Mrs. Eddie Lou Allen, 1923

[ think that juvenile delinquent
cy can be curbed by the Older
people themselves. Give the chill

make proper Fairgrounds and
proper amusement parks and
have games and skating for
these children. This should be
supervised by qualified supervis-

Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson, 1897

1t. Onet Johnson, 1901 Turn

I think the parents should be
closer to their children and give
them something to do.
Mrs. .Thelma Adams, 1900
Springfield avenue = Housewife.
If we correct the delinquent
parent, the delinquent juvenile
problem will be almost solved.
Parents should try to know at

with whom they are associating,

REMARKABLE IN HISTORY

Sergeant James Johnson, night

unparalleled on any of the de-

Here is a public servant, who
happened to visit this commun-

Chicago Police department. The
Chief Of Police at that time was
VIM. Marsh, brother of present
Trustee Marsh. Knowing of the
service and qualifications of
Johnson, he recommended him to
the then mayor, Hollis Reeves.
Johnson, knowing very little
of the village he proceeded to
learn the hard way-that is, he
in answering a call set out dog
ged1y to find house numbers and
streets. He is personally respon-
sible for many arrests of law
violators.

Budget-Cutting Drive
In Congress Nears
Goal Of $40 Billion
House Expected to Lop
About 81 Billion OFF
Foreiqn-Aid Bill
By the Assoeioted Press

The drive of congressional
budget-cutters to chop $40 bill
lion from new appropriations
this year was just about over the
top today,
With only one big money bill
still to be considered by the
House, original appropriation
requests made last January by
President Truman have been
pared about $9.3 billion by the
House. There is no indication
that the Senate will restore any
major part of this reduction.
Much of the budget-cutting
was recommended by President
Eisenhower but in some cases
the House voted to cut further.
The remaining bill to be acted
on by the House provides funds
for continuance of the foreign
aid program. The House already
has directed its Appropriations
Committee to lop about 50 bill
lion off Mr.. Truman's figures for
foreign aid.
Ceilings on Spending.
The budget-cutting hit fairly
hard at the revised appropriation
requests of President EisenhoW-
er. When all the bills are passed,
the prospect is that the Eisen-
hover estimates will have been
trimmed about So billion.
Only six of the II regular ap-
preparations bills passed by the
House have cleared the Senate,
and only one of them has become
law. The other five Senate-passed
measures are awaiting adjust
ment by conference committees.
Final congressional action on
the last of the money bills, f.
nancing the foreign-aid program,

already acted upon by Senate
and House is an authorization
measure. 1t sets ceilings on
spending, but the actual funds
are still to be voted.
More Slashes Expected.
Republicans spearheading the
budget-cutting drive in the
House cnalked up their biggest
victory on the defense apple
priation bill. The House passed
that bill last Friday, cutting $6.2
billion from the Truman esti-
mates and $1.3 billion from the
Eisenhower figures.
Prospects are that on the for
eign aid appropriation now being
drafted, the House will cut a
little over So billion from the
Truman figures and about $500

State Department or in other
