Land Transfers Officials Pledge
For Fairgrounds Special Plea for
Near ShowdownLaure| Center
City Heads to Stress
Urgency Of Need for
New ChiIdren's Home

The District Commissioners yes
terday pledged themselves to make
a special plea for an $4,000
planning fund to further the Chill
dren's Center when the welfare
budget is considered tomorrow by
a Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee.
The $4,000 would be used to
prepare plans for a new National
Training School for Girls at the
proposed Children's Center at
Laurel. Md. At the new site. it
would be called the Industrial
Home School for Colored Girls.
Commissioners F. Joseph DON
ohue and Bernard L. Robinson
both said they would back up
Welfare Director Gerard Shea in
urging the fund. Commissioner
John Russell Young put in a plug
for it when he surveyed budget
needs at the opening session on
the Senate side last week.
Public to Be Heard.
The public will have a chance
to speak up for the 86,0OO-as
we'll as the $260,000 cut by the
House from the welfare budget
when the non-official witnesses
are called Wednesday or later.
More than 80 persons have said
they want to testify on welfare
needs.
In addition to the new plan
ming fund and restoration of most
of the $260,000 cut, the Senators
are certain to hear a plea from
citizens for an additional appro-
priation of $1,400,000 to base re-
lief grants on current minimum
living costs.
This sum was cut from budget
estimates by the Commissioners
on grounds of insufficient funds.
Welfare leaders, however, point
out that the Commissioners have
now discovered they underesti-
mated expected revenues by
$1,80O,0OO.
A plea for enough funds to pro-
vide for the needy at a bare
minimum living cost" was issued
last night by three religious lead
ers.
Joint Plea Made.
The joint appeal was made by
the Most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle,
Archbishop of Washington; the
Rev. Clarence w. Crawford, pres
ident of the Washington Fedora
ton of Churches, and Rabbi
Harry Silverstone, president of
the Washington Board of Rabies.
During Holy Week and the
Passover season, many of us are
thinking deeply of spiritual re-
sponsibilities and privileges" the
statement began.
'As in any large community
there are in Washington the de-
pendent and the unemployable
persons who can exist only
through public help. Caring for
them is the duty of the more
fortunate among us, the promise
of those who heed the great COM
mandment, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself'."
The statement said the Senate
was the last hope in making "the
plight of Washington's helpless
less hopeless"
Should this $1,4OO,0O0 not be
appropriated" the religious lead
ers continued, "then all these
people will be forced to continue
to maintain themselves at 79 per
cent of the absolute minimum
standards for health and decency.
Should we, in our Holy Week
and Passover devotions, be blind
to the moral responsibility which
these facts place upon us, the
spiritual aspirations of this COM
munity would bear a tarnish."

THIS ROCK OF OURS
BILL ciBB

A mother whose two children
are taking Red Cross swimming in
structions wants to know why the
Navy is not permitting use of its
pools this year for these courses.
1t seems that the children meet
in the morning at Bayview Park
and 60 out to Monroe County beach
but that the muddy, shallow water
isn't practical for the purpose.
Insofar as the muddy, shallow
water angle goes, I'm in full ac-
cord with the lady. It is shame
to the community to boast that
good, clean, swimming is possible
any place on the island except in
private pools.
However, the Navy usually has
excellent reasons for Its rules and
regulations. They might feel that
pool facilities are not adequate, for
instance. to handle large groups of
children.
How about calling the Naval Re-
creation Officer and talking with
him directly, Mrs. :. Z"
