The proposed budget, which covers the period from June 30, 1945 to July 1, 1947, was sub mitted for approval to the state welfare commission as follows: old age assistance, $225,000; aid to dependent children, $62,000; blind aid. $7500: general assist ance, $150,000. These, figures represent the total cost of pub lic aid in the county, to be taken from federal, state, and county sources, except for general as' sistance, which is financed by state and county only..

De spite warnings by the reich, the Turkish government in submit ting to British, American and soviet pressure has thus started on the road which deprives it of its freedom and independence of action. The Germans said the Turkish charge d' affaires was requested to leave Germany "instantly." Government Shift This setback for Hitler on the Balkan flank followed swiftly upon a governmental shift in Helsinki which was believed the first step toward taking Finland out of the war as a co-belligerent of the rcich. This shift moved Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Man nerheim to the presidency to suc ceed Risto Ryti, resigned. Turkey's severance of ties with Germany was disclosed by the Turkish home radio and was con firmed almost immediately by Berlin broadcasts. Requested by Britain Premier Sukru Saracoglu an nounced the cabinet's decision to make the break, telling the na tional assembly that it had been requested by Britain, with Unit ed States support. The assembly promptly ratified the decision. Britain had promised Turkey "economic and financial help and war equipment," the premier said,- to meet ine oimcuities which would arise" from the ac tion. Effective Tonight The break is effective at mid nicht tonicht. Speaking before 413 delegates of the assembly, Saracoglu said the steD did not mean that Tur key would enter the war, but that such a possimuty "would depend on the attitude of the other side." An Informed source In Berlin was quoted by the German-controlled Scandinavian telegraph bureau as saying that Germany expected "no change In general military developments" on the Finnish front. "It is understandable that the Finns should want to concen trate all power in the hands of one man, it was said. "Manner heim is most fitted for this be cause he earlier has shown that all his decisions are based on ex perience and deliberation."

In tho sanio vein he said that "one cannot tako moio than a sweeping glnnco ot tho World war as it approaches tho end of its fifth year and as it approaches perhaps its closing stage."

Surrender Possible Eden said in debate over the government sponsored motion for a seven-week recess that while there was no chance of peace being concluded with Ger many in that period, "surrender of the oncmy was possible. Perhaps because so many war and post-war developments arc now in the state of delicate ne gotiation, Churchill contended himself largely with generali ties. Clot In 'The highest personalities In the German rclch are murdoring one another, or trying to, whilo avenging armies of tho allies close upon tho doomed and ever narrowing circle of their power," he said. He pledged British aid to Turkey if she were attacked as a result of her break in relations with Germany.
