Current Budget
Warning Is Issued
Against Increasing
1856 Estimote

District government agencies
were warned today to stay within
their current years appropria-
lions In submitting budget esti-
mates for next. year. and were
told that any increased approved
may necessitate increased
taxes"
The strongly-worded warning
was contained in an order dis
tributed to all agencies today
by District Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler, setting August Is as
the deadline for submitting esti-
mates for the 1856 fiscal year.
Cushion Of Only So Million.
Mr.. Fowler. in the order APP
proved by the city heads, said the
Districts general fund--which
finances such operations as
schools, welfare and health pro-
grams-will have a cushion Of
only 50 million for increases
above 1885 appropriations.
Placing strong emphasis on
this slight surplus margin, he
declared:
This amount will be required
for mandatory items, and the
approval of items in excess of
this sum may necessitate in
creased taxes.
Furthermore. the allowance OF
any agency of other than man
datory items will have to be
financed by q decrease in funds
for some other activity. or by
increased taxes"
Items Are Specified.
Specifically. Mr.. Fowler di.
rected the agency heads to con-
fine their increases in estimates
to:
1. Items approved by the Com
missioners during the 1855
budget considerations and dis
allowed by Congress.
2. Increases that will produce
additional revenues.
5. Items over which the agency
heads by administrative action
have no control.
4. Those in the mandatory"
category, such as Federal obli-
cations (including. for example.
payments for District patients at
st. Elizabeths HospitaD. salary
increases. stating and mainte-
nance of new construction, and
expenses incurred by new legis-
lation.
S. Items which are "indisputa-
bly, essential to adequate munici-
pal services"
The order also spelled out pro-
cedural steps for the various
agencies to follow in submitting
estimates and Mr.. Fowler urged
officials to consult freely" with
his Office in drawing them up.

Right to Roam Asked for Fairfax Dogs
By Mary Lou Werner

Fairfax County dog owners
proposed . new freedom for their
pets yesterday freedom to roam.
The OWNERS thronged to 4 two
and lone half hour meeting pri-
marty called, to discuss the an
nual rabies incubation require |
ment, but the subject of lebens-
rauin for dogs crowded out the
original issue.
The public hearing was before
the Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors.
Several times Chairman q.
Wallace Carper tried to explain
that it has been illegal for dogs
licensed or unlicensed to
roam at large In the county. He
said the only new regulation be-
fore the hearing was the pro-
posed mandatory rabies inocula-
ton.
Undaunted. dog-loyers went
on to plead for canine emanci-
patton proclamation. "A majority
of them said they would welcome
the mandatory incubation pro-
gram. II their dogs could run
free. Only q few. principally /
kennel operators. protested the
incubation plan because they
said it would work hardship
on them.
BY the time the W. -hour
hearing had ended. the super
viSorS had so many new views
and comments to consider that
they decided to postpone final
action on the new rabies ordi-
nance for the time being. Here
are some Of the comments they
heard:
DR.. Harold Kennedy, county
health officer. who proposed the
rabies ordinance"We have had
Is cases Of rabid animals in the
county this year. One child
who was bitten almost died."
Fred Brown, county game
warden I'm in favor Of COM
pulsory incubation. / also would
like to see the county's fox
population thinned out"
Miss Claire Hollis, kennel OPP
orator Of vienna. VAT think
dogs are picked on too much.
AS long as cats and wild ami
mails run at large. you can't
lick the problem by vaccinating
dogs.
DIR. III. G. Newman, Merrifield
tVa.) veterinarian-"If dog is
vaccinated. the possibility Of inn
munity is as good as any other
kind Of vaccination -about 80
per cent"
/. DR.. Max Hubbard, State Health
Departm mt veterinarian -
TESTS show the rabies vaccine
Is very effective
Mrs. Pierre Billiard, Of Fairfax
Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals -"I thor
oughly approve of the proposed
law. but we need more inocu-
lation clinics. / hear huntsmen
have imported some foxes that
have spread rabies"
Richard w. Turner, Viehna
pet shop owner-"Let dogs run
at large as long as they have
licenses. 1t is the nature Of q
dog to roam. This requirement
to keep dogs penned in is like the
18th Amendmcnt-it pits neigh
Dor against neighbor.
r. ID. Single, Forestville ~
was damn sick and tired Of walk
ing dogs along city streets and
stopping to wait for them. That's
why I moved to the county.
Don't make man criminal
because he let's his dog run at
large. / try to keep my dog
penned up, but sometimes it is
impossible to keep him in"
Andy Melvin, kennel operator
IT can't see how penned dogs
endanger any one with rabies.
If this ordinance is passed, you
might well put me out Of business.
Besides. I have q dog that no
one is allowed to touch but me.
I don't want him inoculated. I
even have it In my will that he
is to be destroyed IL ] die"

First Fringe Parking.
Project Authorized
BY Commissioners

The Commissioners today au-
thorized work to begin on the
first part of the Districts new
fringe parking program.
The Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency was instructed to spend
no more than $22, 900 to ready
the first lot at the intersection
Of South Capitol street and Firth
Sterling avenue Sc.
Transit Agreenspt Planned.
Contemplated III the project
lis an agreement with Capital
Transit Co. to provide bus serv-
Ice during rush hours between
the lot and downtown Washing
ton at reduced rates. Informal
discussions with the transit
company have revealed reluc-
lance on the part of the company
to provide lower fares for auto
mobile parkers. The Commits
sioners decided. however, to ask
Capital Transit officials to con-
fer with city authorities to get
their official stand on the mat
ter. Under the present plan
there would be no parking
charge.
Congress appropriated 500, 900
for the current fiscal year. The
District is planning only on using
a small initial amount to see how
well the fringe parking programs
works out, before planning ex-
panded facilities.
For 46O Autos.
The first area, consisting of
about ii. 900 square yards. would
handle $50 vehicles. A wooden
shelter 8 by so feet is to be built
at a paved bus bay on South
Capitol street near the Firth
Sterling intersection. Until the
success of the venture Is deter
mined, the surfacing Of the lot
itself is to be merely gravel.
Funds have been .earmarked
for lighting the lot and provid-
ing an attendant on q day-long
basis.
Special bus service would be
provided under the plan only
during rush hours. The present
bus line on South Capitol street
would accommodate parkers dur
ing the rest of the day.
Milton Rodes. executive direc-
tor of the Parking Agency. em-
phasized the District has no in
tention Of competing with pri-
vate lots. He said the sole aim
is to keep downtown traffic at q
minimum.

Police Heads Debate
With Judge CockriII
On Juvenile Crime

. u ~ 4
Top police officials exchanged
views with Judge Edith H.
Cockrill on the handling Of
juveniles at meeting in the
Hotel Statler last night, called
by the Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee.
Commissioner Samuel e. Spen-
Ger also attended the meeting,
which heard a talk by William
Sheridan Of the Children's Blu
read on approved standards for
children's courts and police.
Murray Defends work.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
said he felt the local Police De-
partment goes as far or farther
than any other to try to prevent
juvenile delinquency. He men,
toned its boys club and school
boy safety patrol work among
other efforts.
He said the department is
anxious to work in the interests
of the occasional, first-time Of
fender, but that it is concerned
about serious offenders.
Judge Cockrill maintained that
in thinking in terms of policy
the concern should be with the
vast majority Of juveniles han
died and not only with the ex-
captions who commit such Sc
rious crimes as rape and holdups.
Raps Especial Standard"
On the question of specialized
training for juvenile squad OFF,
GERS, Deputy Chief Howard ".
CoveIl said he objected to. stand
ards which say, in effect:
II am good enough to be a
police officer, am good enough
to- protect the public. but when
I come in contact with q juvenile
I must change my clothes. drive
an unmarked car and then get
rid of the Juvenile real quick so
he can be turned over to some
one who knows more than ! do"
Chief Murray, and Inspector
Covell expressed the belief that
youths Is years old and older
who crack safes. hold up stores
and attack women should come
in for a different type Of police
procedure.
These offenders. they indi-
Gated. should be photographed
and fingerprinted, and the public
is entitled to know of their ar
rests.
Judge Cites Difficulty.
Judge Cockrill said she wanted
to cooperate with police but
that 1t was sometimes difficult
because she felt the police ARE
not too interested in accepted
police standards for juveniles.
These standards were not set
up by court officials but by
police officers" she said. -. But
you say we're different here. We
don't have to try to follow them. .
The judge went on to say she
believed the police force could
be no stronger than the courts
and the courts no stronger than
the police force. The police, she
declared, are not more respon-
sible to the community than is
the court.
But she said that many cur
rent police practices are .direcU-
ly contrary to the letter and
spirit of the juvenile court law Z
She referred to public arrest
records Of juveniles and Chief
Murray's position that waiver
power should be lodged in the
hands Of prosecuting officials.
Both these positions, she said,
are contrary to juvenile court
practices throughout the coun-
try. She also took issue with s'in-
discriminate" photographing and
fingerprinting Of Juveniles.
Chief Murray said the reason
Clarence Watson. convicted Of
raping an airline hostess and
awaiting trial for the murder Of
Alyce o. Taggart. is now in Dis
trict Jail Is that his fingerprints
