Lewis and Clark county grand
jurors, acting independently of legal
advisors, today returned a special
and partial report in which they
dashed out at what they termed "di-
rect attempts to thwart and make
a farce of any type of law and or
der when it pertains in any way to
either gambling or slot machine
operations in this county"
The report, signed by Foreman
James w. Salisbury, Jr., for the ma
jority of the seven-member jury, rec
commended to the district court that
all slot machines be shut down until
the state supreme court Glands down
clean-cut decision as to whether or
not these various types of operations
are legal.

who in this instance is acting indie

any of the attorneys attached by the

see that all slot machine opera

and all, places where slot ma
chimes are being operated, without
exception, until such time as the
state supreme court has handed
down a clear-cut decision as to
whether or not these various types
of operations are legal.

An "impregnable" ring of air
bases around Russia is the best

publican Leader Wherry of Ne

this government intends to 60 for

Brussels last week for building a

Major Issue for Capital Hill.
The reply of the Republican
floor leader convinced some OBJ
servers that the sending of Amer
ican ground troops to Europe will
be a major issue in foreign policy
debates on Capitol Hill this WIN
ter.
A hint thai at least some of the
Republicans in Congress will try to
confine European aid to air and sea
power was contained in this part
of the Wherry statement:
while the President of the
United States has full power under
the treaty North Atlantic pact)
and Constitution to unlimited ne
gotiation with the other treaty
signers, the final determination of
mutual aid as far as the United
States is concerned, rests with the
Congress"
Senator Wherry Is a member of
the Appropriations Committee and
would have an opportunity to
make his fight there whenever
funds to supply ground troops in
Western Europe are asked for.
Some lawmakers have quoted
top military men as having ex-
pressed the belief that the next
war will be won on the ground, as
in the past.

Senator Wherry emphasized
that Congress should keep the
pledge of mutual aid made in the
North Atlantic Treaty. but he in
sisted that each nation under the

siderable pressure from outside
Washington as we'll to keep the

staff here. The organization. which
has Offices in the National Press
Building, wrote its members say
ing:
"Since the situation is fast

cerned."

is distinct from the dispersal"
program. The former contem-
plated moving agencies to other
cities permanently. Testimony be-
fore congressional committees has
put the number of jobs involved
at 5000 to $4,000. with some per-
sons favoring a figure even greater
than $4,000.
The dispersal program is the
$3.50 million dollar plan to build
on eight sites 20 miles from
downtown Washington. Initially,
agencies with 10000 employees
would be moved there as defense
measure and as a permanent So
luton for downtown congestion.
In the emergency the number of
such dispersed workers might
reach 10000.
The dispersal plans are before
the House and Senate Public
Works Committees but with prac-
tically no chance of passage in
the present Congress.

ate Public Works Committee. said
yesterday, however. he is conf
dent a dispersal bill of some kind

Revenue to Be Higher.


Budget Officer Walter L. Fow-
ler has stated that the Districts
budget proposal for next fiscal
year is balanced one, however.
and indications are that the avail
able revenue will be considerably
higher than the amount appropri-
ated for this year.
At the public hearing on the
budget last fall, Commissioner
John Russell Young pointed out
that the $131, ,682, ,280 which Dis
trict department heads asked for
general fund items in fiscal 1852
was about $40 millions more than
the estimated revenue availability.
If the city heads pared the de-
partmental requests by $40 mil
lion, the total budget request in
cluding some $12.5 million for the
highway fund and $40 million or
SO fol- the water fund, would be
in the neighborhood of $135 mil
lion.
SAL Million for Capital Outlay.
Figuring largely in such a whop-
ping budget would be capital out
lay-the provision of new perma-
nent improvements for the city.
| The District never has caught up
with the backlog of construction
needs which has built up since

! The department heads asked
for a total of S41,061, ,251 for capi-
tai outlay.
Higher operating costs also must
be figured into the 1852 budget.
While the Commissioners un-
doubtedly did not ask for all the
1923 new jobs which the depart
ment heads would like to have.
they conceivably will ask for sew
eral hundred.
The revenue expected to be
available in fiscal 1852 includes an
estimated So million surplus as Of
the end of fiscal 1851. District Of
ficials also are counting on a full

the District. This year. the amount
