District Budget
For 1957.Asks
S1o6 Million
Sum Is $l3 Million
Short Of Needs Set
By Commissioners
BY DON s. WARREN

President Eisenhower sent to
Congress today q 1857 District
budget Of $ls6.1l5.0O0 q record
breaker but one that falls more
than sl3 million short Of what
the Commissioners found neces-
|sary.
To meet this gap, the city
heads later viii seek an addi-
|tional outlay Of $i3.2 million II
and when Congress approves the
necessary additional financing.
This is based on the city heads
proposals for an $8.l million
boost first year-more later) In
taxes, an increase in the Federal
payment to $40 million and
restoration Of a 81 million cut
lin the Federal share ordered last
year at the insistence Of the
House Appropriations COMMITTEES.
Many Ifs" in Budget
All Of which emphasizes the
|worsening Of the Districts finan-
cial plight. for this budget Is
based on an unprecedented num-
Der Of "ifs." AS one observer put
Iit: THE headache Is Of brob-
,dingnagian stature"
President Eisenhower told Con-
lgress the Federal share should
be increased. He put 1t in these
words:
II am recommending legisla-
ltion to authorize an increase Of
50 million in the Federal pay
ment to the District Of Columbia.
This represents q reasonable
Federal share Of the increased
cost Of operating the government
Iof our Capital City.
He has not spoken out vet on
restoration Of the ~ million slice
made last year By the House. The
city heads say they win ask it,
but 1t Is not yet ofiicially before
Congress.
U. 8. Share Il Big II
One Of the biggest Ifs, OF
course. Is how many dollars Con-
lgress actually win appropriate
for the Federal share. regardless
Iof how fnucn may be authorized
In any new revenue bill. The
House Appropriations Commit
ltee has taken the stand that
while taxes are certain, the Fed
Ieral share is only an auhoriza-
ition. subject to later votes on the
actual grants.
Should Congress fail to grant
the higher Federal payment. and
restoration Of the lost 50 million
city experts say. the District will
be confronted with some desper-
late choices: To add So million
to the taxload. on top of the
proposed $8.l million, or to make
some heroic cuts in the pending
budget.
And already. there have been
cries Of dismay that the COM
missioners found they could moi
recommend all the new teach
ers sought by education groups
as we'll as a lot Of other requests
that had to be denied.
The city heads, in fact, sliced
nearly SIT million from the re-
quests submitted by their de-
Ipartments.
Up IS Million From This Year
The record size Of the budget
so far submitted is illustrated
by the fact that 1t is more than
SIS million higher than this year
But If the hold-hack items are

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Columbus: Please discuss the
pronunciation of appreciate"
and appreciation" The speech
instructor at college insists that
the third syllable is correct only
as see. M. A. E.
Answer: Sorry. but the "see'
sound has no dictionary sane
ton. nor is it heard in I'M
affected speech. The diction-
aries show the third syllable as
"Shl." as in ship" In standard
American. however, the sound is
nearer to. if not exactly like, the
"shee" of sheep" Thus: uh-
FREE-shee-ate; UNPUBLISHED
AY-Shun.
Decor is French word that
means decorative setting" as
Of a store, a luxurious interior,
a salon. 1t has become a favor
lite word of interior decorators
who use it in the general sense
of the decorative style, finishing
period or atmosphere of an in
terror.
In the French spelling OF de-
cor. the "e" is marked with an
acute accent which gives it the
sound Of "sy." Say: day-KAWR.
Massacre is often heard as
"MASS-uh- kree," because of the
ere of the third syllable. Mas
sacre is French. In that Ian
guage it is pronounced mas-SA-
kruh. both as" fiat as in "mass
sack" In English. however, the
accent shifts to the first syl-
liable, and the third syllable is
pronounced "ker," as in maker, f"
thus: MASS-uh-ker.
The word autopsy is frequently
mispronounced "uh-TOP-see. i"
1t must be that the -topsy re-
minds us vaguely of the Topsy
who lest growed" The word,
however, is from the Greek
autoptoS. "seen by oneself" and
its primary meaning in English
has no association with cadavers.
1t means. To examine per-
sonally. to see with ones own
eyes" Accent the first syllable
only "AW-top-see; or: AW-tup-
see.

IL Dbl. Pass Pass
Pass
First, let's consider pass.
You pass in this situation for
one reason only-because you
think your side can score more
points playing against the oppo-
nent's bid than playing the hand
extensively.
And, of course. to reach such
conclusion you would need
length and Solidity in the oppo-
nent's bid suit. Never pass your
partners takeout double just be-
cause you have a weak hand.
When Mr.. Dale passed in to-
days deal he told his partner two
things. The first was that he
thought Mr.. Abel's one-heart bid
would be defeated. Second, he
announced long, strong holding
in the heart suit and asked for
a heart lead.
Here is why he wanted heart
lead: AS a means of conducting
the best defense on the hand he
viSualized himself as the de-
clarer at a heart contract. And
If that were the case. what would
he try to do first? Pull the
enemy'S trumps, of course.
Naturally Mr.. Champion got
the message and opened the
eight of hearts. See how this
opening and the subsequent de-
Tense prevented Mr.. Abel from
winning tricks with his small
trumpS.
Mr.. Dale played the five of
hearts on the first trick and Mr..
Abel won with the jack. Trying
sneak attack at trick two Mr..
Abel led his small spade. But
Mr.. Champion bounded in with
the king and fired another heart,
Mr.. Dale's nine forcing the ace.
Now the ace of diamonds was
cashed and Mr.. Champion I'M
blocked the queen. He played
the 10 on the next diamond lead
and Mr.. Dale overlook with the
Jack. picked up all of Mr.. Abel's
remaining trumps and then led
the jack of clubs through the
king.
Mr.. Abel took no more tricks.
He won Just four altogether-the
ace and jack of trumps and his
two side aces.
