Action Pushed
On Cafch-AII
Money Bill
Moylonders Win
Fight to Keep
OIney Center

Senate leaders pressed for pas
sage of the 50 billion catch-all
supplemental money bill today,
including So million for a new
Senate Office Building.
In a session which ran past
1870 last night. Maryland's Re-
publican Senators Butler and
Beall won a fight to keep the
Civil Defense Training Center at
Olney, Md. The Republican
Senators from Michigan, Fergu-
son and Potter. tried to have it
moved to Battle Greek in their
State.
The Senate put off until today
a final decision in another con-
troversy over whether $50 en-
ployes Of the Old Age and Sur
vivors Insurance Bureau should
be moved from Baltimore to
Washington. The Maryland Sem
ators also are opposing this
transfer.
Democrats Attack "Joker."
Meanwhile, Democrats pointed
to the big supplemental bill as
multiplying administration econ
onny claims. Senator Douglas,
Democrat. of Illinois. called it
"a two-billion-doll joker"
Senator Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington. said it would al
most double the $2.9 billion
deficit the administration has
been estimating for the year end
ing next June.
Senator Maybank, Democrat,
of South Carolina, said it re-
flected negligence in not antici-
pating needs in time for the re-
gular appropriation bills.
About half of the So billion
total is for military construction.
The rest is for miscellaneous
needs of nearly all departments.
Before recessing last night the
Senate added $18 million to mod
ernize merchant ships now out
of service and convert others to
naval auxiliaries.
Unsuccessful on Senate Building.
Senator Douglas made an I'M
successful effort to knock out
funds for the additional Senate
Office Building, which Is to be
built on First street NE. east of
the present building.
Il Long and at times heated de-
bate was inspired by the argu-
ment over removal of the civil
defense Olney training center
from the Washington area. The
Maryland Senators frequently
clashed with Senators Ferguson
and Potter over the civil defense
transfer from Olney to Battle
Creek.
d The Marylanders finally won
by A to 20 to deny this removal
fund. There was no. decision as
to Washington's civil defense
headquarters.
The Maryland Senators con-
tended that it would be a waste
of about a half million dollars
already spent on the Olney in
stallations if the Civil Defense
Center were moved to Michigan.
They argued, too, that the Battle
Creek buildings formerly were
used as a hospital and, in the
event of another war. would be
reclaimed for that purpose.
Senator Ferguson and others
answered that Olney was Ito
close" to Washington and that
in war Washington would be a
prime target for attack.

Most Phone Rates
10 Rise 50 Cents in
Homes, Businesses

Rate schedules that would
raise individual telephone line
service so cents month for
both homes and business were
submitted late yesterday by
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co.
The proposed rates are in line
with last weeks decision to grant
the company $40 million higher
annual gross revenues. In al
lowing the increase, the District
Public Utilities Commission came
$2.7 million short of the COM
pany's requested revenue in
crease.
A hearing on the proposed
schedules has been set for 10
am. Monday in the District
Building. Indications are they
will be approved by the COM
mission.
In the principal categories,
these are the changes:
Residential - Individual line
and PIX trunk fat rate, from
the present $5.25 to $5.75
message rate, from $4.25 to $3.50
for the first SO message units,
with additional units raised from
1R cents to 5 cents per unit.
Two-party line fiat rate, from
$3.50 to S4.75. and two-party
line message rate from $2.75 to
SO for the first 40 message units,
with additional units from Az
cents to S cents per unit.
Observation-Disclosures line and
PIX trunk message rate, from
$3.50 to 81 for the first 100 mes
sage units; the first 100 addi-
tional units remaining the same
at S cents each, and the next
100 up, from 4 cents to Az cents.
For the most part, the re-
manning categories of charges
such as the business two-party
line, with an allowance of 40
message units the service con-
nection and move charges
would be raised by Is cents q
month.

G. U. Hospital Addition
Included in Money Bill

An important Washington
construction project won the
approval of the Senate last
night.
Tentatively included in the
$2.1 billion supplemental appro-
priation bill was aid for f1nanc-
ing a 100-bed addition to
Georgetown university Hospital
on Reservoir road NV. This is
part of the university's overall
$14 million development pro-
gram.
Approval of the aid was ac-
complished by including George
town University in the grants
and loan provisions of the
Washington Hospital Center
Act.
The GU hospital loan and
grant provision came up unex-
peetedly. It had not been raised
IN the House. Officials said 1t
had not been considered, either,
in the Senate Appropriations
Committee. 1t won adoption in
the Senate. however. after only
q brief explanation.
The amendment was offered
by Senator Chavez. Democrat,
of New Mexico. It was accepted
without contest after few
minutes of discussion by Chair
man Bridges of the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
The reasoning was that five
other non-prof1t private hos
pitfalls here had won the right
to similar grants and loans UNI
der earlier amendments to the
Hospital Center Act and that
therefore another major nom
profit private hospital also
should be included.
Georgetown University an
nounced a 10-project building
program last fall. This included
an addition to Georgetown Hos
pital. to provide nearly 100 more
beds. and additions to its medi-
cal school and more building for
its nursing schools, as well as
other projects.
Oflcials yesterday estimated
the cost for the hospital units at
between 81 and So million.
The District Government
will have to cover some of these
costs, as in the case of other
non-prof1t private hospitals,
Contributions also win come
from the hospital.

D. {. Heads Go Out
On Limb in Permit
For Tree Bonfires


The Commissioners went out
on a minor limb and granted
special permission to a building
developer to make bonfires out
of tons of trees he has knocked
down on his property.
The city heads reached their
decision with misgivings. The
difficulty came from conflicting
regulations. One. seemed to
specify that the trees are not
for burning, while another in
dicated bonf1res are permissible
in daylight.
The special concession was
given to Redwood Terrace Build
ing Corp, which is constructing
private homes on a 76-acre tract
at Tamafack and Verbena streets
NV. The development is to be
known as North Portal Estates.
The corporation obtained per-
mission last July 26 from No. 6
Police Precinct to set fire to
three huge piles of trees, stumps
and brush, stripped from the
property by bulldozers.
Blaze Extinquished.
The next day, the precinct be-
gan biting its collective nails
when some one turned in a fire
alarm as a result of the per-
mitted bonfires. The Fire Depart
ment spent nearly three hours
putting out the blazes, and the
next day No. 6 revoked its spe-
cial permit.
The problem later was called
to tie attention of Brig. Gen.
Louis w. Prentiss, Engineer
Commissioner. The generals in
vestigation showed that one
existing regulation makes it a
criminal offense to kindle or at
tend any combustible material
on any thoroughfare, open
ground or lot within the city
limits. II
A police regulation, on the
other hand, forbids open burn
ing only between sunset and sun
rise, inferentially indicating that
open fires are permissible at
other times.
A provision of the Smoke
Abatement Act merely specifies
that dense smoke from any fire
shall be prohibited.
Five-Day Permission.
The Commissioners agreed yes
terday that, despite the conflict
ing regulations. it would work
an economical hardship on the
North Portal developer if he we're
made to carry off the trees in
stead of burning them on the
spot. They gave the corporation
five days in which to do its
burning.
Meanwhile. Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon E. West was instruct
ed to review existing regulations
and Congressional acts to see il
a new regulation allowing per-
mits for such bonfires can le-
gally be worked up.
Gen. Prentiss. during the dis
cussion. took the opportunity
of Gliding building developers
for unnecessarily decreasing
areas with such throughness In
the process of constructing their
housing projects.
THE District should do all
that is possible to discourage
this denudation of woods by
these developers" the Commits
sioner said. when people create
this problem. they shouldn't
come belly-aching to u.s."

Isolation of Israel
Ropped by Shorett

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Prime
Minister Moshe Sharett of Israel
has warned the Western powers
that their efforts to consolidate a
democratic defense system based
on regional blocs confronted Israel
with IAN unprecedented act of ter
ritorial oStraciSm."
The premier, in a 40-minute re-
view which opened a debate on for
eign policy in the KneSset, bitterly
assailed completion of the Suez
Canal Zone evacuation agreement
without any vestige of concern
for the security of Israel and de-
nounced the provision of arms to
Egypt.
1--WE have been in grave situa-
tions before" Sharett told the par
lament, "and we will be able to
endure new trials, but we shall not
exempt from responsibility those
who, by their policy, may bring
nearer or aggravate these ordealS.
In close contact, and against the
background of the worlds common
destiny, we will warn them against
their line of action which upSetS
the balance of strength In the re-
gion."

IF 1 HAVE STATED that Jeru-
salem is Israel, then I must fur
ther express the feeling that Ha-
dassah is Jerusalem. Nowhere have
I seen an organization and its work
so universally known and beloved.
For Hadassah is part of the daily
life of Jerusalem.
I will not tell in any detail what
I saw in the several hospitals, the
infant welfare stations (many in
the Jerusalem corridor), the mag
nificent preventive work done in
the Lima Strauss Health Center-all
of them activities which are sup
ported through the work of Hadas-
sab and its many friends in the
communities of America.
1t gave me the greatest sense
of fulfillment to see the end re-
sults-the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
in my small way, 1 had helped
make possible through years of
service in Hadassah. And I was
terribly proud to be one member
among 100000 who supplied the
strength and the money to make
this service to our people in Israel
possible. And I cannot tell you
strongly enough what a sacrificial
life is, led by the people who are
employed in HadaSSah.
Their salaries are so small, by
our standards, as to be totally in
adequate. But there is a dedica-
ton of service far above and be-
yond the call of the job. found
this to be true among all the people
met who deal with the social
services, schools, the aged, the
children and in related fields in
volving the handling of people.
SINCE, IN SOME way, all the
American Jewish community has
helped make this service possible,
there is good feeling for the
American tourist who takes the
time to examine how his contrib1.
tions to Israel are used.

ideas about cattle ranges. The
Israeli government was impressed
and "Tex" even accepted a job to

But "Tex" finally couldn't resist
the nostalgia to return home. He

THEN ANOTHER American
"clinched" the idea. This time it
was not a man with a 10-gallon
hat. 1t was an American cattle
expert: Alvin Malone from Bill
ings, Mont.
What was hindering the pro-
duction of cattle was the lack Of
grass. Malone noticed a wild grass
growing on the mountains here
and there. 1t was the common be-
lief that cattle would not relish
this grass. 1t was Malone who
showed that it made an ideal graz
ing food. The American cattle ex-

land area of two and half mill

of meat yearly, enough for all.

All of this is part of long
range scheme to develop the meat
supply of Israel. Israel has made
remarkable strides in agriculture.
But meat is scarce and high-priced.
The one hopeful fact about the
meat situation is the disappear
ance of the pessimistic attitude.
For long, it was held that Israel
would have to continue indefinite
ly sending her badly needed dol
lars abroad for meat.
It is interesting that the change
in attitude about the prospects for
meat is principally due to two
nom Jewish sources.
