Association Declines
To Oppose Budget Cui

A suggestion that the Federal
budget be kept at the level proposed
by President Truman was received
coldly by members of the Glover
Park Citizens Association last night.
L. J. Segadelli, acting regional
director of the United Public Work
ers (CIO), told the association any
cut in the budget would be detri-
mental to the entire Nation. He
criticized efforts of the Republican
leadership to trim the budget by as
much as $4,000, 900 900 and said
such economy would produce q
trend toward depression.
| He pointed out budget cut would
mean laying off many Government
workers.
When asked by members of the
group if he opposed firing of un-
necessary Government workers, MIR.
Segadelli said he did not "as long
as it is done in the right places"
The association took no formal ac-
ton on Mr.. Segadelli's suggestions.
The group opposed a sales tax for
the District.
Another motion passed asked for
the installation of a traffic light at

Though she was situated con-
veniently for trade, Wilmington
was situated very inconveniently
for defense. Terror struck the
minds of the inhabitants of Will
mington on March 4th, 1748, when
a warning was sent out over the
whole Cape Fear section that the
Spaniards were sailing into the
harbor of Wilmington.
With maddening deliberation
the Spaniards approached the
port and finally seized it on
March the tenth. But on March
fourteenth, a band of three hun
dred men, headed by Captain

John Ashe. William Pride, and
John Sampson, drove the foreign
ers away in disgrace. Many
Spaniards had been killed and
wounded and twenty-nine were
taken prisoner without a single
casualty on the side of Whining
ton. The Spaniards considered
their defeat "beginners luck" and
returned in September only to
meet a more devastating defeat
than they had suffered before.
Armed townsmen stood ready
on the shoreline of Brunswick. A
battle ensued, and when one of
the Spanish ships was blown up,
the others sailed away without
another effort to defend them

their methods of infiltration and

Senator Umstead said, Zone

-Russia-We find breaking away
from the unity of purpose and
unity of power which won the
war" He added that the Rus
slams had taken over their East

infiltration by organized bands
and overthrow of established
governments by propaganda. He
said that the little nations of
Europe don't know what day
they will be taken over by force
from without or i%nfiltration from

Everywhere that insidious
type of aggression which bores

Home demand for agricultural
machinery is one of the big
drawbacks to a program of agri-
cultural rehabilitation for Eu-

stead.
Touching on budgetary ex-
penditures, the senator told his
audience that $29 billion Of the
$37 billion appropriated to
operate the government for this
fiscal year were allowed for ex-
penditures arising directly from
World War II. This left only
about seven and one-half billion
for all other functions of the
Federal government, he explain

If the four and one-half billion

to United States economy and
security if it doesn't help Eu-

Umstead asked his listeners to

Clifford insisted that John L. Lewis had to be dealt

building costs.
Delays in getting houses finished
in 1947 will be much less marked
and this increased efficiency will
help to cut excess costs, he said.
Most of the units will still be one
family homes, but this year will see
more apartments and flats built
