Hearings on Record
D. {. Supply Bill
Lotest Requests Would
Lift TotoI $474,000
Above House-Voted Sum
BY DON S. WARREN.

Hearings on the Districts record
breaking supply bill for the next
fiscal year, beginning July l., were
being rushed to completion today
before the O'Mahoney subcommit-
tee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. There were prospects
the bill would be brought before the
Senate for action within a few days.
Latest requests of city officials, in
Guiding supplemental items for
warded by the Budget Bureau, would
carry the total $474,000 above the
record sum of S68, ,585 900 approved
by the House, to a new high of
$50 ,059 900.
Commissioner Young estimated
that with approval of all the Com
missioners' requests, the District
still would have balances at the end
of the next fiscal year-of $911 900
in the general fund, $3.50, 300 in the
highway fund and $155,00O in the
water fund. This would be due
largely to wartime restrictions on
capital Improvements and to labor
shortages.
Anticipated Items.
The bulk of the additional funds
sought by the Commissioners over
the House total consists of items
which were anticipated but had not
passed through the Budget Bureau
when the Coffee subcommittee OF
the House was considering the 1945
bill, officials said. The Commission
ers are seeking restoration to the
bill of only a half dozen items,
amounting to S60,250, which were
rejected by the House
The question of fiscal equity fol-
District taxpayers was raised in the
Senate subcommittee hearings yes

crat, of Louisiana. He has fought for
years for payment by the United
States of more equitable share OF
District costs, emphasizing that as
the budget total rises the lump sum

Senator Overton yesterday pointed
to the heavy portion of the District
area which is held by the United
States and is therefore tax free and
to the great amounts of water the

Postwar Job Problem

Third Of Servicemen
Never Hod Permanent
Work, Agencies Told

Although many thousands Of serv.
icemen will return to their old jobs
after the war, there still will be q
great postwar employment problem
because nearly one-third of the men
in service never have held perma-
nent jobs, Col. John N. Andrews, in
charge of the selective service sys-
TENS postwar activities, last night
told the Alexandria Council Of So
cial Agencies.
Speaking at an open. meeting in
the George Washington High School,
Col Andrews pointed out that some
Of the mistakes resulting from hasty
rehabilitation after the World War
could have been avoided by careful
advance planning. He said the rec
ords indicate that planning for de-
mobilization was not started until
one month after the armistice. This
time, however, a careful study OF
the problem was begun early. 1t has
now been going on for over year,
he said.
Discussing rehabilitation, he said
that "in most cases disabled veterans
make very satisfactory workers be-
cause their guidance and training
make them particularly well fitted
for the jobs they will fill."
Servicemen Are Young.
COL Andrews pointed out that the
men in the armed forces are young
men, and thus absorb training
easily.
In discussing the educational op-
portunities open to veterans, Col,
Andrews warned "a challenging pro-
gram would have to be developed II
the returning veterans are to be
satisfied to remain in school"

forward step in opening the problem
to discussion, and while stressing the
