Along the Potomac
to Washington
From Your Congressman
DEWITT S. HYDE

During this past week severa
worthwhile bills have been intro
duced and referred to their proper
committees. One such bill would
give the President authority to veto
specific items in appropriation
bills. At present the President must
either accept an appropriations bill
as it comes from Congress or veto
the bill in its entirety.
There has also been legislation
/ introduced to amend the Constitu-
ton to set a $50 ceiling on in
come taxes but inasmuch as Gen
eral Eisenhower has expressed his
disapproval of this proposed
amendment, do not anticipate
that the bill will receive very seli-
, Gus consideration.
On the 18th | introduced bill
Oh. r. 1850 to provide for an in
vestigation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission Of passenger
carrier services in the District of
Columbia and metropolitan areas.
At this time, am inclined to feel
that should introduce another bill
on this subject to provide for the
establishment of commission
which would have jurisdiction Over
transportation in this area. 1t
seems to me that this problem will
never be solved unless we have
such a commission. Such a pro-
posal would, of course, require ad-
ditional legislation by the Mary
land and Virginia Legislatures.
The House Ways and Means
Committee this week approved a
bill which would continue until
June 30, 1854, the suspension Of
the two cents a pound import duty
on copper. 1t will come before the
House in the near future for d
vote.

to train South Korean troops as
requirements for our boys in the

The first of four buildings in
the proposed $25 million Airing

will be completed by June of
next year, agents for the build
ers said today.
The Federal Housing Admins
tration approved mortgage fl
nancing for the project several
months ago. Preliminary ground
clearing work on the 1S-acre
site in Arlington County not fal
from the Virginia entrance tc
Memorial Bridge, has beer
started.
The remaining three buildings
will be completed at 60-day in

1,679 apartment units. Builder
is John McShain, Inc. Owner
is Arlington Towers Corp,
headed by Walter P. Mcfarland
OF Falls Church. Architects are
G. V. Stone and Donald Hud-
son Drayer.
Foundation work will begin
within about three weeks, Shan
non & Luchs, managing agent,
said.
Besides apartments, shopping
center is planned. The residen-

face the Potomac River and will
be bounded by Arlington Ridge

'PaYoff' Man Names
1877 Police in Tale Of
Philadelphia Graft
BY The Assoeiated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. ga
major investigation is underway
in the Police Department of the
Nations third largest city
shaken by a self-styled "payoff"
mans story that he paid thou
sands of dollars to buy police
protection for a numbers gang.
Police Commissioner Thomas
j. Gibbons summoned an in
spector and IL sergeants and
captains to report today for
face-to-face meeting with the
man, Harry Lowry.
Another patrolman, suspended
Sunday in connection with the
investigation, failed to show up
yesterday for a session with Dis
trict Attorney Richardson Dill
worth.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Dilworth has
asked Mayor Joseph S. Clark, jr.,
for bigger appropriation to ex-
pand the inquiry.
Served 6-MOnth Term.
It all started when Lowry was
released from Delaware County
Prison September 10 after serv-
ing six months on a numbers
charge. For undisclosed reasons
he went to Commissioner Glib
bons with his startling story Of
alleged police graft.
Last Saturday Mr.. Gibbons
abruptly summoned about so
policemen to his Office for secret,
individual conferences. Lowry
was there, too. On Sunday about
about SO more patrolmen went
to Mr.. Gibbons Office for talks.
Mr.. Gibbons and Mr.. Dilworth
then announced that Patrolman
Joseph keenan,, jr., had beeen
suspended for patent and ma
terial falsehoods" in his session
with the officials.
Mr.. Dilworth said he wanted
to question the missing patrol
man about a $25,000 home and
another 5000 he is reported to
have in several banks.
137 Policemen on List.
The IL men ordered to report
to city hall today are among 1877
policemen whom Lowry has
named-roughly 2 per cent of
the city's 5000 police officers.
There's also a mystery woman
in the Casa Miss Dolores
Perry, reported to be connected
with Leo (Clee) Coleman, al
legged numbers king for whom
Lowry said he worked.
An assistant district attorney
and a police captain went to
Pittsburgh where the 28-year-
old woman now lives. But the
woman, who has been furnished
a police guard in the steel city,
told reporters she knew nothing
at all" And in Philadelphia's
City Hall officials had no COM
ment.

Third British Shin
Ordered 10 Scene
OF Guiana Trouble
BY the Asseeiated Press

LONDON. Oct. 6. - Britain
dispatched the 9,100-ton cruiser
Sheffield to the West Indies to-
day, sending the warship to the
doorstep of her leftist- threatened
South American colony of Brit
ish Guiana.
The Admiralty described the
cruisers departure as normal
station move" but London news
papers were already blasting the
government for the veil of Of
f1cial secrecy dropped over pre-
viouSly reported movement of
troops and naval vessels toward
the troubled colony.
The British cabinet met to
consider the situation in which
colonial authorities repeatedly
are thinking of f1ring-possibly
even arresting-Some leftwing
ministers in the local British
Guiana government.
High Officials Confer.
| Meeting with the cabinet were

the Staunchest supporters of

servative cabinet, asserted the
official attempts" had not con-
cealed "the facts that Brit
ish warships carrying troops are
steaming at top speed for
Georgetown, capital of British
Guiana, in an attempt to fore
stall a threatened Communist
directed insurrection in that
colony"
The Admiralty, however, still
refused to confirm or deny re-
ports that the 8,000-ton cruiser
Superb with 400 troops aboard
and the 1,600-ton frigate Big
bury Bay were due at George
town tomorrow from Kingston,

Independence Demanded.
British Guiana has been seeth-

from British rule. A series of
strikes has paralyzed the sugar
industry, the main source of in

u. 5. Spending Up,
Despite Predictions
OF 6. 0. P. Economy
BY the Assoeiafed Press

The Government spent more
and took in slightly less in the
first quarter of this fiscal year
than it did a year before.
Spending in the first three
months of fiscal 1854, which be-
Nan July /, totaled 1899 million
more than in the first quarter of
last fiscal year.
This increase in expenditures
contrasted with predictions the
administration made in August
that spending this fiscal year
would, total So billion less than
last year. However, the budget
revisions forecasting reduced
spending probably applied mainly
to the remaining three quarters
of the fiscal year, which ends
June 80.
Military Up Again.
A large increase in outlays for
farm price supports and a siz-
able increase in military spend
ing helped push the expenditure
total in the first quarter of this
year to $18,228, ,000, 900 compared
with $17.829, 100000 a year be-
fore.
The Treasury's statement of
Government finances for Sep
tember 80, released yesterday,
showed that for the first three
months of fiscal 1854, the Gov
eminent went in the hole $4,311,-
100000, or $432 millions more
than the red ink operations at
this time last year. Net receipts
in the first quarter of fiscal 1854
were $13,917. 100000, little diff
ferent from the $13,95O, ,000, 900
receipts during the first three
months of fiscal 1853.
However, it appeared that the
Government would probably be
able to get by the remainder of
the year without a special call
to Congress to raise the debt
limit.
Figures Compared.
When figures for the first
quarter were compared with
budget estimates given to Con-
gress late in July by Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey, then
asking for a raise in the debt
limit, they showed:
Actual spending in the first
quarter was $272 million less
than Secretary Humphrey pre-
dicted in July. Receipts were
also less-by $183 millions-than
Mr.. Humphrey predicted. But
of the two. the spending reduc-
tion was the greater, so on bal
ance the Government did better
by $50 million than had been
expected.
The debt subject to the legal
ceiling of $275 billion stood at
$272, ,4O0,000,000 on September
80. That was exactly So billion
more than Mr.. Humphrey esti-
mated in July.
But this was offset by the fact
that the Treasury's cash balance
at stats, 100000 on September
80. was 2,478,OO0,OOO fatter than
Secretary Humphrey estimated
in July. This additional cash
balance can be used in place of
borrowing. The Treasury has
said that it expects to borrow
about So billion more in the rest
| Of this calendar year which
would come within the limit by
about $500 million.
