For D. c. Faces Lack
of Funds, Is View

Sentiment was slow to crystalize
on Capitol Hill today concerning
the proposal of Commissioner Mel
vim G. Hazen for $75 ,000, 1000 five
year building program for the Dis
trict.
Although many members Of the
House and Senate District commit
tees and District appropriation
subcommittee expressed approval
Of the general principle of long
range planning for public con-
struction, they voiced doubt as to
the present availability of funds
for such a purpose.
Representative Ross Collins CD
Of Mississippi, chairman of the
House District subcommittee, ex-
planned what he believes Is the
origin Of Commissioner Hazen'S
proposal. He asserted that a build
ingS commission composed of Sec
rotary Ickes, Frederic Delano, Sen
ator Elmer Thomas CD of Okla
holna, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict appropriations subcommittee,
and himself had called upon all
departments of theA Government,
including the District to submit
their long-range building programs.
Wonders About Funds
The MisSissippian said he be-
lieved that it was as result
of this request that Hazen took
his program to the White House
yesterday and sought approval
Of the President. AS to the
merits of the Hazen proposal,
he said:
I'D like to see all these
things done, but 1 am wonder
ing where the District, which
faces a revenue deficit next
year, is going to get another
$15,OOO,O00 a year to finance
this building program"

Members of Deer Family
Fierce at Mating Time

Immediately following the perfect
development of new antlers, says an
authority in the Detroit News, male
deer, elk, caribou and moose some
times become as savage as whelp-
robbed tigers. The neck swellS far
beyond it's natural size, the eye pits
distend, and the buck goes stalking
about with ears laid back and nostrils
expanded, fairly spelling for fight.
Stays that were mild and gentle dur
ing eight or nine months Of the year
suddenly transform into niurderous
demons, ready and anxious to STAB
to death any unarmed man who ven
lures near. The loving pet of May
readily becomes the dangerous, fury
filled murderer of October, and man
not fully armed has little chance
with it.
This change in the disposition of an
otherwise "gentle9a animal is well
known by most hunters. 1t occurs
during their rutting or breeding
season and also accounts for many OF
the fatal encounters between two
bucks, fighting for supremacy. Nat
uralists agree that during this period
there Is no more dangerous animal,
and they are not to be trusted under
any circumstances. Most of the seri-
Gus and fatal accidents that occur in
zoos, in which members Of the deer
family are involved, happen during
this period, and the well-trained at
tendants take no chances with them.
