Simpson Asks Action
On Rent Staff's Paw

Chairman Simpson of the
House District Committee today
promised to intercede for the
workers in the District rent
control Office, who have gone
10 weeks without pay.
He will ask Representative
Taber. Republican, of New York,
who heads the House Appropri-
ations Committee, to schedule
the House-Senate conference on
the bill as soon as possible
RepreSe entative Simpson
warned, however, that lit might
not be good policy to stir up"
the committee too much.
The Illinois Republican acted
after appeals from Commission
er Renah F. Camalier and Rent
Control Administrator Robert
Cogswell.
The $37,5 to pay rent con-
troll employees is in the third
1853 supplemental appropriation
bill. Both Senate and House
have passed it, but in different
versions. It awaits a conference
before final passage.
Meanwhile, the 20 employees
involved observed their fifth
payless payday today.

U. 5. Seeks $61,772
In Additional Taxes
From Louis WoIfson

The Federal Government has
filed a claim for $61,772 in addi-
ticnal taxes against Louis E.
Wolfson, chairman of the board
of the Capital Transit Co.
The assessment in the United
States Tax Court claims that
Mr.. Wolfson owes this sum on
$4,000 political contribution
and on 1928, 900 transferred to
three transit company execu-
tiveS.
Mr.. Wolfson, in turn, has filed
protest in the court saying he
does not owe the additional taxes
as claimed. The transactions
occurred in 1948 and 1949.
The Florida industrialist, whose
empire spreads over the entire
country. testified before Senate
Crime Committee in 1850 that he
had contributed more than $780,
900 to the political campaign Of
Florida's Gov. Fuller Warren.
The transfer of funds to busi-
ness associates involved j. A. b.
Broadwater., Jack Surasky and
Doran Weinstein, the Govern
ment contended.
Mr.. Broadwater is president Of
Capital Transit Co., Mr.. SuraSky
is a member Of the Board Of
Directors, Mr.. Weinstein is ex-
ecutive vice president of the
transit company. All became
connected with the transit COM
pany in 1949 when Mr.. Wolfson's
Florida group bought control Of
the company.

The Street Was His Playground
Until That Auto Last Year.

The desperate robber" raced
up the sidewalk, two small fry
cops hard on his heels.
The thug" darted into the
street. The first cop" charged
after him. The second cop"
froze at the curb's edge.
Intentsas he was on his game
of cops and robbers, the thought
of the street set bells ringing in
the mind of 6-year-old Jimmy.
There is plenty of cause for
concern about the dangers of the
busy street in the Perez house
hold. Last summer. Jimmy was
struck by a car. Mrs. Perez had
to give UP working to take care
of him.
Then, in February. Jimmy's
brother Johnny, IL, was injured
seriously when he was hit by a
streetcar. He was gravely ill
with conclusion in Gallinger
Hospital.
The Perez children like the
outdoors and lots of space to run
and jump. Living in the crowded
city with no back yard at home
puts limitations on those things.
Mrs. Perez has an added prob
lem in trying to help her chill
dren get used to a new land.
She came to the United States
about five years ago from Puerto
Rico as domestic with a fam
lily for whom she was working
Gradually she accumulated
money to bring the children over.
Mr.. Perez is dead.
Jimmy and Maria. IL. arrived
last, two years ago. Another
child, Teresa, Is. is the fifth
member of the family living in
the basement one-room-and-
kitchen apartment. Two elder
brothers are away.
A passageway leads from the
back of the house to an alley
behind. The front yard is a
concrete slab about six feet deep
and as wide as the narrow row
house in which the family lives.
It doesn't make much of a
playground for growing young

11th and T Signs TO Stop
Vehicles in All Directions

The Commissioners today ap-
proved the placing Of traffic
signs at Eleventh and F streets
NV. which will stop all traffic
to permit pedestrians to cross in
any direction. The signs are ex-
pected to be in operation within
two months.
Traffic Director George E..
Keneipp said the signs are being
put up as an experiment and will
operate a special ALFRED pedes-
trian period in the existing traf-
flc signal time. This type of
pedestrian control has proved
satisfactory in several other
cities.
Mr.. Keneipp said that during
an average hour there are 4,257
pedestrians using all croSSwalks
at this intersection and the pres
ent type of control results in
conflicts between Ourning We
hicles and pedestrians. Under
the new system vehicular traffic
capacity viii be increased at the
intersection.

Andrews Plan Hit
As Economy Stab

Civilian use of Andrews Air
Force Base would set a dangerous
precedent and the money in
volved would violate admins
tration economy pledges, Rep
resentative Frank Small, jr.,
charged today.
Expressing his opposition
with all possible emphasis" the
Maryland Republican, in iden-
tical letters to Defense Secretary
Wilson and Commerce Secretary
Weeks said:
If Washington were ever the
object Of enemy attack, the first
targets would be military install
lations. Also, I cannot believe
that commercial airlines pas
Sengers would have any appetite
for flights arriving at Andrews
Air Force Base where there would
be exposure to military practice
flights"
Mr.. Small, who represents the
States 5th district, declared
that he does not oppose the plan
"just to side with my constitu-
ents in the affected area" but
also ito keep faith with my cam
paign pledge for economy in
government, which I assumed
was a pledge of the entire Re-
publican party"

Montgomery Farmers
Battle Invasion Of
Hungry Army Worms

An Upper Montgomery County
farm has become a battle-ground
between hungry army worms at
tacking a 40-acre barley field
and men spreading massive doses
of poison.
Wheat bran mixed with paris
green Is being scattered in front
Of the advancing horde to save
as much Of the crop as possible
and to stop the worms from in
yading adjoining farms.
A concentration of the worms
was noticed Saturday on the
farm of Sam Clammer, just north
of Beallsville. on State Route %.
In a short time the worms had
ruined most Of the barley and
were beginning to consume the
alfalfa underneath.
Such serious invasions occur
when wind currents distribute
night-f1ying moths in large num-
bers on areas containing lush
crops. The moths lay eggs on
grasses and small grains.
Eggs hatch into caterpillars.
The chewing action of the raw
enously hungry army worms is
audible on still days. farmers say.
Millions of worms have invaded
the Clammer farm.
Three years ago a neighboring
farm was attacked by another
army. The neighbor farmer,
Audry Shawyer, beat the worms
then and is acting as dietician
in this fight.
He recommended the mixture
Of 100 pounds Of wheat bran, gar
nished with 2 pounds of Paris
green. The worms love the stuff,
he said. They'll leave any
thing else to eat it," he said.
One dose Of this is not
enough to wipe out an army, he
said. "Five or six worms are
growing up behind the one you
kill" he said. you've got to 60
back and broadcast the bran
again before you aget them ALL"
An Agriculture Department
bulletin says army worm dam
age has been exceedingly great"
A full-grown. front-line army
worm measures about an inch
and q half. He wears three
stripes. one on each side and one
along his back. The stripe on
his back usually has q fine, light
colored stripe down It's center.

New Gray Hairs.
Chief Murray, who took the
top job at the age of 46, figures
he has one new gray hair for
every day of his Is months on
the force.
AT the time he took office, a
Senate District Committee in
-vestigation of crime here was
under way, his predecessor had
fought unsuccessfully through
the courts against answering the
committees financial question:
naire, the public was suspicious
and the men >on the beat were
unhappy. The public became
more suspicious and the police
unhappier as succeeding months
brought charges from witnesses
against individual officers. In this
setting, the criminal element was
in it's glory and crime in April.
1852. was the highest for any
April in the city's history.
During that period, Chief
Murray was speaking almost
nightly to civic and business
groups. He was defending the
rank and file of his force and
promising to rout out any Of
tenders. He had already made
it clear. during visits to each
precinct, what he expected of
the men. He issued instructions
to the force spelling out a new
code of ethics. He set up a board
composed of his six deputy chiefs
and his chief clerk to review all
the testimony taken by the Sem
ate committee, question all wit
nesses and make recommends.

cluding two public reprimands,
were approved by the CommiS-
Sioners.
While coping with these head
aches - inherited and new -
Chief Murray has found time to
reorganize his department, push
for new crime-curb laws, seek
community support in crime pre-
vention and set new policies for
dealing with the law-abiders and
the law violatorS. Here are some

Lowe 10 Avoid
New Boards in
We|fdreAgency
Hints Reorganization
Will Follow Decision
Of Former City Heads

Schuyler Lowe, the Districts
General Administration director,
today strongly intimated to the
Commissioners that his plans for
revamping the Health and Wei
fares departments enviSion no
new operating boards at their
heads.
Mr.. Lowe, who is in charge
OF the government reorganiza-
ton program, reminded the city
heads that the previous Board
of Commissioners. which testi-
fled on the overall program when
it was being considered by Con-
gress last year, came out plainly
against the formation of such
boards anywhere in the NUM-
cipal Setup.
The Welfare Department at
present is guided by a policy
making board. A report recently
prepared by an advisory COM
mittee on medical care for in
digentS recommended establish
ing a similar board to control
the Health Department.
Opposition Constant.
While the position taken by a
former Board of Commissioners
is not necessarily binding on. the
present board, Mr.. Lowe appar-
emily is being guided by the
principles voiced at the congress
sional hearings. He said that
opposition to operating boards is
constantly recurring theme in
the hearing testimony.
The subject came up today
when the Advisory Committee,
which favors a health board, for
mally requested the Commission
ers for a special hearing to state
its views before the Health De-
partment reorganization pro-
gram is finally drafted. The city
heads instructed Mr.. Lowe to ar
range a convenient date with DR..
Wallace M. Yater, vice chairman
Of the committe.
At the moment, the health re-
organization plan is only in the
preliminary draft form.
Keneipp Offers Own Plan.
In other reorganization devel-
opments today, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp offered his
own plan countering reorganiza-
tion proposals that would merge
part of the present Vehicles and
Traffic Department with the
Highway Department, and the
Commissioners agreed to try to
step up the time table of reor-
ganization. The framework of
the program must be completed
by June 80.
The city heads agreed, for one
thing, to hold their own hearing
Thursday on the combined high
way-traffic department reorgan-
ization proposal. Commissioner
Samuel Spencer said that
shortly thereafter" he hopes the
Commissioners may reach a de-
ciSion on that plan, as well as
the reorganizers' proposal for
consolidating licensing and in
Spection functions into one CEN
tral department.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. Prentiss suggested a time
table that would list certain dates
by which time the individual
agency reorganization proposals
must be submitted to and de-
cided by the Commissioners. Set
ting up this schedule also means
consultation with the various ad-
viSory groups which are having
a hand in reorganization in an
effort to speed up their delib-
erationS.
