Spencer Presents Outline.

Spencer Presents Outline.
Commissioner Spencer pre-
Sented a general outline showing
such budget would be balanced,
with some surpluses in all funds,
and he warned:
Services such as fire, police,
civil defense and the stating Of
welfare institutions will either
have to be curtailed or eliminated
If the requested restorations are
not granted"
Such budget. he said, would
include coverage of the now-
legiSlated IL per cent pay raise
for police and firemen, estimated
to cost $2.8 million. Also, he said,
it would earndark 81 million for
urgent supplementals.
His chart, however, showed
there would be left a surplus of
only $1.6 million in the general
fund. and If Congress enacts a
10 per cent pay raise for school
teachers and officers. as recon-
mended by Senate District sub
committee. it would exhaust all
the surplus in this fund.
Based on U. S. Share.
These calculations are based
On final approval of a full $12
million Federal payment. The
House this year approved the
full share and the Senate is ex-
pected to do likewise.
The Senate hearings are be-
ing conducted by Senator Dirk
sen, Republican, of Illinois.
After the opening presenta-
tionS Senator Dirksen went
quickly and in some detail into
the Districts reorganization pro-
gram, raising questions as to its
progress. costs and acceptance.
He noted there had been "a
good deal of controversy" report
ed in newspapers about the re-
shutting and streamlining.
Commissioner Spencer and
Schuyler Lowe, director of the
new Department Of General Ad-
ministration, the chief reorga-
nizer, stoutly defended the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Spencer said that reorga-
nization generally has been we'll

Questions by Senator Dirksen
brought out that there was an
added cost of $365 900 by reason
of reorganization orders, and
wanted to know if there was any
prospect of this being regained
through elimination of duplica-
tions, greater efficiency and
economies.
II would say there very def.
nitely ls." Mr.. Spencer replied.
I'VE anticipate definite econo-
miles," he continued. Some will

He added that not all of the
extra cost of 1865 900 was an ad-
ditional burden since the House
had reduced requested appropri-
ations for various old-line de-
partmentS.
Senator Dirksen brought out
that reorganization had added

half the restorations now sought

Mother, 3 Children
Become Catholics:
Father To Follow

PHILADELPHIA-(NC) - When
14-year-old Russell Meade told his
mother he'd like to learn about the
Catholic Church, Mrs. Meade de-
cided il wasn't bad idea. And il
might not be a bad idea for her
self, her husband, and seven other
children, either.
So Mrs. Meade wrote her hus-

his approval. There's clear view
across ST. Dominic's cemetery to
the parish church from the Meade
home here, and one night last
September Mrs. Meade, Russell,
and the oldest daughter. 15-year-
old Mary, went over for their first
talk with Father Arthur T. Hedge.
After that all the Meades-ex-
cept the absent father and the twin
boys, Joseph and Egbert, who are
four-traipsed over to st. Domin-
ic's about twice a week for in
structions.
At the end of Lent they we're
baptized, all but the twins making
their First Communion.
Mrs. Meade says that when her
husband came home on furlough,
he couldn't understand why she
got UP so early to 90 to Mass.
Anything that can get you up at
six o'clock must sure be some
thing" he decided. Now the SER

"The government of the United

denouncing communism as the
sworn enemy of civilized society.
The Holy See has also solemnly
condemned atheistic communism

itual domain that Washington
could seek an ally of inestimable
