Rhee's Bears Settling Down
After Gay Trip From Korea

Two Coca Cola drinking Ko-
rean bear cubs, accustomed to
the freedom of a presidential
mansion, gave up their high
style of living yesterday and
were put on a bear diet at the
Washington Zoo.
Coma, Qittle girl bear) and
Gomi, Qittle boy bear) arrived
at National Airport yesterday
aboard a Northwest Orient Air
lines Stratocruiser and were
quickly carted off to the Zoo.
The nine-month-old cubs,
gifts from South Korean Presi-
dent Syngman Rhee to President
Eisenhower, may not have set
any speed records in their five
day, 7,500-mile trip, but they
probably set Coca Cola drink
ing record for the bear set.
Their trainer, Capt. Y. c.
Kwak of Mr.. Rhee's police guard,
said the two cubs drank about
10 bottles of the sweet soft drink
during the trip. He said they
acquired their unusual taste
while living at the Rhee home

Board Fears Slash
In Budget May Close
Some Fairgrounds

A plea not to cut the Dis
trict's recreation budget will be
taken to the Commissioners by
the Recreation Board next week.
Recreation Supt. Milo F.
Christensen told the board yes
terday a 10 per cent budget slash
would mean a serious cutback in
the city's play program. It might
mean closing some Fairgrounds,
he said.
City departments have been
asked to submit priority lists for
such slash in the 1954-55
budget, which comes up for ex-
ecutive hearings next week. The
Commissioners haven't said such
a slash actually will be ordered
however.
Mr.. christensen said the sug-
geSted slash would mean firing a
number of recreation employees
1t would also mean shortening
the season of some playground
activities and eliminating others
altogether, the superintendent
said.
We've already cut our serv-
ices" Mr.. Christensen told the
board, adding: 1--WE don't think
We can stand a cut at ALL"
AS one example, he cited an
economy move on custodial serv-
ices at school buildings, under
which washroom facilities at
school Fairgrounds were closed
at 4 pm. this summer.
The departments requested
operating budget for next year
is $1,870.225. The suggested cut,
however, would be from the cur
rent years operating budget of
only $1,589, $40. This would give
the department $420,676 less
than it is asking for.
One thing this would mean is
a drastic reduction of mainten-
ance work, and consequently
of standards of sanitation, safe
ty and cleanliness, Mr.. Chris
tiansen said. He added these
other cutbacks:
A two-week delay in the open
ing of summer playground pro-
grams.
A delay on some street shower
routes and elimination of others.
Delayed opening of day camps.
Elimination of a dance pro-
gram.
Reduction in night recreation
activities.
Cutback of $4,000 in supplies.
The superintendent said he
had not had time to decide how
many employees would have to
be fired, but he told the board:
I'VE do know, however. that
every cut in leadership will seri-
ously affect the community"

$4,000 Guarantee
For Legion Session
Sought in Budget

The executive Office of the
District Commissioners has in
cluded a $4,000 request in the
fiscal 1855 budget estimates to
provide a sort of guarantee to
the sponsors of the American
Legion convention due to be held
here next year.
If the convention makes a
profit the city will be reimbursed.
If it flops financially the money
will be lost to the District. The
Legion habitually gets guar
antees, usually in much bigger
amounts, from the cities it leaves
in its convention wake.
The $235, ,450 total budget esti-
mate for the executive Office is
$182,000 less than the 1854 ap-
preparation. This stems from the
fact that Congress this year pro-
vided $198,500 for the city to
make sweeping and much needed
revisions of the building code
and zoning regulations. The
Office also requested, again. pay
raises for the three authorized
Assistant Engineer Commis-
sioners to $13,S00, one cut under
the Commissioners themselves,
and to hire more Office help.
The Corporation Counsel's Of
flee asked a $425. 900 appropria-
ton, a $65, 1000 increase over fis-
cal 1854. The increase would
provide three additional assist
ant corporation counsels and two
secretary-stenographers to help
handle the voluminous legal
work of the municipal corpora
ton.

Traffic Ticket Fixinu
Would Be Crime
Under New Proposal

Traffic ticket fixing would be a
punishable crime, under a pro-
posal by the law-enforcement
committee of the Commissioners
and Governors Second Annual
Conference on Washington Area
Traffic Problems.
The enforcement group, headed
by Deputy Chief John j. Agnew
of the Metropolitan Police De-
partment, will make it's recon-
mendations to the conference on
September Is.
The age-old practice of quash-
ing tickets behind the scenes
would be designated a mis-
demeanor. The committee makes
no recommendation on the Sc
verify of the penalty to be i'm
posed.
Regulation Drafted.
A draft of the regulation al
ready has been prepared by the
District Corporation Counsel's
Office. 1t reads:
ANY person who cancels or
solicits the cancellation of any
traffic citation, in any manner
not authorized by law or regula-
tion," shall be subject to fine
or imprisonment or both.
The conference will be asked
to forward the proposed regula-
ton to the chief judge of the
Municipal Court here, the Com
missionerS' Traffic Advisory
Board and the State Legislatures
of Maryland and Virginia for
consideration.
The proposal is in line with
a provision in the model traffic
code aimed at stopping magis-
trateS, as well as policemen,
from indulging in the ticket
fixing practice.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations pre-
pared by the enforcement COM
mittee include:
/. Passage of a law requiring
motor vehicle inspection in
Maryland.
2. Adoption by Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the District of chem
ical tests in cases involving
drunken driving. The commit
tee also urged efforts to get leg
islations making chemists re-
ports in such cases acceptable
in court if properly presented as
presumptive evidence" This
would lessen the necessity Of
calling in expert chemistry wit
neSses to testify.
Traffic Control Training.
8. Basic training in traffic
control and laws among the
smaller police departments in
the area. The larger departments
would provide the men for in
struction. Also urged was in
training service training schools
for traffic officers.
The committee advocated. as
well. that top traffic officials Of
all three Jurisdictions meet to
familiarize themselves with area
traffic laws, and that the efforts
of judges, magistrates and JUS
tices of the peace be "co-ordi-
mated for a more uniform ham
ding of traffic cases."
