lature to put New York on an

He recommended pay raises for

Republican leaders hailed the
speech as a realistic keynote of
the days ahead. The Democratic
minority pledged whole-hearted
cooperation to the Dewey admin
istration on mobilization and de-
fense.
Appearing personally at the
opening of the 174th regular ses-
sion, Gov. Dewey urged the Legis-
lature to:

eli, armed with sweeping powers,
to meet any emergency without
the necessity of having the Legis-

He said the Nation was faced
with "the genuine possibility of an

Profits Tax Bill Signed
By Truman Who Calls
Il Overly Liberal
Excessive Exemptions
Will Be Watched,
Statement Says
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today signed
the new $3.3 billion excess profits
tax bill. At the same time he
issued a statement critical of the
measure which he said may have
been "overly liberal" in making
special concessions to some cor
porations.
Declaring that excessive ex-
emptions and relief provisions
create inequities and reduce the
Governments revenues needless
ly," the President said that he
was instructing the Secretary of
the Treasury to watch operation
of the new tax so that if need
for revision of the new measure
develops, it can be undertaken
without delay.
The bill. speeded through the
dying days of Congress, fell $700
million below the figure requested
by the President.
The excess profits tax was the
second section of program aimed
at financing the multi-billion dol
lar defense program, and in his
statement today the President said
"even more and much heavier
taxes will be required"

New High In
Juvenile
Delinquency

One Of the lowest fire losses
checked up in a quarter by the City
of East Cleveland is found in the
City Managers report to the City
Commission for January, Feb
ruary and March of 1851. 1t is
mere $660.00 compared to $12,150
for 1850, $6,720 for 1949 and
$6,315 for >1948 respective periods
each. The total number of runs was
48 compared to 70, sc, and 118 for
the previous three year first
quarter periods.
However, in the Police Depart
ment figures there is a jump in
figures, due to two reasons. First,
the new record system now in force
in this department includes every
item Of business in the department,
regardless of its seemingly incon-
sequence.
Also the records show an in
crease in juvenile delinquency in
the city. Of the 1872 misdemeanor
cases for the quarter, the juvenile
delinquency was responsible for 81
petty larceny entries, 35 cases of
vandalism, and % stolen auto
parts. This upward curve among
juveniles is giving much con-
Germ to the department, states
Chief H. S. Weaver.
The extremely bad weather for
the quarter is given as one cause
for the increase in the number of
persons injured on the streets, it
being So compared to % in 1850,
35 in 1949 and 43 in 1948, all first
quarter reports.
The total number of arrests for
the three month period was 801,
less than the 927 for 1850, the 862
for 1949 and the 693 for 1948. This
does not include parking tickets.
Parking waiver receipts for the
quarter were 1892 compared to
S2,643 in 1850, 81 ,199 in 1949 and
1895 in 1948.
Commenting on these figures,
Finance Director, G. T. Apthorp
states that increased collections are
due to several factors namely; new
