Other Proposals The Senate group has under study not only the Johnson pro man, said that the youth was subject to recent periods of melancholy and recently complained that "life is a merry-go-round and I can't catch the brass ring."

Departmental requests for operating funds for the new fiscal year are being received by the Budget Division. These indicate that an operating budget in excess of the $77,744,000 appropriated for this year will be necessary. The various departments have spent $63,715,000 during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year. The rate of spending indicates that a surplus will remain at the end of the year to help meet the increase in the budget expected for next year.

Total receipts from all sources during the first 10 months of this year were $63,509,000, about greater than at the same time last year. As of the end of the 10-month period, however, earnings tax collections were substantially the same as last year. The increase in earnings tax collections has been reflected since that time. Companions told a reporter that Holman neither smoked nor drank. Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas Maples, 3534 Juniata, continued to speak well of Holman despite the events that have occurred. "Gary was always respectful to his elders and friendly to the children," Mrs. Maples said. "He must have been desperate over something we don't know about."

Isaacson said that this is the third time in recent weeks that Shepley workers had been denied access to public records by Democratic office holders. He pointed out that the state has a law requiring all records, except those required by law to be kept secret, to be open for inspection all times. Previously, records were denied workers in the office of the recorder of deeds in St. Louis and in the state purchasing agent's office, he said.
