Approximately 25,000 additional civilians --who emerged from hiding places when the American forces moved in, have been returned to villages and farms under supervision of the military government. General Crist was sent overseas with the American military mission to Moscow and recently transferred to the Pacific area.

Democrats Flay Budget Figures Senate amendments have "wrecked and mangled" the House approved teachers' salary bill "al most beyond recognition," the State Democratic Committee charged to day, reiterating its contention that the budget office was' "concealing" $50,000,000 from the Legislature, Hiram G.

Andrews, House min ority leader, pointed out that the administration found funds to increase aid to schools $24,000,000 over its original estimate. "At the beginning of the ses sion the budget office, as it now itself admits, was concealing at least $24,000,000 from the Legislature," he said. "The minority party contends that there is still $50,000,000 which the administra tion's budget office isn't telling the General Assembly anything about." With adjournment slated for next week, Democrats declared the 1945 General Assembly was "more concerned about legislation affecting banks, insurance companies corporation laws and strengthening departmental control over expenditures than it was in legislation designed to benefit the people." McKeesport Asks Arrest Of Juvenile Delinquents International News Service MCKEESPORT, April 28. Tube city police today took steps to end wave of juvenile delinquency which they claim in the last month has resulted in the looting of 50 cars. With a report of eight more automobile ransackings yesterday, McKeesport Police Chief Guy Rod-key stated that he had detailed a special plain clothes squad "to bring in the violators" and had ordered strict enforcement of an ordinance which imposes a 10 p.

m. curfew on all persons under the age of 18. Similar action against juvenile gangs who have caused "widespread damage to public and private property" has been called for by Clairton's Mayor John J.

3, was driving a car that crashed into a truck operated by Turns after she drove through the "stop" sign. She was reauired to nost a forfeit Krug Prepared In Reconversion By United Press WASHINGTON, April 28. The "Spot Authorization" plan, stepchild of the War Production Board since its birth last August, came into its own today as the agency's chief mechanism for cushioning the initial shock of the switch from a total war economy to a peacetime level of civilian output. It will be used during the next few months to help individual factories get back into peacetime pro duction when their war contracts are suddenly canceled or when they run out. Restoration of the "Spot" reconversion machinery was announced last night by WPB Chairman J.

A. Krug. Center of hitter controversy among the Nation's top leaders, the plan was virtually shelved by military edict last December when the Allied armies gave way under the German counter-offensive. The Army unsuccessfully tried to block the "Spot" procedure for months before it was announced. Born in strife, it was almost immediately orphaned when Donald M.

Nelson, father of the plan, left the WPB chairmanship for his present job as White House adviser. Nelson's successor, J. A. Krug, was lukewarm toward it and gradually gave way under continued Army pressure until the adverse military situation last December forced it into virtual disuse. Restoration of the plan by Krug does not in itself mean an immediate increase in the output of consumer goods.

It merely means that a smoothly-operating mechanism for making the change-over is now available for use as the manpower, facilities and material are released from war work. Under this procedure, a manufacturer may apply to the local WPB regional chief for authorization to make specific non-war goods. If the WPB official decides it will not interfere in any way with the output of munitions in the applicant's plant or in other factories in that area, the permission is granted. Despite its low-gear operation last Fall, more than $700,000,000 worth of civilian goods output was authorized under the plan but only about 30 per cent, of this amount was ever realized. Since December, group 1 and group 2 critical labor areas were off-limits for authorizations under the plan, but the new policy puts all areas on the same footing.

The "Spot" plan will play a slightly different role than was originally planned for it. It was originally designed to fill in the chinks ofr war production with piecemeal civilian output. Now, with V-E Day close at hand, it will take on the bigger job of deter mining the more essential civilian projects when the end of the European war forces large cutbacks in munitions and frees whole plants from war work. In another action, WPB canceled scheduled cutbacks in the production of farm machinery after protests from the War Food As a result, farm equipment will continue to be produced at the same rate as was authorized during the first three months of this year. Torgau Has Place In History Pages Internatioal WtM Service WASHINGTON, April 28.

Torgau, the little German town on the river Elbe where the American and Russian armies made their momentous juncture, dates back in history nearly 1000 years. It was founded about 973, and twice in its 10 centuries of existence, the river and road hub has served as the meeting place for Russian armies driving from the east for a linkup with their western allies. The first time occurred nearly two centuries ago, in 1761, when the Russians met the Austrians at Torgau during the seven years war, during their common fight against Frederick the Great of Prussia. The second, and most historic, came last Wednes day when the Russian and American armies met in force to complete the task of slicing Germany in half. With a normal population of slightly more than 14,000 Torgau has changed hands several times in its long history.

The Swedes took it in 1645, and the French four centuries later in 1813. It was important in its early days as a convenient crossing place for the River Elbe and a hub for barge traffic. Torgau also figured in religious history, for it was in this place that Martin Luther and his associates met in 1530 to draw up the articles which eventually formed the basis for the confession of Augsburg. The Palace Church, dedicated by Luther in 1544, is supposed to have been the first Protestant Church. TemporaryHousing Units May Be Shipped Abroad By United Press WASHINGTON, April 28.

The National Housing Agency said today that many of the Nation's temporary war housing units are to be shipped abroad for emer gency use by the United Nations when they became surplus. NHA, in outlining disposal plans, also revealed that present occupants and war veterans would have first consideration in the sale of publicly financed permanent fara ily dwellings. Salvage in Peace By United Press LONDON, April 28. Rep Carter Manasco, said to day that the United States prob ably would abandon thousands of four-engined bombers in England after the war. Manasco, who is investigating the disposal of surplus war prop erty in the European theater, said the cost of flyinj home the "out moded ships would be more than we could realize frpm the sale of the planes." "We have been led to believe we would get one hundred billion dollars back out of planes and guns and tanks and other war equipment," he said.

"But after nvestigation of the situation here and on the continent I believe 10 or 15 billion would be the best we can do." Manasco said there was no feas ible commercial use for either big bombers or fighters, adding, you could give a four-motor bomber to a commercial airline and they couldn't afford to op erate it. He cited one case in which a Liberator bomber was flown back to the United States and disassembled when it was no longer fit for combat use and sold by the Government for $2400. "It took 800 man hours to dis assemble it at $1.50 per man hour. There's $1200. And it took 3000 gallons of high test gas to fly it back.

If that costs only 25 cents per gallon that would be another $750. "Other expenses would make the entire deal a losing proposition. It would be cheaper to leave them here, and I think that is what they will do." J. W. Kline Recuperating From Auto Crash Injuries J.

W. Kline, chairman of the local ration board, was reported recuperating today at his home, 20 Taylor boulevard, from multiple injuries received late Wednesday night in an automobile accident below Lancaster. Kline had been in Philadelphia thj early part of the week for a physical checkup at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital and was being brought home by automobile when the machine crashed with a standing trailer, used by a caravan of gyp sies. Three bones of Kline's left foot and one in his right, were broken, and he suffered severe chest con tusions. His eye glasses were found unbroken about 20 feet ahead of the car although the windshield was unbroken, and a watch charm belonging to him was found on the radiator of the automobile.

Th driver of the car, a Hershey man, escaped with minor hurts. The car was badly damaged. Kline has recovered sufficiently to handle some ration board mat ters from his bedroom. Memorial toF.D.R.Asked By State Labor Council AFL President William Green today had a request from the Penn sylvania Federation of Labor that he initiate a Nation-wide campaign for funds to erect "a suitable labor memorial" to the late Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The federation's executive council, closing a four-day meeting late yesterday, also sought guaranteed annual income for workers in "seasonal" industries. Member unions wereurged to include income security provisions in future collective bargaining contracts. Philadelphia was selected as the site for the 1946 convention. The federation also indorsed proposals that the city be made ihe permanent home for the United Nations' council. County's Share of City Office Maintenance Up As result of increases granted to city employes by City Council recently, Dauphin Couiity will have to pay about $40 a month more in the county's share of the cost of maintaining the office of the City Treasurer, who collects current county tax.

British troops, pressing forward into Adolf Hitler's North Sei fortress, prepared today for an all-out assault on Hamburg, Germany's lar gest port and greatest northern. bastion.

Advanced elements east of Hamburg reached points only 35 miles from the great Baltic port of Luebeck, one of the first Ger man towns to suffer the fury of major Royal Air Forces assault earlier in the war, according to front dispatches. A sweeping advance across Schleswig-Holstein to Luebeck would cut off the German garrison of Denmark and neutralize Germany's big naval base at Kiel. It would bring Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's troops to within 135 miles of Marshal Konstantin Rokos-sovsky's Red Army columns pressing over the desolate Prussian plain from Stettin. Rokossovsky thus may soon make the first Red Army link with the British at Wittenberge, less than 80 miles from his advanced columns.

Japs Paye Way For Peace Try International A'ctrs Service WASHINGTON, April 28. Inspired by fear of the catastrophe which will fall on Japan if Russia enters the Far Eastern war, the army opposition and the Suzuki ministry are now seeking to achieve a peace, the Army and Navy journal declared today. Tracing past events, including evidences of solidarity among the Big Four, the naming of Soviet Foreign Commissar V. Molotov as delegate to the San Francisco Conference and his flight by plane via Siberia and Alaska, the journal remarked that these impressed the Japanese severely. It noted that from Siberian bases, the blockade of the Jap homeland can be made airtight and added: "To gain peace now before the infliction of this great terror which Russian entrance into the war would mean, has become the ob jective of the Army opposition around the throne and the Suzuki ministry, provided it can be achieved without internal convul sion.

"It is to prevent the latter, to prepare the people for the hard peace they must accept, that all of the recent Japanese publicity has been directed toward informing them on the losses they have suf fered and the greatness of the power that is being concentrated against the country."
