"a comprehensive article in The
Sunday Star last March. It
brought quick response from
members of the Senate Appropria-
tions Subcommittee in charge of
the city budget.
It's chairman, Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama, took the
lead in sponsoring the beginning
OF a new program with the $50, 900
plans fund. And it won the active
backing of other Senators, in
cluding Senator Hunt, Democrat,
of Wyoming. who took time from
his busy legislative schedule to

old institutions. finding them de-
|plorable.
Calls Standard Lowest.
Former Governor of his State
and familiar with the problems
of welfare institutions, Senator
Hunt, said:
This is the lowest standard of
institutional service I have ever
seen. and I've been through insti-
tutions in many States. I'd be
willing to say no State has such
low standards as the District for
its charitable institutions.
The item was written into the
District bill by the Hill subcom-
mittee and yesterday it won the
approval of the full Senate Appri-
|priations Committee when it re-
ported to the Senate the Districts
$135 million supply bill for the
year beginning July /.
AS to the Laurel planning fund,
the committee said in it's report:
"The committee indorses the
project as one vitality needed to re-
place the present inadequate IA
cilitieS."
Urged by Citizens.
The fund was recommended by
the Commissioners, their budget
officer, Walter L. Fowler; Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea and
spokesmen for numerous citizens
groups.
Among those who took the
stand at the Senate hearings in
support of the item were A. j.

NEW YORK 1.-THE Greatest
Show oC Earth" is dominated by
European neadhners. How come?
Well ii seems leading American
acts are now almost non-existent
and what few there are are mostly
seen on television. So the Ring
hing Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey Circus recruits most of its
top talent in West Europe.
Descendants of American circus
performers are more apt to be
singers or dancers aiming at the
films, television or radio.
'sThey don't like the hard work
attached to becoming top circus
performer" said a circus spokes-
man.
There is still a strong family
tradition In European circus fami-
lies, he said. The children are
trained to follow thehir parents on
. trapeze or into a lion cage. They
are put into the act as soon as pos
sible.
Oscar Konyot, Hungarian-born
lion tanner and citizen of Milan.
may offer an object lesson in why
the circus is losing its attractive
ness for American performers.
konyot is in the hospital suffering
from a badly mauled left arm.
The lion tanners spectacular per-
fGmance ends as he urges the
lions to dash madly about the big
cage. They leap over him and
bounce from the wire walls. One
lion didn't leap over him--but on
him.

young man, Paul Fritz, Berlin.

Smog To Be

PASADENA, Calf. tR)-The
Pasadena laboratory Of the STAN
ford Research Institute has in
cluded Los Angeles smog in its
scientific investigations.
Smog, combination of smoke
and fog, consists of so different
substances, says DIR. A. M. Zarem,
of the laboratory. These sub
stances are produced by burning
$4,000 tons Of fuel and rubbish
and by exhaust fumes from 3
million motor vehicles.
The scientist believes intensive
research Is necessary TO deter

and to reduce the most irritating
