Commissioners Ask
Fund Restoration

The Commissioners today request
ed the Senate to restore four House.
deleted items, totaling $94, 800, to
its deficiency appropriation bill.
One of these is the 5000 request
to finance the reactivated District
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
through the rest of this fiscal year.
The House eliminated the item
on the ground the Traffic Depart
ment has sufficient personnel to do
the work of the agency.
The other items whose reipstate-
ment was requested are: $46 600 for
plans for housing physicians at Glenn
Dale Sanatorium; $4,000 to add a
third floor to the hospital and ad-
ministration building of the Dis
trict Training School, and $4,000

Bill Offered 10 Buy Home
Al End Of Boiling Runway

In the interest of life and prop
erty," the home of Joseph L. Book
ovoc, retired Navy Yard tool
maker, which stands at the end of
q runway of Boiling Field, would
be purchased by the War Depart
ment under the terms of a bill
introduced yesterday by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada.
Mr.. Brockovac, who bought the
home before the field was extended
almost to his front door, has been
appealing to Congress and other
agencies for six years for relief from
the shattering vibrations and from
the metal pieces that sometimes
fall on his property.
Instead of pleasant days spent
in caring for his garden, his life
has been made almost unbearable
by the noise and fear of being hit,
Mr.. Bockovac wrote the Nevada
Senator.
Senator McCarran concluded the
only reasonable answer, since the
field cannot be moved, would be for
the United States to buy the dwell
ing and enable it's owner to find a
safer and quieter home elsewhere.

U. 5. Proposes Limitation
On Swiss Watch Imports

The State Department announced
yesterday that it has proposed to
Switzerland that imports of Swiss
watches into this country be lin
tied during reconversion by the
American watch manufacturing in
dustry.
The announcement pointed out
the American industry has been
engaged almost exclusively since
1912 in production of precision in
struments for military purposes
and that during this period the
civilian demand for watches has
been met almost entirely by Swiss
imports.
Walter w. Cenerazzo, national
president of the American Watch
Makers Union, told reporters that
the imports of Swiss watches
amounted to 100000 during Octo-
Der alone, representing more than
the American watch industry ever
produced in a whole year.
He said the union was urging
the State Department to fix a quota
on imports of Swiss watches not to
exceed 100000 annually. This
would represent about 40 per cent
OF the domestic market, he said.
