Martin Ends Vacation,
Still Convinced That
Budget Can Be Cut
By J. A. O'Leuv

House Minority Leader Martin
returned to, Washington today
still convinced that further cuts
can be made in the $29 billion
omnibus money bill to run the
Government next year.
One of the first Easter vaca-
tionists to get back, Mr.. Martin
said he had heard nothing at
home to change his earlier belief
that the people want more
economy in Government.
When the House reconvenes to-
morrow it will get down to ac-
ton on the big measure, which
covers all Of the regular budget
except the 5000. ZOO, 900 Foreign
Economic Aid program. These
funds will be added as soon as
the Senate passes the foreign aid
authorization.
Policy Committee to Meet.
Asked about reports that his
House colleagues would come back
from their Easter vacations more
interested in restoring local pro-
jects already trimmed from the
bill in committee, Mr.. Martin in
dicated he was not worried by
that phase of the economy fight.
The local projects. he said. don't
amount to much" in relation to
the total Of the Federal budget.
Mr.. Martin said he. would call
a meeting Of the Republican Policy
Committee sometime this week to
resume plans it was discussing be-
fore the recess for some overall
reduction beyond the cuts already
made by the Appropriations Com
mittee.
The Committee reduced budget
estimates by about SIS billion, but
since all the funds to be appro-
priated at this time will not be
spent within IL months, the actual
cut in spending within the COM
ing fiscal year would be about 81
DllllOn.
Defense Fund Is Obstacle.
The Republicans have been CIV
ing some thought to an amend
ment to ban the filling of vacan-
cies in Government jobs, which
they believe would produce fur
ther substantial saving in the
course Of q year. A definite plan
Of action. however. is awaiting an
other meeting of the policy group.
One Of the toughest obstacles
in the path of the economy drive
will be the demand Of Chairman
Vinson Of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee to add more de-
tense money to the bill in the
House.

HUSBAND is
BURNED UP

COLUMBUS. O.-tF-Ladies,
are you tired of seeing your hus-
bands old fishing clothes and
other junk littering up the house?
In Ohio you could burn them and
get away with it-legally speak
ing, that is.
Common Pleas Judge Joseph
NJ Clifford dismissed a charge
of burning personal property
against a wife who admitted she
set her husbands truck .afire.
Why Because, she said, he
wouldn't take her on ! trip. :,
The legal principle behind the
dismissal, Judge Clifford explain
ed. is that. under Ohio law per-
sonal property belonging to Ell
Their husband or wife also belongs
to the other.

Answer:

There are three excellent
reasons why you should not mar
ny this boy. The first is that he
IS indispensable: One thing
necessary to the happiness OF
married people is the trustworthi-
ness OF a partner. If you can not
believe anything he says now he
IS not likely to improve as time
goes on For all you know he
may be married all ready and
have wife in some other little
town.
The second reason IS that YOU
haven't finished your education
and are too young. Every girl
should finish school and prepare
herself to make living for she
never knows what life has in
store for her.
The third reason is that YOU
have not known him long enough
to judge what kind of husband
ne will make. Getting married Is
serious business and should
not be entered into unless you
know this man and his people
well.
So take my advice and refuse
to get serious. ANY boy who is
urging sixteen year old to run
away and get married is either
up to no good or hasn't much
practical common sense.
LOUISA.
