S65,703,280
For DC. Backed
BySenate Unit
Supply Bill Total
$7l5,200 Above
Sum House Voted

Without change, the supply bill
for the District for the fiscal year
beginning July was approved to-
day by the Senate Appropriations
Committee as written by the
oMahoney subcommittee.
1t calls for a total outlay for the
1946 fiscal year of $65, 5,7o3 ,280. This
is net increase of $715,200 over the
total passed by the House.
The report of the O'Mahoney sub
committee shows, however, that the
total proposed in the Senate bill
still is $1,540,925 below the budget
estimates as transmitted to Con-
gress and $4,124.68S below appro-
priations for this fiscal year-but
appropriations yet are to be made
for basic increases in pay of Dis
trict employees or for continuation
Of the war overtime pay levels.
Two committee amendments are
TO be offered on the floor instead
Of being incorporated in the bill as
reported, because otherwise a ques-
ton might be raised as to legisla-
ton on an appropriation bill.
S25, 200 for Concerts.
One of these amendments appro-
PIRATES $25 900 for the use of the
National Symphony Orchestra Asso-
citation to permit full program of
symphony concerts for school chill
dren,. which. this year were greatly
reduced because of failure to raise
sufficient sustaining fund.
The other Is to make possible the
payment of witness fees for witnesses
in Municipal Court, at the court
house, instead of requiring witnesses
to 90 to the District Building for
their pay. Witnesses in other courts
are paid at the courthouse.
Members of the OMahoney sub
committee are to meet in special
session at 10:30 am. Wednesday to
consider the report of three Fed
adoption of fixed formula for the
annual adjustment of the size of the
Federal payment toward expenses
of the National Capital.
The formula recommended by John |
F. Feeney- and Harold E. Merrick
OF the General Accounting Once
and Thomas j. Scott of the Justice
Department would measure the an
nual payment in the same ratio to
total general fund revenues other
than the Federal payment as the
land owned in the District by the
Federal Government bears to the
total land area of the District.
Would Double U. S. Payment.
For the next fiscal year, if Con-
greSs adopts this formula, the Fed
eral payment would be increased
from 5000, 900 to about $4,000, ,Oo0.
Libealization of various sections
Of the bill as it. came from the
House will include additional sums
for the school building program,
branch Libraries. additional engi-
neers, traffic lights and parking
meters for the Office Of the traffic
director: a more adequate staff for
the new kitchen at Gallinger Hos
pital and extra inspectors for the
department of inspection.
The Senate is expected to act on
the bill tomorrow or later in the
week when the national legislative !
program permits time.

D. {. Suffrage
Urged as Aid
ToCongress
Mrs. Stone Tells
Hearing Of Need for
Modern Government
BY NORMAN A. KAHI.

Congress could tighten its legis-
lative burden by granting suffrage
to the citizens Of the District, Mrs.
Harold A. Stone, representing the
National League Of Women Voters,
testified today before the Joint
Committee to re-organize Congress.
Mrs. Stone told the group the
simplest time-saving action would
be creation Of q joint committee to
handle District affairs.
THE real solution, for the Dis
trict as well as for Congress, she
said, must come through the grant,
ing Of suffrage to District citizens,
creating a modern city Govern
ment with sufflcient powers dele
gated to 1t to function as a city
normally does. although Congress
should retain a veto so that 1t can
step in whenever Federal interests
are at stake"
Urges Higher Salaries.
The witness said her organiza-
ton has long advocated such leg
islatiou.
Mrs. Stone also urged public sup
port for higher congressional sal
aries after the need for wartime
stabilization has passed" She said
the present $4,000 a year salary is
patiently insufficient to maintain a
family in two domiciles," and that
there Is no question Congressman
are ill-paid for the demands of their
jobs"
Members Of Congress, she said,
are in the most unenviable posi-
ton of having to set their own sal
aries"
This can be done fairly and with
out embarrassment only If the citi-
zens make specific suggestions and
support them," the witness said. She
did not comment on the $2,500 an
nual tax exempt allowance for ex-
penses which the House recently
voted for each of its members.
Would Plan Hearings.
Other recommendation made by
Mrs. Stone included:
Federal information centers in
populous localities to relieve mem
bers OF Congress of some of the
errands demanded by their con-
stituents.
Adequate personal stats for mem
bers and large central stan OF ex-
perts.
A modernized system Of reporting
committee hearings so that men,
bers can more easily grasp the issues
on which they are voting
Better planning OF hearings. Citi-
zens who appear before committees,
she said, should be granted re
spectful hearings"
Open Session Friday.
There Is no reason why witnesses
should be treated like defendants
on trial" she added.
Chairman La Toilette called an
executive session Of the Joint Com
rnittee following the appearance of
Mrs. Stone. DR.. George w. Caiyer,
Capitol physician. and Ernest L.
Kendall, principal Of the Capitol
Page School, will testify before
closed session of the group tomor-
row.
Witnesses at the next public meet
ing Of the committee at 10 Am. Fri
day will be Senator Burton, Re-
publican, Of Ohio and Mrs. Horace
Flack, director of legislative refer
,ence for the Legislative Council of
Maryland. DR.. Howard Piquet. ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Interim
Commission on Food and Agricul-
ture, will testify during an executive

Maryland U. Students
To Present CHARGES
To DR.. Byrd Today

The IS University of Maryland
students who last week issued a
report charging the institutions s
set-up invited almost complete ad-
ministrative control OF the exclusion
of the faculty and students" will
present specific charges to President
H. C. Byrd this afternoon at q con-
ference in. DR.. Byrd's ofice.
Backing the students, Thomas P.
Monahan, sociology instructor, said
that "an unhealthy contagion of
fear paralyzes the campus" but
that only the students are acting.
Mine out of 10 OF the faculty
members are in sympathy with the
students. but are afraid to speak
out" he said.
Top Students Protest.
Mr.. Monahan said the students
involved in the dispute are among
the most intellectual at the univer-
sity, adding that no one as yet has
gone on record as opposing the prin-
ciples for which they stand.
These are the basic principles Of
democracy, freedom of expression,
democratic self-government and the
removal Of tyrannical and arbi-
trary controls" he said.
Referring to Presidents Byrd's
proposed Americanization program,
Mr.. Monahan said students want
to see a revival of democratic be-
havior on the campus, which they
are convinced does not exist under
the present administration.
Want to Live Democratically.
"They prefer to be permitted to
live democratically first, rather than
to be taught democracy from text
books" Mr.. Monahan said.
I Mr.. Monahan, one Of the first fac
ulty members to speak for the stu
dents cause, said he came to the
university last fall on years con-
tract. He said he has notified the
institution that he will not return
next fall.
while this is q student move
ment," Mr.. Monahan said, "it is
hoped the faculty can equally well
present its case. They are not con-
cerned with personalities, but are
gravely, concerned about the edu-
cational system. They see the uni
versity suffering because of the
present educational policy"

Post- War Finance Program
 To Cost City Ten Million

City authorities have drawn up tentative plan of financing post war projects on a basis of a six year program estimated to cost ap- proXimately ten million dollars.
 Mayor John s. Monagan yester- day held meeting with represen- tatiye group of the city to outline the program as designed by the city plan Commission and its engineer. the city controller and city budget director, as well as other authorities.
 About 50 per cent, or $4,560 OO0, Of the proposed total cost is planned for by subsequent bond issues while the remainder is to be financed by revenue derived from cash surplus, reserve fund special assessments and funds from other governments, par ticularly the federal government. The reference to other" govern ments is designed to include possible financial cooperation from such mu- inequalities as New Britain and Meri- den in the construction of 8 pro- posed airport.
 It has been stressed that the program as proposed yesterday, is tentative one at this time formu- lated primarily to create a skeletal plan which will be built upon from time to time to eventually become reality.
 The structural phase of the plan was outlined to the group yesterday by T. L. Scott-Smith, city plan en. gineer who told of plans for the following postwar projects which will be assumed under the plan, and their estimated costs:
 Storm water drainage, $454, 900; Mad River interceptor, $l,000000; parks and recreation, $491 ,O00; school buildings, $300000; public health. $305 .00o; public incinerator, $275,- 900; Automobile Parking facilities, $l80000 buildings for street and water departments, $67 1900; public buildings. $85O000 sewerage dis poSal faciliteis, $750,000.
 Also. water system, $25OOOO; sani- tary sewers, $295 900; sidewalk fund, $26600O and airport. $2,200 GOO. AL teration of city streets 10 include paving, reSurfacing, grading, oiling, making through highway conStruc- tions, etc; $l,660 630; installation and repairs to street signs and lighting, $78,O00; new bridges and repairs to present structures, $495,- 500.
 Under the tentative program it is
