Early Senate Action
Seen as D. +. Bill
Sails Through House
By Don S. Warren

Senate action is expected soon
on the Districts record $112,-
$40, $40 budget for the next fiscal
year, adopted quickly by the House
late yesterday.
A number of changes may be
written into the bill on the Sen
ate side, but the total Of funds
probably will not be changed
radically.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama. head of the Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee in
charge of the District bill, did
say. however. that most careful
consideration would be given to
protests against the House slash
of funds for INDECENT hospital pa
tients.
The budgeted request for in
digent patients admitted as emer-
gency cases to private hospitals
was $750,000. Private hospital of :
f1cials said this was much below
actual cost and asked for more
but the House cut the figure to
$5O0,000.
Hospital spokesmen immediate
ly protested that this would mean
that they would be forced to sub
sidize the District government. A
protest to this effect was flee
with the House late yesterday BY
Representative Cox, Democrat, o1
Georgia.
Senator Hill did not pass finally
on the issue but told reporter
he agreed it would be more eco.
nomical for the District to meet it.

paying fees to the private hos.
pitfalls than by building a costly
addition to Gallinger Municipa
Hospital.
Health Officer Daniel l.. Seek
niger said Gallinger is not ade.
i quately equipped to handle "the
increased burden" that would bt
thrown on the hospital by the
House cut.
i District officials, it appeared
also viii be given an opportunity
to suggest changes in the House
bill before action is taken by the
Senate.
One probable suggestion is res.
toration of the 50 million stricken
from the House bill for starting
the new East Capitol Street Bridge
now that Congress is about to ap-
prove the project.
The city heads probably also
will ask for restoration of some OF
the funds cut from the House bill
I for extension Of the sewage sys-
tenn.
Another question is how many

sion. The House has allowed an
additional 80 police, and some OF
these might be assigned to work
with the Vice Squad. Senator Hill
said he will look into this question
House passage of the Districts
record supply bill yesterday re.
quired only SO minutes. It was
swept through the House without
a single change and with little
argument.
J. The District Commissioners and
!; President Truman had submitted
a budget of more than $119 mil
lion. While the Bates subcom-
mittee and the House reduced this
by more than $6 million, the total
outlay for 1851, as passed by the
House, would be more than SO
million in excess of appropriations
flor the present fiscal year.

War Easing Ended;
Orders to Improve
Or Vucute Are Made

Building inspection officials have
started a breakdown on hundred.
OF property owners who were per.
mitted to convert Easements tx
apartments during the war under
relaxed regulations.
j. j. ngenfritz. deputy director
OF inspections, warned today that
the wartime relaxations In the
regulations have expired. He said
all applications for licenses are
being checked to see that apart
ments comply with present regu-
lations.
If an apartment is found to be
In violation of present regulations
the building inspection depart
ment disapproves the license ap-
plication. An order is then sent
to the property owner, stating how
the situation may be corrected, or,
If that is impossible, an order
stating the apartment should be
vacated.
Court Action Possible.
Failure to comply results in the
building inspection department
taking the case to court. The
penalty varies with the court at
tempting to get compliance rather
than infiict heavy punishment on
an offender, Mr.. Ilgenfritz said.
Temporary provisions placed in
the building code on July Is, 1916,
in the face of the housing short
age included these:
No minimum ceiling height re-
quirement for habitable rooms.
The standard required ceiling
height is 7 feet for existing build
ings and 8 feet for new buildings.
Reduction of the required win
dow area from IL per cent of the
floor space to per cent. Only
10 per cent window area has been
permitted in existing buildings.
Reduction of the requirement
that rooms be at least one-half
above ground to at least one
third.
Relaxations Expired.
These relaxations expired April
80. 1948. however. and the de-
partment is bearing down on
apartments which do not comply
with present regulations.
During the war, Mr.. Ilgenfritz
said, people who converted base
ment apartments were issued a
building permit If the conversion
required it. That was legal under
the relaxed regulations. he ex-
planned.
If the basement apartments are
not able to pass inspection now,
the property owner is just out the
money he spent in converting. he
added.
Mr.. ngenfritz said he guessed
that there were hundreds of base
ment apartments which did not
meet the regulations-but that
was only a guess. This would
mean thousands of persons living

move out, he added.
Other Action Taken.
The department also is begin
ming to crack down on violations
of requirements for single utility
room living quarters. At least 220
square feet of floor area is re-
quired for a room used for Sleep
ing and cooking.
Violation of this requirement
did not crop up especially until
housing became tight.
In addition, the department has
sent out 800 preliminary notices
that the wartime zoning provision
allowing four roomers in private
homes in restricted and semi
restricted residential area ex-
pires June 80.
The permanent prohibition of
more than two roomers in a
private home then will apply.

got an earful, but the chances
are that most of it went in one
ear and out the other. For the
people could hardly fail to rec
ognize it for what it was. just
the beginning of two months of
campaign oratory and not to be
taken too seriously.
The one thing Of real political
interest that day was the news
from the Republican convention
that Tom Dewey would accept
the nomination for another term
as Governor. He had been picked
by the party leaders as the can
didate likely to succeed-a con-
viction that may have been shared
by such we'll known Democrats
as Jim Farley and young F. D.
Roosevelt, since neither made any
effort to press his own ambition
for the Democratic nomination.
General Belief.
The interest in Gov. Dewey
extends beyond New York to the
whole country. Rightly or wrong
ly, 1t Is generally believed that it
means Gov. Dewey's readiness to
battle once again for the Re-
publican nomination for the
presidency If conditions appear
to be favorable two years from
now. Nobody could doubt the
sincerity, at the time he made 1t,
of his earlier decision to retire.
He had reason to be weary OF
Albany and reason to- doubt, after
two defeats, that he was on his
way to Washington. Some months
ago he had reason to doubt that
any Republican was on the way.
Now. however, like a lot of other
Republicans, r he may feel the tide,
thanks to the war, has turned
and that he has as good or better
right than anybody to ride with
the tide.
Be that as it may, some good
can come of Gov. Dewey's de-
cision. 1t will amplify his voice
within the party and, If he runs
true to form, encourage liberals
in the party to assert themselves
more vigorously than they have
in recent times For hv ooo+r.,t
with Senators Wherry and Taft.
at least, the Dewey element has
been more liberal in most mat
tiers. including foreign policy. than
those nominal spokesmen for the
party.

This Changing World
Big Three Ready to Approve Plans
For Rearmine Western Germany

Bonn regime create will not be
adequately prepared if its equip
ment is inferior to that which the
East Germans have.
The idea of some military men
that the French and Belgians,
who are receiving latest types of
American heavy equipment, might
consider handing it over to the
West German federal police is
mere wishful thinking.
The French military men are
fully alive to the Importance of
having a good German Army be-
tween the Elbe and the Rhine.
They are also aware that the
French government will have a
hard time obtaining the necessary
consent from the National AS
Sembly to increase sufficiently the
present size of Frances military
establishment. Prime Minister
Rene Pleven may even be over
thrown when he proposes to in
crease by six months the period
of military conScription in France.
But it would be political suicide
for any French politician to sug-
gest that a part of the American
military equipment be handed
over to the Bonn government.
Germans Understand Risk.
These are the factors which
may stand in the way of creation
of buffer army between Eastern
Germany and the borders of
France, Belgium and Holland.
The Western Germans are not
only willing but anxious to de-
fend themselves against an East
ern aggression, but being compe-
tent soldiers they do not want to
risk being made cannon fodder.
If they are to defend Western
Germany, and by implication par
ticipate in defense of Western
Europe. their forces must be equal
in military equipment to those
of their potential enemies.
According to reports from West
ern Germany, military experts
are convinced that even a force
of $4,000 men, working in CO.
operation with the American, Brit
ish and French divisions now in
the Reich-and supported by the
Anglo-American air force-could
fully cope with aggression from
the East, even if Moscow decided
to pour into battle some of it's
own forces, which include 40 divi-
sions now stationed between the
Oder and the Vistula.
But unless the Western Ger
mans heavy equipment is a
match for that of the Russians
their involvement in the impend-
ing struggle might mean only a
repetition of the Korean war, in
which we find ourselves facing a
difficult situation because the
South Korean armies were not

Federal mediators left the way

all kinds of weapons. including
tanks and artillery, but it will not
have an air force of its own.
The United States and Great
Britain, which will supply the tao
tical and strategic air operations
in the event of another war, are
naturally bound to cover Western
Germany, which is first in the
path of the aggressor.
May Not Accept Formula.
Doubt is expressed in certain
quarters about the willingness of
the Germans to accept fully the
present formula. This is not due
to any desire on the part of the
Bonn government of the German
people to prefer East German or
Russian invasion to war of self
defense, but to the inadequacy of
the armament which may be
made available to them.
Our factories at present are
producing only a limited number
of tanks. These are needed imme-
diately for Korea, for the new
divisions we are raising in this
country and for the fulf1llments of
our pledges to the members of
the Atlantic Alliance. Hence, all
we can offer the German federal
police today is old-type Sherman
tanks, which would be useful
against a poorly-armed country,
but are of little value against the
latest heavy tanks which the So
Wet has supplied to the East Ger
mans.
There seems to be no objection
in Western Germany to the num-
ber of men who would be called to
duty. Since they have to rely
on armaments produced in the
United States, a larger number
would be useless. But those who
advise the Adenauer government
on military matters are all trained
military men who believe the
best defense is the offensive. And
for this purpose the army which
the Western Allies plan to let the
