District CDCut
Held Precedent
For All Cities
Spencer Sees Slash
In Funds as Possible
Trend in Congress

The recent action of Congress
in cutting the Districts civil de-
fense appropriation may reflect
what the legislators intend to do
along this lire for other major
cities.
This was pointed out last
night by Commissioner Samuel
Spencer, when questioned by re-
porters on Your Commission
ers' Report" The program was
telecast over WMAL-TV, The
Star station. -
The original appropriation for
D. c. civil defense called for an
expenditure of $500,OO0. This
was cut by the Commissioners to
approximately $315,o00. But the
last sum was cut by Congress to
slightly more than $4,000.
Virtually Closing Shop.
Mr.. spencer. who appeared
with Brig. Gen. Louis Prentiss,
the Engineer Commissioner.
pointed out that notice as of last
Wednesday has already been
given to many paid civil defense
employees. He added that their
termination pay would take care
of at least $4,000 of the $23, 900
appropriation, and that, in ef-
feet, this would mean CLOSING
shop" for civil defense in the
District.
He cited this as a possible
trend in Congress for other
municipalities, because, he added,
the whole country looks to Wash
ington as an example.
IF Congress looks that way at
the District, other communities
may be treated accordingly" the
Commissioner added.
Mr.. Spencer explained there
also may be cooperative effort
with nearby Virginia fire COM
panies to see how they would act
in conjunction with District
equipment in event of an air
raid.
Explain Sunday Delay.
He referred to Sundays civil
defense co-ordinated effort with
the State of Maryland.
The commissioner said delays
by Maryland companies getting
to the Tidal Basin were due to a
misunderstanding in communica-
tions and not to dispatching Of
fire apparatus.
Some 78 pieces of apparatus
reached the Tidal Basin, and,
using five miles of hose, pumped
ID streams of water into the
basin.
Mr.. Spencer commended Dis
trict police on solving the murder
OF Miss Alyce o. Taggart, and
pointed out that many policemen
and detectives worked overtime
without hope of receiving extra

Commissioners Hear Pro and Con on Welfare Issue

Following is the list of wit
nesseS and gist Of their testimony
today at the Commissioners
hearing on a proposal to abolish
the Board of Public Welfare as
an administrative unit in favor
Of single director responsible
directly to the city heads, aided
by an advisory board:
Harry L. Merrick, president of
the Washington Board of Trade:
The existing Board of Public
Welfare should be abolished. A
Commissioners Public Welfare
Advisory Council would be &C
ceptable.
AS a desirable alternative, Gre
alton of a welfare body in direct
line of authority between the
directors and the Commissioners
is suggested. They would formu-
late policy for their departments
for consideration of the Commis-
SionerS.
Gerard M. Shea, director of
Public Welfare: An administra-
tive, policy making Board of
Public Welfare has advantages
to the Commissioners, the COM
munity and the administration
OF public welfare. A survey indi-
Gates so per cent of the 48 States
felt that the administrative, pol
icy-making boards we're advis-
able.
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard, vice
chairman of the Public Welfare
Committee of the Federation of
Citizens Association and also
speaking for the District Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs: The
Board of Public Welfare-al-
though no personal criticism is
intended towards the members
is really an obstruction in the
way Of placing responsibility
for welfare in the District on
any particular shoulders.
A. L. JagOe, vice chairman Of
the Family and Child Welfare
Committee of United Community
Services: Experience has proven
the board to be an effective and
capable form of government. We
feel it would be more difficult to
find good men to be members of
merely an advisory board.
Jerome B. Mckee of the Fed
Grafton of Businessmen's Asso-
Citations: Responsibility should be
on a single individual. We have
no personal feud with members
of the present board, and hope
they would be the first to accept
appointment to an advisory
council if one is appointed.
Mrs. Louis Gutenberg: An ad-
visory board is free to criticize a
Government program and is free
to go to Congress and seek
maintenance of standards. Re-
sponsibility for administering a
department must be vested in
one head.
Mrs. Walter N. Tobriner,
chairman of the District Affairs
Committee of the District
League of Women Voters: A pri-
mary purpose of the reorganiza-
tion plan was to vest in the
Commissioners direct control
over the agencies subject to re-
organization under the plan.
Administration best can be car
ried out by one individual quail
fed by training and experience.
harrington Parker, Young Re-
publican Club: Arguments In
favor of abolishing the present
Board of Public Welfare are the
more cogent, valid and persua-
sive. We recommend that a pub

lie welfare advisory council in
clude IL, rather than nine, per-
sons.
Mrs. Clarence M. Pierce. chair
man of the Health and Welfare
Committee, Washington chapter,
Am ricans for Democratic
Action: We urge continuance Of
the board of Welfare.
DIR. Reginald G. James, for the
Northeast Council: The Board of
Public Welfare should not be
abolished and an advisory coun-
Gil should not be established. It
has not been shown the Dis
trict would save money by elimi-
mating board that costs
nothing.
Mrs. Radford Moses, former
Evening star., 1953-07-21

ishing the existing board and
appointment of an advisory
board.
Rufus Lusk, president of the
Washington Taxpayers Associa-
ton: The Commissioners would
do we'll to remember the old
Army maxim, "A board is long
and narrow and wooden"
Abolish the Board of Public We'll
fare. An advisory board should
be helpful.
Edgar Morris, chairman of the
Board of Public Welfare: If the
Commissioners wish the board to
continue the members will be
glad to serve. (Members previ-
ously have stated views favoring
board retention.)

Polio in Bristol Area
Reaches Epidemic Stage

BRISTOL, Va, July 21.-Polio
in the Bristol area reached epi-
demic proportions today-and it
was termed as such by State
health officials who concluded
preparation for masS-inocula-
tions they hope will stem the ef-
feet.
The inoculations of children
aged six months to 10 years will
begin tomorrow at four clinics
and continue through Thursday.
Meanwhile. eight new cases
were reported in the stricken
area raising the total for the
month to 81.
One was an Abingdon nurse,
Naomi Helbert, 81, who accom-
panied 15-year-old Johnny Roark
of Green Springs to Roanoke
where he died of the ailment
July Is. Two other area nurses
also are polio suspects.
Some 10000 children from
Washington County and Bristol,
Va.-Tenn., are expected to re-
ceive the gamma globulin shots.
With each shot goes a lollypop.

House Passage
Sends Parkway
Bill 10 Senate
Permits Easements
In Building Route
Along c. & O. ConoI

The House has passed and
sent to the Senate a bill which
clears another hurdle toward
eventual construction of a park
way along the c. & o. Canal
from Cumberland to Hancock,
Md.
The measure is similar to one
already approved by the Senate
Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee, now awaiting action
on the Senate calendar. It was
called up Saturday but blocked.
and went over for future con-
sideration.
Both bills would establish a
procedure for granting perma-
nent easements for rights Of
way across .Federally owned land
along the canal all the way from
Washington to Cumberland. The
Federal Government owns the
entire canal and land between
the canal and the Potomac
River.
Such rights of way would be
used for electric, telephone, and
telegraph lines, or conduits, for
gas, oil, and water pipelines, tun-
nels. water conduits, or other
utilities.
Maryland Co-operates.
The Maryland General As
sembly authorized State purchase
of land along the canal in the
Cumberland Hancock area at an
estimated value of $685., 900 to be
donated as part of the Federal
property designated for the park
way. The Legislature, however,
specified that the State money
was contingent on enactment by
Congress of the bill permitting
access to the river across Federal
property.
Further Federal funds would
have to be made available later
for construction of the first leg
OF the parkway from Cumber-
land to Hancock. Residents of
that area want the parkway.
Firms or persons getting the
rights of way across the Federal
land would be required to pay
the Federal Government the fair
market value of easements or
rights-of-way granted.
AppOmattox Bill Passed.
The House also passed and
sent to the Senate a bill chang
ing the name of the Appomattox
Court House National Historical
Monument to the Appomattox
Court House National Park.
The change in name was re-
quested by local residents who
felt the designation of a "monu-
ment" was misleading to tourists
since there was no such struc-
ture as a monument in the area.
Congress recently passed and
sent to the White House a bill
adding some more historical sites
to the Appomattox Reservation.

member of the Board of Public
Welfare: 1t would be a very
serious thing to abolish the
Board of Public Welfare. It
does represent the citizens of the
District and gives them some
authority.
Mrs. Willis King, of Help for
Retarded Children, Inc. If the
present board becomes only ad-
visory, it would be just as disen-
franchised as the rest of the
citizens. A board, in order to be
useful, needs to be responsible.
Edward ROSenblOOm, executive
director of the Jewish Com
munity Center: I feel the Board
of Public Welfare has done a
magnificent job. I oppose sabol-

ignation."
Mr.. Broyhill said when he re-
ceives a report from Mr.. Rover
he may introduce a House reso-
luton calling for full-dress
investigation of the Washington
crime situation" by the House
District Committee.
Mr.. Broyhill said he had OBJ
served with increasing uneasi-
ness the soft policy" of courts
here toward habitual criminals.
Both Mr.. BroyhIll and Mr..
Rivers were loud in their praise
of Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray, Capt. Richard Felber of the
homicide squad and other Dis
trict police participating in the
solution of the Staying at SCOTS
Hotel for Women, 2131 o street
NV, on the@morning of July S.
Both legislators were equally
vigorous in attacking the jan
uary sentence.
"This case" Mr.. Rivers told
the House, referring to the Tag
gart Staying, would not have
happened had we had qualified
judge who attended to his duty
and committed that man accord
! ing to the merits of the crime he
committed some time ago."
In his praise for the Police
Department, Mr.. Rivers said:
For and in behalf of the I'M
suspecting and unprotected
white women who are here by
choice or happenstance. I COM
mend the understaffed, under
paid and unde. praised Police
Department of the District of
which you are the board of direc-
tors"
/ High praise, he said. should go
to the Police Department and
''its great leader, Robert v. Muir
ray" in solving the Taggart case.
1T is time for us to do some
thing to give the police depart
ment the men to give the people
of the District the protection to
which they are entitled:
New Anti Crime Bill Cited.
Representative Tale, Republic
can, of Iowa, chairman of the
House District crime subcommit-
tee, said the case bears out the
contention of the crime subcom-
mite in strengthening the Grim
inal code through the new omni-
bus anti-crime bill.
Here is a person guilty OF
pretty grave violations of the
law" Mr.. Tale commented. "It
would seem that if more stern
sentences had been imposed in
the earlier violations, this tragic
last one. ending in death might
have been avoided. The others
were among the heinous crimes
we had in mind when we tight
ened the law"
Like the other legislators, Mr.
Tale commended Chief Muir
ray and his force.
Commendation for the police
also came from Representative
Davis. Democrat, of Georgia, au-
thor of the crime-curb legisla-
ton.
THE quick apprehension and
trial of the perpetrators of such
brutal crimes as this" Mr.. Davis
added, will increase respect for
law in the minds of the law
breakers and increase confidence
Of the citizens in the law en-
forcement agencies"
