BUDGET SLASH
DOUBTED HERE

Reports of further prospective
budget cuts were met today by
officers of Federal employees as
sociations with expressions of
doubt and opposition to any such
step,
Coming at a time when it was
confidently expected that part,
if not all, of the IS per cent pay
cut in Government salaries would
be restored at the next session Of
Congress, the report that the
ordinary Federal budget will be
reduced from $2,6Oo,oOO,ooo TO
$2,4O7, 100000 next year occasion
ed surprise in every quarter.
Luther C. Steward, president of
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees, was of the opin-
ion that the threat should not be
taken too seriously. He said that
accurate budget information never
had been forthcoming as early
as this.
E. Claude Babcock. president
of the American Federation of
Government Employees, said that

Working mothers in the District
who must leave their babies at
home while mama" is at her
job will benefit by the announce
ment of Federal Relief Administra-
tor Hopkins that relief funds will
be used to establish nursery
schools throughout the United
States.
Miss Dorothy Hadley, head Of
the nursery at Neighborhood
House, believes the need for such
schools in the District is urgent.
Nurseries Here Crowded
Neighborhood House conducts
both a day nursery and nursery
school, and both are crowded to
capacity. The difference between
the two Miss Hadley explains
thus:
"The day nursery only under.
takes to care for the child in
the absence of the mother. The
nursery school has a definite
child training program. Both
are badly needed here"
Babies are received at Neighbor.
hood House at any age from one
day up. Six months old Richard,
son of an employed mother and
jobless father, has been with them
since he was a month old. An
older brother, now in the first
grade, joins him in the nursery
when school is out. Both are
cared for until their mother calls
for them when she goes off duty
as maid in a fashionable hotel.
Avoids Relief Burden
Says Miss Hadley:
"The mother could get a job
and the father couldn't. If we
hadn't been able to take in the
baby for the entire day and the
older child after he was re-
leased from school the mother
couldn't have taken the job.
The whole family would have
been on relief"
The Neighborhood House nurs-
cry has been carrying on despite
severe financial handicapS. Some
of the parents of their little
pupils are able to pay a small
fee. Others can pay nothing.
According to Miss Hadley:

Neighborhood House Official Here Tells Of
Urgent Need For Places Where Babies
Can Be Watched As Parents Work

"Of course, when they can
pay we are glad to accept the
money. When they can't
well, we never turn baby away
when there is room in our nurs-
cry"
Neighborhood House babies
show a marked improvement after
they have been enrolled a few
weeks. An ample supply of milk
and fresh vegetables puts roses in
pallid little cheeks and firm flesh
on tiny arms and legs. The
youngsters Squeel and romp in
true baby fashion as they play
in the bright nurseries or in the
tidy little yard.
Says Miss Hadley:
"These boys and girls are too
young to send to Fairgrounds
unattended. Unless mother has
the time to take them there,
their only playground is the
sidewalk in front of their homes.
Their houses frequently are
poorly heated and ill ventilated.
Here they are warm and have
plenty Of fresh air and sun.

owners, VINO
constitute in a large measure
the tax-paying class of any
community, the fundamental
basis of all citizens associa-
itOnS?
Do our associations receive
the full support and cOOpera-
tiOn of the individuals, who,
while not in the real estate
owning class, nevertheless,
should interest themselves in
civic affairs of our city?
Could Be Improved
Frankly, I feel there is room
for improvement along those lines.
We have in the District of Co.
lumbia active citizens associa-
tions organized in every section,
each assuming control of an area
with certain territorial limits. In
every instance these associations
are differed by men and women
who are giving freely of their
time, ability and labors in order
that the needs of our city may
be presented in an intelligent
manner to the law-making bodies
and our interests protected.
They are our town council, or
ganized without the right of
suffrage, which the people of
Washington are and have been
denied since 1878.
Many Problems
However, every conceivable
question or form of legislation
affecting thriving, progressive
city such as washington is de-
bated and passed upon by our
citizens associations.
While it is undoubtedly true
that the Congress has limited
manufacturing here, other prob
lens are continually before us,
such as rezoning of certain neigh
borhoods, street widening in GER
tain sections, additional school
facilities, fair tax rate and as
sessment, additional police protec-
ton wherever necessary, on all
Of which the advice of our or
ganizations is sought and appre-
ciated by those compelled to pass
final Judgment.
Another question tf-<t I feel
will cause great commotion, ex-
element and debate among our
associations will be the problem
of how we are to govern the
sale and disposition of liquor in
the District of Columbia when
the Eighteenth Amendment and
the Volstead act are repealed.

and energetic chairman of the
Senate Committee on the District

ZONE SYSTEM
AMONG PLANS
PROPOSED
Transit Officials Asked to
Study Also Lower Rates
For Non.RuSh Hours

Major John C. Gotwals, Engi-
neer Commissioner, announced to-
day that he has suggested to Off
cials of the new Capital Transit
Company that they begin imme-
diate study of several plans look
ing toward reduction of local
street car fares.
Plans offered by Major Gotwals
to John H. Hanna, president OF
the new company, include:
Inauguration of reduced car
fares during non-rush hours.
Special reduce fares for
weekly tickets.
Institution of zone system,
with reduced fares for short
hauls.
Action Sought After Dec.
Major Gotwals, who is also a
member of the Public Utilities
Commission, said he is not urging
that any of these plans be put into
effect at once, but that he believes
they should be given serious con-
sideration Immediately after the
proposed merger of the present
traction lines becomes effective
December /.
Adoption of such plans, Major
Gotwals believes, would assist
materially in increasing the pa
tronage of the street cars, which
has been falling for some time.
Zone Plan Turned Down
Consideration of the zone sys-
tenn; which was suggested first
by Peoples Counsel Richmond
B. Keech, also has been advo-
Gated by Riley E. Elgen, acting
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission. Elgen made his
recommendation some months
ago, but it was turned down by
traction officials.
In public speech last week
Hanna announced that zone
fares were being considered by
We traction company, but added
that no form of fare reduction
will be put into effect until trac-
ton heads are convinced it will
not entail financial sacrifice on
the part of the company.
Major Gotwals, while he has
received no reply to his sugges-
tions, expressed confidence that
the plans advanced by him will
be given serious consideration by
the company.

SEEK
MORE LEISURE

and less babies, according to DR..
H. Marshall Allan, noted Aus

in Baltimore.
DR.. Allan, who was a guest at
the recent meeting of the Amer

that although economic conditions
might explain to some degree the
falling birth rate throughout the
world, he believed a desire on the
