fcl PAGE TWO TUCSON DAILY CITIZEN TUCSON, ARIZONA, FRIDAY EVENING-, MARCH 5, 1943 Income Exceeded By Over $78,500 Gty Revenues Surpass Estimates In Nearly All Departments Today's monthly iinancial report, which was submitted by City Auditor J. T. Manders, increased the dismay of city officials over the passage teixiay by the Arizona legislature of a bill which would prohibit the transfer of unexpended balances from one item of the budget to another. If the governor signs the bill, it was said, the city may find that It is unable to use a large surplus which has accumulated during the present fiscal year. Up until this time, it is shown in the Manders report, only ODG item of revenue has failed to exceed the amount anticipated at the time the budget was adopted.

This, 'which is exceptionally small in i-smpSrison with others, Is golf fees, and 'these showed signs during the past month of incresslng sufficiently to wipe out the clef lei', of $301.95. Net Excess Is Over $78,000 During the first eight' months of the year the city collected 582.6G more in 10 of the 13 revenue 'items than was anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year, as -against the lone "underage''In golf fees. Estimated receipts the eight months were $577,723.46, while those actually collected amounted to $630,009.17. Still leading in increase? were: Water, taxes, fines and penal- 'ties, and miscellaneous, $9,436.60. The next largest increase was shown in license collections, $6,804.25.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, It was explained, the "fiscal experts expected a Jarge drop in license fees by bust This expectation was but other businesses have opened up, mostly in the luxury MacArthur Pledges He Will Yet Rescue Prisoners On Bataan AIJBUQUERQUE, K. 51., Mar. 5. (U.R)--Gen, Douglas MncArthur today promised the citizens of New Mexico whose brothers, and swrrtlirnrts fonght on'Batnnn that "If I lire, I shall return to save them." "I knew them well and loved them greatly," the general said in a letter to the Bataan relief organization which renewed his pledge to return to the Philippines and wrest the Islands away from the Japanese who took them a year ago. More than 2,000 Xeir Mexico national guardsmen fought in the losing Bhtaan campaign and at least 340 have been reported prisoners of the Japanese.

"Never docs a day go by that I do not pray that God will give me strength to redeem those men who still survive," said Gen. letter to Chairman V. H. Spenley of the relief organization. "I can only hope that merciful Providence will give you all divine patience to wait with such may be possible: the unfolding of the bloody drama which is now being enacted in the Pacific.

Of a total of set up in 'the budget for the vear, only now remains to be collected. The water department, which leads in the revenue Increase, also the greatest overage in expenditures, 58,177.30, largely due, it was said, to the increased population demands. The same cause was attributed to overages In the of wastepaper collection and incineration, S3.174.20, and opera-, tion of the sewer farm, S3.6S9.17.

Pointing to the present excess in revenues, Mayor Henry 0. Jaastad said that under present law the -City can transfer funds from those items showing overages to those "Which have run behind budget estimates. Under terms of the bill passed yesterday, howevjr, such transfers would be prohibited.

Affected by the revised policy are undergraduate, and graduate students in scientific and specialized fields, undergraduate, preprofession- al students, and students in professional schools, internes, and students of agriculture, forestry, pharmacy, and optometry. One of the major changes provides that any student in undergraduate work in approximately 20 scientific and specialized fields 'should' be i for occupational classification" if he is a full-time student in good stand- ng in a recognized collegia or university and if it is certified by the institution that is: Competent and promise of successful completion of his courses of study, and will be graduated by July 1, 1945. The new ruling announced by the selective service comes too late to do any good as far as agricultural students at the University of Arizona are concerned, Dr. Paul S.

Burpes, dean of the college of agriculture at the university, stated ttiday. Burgess pointed out that while the ruling now provides that the tetter students may remain at their study, previous specifications have taken all those better students to the armed services. There were 250 students in the Bad Judgment Indicated, For He Must Pay For Repairs, $60 Fine, And Do Time Kobert Soto, 22, 619 South Meyer street, is going to spend the next 30 days in the city jail and in addition will pay a fine of $60, to gether with whatever It costs to repair a police car, Magistrate Paul J. Cella ruled in police court this morning when Soto entered a plea of guilty to reckless driving and destroying city property. The charge, police assert, grew out of a ccLUsion between Soto and Patrolman Theron Altenberger early yesterday.

Wrecks Police Car Altenberger reported he was driving out East Broadway about 2:20 a. m. yesterday when he noticed an Army light truck approaching from the 'Opposite direction, and on the wrong side of the street. Altetfoerger made every attempt to get out of the way, he said, drawing clear to the curb on his side of the street. Little good It did, Altenberger said, since the Army truck smashed into him, crushing a front fender, damaging his police radio, breaking headlights, and springing the front wheels of the car out of line.

when he knew the crash could not be avoided, covered his face his arms and ducked down into the front seat of the car. The Army truck, driven by Soto, hit the police car hard, Altenberger reported, and for a moment or two after the crackup he was dazed. Then he got out of the car, pried the fender up from the street so that It would clear and took out after Soto. His radio had been put oufof commission, Altenberger said, but eventually he got it working and called the station. Flees Prom Scene Meanwhile, the Army truck POLICE COURT Paul J.

Altenberger kept Soto in view for several blocks but lost him when Soto turned off Broadway into Highland avenue. Meanwhile police sent out a general alarm to pick up the Army truck driver. A half hour later military police spotted the truck on South Meyer and notified police.

Then began-the search for Soto, who was rounded up at 140 West Broadway, and as police put it, had "passed out." Soto was arrested and taken to the station and this morning faced the police court on the twin charges.

5. --The office of war informatfon, which claims the exclusive right to release government information pertaining to the wartime food program, has started an investigation to determine how newspapermen obtain information from sources.

said the dean, This past fall there were 193 students enrolled in the college, and largely through service withdrawals this number decreased to 111 by the beginning of the current semester. And now, with the coming of the selective service order to defer agricultural students along with those in other specialized and scientific fields, only about SO students remain in the college of agriculture here, most of them the younger and poorer students. The new directive, entirely too late now to be of any help whatsoever, would have been at least of some value a few months ago, Burgess explained. For at that time an, announcement of this sort could have kept many students in school who did not come back for the second semester, and the tremendous drop from 193 at the beginning of this schocl year to SO. now could have been avoided.

The OWI has protested to the department and has caused of. ficials of the latter Agency to make an effort to determine the names of the officials who supplied the reporter with the'data.
