Chairman Auchincloss requested
Mr.. Maloney to submit in writing q

parently was favorably considered
by members of the committee. The
witness promised to make specie
recommendation.
Opposes Consolidation.
Representative Deane at one point
commented that it seemed every
time policeman is killed in line
of duty, they have to pass the nat" )"
In answer to questions by Mr..
Auchincloss, Mr.. Maloney told the
committee that he thought it would
be "a distinct disadvantage" to con-
solidate the White House police
with the Metropolitan police.
John Ihlder, executive officer Of
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority, told the committee that the
work of his agency represents pri-
marily the interest of the Nation
in Washington as its capital"
He recommended that in consider
ing reorganization of the District
government, Congress might set up
the two District Committees from
the Senate and House as the Dis
tricts legislative body" He pro-
posed that these two might act as
joint committee and, restricting
themselves to legislation and budget,
they could grant to local admin
istrative agencies the power to adopt
regulations, procedures, etc, neces-
sary to implement the laws under
which they operate"
Final Power in Congress.
He voiced the opinion that par
ticipation in enactment of legisla-
ton by locally elected District rep
resentatives in Congress does not
appear to be practicable at present" :"
He emphasized that whatever
happens to the District government
in proposals for its reorganization,
Congress should retain final power.
DR.. Alexander Wetmore, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, told
the committee that the National
Geological Park here is a necessary
scientific unit of the Smithsonian
Institution. He insisted that a
transfer of the ZOO to the District
government would reduce its effect
iveness.
Virtually all the expenses of the
Zoo are paid through the District
budget, he testified. When asked
whether the Federal Government
should pay a greater proportion of
its cost because of the estimated SO
per cent of Zoo visitors coming from
out of town, DR.. Wetmore said that
was a question beyond our control" :"
I'VE need funds" he told the
committee, whether they come from

ings at 10 am. tomorrow. Controller
General Lindsay c. Warren will be
