POLICE ROLLS
SHRINK AS
CRIME GROWS

Police commissioner Prender-
revealed at a hearing of the CITY
Council finance committee on the
1850 budget that the police de-
partment is short 294 men on it's
roster than it was last year.
Deaths retirements and resig-
nations are responsible for these
vacancies in the department and
the voids are not being filled.
Chicago is sadly lacking in ade-
quate police protection for it's
citizens and although those stall
wart and brave officers that are,
assigned to" duty are dcinng all
that they possibly can, the job
is trifle too big for them.
Commissioner Prendergast was
said to have also stated that ollv
900 men are walking a pest and
that most OF these were on day
time duty at school crossings.
Despite the tremendous increase
i'll population, enhanced by war
time migration, the city today has
thesame number Of police men it
had in 1886.
The southside IS especially in
need Of additional police protec-
ton. A hot-bed Of petty crime, |
this area is being plagued with
hold ups, strong arm robberies,
murder and worst Of all the intro
duction Of dope to school chill
dren The captains Of the district
police stations have done a mag
nnificent job with the men they
have at their command but they
need many more before this up
trend in crime is really surpres-
sed.
The CHICAGO ORLD stands
solidly behind commissioner Prem
dergast in his plea for an addi-
tiOnal l,400 to Strengthen the
force. In 50 large and proud a
metropolis it wuld seem that his
request should not have gone so
long without being acted upon.

ing taxed for many other things

taxes to insure themselves Of adj

the city and it's ability to protect

TAX BOOST
 BATTLE IS
 TO START
Combination Of RepubIi. cans, D em ocrdts Will
 Make Drive Against

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-LR-- A stong combination of Republicans and Democrats was taking shape today for a drive against the $4- billion tax boost. requested by Pres ident Truman.
 Senator Byrd tD-Va). longtime economy advocate, predicted the President will get less than half of what he asked for-if he gets any increase at all.
 With reasonable economies, no tax increase at all would be nec- cessary,' he told reporter. As a step in that direction he proposed dropping 210,000 of the 2,1O0,0O0 federal workers from the govern ment payroll.
 Senator Robertson tD-VaD ex- pressed similar view. T feel the most prudent course would be to balance the budget by economy in spending rather than through an increase in taxes he said.
 And Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) told reporter. Tt is going to be very, very difficult to get as much of an increase at the President re- quested."
 Rep. Taber tR-NY, who was chairman of the House Appropria- tions Committee in the Republican 8oth Congress, said in a state ment he was certain the Presi- dents spending estimates can be shaved very substantially
 And Tabers Senate counterpart. Senator Bridges tR-NH) echoed that view with call for sound cut in government spending
 The President submitted $4l,- 900,00o,000 federal budget estimate for the year starting July l. Pre- dieting deficit of almost S1,000.- 000,000, MT. Truman asked Con- gress to cover it and help pay off the s252, 100000 900 national debt by passing the S4,00O 100000 tax boost.
