State Spending Near 165 Million COLUMBIA, Dec. 29—Appro priations will occupy their usual No. 1 place on the legislative agen da of the new 90th General As sembly that convenes here Jan. 13. Odds are that the money bill will show state spending from all sources of about $165 million. About $145 million of this may show in the appropriations bill the assembly will enact. The rest will come from certain earmarked revenues and from federal aid. Such a budget would be In line with this year’s, which is pegged to $104^ millions in state spend ing shown in the money bill. If requests from state agencies, institutions and departments were met, tho over all state budget would be about $200 million. The basis of the money bill will b6 the Budget and Control Board’s annual report and recommenda tions, due to be made shortly be fore the assembly meets. Biggest pressure on the board has been to recommend a general pay increase for state employees, including public school teachers. The employes have asked for 20 per cent, and the teachers are in terested in varying increases that will average between 20 and 30 per cent. Public welfare wants more state dollars for its joint federal-state aid program. RISERS RETURN FROM SERVICE IN TOKYO Maj. and Mrs. W. W.

In the Book oj Time, may the page headed 1933 be written large as one of your very hap piest! CAPITAL LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY "Founded on Faith—Dedicated to Service" Martin Seymore Martin Luther Seymore, 56, died early Monday morning at his resi dence near Whitmire after a lin gering illness. v Mr. Seymore was born near Prosperity and was the son of the late Bob and Texanna Wicker Sey more. He was a member of Bethesda Baptist church and was a carpenter by trade. He was a veteran of World War I. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna Rochester Seymore; two sons, R. Russell Seymore and M. L. Seymore; two daughters, Mrs. Frank Alexander and Mrs. Fred Shields; one brother, Benjamin Tillman Seymore, and three grand children, all of Whitmire. Funeral services were conduct ed at 3:30 .p.m. Tuesday afternoon from the Bethesda Baptist church by the Rev. Toy T. Waddell and the Rev. Gilliam Johnson. Inter ment followed at Lee cemetery. G ENERAL Douglas MacArthur’s proclamation before the NAM that he has an almost bloodless plan to end the Korean war was a grandstand play—even though he has such a plan. He should have consulted with the Chiefs of Staff without a pub lic drum beating. Or better, he should have forgotten his pride for the sake of his country and submitted his plan quietly to Ike. If it is workable, Ike’s sharp eye in military affairs would have rec ognized its worth at once. Mac owes it to America to put the knowledge he has gained from long experience at the disposal of his country instead of letting his vanity hold out until he is per suaded to give advice. Instead the general has flown the colors of pa triotism high while allowing his ego and senile petulance to blind him to true meaning of patriotism. His flamboyant gesturing has re fused to fade way, but unless this new plan of his is of any value, his usefulness to this nation has faded long ago. He should stick to military bombing, not political. His wounded pride is driving him to try to blast the roof off the GOP tepee. Ike’s willingness to give Mac’s suggestions the benefit of consider ation was hardly big-heartedness It would be bad politics for Ike to ignore the mighty MacArthur leg end that has grown in this country and throw Mac’s plan in the waste basket. If shunned, Mac would as sume the attitude of a martyr He’s a good enough actor to con vince many people that he has been wronged. Anyway, Dee needs a few plans COLUMBIA, 8. C.
