House Unit Hears DC.
Budget Witnesses,
Seeks EconomyCu
By Don S. Worren

A search for all possible econ
omies in the Districts already
swollen 1852 budget was under
way today by members of the
Bates subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee.
How deep the cuts will be is to
be decided at conferences, prob
ably starting Monday, on writing
of the 1852 supply bill.
One member said it is possible
some of the Districts construction
programs will have to be held up
because of the defense program.
A record budget of $136.7 mil
lion was recommended by the
Commissioner last January. But
now it has grown to about $140
million with the addition of some
$3.5 million submitted by District
officials. mostly to cover inflated
costs of construction projects.
Only One Asks Cuts.
Fifty-four witnesses yesterday
poured thousands of words of
recommendations into the Bates
subcommittee record. But only
one witness called for a reduced
spending plan. He was Benjamin
Striner, speaking for the Fedora
ton of Businessmen Association.
When all the obligations in
volved in pending supply bill are
added up, Mr.. Striner said, they
total more than $149 million. This
does not reflect drive for an
other round of salary boosts for
the Districts $4,000 employees, he
added.
The size of the Federal pay
ment came up several times and
members of the Bates subcom-
mittee said later they will fight to
get the full $12 million now au-
thorized by law. The payment
was cut 10 per cent this year
and a similar cut probably will be
sought for the next fiscal year by
a group led by Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York
ranking minority member Of the
Appropriations Committee.
Against such expectations, Her
bert P. Leeman, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, voiced a demand for a re-
turn to the 60-40 ratio that pre-
vailed prior to 1922.
Concerted demands also were
made on Congress to grant more
money for relief and other public
assistance programs of the Dis
trict.
The United Community Services
of Washington led the way IN
fighting for approval of more
liberal budget for relief of the
$4,000 aged, i'll, handicapped Or
child dependents who require
city aid.
Supported by Others.
It was joined by the League OF
Women Voters and some others
in asking adoption of proposed
$5O0,O00 increase in the public
assistance fund.
Other witnesses sought an in
crease from $5OO,000 to $s94,00C
lin the medical charities fund to
cover the cost of INDECENT patients
care at private hospitals. Ap-
pearing for the increase were DR.
Frank Costenbader for the Dis
Itrict Medical Society and DR.. John
Minor, chief of medical services
at Emergency Hospital.

'Overhond Joe' Helps Train
Lawmakers for Ball Game

Democrats and Republicans
who will meet at Griffith Stadium
May Is for the annual Congress
sional baseball game have tangled
with the science of the sport.
Science triumphed.
Science, in the form of "Over-
hand Joe." the machine with a
college education, is a mechanical
pitcher. 1t was not originally de-
signed to hurl fast ones at Con-
gressmen. It's purpose is to pro-
vide batting ~practice pitches for
regular league teams without
wearing out lot of pitching arms.
Joint Committee Forms.
But word filtered through to the
respective training camps of the
Democrats and Republicans that
Overland Joe was being given a
trial at Fort Meyer. The Congress-
men formed an impromptu joint
committee and hustled over for an
on -the-spot investigation.
AS they arrived, Mickey Grasso,
catcher for the Mats, was saying,
"It should be very helpful for
clubs that don't have a good many
batting practice pitchers"
This interested the Democrats
and the Republicans right away.
It's general knowledge that neither
team has many pitching arms to
waste. And they said they'll take
a look at anything that will help
them put on a good show for the
patrons who will pay ST, $3.50 or
So to see the game next week.
The annual charity contest,
sponsored by The Star, is to pro-
vide funds to send to summer

Civil Defense
Aides Urged TO
Widen Plans
Asked to Include
Congress- Employees
And Capitol Workers

congressional leaders nave
called on the Federal Civil De-
fense Administration to draw up
plans for Congress and Capitol
employees in case Washington is
attacked, it was revealed today.
A conference leading to the re-
quest was held yesterday in the
Offices of House Speaker Rayburn,
attended by Congressional officials
and Philip j. Coyle, FCDA field
administrative aide. A similar
meeting already had been held by
members of the Senate Rules
Committee, it was reported.
The action marks the first
move to bring the legislative
branch into the citys overall civil
defense plan. Up until now the
activity has been limited to or
ganization at the District Gov
ernment level. with plans for the
executive branch under control of
the National Security Resources
Board.
Question of Authority.
In theory. the Federal agency
would like to see the entire civil
defense organization of the city
under the control of the Districts
civil defense director, John E.
Fondahl. Inspector Fondahl, how
ever. has expressed the opinion
that his authority did not extend
to Federal property.
Meanwhile, a new civil defense
activity designed to prepare house.
wives to protect their homes and
families against an atomic attack
was approved at a meeting of Dis
|trict deputy directors.
The scheme is the brain-child of
Mrs. Joyce Doyle of 3O41 Porter
street NV. who carried on a SIM
liar program in London during
World War II.
Mrs. Doyle, who has been the
star of the District civil defense
Speakers Bureau. proposed to
start the new program as a branch
Iof the warden service. An enthu-
siastic volunteer, she also is In
charge Of evacuation plans for
Gerard Shea, head of the welfare
service.
Would Brief Housewives.
Mrs. Doyle's proposes to or
ganize a women's group to brief
housewives in the city on their
duties in case of attack. These
would include measures to protect
the home and family, insuring
that all children get off the
streets when the air raid sirens
are sounded and giving help to
neighbors on each side Of her In
case of trouble.
In another development of yes
terday's weekly directors meeting
lit was disclosed that the Districts
civil defense budget for the COM
ing fiscal year will be presented
to Congress within a month. The
budget estimates will exceed
greatly the 81 million earmarked
for civil defense purposes in the
overall city budget, 1t was learned
The total estimate is expected tc
be more than $5 million.
Movie Planned
On the Federal civil defense
front, a sound movie entitled
I"Civil Defense for Schools" is
being planned. Representatives o1
the Federal agency, the United
States Office of Education anc
the National Education Associa-
ton will meet next Monday anc
Tuesday at NEA headquarters tc
plan production Of the film. A July
deadline has been set for the
movie. according to DR.. M. r

better to see what so women do
than to ask 5000 what they have

study her technique.
The cakes we will see were baked
by women who bake cakes regu-
larly for their families but have
never made this specific cake be-
fore. The cakes will be judged
by the women before being
brought to the luncheon, then we
will have q chance to compare our
judgment with that of the home
