involved to be unlawful.
1t further found that establish
ment of the 200, 900 grave ceme-

violation of a section of the Re-

for Mrs. Harrington on that
ground.
This decision apparently indi-
Gates that at the time of filing
the injunction in Geauga Com
mon Pleas Court, Chardon
Township did not have a legal
zoning resolution.
The section of law referred to
by the court says that a ceme-
terry cannot be located within
100 yards of dwelling unless
the owner gives his consent.
A spokesman for the Catholic
Cemeteries Assn. says he sees
in the ruling no bar to proceed

cemetery, provided it does not
come within 100 yards of the
Harrington house. He said the
township apparently has no zon-

Mrs. Harrington first filed her
INDUCTION petition in Common
Pleas Court.
On several grounds Judge Har-
old Richmond dismissed the
case from his court. The case
then was taken to the Court of
Appeals, which ordered a new
trial to be held in that court.
The court forwarded is rul-

Philips authorizing hom to en-

pared by the Wage Councils

compared to the expected vii
lage revenue of $78,57841 this

of 1915 in this year and to

garages, and modification of
curbing restrictions in business
areas.
The provisions respecting
dwelling area are, obsiously the
most important, stated Mr. Fink
The proposal is made after a
survey which clearly shows that
the great majority of dwellings
built since the Resolution was
passed in 1948 are in excess
of the newly proposed minimum.
All interested parties are in
vited to attend and state their
views.

Sponsored Benson
The Senator's recommended.
tons for cabinet appointments
after the election were politely
received but only one name or
his list eventually turned up in
the cabinet. That was Secretary
of Agriculture Benson.
Martin Durkin's appointment
as Secretary of Labor made
Senator Taft downright unhappy
though he voted to confirm the
nomination and came to deal
with him on a first-name basis
In the end. his apprehension over
the appointment proved well
founded, for Mr.. Durkin resigned
after eight months because the

mower for his part was deter
mined to get along with Senator
Taft and to make the Senator
his friend and collaboration.
The Senator's one explosion
with the President was on April
30, 1858. at a White House con-
ference called for presentation
of budget estimates and the
Presidents new military policy
The sedate discussion revealed
that although the administra-
ton was making beginning, at
least, toward reducing the Tru-
man budget estimates, heavy
military spending would con-
tinue, more deficits lay ahead
and the first Republican budget
would be out of balance.
Bangs Fist on Table
Suddenly the discussion was
rent by Senator Taft's hard,
metallic voice. Fairly shouting
and banging his fist on the table,
he said that all the efforts of
the Eisenhower administration
to date had merely produced
the net result of continued
spending on the same scale as
the Truman administration.
The President was taken aback
as the aroused Senator went on,
detailing his objections and pre-
dieting direfully that the first
Eisenhower budget would drive
a wedge between the administra-
ton and economy minded Re-
publicans in Congress and drag
the party to defeat in 1854, and
possibly in 1885,,
THE one primary thing we
promised the American people, T"
he said, was reduction of ex-
penditures. Now you are taking
us right down the same road
Truman travelled. It's a repudi-
alton of everything we promised
in the campaign"
Dead Silence in Room
For a moment dead silence
filled the tense cabinet room
when Senator Taft finished. The
President was stung by the SEN
ator's words. He bent forward,
but before he could speak a ner-
vous voice sounded somewhere
around the table and soon others
Joined the conversation as if to
break the tension and give the
President a chance to cool off.
Then when the President
began his reply. he spoke in a
low. dispassionate voice. There
we're. he told Senator Taft, GER
tain essential elements in the

II. 5. Defense
To S35.1 Billion

Military spending this fiscal
year will total $751; billion-an
increase of $500 million over
original estimates.
Defense Secretary Wilson, dis
closing the larger figure at a
news conference yesterday, said
that much of the additional
money would be spent on B-52
bomber production.
Mr.. Wilson also said the Air
Force plans to increase the size
of its B-52 heavy bomber wings
from 80 to As planes. A recent
production speed-up order. he
said, will mean more planes
quicker.
Mr.. Wilson refused to say
whether he agrees with Gen.

Commander, that Russia will be
ahead of this country in long
range air striking power in the
1958-60 period.
From the best information I
have, they are currently build
ing at a higher rate than we
are" he said. But he then went
on to explain that comparison
of such rates could be mislead-
ing.

gressional testimony, Mr.. Wilson
described him as dedicated
specialist" He said, without
criticizing Gen. LeMay, that it
