Police Record Probe Requested
City Attorney Charles Tennuga was asked to investigate an apparent attempt by a police department member to falsify public records at the police station to suppress a defendant’s name in news reports.

Predicted Federal Revenue Rise Shaping Budget Plan
Congressional tax experts told the Senate House budget committee that next fiscal year revenues could reach 37.928 billion dollars, about 200 million more than President Truman estimated, aiding the push to balance the budget and reduce the national debt.

Stim, head of the Congress tax staff, gave the 37.978 billion figure for the year beginning July 1. The committee reviews Mr. Truman's budget message and the 37.6 billion spending ceiling.
