General Fund Faces
Full S4-MiIIion Cut
In Federal Payment

The House Appropriations
! Committee theory of balancing
out $50 million in overall cut
backs from the 1855 District
budget estimates by slashing the
Federal payment 81 million had
city officials in a quandary to-
day.
Telephone lines between the
District Building and Capitol
Fill were hot on this point
within an hour after release Of
the committee report yesterday.
District budgeteers wanted clari-
f1cation.
n Here is their proposition:
q: They sent up estimates total
ing $172.4 million for all ex-
penditures. The total cost rep
resentS a distribution Of revenues
under five separate funds. These
are the general fund. out of
which are paid the costs for. the
construction and operation of
such facilities as health, welfare.
school, corrections and recrea-
ton; the highway fund, which
covers highway construction and
maintenance; the water which
pays for the water supply and
distribution system; the brand
new sanitary sewer fund, paying
for the disposal of sewage, and
the motor vehicle parking fund,
out of which comes the cost of
parking meters and some parking
law enforcement measures.
II Breakdown on Cuts.
The House committee reduced
the city estimates, by fund. as
follows: General, $2.8 million:
highway, 1881 900; water, $49.-
SGT; parking, $258.744, and sani-
tary sewer by nothing, since 1855
will be the first year of its exist
ence. BY totaling all these re-
duced appropriations. the House
committee gets its total cuthack
of $50 million.
But when the committee rec
commended offsetting this cut by
reducing the authorized $40 mil
lion Federal payment to SIG
million, it apparently failed to
take into account one important
factor-the Federal payment is
payable. under the law, only to
the general fund.
Consequently, for all practical
purposes, the reduction the COM
Inittee proposes for the general
fund is the full 81 million Fed
eral payment cut, rather than
the $2.8 million listed in the
committee report.
Only 100000 Surplus.
The effect of this would be
to leave the highway, water and
parking funds with bigger sur
pluses than those normally
healthy funds expected. On the
other hand, the chemically
undernourished general fund
would wind up with onlya $780,
600 surplus instead of the STA
million surplus the city's budget
estimates had contemplated for
the end of fiscal 1885,
4 The STA million surplus
originally hoped-for in the esti-
mates would be skinny enough.
A surplus of only 100000 is
almost unthinkable. according
to budget experts. -
Serious results would be in
evitable in a year, the budget
people conclude. Less than q
week ago. figures released by
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee forecast that.
should the District go into fiscal
1856 with a surplus of $1.4 mil
lion, it would find itself with
a potential deficit of $5.1 million
by the end of that year.
10 enter fiscal 1856 with a
surplus of barely 100000, as
seems indicated by the House
committee computations, would
add $1.2 million to the already
predicted $5.1 million deficiency.

Phone Call Costs Man
 G9,OOO When Husband Hears Wife Called Darling

DUBLIN, Ireland, R-Donald Angus Mckay phoned another mans Wife-and the final bill came to 5000 pounds ($25,2OO.
 The husband, bank official Godfrey O'Reilly, was accident ally cut in on the call when he phoned home from his office. He heard Mckay calling Mrs. O'Reilly darling" and joined the conver- sation.
 When he got home that night Mrs. O'Reilly had gone away with Mckay.
 The story came out Friday in Dublin's High Court. O'Reilly sued Mckay for criminal con- versation," an old-fashioned form of action dating from the time when wives were regarded as chattels.
 A 12-man jury ordered Mckay to pay O'Reilly the 5000 pounds as damages.

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower today personally vel comed Secretary Dulles back from Paris, and arranged for the first nationally televised an d broadcast cabinet meeting in his tory to hear Dulles report on the West European defense agree ment The session will be at 4 pm. PST.
 Dramatizng the importance at tached to the agreement, Eisen- hover went to the airport and greeted Dulles who spoke of "a new era in Europe"
 Eisenhower vigorously shook Dulles hand and patted him on the back after the secretary walk ed down the ramp of the special four-engine Air Force transport which flew him from Bermuda on the last leg of his journey from Paris.
 In the car, Dulles handed the President a typewriter document of some 40 to 50 pages-presum- ably a confidential report on the 15-nation Paris meeting.
 This conference succeeded in resolving bitter French German differences over the contested Saar territory and cleared the way for Western German rearma- ment and full fledged German membership in the IA = nation North Atlantic Alliance.
