Learning that her husband had been injured in the Eastern Air Lines plane crash, Mrs. Eddie Rickenbacker rushed to an Atlanta hospital where he is in bed with serious injuries. Here she is shown talking with Reporter Louis Johnson of the Atlanta Journal,

The House planned to meet tomorrow as a “Committee of the Whole” to study the first of three budget bills slashed $8,300,000 by G. 0. P. financial and party leaders. Speaker James Knapp said that if the bill is back from the printer,

the House may get an early.start on the study tonight. The cuts affect more than 40 state offices, boards and commissions with hundreds of jobs sacrificed in the economy program designed at balancing the State budget for the next two years. The Welfare Department, where state funds match Federal grants in financing its program, had its budget slashed $3,700,000, including $230,000 in payroll cuts. More than $3,000,000 was removed from the Weliare appropriations on the ground that if represented only a “cushion” or surplus working balance. Ross Teckemeyer, chief deputy State Auditor, said this amount represented the unspent balance of the Welfare Department for the last two years and that similar “cushions” were eliminated in other departments. All the unused appropriations reverted to the general fund, thus creating the $5,000,000 balance the State is expected to have June 30. Rep. Roy J. Harrison (R. Attica), House Ways and Means Committee chairman, said the services provided by each department were -considered carefuily before any cuts were made. Some department heads were said to have admitted they could operate on less funds than they have been receiving. The second largest cut was $538,000 from the Governor's emergency contingent funds, eliminating improvement of State buildings or construction of new ones. The next largest cut was $350,000 from the Gross Income Depart-

House to Study 8 Million Reduction in State's Budget

ing the dismissal of scores of employees. Other | departmental reductions amounting toe more than $100,000 were made in “he Oil Inspection Division of the State Auditor's office and the Adjutant General's office. Each of them were cut $104,000. Also the Publi¢ Service Commission budget was cul $110,000 in operating expenses. The cuts reduced total general fund budgets for the next two years to $75,93¢ 110, compared to $84,263,000 originally submitted to the Legislature by the State Budget Committee. The amended budget is more thén $6,000,000 less than the 1939 budget. The (Cemmittee also made big cuts in the special funds, including the. Highway Commission, but these have no relation to the general fund budgets because they are special revenues that are spent automatically as they are received. Payrells, Building Funds Cut Substantial cuts were made in every one of the budgets for the 21 state institutions and four universities. These amounted to $1,947,000# and were taken off of both payrolls and proposed new building projects. The Biggest institutions reductions were $150,000 from the Central State | Hospital here and $105,000 from the State Prison at Michigan City. Recuctions for other institutions ranged from $5000 to $75,000. Of the total $1,947,000 reductions, more than £700,000 was lopped off the building projects and the remainder from operating expenses. The State Highway fund for conconstruction was reduced from $45,000,000 to $22,000,000 for budget purposes, but it doesn’t mean that the Commission will spend $16,000,000 less in the nzxt two years, Committee members explained. Protective Clause Inserted In their recapitulation of all budget reductions Committee members included this $16,000,000 and listed tatsl cuts at about $23,000,000. However, since the full $45,000,000, received from gasoline taxes and other molor revenues, will be spent when received, Committee members said it would not be considered as

% an “honest” budget reduction.

Fewer Than 1% of Homes Vacant Here; Realtors Fear Possible Action by U. S.

president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, warned that unless local realtors formed some such group to meet housing shortages, the Government would step into the picture. : “1 want to assure you,” Mr. Nel son. said yesterday at the Board’s weekly luncheon, “that the Government does not want to handle the defense housing problem. It would rather that private enterprise do it. But if the Government does decide to build homes here, it means the Public Building Administration has decided that private enterprise cannot do the job.” He said that after the Government had decided to build houses in Indianapolis a protest by private builders would be too late. He suggested that a group of bankers, builders and realtors be formed now to say to the Government that “we can build the needed houses.” The WPA study was made in key cities by the Division of Research at the request of the Division of Defense Housing Co-ordination. It was a two-week sample survey to supplement another which has been under way by WPA here for 10 months. .

Of the 115,000 units in the city, 97.5 per cent were found to be occupied. Of the remaining 2.5 per cent, 8. per cent were not for rent, 3. per cent were unfit for use, and 5 lacked standard facilities (such as inside toilets or a heating plant). This leaves ‘a percentage of 9 (or 1035 units) available for rent and having standard facilities. Among the vacancies fit for use, including those lacking one or more standard facilities, the average monthly rental was $25. A few more than a fourth of the total rented for $85 or more. ARout 30 per cent.of the rental vacancies were one and two-room apartments. In the larger units, four rooms was the usual size, and only one-tenth of the vacancies had more than six rooms. -In ‘addition to the dwelling. unit vacancies, some housing is available for workers without families in about 2700 occupied homes which have 4000 rooms for rent, the survey shows. The continuing vacancy list made by the property management division of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board last week had available about 350 properties ranging in rent from $10 to $125 a month. This list contains only those properties handled

by division members. Officers of the division estimate that an additional 350 to 450 properties are held by private investors. This would mean some 800 properties are vacant, some 200 less than the WPA survey shows.

Mr. Nelson also said that the expenditure of 80 billion dollars for defense in the next few years would mean tremendous real estate activity and the shifting of thousands of workers from place to place,

The Government, he added, is ready to build 200,000 homes if and when it is shown that private enterprise cannot meet the demand. He also said that rent control, against which the local Board has adopted a resolution, would be the “most dangerous thing that could happen to real estate.” “France in 1915 imposed rent control,” he said, “and it never has been removed. Mass market building in France stopped when control was established. Rent control here would stifle the construction industry.” He reported that the National Association of Real Estate Boards has promised the Government that whenever there is a member board, it would see that rents are fair and

would prevent abuses.
