Japanese React ApoIogeticoIIy
To Riot: Press Attacks Reds

are genuinely fearful Of a return
to the pre-war police state.
And yet the efficient behavior
Iof the police in yesterdays riot
was generally applauded.
Scores of Communist heads were
cracked but with moderation and
not without provocation.
Police Restraint Called Deliberate.
In fact the police at times
leaned over backwards to avoid
trouble. Some observers believe
this was deliberate so as to give
the Communists plenty Of rope to
hang themselves in the future.
Police authorities absolved
labor unions. which sponsored
the May Day demonstration, of
blame for the violence. Rioters
were for the most part Communist
students and North Korean
sympathizers.
Police estimate 80 per cent of
those who participated in the riot
carried North Korean flags and,
ironically, banners urging. "send
the foreigners home"
Many observers believe the
Communists overplayed their hand
and that yesterdays violence will
cost them any chance they had Of
winning popular support for their
anti-American campaign.
In particular leftwing intellec-
tuals who have espoused the party
line were put on the spot.
At the same time the mob
violence will unquestionably
strengthen extreme rightwing ele-
ments who in their way were just
as bad as the Communists.

demning the rioters. Even the

policy, particularly rearmament
joined in the condemnation.
Criticism of u. s. Inevitable.
There is plenty of criticism o1
America in Japan today but most
observers consider this inevitable
now that the japanese are free tt
speak their minds after nearly
seven years of occupation.
What Ashahi and other papers
feared most was that the con.
Servative YoShida government
will use the Communist violence
as an excuse for repressive legis-
lation which will curtail the free
dom of the people at large in order
to strike at the Red minority.
There was little doubt that th'

eity's spending plan for the next
fiscal year.
The budget officer said the
Commissioners realized last fall
they we're faced with the prospect
of more or higher taxes or with
economizing in planning the 1858
budget. For this reason, he said,
they issued an order freezing all
District positions. to force saw
ings. He added that the District
saved S2.1 million in payroll
money by not filling vacancies
caused by deaths. designations
and retirements. He noted that
this was considerably more than
the $1.3 million needed to meet
with in-grade promotions for Dis
trict government workers.
Raises Boost Costs.
Yet because of pay raises legis-
lated by Congress, he said, the
District had to meet a $13 mil
lion increase in payroll costs fol-
the 1852 and 1853 fiscal years. He
brought out also that since 194e
legislated pay raises have boosted
District costs by $36 million.
Mr.. Fowler took issue with the
House committee in its argument
that it had to cut the budget be-
cause it showed there would be a
surplus in the general fund at the
end of next year of only $4,000
The budget officer stressed that
the budget estimates included an
earmarked fund of $1.2 million fol
supplemental and emergency
needs. In addition, he said Dis
trict officials conferred with agents
of the Federal Budget Bureau last
week to make the latest estimates
of next years city revenues anc
had found them $18 million high
er than what had been estimated
months earlier.
Economy Steps Taken.
Mr.. Fowler said these facts Ger
tainly met the argument OF th'
House committee that the bulge
should be cut enough to assure al
ADEQUATE operating surplus in eacl
of the city funds.
He declared also that the Com
m,ssioners had taken suftciell
economy steps to meet the secon
argument of the House committe
that every proposed outlay shoul
have substantial justification. H
noted that the Commissioner
budget had been held to a lew
rs million below appropriation
for the current year. This We
the first time in 20 years the Com
missioners had asked for le'
spending than Congress had az
proved for the current year.

and will be built at the Chill

demands for corrective action.

from interested Senators.
The Commissioners said that. II
Congress made the requested
,restorations, both as to spend
ing and the Federal pay
ment, they would have a
cushion of $2.3 million at the end
of the next year. But they warned
that. if they won only the restora-
tion of budget cuts and failed to
regain the full Federal payment,
the District then would face a
general fund deficit of $4,000
Compromise Possible.
Two years ago the House
ordered a 10 per cent cut in the
Federal payment and made it
ytick. Last year the House voted
the same cut but the Senate put
up a fight and won a compromise
that left the Federal share short
by $500, 900, half the cut first pro-
posed by the House.
Some Senators have suggested
this years cut of 20 per cent in
the payment was made by the
House in anticipation of a similar
compromise. District officials
noted that the full $12 million
Federal payment was authorized
in the 1947 law. which placed a
heavy additional tax burden on
the District.
The Commissioners budget
Icalled for outlays totaling $136.4
million. They had Topped more
