Squeeze Seen
ByCorning 10
Meet Fund Cut
Schools to Continue
Merged Glasses as
House Pores Request
By jones G. Deone

Merging of classes and other
stop-gap measures will have to
continue for the rest of the school
year because of a slash in emer-
gency substitute teacher funds,
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
said today.
The superintendent said the
schools will have a tight squeeze
getting by on an emergency $780,
600 appropriation. passed yes-
terday by the House. An appro-
priation of $4,000 was request
ed. The Senate hasn't acted yet.
DR.. Corning said he couldn't
understand criticism voiced by
the House Appropriations Com
mittee in making the slash. The
committee said school officials
hadn't handled the matter prop
erly, and implied today they
shouldn't have had to ask for the
additional funds.
Changed This Year.
Fund requests for substitutes
have been cut annually for the
last three years. the superin-
tendent said. In the past. school
officials have been able to meet
the gap by transferring savings
from other school funds, but this
year-by congressional man
date-all savings were used for
required pay increase, he ex-
planned.
DR.. Corning said the denial Of
substitute service docs not seem
to be consistent" with the act
of Congress authorizing the hir-
ing Of substitutes.
The school system has had
numerous complaints because
classes have had to be merged
in many cases when a teacher IS
sick, he said. The superintend-
ent called this hard on the chill
dren.
Conference on Cafeterias.
DR.. Corning said he will have
a conference tomorrow with
Robert j. Wilson, executive vice
president of the Washington
Restaurant Association, on a
projected association survey of
school cafeterias. The Board of
Education recently voted to ask
for the survey as the aftermath
of series of student boycotts
protesting menus, food quality
and other matters.
Mr.. Wilson said several other
association members will take
part. He said he didn't know
yet just how the survey will pro-
ceed. .....

Contempt Dismissal
On Patterson Upheld

The q. 8. Court Of Appeals for
the District Of Columbia today
upheld a lower court dismissal
Of q contempt of Congress in
dictment against William L. Pat
terSon. executive secretary of the
Civil Rights Congress.
Mr.. Patterson had been cited
for contempt after failing to pro-
duce documents Of his organiza-
ton relating to finances and
activities of its members as sub
poenaed by a House committee
on lobbying.
In its opinion. the appellate
court cited a legal definition of
lobbying as Representations
made directly to Congress, its
members or its committees"
1T is clear that the
indictment rests upon a COM
mittee subpoena that exceeded
the authority delegated to the
committee :" the appellate
court said. 1T is true that docu-
ments relating to the organiza-
ton and finances Of the Civil
Rights Congress and the activ-
tiles Of the Civil Rights Congress
pertaining to legislation
might include matters pertinent
to representations made directly
to the Congress, its members or
Its committees"
But, said the court, it is equally
clear that they are not so lin
tied. The court cited q Supreme
Court ruling that one should not
be held in contempt under a
subpoena that is partly good and
partly bad.

President Eisenhower has asked
top administration officials for
recommendations on whether
Andrews Air Force Base could be
used adequately as a second
civilian airport for Washington.
The President, it was disclosed,
ordered Budget Bureau Director
Joseph M. Dodge to make the
study.
In letters last Monday to De-
Tense Secretary Wilson and
Commerce Secretary Weeks, Mr..
Dodge, in turn, asked the two
cabinet officers for a "joint re-
view" Of the proposals feasi-
bility.
Mr.. Dodge asked for a report
within 80 days, together with
their recommendations and "esti-
mates of cost to the Federal Gov
ernment," officials said.
Weeks Explained Position.
Indications were that Gen. Eli
senhower's action stemmed from
Capitol Hill interest in the pos
sibility Of diverting some Of An
drews' facilities for civilian pur-
poses.
The formal study came in the
face Of powerful and constant
opposition to the proposed civil
airport at Burke, Va.
Secretary Weeks made plain
last week that the entire Ques-
ton Of another Washington air
port was under extensive study.
He voiced this in a letter fled
in Alexandria District Court, in
support of a Government petit
ton for extension of the Burke
site possession date from May
l to September IS.
Mr.. Weeks wrote:
Because of our re-examina-
ton of this project, I have not
included any requests for funds
in our current budget estimate.
Other Alternatives Studied.
However. I do not wish to
imply by this action that our
plans for the airport at Burke

Head Of House Unit
Seeks Solution for
D. {. Police SHORTAGE

Representative Wilson, Re-
publican, of Indiana, head of
the House subcommittee in
charge of the District budget,
declared today means must be
found to strengthen the Metro
politan Police force.
He voiced concern that the
police force was undermanned
and suggested that other steps
must be taken to bolster the
force if funds or men cannot be
found to bring it up to full
strength.
He suggested, for instance,
that present members be per-
mitted to work a sixth day in
a week and be paid an extra
days pay. He said this might
serve to cure the present Short
age of men.
COnfers With ID. C. Heads.
The subject was discussed in
broad terms yesterday at an in
formal conference between Mr..
Wilson and Commissioners Spen-
Ger, Camalier and PrentisS. The
main purpose Of the conference
was to acquaint the new city
heads with Mr.. Wilson's plans for
the forthcoming hearing on the
1854 District budget. These are
expected to begin the first week
in May.
Chairman Wilson told report
erS ne was convinced present pay
of Metropolitan Police should be
increased. as provided in a bill
passed by the House and await
ing action by the Senate District
Committee.
Asks Crime Data.
Mr.. Wilson asked for data to
show what effect the shortage of
manpower in the police depart
ment has had on crime in the
District. He asked for compar-
ative studies on the amount of
crime here and in other cities.
The House late yesterday
passed and sent to the Senate
the third supplemental appro-
priation bill which carries ST.
271, ,648 to cover city government
costs between now and July /.
This is a 68 per cent reduction
from the requests Of the District
government. Most of the cut
back, revealed earlier in the
week, was the elimination of
SIS million in funds to carry on
development of a new sewer
system for the Piney Branch
valley to prevent the flooding of
streets and Easements in and
near Fifth and Ingraham streets
NV.
This problem was deferred to
hearings on the regular 1854

whether it's standard or day

listed leave at 3:42 am. and 7:55
am. The latter does not reach
Washington until 1905.

that Congress may get around to

stituents if Congress fails to put
daylight saving into effect this
Sunday.
Television networks, railroads,
airlines and bus companies
agreed today that the annual
snarl-up on daylight saving is
even worse than usual. The main
reason is that this year, for the
first time, many lines have al
ready printed and distributed
revised schedules based on local
time-and they have assumed
that Washington would change
over this year just as it has in
the past.

tween advocates of fast time"
and MidwesternerS anxious to
impress voters a thousand miles
away by their staunch opposi-
ton to it has caught the trans

Faces Delay
Until Monday
House May Be Given
Chance to Act on
Legislation Tomorrow !

Washington will be without
daylight saving time next Sum-
day when other cities in the East
start it unless Congress takes un-
expected action this week.
There is a possibility that leg
iSlation for daylight time may
come before the House tomor-
row. Even if it does, it ap-
peared virtually certain that &C.
ton cannot be completed before
Sunday.
Republican leaders announced
the HouSe will meet tomorrow.
And the House District Com
mittee also has scheduled a
meeting for 10 am. tomorrow.
To Consider Four Bills.
Among the bills the committee
will consider are four different
daylight saving time bills, one of
them already passed by the Sem
ate. If the Senate-passed bill is
approved by the committee and
then the House. it could go
straight to the President for
signature. If one of the other
three is approved by the House,
it would have to 60 back to the
Senate for action.
The complicated legislative
situation pointed to final Con-
gressional action sometime next
week. Sponsors of daylight time
for Washington still are hope
full that Congress will approve
legislation giving it to Washing
ton.
The House committee has been
given until tomorrow midnight
to file its report on whatever bill
is approved. BY that time, the
Chairman Simpson has made
a strong appeal for a full at
tendance of his unit tomorrow.
A majority of the members have
promised to be present.
The four daylight time bills
before the committee include one
which already has been rejected
by 9-to-7 vote. It is subject to
reconsideration. 1t would give the
District Commissioners authority
to establish daylight time in
Washington this coming summer
only.
Bills without ations.
The other three pending
measures were sent to the
committee yesterday by a SUBJ
committee without recommen-
dation." They are:
i. A Senate-passed bill giving
the city heads authority to order
clocks reset each summer. if two
of three major Eastern cities
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York-go on daylight time. Dis
trict Committee members for the
most part are understood to op-
pose this measure.
