Give Up Detail Work
On Budget, Donohue
Urges Congress
Legislators Should Limit
Functions to Deciding
U. S. Shore, He Declares
By John w. Stepp

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue today advanced the idea that
Congress should legislate itself out
of the power of reviewing the
District budget in detail.
Mr.. Donohue made the sugges-
tion during a Commissioners
board discussion of general
budgetary matters.
While no action was recon-
mended or taken at this time, Mr.,
Donohue said that he favors
checking into the possibilities
with the Federal Budget Bureau
the corporation counsel's office
and key Congressman.
Would Decide Amount Only.
At this stage his idea is to have
the details of future District
budgets reviewed only by the
Budget Bureau. acting for the
President. Congress function
would be merely to decide the
amount that the Federal Govern
ment would share in local govern
ment operation.
The Commissioner said that this
procedure would spare Congress
the time and effort it now devotes
to District budget hearings. He
said. moreover, that Congress
shouldn't be concerned with how
many traffic lights we need" The
latter statement was an oblique
reference to a Representatives
move during recent House COM
mittee budget hearings to cut a
recommended increase in the num-
ber Of traffic signal installations
here.
Deficit Safeguard Cited.
Mr.. >Donohue further pointed
out that Congress need not worry
about the city's financial struc-
ture under his proposed change,
since there already exists a statute
prohibiting the District from op-
Ierating with a deficit.
None of the Commissioners
present-including incoming Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier-
offered any comment to Mr.. DON
ohue's suggestion.
Evening star., 1952-04-29

In Prospect for District in SO

pointed out that about four years
ago he had suggested the red
white-and-blue tags. but nothing
came of it. Gen. Robinson and
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue
said they liked the idea.
The fancier tags, it was pointed
out, would cost 20 cents a set
to manufacture, about 10 cents
more than present tags.
Commissioner Donohue said he
thought the license plates should
more clearly identify Washington
as the Nations Capital. He has
driven across the country IL times.
he said. and on each trip many
people asked him what the %. c."
on his license plates meant.
District tags this year have yel-
low numerals on a black back
ground. Last year the colors were
reversed. The city has used the
black-yellow combination every
year since 1928 with the excep-
ton of 1885. when a greenland
white combination was usA.
