U. 5. Urged 10 Aid Virginia
In tobacco Disease Fight
BY the Associated Press

A request that Government ex-
perts be sent to Virginia to help
fight tobacco plant diseases was
made yesterday by Representative
Abbitt, Democrat, of Virginia.
In asking Secretary of Agricul-
ture Brannan for such aid, Mr..
Abbitt wrote that unless some
thing is done very quickly" the
industry will be "irreparably dam
aged"
He proposed that Government
plant technicians work with the
Virginia Extension Service in an
effort to produce disease-resistant
varieties.
Last week, Gov. Battle and his
budget advisory board were told
that "black shank" and other dis
eases are a "very serious" threat
to the States tobacco crop.
The Governor and the board
during a visit to Blacksburg, re-
ceived plea for $174,095 in State
funds to combat the diseases.

2S State Institutions
Make Record Request
For Virginia Funds
BY the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Sept. 22.-Claim.
for tax funds amounting to $112,-
703 ,590-the biggest in the Com
tmonwealth's history - from 2s
ate-supported institutions were
piled in front of Gov. Battle ano
his budget aides today.
They were collected in two weeks
and some $500 miles of travel
over the State by the 10-man
State Budget Advisory Board, the
Governor and representatives OF
the State Budget Office and per-
Isonnel division.
Out Of the maze of figures and
arguments submitted during the
period came these totals:
For operations alone, the insti-
tutions want $57,845 1903 from the
States general fund. That rep
Iresents an increas of So per cent.
For new buildings and equipment.
they want $54,857,787.
Still to be heard by the budget
makers are the departments here
in Richmond. Agency heads will
submit their budgets at hearings
at the capitol October $40, and
with them will be claims for well
fare allotments.
Problem of What To Cut.
The big problem is what to cut
to bring the outgoing funds for
the two years beginning next July
l into line with the incoming reve-
nues without increasing taxes.
There was general determina-
|tion not to increase the tax bur-
den. Gov. Battle has reiterated
his opposition to any tax increases
and other members of the budget
group agreed.
But there was some difference
of opinion on what to do about
the Byrd automatic tax reduction
bill which is designed to keep gen.
eral fund revenues down to $1OO
million.
Gov. Battle SHE'D away from any
discussion of the bill at this time.
Some other members of the group
said privately they could not see
how such low cutoff figure for
revenues could be maintained in
a period of imitation.
Senate Leader Opposes.
Senator Robert o. Norris, a
member of the group and chair
man of the Senate Finance Com
said he was opposed to re-
peal of the Byrd bill unless along
with it there was definite reduc-
ton in the tax rate.
Coupled with a determination
not to raise the tax rate was a
general feeling among the budget
GERS that the individuals that get
the benefit from the institutions
should pay more of the cost.
That concept was most strongly
expressed at hearings for the tu-
berculosis hospitals. The TB hos
pitfalls have free beds and beds for
which patients pay $3.50 a day.
The budget officers expressed the
general conviction patients who
could should be required to pay
much more than the $1.50 a day.

Dean Jacob Klein says there are
fundamentally no changes in the

THE only change is that women
are forbidden in mems dorm

Nothing is beyond hope when 1t
has Jimmy Durante in it, includ-
ing television and/or THE Milk
man." the new film at the Capitol.
Durante is teamed In this with
Donald O'Connor and it is a hap
pily-met duo. Under Charles
Barton's experienced direction,
they accomplish a number of
laughs in spite of a script that was
doomed to dullness when it was a
tired germ of an idea. >
The story, as a matter of fact,
is little more than an excuse to
! get Durante and O'Connor to-
gether, but. as such, it has served
a worthwhile purpose in the world.
Durante is cast as a milkman
about to retire and a proud career
man he is. O'Connor is the son
of a dairy owner who won't give
him job. So Durante jeopar-
dies his pension by vouching for
him at the rival dairy for which
he works.
Add the pretty daughter of his
fathers rival for O'Connor to WOO
and you have what he and Durante
had to work with. What they
have made of it has enough bright
spots to pass the time happily. :.
The best moments of 1.-The Milk
man" probably are the two song
and-dance numbers performed by
the starring pair-"That's My
Boy" and "It's Bigger Than Both
of Us'-and the solo each does.
The Durante numbers are we'll
suited to his style and he Is in fine
form all the way through "The
Milkman." O'Connor can go right
along with him, too. and his ver-
sion Of an inept student milkman
is pretty funny business. He piles
up monumental series Of disas-
ters before he wins the girl, but
that he will in the end do this is,
as Durante says of O'Connor's
chance Of getting q job with Du-
rante backing, "a forlorn conclu-
sion."
Director Barton's function has
been to keep 1.-THE Milkman" NOV
ing and to keep your mind of the
dull spots. He keeps his slapstick
slapping even in some melodrama-
tic moments and, in general, he
can call the job success. Piper
Laurie's function is to look pretty
as the girl O'Connor wins and she
is well qualified for the task.
Songstress Peggy Lee headlines

sistance Of the Westwood Trio,

helped to make popular. Others
