City Heads Discard
Proposal 10 Transfer
Paro|e0 fficerContro

The Commissioners today dis
carded a reorganization proposal
which would have placed penal
institution parole officers here
under control of the Department
of Corrections.
The action follows a protest
against the proposal by members
of the District Board of Parole,
accompanied by United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover, who
spoke his opposition as a private
citizen and former board
member. .. ...
The decision to continue the
so called institutional parole
unit under control of the board
makes the board the second Dis
trict agency so far to be left I'M
changed under the city govern
ment reorganization plans. The
first was the Veterans Service
Center.
Rover Calls It UnsOund.
Mr.. Rover had told the city
heads he thought the concept
of the proposed shift of control
was "philosophically unsound''
and dad from a standpoint OF
human relations"
A written report by the board
pointed out that the reorganiza-
ton move would deprive the
Board of Control of the factual
information on which the board
relies to decide the granting or
denying of parole applications
Much of this information at
present is picked up by the three
institutional parole officers and
relayed direct to the board.
1T is our contention" the
boards statement declared,
that the preparation of a case
record on which we must act
is one of the most important
functions of the board, since
our decisions depend upon the
accuracy, completeness and per-
tinency of the information we
have before U.S."
jacob Comments.
Herbert j. jacob, board
member who serves without pay,
said, II would not want to serve
if the institutional reports
would be subject to coloring by
some other department." And,
he added, 1--WE are getting along
beautifully now under a fine
system"
The proposed transfer of con-
troll was disapproved by the
Citizens Advisory Committee.

John A. Reilly said today he

Capitol Hill and Administration
reaction to the city's proposed
$685. million public works pro-
gram.
Mr.. Riley, head of a large
citizens committee working on
the program, indicated also that
his group soon will take specific
steps to sell its need to Congress
this year.
He spoke at a panel discussion
on 1.-THE Human Element in the
Public Works Program" held at
st. Thomas Apostle Church in
connection with the United Com
munity Services Health Welfare
and Reaction Conference. De-
tails of the program were dis
cussed by District Engineer Com
missioner Lewis w. Prentiss and
three city department heads.
The program, calling for $1O9
million in Federal grants and a
like amount in Federal interest
free loans, has been studied both
by the Budget Bureau and Con-
gressional leaders. 1t will be sent
to the Capitol soon for introduce
ton.
No Challenges Heard.
Mr.. Reilly said that mot a
single statement has been made
by members of Congress or the
executive department that has
CHALLENGED necessity for the pro-
gram. He said there also have
been expressions for the need of
Federal participation.
II personally am very much
impressed" he added.
The citizen leader noted that
the interest-free loan proposal
has been criticized and said that
matter will have to be negoti-
ated." Asked what citizens could
do to help the program, Mr.
Reilly said his group soon will
want to know what contacts
various citizens have on Capitol
Hill so the program can be ex-
planned to every member.

Reaction to Public Works Plan
PIeuses Head of Citizens Unit

Gen. Prentiss said the human
element" enters into every phase
. of the program and urged that
"every citizen should take a di-
rect interest in it," Asked about
economy, the general said the
District is going as far as it can
in eliminating all frills in con-
struction."
The general was also asked
whether all buildings proposed in
the program will be needed If
segregation is ended in the Dis
trict. He said he had been as
sured that every item is neces-
Sary regardless of whether any
change is made.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea outlined advantages which
will result from the proposed
Childrens Center at Laurel, ma
jor item in the welfare part of
the program. He stressed that
substantial economies will result
from the Capitalization of serv-
ices at that location. in addition
to vast improvements in service.
Continued Uses Seen.
Daniel L. Seckinger, District
health director, emphasized in
his talk that buildings proposed
for Gallinger Hospital and the
Glen Dale Sanatorium will be
needed even after immediate
uses for them are over. He
explained, for example, that the
greatest immediate need is for
tuberculosis treatment facilities.
After the tuberculosis fight is
won. however, the District will
need many new hospital beds for
chronic diseases occurring in the
growing aged population, he
said.
Milo F. Christensen, head of
the District Recreation Board,
pointed out that his group has
made substantial improvements
in recreation facilities during
the last few years. But he said
there have been virtually no new
facilities provided to meet the
needs of population which has
doubled during the last decade.

Reorganization Plans
On Traffic and Health
Stir New Opposition

Controversial reorganization
plans for traffic and health &C
tivities Of the District Govern
ment encountered more opposi-
ton yesterday.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp. whose Department of
Vehicles and Traffic faces
adjustment under the plans,
called not only for its retention
but for the addition of parking
responsibilities.
In the health field, q, United
Community Services Committee
opposed removal of various in
spection responsibilities from the
Health Department.
Wants Parking Agency.
Mr.. Keneipp recommended to
the Citizens Advisory Council
that the administrative and
planning functions of the Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency be
transferred to his department.
He said also that the Com
missioners should adopt a policy
statement clearly defining func-
tons of the Highway Depart
ment with respect to traffic
engineering activities.
Present reorganization plans
would, however, combine the
traffic engineering activities of
both departments in a new
Department of Highways and
Traffic, and put licensing and in
spection activities in a new De-
partment of Licenses and
Inspections.
Both Sides Claim Economy
Mr.. Keneipp said that proper
alignment of the duties of the
Highway Department and his
own department could save the
District more than 100000 a
year.
The District reorganizers
maintain that this much could
be saved by taking the engineer
ing functions out of the Traffic
Department and putting them in
the Highway Department.
Also opposing dispersal of the
Traffic Department before the
council was the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board.
Arthur J. Sundlun, board chair
man. presented a strongly worded
report prepared by a special sub
committee. He declared the
planners are "in effect attempt
ing to make the tail wag the dog"
Say Spending Would Increase.
The proposed reorganization
would not save money, the board
contended, but would cause more
spending for personnel who SIM
ply would take over already ex-
listing functions with the same
general chain of command.
In a letter to Engineer Com
missioner Louis w. PrentisS, the
Keystone Automobile Club. OF
which Mr.. Keneipp formerly was
manager, said it was lat a loss
to understand" why the present
plan was even considered.
I'VE believe the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic to be a
smooth running, efficient and
well organized department." il
said.
Oppose Food Transfer.
The health committee of UCs
recommended to Commissioner
Samuel Spencer that supervision
and regulation of environmental
sanitation, protection of the
food, milk and water supply and
related services remain in the
Health Department.
The committee had met Tues
day in a special session to dis
cuss the reorganization proposal
to take food inspection and sani-
tary engineering out of the

them in a new Department \oi

the special indulgences that may be gained during

This matter of indugenceS has long been mis-
understood and decried by we'll meaning but grossly
misinformed persons. The recent movie Martin

On The Defensive

On second thought, counter
offensive" is probably not the
correct word to characterize the
strategy of the Chamber of Com
merce. The c of c is very much
on the defensive. This is most
unfortunate, in our opinion, for
the Guaranteed Annual Wage
can never be achieved on broad
Scale-without excessive govern
mental intervention-unless and
until American industry becomes
enthusiastic about the idea.
AS far back as 1947 when the
CIO first began to talk about the
CAV as a possible goal of col
lective bargaining, a professor
at Harvard University's Graduate
School Of Business Administra-
tion an institution which is
highly respected and to a large
extent supported by the business
community pointedly warned
the leaders of American indus
try that they would have to
change their attitude towards the
Guaranteed Annual Wage. Some
employers, Professor Joseph Sni-
der pointed out in a book en-
titled "The Guarantee of Work
and Wages" shy away from the
Guaranteed Annual Wage alto
gether. This, he says, is IAN
oStrich-like attitude. Employers
cannot hide from something
which is already here"
Professor Snider concludes that
a mental readjustment is requir-
ed on the part of American in
dustrialists. The average employ
err. he says, will have TO develop
a firm conviction that he must
do euerBtting possible TO in
crease the stability of employ
ment and the regularity of wag-
es.

Commerce-up to a point. The
