tax on the ground that the facili-
ties aren't worth it and are not in
line with charges of similar airport
fees.
National has set a limit of $3.50
a month until the airport is i'm
proved and the county has set a
minimum Of S425 a month. Both
sides have taken the respective

Companies To

A knotty problem which had
frustrated efforts to establish q
health and accident insurance pro.
gram Tor city employees was soly
cd last night when two competing
insurance companies agreed "a
split the business.
AS result of the compromise,
the New York Life Insurance Co,
was given the contract for health
insurance coverage and the Gull
Life Co. will get the life insur-
ance.
Mayor c. B. Harvey and Com
missioner Paul r. Roberts cast the
only dissenting votes.
Harvey based his. opposition on
the fact that Gulf Life actually was
low bidder on the health insurance.
I'm going to be forced to vote no
on this motion. II seems that the
agreement means that the high
bidder on the health insurance is
going to get the bid. We asked for
bids and the low bidder should get
the contract" said the Mayor.
Commissioner Roberts explained
his vote simply: IL haven't chang
ed my mind"
Commissioner Delio Cobo, who
held the key vote, said, 'Tm glad
they got together, the city win be-

Commissioners Louis CsrboneIl

operator on a 1O-mile. nonstop
run from Cabin John to the
White House, and fed with $32
and 260 tokens.

of the car, repeatedly asking OPP
orator Herman H. AllSbrook for

The otherwise empty streetcar
fitted by at least so normal
stops, leaving potential riders
standing.

Mr.. AllSbrook, %, Of 1897
Cameron street, Alexandria, was
waiting in the car at the Cabin
John loop, he told police, when
the gunman stepped out of the
bushes. leveled a rifle at him
and told him to open the door.
He ordered Mr.. AllSbrook to
dump his money into a canvas
sack the man brought aboard.
When the operator reached for
his own billfold, the gunman
snapped, II don't want your
money. I just want theirs"
He took the operators white
shirt and donned it after taking
off his own. The bandit left
his shirt, the butt of the rifle
and a blue mask in the car.
When the car stopped be-
tween Seventeenth and Eight
eenth street NV, on PennSyl-
vania avenue, another car was
close and the bandit ordered Mr..
AllSbrook to continue. He or
dered a stop almost in front Of

Senate Group Votes
0ne-Year Extension
Of Rigid Supports

The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee today rejected the adj
ministration'S flexible farm price
support program by voting 81
to extend rigid supports for an
other year.
The action came after the
group turned down 9-6 pro-
posed two-year extension of the
mandatory supports on the basic
crops: Wheat, cotton, corn. rice
and tobacco.
Chairman Aiken predicted
after the closed door session
that the Senate would reverse
the narrow committee decision
in favor of the administrations
flexible price support plan.
Senator Young, Republican,
of North Dakota, offered the
motion for a one-year extension
of the high-level supports due
to expire with this years crops.
Three Republicans and five

were Senators Young, Thye. Re-

Ellender, Democrat, of louisiana:
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa; Johnston, Democrat, of

Opposing the extension were
Senators Aiken, Hickenlooper,
Republican, of Iowa; Williams,
Republican, of Delaware;
Schoeppel, Republican, of Kan
sas; Welker, Republican, of
Idaho; Holland. Democrat, of
Florida, and Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico.
Senator Humphrey offered the
proposed two-year extension but
Senators Young and Thye voted
against that along with others
who opposed the one-year mo-
ton later.
II think a two-year extension
would face a certain presidential
veto," Senator Young told re-
porters.
He said he believes a one-year
extension has a $3.50 chance
for Senate approval and about
the same for escaping Veto"
