New Formula to Reduce
Relief Grants by Fourth

A new formula for figuring re-
lief grants here will cut of or
reduce payments to more than
one-fourth of the Districts pub
lie assistance recipients start
ing July l.
The formula was approved
yesterday by the Public Welfare
Advisory Council, seeking to cope
' with mounting caseloads which
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea attributes to increased gen.
eral population and the rising
number of aged persons.
While the move is expected
to effect a savings of about
100000 a year, Mr.. Shea said
the relief costs will still be higher
next fiscal year than this year.
At present. relief grants are
figured by estimating the re-
cipient's basic need, subtracting
the amount Of any other income
resource, and then reducing the
difference by % per cent.
Under the new formula, the
20 per cent reduction will be
taken of the total need first.
and the grant will be that figure
minus the outside income avail
able to the recipient.
The new formula is considered
more equitable in that all per-
sons would be treated alike in
terms Of the money available to
them for living expenses under
the Districts inability to pay
100 per cent of minimum sub

Outlay
OF 3l.9 Billion
Near Final Vote
b. The AssocIated Press

A $500 billion highway con-
|struction bill-a record breaking
Ipeacetime Government spending
measure neared the stage Of
final congressional action today.
Two sets of Senate House
Iconferees arranged to meet on
the big bill amid indications it
might be sent to President Eli
|senhower early next week.
The conferees working on
construction features Of TIL ehiIl
virtually finished their work late
yesterday. but scheduled q final
session for today to consider
some minor language revisions.
Byrd Confident
Meanwhile, the conferees
working on tax features of the
Legislation arranged their first
session. Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat, Of Virginia, heading the
Senate group, said in advance
he did not anticipate too much
difficulty.
The House voted for SLAB bill
lion Of additional taxes over 16
years to help finance the big
road building program. The
Senate cut $500 million from
this figure by easing a special
levy on heavy trucks.
One possible source of contro-
versy is a Senate rider which
would limit spending on the in
Iterstate highway system in any
lone year to sums available in
the highway trust fund set up
by the bill.
The conferees arrived at the
1929 billion .figure-lower than
those used by either the House
or the Senate - by limiting to
three years the bills application
to primary. secondary (farm to
market) and urban road pro-
grams.
Projected for Five Years
| The Senate's SGT billion pro-
gram had projected these fol
five years. The House. in count
ling $5l.5 billion, had estimated 9
Il3-year program.
But the Federal money avail
able for these three systems
would total 1925 million in fiscal
1887, $3.50 million in 1858, and
I$875 million in 1859. Presumably
future Congresses would con-
ltinue them at the $875 million
level or higher. These Federal
funds are matched $3.50 by the
States.
The compromise bill includes
l$27.5 million for the interstate
system, 80 per cent of it Federal
money.

he was open to other proposals.
Symes said under his plan a
stadium would be constructed at
a cost of $18.4 million with
enough parking space for 1000

LOS ANGELES. Aug. a.
Coach Joe Kuharich jolted the
Redskins today with an an
nouncement that only seven had
shown enough in the first 10
days of practice to clinch a berth
with the squad.
Everything else is wide open"
The coach added, while surprised
players looked at one another
and silently tried to identify the
lucky seven.
To casual observer, Kuhar-
ich'S announcement would be a
good omen, inasmuch as the
squad has shown some pretty
good football in the informal
skirmishing. But Kuharich isn't
happy with the physical condi-
ton of certain players and feels
that others could show more
speed.
"Your legs may be dead" he
told the squad at the conclusion
of yesterdays drill, "but some of
you aren't in shape and haven't
made enough progress in the 10
days we've been here. l want
to see sharp improvement in the
next couple of days"
Make A Guess
AS a guess, one might pick the
top seven as ]. D. Kimmel, Vol
ney Peters, Dick Stanfel and
Red Stephens in the line and
Eddie LeBaron. Vic Janowicz
and Dale Atkeson in the back
field. But for seven more he
could take Leo Filter, Roy Barni,
Chuck Drazenovich and AL
Dorow in the backfield and
Johnny Allen. Norb Hecker and
Ron Marciniak in the line.
You might even select a third
group, and this would include
6-foot 182-pound Bill Fulcher of
Georgia Tech. who was a stand
out backing up the line in a
paSs-defense drill. Fulcher looks
small. especially for a linebacker
but he's quick and makes the

right moves. Fulcher can tackle.
He brings 'em down with a
"thump" that brings a smile to
Kuharich's face. On the other
hand, he takes a bump we'll and
comes up ready for more.
"Fulcher is green" Kuharich
said. "but he's got possibilities.
Hes fast enough to recover
when he makes a mistake. he
comes up well to meet the play
and he's not afraid to stick his
nose in there"
1t was suggested that the
youngsters size was against him,
He's bigger than / was when
I played college football"
Kuharich said. Hes as big as a
lot of these kids" Joe added
calling off a list of names like
Barni. Scooter Scudero and
Jerry Planutis to support his
statement.
That was almost like indorsine
Fulcher's first pay check.
A full-scale scrimmage is
scheduled Saturday, and if there
isn't any improvement by that
time there will be somewhat Of

John Grubb played almost 80
holes at Kenwood in eight over
par in winning the Middle At
lantic junior golf championship,
added it to his District junior
crown, and now believes he's
ready for the national compe-
tition ahead.
Grubb's August schedule in
cludes the USGA Junior cham
pionship at Williamstown, Mass,
next week, and the Jaycees
junior at Fargo. N. OAK. the
week of August 10.
He's through as a junior here
except for the Worsham Me-
mortal tournament in Septem-
Der. Next year he will be 10
a freshman at George Wash
ington, and over the age limit
He almost went to Vanderbilt
but decided on CIV.
John had to work overtime
yesterday but finally beat Keith
Bowie of Prince Georges, up
in 20 holes, with a birdie deuce
on the second extra hole. He
beat Bowie, 5 and 3, in the
District Junior final at Goose
Creek.
Worked Hard for Success
John has worked hard for his
golflng success. He's toned down
his temper and lives the game
every minute.
He practices two hours daily
at his home Manor Club, hit
ting the balls and then shagging
them himself. He went to the
Eastern Open in Baltimore last
week and Swallowed Dow Fin
sterwald, who he thought had
the best swing in the tourna-
ment.
He has picked up a few golf
tricks. On the 18th yesterday he
was one up, and his tee shot was
about 30 yards back of the 150-
yard marker. He stepped it off
to learn exactly how far he was
from the green, walking from
his ball to the marker. He hit
the shot in trap. but he knew
what he was doing.
John feels he's a much better
golfer than he was in the spring
when he lost in the first round
of the Schoolboy championship.
And he is.
Bowie Depressed
Bowie was depressed about
losing for few minutes, but he
shouldn't have been. He had a
II for the round and was par
par on the extra holes.
Bowie was three up at one
time, and two up after nine with
SO that included two brides
and an eagle on the 9Th. The

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-How
much is Eddie LeBaron'S name
worth at the box office?
The question came up after
the colorful little quarterback
was hauled, limp-legged. off the
field with a knee injury in the
Redskins first scrimmage. Anx-
iety showed in the face of Paul
Schissler. who handles promo
ton details of the Redskins
Rams game for the Los Angeles
Times. The Redskins coaches
crowded around as the knee was
examined, and Head Coach Joe
Kuharich had a this would
have to happen expression.
Schissler was concerned pri-
marily about attendance figures
for the game on August II. Ku-
harich thought of the future and
how LeBaron's loss would affect
the team. But the question kept
popping up, how much is Eddie S
name worth at the box Office
AS for the Los Angeles game,
his absence undoubtedly would
make some difference. but not
much. The game has grown too
big to depend on the appearance
lof any individual. It's a shooting
match with no punches pulled,
and produces enough excitement
to keep the fans coming, year in
and year out.
In San Francisco, however
Eddie'S loss would hurt. 1t might
knock as much as 5000 off the
attendance, for all the pre-game
stories about the Redskins and
Forty-Niners have a strong Le-
Baron flavor.

Pro-football today rarely de-
ponds on an individual player to
pack 'em in. The Redskins
coaches sat around later and
thought of players who might

came up with some good ones.
There was George McAfee and
Sid Luckman of the Bears. Ace

1t goes back to Kuharich's
statement that football is team
game, too big for an individual
to dominate. Baseball fans flock
to see Mickey Mantle bat, just as
they turned out to watch Babe
Ruth, hoping to see him hit one
over the fence. Boxing fans
would go to see Dempsey shadow
box and turned out in stable
numbers when Joe Louis was
adding members to his Bum of
the Month Club, knowing Louis
wouldn't get much more than a
workout.
Tennis fans paid big money
to watch the late Bill Tilden on
the court, and the colorful Wal
ter Hagen, Bobby Jones. Ben
Hogan and others in their class
packed 'em in for the major golf
tournaments. AS in baseball, 1t
was the individual performance
that captivated the Imagination
and brought out the fans. Not so
in football. How often does a
lineman, even a great one, get
the headlines? Not often. and
yet without him victory might
not have been possible.
