New Fireboat, 6 Engines,
Asked for District

Six new pieces of re-fghting ap-
paratus and new fireboat of mod
ern design are provided in the 1912
budget estimates for the District
Fire Department.
The new equipment consists of a
combination hose wagon, four
pumping engines and an aerial
hook-and-ladder truck. The total
cost of this apparatus was esti-
mated at s59,500. For this year Con-
gress appropriated $50,000 for the
purchase of five pieces of apparatus.
The appropriation recommended
for the fireboat is $4,000. The
Budget Bureau authorizes the Com
missioners to use this money for the
construction of a new boat or for
the purchase of used vessel which
could be altered and made fit for
fire-flghting purposes on the Poto-
mac and Anacostia Rivers.
Provision of a DieseI-poWered fire.
boat was recommended last year by
the special Fire Survey Board, head
ed by former Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Patrick H. Tansey,
which held that such a boat would
prove much less costly in operation
and require the services of fewer
firemen. The Survey Board also rec
commended consultations of various
engine and truck companies of the
department, program now being
put into effect.
The total recommended for the
Fire Department is $2,443. .045, an in
crease of $82,450 over this years
funds.

Budget Would
Open Asphalt
Testinq Plant

The Districts 100000 highway
asphalt testing laboratory at Second
and Bryant streets NE, built in
1885 but never used because Of a
congressional prohibition, would be
placed in service for the first time
in the coming fiscal year under the
terms of the 1912 budget as sent
to Congress today.
The budget would eliminate from
existing law the language in former
appropriation acts which banned
use of municipal funds for operation
of the plant. While this prohibition
was retained in the supply bills, the
plant constituted a white elephant
on the hands of the taxpayers.
Although no affirmative provision
for operation of the plant is stated
in the budget, District officials said
funds for it's use would be available
in the Highway Department con-
struction funds, if the ban remained
out of the prospective bill.
District officials have maintained
they would be able to make many
more tests Of highway materials
with the result of a lower unit cost,
than under the existing system
whereby selected materials are
tested at the United States Bureau
of Standards, with bills sent to the
municipal government.
Evening star., 1941-01-08
Army and Navy Needs

The Army funds provide for the
training and maintenance of force
of men increasing from 250,000 in
June, 1910, to 100000 in 1912
equipped with the most modern
devices of motorized and mechanical
warfare. The Navy estimates con-
tinue the construction of our over
all Navy and contemplate the dou-
bling of naval personnel. There is
provision for a great increase in
the number of Army and Navy
planes and for training pilots, tech
nicians and ground crews.
Behind the lines a whole new
defense industry is being built with
the financial support of the Federal
Government. One hundred and
twenty-five new plants are under
contract; more are planned.
In submitting these recommended
tions, I have not covered the full
requirements of the civilian train
ing program. At present, surveys
are under way which will provide a
basis for transmitting an estimate
of funds needed for the extension of
this essential defense activity. In
the current fiscal year, over a mil
lion men and women are included in
the various programs of apprentice
training, vocational training in trade
schools and engineering colleges,
work-experience shops and pilot
training.
: Expenditures under the defense
Evening star., 1941-01-08
Sofest Bonds in World

Investors are fully aware of this
fact. The bonds of the United States
Government are the safest securi-
ties in the world because they are
backed by the best asset in the
world-the productive capacity of
the American people. Our tax bur-
den is still moderate compared to
that of most other countries.
1t should be borne in mind that
our national debt results from wars
and the economic upheavals fol-
lowing war. These conditions are
not OF our own making. They
have been forced upon us. The
national debt of almost all nations
would be far lower if competitive
armaments had not existed during
the past quarter century. If this
war should be followed, as 1 hope
1t will, by peace in a world of good
neighbors, then the complete elimi-
nation of competitive armaments
will become possible. Only in such
world can economic stability be
restored.
If high level of economic activity
can be maintained during the de-
tense period and-what will be a
more difficult taSk-maintained in
the post-defense period, then the
nscal needs can be readily met.
The Budget of the United States
presents our national program. 1t
is a preview of our work plan,
forecast of things to come. It charts
the course of the Nation.
The necessity for loading the
present budget with armament ex-
penditures is regretted by everv
American. A wry turn of fate places
this burden of defense on the backs
OF peace-loving people.
We can meet the demands of
armaments because we are a people
with the will to defend and the
means to defend. The boundaries
of our productive capacity have
never been set.
The whole program set forth in
this budget has been prepared at a
time when no man could see all
the signposts ahead. One marker
alone stands out all down the road
That marker carries not so much
an admonition as a command to
oe1end our democratic way of life.

Hopes for 4-Year Plan
For Fairgrounds Killed

The 1912 District budget brought
only another DISAPPOINTMENT to the
Districts playground authorities
today.
Requests had been made by the
Office of National Capital Parks.
for approximately $125,000 as the
first installment of a four-year pro-
gram Of playground and recreation
center development, and the District
Community Center and Playground
Department had requested $4,000
for similar purposes. Both amounts
were to have been utilized to develop
with play facilities park land al
ready in public ownership for years
and land bought recently under the
park, parkway and playground pur-
chase program of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The s1250OO item was refused,
it was revealed today, and the S50,000
item was pared to $4,000, or the
same amount which has been ap-
propriated for the last few years for
playground improvement.
Thus the entire weight of develop
ing the play areas of the Nations
Capital will be thrown again this
year on the shoulders of the park
C. G. c. camps, whose ability to
bring play areas to full stature as
such is limited by lack of skilled
labor and money for materials with
which to work.
