the old law should be granted.
That was the story yesterday as
the Honse passed the big sup
Elemental bill.
The only hope the District
had was that the question might
be raised in the Senate in a
day or two when it takes final
action on the supplemental bill.
d. C. Cites Need
The District Commissioners
and other District spokesman
already have asked the Senate
to treat the District in a more
generous fashion. District
spokesman have said the extra
SO million is needed if the Dis
trict is to carry out its intended
public works program.
The supplemental bill, as
passed by the House, provides
for an outlay of about $18 mil
lion for services and projects
of the District not contained in
the regular 1857 fiscal year APP
preparations.
Much of this money is for
projects included in the long,
range public works program.
Among items approved by the
House are funds to increase the
size of the Metropolitan Police
Department. This would not
bring the force quite up to the
authorized $500 members, but
it would approach it.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
2 Eligible in Proud
But Horossed Family

Mrs. Brown does not want to
live ION the public"
She and her family always
have been self-supporting and
respected in the community.
Since her husbands desertion,
however, they have lived on
money from public assistance
funds.
This disturbs responsible Mrs.
Brown. She puts it this way:
Il have my health and strength
why should I live on the pub
lic?"
She already is working one
day a week as a domestic work.
er. She hopes to build that work
up until she is employed daily.
She has not told her five chill
dren the family is on relief.
Perhaps this is not wise. But
Mrs. Brown feels the informa-
ton will hurt them and their
belief in themselves as a family.
She is particularly concerned
about the effect the information
would have on her oldest child,
nearing adolescence.
Mrs. Brown has done every
thing she could to keep up a
normal home and community
life for her family since her
husband left. Their crowded
two-room apartment is clean.
The children are always neat
and clean, too, although their
clothes sometimes are a little
threadbare.
Continues Church Role
Mrs. Brown has continued to
play an active role in her church,
which means a great deal to
her.
The children are obviously de-
voted to her, as she is to them,
and the older ones help her
take care of the others. She
urges them to go to the COM
munity house nearby, where
they take part in the cooking
program, dancing, arts and crafts
and other projects.
Mrs. Brown thinks ahead. She

D. c. Fund Bill Passed
With No Extra Payment

The House yesterday passed a
SIS billion supplemental bill
without any increase in the
Federal payment to the District.
1t had been thought that some
fight might be made, but it
didn't develop.
When Congress, last March,
adopted a new revenue law.
which eventually will raise local
taxes by $40 million a year,
there was a feeling that the
Federal Government had a moral
Obligation to raise it's share of
costs from $40 million to $23
That philosophy was aban-
doned last week, when the
House Appropriations Commit
tee reported the supplemental
bill without any additions to the
Federal payment.
Committee Veto
The House Appropriations
Committee has maintained that,
regardless of the sum the House
authorizes as a Federal pay
ment, the Appropriations Com
mittee must determine just how
much actually will be appropri-
ated.
In this case, the House APP
preparations Committee deter
mined that nothing more than

The fight for Burke airport
1ared briefly in the House yes

Tentatively set for action
early next week, the issue rests
now with the Senate Appropria-
lions Committee. 1t came to
Capitol Hill last Monday in the
form of a request from Presi-

an all-time high.
Weeks Backs Friendship
In a press conference yester-
day. Commerce Secretary Weeks
said he still stood on his original
Recommendation that Baltimore's
Friendship International airport
be designated as an alternate"
for WaShington's excess traffic
until Burke is built.
In aviation parlance, alter
nate" means a landing field
chosen by the pilot because of
inability to land at the destina-
ton set out in his original fight
plan.
Secretary Weeks recommen-
dation to the Civil Aeronautics
Board does not use the term Co
terminal" To put Friendship In
that status to handle Washing
ton traffic would necessitate
amendment of certificates of
commercial airlines to permit
landings there.
Opposition Voiced
The Air Transport Association,
voice of the commercial air lines
and the Air Line Pilots ASSocia-
ton, have opposed use of the
Baltimore field, either as a CO.
terminal with National or as a
substitute for Burke.
In reply to Mr.. Flood, Repre-
sentative Broyhlll, Republican
Of Virginia. whose district con-
tainS the Burke site, said an air.
port there would make the area
"uninhabitable" and would place
area residents in a Gross fire
between two major airports."
Representative Landlord, DEM
ocrat of Maryland. another
member of the Maryland dele
cation solidly opposed to Burke
and in favor of Friendship, said
he doubted that Burke would
relieve congestion at National.

Clever Reporter
By JACK JONAS

sale OF the DWlgnC +. DAVIS
home at 1922 S street NV. to
the Laos government brought
to the mind of a lady we
know a story about an enter
prising man.
After the house was built
back in the 1920s, its first &C.
cupant was the late David
Aiken Reed, who served as a
Republican Senator from
Pennsylvania from 1922 to
1885.
The Senator apparently
was a retiring type and, 1t
later developed, not even his
staff of two in his Senate Of
flee knew his home telephone
number.
It became rumored around
one day that an important
bill was being given fine
tooth scrutiny by one of the
Senator's committees, and
that something big was in the
works. The press, looking for
a story, began trying to find
Senator Reed.
The reporters went to his
home, but their knocking
brought no response, al
though the Senator's auto
mobile was parked outside
and they were certain he was
home. They tried his office,
but nobody there knew how to
get in touch with him.
One of the newspapermen,
however, had noted that the
license number on Senator
Reeds auto was 1922. Put
ting 1922 and 1922 together,
the reporter went into a
drugstore telephone booth
and called North 1922. He got
the Senator and his story.
Check
A fellow who works for a
living stepped up to the pay
window at his Office this
week and was handed his
weekly check. He looked at
it and noted that the
amount was one cent.
Its times like these" he
said sadly, that discourage
a man."
He brought the check
back to his desk and
showed it to some of his
colleagues. Great joke, they
thought, and a great Gu
riOsity. They began bidding
for the pay check, and our
friends spirits lifted con-
siderably. The bidding got
up to 81.
But he's going to hang
onto it for a while. He says
he'd be too embarrassed to
cash it.. The explanation
for the penny is that it was
all he was entitled to get.
He'd drawn his vacation
pay in advance, but there
was a One-cent error in the
advance. The check was to
straighten it out.
