Senators Weiqh
Economies in
DC. Budget
New Move to Restore
Lump Sum Payment
Of $l2MiIIion Seen

Economy proposals were up for
consideration today. as q Senate
subcommittee sought to complete
its version of the Districts 1852
budget bill.
There were indications that the
group. headed by Senator Hill,
Democrat. of Alabama, probably
will recommend no large increases
over the $137.7 million passed by
the House.
In moves to save funds against
future needs. some were predict
ing the subcommittee will drop
many Of the requests of the Com
missioners for additional employees.
The House already has eliminated
80 per cent of the 671 extra Jobs
the CITY heads requested last jan
uary. Since then, the Commits
sioners have cut back sharply on
their requests.
Payment Cut Protested.
A move to restore the Federal
to the full authorized SO
million was expected to be started
by the Hill subcommittee. Sew
eral OF its members have objected
to the House proposal to cut this
by $1.2 million or 10 per cent.
There seemed some doubts yes
terday, however, as to what action
the full Senate Appropriations
Committee and the Senate might
do on this issue.
Chairman Hill said he will make
the strongest fight possible to get
a fund to begin the f1uoridation
OF the city water supply as a
means Of protecting the teeth of
children. Estimates of the costs
for the first year range all the way
from $4,000 to $196, 900.
Golf Funds Apparently Lost.
Apparently lost is a District re-
quest for SITS, 900 to take I'D the
golf concession contract of S. G.
Leof1er. It was abandoned by the
House. and indications are it will
not be recommended by the Sem
ate subcommittee. One member
said he would like to see the Dis
trict run the public links, but that
it would be hard to show that the
outlay of 5000 this year was a
necessary expense.
The Senate is expected to be
asked to grant fund of around
$250.000 to permit police to stay
on a f1ve-day work week, with
volunteers being paid for work on
a sixth day. The House had elm
mated a requested $353.000 for
this purpose, along with funds for
an increase in the force.

Face RFC Official
In Fender Dumping

Gerald B. Hadlock. So, of sol
North Wayne street, Arlington,
executive director of the Office of
Rubber Reserve, Reconstruction
Finance Corp, faces trial in Ar
lington County Court August on
hit and run and drunken driving
charges.
Mr.. Hadlock, who said last
night the whole thing is a case
of mistaken identity, was arrested
by Arlington County police early
yesterday at his home. He was
released without bond with in
structions to reappear for the
court hearing.
A neighbor, Richard Staley, OF
500 North Wayne street identified
Mr.. Hadlock as the motorist who
damaged his fender while park
ing early yesterday.
Mr.. Staley told police that when
he heard the crash, he went out
and asked the motorist his name,
but at first got no answer. Even
tually, Mr.. Staley said, the
motorist shoxted that his name
was Schwartz" and departed
toward a nearby apartment.
Police Trace Owner.
Police were called by Mr.. Staley,
and they located an apartment
where a man named Schwartz
lived. After waking him, however,
police said they discovered he
was not the driver or owner of
the car parked next to Mr..
Staley's. Then they checked the
automobile next to Mr.. Staley's
and reported it belonged to Mrs.
Hadlock. That led them to the
Hadlock apartment, where Mr.
Staley identified Mr.. Hadlock as
the motorist who had banged
into his fender.
After talking with Mr.. Hadlock
police added the drunk driving
charge. Damage to the fender
was estimated at SIS.
Mr.. Hadlock denied the charges
asserting:
Certain charges have beer
made against me by Mr.. Richard
Staley. I at no time used ar
automobile the night of july
1920. I returned home from
work by bus at $3.50 pm. and wa:
at home from that time with my
wife until Mr.. Staley came to my
home. Mrs. Hadlock used oul
car all day until about 8:15 pm.

Fined 500 In December.
Mrs. Hadlock said when police
and Mr.. Staley came to the house
they didn't even know who they
were looking for, and asked fol
some one named "Wall."
Arlington police records show
that Gerald Hadlock, identified as
an RFC official, was arrested last
December % after a pre- Christ
mas party at the RFC Building on
a drunk driving charge. The
charge was reduced to reckless
driving, however, and Mr.. Had
lock was fined 500.
