$4,000 Slash
Restora| Sought.
For Recreation
City Heads Expected
To Ask Senate Back
Summer Program
By Rudolph Kouffmonn II

Lie DlSuTlCG commissioners are
expected to ask the Senate to re-
store about $4,000, cut from 1947
operating funds of the District
Recreation Department by the
House, to provide part-time leader
ship for the summer recreation
program and swimming pool guards.
This was disclosed yesterday at
the monthly meeting of the District
Recreation Board at which men,
berS discussed possible courses of
action to meet the cut.
The recreation budget was cut
total of $145,700 in the process.
Capital improvement funds were
cut from $256,000 to S156,000, partly
to eliminate construction projects
which would compete with veterans
housing and partly because of fiscal
dilemma in which the District now
finds itself. Operating funds were
cut $45, 700, from $797 800 to S751 900.
Navy Quits Playground.
The board announced the Navy
has relinquished the Lincoln Play
ground, Sixth and L streets Sc,
and that every possible effort is being
made to have it in use this summer.
Since 1912, the Navy had used it as
coal and storage yard. Board
members described it as one of the
most needed play areas in Wash
ington.
Hopes to build a field house at
Turkey Thicket Playground received
a setback the board disclosed, by
bid of $33,776. 1t was estimated a
year ago it could be built for $4,000
to $4,000. The board voted to re-
ject the bid, only one received out
of 1a invitations.
The board will continue its efforts
to clear the project through Edward
M. Synan, Civilian Production Ad-
ministrtion manager for the Wash
lngton region. Mr. Synan must
screen all local contraction projects
for their effect on the veterans
housing program. If the project
doesn't go through, the funds prob
ably will be spent on ground i'm
proverlents at the Raymond, Chevy
Chase Rosedale, Langston, Sher-
wood, Logan and New York Avenue
Fairgrounds.
Other Action Taken.
The board also:
l. Voted to create a special COM
mittee to study requests of the
Southeast Council of Citizens AsSo-
Citations and the Bradbury Heights
Citizens Association that part of
Fort Dupont now used for the Dis
trict tree nursery and the home of
Clifford Lanham, District superin-
tendent of trees and parking, be
turned into a recreation area when
Mr.. Lanham retires.
2. Voted to ask the Commissioners
to empower it to conduct the 1916
Independence Day celebration here.
3. Expressed appreciation to the
First Baptist Church, Twenty
seventh street and Dumbarton ave-
nue. NV, for use of it's facilities
prior to construction of the Rose
Park Playground shelter house.
4. Agreed to inform the Commits
sioners it contemplates no use of the
NeWlands- Johnston property, Twen-
ty-Seventh street and Military road
NV. which would violate the intent
of the dedication leaving it to the
city.
5. Approved an agreement with
the Board of Library Trustees for
joint use of the E. v. Brown School
Building when the District Office of
Price Administration vacates the
property. The two boards have
asked the Commissioners to turn
the building over to their joint use
for a community center and branch
public library.

$500 and Miller admitted under
heated cross-examination that he
