What docs if mean? It means that if all the money appropriated to a department to finance its activities isn t spent by the end of the fiscal year for which it was appropriated the sur- . olus will go back into the general fund where it COULD be used either to pay off debt or to re duce the amount of tax money needed to finance the state's ac tivities during the NEXT fiscal year. In either event, the taxpay ers would benefit. To prevent that, the departments rush in and SPEND IT before the year ends, it should be added that this practice is quite common in our federal government. H exists in the governments of all our big slates and our big, sprawling. overgrown cities. Let's do a little supposing. Suppose you are a stockholder In a relatively small private cor poration. Suppose it operates on the budget system. Suppose one of its departments has some money left over near the end of the year Suppose this department rushes In and SPENDS its surplus m stead of turning it back to the treasurer to be added to the net profit out of which dividends are paid. What would you do? You'd go on a rampage and dc mand that whoever was respon sible for that particular piece of recklessness with your money be FIRED. , Why your rampage? Well, in the case of the small corporation of which you are a stockholder the wasted money would have come out of YOUR pocket. If it hadn't been wasted, there would have been more left for YOU to spend. In the ease of the government, we fall into the bad habit of thinking of government money as manna from heaven. It ISN'T man na from heaven. Government mon ey comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. The more money gov ernment takes out of the taxpay er's pocket, the less there is left for the taxpayer to spend FOR HIMSELF. How can government extrava gance be checked? Here is one way: Study the records of your elec tive officials. When comes elec tion dav. VOTE AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE INCLINED TO BE EX TRAVAGANT WITH THE PEO PLE'S MONEY.

Mitchell has asked the public to demand that the Democratic - controlled Congress approve picketing and boycott curbs as well as less controversial union reform legis lation. But he said it was up to Con gress to decide whether to adopt single package similar to the biscnhower administration s pro posal or consider Taft - Hartley law revisions on picketing and boycotts later after passing a ba sic retorm bill. Mitchell issued a statement Thursday night to clarify his views on labor reform measures being considered by the Senate labor subcommittee. Subcommittee Chairman John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.l advocates the two - package approach on grounds that controversy over Tall-Hartley changes would jeop ardize the chances of passing any labor bill. Mitchell said Kennedy and Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson "have the votes to enact any legislation they want" in this field. He urged all Americans "who want enacted effective labor-management reform legislation. hould keep reminding these gen tlemen that half measures will not do.

South Holds Water Conclave SACRAMENTO ITI The Southern California legislative del egation is faced with the problem of drafting a legislative program for water today "with no basic point of agreement." Southern California water lead ers and Ihe legislators met in ex ecutive session for a total of six hours late Thursday, ending at 11 p.m., in an attempt to find a wa ter program which would be ac ceptable to Gov. Edmund G. Brown. All other legislative activity end ed Thursday when both houses adjourned until Monday. Sen. John Murdy iR-Santa Ana' chairman of the southern delega tion, said there was "general har mony and unanimity and that the closed gathering agreed on four points: The need for a simple con stitutional amendment. adequate financing. The inviol.cy of the invest ment fund which must be tor wa ter development. And an immediate start on a policy of statewide water devel eoment. However. Murdy and others leaving the meeting indicated that' the general agreement on tne lour a!tts was not unanimous. The southern delegation was then faced with" the problem of compiling program to be inclu ded in the governor's water pro gram knowing that he docs not deem a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the validity of water contracts necessary. Evidence of a split among the southern water leaders was shown in a letter from W. H. Jennings. general counsel for the San Diego uounty water Authority "Probably the least helpful at titude that could be taken. . . at this time." Jennings "would be one that closed the door to negotiations for the most favorable program which would be accomplished. Another legislative deadlock and consequent delay on a start on construction is certain ly intolerable." Jennings also said that the gov ernor's water program statement in general is a satisfactory basis lor a start on construction." Orange and Imperial counties also were reported as breaking away from the repeated demand for a constitutional amendment. "There are millions of dollars in Ihe budget for a water program this year, one witness said. "Next year there will be more millions and prettv soon there will be hun rireds of millions and the north will have what it wants in water development and we still won't have a constitutional amendment . . It looks like we can't The split was further evidenced by Assemblyman Carley Porter u-comptoni after the afternoon session: i ins gatiienng. tie said, was called to find a basic minimum position of agreement. . . so far I have not heard enough to pinpoint that agreement."

State Department press officer Lincoln White declined to com ment. The Iranian government an nounced Thursday1 that the talks had broken off and that the So viet mission had returned to Mos cow. The Soviet government charged that American pressure caused the break off and paved the way for U. S.-Iran military pact. trouble. Betancourt ordered the inaugur al ceremonies kept simple be cause of the legacy of unemploy ment and poverty from Ihe ousted dictatorship. He dispensed with the usual parade, grand ball and banquet.' The most elaborate event was a formal reception Thursday night at the Foreign Ministry for for eign delegates to the inaugural. Only a small crowd turned out in the Plaza Bolivar to watch the guests in evening dress. Betancourt made plain that he would not rush ahead with the proposals by leftist and national istic elements that the foieign op erators of the oil industry give Venezuela a much larger share of the profits. There will be no sudden de crees, he told the Caracas Jour nal, in an obvious reference to the outgoing junta's sudden 10 per cent raise in the income tax in December without prior consulta tion with the U.S., British and Dutch oil companies. A youthful Communist who long ago turned his back on the party. Betancourt has spent more than 20 years off and on in exile. He was provisional president ir. 1945-8 alter the overthrow of Gen Isaias Medina. In the presidential election last December he rolled up a huge vote in the provinces to defeat Hear Adm.

Kennedy, labor-management committee counsel, said Alex Cohen, whom he described as a powerful figure among labor unionists dealing with coin ma chine operators, would get a chance to answer testimony link ing Cohen's name with gangsters. James Cagiano of Flushing. L I former associate of Cohen in labor unions, testified Thursday that Cohen used to receive phone calls from John Dioguardi Uohn ny Dioi and from Tony (Ducks Corallo. Kennedy said Albert Denver, head of a trade organization known as Music Operators of New York. Inc., and Sylvia Gold berg, a former labor union em ploye. would be ambng the wit nesses. Stephen Vladeck. counsel lo (he Retail Clerks Union in New York testified the international union has expelled both Cagiano and Cohen for their handling of locals which attempted to organize ma chine repair and maintenance mechanics. Kennedy said Cohen and Cagi ano at'one time headed rival un ions picketing each other in a fight that caused havoc in the In dustry. The rivals finally merged ir.to a single unit ot tne rtctaii Clerks Union, with Cagiano as president and Cohen as secretary treasurer, Kennedy said. Cagiano described a stormy ca reer in a variety of coin machine servicemen's unions. He said Ihese locals' main purpose was to nicket business establishments that installed machines not owned by members of the trade associa tions with which the unions bar gained. Abraham Gilbert, former office manager of one of Cagiano's lo cals, testified that "The employes didn't need a union. They got very good wages. He said he agreed with Kennedy that the union ex isted for the help and assistance of the association" of machine owners.

White said Dulles was on the operating table less than an hour. White's announcement lo news men was made at the Army's Walter Rccd .Medical Center.

FEBRUARY I, lS Scribe Irks Nobel Author MOSCOW (UPI) A visibly shaken Boris Pasternak today bitterly complained that a Brit ish reporter betrayed his trust by publishing without his authoriza tion a poem the Russian poet author said was written in a "black, pessimistic mood." Pasternak came under neavy fire from the Communists after the Nobel committee awarded him the 1958 prize for literature. He rejected the prize and the $40,000 award which went with it because his novel. Dr. Zhivago. had become controversial. Pasternak said a British report er had volunteered to deliver the poem to Pasternak s friend Jaqueline de Proyart, curator of the Tolstoy Museum in Paris. He denounced the reporter and swore he would receive no more correspondents who "only hinder my work and cause me harm." The London Daily Mail last Wednesday published a poem which reporter Anthony Brown said Pasternak gave him for pub lication after a three-hout inter view. Brown was in Moscow to cover the 21st Soviet Communtst Party congress. Policy Pact Request Made from the flooded Peru area up stream on the rampaging Wabash.

But they added if it does give way, it would mean "tre mendous destruction" lo Delphi and Lafayette. Lafayette police Sgt. Stanley Davenport said engineers might try to dynamite the gorge apart little at a time today. "They'll probably try to blast It loose about 60 feet at a crack." Davenport said. "There isn't enough dynamite in the country to blast it all loose at once. National Guard officials at Lo- cansnort said an inspection of Ihe iloe Thursday night revealed deep cracks on its downstream side.

WASHINGTON UFD - Rep. , Richard M. Simpson (R-Pa.) is back with his demand (hat the Republican Party draft a new declaration of principles to tell where the GOP stands. As chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Commit tee he has been pressing for such action since shortly alter the 19ftt elections in which the GOP suf fered widespread defeats. In a Lincoln day speech at St. Paul, Minn., Thursday night Simp son said the party cannot wait for the I960 platform to be drafted at its national convention next year. fte said Republican principles "must be reasserted and put be ore the people so that there can be no misunderstanding about where Ihe party stands." He said this statement should be one on which all GOP candidates, includ ing the I960 presidential nominee, could run next year. Simpson said he was Irtquently asked where the party stands on foreign trade policy, inflation, un employment, subversion, taxes, centralization of government, defi cit spending and national defense. To answer such questions, simp son has favored adoption of I declaration like that approved by Republican members of the House and Senate and the GOP National Committee in February. 1950.
