Budget
Continued From First Page

while increases in per diem and un-
classified employees is $4,000.
A proposed increase of s423,1
in the water fund is mainly COM
posed of overtime, $l9O,00O: per
diem increases, $4,000; replacing
and cleaning mains, $125 900; capi-
tai outlay. $3l5,000, and a decrease
of 100000 in investments.
Explains Changes.
In explaining the changes in the
consolidated budget, Mr. Fowler said
that District appropriation acts
have just grown up a catch-all
without order, and with a number
of blind spots, difficult to follow and
hard to comprehend.
The proposed rearrangement
and consolidation is not in any sense
a reorganization of the District of
Columbia-it merely follows the
present organization We cannot be
too appreciative of the untiring ef-
forts of the Bureau of the Budget
in working out the details Of this
revision.
In submitting this plan of a re-
vision, the Commissioners feel that
all of the objections of the con-
troller general have been met. There
are a great number of advantages
that may be listed in favor of this
revision, in addition to a clearer
understanding of the appropriation
act itself by our citizens.
Number of Items Cut.
"It will reduce the number of
appropriation items from 215 in the
1914 act to 95 in the 1945 budget,
and it will reduce the number of
general provisions from Al to o.
This does not mean that there will
be any lessening in the degree OF
detailed control by Congress over
the hundreds of objects of expendi-
lures comprising the District budget
Each Office, agency or institution
and each function and service will
continue to be justified in detail as
heretofore This revision will pro-
mote more orderly budgeting, elm
mate at least one-third of the pres
ent bookkeeping operations and IA
cilitate comprehensive grasp of
the entire District budget, which is
not now possible on account of the
extraordinarily large number of
items arranged without any order
whatsoever
The estimates of department
heads forecast a budget of SGT ,230.-
265, but the details of the cuts or
other changes made by the Commis-
sioners in the requests of the depart
ment heads will not be known until
the President submits the budget to
Congress in January.

Dodging ladders, lumber, paint
and paper, Mrs. Harry Hopkins is
busily supervising the remodeling of
an old eight-room Georgetown house
at 3340 N street NV, which will
become the Hopkins home when
they move from the White House.
In announcing they planned to
leave the White House, where they
have occupied a suite since their
marriage there in July, 1912, Mr..
Hopkins said congressional critics
HAD been bowling too much about
his living at the Executive Mansion
since 1899. Anyway, he said, his
health is sufficiently improved now
so he can travel back and forth.
But, judging from the looks of
things, it's going to be a little while
yet before the Hopkinses can leave
1900 Pennsylvania avenue and set
up housekeeping on N street.
A ladder blocked the doorway to-
day as painter carefully matched
the door frame to the white shutters
and wrought iron grillwork on the
windows of the gray house.
Scarlet paint shone sticky-fresh
on the wide-board door-propped
open to,reveal hallway paneled by
bamboo stripes.

Nye Charges Writers
With Distortion Of His
Remarks on Fascism

Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota charged in the Senate YES
terday that certain newspapers, COL
umnlsts and radio commentators
distorted his remarks at press con-
ference November II in Chicago into
smear" campaign against him.
He declared they twisted his re-
marks about the future of Fascism
to imply sympathy for Fascism on
his part.
He named the Communist Daily
Worker, PM, the Chicago Sun. the
Chicago Daily News, the New York
Post and individuals such as Edgar
Mowrer, Dorothy Thompson. Walter
Winchell and other radio and news
paper commentators"
Senator Nye said that in the Chi
cago interview, replying to a ques-
ton whether he considered Fascism
essentially militaristic and aggres-
slve, he replied: Not more essenti-
ally aggressive and militaristic than
have been other forms of govern
ment we have known in this world. )"
Asked if he believed Fascism would
endure after the war, he said his
answer was:
IF Germany and Italy want that
form Of government, then under our
policy of determination they
should have Fascism. 1t is hard for
me to believe that the people of
Germany and Italy would tolerate
more OF it after what Fascism has
brought to them. Maybe the United
Nations will have to afford safe
guards that will insure the people
OF Germany and Italy an honest
chance to express their choice in
reaching their determination.
After Senator Nye finished, Sena-
tor Overton, Democrat, of Louisiana
arose to pay a personal tribute to
him, saying: This body needs no
justification for his patriotism and
high character"

 New York, March. 3.-Dorothy Goes at IA is a greater figure skater than was Sonia Henie at the same stage of development, according to Willy Boeckl, four-tine world cham piorl, European titleholder for six years, former world championship judge and leading authority. and author on the sport.
 La Henie was champion of the world at IA.
 It was Miss Henie, responsible for the boom in figure skating. who started the smiling, blue-eyed Miss Coos on her climb to a posi- ton where she now is spoken of in the same breath as the Queen of the Ice. It was in December, 1887, that the youngster saw Sonia in her first picture and began talking skating to her parents.
 Boeckl Is the only one who has watched both ballerinas through each period of their skating lives.
 Boeckl believes Dorothy's achieve. ments are more remarkable in that she is skating in events unheard of in Miss Henie'S time as Q competi. tor,

 Dorothy is a little more practical and assures that she has her prob-- lens, particularly with @ maneuver known to the trade as double flip,

STRAND

 Opening Tuesday, Boom Town" a thrilling and spectacular product of the screen will again tug at the heart strings-vivid. full of fast &C., ton and scenes of the oil fields that will bring home a touch of romance when Clark Gable (now with the U. s. A. F) falls in love and marries the ever favorite Claudette Colbert thru no fault of Spencer Tracy who succeeded in breaking up Gables af- fair with Teddy Lamar and brought him back to his first sweet heart Miss Colbert.
 This picture took months in the making and to more than thirty filming siteS-all interesting. Love- gushing oil wells-bucking mules and four big stars make this a picture worth seeing once-twice or several times. Something new every time.
 With these famous and well loved stars comes. ''ittle Nellie Kelly" in the form of that young and intrig- ing Judy Garland.
 To see and hear Judy Garland in her Hitting Irish tunes is well worth the price.
 This is a George M. Cohan hit 'nuf sed. Who doesn't thrill at one of Cohan's songs?
 Little Nellie Kelly" sparkles with songs. dances and Irish cops-the pride of the town.
 George Murphy of the nimble feet heads the Police parade and his voice in harmony with 0arland,s makes one want to laugh and dance. for 1t warns the cookies of ones heart. be he Irish or any other na. tiOnality. It's bright. witty and splendid and the supporting cast in- dude Douglas MacPhail and lovable Charles Winniger.

STATE

Capacity attendance at War. ner's State theater yesterday mark ed the opening performances of the sensational picture "Hitler's Chil- dren". Based on an amazing and factual account of the educational perversions in which the German youth of today is being drilled, the new film presents a romantic dram atized version of his account in 8 manner that promises to electrify every audience with its revelations.
 Tim Holt, Bonita Granville, Kent Smith, Otto Kruger and H. B. War; ner had the cast of this unique offering, inspired by George Ziem- CTS best-selling Education For Death. Smith plays the head of the American colony school in Ber- lin and Miss Granville that of his American pupil and later his assist ant. with young Holt as a German American youth imbued with NaziS tdeas-ideas, however, which do not keep him from falling in love with the girl.
 As Hitler's "Herronvolk" teachings become more widespread. the girl, because of her German descent, is taken from the school and sent to a labor camp, while Holt, now an officer of the Gestapo, interferes with Smiths efforts to rescue her.
 Matters reach a crisis when the girl, unable to endure the barbarity of the NaI scheme of things any longer, runs away from the camp. The boy, held partly responsible for her actions, is forced to supervise the hogging to which she is sen- tenced as pulnishment-but he rebels at this cruelty. and is himself sen. fenced to death. How the boy seeks at the last moment to redeem him. self and warn his former associates of their folly, provides the powerful of this sensational offering.
 Simple as the story is, this very simplicity helps to make this picture an authentic and an intensely moving screen document. IL He. veals. far more cleverly than any written account could do, the bar. baric. ruthless theology that pro. claims the achievement of the Nazi masters. It is . film that every American should see for its very real entertainment value and its brave, story romance.
 "The Big Street" with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball is the sec. ofld big hit of the program.

Last year she stepped into the National Junior race and won going away, finishing her years work by acquir- ing the National Junior Pairs title.
 Boeckl believes little Miss Coos is ready for the Seniors, and she will make her bid for that cham pionship in the Nationals, the finals of which are scheduled for Madi- son Squire Garden, March 8.
 Boeckl believes she will have no trouble cutting her name on the winners ice.
 ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL
 There will never be fair method of comparison because Miss Henie is through as a competitor, content now to cash in on her reputation with the easier and more entertain ing style.
 Miss Coos, a high schol sopho. more, is just another little Amer ican girl at the giggle stage. She has her problems with French. Eng fish, Algebra, and History at Pro- fessional Children's High School on Broadway. Hers Is the problem of Suzy Hockett of Des Moines, of Mary Murphy of Wichita, wonder what I'll study in college?"
