Civil Defense Funds Raise Questions Over Mayor's Spending Power

Canton officials debated whether Mayor Thomas H. Nichols could unilaterally spend the $10 000 civil defense allocation for 1951. Fire Chief Maloney and Police Chief Quilligan sought 500 each for recruiting auxiliary members, while council warned the amount might be insufficient. CaChat cited Wooster's higher appropriation and noted possible needs such as boots, coats, stationery, and hose adapters, with agency heads asserting no definite plan existed. The mayor and auditor reportedly said the mayor could spend the money, but the solicitor could not confirm a statute requiring council approval.

Byrd Proposes $7 Billion Budget Slash and Tax Hike

Senator Byrd urged Congress to cut $7 billion from President Truman’s budget and raise taxes by $9.5 billion instead of the $16.5 billion proposed. He said the plan would not harm defense and would yield a balanced budget well below the President’s $71.594 billion request amid sharp GOP and southern Democrat opposition to Fair Deal spending.
