Conferees Will Hold
First Meeting Today
On D. {. Budget Bill

House and Senate conferees on
the District budget bill for this
fiscal year were to hold their first
meeting this afternoon.
The major change made by the
Senate was to restore the Federal
payment to the full $12 million
authorized in the 1947 District
Revenue Act. The House, in its
first action on the bill. had moved
to slice this by $1.2 million or 10
per cent.
With the possible exception of
this item, conferees hoped to ar
rive at a quick agreement. The
Senate. which passed the bill yes
terday in seven minutes, has
added only $630,O00 to the House
items, bringing the total to 1884
million.
AS passed by the Senate, the
bill is $21 million below the Com
missioners' requests, but $179
million above appropriations for
the 1851 fiscal year.
One of the new items written
into the bill by the Senate is $780,
900 for f1uoridation of the District
water supply to prevent decay in
the teeth of children. Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama, head of the
Senate subcommittee in charge of
the bill, said this would be self
liquidating program since the cost
would be covered by water service
rates. District officials said this
would mean no immediate in
Grease in rates.
The Senate yesterday named, as
its managers on the bill, Demo-
cratic Senators O'Mahoney of Wy
|oming, Mcclellan of Arkansas and
Nicely of West Virginia, in addition
to Chairman Hill, and Republican
Senators Ferguson of Michigan
and Wherry of Nebraska.
The House named as it's con-
ferees Democratic Representatives
Bates of Kentucky, Yates of Illi-
|nois, Furculo of Massachusetts,,

can Representatives Stockman of
Oregon and Wilson of Indiana.
On the request of Chairman
