Increase In
BeetIeCount
This Season

An anticipated increase in the
1852 Jap Beetle crop, forewarned
by 1951's wet spring, is now COM
ing to pass. John A. Cowing, in
charge of East Cleveland's con-
tinuing battle against the beetle,
states that weekly reports from
the city's 125 traps indicate a
beetle infestation which may reach
within $3.50 of the 1948 peak year.
Furthermore, this years wet
spring will again bring forth a
bumper crop in 1858. Beetle eggs
thrive best in soil heavy with
moisture.
However, despite this tempor-
ary rise, damage to lawns is not
so noticeable this year. This, ex-
plains Mr.. Cowing, is the result
of the Milky Disease treatment
in 1914. The treatment spreads in
ever increasing circles and so far
has proved the best known weapon
against the beetle.
Speaking of lawn damage by
beetles, Mr.. Cowing advises the
use of one of the accepted con-
trolls, such as DDT or chlordane
1t may be purchased under various
trade names such as Synchlor
Dow-Chlor, Octachlor, etc. II
should be used strictly according
to directions. Water should be the
liquid used. The control may be
applied anytime between spring
and fall and is good in the ground
for four or more years. Presence
of beetles is evidenced when sod
patches may be lifted easily. The
beetles eat the roots.
Weekly reports of the beetle
count are made by postal card to
City Hall by volunteer citizens on
whose premises the beetle traps
are placed. The city, in turn makes
detailed reports to DR.. Joseph B.
Polivka, head of the Department
of Entomology, Ohio Agricultural
Extension Station, Wooster, Ohio.
DR.. Polivka has conducted extern
sive field studies of the Japanese
Beetle in Forest Hill Park.
In addition to the city's beetle
program, General Electric Co. is
conducting a similar program at
its Nela Park acreage.
The city's 1851 tally was within
20ao of peak.

zens. This years anticipated Cen
eral fund needs will be $919,835.
In presenting the budget, Mr..
Apthorp reminded the Commission
of the 1852 City Managers esti-
mate given to them last fall when
City Manager Charles A. Carran
set the figure at about $919,750.
The comparison indicates how close
to actual needs the city is operat-
ing.
While the 1853 estimated budget
of $923,240 and the 1852 antici-
pated expenses, with six and half
months to go, are set at $919,835,
just a few thousand dollars apart,
Mr.. Apthorp said that actually
next years budget is $4,000
higher than this years.
This was explained by pointing
out that this year the city is
spending $4,000 for items that
will not appear in next years re-
quirements. The items are $1,000
fire insurance premium payments
with policies running for five
years, and a $4,000 payment on
the street parking meters, which
account it is expected to pay in full
by the middle of next year.
This parking account does not
include the city's Hawley Park
municipal parking lot which is
carried on a separate project. Pay
ments are made on a basis of 500
of income. The remaining income is
used for maintenance and opera
ton
Taxing district budgets permit
of contingent fund up to three
per cent of the budget total. This
year the city's Contingent Fund
carries $4,000. 1t has been put at
S27, 900 for 1858. Explaining this
apportionment, Mr.. Apthorp points
out that nowhere in the budget is
allowance made for possible salary
increases. Should such develop, the
added costs could be met from this
part of the contingent allotment.
Early this year the city granted
salary increases just under go
under a schedule that was compar-
able all along the line. The 1853
payroll, under the present schedule,
is $685., 900.
The balance of the "up" is spread
over a number of items, the city
continually facing added costs of
materials and supplies, just as do
householders. The Police Depart
ment regular annual salary incre-
ments call for an added $4,000. The
new lighting system but recently
completed, is adding to the amount
of electric power utilized each
month and the full effect of this
modernized lighting program will
be felt this coming year. The 1852
lighting bills will total $4,000 The
1858 bills are estimated to reach
$57,400.
This year the Water Department
bought $4,000 worth of new
meters which are replacing old
meters as needed. This brought the
departments 1852 expenditure to
S237 1886. Next year it is back to
its approximately normal $214,710.
Other budget estimates are:
Gasoline Fund $125,660 against
S129,66O this year; Auto licenses,
$6S,035 against $68,i85; Sewage
charges $78,655 against $76,655.
Next years bond retirement
needs are S94,177.5O, which COM
pared to this years $4,000 reflects
the continuing decrease of the
city's bonded debt.

David S. ingalls,. Senator Taft's

Senator Taft himself a week ago

Illinois has chosen 10 delegates

The Taft headquarters count of
COL omitted Georgia's II, four in

Democrats 10 Select
|NewMexicoDe Delegates
BY the Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE. June 26. -
New Mexico Democrats, pleading
for unity but beset by disturbing
family fight, met today to name a
12-vote delegation to the national
convention.
The advance indications were
that an uninstructed delegation
of "a members, each with one
half vote. would be chosen by the
party's State convention. The
main possibility of dispute
hinged on the method of selecting
the delegates.
Backers of Senator Kefauvel
said they had given up any
thought of asking an, instructed
delegation for Senator Kefauver
although they were hopeful OF
getting some delegates friendly to
the Tennessean.
Senator Dennis Chavez, facing
what may be his most bitter bat
tie, and former United States At
torney Everett Grantham, whose
candidacy for governor is still
contested nearly two months
after the primary, made the bids
for unity last night at a $25-a-
plate Jefferson-Jackson Day ban
|Quet.
Senator Chavez is seeking re.
nomination. His November op-
ponent is former Secretary of Wal
Patrick j. Hurley, whom he de.
feated by about 1000 votes ir
1916. The former secretary lost
to Clinton P. Anderson in 1948

Vagrancy Conviction
Reversed on Woman
Arrested Near Home

The United State Court cf Ap-
peals today reversed the convic-
ton last year of a known prost:-
tute, who was arrested on va
grancy charges about two feet
from her home.
The law pertaining to vagrancy
states "the following classes of
persons shall be deemed vagrants
in the District: Any person who
wanderS about the streets at late
and unusual hours of the night
without any visible or lawful
business and not giving a good
account of himself. :"
Policemen testified during the
trial of the appellant. Mildred G.
Beall. that she had made unre-
J sponSlve answers to their ques-
tiOns.
The woman was arrested final
ly on March 13, 1851. after she
told them she had been in COM
pany with an alleged prostitute
and had recently left cafe. She
also told them her husband was
drunk in a lunchroom and she
was going home.
The court held that the officers
questioning had been of banter
ing nature and declared that The
woman had never been "con-
fronted with an order or de
mand to explain her presence in
the street"
The tribunal also ruled that at
the time of her arrest the woman
had given a legitimate reason FOR
being where she was.
The appellate opinion stated:
''It would hardly be contended
that a ell-behaved citizen may
be arrested on sight in his Office
in the middle of the day and
convicted of vagrancy because he
formerly wandered about the
streets late at night with nc
visible or lawful business -"
