President Signs
Bill to Tighten
Fund Controls
BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower yester-
day signed a budget reform bill
aimed at tightening up controls
over the spending of huge Fed
eral appropriations.
Under the new system. the
President would include in his
money requests to Congress a
proposed limit on the amount
Of individual items to be spent
in any one year. Congress in
turn could place a yearly
spending ceiling in its appro-
priations bills.
The measure was proposed
by the Government Reorgani-
cation Commission headed by
former President Herber
Hoover.
Supporters claimed untold
savings could result.
Critics on the House Appro-
priations Committee denounced
the bill as a window dressing
plan which they said would
weaken Congress control.
Under the present system
Congress appropriates lum r
sum amounts for many items
which may not be finally paid
for years.
An aircraft carrier, for in
stance, takes years to build and
the money is doled out as
needed.
The reform advocates say
this process piles up a tremen-
dous backlog of appropriated
but unSpent funds which tend
to become unmanagable. Some
times, they say, money winds
up being used for purposes
other than those for which it
was originally voted.

Four Girls Injured

A partition wall in the girls
shower room collapsed today
at about Ills, injuring four
girls, one Of them seriously.
They are Ethel Jackson, Agnes
Buntin, Rose Foy and Idona
Henry. AL four were taken to
the Hospital and treated but
Miss Jackson was detained,
with a deep cut on her right
foot near her ankle, which
took ten stitches, and a broken
bone.
Miss Jackson had just left
the shower and as she moved
across the partition, which is
to act as a blind, another girl
apparently bumped into the
partition which stands eight
feet high, and built Of glazed
bricks, fell on her, pinning her
to the floor. Other students
quickly removed the bricks
and lifted her out.
School officials were notified
and rushed to the scene. They
include Mrs. Pearl B. Larsen,
Albert Fabio and Frederick
Dixon, who happens to be in
st. Croix. Lieutenant Clifford
Plaskett and Sergeant Davis,
who were in the Hospi-
tai when the injured girls
were taken there immedi-
ately went over to investigate.
Examination showed that all
similar partitions in the same
loom and also in the boys sec
ton are wobbly, and indica-
tions are that they could be
pushed down by any person
with little difficulty. The par
titions had no reinforcements
in them.
Public Works officials placed
workmen on the job to take
down all the partitions and re-

In early January it was de-

should be taken to secure adj

Thomas. The Department of
Navy was contacted and they
advised that they had avail

mounted on a railroad car. The
700 XIV units could not be
considered because of voltage

1000 XIV unit was too large
to be handled by commercial
shipping and would require a
naval craft for transportation.
However, because of the high
