A larger and better paid Met
ropolitan Police Department was
urged to help curb crime in
Washington, as House Appro-
priations subcommittee contin-
ued its public hearings last night
on the city's 1854 budget.
Several witnesses pleaded for
funds to increase the force to
itS authorized strength of 2,290
men.
Testimony also was offered in
support Of q HouSe-paSSed bill,
now before the Senate, to pro-
vide pay raises for the Metro
politan, White House and park
police and f1remen.
Strong appeals for $2.5 mil
lion to complete the Piney
Branch relief sewer brought a
statement from Subcommittee
Chairman Wilson, Republican. of
Indiana. that the figure already
Is in the 1854 budget. 1t had
been stricken from a supplement
tai supply bill for this fiscal
year.
The subcommittee has not yet
acted on the. item, Mr.. Wilson
said. but he pledged his personal
support.
A larger Federal payment to-
ward District costs was strongly
recommended to the Subcommit-
tee. The figure Of $12 million
now Is pending in the budget,
but Congress in the past few
years has been cutting it.
Alexander b. Hawes, of United
Community Services, told the
subcommittee the Federal pay
ment has proportionately de-
creased over the last 80 years
from a figure of 40 per cent to
Q figure Of 8 or 8 per cent"
"At the same time" he con-
tinued, the Federal Government
has expanded it's holdings of real
estate so that today, with a small
assist from foreign embassies
and charitable organizations. it
has managed to withdraw from
real estate taxation practically
one half Of the area of the Dis
trict."
Nevertheless, he pointed out,
the citizens of Washington are
expected to supply to the Fed
eral Government the facilities Of
streets, water supply, sewage
service, FIRE and police protection.
II do not think that the citi-
1enS Of the States have any idea
that they are, in effect. spong-
ing on the citizens Of the District
in this manner" he told the sub
committee. II think they would
be shocked If they realized that
the Federal Government was not
paying its way"
Mr.. Hawes urged support of
legislation sponsored in the Sen
ate to fix the Federal payment
at IS per cent Of the District
budget.
Inspector Clarence H. Lutz,
president Of the District Police
mans Association, asked that ap-

ident of the Federation of Civic
Associations, urged that the
authorized strength Of the police
force should be raised to 5000
men.
L. Seth Schnitman, president
Of the Arkansas Avenue Com
munity Association, outlined the
need for $2.5 million to complete
the Piney Branch relief sewer,
which had been stricken from a
supplemental appropriation bill.
Subcommittee Chairman Wilson
announced the item now is in
the 1854 budget, but has not yet
been acted on finally by the sub
committee.
Mr.. Schnitman also testified
against fluoridation Of District
water.
Arthur r. Cochel, president
Of Columbia Park Community
Club, testified for the Piney
Branch project. He presented
several photographs of recent
flood damage.
Mrs. Lloyd Simson presented
q Survey of the District of CO.

and recommended that Board
of Health be established.
George G. PendletOn, OF Unit
ed Community Services, request
ed continuation of a $4,000
appropriation for the Health De-
partment to pay the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society for home
nursing of indigents who are not
the legal responsibility of the
District.
Mrs. Paula Ferguson offered to
testify on nursing at Gallinger
Hospital and the need for more
nurses. But Chairman Wilson
said his subcommittee had heard
her testimony in closed session.
Her plea was based on personal
experience.

William v. Hodges of Denver.
Colo, chairman of the East
Washington Railway Co. here.
protested plans of the District
government to construct an
overpaSs at Deane and Kenil-
worth avenues NE. He charged
it would cause removal of tracks
of the Capital Transit Co. at the
intersection. This, he declared,
would destroy the railway COM
pany connection with tracks
leading to its customer, the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co., to
which it delivers coal.
James HI. Flanagan, vice presi-
dent Of Capital Transit, said the
company believes it has definite
rights to operate on Kenilworth
avenue and could not be deprived
Of such rights. He reported a
plan has been developed by en-
gineers to maintain the tracks at
the intersection.
Alexander C. Dick, vice presi-
dent of the Prince Georges Ter
minal Corp, declared the disrup-
ton Of the railway service would
be disastrous" and would wipe
out our investment"

for a large group of other local

was over 125 per cent"

There will be a special meeting
of the Wheaton Citizens Associa-
ton at 11717 Lyle Street, Friday,
April II tomorrow, at 8 pm.
The agenda will consist only of
passing upon a proposed bill for
reorganization of the Kensington
Fire Board and choosing of
nominating committee.
If this announcement seems
familiar, it is because notices of
the regular meeting supposedly
held April 8 read in a similar
manner. A quorum was not pre-
sent at that meeting, so another
meeting will have to be held to
consider these matters.
1t is strange that not enough
persons were reached by the publ
city sent out in advance of the
regular meeting to assure a quorum
of 20 at that meeting. Or are
there excuses? Not enough
notice, other plans made for that
night, no interest in the matters to
be presented.
At this special meeting there GER
tainly should be at least the needed
20 members because notices were
sent to each of the ia members in
the Association well in advance of
the meeting night. Wheaton still
has need of it's Citizens Associa-
ton. Let US not allow it to fall
apart.

Awhile back you were asked to
let nothing interfere with the dates
of June 6 and 7. These dates were
set for the Festival and Pilgrim
age to the old Camp Meeting
Grounds. Don't save the dates any
longer because the Festival is be-
ing postponed one year, exactly,
which year will then be the 80th
anniversary of the formation Of
the Washington Grove Camp Meet
ing Association.
AS it turned out, the annual
Methodist Conference in Baltimore
was being held this year on the
same dates we chose, so it was felt
that in another years time we
would be able to have bigger and
better celebration and would have
an opportunity to get more pub
licity. The committee would ap-
preciate very much hearing from
anyone who can give them infor-
nation of any kind about the early
days of the Grove. Please call Mr..
H. Clark Helms and give him your
ideas.
The Recreation Club has some
plans made and next week we will
have some dates you can really
save.
