SENATE GROUP
TO TAKE UP
DC. BUDGET
-trict budgetary problems will
led before the Senate District

'trict budgetary problems will
led before the Senate District
l. OPERATIONS Subcommittee be-
ginning Wednesday or Thursday
of this week, it was announced to-
day by Senator Elmer Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, CHI. irman Of
the group.
Although it is expected that
total appropriations in the $45,-
100000 supply measure will be
altered but little, it is believed
possible some of the legislative
riders written into it under the
sponsorship of the House Subcom-
mittee which handled the bill may
be amended
Riders Protected
It is known that officials OF
some Of the departments of the
District government as well as rep
reSentatives of emp1oye groups
and civic and business organiza-
tions plan to protest against the
following legislative changes ap-
proved by the House: Limiting pay
of per diem workers to the time &C
tually worked, transfer of 16 play
grounds from the Playground De-
partment to the Community
Center Division of the School De-
partment, and prohibiting school
teachers from doing clerical work.
The possibility that these pro-
tests may be sympathetically re-
ceived by the Senate subcommit-
tee is seen in expressions by mem
berS of the subcommittee to the
effect that they oppose sponsor
ing proposals which really should
be handled by the legislative COM
mittees.
~. Changes Opposed
One member of the Senate ap-
preparations group said:
''My only desire is to give the
people of Washington what
they want. 1 do not want to
get mixed up with the District
prOble m other than those
strictly Of an appropriations
nature. MOnkeying with these
legislative features is out Of the
scope of the appropriations COM
mittee, and 1 think that should
be left for the consideration Of
the regular District Committee,
under whose province such mat
tiers come"
However, there are certain
phases of legislation which the
subcommittee will be compelled
to consider.
One of these is the situation re.
garding the tuberculosis SAM
toria and Gallinger Hospital.
When brought into the House, the
appropriations bill provided that
the control of these institutions
be transferred from the Board of
Public Welfare to the Health
Officer, and the money for operat-
ing them was transferred to the
Health Officer.
During House consideration,
however, the provision trans
ferring the control was knocked
out on a point Of order, but the
provision transferring the funds
was left in the bill. The Senate
must rectify this situation.
