Governor Seeks Budget Increases For State
Governor Scott submitted a budget seeking thirty eight million dollars more than the advisory commission's three hundred three million for the next two years. He proposes tightening tax collections and removing exemptions to raise revenue without new taxes, and revamping the moving picture tax schedule. He cites needs for school teacher loads, salary increments for state workers, continued hospital aid, civil defense, and more than a million in recommendations for permanent improvements, with ten million needed to cover rising building costs. He urges balanced funding, no new borrowing, and removal of tax exemptions to fund necessary services.

Aid Policy Would Be First Test
Washington Jan 9 a senate vote on sending U S troops to Europe looms as the first test of President Truman’s program to center free world defenses there. Senator Wherry of Nebraska moves to bar new ground forces to Europe until an overall policy is fixed. The debate centers on whether to defend the nation solely at home or aid Western Europe and others. The president’s address to Congress stressed NATO as central to defense and vowed negotiations with Russia while insisting the U S will fight if needed. Taft argued the president lacks authority without congressional consent. The test vote is expected to be close.
