Park Police Ask Funds
To Double Mounted Unit

The horse is making a come
back in Washington as a public
servant.
The Park Police have asked
for money to hire 10 more riders
and an equal number of horses
to join the present mounted unit
OF IA men and II horses. The re-
quest has been submitted to In
terror Department budget officers
for inclusion in the 1883
budget, 1t was learned. If the re-
quest is submitted to Congress
next January and approved, the
money would be forthcoming
after July /. 1858.
More horses would prove an
all-around asset to the force,
observed Park Police Inspector
Melvin H. Leach. With more
riders and mounts available, the
inspector noted. the force could
expand in the big local parks

Memorial Heated
By New System

The latest development in
heating and cooling systems has
just been installed at the
Thomas jefferson Memorial, Of
f1cials said yesterday.
Five new heat pumps operated
by electricity have been set in
place. They will heat the public
rooms and offices there during
the cold weather and air condi-
ton them when temperatures
are high.
The old steam pipes that
brought heat from the central
heating plant were affected by
the settling of the filled-in land
that surrounds the memorial.
Superintendent Edward j. Kelly
of the National Capital Parks
and his associates decided that
an independent heating system
was necessary.

.Garnishment
Law Pushed

Legislation to curb garnish-
ment abuses in the District will
be introduced this week by Sem
ators Butler. Republican of
M aryland. and OMahoney,
Democrat of Wyoming.
The two Senators will CO.
sponsor bill along the lines of
"a proposed draft by the Munich
pal Court Committee of the Dis
.trict Bar Association, The Star
learned yesterday.
Two articles in The Star last
Sunday and Monday disclosed
that some $500 garnishments
are filed every month in Munic-
ipal Court, most Of them by
easy-credit stores.
Many Complaints
Since the articles appeared,
Senator Butler said, he has re-
ceived numerous complaints
about punishment from busi-
nesSmen and wage earners who
live in Maryland and work in the
District. The situation revealed.
he said. is ''intolerable."
The Bar Associations draft
bill, which has the Endorsement
of all the Municipal Court
judges. would amend the District
Code to provide that only 10 per
cent OF the salary of a head of
a house could be attached. For
a single person. the figure would
be Is per cent.
Can Hold Check
Under present law, the head
of a house has an exemption
from garnishment of 5000 a
month, and a single person has
a $50 exemption. But the en-
tire pay check of a wage Garner
can be held until Municipal
Court allows the exemption.
Senator O'Mahoney already
has gone on record in favor of
a new law. criticizing credit mer-
who push" merchandise
on customers and "get them
head over heels in debt"
Last week Municipal Court
Judge Milton S. Kronheim, IT.,
a frequent critic Of the garnish-
ment process here. urged a new
law in throwing out the Sl6O
claim Of a credit store against
a man earning rs cents an hour.

Investigation by police showed
that the man had been in the
house for some time. He had
apparently turned off the small
living room light. which Mrs.

telephone wires.
The man presumably had en-
tered the house through the

Senators Support Move
To Curb Charity Rockets

Nevada, also a subcommittee
member. said a similar ordinance
passed in Reno. New, had gone
a long way toward curbing these
abuses"
I This meature has my fullest
cooperation" he added. II am
heartily in favor of it and hope
for early hearings.
/ Meanwhile. David F. Linowes,
chairman of the citizens COM
mittee which drafted the meas
ure, predicted that one year after
the legislation takes effect. I'VE
have every reason to expect that
the United Givers Fund and
other legitimate charity drives
will raise a half-million dollars
more annually in this area"
Police investigators, Better
Business Bureau officials and
Mr.. Linowes have estimated
that more than $500. 900 annual
ly is funneled into questionable
If not outright phony appeals
here in the name of charity.
I Mr. Linowes said he was con-
fident that the Better Business
Bureau. the Washington Board
OF Trade. American Legion. Vet
Grams Service Center. United
Community Services. Federation
OF Citizens Associations and the
various religious groups will want
TO testify in favor of the legis-
lation.
Has Wide Support
/ The bill, which moved swiftly
through the House, has wide
community support. 1t is based
on the principle that an in
formed public will give to the
legitimate drives and shun the
phony ones.
7 Solicitations solely for relig-
ious purposes or solely among
the members Of the soliciting
agency are exempt from require
ments Of the legislation. All
others conducting drives for
charitable. patriotic or benevo-
lent purposes would be required
to register with the Commits
sioners before the solicitation.
The Commissioners are en-
powered under the bill to write
regulations that will spell out
exactly what information they
will require from the registrants.
Generally. however, it is expect
ed tina tthe required information
will range from who is conduct
ing the drive and for what pur-
pose to how niue hwas raised
and how it was distributed.

Nicely Attacks
Home Rule Bill.

Chairman Nicely Of the Senate
District Committee yesterday
blasted the "home-rule" bill in
troduced earlier in the week on
request of the District Commits
sioners.
Principal complaint of the
West Virginia Democrat against
the new measure was its provi-
sion for presidential appointment
of two top Government officials.
the governor and lieutenant
governor.
Mr.. Nicely. sponsor Of a Dis
.trict home-rule bill calling for
"a nelected mayor and city coun-
Gil. said he does not want any
top post Of new local govern
ment to be appointive.
Il don't want a hand-picked
mayor for Washington" the
West Virginian asserted. II
want the citizens of Washington
to elect their own mayor"
The latest home -rule" pro-
posal has the backing of the
White House. Introduced last
Wednesday by Senator Beall. Re-
publican Of Maryland at the re-
guest Of the predominantly
Republican Board Of District
Commissioners, the measure
would establish a territorial form
of government such as existed
here briefly from 1871 TO 1874.
President Eisenhower has said
he wants a "home-rule" govern
ment that has appointed chiefs
to preserve the Federal interests.
The 1914 regime had a Presi-
dent-appointed governor. secre-
tary. board of public works. board
of public health and city council.
The latter body formed half OF a
Legislative assembly" the other
half OF which was an elected
body.
Since its introduction. the new
bill has attracted additional
sponsors. They are all Republic
cans: Senators Javits OF New
York. Case of South Dakota.
Allott of Colorado. Payne of
Maine. Flanders of Vermont,
Barrett of Wyoming and Potter
of Michigan.
In radio talk last night Dis
Itrict Commissioner David B.
Karrick refused comment on the
future Of the measure. He indi-
Gated he favors 1t. however, be-
cause it represents at least a
start toward full home rule for
this long -disfranchised commu-
nifty.
The course OF the proposed
legislation through Congress is
uncertain at this point. The full
membership of the House Dis
trict Committee is due to meet
tomorrow to consider all pending
District legislative affairs Among
these items is a bill TO increase
retirement benefits of public
school teachers here.
Chairman Abernethy of the
House Judiciary Committee has
announced. meanwhile. that his
group will hold hearings on all
pending home-rule bills for the
District.

Support for the House-passeC
measure to curb charity rack
eteering here came yesterday
from members Of a Senate Dis
trict subcommittee along with
assurances of an early hearing.
Senator Clark, Democrat OF
Pennsylvania. chairman of the
three-man Judiciary Subcom-
mittee which will work on the
bill, said the problem Of pro-
motors of phony charities comes
up everywhere. He added that
the pending measure would help
deal with the problem here.
The legislator said an article
in The Star OF March II detail
ing the activities Of the charity
racketeers made a prima facie
case to show why legislation is
needed here.
Senator Clark. assuring prompt
action on the measure, at first
proposed a hearing mex: Tues
day, but it had to be postponed
because his fellow subcommittee
members had other commit
ments.
Early Hearings
Letters going out i'm response
to requests to testify also carry
assurances that hearings will be
scheduled at an early date. The
committee staff reported receiv-
ing quite a volume Of mail on
the legislation.
Senator Javits, Republican Of
New York. a subcommittee men,
Der, is particularly interested in
the measure because as Attorney
General Of New York he handled
enforcement of that States anti
charity racket law.
The reason for our law" he
said. was the victimization OF
the public, giving to charity with
full hearts. by INSCRIPTIONS pro-
motors or by the objects Of char
ity who got into the hands OF
these promoters. Thus, the OBJ
tects Of charity and the public
were exploited.
Every place which is a major
object OF solicitation should safe
guard its citizens with laws OF
this character. We found il
necessary in New York"
Factor in Faith
He said the enforcement as
poets were important because
1t was necessary to dig into the
amount being spent to raise
money. This. he explained. is
always an important factor in
good faith.

Get Pullets Into
Production For
Better Egg Market

Stronger egg prices are in pros
pect for this fall and to take full
advantage of this improved mar
get egg producers will have to get
pullets intolfull production as soon
as possible.
Wade H. Rice, University of
Maryland Extension poultryman,
says pullets should be moved into
laying houses if they show comb
development or are 5 months old.
He cautions against overlooking
of grain, because the birds should
be well fleshed but not over fat
for best production.
And don't overlook starting the
lights about the first of Septem-
Der, Rice adds. Pullets will respond
better if the house is lighted when
days start getting short.
