She was the first witness presented
by the prosecution in its effort to

the witness stuck firmly to her story
that selections Of gas chamber VIC

Increased j. ). Grant
For District Expenses
Favored by Young

Commissioner John Russell Young
was on record today with the view
that an increase in the present Fed
eral contribution Of 100000 was
the most equitable way to meet the
rising cost of the District govern
ment.
Requests of department heads for
the 1947 budget total Of $86, ,800, ,596,
and additional requests Of welfare
and hospital officials for construc-
ton is expected to bring the figure
above 90,000, 900.
Budget officials now are trying tc
analyze the requests and study an
ticipated revenues for the year 1947
Estimated revenues for the present
fiscal year, including the general
highway and water funds, are slight
ly over $63 900 900.
The 1946 appropriations so fal
have totaled $65 ,581 1857, and sup
Elemental appropriations to cover
recent pay raises enacted by Con.
gress promise to bring this figure
above SIC, 1000 900. The District, how.
ever, has unexpended balances from
the previous year.
OF the two methods of raising
additional revenue, Mr.. Young sale
increasing the Federal contribution
was the more equitable. He pointed
out that real estate was alread,
bearing a heavy burden. Real ane
personal property tax rates are th'
only ones which can be adjusted b!
| the commissioners.
On the favorable side of tn,
picture for the District is $40 1000 ,00l

bled at the airport to honor their

78 years old yesterday, passed along
the line of generals, he was obvious
ly touched and repeated several
times:
This is a surprise. Thank you
very much"
Nineteen Gun Salute.
Mr.. Stimson was accompanied to
the airport by Mrs. Stimson, Robert
P. Patterson, Secretary designate,
and Col. William H. Kyle, his mill
tary aide.
AS Mr.. Stimson left his car. the
Army Band sounded the four -four
ishes and ruffles accorded a Secre-

garden of the White House, Mr..
Stimson had received the Distin-
guished Service Medal, accompanied
by a citation, read by President

a measure of distinguished service,
exceptional in the history of the
Nation"
Mrs. Stimson, Mr.. Patterson, Gen.

the ceremony.
Following 40 years of conspicuous
public service in which he fought
as a combatant officer in one war
and twice served in the cabinets of
Presidents the citation read, in
part. Mr.. Stimson unhesitatingly
accepted the vast responsibility for
the development of the American
armies to play a determined part in
the desperate human conflict now
VIGOROUSLY terminated.
His fearlessness, his integrity,
his rich experience. his wisdom and
his craftsmanship were largely con-
tributory to the successful mobiliza-
ton, deployment and operations of
the Army in which his countrymen
may take everlasting pride. ."

had seen Kramer beat and kick pris-
