House Group Bombs
CD Setup by Cutting
Funds 10 S23,339

The House Appropriations
Committee yesterday laid down
it's knives and axes long enough
to drop a large bomb in the
midst of the Districts civil de-
tense program.
The local Office requested
$315,000. The committee rec
commended $23,339 instead.
John E. Fondahl, civil defense
director. declared that, if the
recommendation holds, sit would
be foolish to try to continue
operations" And. moreover, he
has an idea he would no longer
care to remain in his job.
Want Small Unit.
Committeeman plainly want to
see the program ended, except
for maintaining "a small central
contact and control Office" and
providing a public information
center that would try to stimu-
late civil defense work volunteer
ing and try to educate the public.
1T is obvious" the committee
report stated, that a completely
adequate program for protection
against the possibility of an air
attack in modern warfare would
cost District taxpayers millions
of dollars"
A program of "lesser magni-
tude," such as that conducted
in recent years, "only toys with
the problem and wastes taxpayer
dollars at a time when funds for
the more important programs of
overall security are so badly
needed" the committee added.
Maintenance Problem.
Mr.. Fondahl said he was at a
loss to say how existing equip
ment can be maintained and
what will happen to the program
Of trying to enlist wide support in
the civil defense volunteer pro-
gram with scant funds made
available in the past.
II don't think the world situa-
ton has changed in recent years,
but it's hard to convince the peo-
pie. and especially Congress-" Mr..
Fondahl declared.

Cars for City Heads
Allowed in Budqef

Although the House Appro-
priations Committee ak landed
willy-nilly among all District
agencies, at least four individu-
ais could regard themselves per-
sonally fortunate on one score.
The three Commissioners fl
nally succeeded in convincing
committee members that each
needs a new official automobile
to replace the superannuated
sedans they have been driving
for more than five years. The
relacement is included in a $24,-
COS budget item.
And Poundmaster Frank
Marks was recommended to re-
ceive an extra $4,000 to cover
the increased cost of feeding
the dogs he fondly tends on
South Capitol street.
The Recreation Department,
however, found itself in a posi-
ton of smiling through it's tears.
While sustaining a recommend
ed $41,000 cut in it's requested
SIS million budget. the depart
ment won these warm words:
1.-THE committee is happy to
note that this department has
shown savings in the past. :"

Meade 10 Head Publicity
For Colonial WILLIAMSBURG

Everard Kidder Meade, jr., for
mer State Department official.
has been appointed public re-
lations director for Colonial Will
liamsburg.
Carlisle Humelsine, Williams
burg executive vice president.
said Mr.. Meade will take up his
duties Monday.
Mr.. Meade is a native Of Clarke
County, Va, and a graduate of
the United States Military
Academy in 1913. After war
service he resigned from the
Army in 1916 because of a COM
bat disability. He served in the
Veterans Administration on the
Staff of Gen. Omar Bradley when
Gen. Bradley was administrator.
Later he was employed by the
Hoover Commission, served on
the staff of former Secretary Of
Defense James Forrestal and
then was special assistant to the
Undersecretary of State.

staff to run them at this full
capacity.
The committee also cut the re-
quested increase for agency
services by $4,000, leaving a
net increaes of $796. Mr.. Shea
said this would make it impos-
Sible to hire the four public as
Sistance workers who were to
focus on rehabilitating relief
clients to get them off the rolls.
He said it also cut out any ex-
pansion Of child welfare services,
including the plan to increase
monthly grants in hard-to-get
foster homes from $45 to $48.
Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger expressed his qualification
for the committees increase in
nursing personnel at Gallinger
Hospital and the continuation
Of rehabilitation services.
He is concerned, however, by a
cut Of 1882 ,899 from the increase
requested for health administra-
ton. He said this would hit the
tuberculosis control program.
The Commissioners had re-
queSted $4,000 for more clinic
and laboratory help to get an
earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis
and for more nurses and ply
sicians to give home care to
tuberculosis victims awaiting adj
mission to Glenn Dale Sanitar-
ium.
Recalls Recommendation.
DR.. Seckinger explained that
the funds had been requested to
start treatment of tuberculosis
patients at home because they
have to wait as long as six
months to get into Glenn Dale
and get worse while they wait.
He recalled that a committee had
studied the tuberculosis problem
last summer and recommended
home care as a must" until
additional beds can be provided.
The sewer division had at
least two of it's major projects
shaken by 100000 in recon-
mended reductions of its Sc mil
lion requests.
The committee specified that
100000 should be Topped off the
$2.5 million asked for continuing
work on the 81 million overall
project Of constructing the Piney
Branch relief sewer. Another
$200, 900 should be cut from the
requested $3.50, 900 item for relief
sewer construction in general,
the committee stated. The lat
ter would impede scheduled sew
er building in the Nebraska
Nevada avenue area, according
to sewer officials.
Lower Costs EnviSiOned.
The remaining 500, 900 reduc-
ton would be effected in other
construction categorieS.
Committee thinking was that
the cost of materials has dropped
some" and that bidding on
public works contracts is becom-
ing more competitive. which
tends to lower costs.
Among other public works
items, the Congressman insisted

Savings Discounted
By House Group in
Hint to Ruise Tuxes

The District Government re-
organization program has been
given the approval of the House
Appropriations Committee, but
not without apparent reluctance.
For while the Congressman
gave the new Department Of
General Administration-the re-
organizing Objects own sep
arate place in the budgetary pic
ture, the appropriation Of $2,66l,-
1872 was less by $222.615 than
the amount requested.
Moreover, the committee, in
its report yesterday had a curt
word for the money-saving pros
poets of the program. The Com
miSSioners should most seri-
ously consider" raising taxes to
meet impending deficits, the re-
port warned, "Since it does not
appear that the current reor-
gani2ation will achieve any econ-
omy in operations"
Reflects Taber's Views.
This reflects the sentiment of
Committee Chairman Taber, who
declared recently that he has
never known a reorganization
plan to save money.
1t was understood from Capt.
toll Hill sources that the commit
tees purpose in slashing the
administration department re-
quest Is to wipe out some SITS, 900
worth of new jobs established in
the department.
Schuyler Lowe, director Of
general administration, refrained
from any comment on the effect
of the recommended cutback.
But it is believed that if the
reduction is sustained by the
House and Senate, at least 80
jobs in the administrators Office
would be stricken.
Fund Transfer Deadline.
The committee put another
limitation on the program: The
realignments must be completed
by July /, 1854. The District
Commissioners, under the recon-
mendation, would be prohibited
from transferring funds and
functions from one agency to
another after that date, unless
specific congressional authorize.
ton were obtained.
OF the total recommended ap-
preparation, 100000 would come
from the highway fund, $4,000
from the water fund and $500
from the motor vehicle parking
fund.
Scanning reorganization pros
poets in view of the recommended
budgetary cut, one top official,
outside the administration de-
partment. commented today:
We'll probably have to fight
to try to get that money back"
