District Commissioners to enforce
the law. Before issuing any per-
init for alteration, reconstruction
or razing of any building in the
area, the Commissioners would
refer the plans to the Fine Arts
Commission for it's recommended
tions on whether the proposed
changes "are necessary and desir-
able to preserve the historic
value" of the district.
The area is described as follows:
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

Heavy Trucks Rerouted
During Bridge Repairs

All trailer trucks and trucks
carrying heavy loads are being
routed from the southbound High
way Bridge because of repairs be-
ing made to the center lane of
the bridge. The trucks are being
sent over Key Bridge.
Officials of the Highway De-
partment do not believe it is safe
for heavy trucks to use any but
the center lane of the old bridge.
This part Of the span was built to
hold the heavy electric trains that
used to run from Washington to
Mount Vernon.
Highway officials believe it will
take about two weeks to repair
the center of the bridge. Work was
started last Saturday.

Senate Unit Expected
To Increase Budget
For District Today
By Don S. Worren

Solid increases in the 1851
District budget over the 12,840,-
$40 total passed by the House are
expected to be recommended to-
day by a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee. The group met in
closed session this morning and
scheduled another session this aft
ernoon.
Two of the biggest boosts antici-
pated are the results of legislation
enacted after the House did its
Observation-Disclosures authorizing
and East Capitol street bridge and
loans for water system expansion.
Some other increases also may
be recommended by the Senate
group, headed by Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama.
With less than two weeks to go
before the end of this fiscal year,
officials said efforts will be made
to get Senate approval of the
District supply bill before the end
of this week so the measure can
be sent to conference with the
House.
Would Add $1.9 Million.
One of the new proposals before
the Senate subcommittee was a
supplemental request by President
Truman, received late yesterday,
for adding $1,928. 900 to the capital
outlay for the Washington aque-
duct.
This would be the first major
step toward a great, long-range
expansion of Washington's water
supply, filtration and distribution
systems to forestall threatened
shortages.
Such outlays were contemplated
recently when Congress passed,
and the President approved legis-
lation forswater loans up to $23
million. OF the additional funds
now requested for the District
budget. $1,4O5, 900 would be the
first of the loans, repayment of
which would begin 10 years hence
Some Cuts May Be Restored.
The House had knocked out of
the District spending program an
item of more than So million for
beginning Of construction of the
new Anacostia River span, but
only because, at that time, Con-
gress had not yet settled the battle
over the site. With the East Cap
itol street site now written into
law, Congress is expected to re-
store this item to the 1851 supply
bill.
At least some of the heavy slash
made by the House in the District
payments to private hospitals for
the care of the INDECENT sick may
be restored. House sums for sewer
work to prevent flooding also may
be increased.
The 1851 estimates of the Dis
trict Commissioners, sent to Con-
gress last January. called for an
outlay of more than $119 million.
The city heads already had
slashed many millions from the
original requests of their depart
ments.

Business as Usual

In addition to paying 81 percent
more for zinc, the Army and Navy
had to get tough before they could
even buy enough zinc for batteries
urgently needed in Korea. Assistant
Secretary of the Army Alexander
and Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Koehler personally had to put pres
sure on the zinc companies in order
to get military orders filled.
Believe it or not, these companies

erican Smelling and refining, and
American Zinc Company of Illinois
wanted to take care of their
civilian clients first rather than
risk losing business. Now the same
companies are protesting agains.

strategic stockpile.
The basic commodities used in
the manufacture Of military items
were the first to skyrocket after
Korea. Crude rubber shot up 1862
percent, with some British COM
panies charging as high as 300 per-
cent above the pre-Korean price
The price of wool, so essential for
the freezing Korean winter, in

Korean Costs Increase

Most people don't realize that
the cost of the Korean war to the
taxpayers has been increased by
about five billion dollars, because
of two factors: l. Unpatriotic war
manufacturers and raw-materlal
dealers have hiked prices; 2. Presi-
dent Truman, though given ample
power by Congress, has failed to
invoke price controls.
AS a result, it now costs the
Armed Services more for their
needs, without exception, than they
paid before the Korean outbreak.
Probably the most shameful is the
sudden increase in the price of
medical and surgical goods, urg-
emily needed to save lives in Korea.
The Army must now pay $3.50 for
an instrument and medicine cabinet
that cost only s195 before the Kor-
can war. The price of glycerin, a
medical compound in demand in
military hospitals, has shot up ia
percent. Even rubber surgical glow
es for operating on wounded sold
iers have increased in price from
II to % cents per pair.
The high-octane aviation fue
that keeps our planes flying ovel
Korea costs 80 percent more thar
before the war. AT the same time
fuel oil has shot up 54 percent. Tht
Air Force is also paying as higs
as ITS percent more for resistors

paying 10 to II percent more 70,

First let Ride

Secretary of the Air Force Fin
letter is still a little breathless
from his first jet ride-a hasty
spur-of the moment flight just be-
fore he left Fort Worth, Texas, last
week.
Still in his double breasted suit,
the mild hammered Air Force Boss
was stuffed into jet suit, a he'll
met was clamped on his head and
the chin strap cinched tightly under
his jaw. Just as he opened his
mouth to comment, an oxygen hose
was thrust into his mouth, and he
was deposited unceremoniously in
an F-80 jet fighter.
The plane zoomed into the Texas
sky, cut few capers in the CLINT
of the sun, then swooshed back 30
landing. Finletter was little
wobbly as he crawled out of the
cockpit. The helmet was popped
off his head like cork, leaving
an imprint of the tight-fitting
headgear on his bald head.
Perspiration washed his face, and
his double breasted suit was damp
from the 9O-degree Texas heat.

remember to tell Finletter that i
was a good thing he didn't tampel
with the lever on his seat. 1t woult
have catapulted him out into space
and left him to depend on hi
