'Things' Get Plenty Transportation In Budget That Has Costly Chuckles
B BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington. (UF)—President Truman handed to congress today the biggest (six and one quarter pounds), most expensive ($5 a copy) budget in the memory of the oldest lawmaker.
Interesting, too. There are costly chuckles and expensive dramatics on nearly every one of its 1,563 pages; let's hold tightly to our wallets and examine a few entries, such as the one involving the admirals brushing the seaweed off the crystal ball:
They peered far into the future and foresaw in fiscal '48 warships crashing into freighters, piers and each other, causing exactly $59,598-000 worth of damage. They also asked for $396,000 to wash the shirts of midshipmen at Annapolis.
The senate put down four thousand and dollars for an automobile for the non-existent vice-president and then insulted him, if ghosts can be insulted, by appropriating $6,500 each for the motor cars of its Republican and Democratic leaders. Capitol hill tree surgery will cost $2,500 and new clocks for the congressional library, $2,250.
President Truman gets $100,000 to spend on objects of a confidential nature and $3—that's three simoleons and not a misprint—for the transportation of things. That is a break for the taxpayers; moving them around at the White House the year before cost $8.
Things and their transportation with never a further clue, litter the budget. The atomic energy commission, for instance, needs $9,.725,000 to transport —br-r-r-r— things. Must be big things.
Secretary of Interior Cap Krug wants $1,534,000 to propagate fish,
$902,000 to investigate fish, and $401,-000 to compile fishy statistics. For whales he needs $22,400 and for skinning foxes on the Pribilof islands,
$150,000.
The governor of Alaska will make his old limestone do another year. But the governor of the Virgin islands needs two new ones at two thousand dollars each. It'll cost us a thousand dollars to fulfill our treatment of the Sierra Indians and $150,000 to keep the Sioux out of their war bonnets.
The fellows who name mountains, ponds, and creeks, known formally as the interior department's division of geography, intend to spend $90,000 naming (they've got me doing it, too) things. The bureau of standards wants to build underground a $415,-000 betatron.
Investigation of sheep and goats will cost the agriculture department $172,541, but it has quit trying to grow rubber on the desert and isn't asking for a penny to continue its guayu planting.
There are 27 pages of appropriations for Indians, including Eskimos; $1,500 for the maritime commission to use for entertaining foreign dignitaries, and the obituary (a full generation late) of the U.S. spruce corp. This was established in 1918 to get the wood for World War I airplanes and has been in business ever since.
The department of state wants to hire a launch for the ambassador to Turkey and to maintain jails for American convicts in Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Muscat. It also intends to hire a few dragonets.
Habein, Calderwood's Father Dies
Henry Habein, father of Mrs Natalie Calderwood and Miss Margaret Habein, died early Tuesday morning at his home in Waseca, Minn. Funeral services were held yesterday at Waseca.
Mrs. Calderwood, English instructor, had remained with her father after the Christmas holidays, since Mr. Habein had been in failing health for several months.
Miss Habein, dean of women, returned to the University after the holidays but was called back to Waseca early this week when her father's condition became critical.
For the first time in 75 years, there were no bank failures in 1945 in the United States.
'Face Alcoholism Squarely In Eye'
Harrisburg. Pa. (UP) — Twelve thousand alcoholies die annually in the United States, according to Mrs. Marty Mann's report to the Pennsylvania federation of women's clubs.
That figure would be considerably less, the executive committee on alcoholism said, if each community would look the issue squarely in the eye and treat an alcoholic "the same way that any other sick person is treated."
Alcoholics are not hopeless, said Mrs. Mann, who identified herself to audiences as a former drink addict and first woman member of Alcoholies Anonymous.
"They can get well and ignore the bottle with a little knowledge, cooperation and good will."
"We have gone to such lengths to hide alcoholics," she said, "that they have died like flies. We must overcome the stigma of sin that has been fastened upon the alcoholic."
Mabel Ann Richardson, education junior, represented K.U. at an international student planning conference of the Christian church at Merom, Ind., Dec. 28 to Jan. 2. Fifty-three students and 11 adult leaders from various states and Canada attended. A national program for Christian students was set up. The K.U. group works through the Kansas Bible chair at Myers hall and the First Christian church.

Kurata Appointed Engineering Professor
Dr. Fred Kurata will come to the University next month as assistant professor of chemical engineering, it was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
For two years during the war Dr. Kurata, who is a second generation citizen of Japanese descent, was employed on a secret project by the National Defense Research council. Since 1943 he has been employed by the Atlas Powder company in Tamaqua, Pa. Mrs. Kurata served in the Marine corps during the war.
Dr. Kurata has taught at the University of Michigan where he received his master's and doctor's degrees. He received a bachelor of science degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1934. He has specialized in hydrocarbon mixtures and written several articles on their properties.
The Kuratas have one child and will live at Sunflower village.
During World War II, 100 generals were either killed, wounded or captured.

He sentenced five Cheyenne youths to spend two hours daily for 10 days walking around a school where they were accused of breaking 27 windows.
The rough part was the hours the judge specified for the walks—between 2 and 4 a.m. And the parents had to take the walks, too.
