Chairman of House Group
Declares They Fail
to Cooperate.

Complaint was made yesterday by
Chairman Palmisano Of the House Dis
trict Committee that he is not receiv-
ing proper cooperation from the
Commissioners.
II want to give the people Of Wash
ington what they want" he declared,
but have a difficult time finding out
when I can depend on the Com
missioners.'
As an illustration. Mr.. Palmisano
explained, he suggested to the Com
missioners several months ago that
they prepare bill which would divorce
both the Budget Bureau and Congress
from control over District finances.
Il have yet to receive the draft of
that bill, or to get any explanation
from the Commissioners why it has
not been prepared" he said. THE
Commissioners, as we'll as many civic
organizations, have repeatedly COM
planned about the way the Budget Bu-
reau and Congress dictate to the Dis
trict as to how its tax revenues shall
be spent. And yet, when I suggest a
solution to the problem and offer to
sponsor legislation that will bring
about a change, I fail to get any
cooperation"
Mr.. Palmisano said he wanted to
give the Commissioners exclusive con-
troll over District fiscal and budget
matters, and let them be responsible
only to the President, who appoints
them, for any mistakes Under his
plan. not only the Budget Bureau, but
Congress would lose control over mu-
nicipal appropriations.
Congress, however, would have to
determine the amount of the Federal
payment toward District expenses" he
added.
Mr.. Palmisano also pointed out the
Commissioners never attend the weekly
meetings OF his committee. Instead, he
said, they send representative-Cor-
poration Counsel Ewood H. Seal.
Representative Norton, Democrat,
Of New Jersey, made a similar COM
plant when she was chairman Of the
committee.

Community Chest problems, the two
day conference Of 400 delegates from
l5C cities, under the auspices of the
Community Mobilization for Human
Needs, came to a close late yesterday
at the Mayfower Hotel.
Questions faced by the organized
charity and welfare agencies because
Of the business slump, and a look
into the future occupied the con-
ference at luncheon and afternoon
session.

wich, Conn, former president of the
Rockefeller Foundation, was elected
honorary and acting president" of
Community Chests and Councils, Inc,
at the annual business meeting of
this organization. He succeeds Still
man F. Westbrook of Hartford, Conn.
Social works obligation to inform
the public about damages done to
human lives by the depression was
discussed by DR.. Elmer r. Arm, presi-
dent of the Dayton Bureau of Com
munity Service. This is particularly
important" he emphasized, "in these
days when people have become in
sensitized by overwhelming economic
and social problems"
Ira v. Hiscock, president of the New
Haven Community Chest, declared:
I'VE must learn how to plan and in
vent for social issues in a manner
which will compare with our ability
TO plan and invent in mechanical
fields" He pointed out that the
average city spends annually for
health, hospital and other social work
about $50 per capita. In some New
England cities, the expenditure rises
as high as $42 per capita. "Yet few
communities" he said, have even as
sembled the facts to arrive at such a
figure, although such information is
oaslc to a portrayal Of their total
program"
At the luncheon session, leaders
of round-table conferences reported
briefly.
Fred Hoke Of Indiana declared "a
public welfare program cannot achieve
its purpose unless there is general sup
port of the program by the public"
He urged trained workers in private
agencies to- contact public agencies
and give the benefit of their experience.

Of the American Public Welfare Asso-

Little Malcolm emerged from his
shell at the Zoo late yesterday and
took his first bow. whereupon he wob-
bled hastily back to his mamma s
wings, camera-shy, mike frightened
and spotlight-struck.
Malcolm had never seen so many
people before. You could have bowled
him over with a pin feather. Out
front were news photographers. as
sisted by amateurs. radio announcers
and technicians, Federal scientists,
Zoo fans. agile small boys and
reporters.
The newborn penguin took one
look and tried to climb back into his
shell, which was broken In two This,
however, was his own doing. and his
parents indicated as much. They
pushed him behind them with their
beaks, as much as to say, well, son,
you've had your fling, and I guess
we'll have to shield you now"
Gives Announcer . Break.
Outside the penguins' air-condi-
toned cage, just prior to Malcolm's 8
appearance. the radio announcer
sought with puns and things like
that to hold his audience until NAL
colin should see fit to forsake his egg.
The egg was tough, and Malcolm had
only his head through the shell. The
radio announcer hoped Malcolm would
oblige before he had to speak more
than a couple of hundred thousand
words OF crack by crack" description.
It was big "break" that Malcolm
gave the announcer when he rent his
shell just before they cut him (the
announcer) of the air. The photogra-
pliers as well as the announcer had
waited long. The camera mems tri-
pods slipped, their flash bulbs failed
or went of too soon, and while they
hddled with gadgets little Malcolm
darted back to maternal cover.
One photographer, who had been
waiting siz hours, kept speaking in a
monotone, talking to himself, no doubt
since heavy plate glass separated him
from the penguin colony:
Come on, mama penguin, come
on We're not going to hurt the
little penguin; mama penguin, come

The Connecticut lawyer who will

net in January, said the island
penitentiary in San Francisco Bay
Is one of the strongest links in
what has become "the largest and
finest prison system in the world"
"Alcatraz has three points that
are important" he explained in an
Interview. First, the inmates can't
escape; second, they know it; third,
inmates of other Federal prisons
know they'll be sent to Alcatraz
when they make trouble.
All the Federal prisoners have
neard OF Alcatraz, and none of them
wants to go there. The result has
oeen lar better discipline in all
Federal penal institutions"
Aid to Morale.
The close quarters and restricted
life OF prisoners make it possible. it
was explained, for two or three
trouble makers" to upset the morale
OF an entire institution. But when
IL men were sent from Atlanta Pen
itentiary to Alcatraz after a mess
hall riot, morale in the former prison
Improved quickly.
Mr.. Cummings said Alcatraz,
which houses such notorious pris-
oners as AL Capone, Machine Gun"
Kelly, DOC" Barker and Alvin Kar-
pis, has these attributes of a good
prison: 1t is safe, sanitary, we'll
