Meeting to Write
D. c. Budget Bill

The Stennis Subcommittee oil
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee has scheduled a closed
meeting Monday to write its
version of the District budget
bill for the year beginning
July l.
If advance indications are
carried out, the subcommittee
will recommend some considera-
BILE increase over the House bill
as to funds for additional teach
ers in the elementary schools.
Also the subcommittee is ex-
pected to recommend other in
creases in appropriations as
granted by the House.
Since the subcommittee has
not yet sat down to mark up the
bill, there was no positive de-
tailed information in advance
and the indications were based
only on general attitudes ex-
pressed at the recent open
hearings.
Some of the major issues are
expected to be postponed until
the House has acted on sup
Elementary District budget re-
quests. These have been filed
with the House since its passage
of the regular supply bill and are
coming up for House hearings
and action soon.

Biggest Show on Earth
To Unload Here at Dawn

The Biggest Show on Earth is
scheduled to get off the tracks
and on the ground here tomor-
row around sunrise.
Big Top fans can see the
Ringing Bros. and Barnum and
Bailey cars unload from the
Pennsylvania Railroad siding in
the 1900 block of Kenilworth
avenue NE.
The "24-hour men" are al
ready in town, making arrange
ments for the four-day stand.
The circus will play twice daily,
at 2:15 and 8;15 pm.
Some of the old acts, includ-
ing some of the best, are not
with Ringing this year. The
three top clowns. Emmett Kelly,
Otto Briebling and Felix Adler,
are absent. The sad-faced Kelly
led a delegation out of the show
in a labor dispute. Also missing
is Unus. the marvel who bal
anced himself on one finger.
But a lot of the familiars are
still trouping with the biggest
big top of all.
Pinto Del Orc, the beauty who
does headstands on a high ira
peze without holding on with
her hands, will return tomorrow
to frighten the spectators. Also
back is Takeo Usui, a tiny Japa-
nese who slides down a wire from
the tent top. And the show con-
tinues to feature a herd Of 81
elephants. They are starred in
a musical number.

version has four big parades
Advance men for the show are

of the super marches. This one

he was asked to drink another

turnout for such a party was
tremendous. And the Prime

seemed to enjoy a good laugh.

BY SELWA ROOSEVELT

Hes so healthy looking! I
thought he would be more
ascetic." a woman was over
heard exclaiming to her COM
panion.
She was referring to Prime
Minister Nehru of India and
she was observing him, as were
1000 other Washingtonians,
at a reception given yesterday
by the Indian Ambassador and
Nine. Mehta at their Macomb
street embassy.
The Prime Minister did in
deed look healthy as he stood
in the receiving line with the
Mehtas and his daughter, Mrs.
Indira Gandhi. What's more.
he seemed in very good spirits,
almost bouncy you might say.
despite the ordeal Of shaking
hands and listening to the
trivia Of party conversation.
Even the presence of a bat
talon of photographers (the
largest number this reporter
has ever seen at a Washing
ton party didn't bother him,
with their endless fiashbulbs
going off and the constant
whirr of movie cameras every
time a VIP went down the line.
Circulated Among Guests
The Prime Minister is a man
of tremendous energy and after
the first half-hour of the party,
he obviously got tired of stand
ing in one place all the time so
he decided to circulate in the
large drawing room for the rest
of the evening. There he walked
back and forth, talking to
everyone who wanted to come
up and chat, followed by pho
tographers and reporters, COM
pletely unruffled by the jam
ming around him.
At one point in the receiving
line, Mr.. Nehru started to yawn,
suddenly he looked at the pho
tographers facing him, poised
for action, and quickly stified
it exclaiming to everyone's
amusement:
IF you take a picture OF me
when I'm yawning, that's not
SO good"
AS soon as he left the line,
the Prince Minister was asked
by a representative of the In
dian radio to record a few
words, but Mr.. Nehru waved
him aside saying,
mo, nothing for India. I'm
always there"
Then the society reporters
approached him and he looked
somewhat startled.
