AID. {. Bills Signed,
Including Park and
GeorgetownProposaI!

President Truman today signed
four District area bills including
one to establish the so-called "Old
Georgetown" district and another
to enlarge parkway lands along
the c. &. o. Canal between Great
Falls and Cumberland, Md.
The Old Georgetown measure is
designed to preserve the old
Colonial architectural features of
that part of Washington.
1t provides for regulation Of
height. exterior design and con-
struction of private and semi
public buildings in a specified
Georgetown area.
Fine Arts Body to Review.
The District Commissioners
would be required to refer all
plans for construction. alteration,
reconstruction or razing of any
building in the area to the Fine
Arts Commission for a report and
recommendations. Furthermore,
the Commissioners are directed to
make survey of the old George
town area with a view to obtain
ing information to be used in ad-
miniSterinp the law.
The area to be regulated is
bounded on the east by Rock Creek
and Potomac Parkway from the
Potomac River to the north
boundary of Dumbarton Oaks
Park; on the north by the north
boundary of Dumbarton Oaks
Park, Whitehaven street and
Whitehaven parkway to Thirty
fifth street, south along the mid
die of Thirty fifth street to Res
ervoir road, west along the mid
die of Reservoir road to Archbold
parkway; on the west by Arch
bold parkway from Reservoir road
to the Potomac River, and, on
the south, by the Potomac River
to the Rock Greek parkway.
C. & o. Canal Bill.
The C. g. o. Canal bill author
ICES exchange of lands between
the Secretary of Interior and
other owners to widen the Fed
erally-owned parkway lands along
the canal. This is preliminary
step towards the proposal for con-
structing vehicular parkway be-
tween Great Falls and Cumber-
land.
The other two bills signed into
law would permit the National
Grange to erect a marker on Fed
eral land in the vicinity of Madi-
son and Fourth streets NV. to
commemorate the founding of the
grange, and to facilitate the
burial Of human bodies by per-
mitting physicians other than the
family doctor to sign a certificate
to remove the body from the home
where death occurred.

Police Ask $4,000
For Sound Cameras
To Quiz Prisoners

The Police Department has
asked for $4,000 to buy sound
camera equipment for use in
questioning prisoners.
Most defendants who have
confessed to police tell the
trial court they did so because
of police brutality. Police are
sometimes hardpressed to
prove they didn't beat a pris-
oner.
The department feels that,
if the detectives made a movie
of a prisoner giving a confess
sion, the brutality charge will
not be used as often.

Auxiliary Police
WeaponsAsked
In New Budget
RevoIvers for 1000
In Civilian Defense
Program Are Sought

Funds to provide revolvers for
the 1000 members of the auxiliary
police force to be set up under the
city's civilian defense program
have been asked by the Police De-
partment in its fiscal 1852 budget.
The police budget, which re-
quested $10.398.829 for fiscal 1852.
was released to the public today
by the Commissioners.
It asked for 800 new jobs but
did not make provisions for the
additional 800 new policemen
who would have to be hired to put
the new f1ve-day week into effect.
Budget Officer Walter Fowler said
an additional sum of about 81
million would have to be added to
the police budget to put the
shorter work-week into effect.
Total of S11,39S,829.
Thus, the total sum contem-
plated for fiscal 1852 amounts to
about $11, 1,398.829. OF that sum.
81 ,291 1923 would come from the
highway fund to pay for police
service in handling traffic. The
total is $2.828,017 over the last
appropriation.
The Police Department asked
a total of 1921 900 for it's part in
the civilian defense program.
| OF that, $21,2 200 would be used
to hire eight clerical workers:
$37, 900 for an auxiliary radio
system for emergency Use, and
$462, 800 for actual equipment for
the 1000 auxiliary policemen, in
cluding the revolvers.
Under the order setting up the
police reserve corps, the volun-
teers could be armed only after
being sworn in as special police
in time of war, riot or insurrec-
ton. They could not carry arms
now-or have any police powers
without special legislation.
Liaison Officer Needed.
The budget also asked a new
inspectors position. This in
spector would serve as chief liai-
son officer for the police in the
civilian defense program.
The budget listed the follow
ing items as necessary equipment
for the auxiliary police:
Steel helmets, So; short over.

volver. $40; baton, 81; whistle,
20 cents, and badge, $3.50, for a
total of $115.70 per auxiliary
policeman.
New equipment asked by the
Police Department includes a
utility barge. complete with first
aid and emergency equipment
and designed to be towed into
shallow water. To cost $16,100,
this barge would be used for such
emergencies as plane crashes in
the Potomac.
A high-speed crash boat at
$4,000 and two ambulances also
were asked. The ambulances
would cruise the streets as a scout
car does between calls.
Money also was asked for
44-passenger bus to transport the
police riot squad.
New Fire Houses Asked.
Funds to construct two new fire
houses in fast-growing Southeast
Washington have been asked by
the Fire Department In It's budget
for fiscal 1852.
The department budget, re-
leased by the Commissioners to-
day.. totaled $5,466,574. This is
an increase of $834,374 over the
last appropriation.
The two new fire houses would
be located at Forty ninth and
East Capitol streets and at Twen-
ty-fourth and Irving streets Sc.
The department cited the tre-
mendous housing in the South
east area and said fire protection
is spread too thin there. The
houses would cost a total Of
$526. 900.
The department is asking for
20 new employees.
Although plans are for an aux
iliary fire fighting force to be set
up under the city's civilian de-
fense program, the department.
did not ask for any money to get
this underway. Estimates on the
cost of such an auxiliary force are
expected later.
The department asked $145,630
for the purchase of 10 pumping
engines at $14,563 each. These
would replace older equipment
which Is on the verge of becom-
ing obsolete.
Also asked is $4,000 for a new
aerial ladder truck to replace a
worn-out one; $4,000 for a new
rescue squad wagon, also a re-
placement, and $500 for a new
ambulance. Six new passenger
cars are sought, five of which
would be requirements.

areas of Arlington, Alexandria and
Falls Church form a barrier to
quick access to the open country
beyond. And it is in that open
country that the Government is
expected to select sites for its out
lying agencies.
William H. Kennedy, zoning
engineer, and Frank E. Patterson
principal planner in Arlington. see
the traffice problem as the chief
one for their area in the dispersal
program.
Those planning the program
have said the outlying buildings
would be froA1 40 minutes to an
hour committing time from Wash
ington. They have described the
sites as necessarily linked with
Washington by high-speed high
ways. The $139.8 million appro-
priation requested for starting the
program included $l4 million for
access roads to the initial four
sites. -
Shirley Highway Fastest.
In Virginia, the Shirley highway
offers the fastest route to outly-
ing areas. When completed it will
be limited access road-that is,
without side roads or cross roads
at grade. The highway is already
linked with most of the intersect-
ing roads by cloverleaf connec-
tions.
From the Fourteenth Street
Bridge, a few minutes drive on
the highway puts the motorist
deep into Fairfax County, = with
out having been forced to make
even one stop.
Highway SO, for some distance
a dual-lane thoroughfare, carries
la tremendous volume OF traffic
but Is not a limited access road.
Nor are the other main highways
that come through Arlington to
the bridges across the Potomac.
Larger Populations Seen.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Patter-
son said the rights-of-way for
these highways could be widened
and the highways developed, but
lit would be expensive. They
agreed the Federal Government

for preliminary design studies and
surveys for the construction of ex-
tensions to the central building
on Mount Vernon place, in the
event no advance planning funds
are obtained from the Federal
Government.
Pending a decision on what
agency will maintain and oper-
ate the structure at 499 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, begun as a
new main library but occupied
in part by Federal Government
and other District Government
agencies, the library deleted $5O,-
656 for this purpose from its
budget. Full occupancy would re-
quire another $25,249.

would have to foot the bill-o,
most of it.
Leroy E. Peabody, chairman oi
the Alexandria Planning Commis-
sion, said dispersal would near
many problems for his commu-
nifty. He mentioned almost al
once that the Alexandria Hospital
would have to take care of acci-
dent cases occurring on the high
ways.
He, the Arlington officials ano
A. K. Roop. planning engineer al
Falls Church, all have studied the
question of whether dispersal
would bring problems of larger
populations in their areas.
Home-Swapping Predicted.
There lis general belief that
there would be considerable swap
ping of homes. A Government
employe in Montgomery County,
Md, whose agency was moved to
Virginia. might move to Arlington
or adjacent communities. At the
same time, an employe living in
Virginia might move into Mary
land. if his agency was placed in
an outlying area in that State.
The point was made that, while
newcomers would be expected to
seek hoRes near the outlying
agencies Where they work, others
would want to keep near the
established institutions of Wash
ington and not be too far from
their friends.
Both Alexandria and Falls
Church are seeking to annex ad-
ditional territory where there is a
considerable proportion of unde-
veloped land. It was expected
that establishment of Govern
ment Offices in outlying areas of
Virginia would speed up the
building on these undeveloped
areas, bringing the necessity of
providing schools and other serv-
ices.
Even Arlington, already we'll
built up, is undergoing building
development in it's northern
reaches. Mr.. Patterson said the
population, counted at 1876 ,240 in
this years census, is increas-
ing at the rate of 1000 per-
sons a year. There has even been
a noticeable increase since the
Korean war started and activity
was stepped up at the Pentagon
and other military installations in
the area.
The tremendous volume of
traffic between Washington and
Virginia can be comprehended
from the traffic figures for the
Potomac bridges. The average
weekday in August saw 85,-
254 cars and trucks across the
Highway Bridges at Fourteenth
street. Figures for the other
bridges are: Memorial Bridge,
49,496; Key Bridge, 45,997; Chain
Bridge, between 5000 and 5000.

Building Programs
OF ; Hospitals Here
Hit by Budget Cuts
By Ted Mcdowell

Three Washington hospitals
face setbacks in their construction
programs as the result Of a so per
cent cut in the Federal to-
hospital program throughout the
Nation.
The hospitals affected are Chill
dren'S, Casualty and George
Washington.
The effects Of the reduction will
be far-reaching. according to an
official of the Health Department.
which administers the aid plan
here. The District now has 6.420
acceptable" hospitals beds and
needs 1868 more. he said.
Order Of Budget Bureau.
The Budget Bureau has directed
the Federal Security Administra-
tion to reduce its total allotment
for hospital construction for fiscal
1851 from $3.50 million to $75 mil
lion. The Districts share will be
reduced from $487 1888 to $243 ,944,
according to present estimates.
An FSA spokesman said an appeal
will be made to the Budget Bureau
for restoration of the full $3.50
million.
In the District, fund allotments
are made by the Commissioners
on the recommendation of the Di-
rector of Public Health and the
Hospital Advisory Council. The
council has recommended to the
Commissioners individual grants
for fiscal 1851 and 1852 on the
basis of the so per cent reduction.
Hospitals must match every Fed
eral dollar granted with two of
their own. The District grants
were made for a two-year period
because of the long-term construc-
ton involved.
Projects Affected.
Projects affected are:
l. Children's s-A new 2.5 mil
lion 109-bed building, under con-
struction on the present hospital
site. A total Of 1898, 900 in Fed
eral aid already has been granted.
AS a result Of the Federal reduc-
ton, a previously planned grant of
$121,000 will be cut to $4,000.
2. Casualty-Plans call for con-
struction of a new $3.50, 900 75-bed
hospital to replace an old portion
of the present hospital. A 5000, 900
allotment will be cut to $127, 900.
No contract has been let to date.
8. George Washington Plans
are being drawn for an additional
building for cancer patients at
Washington Circle, near the pres
ent hospital building. 1t will cost
around 100000 but no contract
has been let. "A Federal grant of
$3.50, 900 will be cut to $75, 900.
The three institutions face these
alternatives: Raise additional
money, cut construction costs or
abandon the projects. Other hos
pital construction now under way
here does not share in the Federal
aid and will not be affected.
Budget Bureau officials said any
appeal from ESA would be con-
sidered. They explained, however,
that the hospital fund reduction
order is only one of many con-
cerning new construction con-
tracts deemed unessential to ma
tional defense.
