Penal Institutions
May Need New Funds,
Commissioners Told

With hundreds more inmates in
the Districts penal institutions
than 1851 budget estimates con-
templated. the Department OF
Corrections may need deficiency
appropriation. the Commissioners
were advised yesterday.
Donald Clemmer, director of the
department, pointed out the
appropriation for fiscal 1851 was
based on an estimated population
of 1900.
But as the new fiscal year began
this month, there was a total of
3,483 inmates in the Jail and at
the Lorton and Occoquan institu-
tions, he said. This compared with
a population of $3.50 year ago,
he added. ss-
Peak Number, of Prisoners.
On July 4, Mr.. Clemmer noted,
The Jail held an all-time record
number of prisoners-1.0 .040. He
said the institutions have re-
manned crowded since he reported
the high populations to the COM
missioners last April.
A request for 20 new custodial
officers for the department, is
pending before Congress.
Describing the crowded condi-
tions, Mr.. Clemmer said that, in
many of the dormitories, the beds
are only IL inches apart.
AT the workhouSe, we have
placed 120 men in a basement, u
he stated. The jail is almost
completely double-decked with
beds. There is no additional OF
suitable space available for inmate
living quarters at this time"
Possible Trouble Seen.
Mr.. Clemmer said one reason
he was calling these conditions
to the attention of the CommiS-
sioners was for their general in
formation in the event I'VE should
have disciplinary trouble, so you
can understand under what cir=
cumstances it occurred"
Secondly, he said, the Commis-
sioners should be aware, early in
the fiscal year, that a deficiency
appropriation maybe necessary.
At the same time. Mr.. Clemmer
invited the city heads attention
to the proposal that $50 inmates
be given living quarters and sup
plies at Andrews Field in return
for work on the reservation.
The report was referred to Bud
get Officer Walter L. Fowler.

30-Cent Bus Fare
To Nearby Virginia

Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Examiner H. C. Lawton to-
day had under advisement bus
line requests that could send the
joint fare from Washington to
nearby Virginia UP to 80 cents.
Hearings on the proposed in
crease were concluded yesterday.
Two Virginia transit firms are
seeking a scent increase to the
present 10-cent fare. and the Cap
ital Transit Co. wants the District
fare set at Is cents, in line with a
recent rise granted by the Public
Utilities Commission.
In final testimony yesterday, an
Army Department spokesman said
any increase in the joint fare
from the city to the Pentagon
and other Government establish
ments in nearby Virginia would
be detrimental to the recruiting
and retention of civilian. en-
ployes."
But the official, Charles F. Null
laly. assistant to the director of
civilian personnel for the Army,
declared he did not feel qualified
to say what the fare level should
be. Secretary of Defense John
son had designated the Secretary
of the Army to represent Defense
Department interests at the hear
ings.
All three companies-Capital
Transit, the Alexandria, Bancroft
and Washington Transit Co. and
the Washington, Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co. (Arnold Lines)
also are seeking to abolish the
present 16-cent tickets for riders
using one of the Virginia lines
and the CTC Jointly. Under this
arrangement, 9 cents goes to the
Virginia line involved and 7 cents
to CTC.
DARYL Myse, attorney for Capt.
tai Transit. told Mr.. Lawton the
Pentagon was built against the
advice of transit firms.
Against that advice, the De-
partment of the Army went ahead
and built it with the resultant
transportation difficulties they are
now having" declared Mr.. Myse.
If the joint fare is continued
between the District and nearby
Government establishments, law
yers for both bus companies asked
that the ICC decide how the
amount should be divided. Mr..
Myse asked the examiner to fix a
joint rate that is "non-confls-
catory."
The Army civilian personnel Of
fetal explained that the depart
ment has started negotiations" to
obtain temporary housing for Civil
Service recruits. Many of these
new employees, he said, would use
the joint fare lines.

Copying Art in Crowded Gallery Takes Psychology
By Sam Doy.

It takes psychology as well as
artistic training to copy master
pieces in crowded art gallery.
That's the finding of four young
Baltimore art students, who are
brushing up this summer by du-
plicating famous hangings in the
National Art Gallery.
Painting the fac5imiles is hard
enough, the students said, but
copyists also must reckon with the
barrage of questions and COM
ments that come from curious
sightseers pouring through the
gallery each day.
Some Questions Heard.
The four artists, Bruce Shenton,
Ronald Anderson, Miss Eleanore
Cohen and Mrs. Ionthe Jefferson,
said these are some of the simple
questions they hear over and over
again:
What are you doing?";; "How
long have you been doing it?":;
DO they let just anybody do
that?":; "Are those real oil
paints?";; How much will you
sell it for?"
But the questions, the students
explained, are often just the open
ing shots in long, complicated
discussion.
Mr.. Shenton; who brought his
equipment back from a visit to
France, said he gets dozens of
questions each day about the two
headed Partisan brush he uses as
a paint blender.
Now I'm used to it," he said,
"but the big audiences frightened
me so much the first day II
couldn't hold my brush still"
Passersby are quick to comment,
according to Miss Cohen, on the
dab of "paint-binder." which looks
like apple jelly, on her palette.
This, she said, is her cue for
short lecture on how the old mas
ters used a mixture of varnish
and linseed oil to blend colors.
Three Types of Visitors.
Mrs. Jefferson and Mr.. Ander-
son said they have found there are

who circle around the copyist sew

with the masterpiece. the kind

they certainly will return

A spokesman explained, In
answer to a question, that
Guard units in the field for
routine summer training are

SO they could move directly
from training camps to any
duty assigned them in Federal
service.
Moreover, some elements of
the Guard do not take all
their equipment to summer
training and would have to go
back home to pick it up. This
