ASKS INCREASE OF $1,186,218
Bid for $20,000 More Also Made for Operation Of Parks Here.
By RICHARD LEWIS A record 1947 municipal budget was in the making today, but city officials guarded its contents at city hall pending reviews of estimates with department heads. In a bid for public support, Parks Director Paul V. Brown announced his request for $1,072,000 to operate the parks and recreation system next year, an increase of $20,000 over last year's request. Other department heads, however, filed their budgets with City Controller Roy E. Hickman and hoped for the best. Seek More for Police An Increase of $1,186,218 was requested for an expanded police force and fire department by the safety board. These additonal funds would increase the personnel of both departments by 200 men and provide for a 15 per cent pay raise. Mr. Brown presented his budget to a group of women’s organizations representatives yesterday. He explained it was the minimum required to maintain adequate park and recreation services next year. A 16-cent rate would be required to finance the park and recreation proposed expenditure, compared to the 10-cent rate which the park director asked last year and the 8.7 rate he was allowed. With its financial balances swept away by city council last year, the park department faces a drastic operations curtailment in 1947 if its rate is cut again. Points to Wage Hike
Mr. Brown said the general 15cent raise for labor at -city hall would result in a $53,000 increase on labor costs for 1947. An increase of $72,000 for recreation services will be necessary if the] playgrounds are to be staffed by competent personnel, he said.
The director toldg the organiza- | tional representatives that it was;
impossible to hire experienced male
personnel for playground jobs at! $110 a month now provided. He is
asking $200 a month for 10 recreation jobs, he said, but added he is not sure these jobs can be filled at that salary. Because of cuts in the budget for this year, no playground equipment could be purchased and su-
pervised games had to be imagined|and its commander, Col.
or be confined to a story-teller sitting around a sandbox, he said. Says Budget Below Standard Musical programs were impossible, he said, because funds were insufficient to mimeograph song sheets. Arts and crafts had tobe dropped because there money for tools and materials. “This budget, although it is higher than the one we submitted last year, is still below standard,” he told the women's delegation. Cuts by Controller Hickman and the council totaled $240,000 in the current budget, he said, but the department was able to reduce] this deficit to about $117.000 by rigid economies.

COVERNOR KILLS CIVIL AIR SETUP
Lops Off State Funds for War-Born Program.
In an executive order, Governor | Gates today discontinued further expenditures of state funds for sup-
port of the civil air patrol. The war-time organization of pri- | vate fliers was forced into an inac- | tive status with this move, since | partial support by the federal gov- | ernment was discontinued several {months ago. The governor accepted the economy recommendations of a state budget committée that a $15,000 ap- | propriation for the 1946-47 fiscal year not be used.
Praises Patrol
Expenses until June 30 will be charged against a similar amount |included in the current fiscal year’s budget. Goevrnor Gates, who paid tribute to the Indiana wing of the CAP Walker
Winslow, declared: “I join with the budget committee’s unanimous recommendations since it now appears the civil air patrol no longer is needed for carrying on any of the functions lof state government.” Incorporated in his order was a
{provision that any remaining state {duties being performed by the CAP {shall be assumed by the state aeronautics commission, created by a 1945 legislative act.

regular appropriation bills remain unpassed. Senate plans to buckle down next week but major differences with house remain, so. some bills may not get through by June 30 deadline. In that case, joint resolutions extending appropriations at present rate will be necessary if government workers are to be paid. In addition, more important legislation is still pending than has
been passed in entire session.
House has yet to act on British loan and control of atomic energy.
Emergency strike bill is still in house rules committee with members trying to work out strategy to get both it and the Case bill enacted. OPA and draft extension bills are in conference.

Lack of Funds That $6 million C. I. O.-P. A. C. kitty you've been hearing about isn’t even remotely close to realization. And operations of labor politicians have been seriously ham.pered in some areas by lack of funds. Buck-a-member drive to elect those friendly to C. I. O. program began right after war's end, but had to be sidetracked for appeals to help strikers. Drive is now on in all C. IL O. unions and will be pushed down to shop-steward level. C. I.

LABOR AND DRYS BACK REV. COERS
Urge Democrats to Run Minister for Senate.
Forces representing labor and drys today urged Democratic State Chairman Pleas Greenlee to “get behind” the Rev. Morris Coers, Indianapolis pastor, as a U, 8. senatorial candidate. With the Democratic state convention only 11 days away, Chairman Greenlee told aspirants they had to “stand on their own feet.” No state committee “blessing” will ‘be forthcoming to any cqndidate, Mr. Greenlee insisted. , “A lot of the boys want us to support them,” he disclosed, “but I tell them all to announce their candidacies, if they want the offices. I'm not going to give anybody the ‘go’ sign.” No Candidates Yet Meanwhile, -not a single person |
for U, 8. senator. Even the Rev.| Mr, Coers, whose backers are. in- | sistent that he be a candidate, has not indicated he will do so. ‘However, his announcement and perhaps that of a second candidate | are expected early next week. { McClain, insurance commissioner under former Governor Paul McNutt, announced today he will be a candidate for secretary | of state.

Dr. Edward CO. Elliott, former! Purdue university president, and U. 8. District Attorney Alex M.| Campbell of Ft.

Schricker as a senate candidate. | Some Democrats believe that he easily could defeat Republican Nominee William E. Jenner, since! he has appeal for Republican and independent voters. Democratic strategists also felt that Thursday's Republican controlled convention would leave a bad taste in the mouths of many staunch party people, who might be persuaded to vote for Mr. Schricker. ,
