make the President do economizing on his own.
 The plan would require that if on Dec. 21 the President should find that expenditures for the next six months would exceed expected receipts, he must proclaim that all appropriations should be reduced by uniform percentage sufficient to get the Govern mert budget back in balance.
 Advocates of bigger and better Government spending to expand the national economy and so tribute to greater prosperity don't like this idea even
 little The full-employment economists are already up in arms against it. They claim 1t is a dirty actionary maneuver to kill the Employment Act They claim the reorganization bill plan would give the tion and appropriations veto power the recom- mendatons of the new Joint Congressional Committee on the Economic Report, set up by the Employment Act.

 It so happens that Sen. Robert M LaFollette of Wisconsin and Congressman A. S. Mike Mon- roney of Oklahoma, co-chairmen of the Joint Com mittee Reorganization of Congress, both support ed the Employment Act, and neither be accused of being reactionary.
 In addition to this, Mike Monroney admits frank ly that this idea for cheeks Government spending is all his He sold 1t to the reorganization committee.

WRITER THINKS MORE TEETH THAN AT PRESENT SHOULD BE INJECTED INTO THE
 CITY'S SAFETY CAMPAIGN
35 FaiIvieW Street Waterbury 76, Conn. June 9, 1946

Editor of The Democrat:
 A crying tragedy of our nation is the startling loss of life, limb and property that results from accidents. This tragedy is made more bitter by the very realization that most of the accidents have been, and are, totally unneceSsary-they could have been entirely avoided by such 8 simple thing as the exercise of a little care.
 Here is problem on which we have heard much on a national scale, and not enough on the local level. Indeed, the national or state character of most accident preven- tion drives have, 1t seems to me, failed to impress 8 person with the thought and the feeling that it can happen to him.
 At present the Waterbury Safety Council Is conducting 8 local acci- dent prevention campaign. We should all support this drive in every way we can in order to make our community a safer place in which to live.
 A continuous program, similar to, and patterned somewhat after the more effective drives in the recent war program, is indeed needed to fight the great destroyer, Careless ness.
 Talking about careleSSneSs, or re- porting its evil fruits in facts and figures or by horror stories and pie tures, is not enough by itself to win the fight against carelessness.
 However, if these facts and fig ures can be gotten across with such force as to cause the reader or hear CT to realize the dangers and to take steps to protect himself against careleSsness, your safety campaign becomes effective.
 But, sometimes feel that the startling facts and figures do not cause us to go easy on the accelera- tor or to walk more carefully. And does the appeals have anymore ef- feet on most of us than the much ignored NO SMOKING signs in the buses?
 Because the facts and figures are widespread. and the appeals are general rather than specific, the average person, being a hopeful creature. thinks that accidents won't hapepn to him. Just as long as he feels secure in this respect, he won't change his bad and careless habits to good and safe ones-and to the extent your accident campaign fails

Views of the Press
A SENSIBLE MOVE
(Boston Post)

The mandate to federal agencies in Washington calling upon them to rid their files of useless records to save space which is badly needed is undoubtedly the biggest contribu- ton made to the wastepaper salvage drive in the nation. President Tru- man has informed them that they will have to cut down 50 percent on their records, with those of historic al value being sent to the Archive building. The army and navy have records bulky enough to fill almost eight buildings the size of this one. The wonder is that the orders to get rid of all these unneeded federal records was not issued a long time ago. It could have been used to even greater advantage during the war than now.

prominent oil companies asking
them to attend the proposed hear

movement to get the Cape Fear
channel deepened to IS feet in an
effort to make Wilmington one of
the outstanding seaports Of the

HERS, in asking the oil COM
panies to be represented at the
hearing, requested that they bring
information which would show the
amount of savings in both time
and money to the companies if
the river e deepened to 35 feet
to accommodate modern deep-draft
