There was dancing in the
streets on Georgetown's Cherry
Hill last night-but not much oil
it.
For one thing, Cherry Hill lane
the 10-foot-wide street." on
which what dancing there was
took place. is too steep.
And the new pavement is toe
rough for dancing.
Commented one paying guest,
f1ourishing a lacerated shoe sole:
when I try to mambo, I trip
Besides. this concrete is cutting
the devil out of my shoes"
And when you get right down
to it, the 150-or-so celebrants
just plain felt more like talking
than dancing, or like playing
scrabble, or even playing the
hi-fis which occasionally blared
tunes out of the windows over
looking the lane.
What They Celebrated
Principal topics of discussion
of course, were:
/. The repeal of a portion OF
the Districts ancient Alley
Dwelling Act to permit these
renovated slum dwellings to re-
main in onetime slum areas.

mously yesterday to urge CHA to
locate its proposed $50 million
headquarters at the hall. Airing
ton boulevard and Glebe road.
National Security Agency, now
occupying the site, is to move
to Fort Meade, Md.
At its meeting April 80, the
board went on record in oppo-
sition to CHA moving into Airing
ton Hall, or anywhere else in the
County. Members said then that
they did not want the Govern
ment to take any more land off
the tax rolls. Chairman George
M. Rowzee, jr.. said: What we
need is satisfaction, not addi-
ton"
New Information Cited

versal, they said, was on the
basis Of information, received
since the earlier meeting, that
the Federal Government would
not relinquish control of Arling-
ton Hall.

installation do not present any
major problems for a CHA relo-
cation there.
Mr.. Lundberg said the agency
could expand sewer facilities if
needed, and that the water sup
ply was sufficient. He added that
the traffic situation would not
change materially If CHA moved
In.
Mr.. Rowzee said: "As long as
we are stuck with the Govern
ment there, I am inclined to
reverse my opinion and invite
CHA to move into Arlington Hall"
Urge Reversal Of Decision
Mr.. Rowzee reported that the
board received a number" OF
letters urging it to reverse the
April decision. One of the letters
was from the Chamber Of Com
merce, and another was from the

BY HECTOR MCLEAN


The District Department Of
Public Welfare took the biggest
single cut in operating expenses
handed out Friday by the House
Appropriations Committee.
The cut amounted to $786,271
or 7.8 per cent of the depart
ment's proposed budget for the
fiscal year which begins July /.
Overall, the city's operating
budget was gut just less than 2
per cent.
Analysis yesterday indicated
that the welfare cut had resulted
from a misunderstanding" be-
tween Welfare Director Gerard
M. Shea and the House Appro-
priations subcommittee, headed
by Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat, of Michigan, which hand
led the city budget.
Requested More staff
Last summer, when Mr.. Shea
first submitted his budget esti-
mates to the District Commits
sioners. he asked for additional
social workers. If he had 81
more, he said, he could cut Is
per cent out of relief money now
being spent on dependent chill
dren by finding runaway fathers
and making them support their
children.
The Commissioners, however,
disallowed the item.
/ Testifying before the subcom-
mittee last April 20, Mr.. Shea
fell INTO 2 of the subcommittee S
los "off the record" discussions
One of the two concerned the
problem of additional social serv-
ice workers, and Mr.. Shea re-
peated his estimate of IS per
cent savings.
Fridays committee report had
this to say:
According to information re-
ceived by the committee 81 addi-
tional social workers or inves-
tigatorS would enable the We'll
fare Department to recapture Is
per cent or more of approx
mately 81 million now being
spent on care of dependent
children.
This expense is the result OF
fathers who abandon their fam
lilies and leave to the District
the responsibility for their sup
port.
1.-THE committee recommends
an increase of $129,5O0 in the
budget estimate for additional
personnel to investigate individ-
ual cases.
"1'he increase in staff should
reduce expenditures for care OF
dependent children in fiscal 1856
and makes these savings avail
able to the department for obi
| cation during the year.
THE committee is providing
this increase with the firm ex.
| pectation that the requests fol-
funds for this type of assistance
should greatly diminish in the
immediate future"
The expected savings amount
to $675.000 and the committee
wanted Mr.. Shea to use them to
help run his department.
The trouble is that if Mr.. Shea
actually makes the savings, he'll
never get his hands on Sc pei

ment has been hit, Mr.. Shea
said, You only earn fedora

SO Million Asked
Preparing to open several new
installations next year, Mr.. Shea
asked for an increase of 81, 305,.
TIL over his basic budget fol
the current year. a total of $10,.

He got. under the committee
recommendation, only $9,245, 729
This is made up of his basic

marked for additional investi.
gator and $500, 900 out of the ST.:
million increase he had re-
queSted.
How serious the effects of the
cut will be can depend or
whether he is allowed to transfer
money between accounts in the
Welfare Department. Mr.. Shea
said. If he can, he said, he might
be able to absorb the cut.
The committee also slashed
$430, 900 earmarked for construc-
ton of warehouse at Children
Center near Laurel, Md. The re-
port said. while such a build
ing may be desirable, it is the
committees opinion that thu
project should be deferred for al
least another year, particularly
in view of the financial condition
of the District Treasury"
Would Wreck Plans
Mr.. Shea said this would Wrecl

And, he pointed out, when tn
new Juvenile Training Schoo
was planned there, plans TO

"As matter of fact" he said
1--WE spent about $4,000 for

He could give no figure on es
timated savings through large
scale buying, but said he woult
have one prepared for submis
sion to the Senate in a bic
for restoration of the warehous
funds.
Explaining how he may b.

Part of it will depend on tim

on July 1, We'll be able to say,

'CamaIier Hits
City Heads on
Budget Again
Says Congress Got
Faulty Picture Of
District Situation

DISrTtCt SItu0tI0n
District Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier last night repeated
criticism of his fellow Commits
sioners for their presentation of
the Districts budget to Congress.
Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger. the Districts top representa-
tive at most House hearings on
the budget, refused to comment
on the charges.
Mr.. Camalier. who early in the
Eisenhower administration re-
jected a White House request to
resign, will retire from Office
June /, to be replaced by Robert
E. Mclaughlin, present chair
man of the District Public Util-
tiles Commission.
No Responsibility
Speaking over radio station
WWDC on Report to the
People" last night, Mr.. Camalier
disagreed with charges in the
House Appropriations Commit
tee that the drawing up of the
District budget had been char
acterized by fiscal irresponsi-
bility."
However. he repeated charge
he made Friday that the COM
mittee'S comment was due to the
failure of those who appeared
to present the situation properly
And, he said, he regretted that
Veteran Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler was not present for
any of the House budget hear
ingS. Mr.. Camalier said Mr..
Fowler, whose wisdom and
knowledge surpasses ALL" could
have given the congressional
budget makers a clearer picture
of the Districts situation, and
consequently the charge of ir-
responsibility might not have
been lodged.
In his comments Friday, Mr..
Camalier pointed out that he
was not one of those who ap-
peared before the House COM
mittee. He did not go, he said,
because he felt he was unquali-
fed, since he had been left out
of discussions with the Federal
Budget Bureau of the District
future financial problem.
District building observers re-
ported however, that Mr.. Ca
ported however, that Mr.. Cam
alier attended few of the ses-
commissioners prepared the
budget for submission to Con-
gress.
MIR. Fowler Gives Position
Commenting on Mr.. CANA
lier's statement. Mr.. Fowler said,
Nobody told me not to go" to
the House hearings. He said a
limit had been placed on the
number of persons who could at
tend, and that Il voluntarily
stayed away"
Mr.. Fowler for many years was
the Commissioners chief fiscal
adviser. In the last three years,
however, under reorganization of
the District government, he has
been made subordinate to Schuy-
Ter Lowe, director of general ad-
ministration. who heads the de-
partment of which Mr.. FoWler's
Budget Office is a part.
Mr.. Fowler noted that in the
past he had attended the budget
hearings largely as a policy
spokesman rather than as tech
nical expert.
This year." he said, policy
was handled by the Commission
ers and Mr.. Lowe, and I sent my
two top technical experts" These
were Deputy Budget Officer Will
liam G. Wilding and Assistant
Budget Officer David P. Herman.
However, Mr.. Fowler said, II
fully expect to go to the Senate
hearings" on the District budget.
