BUDGET SLASH
MISSES D. C.

General orders which have been
issued to subcommittee chairman
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee to "cut to the bone" will
not apply to the group consider
ing the District appropriation bill,
Representative Clarence Cannon,
Of Missouri, ranking member of
the committee said today.
This does not mean, according
to Cannon, that there will be a
wild splurge of spending engaged
in by the District subcommittee,
but it does mean that where ap.
preparations must be increased to
meet urgent needs, there will be
increases.
Mr.. Cannon also announced
that he is maintaining an open
mind on the matter of the Federal
Governments share in the cost
of operating the National Capital.
Currently the Federal Government
is appropriating five million dol.
lars annually.
Whether this should be in.
creased or not, according to Can.
non, depends on the showing
which interested citizens and Dis.
trict officials are able to make
before the District subcommittee.
Hearings on the local budget
are expected to get under way
about December / before a com.
mittee headed by Representative
Ross Collins, of Mississippi. Mr..
Collins has already declared that
he is, in general, opposed to in.
creasing appropriations for ad.
miniStrative purposes beyond
these in the current law, but has
left the door open to requests for
appropriations for permanent i'm.
provements.

PANEL TO STAY.
At GLENN DALE.
Allen Acts as Young
Jurors 0keh Art

Hunpty Dumpty stayed on the
wall ct Glenn Dale Sanatortum
today along with the Cow That
Jumped Over the Moon, the Three
Blind Mice and other nursery tale
figures-all by grace Of q jury Of
six Washington school children.
Commissioner George E. Allen
late yesterday definitely counter
manded orders Of Health Officer
George @. Rutland that the
nursery rhyme murals be painted
out because they were purportedly
"grotesque" and unsuitable for the
scrutiny Of children tuberculosis
patients at the Sanatorium.
CHILDREN LIKE ART
The Commissioners decision
came after six children, five from
white school divisions and one
from q colored division, had been
taken to view the paintings. Cau-
ton had been taken to prevent
the children knowing their func,
ton and their impressions were
recorded by a stenographer.
The first child taken through
the building on the tour gave
answers to the questions put to
her that were typical Of the
majority Of the other opinions.
KNEW CHARACTERS
Her comment, after being asked
by the teacher # she were inter-
ested in the painting, was as fol-
lows:
Eyes, it is very pretty"
Teacher: Does it make you
think Of anything?
Child: It makes me think Of the
nursery rhymes.
Teacher: What does it make
you think Of?
Child: Humpty-dumpty, Ole King
Cole.
Teacher: Any others?
Child: Three blind mice-cows
jumped over the moon-Peter,
Peter, pumpkin eater.
After more questions, the child
further identified the Queen Of
Hearts, the spoon that ran over
the plate and the three bears.
DIDN'T LIKE QUEEN
Five Of the children's remarks
were regarded as indicating the
murals made an healthful impress
sion and the sixth, evidently a
youthful cynic, was regarded as on
the fence.
No. 6 was recorded as first re-
marking, Tive seen all want to-"
Later, however, the transcript Of
his reactions indicated awakening
Of . delayed interest
One little girl said the Queen
Of Hearts didn't "look like queen"
because "she has on rouge and
queens don't wear much rouge"
Humpty Dumpty, all put together
again, she said, looked a bit tired.

SCHULTZ URGES
DRASTIC CHANGE
IN TRAFFIC LAW

Drastic revision of methods of
handling traffic in the District is
essential If the mounting death
toll is to be curbed, said Repre-
sentative william T. Schultz, CD,
Of Indiana, today.
Principal changes sought by
Schultz include:
!. Ban on all-night parking.
2. Ban on daytime parking in
the congested business section.
FAVORS UNDERPASS
3. An extensive system of pedeS-
trian under-passes along principal
streets and to street car loading
zones.
4. Extension of the regulations
prohibiting left turns downtown.
Mr.. Schultz is conversant with
traffic problems here, having
been a member of the special
House committee which, two years
ago, made an extensive inveSti-
CATION. He recommended then
subways under the main circles,
a project which is about to be
carried through.
FREE PARKING LOTS
In order to make the night
time parking ban effective. Mr..
Schultz would have the District
Commissioner set up parking
lots on every vacant area in the
city. Parking would be free and
lots would be surfaced and main
tanned by the city. The owners
of the lots would be compensated
by elimination of taxes.
Schultz expressed the opinion
it would be silly to ban nighttime
parking so long as the present
parking problem exists in the busi-
ness section. He believes that the
prohibition on parking in the busi-
ness section should be general and
should be effectively enforced. He
criticized police for permitting
double parking on some streets by
commercial vehicles during the
rush hours.
CONGESTION EASE
Underpasses would be the
means Of saving many lives,
Schultz declared. He said that
these could be run with connec-
tions to street car loading plat
forms and would tend to eliminate
traffic congestion.
Schultz recalled when he orig
inally suggested eliminating left
turns downtown, the plan was
termed absurd. He pointed out
that the limited application Of the
plan worked we'll and argued that
its extension would bring greater
benefits.
The Washington times., 1937-11-25

The plans include promotion
and encouragement of home de-
livery" service in an effort to
relieve the pressure on the hos
pital's maternity ward. Home
conditions have been investigated
In many cases Of expectant moth
ers and it was found that de-
iveries in the home were feasible
and advisable, the Health Depart
ment announced.
The other two points of the pro
gram include the use of the Up
Shur Street tuberculosis hospital,
now vacant, as q convalescent
home and the building Of an ex-
tern medical service.
The Washington times., 1937-11-25

A medical extern was described
as a young practicing physician
on the hospital staff who would
treat patients in their homes in
stead Of having them come to the
