Mayor Harvey has also voiced
his approval of the plans already
made by Mrs. Delio Cobo, card
party chairman and Mrs. Orion
Russell, co-chairman.
All local organizations and per
sons in this community are urged
by Chairman Harvey TO do their
bit" in order that others may
walk and that sufficient money
may be made available to aid
scientists to discover cure before
polio hits again. He urges these
people to contact him TO make
suggestions and to volunteer for
theatre collections, soliciting. eX-
hlbitions and the like.
He said today Experience has
taught me in handling this drive
during the past three years that
organizations and people usually do
not wait to be approached first.
People automatically put their
Christmas presents away at the
start of the new year and their
aext step is to remember that Jan
uary is the month for the March
of Dimes. Then volunteers, dollars
and dimes begin to pour in again.
1t is my ardent hope that this will
be enacted again this year"

As Holiday Gift

Municipal Court Judge John j.
Malloy gave 80 drunkS Christmas

SIS or one-day sentence, which al
lowed all of them to go free.
The drunk and traffic court
calendars were considered unusu-
ally light after police throughout
the city took note of Christmas
and helped more persons home
than they locked up. Only four
traffic cases were pressed despite
Wednesdays extremely heavy
Christmas rush.
One man, who was charged
with being drunk, refused to tell
police why he was walking in the
vicinity of Eleventh and K streets
NV. without any pants. First
precinct officers turned headquar-
ters inside out to find an extra
pair of pants so he could be
brought to court.

Physical Standards Cut
In Drafting Doctors
BY the Associated Press

The Defense Department today
announced lowering of physical
requirements which will allow an
other examination of 1000 doc
tors, dentists, and veterinarians
previously rejected for military
service.
The department said it's lowered
standards would permit fuller use
of doctors who are under selec-
tive service or in the officers re-
serve, without hurting the quality
of medical care in the armed serv-
ices.
The announcement also said a
saving equal to the services Of
1000 physicians has resulted from
relieving military doctors from
medical duties. Deaths among
wounded getting medical treat
ment since the Korean war. it
added, are running at only half
the World War II rate.

Liquor Stores
Lag in Applying
For Licenses
ABC Warns Dealers
They Must Get Permit
Before February !

The men who sell the stuff that
adds holiday glow to the holi-
day cheer may find themselves
with a rousing headache brought
on only indirectly by liquor. the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
warned today.
Those who hold liquor licenses
are tardy with their applications.
the ABC said. The number on
file is far behind previous years.
New licenses must be displayed
by February /. But it takes time
to process the applications. and
those who don't apply by Wednes-
day may find themselves unable
to open for business on February /.
Liquor Stores Slow.
The most serious situation faces
those who sell by the bottle and
case-the package liquor stores.
Only 267 of the present 387 Ii
censees have filed for renewal.
The Commissioners have frozen
the number of licenses for package
stores at 300, but will allow all
387 now in business to continue
operating-if they apply. No new
licenses will be issued until the
number gets below 300.
One package store-operated by
Hyman Minkoff at 1400 North
Capitol street-has been doing
business for several years without
license. An order revoking his
license is being tested in the
courts.
Bars Also Lag.
Of the 1891 places which dis
pense drinks over the bar, only
800 have filed for license renewal.
The board noted that many hotels
including the Raleigh, the Roger
Smith and the Lafayette-have
not yet applied.
Only a third of the city's private
clubs have asked for renewal of
their licenses-including the Ma
tional Press Club, which has held
license No. l since repeal of pro-
Ihibition.

Reductions in Budqet
Before Tax Cuts Urged
By Three in Congress
BY the Assoeiofed Press


Three influential members of
Congress said last night that Fed
eral spending should be reduced
before Congress cuts taxes but a
fourth served notice he will move
to chop about 5 per cent off in
come levies.
Representative Reed, Repub-
lican, of New York, due to become
chairman of the tax-wmting
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, said, There is no doubt that
by cutting out non-essential Gov
ernment expenditures, the budget
can be brought into balance and
the savings passed along to the
people in the form of tax relief"
Representative Reed said that
when the new Republican Con-
gress meets on January 3, he will
introduce a bill to reduce indi-
vidual income taxes a little more
than 5 per cent next year. The
following year, he said, he will
move for another tax cut, bring
ing the two-year total to II per
cent. That would just about wipe
out the post-Korea tax increase
which took effect II months ago.
Three Favor Balanced Budget.
Those who said the budget
should be balanced before there
is serious talk of tax cut were
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, in line to head
the Senate Appropriations Com
Senator Byrd, Democrat,
OF Virginia. a member of the FL
nance Committee which considers
tax bills. and Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York,
due to head the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
All four expressed their views in
reply to a query from the WASH
lngton Report, publication of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
Senator Byrd said that Con-
gress cannot justify tax reduction
and deficit spending. He declared
that SIS to $40 billion must be
trimmed off the Federal budget
next year and again in 1854.
Then he said, taxes may be
reduced accordingly"
Defense Fund Held Ample.
Senator Bridges said the Eighty
third Congress should work to
balance the budget before consid-
ering tax cuts and he added that
lin view of President-elect EiSen-
hower's views on the need of econ
omy. believe that the White
House and Congress. working as a
team, can balance the budget"
Both Senator Bridges and SEN
ator Taber indicated that the mil
itary budget will have to stand
the brunt of any substantial
budget reductions. Taber said the
Defense Department has enough
money on hand to carry it for
three years. Likewise, he added,
sufficient money has been voted
for foreign economic and military
aid Ito carry the operation along
for seven years and in some cases
for 10 years."

AIexandrians 10 Meet
On Row Threatening
U.S.. Housing Funds

Alexandria's council and hous
ing authority were to confer toda!
in an attempt to solve a low-ren
housing wrangle. The controversy
threatens the city with the loss o.
Federal funds.
The meeting was scheduled fol
.2::30 this afternoon in council
chambers. Councilman Leroy S
Bendheim requested it. He is
chairman of the council Housing
Committee.
The row began with arguments
between union and union
firms.
148-Unit Project Planned.
Bids were received November 6
on a contract for construction of
a 148-unit low-rent housing prof.
ect to be built directly north of
the old Parker Gray School.
Victor R. Beauchamp, Inc, of
Washington. a company which
uses only union labor. submitted
the low Bid $4,l57, ,840-accord-
ing to Glenn U Richard of the
Alexandria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority.
But non-union firms protested.
They objected that they couldn't t
get subcontracts from the union
firm. The Alexandria authority
recommended that the low bids
be turned down.
Danger of Delay Cited.
That brought up for consider
alton bid from Eugene Simp-
son g. Bros. of Alexandria, which
has an open-shop union agree
ment. The Simpson bid was $62,-
500 higher than the Beauchamp
figure. No contract has been
awarded yet.
The Public Housing Administra-
ton. which opposes the rejection
of the low bid, has warned that
the delay has jeopardized Gov
ernmeat financial aid allocated
for the project.
Mr. Richard said he doesn't
think a problem like this has ever
been ruled on and that his group
is still hunting legal advice. He
said the Alexandria authority has
asked the State attorney general
for a decision.

uIIpIOFC Ills lVlIlS COIluttiOIlS,
states Health Inspector Raymond
Wilson. a familiar visitor to the
area. But they don't have the
money"
The city has fined a few own
ers for failing to connect-seven
in three years. Usually the fine
has been $40 or SIS. A judge
ordered one man to pay 81. He
spent several nights locked up
because he didn't have the money
A sympathetic assistant corpora
ton counsel finally paid it.
The situation is a little awk-
ward. since it's the city's fault
that 225 homeowners have no
lines they can connect to.
People Are Better Class.
Inspectors do all they can to
encourage optimum sanitation. ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilson. He gives
most Marshall Heights credit for
good intentions.
"You find a lot fewer whiskey
and beer cans out there than
generally in the slums," he said.
1.-THE people are a better class"
Furthermore, because of the al
most rural conditions, fresh air
and sunshine help to maintain
better health than in mid-city
slumS, he pointed out.
But many houses remain unsafe
and insanitary, despite the best
intentions. according to the Of
f1cials.
Thirty cases currently are pend
ing. Nearly 200 have been before
the Board for Condemnation of
Insanitary Buildings in the last
three years.
Mr.. Cary calls the house in
volved in this case "the worst in
the District" Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue recently loosed
a public blast against the Con-
gressional Intervention, although
without naming names.
The owner of the house says
he wants to build two new houses
on his property and stay in the
condemned one in the meantime.
The District isn't satisfied he is
actually going to build. or if so,
when.
In another case, the board hasn't
put up a condemned notice
because officials expect the house
to fall down, doing the job for
them. The owner had hillside
excavated around it with the in
tention of building himself a new
house nearby. He's still in the old
one.
| Sometimes the only place the
owner of a condemned house can
go is Blue Plains, the city's home
for destitute aged. Some 60 there.
The board has bent over back
wards to be reasonable, according
to Mr.. Cary.
Loans Are Hard to Get.
Mr.. Edmond, who still heads the
civic association but no longer
lives in the area, admits that
some residents have had trouble
digging up the money to make
improvements. It's difficult, he
explained for them to obtain
loans.
He hopes, he added. to work out
some organization to help resi-
dents with their rebuilding, per-
haps next spring.
| District officials aren't too op-
timistic about the future pace of
municipal Improvements in the
area. There is a timetable-or-
Iiginally ending next year-but Mr..
Kemp can't see where he will find
the money to finish sewer install
