TIE COVER. Ylla, who took the striking
portrait of the lion cub on Page l, is widely
considered Americas top animal photogra-
pher, and her pictures have appeared in most
of Americas leading magazines In addition,
she has published several books, including the
popular Animals by Ylla" (Hastings House,.
Although she has photographed thousands
of animals in ZOOS, thrusting her camera
between the bars at vicious and snarling
beasts, she has been bitten only once - by
tame Panda which, she was assured, was
completely harmless.
QUOTE. Everyone has his own favorite
Lincoln quotation, and Joseph Auslander's
poem reminds us of ours:
IF were to try to read, much less answer,
all the attacks made on me. this shop might
as well be closed for any other business. do
the very best l know how - the very best
can; and mean to keep doing so until the
end. If the end brings me out all right what is
said against me won't amount to anything. If
the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swear
ing was right would make no difference"
C0Nm1G UP. Lately there has been food
of false rumors about such charitable organ
izations as the Red Cross, Cancer Fund and
March of Dimes If you have heard any
of them, we suggest you read next weeks

THE LIVING LINCOLN
by Joseph Auslander

E1esleeps, the valiant shepherd sleeps, who led
The multitude of his bewildered sheep
From bondage into peace; he is not dead;
He has lain down little while to sleep.
An, not for him the shouting and the glory,
The feast that follows triumph; i'm his mouth
Only the bitter taste of blood, the story
Without an end, the sorrow North and South.
The valiant shepherd of the flock is taken;
The Lord has plucked him from our midst away;
Now when our hearts again are soreIy shaken,
Beset on all sides, for his faith we pray.
He moves among US; we are not forsaken;
His love still sheds light upon our way.

Science is raising the dickens
with the barnyard social register
these days.
This was reported to the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences, the
worlds top scientific organization,
here today by Drs. w. c. Alice of
the University of Florida and
Darhl Foreman Of the University
of Chicago. These two have found
a way to change frowsy old back
alley hens-of good families way
back, of course-into veritable
grand danes. At last reports. the
social repercussions had been
devastating.
Drs. Alice and Foreman produce
their remarkable results by in
jecting the shrinking biddies with
male sex hormons. The accom-
plishment is likely to have such
revolutionary consequences that
any reportorial error would be
most lamentable and the best that
can be done is to repeat verbatim
the technical language in which
all this was revealed today to the

This study in comparative
sociology has focused on results
of daily injections of male hor-
none into hens of low social rank

Keneipp Hopes 10 Impound
More Illegally Cars

Washington needs bigger and
better "car pounds" Traffic Di-
rector George E. Keneipp said last
night.
The best answer to parking vio-
lations, he told the Georgetown
Citizens Association, would be to
step up the impounding of auto
mobiles. But lack of space to hold
the captured cars makes such a
program difficult, he said.
Parking tickets fail to carry
enough weight against violators,
Mr.. Keneipp declared, partly be-
cause many of the violators are
out-of-town drivers, who "often
get away with it.
Mr.. Keneipp said he had been
told by Police Supt. Robert ".
Murray that police department
facilities are inadequate to war
rant an impounding campaign.
Mr.. Keneipp said he hopes to
increase car pound facilities by
making available side streets near
the precinct station. He added
that he plans to take up this
matter in the near future with
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West.

|Chi|Ium Areas Plea
For Fire Department
Service Gets Study

A committee of the Takoma
Park Md City Council today
was studying a proposal that it
restore fire department services
to the nearby Chillum area tenn
porarily for $1,40O.
That proposal from Delegate
William R. Hughes, Republican,
|of Prince Georges, and other sug-
gestions were referred to the Pub
lie Safety Committee by the
Council last night.
There was no indication. how
ever, that either the committee or
the Council is in favor of repeal
ing its ordinance of last October
prohibiting the Takoma Park Fire
Department from servicing the
nearby Prince Georges area except
on second calls.
Mr.. Hughes. who lives in the
Chillum area, where 6-year-old
girl drowned IN a drainage pool
10 days ago. volunteered to raise
81 400 to pay Takoma Park for
fire department service until the
1858 session of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly can call a second
referendum on a special fire tax
for Chillum.
The $1.400 is the amount all
Prince Georges County Fire De-
partments receive each year from
a general 2-cent fire tax. Takoma
Park, however, has not been al
lowed to share in this tax refund.
because its fire department lies in
Montgomery County, although the
city is in both counties.
Mr.. Hughes offered to contrib
ute 500 of the amount himself.
He told the Council of his failure
last week to persuade the Prince
Georges commissioners to pay
Takoma Park from county funds
for restoration of fire and emer-
gency service to Chillum.

Senator Ellender, who never has
been too enthusiastic about the

when he found he was the only

employe promotions. Since both
the House and Senate have agreed

the Civil Service Commission to
make sure that Federal employees
who live in Montgomery County

day to vote in the election.
Mr.. Moore, who was chief coun-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ly. our advice to Federal employees
here who want Government Jobs
in California is: Don't waste your
time unless you have one of the
industrial or professional skills
that are in great shortage these
days. Clerical workers are a dime
a dozen on the West Coast. But
there are openings for all kinds
OF engineers. scientists, doctors.
chemists, electronic workers and
skilled blue collar workers in some
fields. If they need your type of
skill badly enough defense
gency in California will pay your
way there for an interview. if nee
essary. And, Of course. they would
pay for the transportation for you
and your immediate family if you
are hired.
JOBS-The Civilian Defense
Administration needs clerk -typists
and stenographers at grades 3
and 4. The Jobs will last 80 to
go days. Apply to room 1O3,

Fairfax Tax Rate
To Be Set Tomorrow

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors will meet at 2 pm.
tomorrow to set the new tax rate
for next fiscal year.
The $11.3 million budget, which
the board has proposed, contem-
plates a tax increase of 80 cents
to $2.98. The budget was about
evenly opposed and supported by
citizens at a nine-hour hearing
yesterday.
Most of the opposition and sup
port was in general terms. The
Holm Hall Village Citizens Asso-
citation, however, presented specific
proposals to cut the budget by
about $2.3 million in order to re-
tain the present tax rate.

OF saving money.
Other Senators on the group are
non -committal so far. Some of
them are motivated by the anti
employe sentiment prevalent in
this Congress. while others just
don't seem to be concerned one
way or the other.
The result seems to be a toss
up as to whether the Senate COM
mittee will go along with the
House action or vote to kill the
rider.
The provision would require
Federal workers to use their 1852
annual leave by June 30, 1858, or
lose the unused portion. Compli-
eating the situation is the fuzzy
wording of the rider, which could
be read to mean the wiping out
of annual leave accumulated in
former years.
There appears to be little to
worry about in this regard. House
sponsors of the amendment have
specifically stated that the pro-
vision applies only to 1852 annual
leave and would not touch leave
accumulated in former years. And
III some doubt remains about the
riders wording. there's no doubt
that it would be reworded before
final passage to make sure that
it applies to 1852 only. OF course,
employe groups are still hopeful
that the Senate will vote to kill
the rider entirely.

ANNUITIES - Indications are
that the bill to increase the an
|nuities of retired Federal workers
will not be able to get through on
the Senate consent calendar. One
objection is enough to block a
bill on the consent calendar, and
there is talk that such an objec-
ton will be lodged by Senator
Williams, Republican of Delaware.
Senator Williams has long been
critical of Civil Service retirement
financing, dating back to the days
when he was a member of the
Senate Civil Service Committee.
Should Senator Williams object
and block the bill, it would then
have to be scheduled on the reg
ular Senate calendar, where a reg
ular majority vote would prevail.
This would take time and delay
action on the bill for weeks.
Meanwhile, the House Civil Service
Committee still has not scheduled
hearings on the legislation.
AS approved by the Senate Civil
Service Committee, the bill would

fully on the proposal.
