I osconini Dies at 80
At Home in New York

NEW YORK, Jan. Is (B.-
Arturo Toscanini, a poor Italian
boy who became one of the
worlds foremost orchestra con-
ductors, died in his sleep today.
He was SO.
Death came at $40 am. at his
home in Riverdale, the Bronx.
His son. Walter, said the famous
maestro had suffered a stroke
on New Years Day and had not
fully recovered from it.
Toscanini's brilliant career
spanned 10 years. and won him
practically every honor the
musical world has to offer.
He had already scored great
success before he came to the
United States in 1908. In this
country he swept on to the
heights.
Quit in Disagreement
For seven seasons he con-
Quoted at the renowned Metro
politan Opera in New York
during the era of such never-to-
be forgotten artists as Caruso,
Melba and Scott. But a dis
agreement, never explained,
caused him to quit the Met in
1915. never to return.
He went back to Italy, but in
1921 returned to the United
States with the La Scala Or
chestra and toured the country.
Five years later he began a 10
year association with the New
York Philharmonic Symphony
as director.
Toscanini went into semi-re-
tirement in 1886, but the next
year accepted an offer to direct

other Slgnlf1cant gains, including
doubling the present number of
elementary school supervisors
and an even greater increase in
the testing staff.
The enlarged testing staff in
cludes nine psychologists. They
are expected to help materially
in coping with individual learn
ing problems and improving
pupil achievement.
Some requests of the Board of
Education were turned down, in
Guiding special reading and arith-
metic teachers for secondary
schools, some junior high school
counselors and additional funds
for building maintenance and re-
pair. But the overall cuts were
much less drastic than has been
usual in past years.
212 New Teachers Asked
The most spectacular item in
the $44 million budget is S1,049, :
400 for 2l2 additional elemen-
tary teachers. Most of these will
be used for the purpose of reduc-
ing the city's average elementary
class size from the present IS
pupils to 80 pupils.
School officials long have con-
tended that classes were too
large for adequate instruction.
This has been UNDERSIGNED in
recent months by tests results
showing the city's achievement
averages tagging behind national
standards.
The achievement averages of
Negro children, in particular.
have been shown to be in need of
improvement by tests given since
racial indignation. Negro schools,
under segregation. were especial
ly understaffed.

the 5000 million mark for the
first time. 1t is balanced against
estimated revenues by plans to
use up SOS million in surpluses
from previous years. by requests
for $16.8 million in Federal loans
and by a request for appropria-
ton of the $23 million which
Congress has authorized as an
annual Federal payment to the
Districts General Fund.
Thus, unlike recent budgets,
it poses no immediate need for
new taxes to finance the pro-
posed spending.
Budget officials, however, said
they will not be able to tighten
up their estimates of income
until next April after a look at
first returns from the Districts
newly increased income taxes.
Small Reserve
The 1858 budget allows only
$275, 900 as a reserve for later
contingencies out of total oper-
ating expenses of $l59.3 million.
Also, it foresees a year-end sur
plus of only SIS million, of which
l$1.3 million will be in the ear

fund.
The budget included plans for
hiring 1923 more District en-
ployes at an increased yearly
cost of $3.7 million. OF these,
325 would go to the public school
system as part of the budgets
only major surprise-that the
Commissioners had agreed to re-
duce the city's approved pupil
teacher ratio to one teacher for
each 80 pupils.
In the fourth year of the Dis
trict's 10-year $305 million pub
lie works program, $47.4 million
was requested to finance con-
struction. The Highway Depart
ment was to spend the biggest
Ichunk-$22.2 million. Another
S4.6 million was to come out of
the water fund. and So million
out of the sanitary sewage works
fund. The general fund. which
finances all other spending, was
to cover S18.4 million of new
construction.
Up to $167 Million
! Budget Officer Walter l..
Fowler said this would bring
total spending under the public
works program to $167 million
81 million more than was orig
Elnally planned for the four-year
period.
Nevertheless, he stressed, the
spending has provided less con-
struction than the District origi-
nally expected because of price
increases since 1855.
By and large, the Commits
sioners' budget. as submitted to
Congress by President Eisen-
hover, was the same as that

by their Budget Office last Aug
ust, and on which the Commits
sioners held a public hearing in

surplus could be used to shave
down the national debt.
In other moves to combat in
fiationary pressures, the Presi-
dent put out an order to hold
down on hiring OF new Govern
Iment employees and advised hold
ing back on even "meritorious"
spending programs that are not
urgent.
SIS Billion Increase
His spending estimates vent
up $2.9 billion over the current
fiscal year, however, mainly be-
cause of increased defense costs
and urgent" need IN the
domestic field for such things
as more schools.
Proposing increases of 81 bill
lion for the armed forces, $500
million for the Atomic Energy
Commission and $3.50 million for
foreign economic aid, the Pre-
sident explained:
I'm the face of continuing
threats to world peace, our COL
lective security must be strength
Iened through alert international
policies and a strong defense.
Events in recent months have
dramatized the need for strong
collective security"
Revenue to Rise Also
In submitting his budget for
the 1858 fiscal year starting next
July l, Mr.. Eisenhower also re-
vised his estimates of both re-
ceipts and expenditures for the
current 1857 fiscal year ending
June 80.
His new 1857 estimates are for
receipts of sos billion, up SAB
billion from his forecast of last
January and 1923 million from a
mid-year review last August: and
for expenditures of $3.50 billion.
up SO billion over the last jan
uary forecast but down $I93 mil
lion from the August prediction.
The President now estimates
the June 80, 1857. surplus at SIT
billion. UP $l.3 billion from his
forecast a year ago and down
$l28 million from the August es-
innate.
Sees Prosperity Continuing
The balanced budget for 1858
was based on expectation of in
.creasing general prosperity to
bring into the Treasury steadily
rising revenue from existing
taxes. His $73.6 billion revenue
estimate for the new fiscal year
compares with actual receipts of
$68.l billion for fiscal 1856, which
ended last June 80.
Conceding that actual results
may not bear out his predictions,
Mr.. Eisenhower said: They are
the best estimates We can make
at this time. but, since they
relate to a period six to l8
m onths away, significant
changes may take place before
the fiscal year 1858 is ended"
His budget message asserted
confidently that the prospect for
Americas continued economic
growth is bright" But he en-
phasized that this goal can be
