They played a game last night
at Griffith Stadium - a game
which often bore a somewhat
striking resemblance to baseball.
Most of the playing was we'll
below big league standards, and
most of the players were well
above the age of athletic maturi-
ty. Theirs is another kind of game
in which each is a star-politics.
It was the annual Congressional
Baseball Game, and after it was
all over. the Democrats limped off
with their third consecutive vic
tory over the Republicans, 8 to 4.
Last year it was 1910, and the
year before, a whopping PAIL.
Early 3-Run Lead.
Although both teams had their
share of rockies, the issue was
never really in doubt. The doughty
Democrats racked up three runs
in the first inning and took it
from there.
The rusty Republicans were
three up and three down in the
first, and took it from there
almost. A three-run rally in the
fifth, and final, frame, set Man

ing, but the game ended dismally

Driver and Instructor
Held in Traffic Death

A driving lesson that ended in
the death of a woman led to
charges of negligent homicide for
both pupil and instructor yester-
day.
Held for court action by cor
oner'S jury were Mrs. Vernetta D.
Bell, "a, of 2209 G street NE, and
her instructor, Mallie Livingston
SO, of 1926 B street NE, both
colored.
The two were arrested following
an accident May 6, in which Mrs.
Nellie Strother, 40, colored, of 723
Twenty-first street NE, was killed
as she sat on the front porch of
her home. At the same time, a
pedestrian, Anthony Gould, 8, COL
ored, of 853 Twentieth street NE,
was struck and suffered a frac-
tured leg.
Police witnesses at the inquesu
yesterday told how Mrs. Bell, who
had obtained a learners permit
the day before, started out about
= pm. for a driving lesson with
Livingston in his car. The car
apparently went out of control as
it turned onto Twenty-first street
off of H street. Mrs. Bell told po-
lice she tried to apply the brakes
and stepped on the accelerato-
instead.
The jury found both Mrs. Bell
and Livingston responsible for the
death, after Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald read them the traffic
regulation for learners which holds
an instructor responsible for the
observance of all regulations.

Mr.. Barron said the commits

Votes to Seek Funds.
The appropriations Committee
voted yesterday to seek what Ses-
quicentennial Commission money
could be returned to the Treasury.
The action was taken after Rep
resentative Garfield, Republican,
of New Jersey. pointed to the
probability that the Freedom Fair,
scheduled for 1851 and 1852,
would not be held.
Mr.. Barron repeated that he
had recommended that 1850, 900
of the commissions So million ap-
preparation be put into a reserve
for return to the Treasury.
Another 81 million was assigned
to the financing of the Sesquicen-
tennial events being held this
year. Mr.. Barron said the re-
manning $750,000 should be re-
tanned as available until the ex-
tent of the commissions obliga-
tons are finally determined.
1t may be that the 81 million
for this years events will be in
sufficient. Mr.. Barron said that,
while preliminary estimate by
the Interior Department for con-
struction of the Sesquicentennial
amphitheater in Rock Creek Park
was 100000, the construction &C
tually is costing $568,000.

Meanwhile, the Federation of
Businessmen's Associations has
called a meeting for pm. We'd

Of the federation yesterday asked
President Truman for the priv
ilege of presenting it's views before

sion. That commission will meet
to act on the recommendation of
the executive committee that the
fair be abandoned.
1t had been planned to hold
the commission meeting next

The federation's committee,
headed by j. A. Kamerow, called

HouseExpected
ToAct tuesday
On DC. Budget
Some Officials
See No Serious
Effect From Cuts
By Don S. Wcrren

The House is expected to act
Tuesday on the Districts 1851
appropriation bill, which calls for
an outlay Of $l12,840,34o.
This would be the biggest city
budget on record, although it has
been reduced by more than $6.3
million. or about So per cent, by
action Of its economy minded
Appropriations Committee.
In addition to cash cuts, the
House Appropriations Committee,
acting on recommendation by the
District subcommittee, headed by
Representative Bates, Democrat,
of Kentucky, has reduced contract
authorizations for permanent i'm
provements by Is per cent.
Despite the reductions, some
officials said they believed the city
governments program for the
next year would not be too seri-
ously affected.
In fact. the net cut in spending
for the year beginning July is
expected to be softened by more
than 50 million within the next
several weeks. This would result
from passage of a House-passed
bill to settle the eight-month bat
tie over the exact location of the
next bridge to be built over the
Anacostia River.
The House budgeteers had
stricken this sum from the pend
ing District budget because a
stalemate was reached by the
District Commissioners and the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission over a proper
site.
Since then, however, spokesman
for the planning body have with
drawn their opposition to a bill,
sponsored by the District Commits
sioners. fixing the location at or
near the line Of East Capitol
street. In return. the city heads
promised to restudy the location
OF the eastbound approach to the
span.
The budget, as submitted by
President Truman and the District
Commissioners, was calculated to
leave surplus at the end of the
1851 fiscal year of a little less than
81 million. A deeper cushion, to
meet the load of heavy capital
Improvement demands in the 1852
year. was planned by the House
Appropriations Committee when
it made its cuts in the 1851 spend
ing bill.
Under the House committees
plan, there would be a surplus at
the end Of the 1851 fiscal year of
about $8,173,000. In doing so, the
House committee warned that
heavier OUTLAWS for permanent i'm
provements must be anticipated
in the 1852 fiscal year.

Payday Hopes Revived
AS House Votes Funds,
Sends Issue 10 Senate
By Harold B. Rogers

Federal and District employees
today had some hope of getting
regular pay envelopes during the
rest of the fiscal year.
The House late yesterday passed
and sent to the Senate a joint res
olution. giving agencies the right
to disburse money for salaries and
pensions up to July l. even though
present funds are running short.
The so-called continuing reso-
luton" quickly sailed through the
House by unanimous voice vote.
It goes to the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee for action.
Up to Senate.
What the Senate may do is
uncertain. however. Last year, the
Senate delayed action two or three
times on such continuing resolu-
tons toward the end of the con-
gressional session.
Unless the legislation becomes
law before the June 6 pay day
for District workers, about $4,000
city employees cannot be paid.
The joint resolution was laid
before the House by Chairman
Cannon of the House Appropria-
tons Committee, shortly after
this committee had reported to
the House the first deficiency bill.
This measure carries money to
meet all salary obligations, and
other needs of the whole Gov
eminent for the rest Of this
fiscal year.
No Time for Bill.
Mr.. Cannon told the House the
deficiency measure could not be
enacted in time to provide neces-
sary money for paying the higher
pay scales authorized by the first
session of this Congress. Those
who need the money. besides Gov
eminent workers, he explained,
are veterans and pensioners.
The big deficiency bill carries
a total Of more than $605 million
for many Federal and District
needs. It probably will come UP
on the House floor for action early
next week.
For the District. the bill in
cludes $6,638, 400 for meeting pay
rolls until July /.
To take care of several other
urgent needs in the District, the
bill also includes a total Of $685.
483-a decrease of $282, $50 from
the estimates submitted by city
heads.
Several Items Cut Sharply.
Decreases made by the Appro-
priations subcommittee on the Dis
trict and by the House Appropri-
atoms Committee include the
elimination of $4,000 to set UP
civil defense planning. and SIS, 900
for the superintendent Of District
Buildings to demolish condemned
buildings.
Sharp cuts were made in sew
eral items for operating the city.
Among the agencies taking the
most severe reductions were the
Tax Collectors Office, Metropoli-
tan Police and Municipal Court.
Public Welfare Department re-
quests were sharply criticized. tbut
a large part of the cut was &C.
counted for by voluntary savings
made by the department.
A new item added to the def
cheney bill, on request Of Chair
man Celler Of the House Judici-
airy Committee. was $4,000 for
preparation Of a revised District
code of laws to replace the present
antiquated code.
