District 10 Press
For Restoration OF
Fringe Parking Fund

Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss.
Engineer Commissioner, last
night said the Commissioners
will seek to restore $269, 900 for
fringe parking. which had been
deleted by the House from the
Districts 1855 budget.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
who appeared with Gen. Prentiss
on the WMAL-TV telecast of
your Commissioners Report"
said the matter will be taken UP
with the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee for District ap-
preparations tomorrow.
In another matter, the Com
missioners said a $4,000 cut in
funds allocated to the forthcom-
ing national American Legion
convention would stand. The
Commissioners said they were
not embarrassed by the cut be-
cause the decision to pledge this
amount had been made by a
predecessor Board of Commits
sioners. Commissioner Spencer
said he thinks the Board of
Trade and the Greater National
Capital Committee probably will
take the matter up With Con-
gress.
Commissioner Spencer said he
was distressed to see the report
on alleged police brutality to-
ward juveniles and that he had
been told by Police Chief Robert
v. Murray nothing along these
lines is going on.

Manual Training School
Sold by City for S26,155

The Commissioners today APP
proved the sale of the old
Manual Training School at 1910
Wisconsin avenue NV.
The architectural firm Of Del
CERT & Yerkes & Associates was
the highest bidder at $26,155.
1t plans to remodel the building
and use it as headquarters. The
land is about 7,400 square feet.
James L. McCallister, admin
istrative services officer, recon-
mended to the Commissioners
that they accept the bid because
the former training school would
soon be vacated by the District.
He said it would probably cost
$1,000 to $4,000 to remove the
building and added that funds
would not be available for this
purpose.
In other actions, the Commits
sioners turned down an offer to
sell District property on Fort
Totten drive due to what they
considered an unreasonable price.
The property is without sewage
and the commissioners thought
by installing sewage facilities
they might get a better price for
the property. The Carroll Con-
struction Co. offered $45, 100 for
the property.

Famous Painting Napoleon
COMING to National Gallery

in his cabinet" It was described
by the artist as being full
length, ltfe-Size."
David was 81 years of age
when he began the picture, and
the Emperor was only Al. The
artist obviously enjoyed his as
signment. The skill of his drawing
and the richness of his coloring
make the composition a treasure
without regard to the imperial
character of the subject.
Admirer Of Napoleon.
Born in Paris in 1748, David
was left an orphan at 8 when
his father was killed in a duel.
He was placed as a boy with
Francois Boucher and later was
d pupil Of J. M. Wen, under
whom he won the Prix de Rome
in IT'S. His experience in Italy
confirmed him in the classical
style, and he achieved vast pop
ularity for his Oath of the
Horatii," Death of Socrates"
and other academic" enter
prises.
Returning to Paris. David was
drawn into the revolutionary
movement, and thus he was
chosen president of the conven-
ton. But when Napoleon took
over the government, he became
a devoted admirer of the Corsi-
can, for whom he painted THE
Coronation of Josephine" and
THE Distribution of the Eagles, "
as well as other themes. The
restoration of the Bourbons
drove him into exile in Belgium
and he died in Brussels in 1925
Already installed in the Ma
tional Gallery is David's portrait
of Madame Hanelin, a prize item
in the Chester Dale Loan Collec-
ticn of French Masters.

Another world famous paint
ing is coming to the National
Gallery of Art, through the gen.
crosby of the Kress Foundation.
It is a portrait of Napoleon
Bonaparte by Jacques Louis David
and represents that classic mas
ter at his best as perfectionist.
Purchased by Samuel S. and
Rush Kress from the Wilderstein
gallery at price not officially
disclosed but running well into
six figures, the composition is a
work on canvas. 80 inches high
and 49 inches wide. 1t shows the
Emperor as he was at the apex
of his power in 1910.
Actually the picture Is believed
to have been finished in 1872,
and some critics have detected
signs of Napoleon's increasing
troubles reflected in his coun-
tenance. The weight Of his

REIMBURSEMENT of the child to
foster care.
Even more compelling than
the cost to the District for the
foster care is the adverse effect
on a child, who, anxious over his
sick parent, is placed in an
institution among strangers
away from home.
The $54,460 appropriation
sought to reinstate the home
maker service would provide for
81 employees, including 10 home
makers paid $2,552 a year.
DIR. Frederick C. Heath, deputy
director of public health. testi-
fed at the hearings on the
budget that this would give more
than 1900 days of service. 1t
requires six days of service per
family. which would provide for
about TOO families, he said.
He told Of the finding that on
decreasing the service, I'VE find
that now some of the men have
to stay home from work when
their wives are sick or go to the
hospital. or else the neighbors
try to do what they can, some
times very ineffectively, and
sometimes the children run the
streets without any kind of ade-
quate care.
Sometimes the Welfare De-
partment has to put the children
in the foster homes" he added.
DR.. Heath noted that about
100 communities render this type
of homemaker service now.
Against the modest expendi-
ture involved, there is a cost of
about $500 q year for keeping
each dependent or neglected
child at Junior Village.
In fiscal 1853, "a of the 627
children admitted were taken
in because of the illness of one
| or both parents.
