Fulton Sees Bigger D. C.,
Much of 1t Underground

tiful and practical. He's espe-
cially proud Of the Andrew Mel
lon Memorial Fountain in front
of the National Gallery Of Art
All that was there was q dull,
triangular piece Of land until
Mr.. Fulton got his idea aud In
troduced q bill.
As for Columbus ..
"I'd like to see a memorial to
Christopher Columbus" he said
"A really fitting one. Somewhere
uptown. In front Of the Treas
ury would be a good place Make
a circle or underpaSs or some
thing to relieve the traffic mess
at 18th and Pennsylvania. Then
put a memorial to Columbus on
top of it. He deserves more rec
ognition than he has received,
Mr.. Fulton said Washington's
early planners had imagination,
adding:
That's why Washington is as
beautiful as it is. But we must
think ahead, too-100. 200 years
London, Paris, Rome. Berlin
Tokyo-they're all capitals and
they're the chief cities Of their
nations. Washington, I'm con-
vinced. will surpass them in size
So let's plan for it, and let's
start right now"
Taking his own advice, he has
started. He has introduced q
resolution to authorize establish
ment of a Christopher Columbus
memorial commission. Its job
to plan a fitting memorial fol
the discoverer Of America.
Mr.. Fulton isn't insisting that
the commission decide on a traf-
If1c circle in front Of the Treas
lury. But he certainly wouldn't
object to it.

Full $40 Million
For D. {. Seen

Chances for restoration to the
District budget Of the full $40
million Federal payment are
good, Commissioner Sam ue
Spencer said last night.
Questioned on Report to the
People," over Radio Station
WWDC. he agreed that unani-
NOUS Senate approval Of the re-
storation and the fact that the
House made its 81 million cut by
only one vote gave the District
good reason to hope 1t will get
the full amount when the meas
ure goes to House-Senate con-
ference.
Backs Formula"
He commended a recent
Senate suggestion that the
amount of Federal payment
should be based on some specific
formula, but warned that the
District would still face serious
problems in persuading Con-
gress to appropriate the full
amount.
But, he conceded, the full
amount should be easier to get
II 1t were based on a formula.
And, he suggested, such q for
mula probably would allow the
District a much larger Federal
payment than the $40 million
yearly which is now authorized
by law.
For example, he said. the figure
would be about $35 million If the
Federal Government-the Dis
trict's major industry-paid the
same amount that big industries
pay through taxes in cities like
Detroit and Pittsburgh.
Off-Duty Police
He also urged passage Of the
bill to pay of f-duty policemen to
serve at commercial events at
licensed establishments. The Po-
lice Department now uses on
duty police at these functions
and the money paid by the estab-
lishments goes into the General
Fund. This bill, which comes up
for House action tomorrow,
would set up a special fund to
pay off-duty police and flremen.
Mr.. Spencer said the Commis-
sioners favored the bill because
1t would relieve more policemen
for street duty in their campaign
against crime.

They Are Roi|rooded,

The 10 brothers and sisters
live in a hovel beside railroad
tracks in nearby Maryland.
You can't get to it in an auto

about to fall over. The stove

There is no plumbing. Water
must be carried from a spring

operated on for kidney stones.
He hasn't been able to work
since January. The mother must
watch out for the kids--the old

Iyear-old helps out by getting
odd jobs.
The welfare authorities pro-
wide SITS a month. Even though
the hovel costs little, there isn't
much money for food or clothes.
And none for anything as
Luxurious as a vacation.
But three Of the children this
year can get q two-week stay in

Auto Cooling
Systems Need
Winter Care

Getting a car ready for win
ter driving means much more
than merely putting anti-freeze
solution in the radiator" declared
Harold P. Pierce, manager of the
clubs Washington office.
"The cooling system must op-
crate at maximum efficiency dur.
ing the winter in order to get
top engine performance" he con-
tinued. "The driver should have
a comfortably warm car, defrost-
ing of the windshield should be
reasonably quick and effective,
the engine should be warmed up
adequately to prevent sudden
stalling, and tires should have
good, serviceable treads to pro-
vide traction on slippery surfaces
and in snow.
Those motorists who have de-
layed getting anti-freeze should
have the following services per.
formed: Drain water or old anti.
freeze. Clean rust or other resi-
dues from cooling system. Check
entire system for leaks, opera
ton of thermostat and water
pump, and condition of radiator
cap, fan and other belts, and ra.
diator and heater hoses. Worn or
defective parts should be re-
placed.
Take care of this chore now
and winter driving should prove
much more enjoyable and trouble
