Operating Budget for Welfare
[Upl Despite Overall Fund Cut

At first glance. the 1858 Dis
trict welfare budget proposal,
which Congress will take up in a
few weeks, presents a misleading
picture of huge cuts in the service.
It is some So million lower
than the sos million being spent
on welfare this fiscal year. But
when operating expenses are
separated from new construction
funds, the new budget is up more
than $500,000.
This year, bumper year for
building, the Welfare Department
has some $4.5 million for new
permanent improvements. Next
year, only $4,000 is earmarked
for so-called capital outlay.
The 1858 budget carries $16,-
647,00 for operating expenses.
OF the increase, 1851 900 is alb
sorbed by the higher rates for
care of INDECENT District patients

Mrs. Wayne Coy, chairman. said
following the meeting in Barker
Hall YWCA that additional facts
would be mailed to Mr.. Fowler
today, and that the section well
coined the opportunity to supply
them.
Among criticisms directed at the
pending budget proposal were
these:
l. Public assistance payments to
some $4,000 dependent persons
will continue 20 per cent below
the minimum necessary to main
tain health
2. A delay of five to six weeks
in determining the eligibility ot

tinue to throw a burden on
private agencies for emergency
relief which their budgets cannot
meet.
8. The Children's Center at
Laurel, planned for many years

Suggestions included a higher

Editorial
ONE MOTHER PREFERABLE

ONE MOTHER PREFERABLE
THIS PAS Mothers Day saw the election of two
Mothers Of the Year. The same thing took place last year,
and it was hoped that somehow there would not be a repeti-
ton, unless, of course, there was definite and unmistakabe
Qualification and explanation. The only reason for the com
ment here is that, according to custom there is usually one
mother appointed for a given territory, as, for example, one
national mother (who this year happens to be a Chinese
woman); state mother of the year, county, and the like. Then
certain companies or societies, or even college groups elect
their own mother Of the year. But there are never two mothers
for any one state, county or political subdivision. For such
to be the case would almost make a mockery Of the election.
THE WOMENS A whose membership is re-
preventative of the entire island, has done the electing for
quite some time now, and is accepted as the group which is
normally in the best position to conduct such an election.
This, we believe, is the accepted procedure, and up to this
point has not had any opposition raised to it. Under the cir
cumstances the mother elected by the League should natur-
lily be considered the official representative.
vi TO THIS point no mention has been made Of the
mother honored this year because the individual is in no way
involved. Principle is what is being discussed, and should be
maintained to the end. However, Mrs. Francisco Brignoni,
who has raised more than her share of family, and has done
4 good lob Of it, was an excellent selection. A mothers love
knows no lines, and if, in the spirit with which she is imbued,
she performs her task d~utifully and well, then the honor is
hers. The national Mother of the Year in the United States
was a Chinese woman whose labors had helped put two sons
through medical school, and a girl on her way to college. Il
did not matter that this fine little woman happened to be
born III China.
THERE is NO objection whatever to having as many
mothers elected as in the opinion Of groups need to be elect
ed. Clubs may elect their own, as may classes IN high school,
and the ike, but we believe that all will agree with US that
the preferable method would be to have one Mother Of the
Year for the island as a whole. Everyone should see through
this rather easily, and in the future steps taken to bring about
this desirable change.

lican members, announced plans

Senator Ferguson said he ex-
pected his three dissenting COL
leagues to join in signing the re-
port. They are Senators Watkins,

was both "evasive and contra

rights of the Presidency" This
was reference to persistent
questions asked the jurist about |

Senator Ferguson said he based |
his opposition on both "conStitu-
tional questions" and certain legal
rulings Mr.. McGranery has made
as a judge. During four days of |
hearings. the Michigan Repub-
lican singled out for criticism four
decisions made by Judge Nc
Granery in cases he handled.
