Record Budget for City
Proposed by 0'Dwyer
BY the Assoe;utsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 30.-Mayor
William ODwyer proposed today
a record breaking city executive
budget of $1,243.451,794 for the
1950-51 fiscal year.
In the Nation it is second only
to the Federal budget.
The proposed budget is $4l,-
896. .430-or $40 per cent-over the
modified budget for the current
fiscal year. which ends June 80.
The new budget, presented to
the Board Of Estimate, does not
call for new taxes or general sal
ary increases. The increase is
caused by debt SERVICE mandatory
salary increases, new positions and
rises in operating costs.
The sum Of $e67, ,747, ,009 is to be
provided from real estate taxes
and general fund revenues, and
$275,704,785 from other sources,
chiefly from State and Federal aid.
Although the executive budget
contains no prediction on the
amount Of the basic real estate
tax rate for the next fiscal year,
city financial experts figured that
the new basis rate, effective July /,
will reach an all-tirne high.
The present rate is $3.50 per
$100 Of assessed valuation. Pre-
dictions at City Hall were that the
rate. to be fixed by the City Coun-
Gil, will jump Is cents.

testimony of Air Force Secretary
Symington that the 48-group Air
Force would "deteriorate" rather
than become more modern under
the aviation procurement planned
under the budget.
But Senator Thomas took the
position that remedies already
had been found for the short
comings mentioned by Gen. Eisen-
hover. He said, for example, that
a supplemental Alaskan budget
estimate already was on its way
from the Pentagon. He concluded
that while the general had made
an excellent presentation. his
New York speech was not "justi-
fed by his testimony.
Mr.. Vinson said his proposed
budget additions would call for:
/. 5000 million for Air Force
planes and equipment.
2. $40 million to strengthen
naval and Marine Corps aviation.
8. $26 million cash with ap-
proximately $40 million in con-
tract authority to rush construc-
ton of a radar network, especially
in the strategically important
Northwest and Alaska.
In outlining his part in map
ping the budget, Gen. Eisenhower
made plain that he did not set the
s13 billion. ceiling On defense
spending. That figure was given
him by Defense Secretary John
son, he said, after President Tru-
man had first set SIS billion
figure.
However. he told reporters that
he knew of no differences between
him and either the President or
Mr.. johnson over the spending
program.

Laborites Reported
Aiming al New Test
To Restore Prestiqe
BY the Associotsd PvSss

LONDON, Mar. 30.-Prime Min
lister Attlee's Labor government,
smarting under a sleeper defeat in
the House of Commons on a minor
issue, was reported today aiming
for a confidence vote to patch up
the hole in its prestige.
Winston Churchill's Conserva-
tives pulled surprise victory in
Commons last night in 4 vote on
parliamentary technicality. The
vote was on whether to adjourn,
not an issue upon which the gov
ernment might fall. The maneu-
yer. however, gave the Laborites a
taste Of the battle in store at
every turn.
Attlee's cabinet met for more
than two hours this morning in a
post mortem on the 283-257 vote.
To assuage the pain of defeat, the
government is expected to ask for
a new vote Of confidence, pos
sibly in a week or 10 days. Defeat
on a confidence vote would re-
quire the government to resign.
Labor's majority in the Com
mons has been cut to only three
seats. Under the British parlia-
mentary system the government
must resign If defeated on any
major policy issue.
The Tory needle struck the
House by surprise. A lot of men,
bers were absent, some without
explanation. AS q drab debate on
Labor's handling OF gasoline and
coal supplies droned to a close,
Tory members and some of their
Liberal allies began filtering into
Commons in strength, some of
them dressed in evening wear.
They obviously had been tipped
of.
Then. without warning. they
forced through the technical
motion to adjourn the nights
session.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Mar. 30
Robert E. Bednasek told the jury
in his murder trial today that the
girl he loved was killed accident
ally after he had kissed her and
they playfully put their hands on
each others throat.

Empty Arms rooming house last
December IL.
This was his story of her tragic
strangulation at the end of "a
wonderful evening" when they re-
turned to the rooming house for
nightcap after dining on seafood
and wine and attending a frater-
nifty dance:
I'VE were standing in approx
mately the middle of the room.
l kissed her. She kissed me.
Strange Look on Face.
''Playfully laughing she put her
hands to my throat as she had
done before. I said something
about that not being the right
place or something like that.
"At the same time she had her
hands around my throat. I placed
my hands on hers.
The next instant a surprised.
strange look came on her face.
She threw up her arms. breaking
my hands from her throat"
Defense Attorney Clair Hamil-
ton interjected to ask the hand
some psychology student If he let
go Of the Iowa co-ed's throat
right away.
Yes" Bednasek continued. II
didn't think anything about it.
We started to dance-I don't
know whether it, was an instant
or q minute or two. Then she
started making a gasping, moan
ing sound and she started twisting
in my arms.
Says She Struck Chair.
There was more gasping and
moaning and she staggered away
from me with her hands up to
her throat.
She staggered toward the bed,
fell against the edge of a chair
and seemed to sigh"
1t was later that Bednasek ran
to the police station and called
for help. He wept occasionally as
he told his story of the tragedy.
1t was his second day on the stand
IN the three-week-long trial.

BY HARRY I. TAKAGI

This bakery strike, which may OF
may not be settled by the time you
read this, is just another illustration
of a situation which, although toler..
ated and permitted under our pre-,
sent system of laws, is senseless,
asinine, and downright aggravating
as far as I, member of John @.
Public. am concerned.
Regardless of the merits of the
case presented by the striking bakery
employees, I submit that there is
something extremely screwy in our
economic system when, in order to
further the demands of a couple Ct
thousand workers, a city of almosi
a half-million is deprived of the
right to buy bread and other bakery
products until such time as the strike
is called off Tt just isn't reasonable
and my sense of relative values Is
outraged by the spectacle.
The bakery strike is not. of course.
catastrophe one as far as the
citizenry is concerned. Tt does no.
strike as hard against the public
interest as, for example, the present
dairy strike in Western Pennsylvania
which is depriving a seven-county
area of fresh milk Nevertheless, they
are both in the same category in that
the damage and inconvenience TO
the public so greatly outweighs the
demands of the strikers that It
makes them seem piddling and in
significant in comparison.
Labor and management have Ions
considered that the settlement of
their disputes is a matter which con-
Germs them exclusively In the volu-
minous history of the relationship
between labor and management, 1t
is apparent that neither party to the
struggle for dominance between the
two factions have ever seriously con-
Sidered the rights of neutral pub

home canned food should never be
thrown where animals will get it OF
where it will infect the soil. Add q
tablespoon of lye to each jar of
spoiled food. Let 1t stand for "a
hours and then bury it. The glass
jar should be carefully soaked in a

These unhappy headlines are not
intended to discourage the home

phasize the necessity for simple pre-

Commercial Gamers have elimi-

applying the results of research in
carefully controlled canning tech

that record by the selection of
food in top condition and by can

Looking at the bakery strike from
another angle and apart from It,
relation to the general economic
scheme of things, 1t occurs to us
that it might even prove to be a
blessing in disguise.
The general run of bakery pro-
ducts. with the exception of higher
priced goods put out by prestige
bakeries, is barely passable. In part
this is caused by the fact that com
mercial bakers must prepare a pro-
duct which will keep for several
days. a complicating factor with
which the average housewife does
not have to contend.
At any rate. never did go much
for commercial bread. pies, cakes.
and so forth. some of the worst of
which tasted like so much moist
blotting paper. Deprived of the usual
source of supply the housewives will
be forced to convert flour and other
ingredients into bread, rolls. biscuits
and pastry We daresay that most of
them will do quite well. and with
practice they'll get better. Anyhow
the average housewife doesn't have
to be crackerjack baker in order
to exceed the usual commercial stan
dard.
Nisei cooks have another expedient
not available to most family cooks.
No bread? That's no problem-serve
rice instead

/ lie AS result the present manner
of settling disputes between labo,
and management reminds one OF
two small boys who, in arguing over
ten-cent candy bar, heedlessly
wreak hundred dollars worth of
damage to q neighbours house and
garden.
1t is high time that labor and
management realize that their dis.
putes are not merely two-party con-
troversies, and that the rights of the
public must be preserved and pro-
tected. If participants to labo
controversy cannot settle their dig
ferences without damage and great
inconvenience to the public, then in
evitably the time will come when a
patient and long suffering public
will settle its disputes for them. in
order to prevent irreparable damage
to the public interest.
Management and labor have had
their turn at bat IF you ask me.
it's high time the public had an
inning.
