Voters' "Joy Ride" Poses
Problem For Legislators
(Continued from page One)
t.nployci to prevent comple'.e dis
ruption of slate services. Em
ployes were quitting their jobs
at Iheirate of six hundred every
month and drastic methods had
lo be taken to halt this movement.
If the proposed state budget is
adopted along wilh the creation of
sorely needed building funds, and
assumption of the increase in the
basic school support and the grant
ing of veterans -bonuses, as voted
by Ihe people, during Ihe ngxt bi
ennium we will be spending ap
proximately 82 million dollars
more than we take in, unless new
sources are found.
Our long vaunted "cushion" of
revenue from personal incomes
and .corporate excise taxes will be
dbout 32,000.000 dollars. That isn't
much comlort when faced with
an 82 million dollar deficit.
There are two approaches to the
problem. One is to raise more
monies, and the other is to prac
tice rigid economy. Before the sit
uation is settled both of these so
lutions will be resorted to and even
then it is questionable whether
the next legislature will not he
confronted with an even more dis
turbing situation and a certain de
licit instead ul a surplus in Ihe
treasury.

Seagrave, Burma
Surgeon, Found
Guilty Of Treason
RANGOON, Burma (if) A
Burma court today judged Dr.
Gordon Seagrave, World War
Two's "Burma surgeon," guilty
of high treason. The 53-year-ohl
American was sentenced to serve
six of his remaining years in prison
for aiding hill tribesmen rebelling
against the Burmese government.
Seagrave's attorney said he
; would appeal the verdict. Mean
I while the doctor was returned to
jail.
Tic verdict caifl as a complete
surprise. Most persons here ex
pected his acquittal. Nurses from
his hospital wept as the court rea
its judgment before a packed
courtroom.
Seagrave received the verdict
stoically. Only his moving jaw
muscles betrayed any feeling.
But after the judges left the
courtroom, he told reporters:
"I sincerely hope the American
people will not judge' the peoples
of Burma by the actions of a few.
"I bear the Burmese people no
malice for this," he added.
Around the world the doctor's
arrest at his hospitai in Namk
ham on Aug. 20 had shocked thou
sands of admirers of the famed
surgeon, who was decorated by
King George VI and Ihe U. S.
government for his heroism dur
ing Gen. Joseph Stilwell's jungle
retreat from Burma in 1942.
Seagrave, who had spent more
than 5 years giving medical aid
lo the Burmese people, was found
guilty of aiding rebel Kachin
tribesmen by giving them surgical
instruments and medical sunplics
and through a letter to a nurse
allegedly threatening her unless
she kept silent about rebel activ
ities in the hospital area.
Born in south Burma in 1K97,
Seagrave was the fourth genera
lion of his Baptist missionary
family to serve in the country. He
learned to speak in the Karen lan
guage before he learned English.
Receiving his M. D. degree from
Baltimore's Johns Hopkins in 1921,
he return"! lo Burma lo start his
mission hospital wilh a waste
hasketfull of medical instruments
discarded by a Baltimore hospital.
