Federal Payment Of
$500. 900.

President Roosevelt today signed the
District appropriation bill carrying
sac, ,54s, 900 for the fiscal year begin
ming July !.
The bill continues the Federal pay.
rnent to the District at the presen:
basic figure of s5,70O.000. The tota
appropriation is about $173,000 above
the total recommended by the Budget
Bureau. The measure carries about
$2,500,000 more than the District ap-
preparations for the current year, but
this was largely due to the necessity
of meeting the return to basic salaries
of District employees.
The bill provides for no unusual
public improvements, the principal
ones being two viadrcts. One would
eliminate the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail
road crossing at Michigan avenue and
the other the Franklin street northeast
crossing of the Baltimore g. Ohio
tracks between Eighth and Ninth
streets.

by the ASSOcleled Press.
NEW YORK. June l5.-The body
of little Jackie Kaul, 5. was recovered
from the East River today. ending a
frantic search which began June
when the boy disappeared from a
playground in fashionable Sutton
place on Manhattan's East Side.
The body was identified by the
missing boys father, John Kaul.
The body, taken from East River
in the Bronx, roughly 10 miles from
where he was last seen, was viewed
in the Fordham Hospital morgue by
the father. He collapsed after max
ing the Identification.
Recovery of the body ended a police
search that has progressed on two
theories since the child's disappear
ance. One theory. believed by his
mother, vss that he had fallen into
the river. Police also believed he
might have been seized by woman
of frustrated maternal instincts.
Fisherman Sees Body.
The body was discovered today by
Salvatore Liza fishing at the foot of
LII ally SLc6I, Tile oFOIlA. ne sum-
moned a policeman who brought it
ashore.
The lad was last seen playing with
ball found today in the pocket of
his blouse. His mother feared from
the start that he had been drowned,
and police and volunteer searchers
dragged the river, using graphing
hooks under the piers southwark from
Sutton place.
When Detective Thomas Crane went
to the Kaul home to report the find
ing Of the body, Kaul drew him into
the kitchen. After listening to Cranes
description, he urged the detective
not to mention it to Mrs. Kaul.
Tells Of Medal.
The detective insisted the grief
stricken mother should be told, and
in naming the identifying items he
mentioned the Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal on Jackie's shirt.
"Oh, John!" she cried to her hus-
band, cts Jackie. I pinned the
medal on him"
Mrs. Kaul, shaken by the news
said she always has had a dread OF
water, dread shared by Jackie.
