Cain Broadens
Views on Extent
0fHomeRu|e
Support Is Promised
Legislation to Grant
D. c. Greater Powers

Senator Cain, Republican, Of
Washington, an active member Of
the Senate District Committee, to-
day said he Is convinced the District
deserves "a far greater degree Of
home rule than I favored in the
first place"
Il shall support any reasonable
legislation headed in the direction
OF greater self-government for the
District" he declared.
As start, Senator Cain believes
the District Commissioners ought to
be empowered to determine whether
Washington is to have daylight saw
ing time in the summer. He said he
will support the bill, prepared by
Senator McGrath. Democrat, Of
Rhode Island, to give the Commits
sloners such authority.
Cited As Typical Example.
ut is not a problem for legislators
in Congress to determine this issue
for the people, or to order them how
to live" Senator Cain said. This
is a typical example of the kind Of
thing Congress can well delegate to
the local government. People have
expressed themselves conclusively in
favor of daylight saving time, and
they should have it,"
How far Congress should 60 in
delegating powers to some form of
government in Washington,
Senator Cain said he has not yet
decided He recalled, however, that,
as chairman of the Fiscal Affairs
Subcommittee of the Senate District
Committee, he had given lengthy
and careful attention to the tax
problems of the District, and that he
had come to realize the heavy legis-
lative load the National Capital i'm
poses on members of Congress.
Sees Burden Eased!
Some form of self-government not
only would help ease this burden on
Congress, he pointed out, but would
give the residents of Washington a
greater voice in the management Of
their own affairs.
Pending on the Senate calendar is
the McCarran bill to set up Fed
eral city charter commission of local
residents to write a self-government
charter for approval by Congress
and a public referendum here.
On the House side of the Capitol,
the Auchincloss Subcommittee OF
the House District Committee Is
preparing a lengthy report recon-
mending comprehensive changes,
looking toward home rule and reor-
ganization. Out of the proposals, a
bill is to be drafted and introduced
soon after the opening of the next
session. Details of the report have
not yet been disclosed.

The wheels of municipal govern
ment, grinding small if exceeding
slow, have ground out a decision
which may at last permit an l1-year-
old colored girl, who is deaf and
almost blind to get an education.
The pay-of to months of ponder
ing by the city administration came
yesterday when the Commissioners
approved a recommendation by Act
ing Corporation Counsel Chester H.
Gray that it would be all right for
the District to put up $500 a year
to send the. girl to special school
in New York.
The Family Service Association,
1922 Eleventh street NV, has prom
ised to pay the other half of the
$1,000 tuition fees. The child's
guardian, her great-aunt, is unable
to pay.
Mr.. Gray ruled It would be proper
for the District, the association and
the New York school to contract
together for the girls education.
Partly Receivers Sight.
The girl became totally blind at
the age of 7. She recovered little
of her sight two years ago, but at
the same time began to lose her
hearing. She is now totally deaf,
and with her glasses on can see at
10 feet what she should be able to
see at 200 feet.
While she was confined to her
aunt's home, between the age Of 7
and 8, a visiting teacher provided
by the District was able to teach
her to read Braille. She now is
able to read slowly and to write.
At the public school she has at
tended for the last two years, she
is now in the 4-B grade.
But the report indicated, it was
obvious the regular school could not
cope properly with the problem OF
her education. Her aunt confirms
this.
when she first went to school"
her aunt told reporter, "she came
home in tears because some of the
other children made fun of her. II
spent long time convincing her
that God did not make anybody
really any different from anybody
else"
The aunt, in her capacity as the
childs guardian, wrote to practical
ly everybody in town, including Mrs.
Roosevelt" asking that some way
be found to equip the child for
life.
"She has real possibilities" the
aunt explained. when things got
bad, was almost afraid she would
lose her speech. I taught her to
sing. made her talk all the time.
did everything I could to keep
her going"
Offer From Institution.
Meanwhile, DR.. Joseph A. Murphy,
director OF the school medical in
spection service, recommended In
July, 1916, that the girl be trans
ferred to the Maryland School for
the blind. But since that institu-
ton felt it was not equipped to
solve her problem, she remained in
the District public school she had
been attending.

Lusk Appeals
Tod. {. Groups
1oCut Budget
Understanding Is Not
Necessary, Just Speak
Against Rises, He Says

AS opposing sides girded for battle
at tomorrow's public hearing on tht
1S49 District Budget, an economy
plea came this afternoon from Ruff.
s. Lusk, president of the Washing.
ton Taxpayers Association.
Mr.. Lusk has mailed copies of hi
statement to 20 Washington bushes!
and civic organizations. He urgee
them to send representatives to ths
hearings, scheduled for 10 am. IL
the District Building board room
to hold anti-spending line.
Mr.. Lusk told the business group.
their representatives did not have
to understand "the ms and outs" Of
the budget.
Budget Called Outrageous
Gall he has to do is speak on be-
half of his group against any pro-
posal which will increase or bring
about any new taxes" Mr.. Lusk
wrote.
Branding as courageous" the
$144, 100000 budget estimate sub
mitted by department heads, Mr.
LuSk said tax increase next yeal
may well bring disaster to this
city"
The forces advocating the spend
ing of money are well organized
local, and hard working" Mr.. Lusk
wrote. There are so groups that are
seeking the spending of tax money
({hof cxyl IN tho I
may advocate economy.
"On the spending side are the
local unions, all the left wing or
ganizations, such as the League of
Women Shoppers, and no end of do
good outfits such as the Council of
Social Agencies and the Washington
Housing Associations.
THE Commissioners are in the
middle. They are bounded day in
and day out by these groups to spend
money. Few support the other side. -
Real and Property Taxes Hit.
It. was the threat of new real
estate and personal property taxes
which drew the warning of dis
aster" for the city from Mr.. Lusk
who also serves as secretary of the
Building Owners and Managers AS
sociat ton of Metropolitan Washing
ton.
Two Commissioners, meanwhile
indicated they would again support
the sales tax proposal, made yester-
day by District Budget Officer
Walter L. Fowler in his annual
report on estimated income.
They were Commissioners John
Russell Young and Guy Mason
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young withheld Judgment, saying
he wanted more facts and figures. >
Mr.. Fowler wants a 2 per cent
sales tax. He also recommended
that the municipal income tax,
which brings in approximately $4,-
100000 year, be repealed.
Mr. Fowler thinks that with S12,-
100000 from the sales and income
taxes in 1949 he could balance the
budget at the approximate $780,
100000 figure to which the Commits
sioners are expected to pare re-
quests Of the Department heads.

1t was easy to see that President
Truman was not satisfied with the
work of some supervisory employees
and also that he felt the system
of selecting supervisory employees
was not satisfactory.
So now, Government officials are
putting their heads together in an
attempt to find solution.
Examinations Considered.
The proposal receiving the most
serious attention is the one calling
for all future supervisory employees
to be chosen by civil service exami-
nations instead of by the present
system of Office chiefs making their
own selections.
Government officials say there are
many fine supervisory employees in
the Federal service. But they ac-
knowledge that there is much to
be done in improving the general
caliber of supervisory employees.
They promised that ''there1l be some
changes made"

VERY GOOD REASON-A Civil
Service Commission examiner in a
Southern State was trying to in
terest young high school graduate
in taking a job in stenographic
pool. Stenographic pools are COM
posed of girls grouped en- masse in
large rooms to type and take dicta-
ton on an assemly-line basis.
"Oh, I would like stenographic
pool job very much, but I'm afraid
1 can't accept" said the girl.
why not?" asked the civil serv-
ice man.
IT can't SWIM" she replied sadly.
WHAT'S IN A NAME-The Vet
erans' Administration Hospital in
Memphis, Tenn, is located at Park
and Getwell streets.

SOME JOB OPPORTUNITIES
There will be from so to IS jobs
opening up here when the Civil
Service Commissions fourth re-
gional Office, now in Winston Salem,
N. c., returns here next month.
That is the number of commits
sion employees there who have in
dicated that they will not return to
Washington with the agency. Con-
sequently, their jobs will be vacant.
Most of the jobs are of clerical
and filing variety. Commission Of
fioials say, however, they won't &C
cept applications for the job at this
time. They advise those persons in
terested to wait until the Office
moves back here before applying.
The moving date is set for between
