For D. {. Protested
Al Mass Meetinq

| Several hundred persons last
night held a mass meeting to
protest the House Appropria-
tions Committees cut of the Dis
trict Civil Defense budget from
the requested $4,000 to $23,-
339.
| A resolution, speedily adopted
during the meeting in the De-
partmental Auditorium, formally
registered the protest. But
the audience, mostly civil de-
fense volunteer workers. went
further. A petition was cir
culated deploring the cut. 1t
will be sent to Chairman Dirksen
of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. urging that group
to reconsider.
Moreover. a special committee
will be formed to ask the appro-
priations committee to restore
the funds.
See Program Wrecked.
The resolution declared that
the cuts would render civil de-
tense powerless to carry out any
of the functions it is now cap
able of performing, and elimi-
nate any continued civil defense
program"
The resolution was similar to
one passed at the last meeting
of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. which also asked
restoration of the cut.
The meeting last night was
called by Max c. Schwartz.

Judge Holtzoff refused to let
him go into that, commenting,

Mr.. Sexton explained he was
on leave from Capital Transit

showed that the slight increase
in the traffic that the hospital
would generate would offer no
problem.
Mr.. Justement, who explained
details of the hospital plan, also
commented that if the hospital

that the university would erect

1t is always sad to hear of such
situations. Some parents forget
how important it is for children
to play Thirteen-year-olds some
times act grown up, but they
slip back into childhood often
For them this is a period of strain
and change. Parents have to be
aware Of this and help them avoid
the pitfalls.
Margie, did you every try to
tell your father and stepmother
how you feel? If it is hard to talk
to your father, talk to your guild
ance teacher at school She will
be glad to help you. Explain your
problem to her and tell her just
how you feel. She will keep your
confidence, and she will suggest
what is best for you and your
family. She will also arrange a
talk with your father if you wish
her to do so. She may be able to
help your parents understand your
feelings and needs. Maybe a new
schedule can be worked out, too
and you will all be much hap
pier,
One other thing, Margie You
must try to understand your par
ents and their problems. This is
very hard, I know, but you can
help them a lot if you do.

Ike Proposes To Lop $8h Billion From Old Budget

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower reportedly laid before legislative leaders yesterday pre- liminary proposals to whack ap- proximately $813 billion off for mer President Truman's budget.
 Lawmakers who sat in on the discussion at the White House said the tentative cuts would in- clude a reduction of about $5 bill lion in Truman's proposals for military spending.
 Reductions of $1,8OO, ,O0O, 900 in foreign aid, $1, 200, ,O00, 900 in dom estic spending and $250, ,000, ,000 in atomic projects also were dis cussed.
 Eisenhower was said to have emphasized that the approximate $8h billion cuts under the Tru- man 78,6OO,O0O, ,O0O spending pro- gram for the year beginning July l were only preliminary and would be removed later. Truman figured defense spending at $46,- 3O0,0O0,OOO.
 Lawmakers who attended the conference said it was their inn pression that the proposed $815 billion cuts would make it possi- ble to balance the so-called leash" budget in the next fiscal year.
 This budget is based on what the treasury actually pays out and takes in, including social security and similar receipts which go into trust funds.
 The proposed cut, however, would leave the regular budget out of balance more than $1R billion dollars, since tax revenues for the fiscal year were estimated at S68,665, 100000 by Truman.

Speed Up Effort By State To Dust Old AchesOn Team

WASHINGTON, ,R- Sen. Mundt R-SD) disclosed Thursday what he called a highly accelerated" State Department effort to, elimi- nate members of the old Acheson team" from top policy positions.
 Mundt said the Senate subcom- mittee was informed at a secret meeting this week that Secretary Dulles has replaced over 50 per- sons in key positions for policy reasons alone" A few involved shifts from policy to non-policy posts, he said, but resignations ac- counted for the rest.
 In addition, Mundt said, the ad- ministration has removed or ob- tained the resignation of 49 others ''for reasons of suitability, secur- ity or homosexuality" since the COP took over Jan. 20. Another 112 applicants have been denied jobs since then on the same grounds, he added.
 Mundt, an outspoken critic of former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, complained recently of a slow turnover of top State De partment jobs to men more Gin sympathy with the new adminis- tration."

Alaska Fishing Operator Predicts Trouble With Japanese Over Crabs

COLD BAY, Alaska, R - An Alaska fishing operator has re- ported the arrival of Japanese crab fishing fleet in the outer waters of Bristol Bay.
 The Japanese fleets net gear is reported out. in a 1O-mile square area around the mother ship.
 J. H. Wakefield of Wakefield's Deep Sea Trawlers, Inc, predict ed recently there would he "trou- ble" between Japanese and AL aska crab fishermen in the big bay west of Alaska this season. The Wakefield firm also is en- gagged in fishing for the giant king crabs, which have a leg span of several feet.
 He said the Japanese fishermen are not restricted in their catches while American fishermen can take only male crabs of adult size.
 
 The Alaska legislature passed a memorial at it's recent session petitioning the United States gov- ernment to take steps toward safe guarding the fishing in the bay, which Alaskan fishermen long have considered Alaskan waters. US. Fish and Wildlife Service authorities hold, however, that they are international waters out side the three-mile limit.

 All the bombs were set off in small public parks, where damage was unlikely. The first blast oc- cured shortly after midnight and the others came at intervals after that.

Mrs. Jackson brought suit to
