PAGE FOUR OLEAN TIMES-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1942 Major Finance Bills For State ALBANY Governor Lehman today studied legislative budget appropriations of $376.000.000 for the coming fiscal year, providing: for a twenty-five per cent cut in income taxes and restoration of full state aid to education. The remainder of the Republican majority's $375.000.000 financial plan for 1942-43--a bill to provide SI.000.000 for pay increases to state employes---lay in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. This addition will be approved and sent to Lehman shortly. The major appropriation and taxation bills went to the Governor after speedy passage through the legislature. Both parties claimed credit for the tax reduction and accused each other of attempting to make political capital out of the financial pro- EXPECT CRITICISM The Governor gave no indication what course he would take on the alterations to his recommendations.

But Republican leaders were prepared for criticism from the Governor on a further slash of $3.000.000 in the home relief the original amount recommended by Lehman. Of this sum. $1,000,000 is rar-markrd for maintenance expenses of the State Defense Council. The exact sum of the total budget appropriations was left in doubt during passage of the bills in the legislature. Confusion arose from conflicting statements issued by Republican leaders.

Passage of the budget cleared the legislature for consideration of major defense bills and the problem of reapportionment. The status of redistributing proposals remained in doubt. One key Republican leader admitted that the subject posed a difficult task in view of the admitted aim to adjourn about April 1. He confessed that no promise could be given that a reapportionment bill would be reported out. The committee working on changes in congressional and legislative district Hues, however, said that a bill would be ready next week.

Republicans turned their financial plan over to the Governor the admonition that they were still considering elimination of the state tax on real estate. Furthermore, the majority party's Ai.Sn.iul.nn.iii hoped to reach an agreement with Lehman providing 1 for a change in the fiscal year to permit" "'quarterly payment of income taxes permanently beginning- in 1944.

Of this, num- his 68th year, it is not easy for him to change. Few people realize how political is the machinery which ground out the loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

All its officials were trained to be political. When the average applicant, often accompanied by his Congressman, asked for a loan, a regular system was developed for giving him the run-around. Letters were written back and forth for weeks and months. This was studied and deliberate. A definite run-around function was evolved.

Apparently Jesse Jones thought it was his function to lend as little as possible--to discourage everything except gilt-edged loans. And having spent years developing this technique, it is almost impossible for Jesse Jones and his organization, to reverse themselves overnight. That is why. when loans are desperately needed for certain war plants.

Funny Business News Notes Of Bolivar Truck Crash BRADFORD Seven men, in eluding- an Olean resident, es caped injury in an accident in volving- four trucks on the Marshburg- Hill, on Route 59, two miles west of Custer City Tuesday afternoon about two o'clock. The slippery condition of the road on the steep hill was responsible for the crash, State Police who investigated said.

The freight truck then proceeded down the hill a short distance and came to rest against a guard rail fence. Thomas Clark and William Stadler, both of Smethport, who were atop the cinder truck, also escaped injury.

Don't Force Your Child To Learn 1o ReadJsThp Advice Of Expert STATE COLLEGE--Don't force your child to learn to read before he has a certain amount of speak ing- ability, and don't force him to learn to spell or write before he can read. ia the advice given by Dr. Emmett A.

Betts, in charge of the reading clinic at the Pennsylvania State College. According to Dr. Betts. there are five distinct steps in a child's learning- to use the language: (1) He has experiences with facts; (2) he hears speech noises which he relates to those facts; (3) he begins to communicate the facts to others through speech; (4) he learns to read printed symbols- by which he can reconstruct the facts; and (5) he learns to write symbols which convey the facts to others. "When this systematic order is violated by forcing a child to read before he is ready, his learning is handicapped and the teacher is forced to resort to remedial measures." Dr.

Betts said. "Preventing Beading difficulties is always easier than curing them, and they can be prevented if teaching is geared to capacities, abilities, and needs of the individual pupil."
