James To Deliver
Budge, Tonight
(See Editorial, Page Two) -
The probable fate of the Col
lege's requeit for a $5,619,545.49
appropriation from the state will
be known when Gov. Arthur H.
James makes public his 1941-42
biennial budget at 9:30 tonight.
At ,that time the Governor Imill
deliver a 15-minute broadcast
address before a combined ses
sion of the Senate and the House.
It is generally believed that
James will not recommend the
full. increase of approximately
$1,194,000 which the College has
asked over the 1939-40 appropri
ation. There is a slight probab
ility that the Governir may ask
the Legislature for additional
funds to maintain and equip the
buildings erected on the campus
by the GSA.
In his opening address to the
Legislature of January 7 James .
said that totaLbudget will be
`.`virtually identical" to the 1939-
40. sum of approximately ; $538,-
-000,000. However, - he implied.,that -.whether Goldmann sustained
