House Members
Expect NewCut
In DC. Budget
Highway and Water
Funds Face Further
Reductions in 1914

Further slashing Of the District
budget for the fiscal year beginning
next July to figure below the $751;
344.664 recommended by the Budget
Bureau was predicted by House
members today, some of whom have
taken most active part in District
legislation and appropriations.
Drastic reductions in the highway
and water funds, which have already
been cut approximately s966,000 in
comparison with appropriations, is
considered likely by those in closest
touch with District appropriations.
They promise, however, that the
District budget will receive careful
consideration.
The District appropriation bill
probably will not be taken up in
subcommittee until April.
Need for Police Reduced.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee and others. on
the committee are disposed to ac-
cept the budget recommendation,
which reduces from 200 to 100 the
number of additional police request
ed for the wartime Capital.
They emphasize that the curtail-
ment of automobile traffic due to
the OPA ban on pleasure driving
in large measure offsets the need
for a larger police force to protect
the increased esponsibilities of the
National Capital to protect the
greatly increased population.
House leaders expressed their de-
sire to economic on non-War eX-
penditures and to go as easy as pos
sible on District taxpayers whom.
they say, have already been heavily
burdened on account of the concep-
tration of war work in the Capital
City.
Chairman Randolph, who has
previously urged substantial in
creases in the police force, after
comforting with other members to-
day said, "The shifting picture in
the war drive, accentuated by the
curtailment of automobile traffic and
decentralization of Government ac-
tivities, is doubtless the reason why
a much smaller number of rookie
policemen than requested by the
District Commissioners several
months ago seems practical during
the next fiscal year.
Proposal Cut in Half.
"The subject will certainly have
most careful study by the subcom-
mittee on District appropriations. 1t
is imperative, of course, that the
congested population of our wartime
Capital should have efficient and
adequate police personnel"
The estimate submitted in the
budget provides for a total strength
OF approximately 1900 officers and
men in the Police Department.
District Commissioners had asked
for 200 new policemen in the s4,417,-
900 fund for the department. The
budget reduced the amount s211,65O,
which cut the amount for new
policemen in half.

School and Welfare
Farley Scheduled for
Pupil Lunch Fund
Lonhom Act Money
To Be Sought From
FWA to Continue Plan

School officers and representa-
tives of the Board of Public We'll.
fare are expected to confer later
this week on their joint appeal for
Lanham Act funds to continue the
school lunch program after Janu-
ary 81.
Because Of the withdrawal of
Work Projects Administration per-
sonnet from the central kitchen on
that date, the serving of ABS hot
lunches daily to "necessitous" chill
dren in So public and parochial
schools must stop unless the Fed
eral Works Agency will allot money
for its continuance until June.
The officials also are expected to
discuss plans to continue both the
penny" milk program and hot
lunches next year. The usual "spon-
sors' fund" for both items was left
out Of the Board of Public We'll
fare budget submitted yesterday
It has been indicated that officials
expect to plead at budget hearings
before Congress for some item to be
included in the appropriation for
the District to permit continuance
of these projects.
More than $4,000 half pints of
milk are now served daily in 88
public and parochial schools. Some
children get milk with their lunch,
some get 1T separately in the morn
ing, and some children get milk at
both times.
Parents next week will be per-
mitted for the first time to take a
hand In the program, beginning to
pay penny day for the milk to
help the District bear the cost.
Part of the cost Is borne by the
Agricultural Marketing Administra-
ton.

Streetcar Fare
Cut Is Pushed
AT PUG Hearinq
ClC Council Demands
Slash in Price of
Tokens and Passes

Demands for Z heavy reduction in
streetcar and bus token fares and in
the weekly pass price were placed
before the Public tilities Commission
today by the CIO Industrial Union
Council. The commission opened q
hearing for reconsideration on its
recent denial of petitions for sale of
tokens at three for Is cents instead
Of six for SO cents.
The new proposal was filed by
Sidney r. Katz, secretary treasurer
of the Maryland and D. c. Council,
who declared increasing net return
Of the Capital Transit Co. war
ranted "a complete and thorough
going re-examination of the basic
structure of streetcar and bus fares
in the District and all other factors
which go into the makeup OF the
fare"
He said the council proposed that
the fares be reduced to at least the
old rate Of four tokens for 80 cents
and the weekly pass reduced in
price from SIPS to 81. He argued
that the net income of the company
during 194l showed an increase of
AL per cent as compared with net
income for 1896. He insisted such
figures alone would seem to make 1t
in public interest for the commission
to order full -fledged rate case. -
The demand for rehearing of the
three-for-a-quarter token proposal
came from the Fort Davis Citizens
Association. The principal argu-
ments were handled by John H.
Connaughton, representing the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations,
with Milo H. Brinkley as one of the
first witnesses.
Much of the morning session was
devoted to final statements as to
just what the company and civic
representatives had agreed upon at
pre-hearing conference. Citizens
spokesmen maintain the six-for- so
cents rate is unjustly discriminatory,
because there are persons in the
low-income groups who may have
quarter to spend for tokens, but not
assmuch as half dollar.

Byrd 'sCommittee
Will Probe Use Of
j. ). Cars Next Week
Seeks to Determine
Whether OfficioI Autos
Run Personal Erronds

Complete investigation Of how
Government agencies control the
use of Federally owned cars as
signed to them and reports of mis-
use of official cars will be considered
at a hearing planned for next week
by the Joint Committee on Reduc-
ton of Non Essential Federal Ex-
penditures with Senator Byrd as
chairman. ... ~,
A committee spokesman said the
Budget Bureau. General Accounting
Office, OPA, ssand ODT have been
advised to prepare Immediately any
information they have on how the
use of Govexnment-owned cars is
checked by the various Government
departments and agencies. Other
interested agencies will be invited to
present their views at the hearing,
he said.
The Byrd Committee will seek to
establish two facts, the spokesman
explained. First, what the prob
lens of car control are and whether
or not the various agencies are
keeping rigid checks on the use OF
their cars. .-<<Second, to establish
whether the agencies have sufficient
authority to hold down use of their
cars to absolutely essential needs"
and, if not, what legislation will
be necessary to give them this au-
thority. n
". The commGtess spAkesman ex-
paainsd that an effort @llsbe made
to determine if Government-own
cars are being used for personal
reasons. such as wining and dining
expeditions and shopping" and
what means can be taken for an
overall standardized reporting of
car use. ~
He said the General Accounting
Office has informed the committee
that it is prepared to report scat
tered cases of misuse of Federal
owned cars" And that other agen-
cies say they are prepared to do
the same.
At present the Byrd Committee is
compiling information on a uues-
tlonnaire sent out to all Government
agencies which requires detailed
facts regarding use of Government
owned cars. A similar QUESTIONABLE
sent out by the committee last wear
was reported to Congress In May
1t showed on final analysis that
Federal cars travelled 21200O, 900
miles in the 16 months ending Oc-
tober 81, 1912.
Meanwhile, 1t was learned from
Frank L. Barton of the Budget Bu-
reau that plans for standardized car
reporting by Government agencies
are being worked out as the result of
conference held Saturday at the
Budget Bureau.
According to the Byrd committee
spokesman. the missionaries on
car use sent out to the various agen-
cies this year ask for more detailed
information than the forms used in
the committees probing last year.
The latest QUESTIONABLE asks full
Information regarding the number
OF trucks and cars owned Tor rented)
and operated, cost of operation.
miles Travelled, amount of gasoline
used, number of tires, names of
chauffeurs and their salaries, and
the names of the officials to whom
the cars are assigned.
After the hearings next week the
Byrd committee plans to lay a de-
tailed report of Federal-owned car
use before Congress.
1t was pointed out that all Fed
eral-operated vehicles now bear the
United States Government identi-
f1cation tag and shield. An order to
this effect was issued in June, l941,
by the Budget Bureau.
