THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES; CHATTANOOGA, SUNDAY, JANUARY 27. 1952. 14 At the City Hall Washington Report Budget Is Remarkable Document Even Provides Money to Feed Animals in Quarantine BY CHARLES BAKTLETT Timet Washington Bureau. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 Few of the taxpayers who make it possible realize what a remarkable document the United States budget really is.

It is not outstanding simply because it weighs five pounds or because it has 1,200 pages or because it involves The Night Beat Circuit Writer SILENT SUFFERER ABSORBS CULTURE Enjoys Ballet, however, in Speculation on Equations Involving Roy Acuff BY MOUZON PETERS Along with a few hundred other individuals who have been happy despite their ignorance of many of the finer things of life, the writer mingled with the thousand a few night a ago while receiving a generous serving of culture as dispensed by the Ballet Theater, the most recent of the attractions presented by the Community Concerts Associat.on. An effort to indicate possession of a sophisticated sense for the enlightenment of the fourth grade (Sunnyaide School) daughter had a reaction, however, in her favor. After witnessing the performance of the evening, she was asked to solve this problem in proportion: "The ballet is to the dance as Brahms Is to X. What is Unhesitatingly, she replied, Tioy Acuff," indicating a mat iral --or was it musical -mind far beyond the fourth grade textbooks. Acuff Equation Of course, her solution would offer some interesting combinations if applied on the accepted theory that in such a problem an equation Is created between the multiple of the extremes and the multiple of the mean3.

This would give the dance times Brahms in an equality with the ballet times by Roy Acuff. Dispensing wilh the former multiple, we can turn to the latter and comment, that the Roy Acuff-ballct combination might conjure up many a mental image, some political, some comforting and some otherwise, depending on the affiliations and background of the person involved. Illustrating this was the arch whisper a near-by sufferer whose slicked-up appearance could not hide the fact that he was one of those salt-of-the-earth individuals from the farm who writhed in his chair, turned his tormented face to his wife and said: "I don't mind watching the girls up there trip around in their nightgowns, but it's embarrassing to see those fellows dancing in their long-handled underwear!" was hwe'd'Vouhs mam lOF the wmKu7 "YTlf I 14 iy a City LAW TO kf ly U' WILL TUE COONStflN CAP REPLACE EGpCTlOU OF TV.

23 Gov. Browning is busy getting things in order for another gubernatorial campaign. It will be the governor's sixth race for the office he now holds, if you include the 1916 primary in which his name was on the ballot while he was on army duty in Ger- $85,400,000,000. It has a number off other unique characteristics of which not the least is the extreme versatility of Federal spending. One finds, for example, in the index to this huge book this notation: "Constitution of the United States, revision of Now this is quite alarming to the constitution alist who is prone to take the po sition that no matter how much money we spend or how many taxes we collect, we should not make revision of the Constitution so simple a matter that it can be accomplished by mere fiat of the budget bureau.

However, the alarm fades on turning to the page in the budget on which this item appears, for there one learns that the sum of $126 is being spent by the Library of Congress, not to revise the Constitution, but simply to prepare an annotated edition of it. Gold Down the Drain One may shed a tear in learning on Page 956 that in the course of melting and refining the gold that is purchased by the U.S. Treasury an amount equal to $1,200 is lost annually. And sportsmen doubtless will be delighted to know that last year a total of $130,000 was spent by an organization which calls itself the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, most of this goes for the maintenance of rifle ranges and the instruction of citizens in markmanship, under the terms of a law passed in 1916. To show even more graphically what a big and varied book the budget is, one must realize that it carries provisions for 56 kinds of construction, 22 different Govern ment corporations, 14 kinds of re lief, eight varieties of land acquisi tion.

and 15 different brands of Government insurance. There is even a provision of 741 to provide feed for animal3 which are being held in quarantine. For all its variety the budget is not an interesting document to read and for all of the preciseness of its figures it is not at all clear in many places. The telegraphic brevity of its language leaves one wondering in almost every instance what it is the money is to be spent for. Some 50 representatives and 20 senators will labor through most of the next six months to penetrate this dullness and obscurity.

Although they will be assisted by a small professional staff," it is small wonder that when their studies are over and they have recommended approval of the bill by, their colleagues on either side of the Capitol, they will have little real idea of the validity of the appropriations they are making. Old Guard Not Enthused For some strange reason leaders of both the House and Senate committees have rejected the very logical proposition that they appropriate enough money to form an investigative staff for the appropriations committees. It is reasoned that witn a weu-trainea corps of investigators, men who could penetrate the executive branches through the year and really see how the money is being spent, a huge amount of money could be saved annually. But the idea has not bestirred any enthusiasm among the old guard. One reform was initiated by Sen.

K. D. McKellar, chairman of the Senate committee, this week. For the past several years, ever since the budget started getting really big, the Senate committee has so dragged its feet that for the first quarter of every fiscal year all the agencies and departments of the Government have had only continuing resolutions extended on and on past the July 1 deadline as many. He ran first lor governor.

MONTGOMERY, Jan.

26 Adm. John Crommelin, who was an unsuccessful independent candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1950, has suggested that a third party for "real Alabama Democrats be set up if the state Democratic execu-tee committee closes the party primary. Quoting state law that says a party can be any group that polled at least 20 per cent or the total vote in the last general election, Crommelin said his vote represented that group and could be used as the basis for the third party. Blasting the "Truman crowd," the retired admiral, who was pigeonholed by the navy after his persisteYit criticism of national defense policies, said he might run as an elector under the third party label.

Crommelin made his suggestion in a letter to the executive com- mittee. In the letter he called Alabama's as a candidate, Browning returned ct to the United States and ately began making public speech-1 es every opportunity.

That committee played Its part in the drive which culminated in the city schools receiving $403,000 more from the city and county than last year. Nothing more wa3 heard about the committee, or its executive arm, the steering committee. It is after such an accomplishment that enthusiasm usually wanes enough to kill the organization. But it develops that time and thought have been put into a sound organizing plan and program for this particular citizens committee.

And if one of its current plans that of a widespread public opinion poll on the schools of the city and county should materialize the committee will have ren dered the community a signal service. Step by Step "What," members of the steering committee asked each other months ago as the organization began to take form, "do the citi zens of Chattanooga want in meir schools? What exactly do they want the schools to do for their children?" The members realized that they didn't know. They also realized that they knew nothing of the science of questionnaires and tak-ing'public opinion polls. In the months of silence they have been studying both the form their organization should take borrowing liberally from the experiences in other cities and a means of obtaining a true picture of what citizens are thinking about the schools. First they worked up a questionnaire which they could tentatively agree upon.

They sent it to an advisory committee composed of 21 persons. From the advisory group's comments they revised the questionnaire. Now they will send it to the 200 members of the citizens committee. From the suggestions of that committee it will be revised again. And, if the present plans go through, the final draft will be sent to possibly 25,000 persons in the community.

The questionnaire "will poll public opinion on the schools of Chattanooga, give some information about the schools and in some measure give those questioned a chance to say what they would like to see in their schools." The response of 25,000 persons to a questionnaire should give school authorities, governmental authorities and the laymen an interesting guide to. what, the citizens want in grammar and high school education here. It also should tell how much thought citizens have given to the schools and furnish clues to blind of the schools and their activities. Some members of the school board and Supt. Lawrence Der-thick of the city schools believe that an informed citizenry is the best guarantee of a 'continually improving government and school system.

"if the citizens committee does follow through, it will contribute toward that informed citizenry. One to Go If Sen. Kefauver should win the Democratic nomination and if he should be elected President of the United States, the City Commission is sure to lose one of its members. Because George Mclnturff would go to Washington as a member of kefauver's staff in some capacity. Mclnturff didn't help start the Kefauver boom for the long-odds chance of getting a Washington job.

As he emphasized during his campaign last year, he genuinely likes the job he has. But you don't get the opportunity to be a member of the staff of the President of the United States every day.

Lister Hill in the general knowledge these were anti-C i speeches, and they enabled him to keep before the public while warming up for the 1948 campaign.

In 1948, Browning swept to a comparatively easy victory over Gov. Jim McCord of Lewisburg. It was a year in which the people were tired of Shelby County Boss E. H. Crump's influence in state government and wanted a change.

Two years ago, when Browning ran for the fifth time, his opposition was State Sen. Clifford Allen a Nashville restaurant operator. Although he defeated Allen by nearly 60,000 votes, it was a tough campaign. Before it was over, the governor and his friends were seriously worried and Browning, for the first time in his long and vigorous political career, was beginning to talk and act like an extremely weary man. v.

Some addicts. resist arrest and their belligerence leads to a rous ing battle with the cops. Others go along quietly to be booked on a drunkenness charge when there isn't the faintest odor of alcohol, about them. But both kinds are hopped up. The addict who needs a shot when he leaves the jail has the same symptoms as those displayed by a man with a terrific hangover from drink.

There is the muscular twitching, the nervousness and the taut, strained look. Officers think many of the fights they've gone through were with men who "burned" heroin. There is nothing more dangerous in human life than an addict hopped up to the point where ha becomes a killer. With a gun in his hand, he can be stopped only by bullets. Policemen who've had to face the alternative of kill or be killed always wonder If they've had a brush with such a creature.

'Goof Balls' The customary shakedown of prisoners at the jail has disclosed an increasing number of people who use "goof balla" and "yellow-jackets." These milder forms of narcotics produce sustained jags for some. A pocketful were taken last week from a Chattanoogan, known for years as an alcoholic, but not as a drug user. Even after six hours in the tank, he was unsteady on his feet and his speech, and mannerisms were just not quite right. A taxi driver was recently sent in as a suspected drunken driver. He acted just as a drunk does, but the drunkometer said no.

He was given three tests before police decided he was hopped up. A known addict, a jnan who'd been taking drugs for years, was sliced up a little In a downtown knife fight a year or so ago. He was typed "D.A." immediately upon arrival in the hospital. He lost no time in asking for a shot and said he was a "mainliner," an addict who injects drugs directly into a vein through the use of a hypodermic needle. Haunt Hospitals Hospitals see many addicts.

They go there in search of drugs. The usual complaint is, "I have a split ting headache." Pretending they live away from Chattanooga, they say a home-town doctor has been treating them with a certain drug. They identify the drug and the dosage. Nurses and doctors can spot addicts immediately. The average addict gets his start by smoking marijuana cigarettes.

Peddlers give away samples in order to hook customers, among them school children. Once the smoker is addicted, he is made to pay for the cigarettes. The next step is drugs. Once again, there are free sam ples. "Here, try this for a real jolt," says the peddler.

After a quick investigation he said bureau experts had discovered the mistake and tax offices across the country have been informed so they can explain things to puzzled partners who can't find Column 10.
