Improvements in public works at
a cost totaling about $3,000,000,000
will be made by 14) municipalities
in the United States during the next
five years, according to a survey
report issued by the Public Works
Association,
The study also showed, accord
ing to daily press summaries, that
highways are most numerous on the
list of improvements planned by
the cities. Storm and sanitary sew
erage projects are next. Other pro
jects are waterworks, schools and
libraries, fire houses, and city ad
ministration buildings. i
About one-third of the expendi
ture is represented by plans and
specifications which are fifty per
cent complete.
Public Payrolls
Public payrolls, according to fig
ures compiled by the Census Bureau
reached a total of $23,250,000,000
last year. Local governments, such
as cities and counties, accounted
for $10,250,000,000; state payrolls for
$3,250,000,000; and the federal gov
ernment for $9,750,000,000.
Education systems employed the
most people. Civilian employees of
national defense agencies came
next, followed by civilian public
employees, the Census Bureau said.
Discharge of Communist Teachers
The New York State Court of
Appeals recently upheld the dis
charge of 14 New York City teach
ers who refused to tell a Senate
sub-committee whether they were
or ever had been Communists. The
4 to 3 decision upheld an earlier
ruling by the appellate division.
The eight public school teachers
and six municipal-college faculty
members were fired October, 1952,
after they refused to answer ques
tions before the Senate internal
security sub-committee. Each one
claimed that his answer might in
criminate him.
General for Indo-Chins
According to press reports last
week the United States has sug
gested that an American general
take over training of all native
forces fighting the Communists in
Indo-China. -Diplomatic

that was being suggested now was

Increase in Crime
The annual renort on or'lma In
the United States, published by the
FBI recently shows that major
crimes in the nation increased by
six per cent last year tq a total of
2,159,080 offenses. Population in
creases totaled about five percent
between 1950 and 1953 while crime
increased during the same period
by over twenty per cent.
Of the major crimes tabulated
from police reports in all parts of
the country, only murder dropped
from 1952. It showed a 1.2 per cent
decline. Arrests of young people,
those under eighteen, rose 7.9 per
cent in 1953 while adult arrests in
creased 1.9 per cent-
A sampling of data from 1,174
cities indicated that some four mil
lion persons were arrested during
the year. This figure includes Der
sons taken into custody for driving
while drunk and negligent man
slaughter involving automobiles.
but does not include arrests for
lesser traffic offenses.
"Uniform Crime Reports," the
official name of the FBI report
said more than 59 per cent of the
value of property stolen last year
was recovered; of the 226,530 auto
mobiles stolen police reported re
covery of 93.9 per cent.
Among crime categories which
showed increases last year, robber
ies led the list with an 8.5 per cent
jump. Burglaries rose 8.2 per cent.
larceny and aggravated assault went
up 5.4 and 5.3 per cent, respective
ly, rape climbed 3.8 per cent, and
negligent manslaughter rose 0.7 per
cent
Of the total number of those ar
rested, 8.4 per cent were under 17
years of age and 14.7 per cent were
under 21. . Juveniles comprised 53.6
per cent of all those arrested for
stealing automobiles and nearly
half of those arrested for burglary
were not yet 18.

'The Commission said the evidence

convenience to the public than bene
fit to the railroad.
: If Faison had been a flag stop
between April. 1958, and March,
1954, the Commission observed,
trains No. 48 and 49 would have
been forced to stop 54.8 per cent

Pollination of Tradescantia in the

seek the pollen for food and in gath

interest in. studying what happens
during the. period when the ele
ments of the stamens and pistils
come together and in the rather
great variation we have in the
chromosome number in members
of the genus Tradescantia. While
it is the usual thing for the mem
bers of a genus to have the chromo
some numbers relatively close to
