ATLANTA (IP) The Georgia Supreme Court hac dismissed contempt action by a superior court judge who imposed S2OO fines and 20-day jail terms on two Atlanta newspaper executives. The tribunal ruled yesterday that Judge H. E. Nichols of Rome. Ga., “erred" in his contempt citation against editor Ralph McGill and managing edi tor William Fields of the Atlanta Constitution. Nichols held them in contempt for refusing to publish a photo graph of a court record. He also objected to a dispatch stating, “motorists who knew the ropes” can easily get around traffic cases in some Georgia counties. LOXAHATCHEE, Fla.

WASHINGTON IP) The special pullman car reserv ed for the use of the President will change hands at noon Tuesday along with the reins of government. So Presi dent Truman, who will have charge of the car until then, thought it wou Id be nice to piace it at President-elect Ei senhower’s disposal for his trip from New York to Wash ther arrangements. But he realized that the car would be fngton this weekend. Eisenhower declined, having made o his Tuesday night when Mr. Truman starts back home to Independence, Mo. So he returned the by offering Mr. Truman use of the car for that trip. WASHINGTON OP! Presiderit Truman classifies Southern Democrats as progressives—when the Republi cans control Congress. In his final news conference yes terday Mr. Truman remarked that the Democrats are the progressive party and Republicans the conservative.

BERLIN IP) Foreign Minister George Dertinger has been arrested by the Communist East German government as a Western Spy it was announced today. The arrest of the 50-ycar-old deputy chairman of the Christian Demo crat party, which has collaborated with the Communists, may be the start of a purge of non-Comnumists from the government and the suppression of _non-Communist par ties in the Russian zone. Dertinger’s'arrest also was con sidered here as possibly another step in Communist pre parations for a large purge show trial of East German Jews and fellow travelers. Last Minute News Shorts !

The commission recommended ap propriations of $13,646,901 from the general fund in the present fiscal year for the retroactive portion of ncrease. It also recommended a $4,000,009 apFTcr-”iaticn from the highway und in this fiscal year to pay for lighway workers paid through that fund. CVT TO BONE The commission’s bulky report •ipped into staggering requests for noney to finance permanent im -V overrents, new buildings and oth r new prcg”ams. It slashed most .-quests to the bone, action cer ain to bring outcries from many tate agencies and institutions. Economy was the undertone of; he report despite its huge total. It vould be unprecedented in mod- j mn times for the legislative to ap prove the report without some in creases.. Appropriations bills for the gen ial and permanent improvement lgures were sent to the legislative long with the commission's report. Sticking to its belief that gen ial fund prospects “do not pro ide funds to embark upon new programs or materially expand.state ervices" the commission made a drastic 87 per cent cut in the imeunt asked for permanent im provements. It said requests totalled $124.- ’ll 227—but the "lack of available funds" made it necessary to recom nend less than 510.000.000. That imount would be used “for the pur pose of completing projects, pre -erving state properties and p'o •iding for neglected health facili ■;es ” Schools would get $245,678,160 of he general fund money, over $16.- 100.000 less than had been request ’d of the commission. The total general fund recommendation is '37.536.008 greater than estimated ’pending during the current bi 'nnium. TAX ESTIMATE The commission estimated that he state will collect $285,323,714 in 'axes ducing the coming fiscal year ind $292,855,764 the following year n all three funds. General fund 'ollections in the first, year are ex pected to be $188,249,264 and $195,- 781314 in the second year. Together with the unappropriated balance, the state has an estimated 4615.553.365 to use during the coni ng biennium in all three funds. A total of $207.273 304 is for the highway fund. All of this, the com mission said, will be needed to ueet the present maio- needs of North Carolina’s highways “even .hough no additional road mileage i' to the 67.000 miljis: which i’-e PC’e exclusive responsibility 6f "he state.” '“ha three principal hie'.rvav need-' n present, the commission said, arc modernization of the primary svs 'em: intensification of maintenance operations on the pimary high ways. and maintenance to protect hard-surfaced secondary roads. The commission prooosed that the. state spend $99,622,428 for high ways during the coming fiscal year and $10,117,175 the following year ’caving a $7,533,701 surplus. Included in the bills the assem- bly received is a provision, for a working cash fund of sl7 836.500 The commission said the fund is comparable to the private enter prise term “current operating cap :tal.” “Sound business practices dic tate that cash must be available at all times to meet current obliba “.cns and in view of the fact that the bo' rowing capacity of the state is limited by law, the need for a l.cash working fund becomes more ! imperative.’’ the commission said. | The only unit to get the full i imount requested for improvements ! was the state school for the blind | and deaf, which asked and was re- I commended for .$55,000. LEFT OUT j Several agencies were left out in | the cold entirely, includirp the Beard cf Con-e-vaticn and Develop ment which had asked for $1,760,372 | for improvements. at a. large num- I ber of parks and recreational areas ! Health projects Were recommend ed so- the lion’s share of the mon- I py available. The larges’ single rec : ommendaticn was $2,675,785 for 27 | necessary improvements to the state hospital at Raleigh. The only other exceeding the mil >iou mark was $1,975,810 for the I■ hospital at Bittner. The Board of Pi’bhe Buildings I and Grounds asked $6,694,833 to air j condition Capitol buildings, and Was turned down. The Univß-sity of North Carolina wanted $5 660.600 for a score of ad ditions and Improvements. The '■ommission would recommend only $150,000 for equipment at the chem istry building and $20,000 for dor mitory fire escapes. State College asked for $6 180.379 and was put down for $530,000. North Ca-olina College at Dur ham was turned down completely on its bid for $3,783,172.

Lack of information will in the future, as in the past, lead the American peo ple to decisions they will regret.
