Local News Specialist
His forte was local news. Dan
was never, too much concerned
with the happenings at Capitol
Hill or the White House. He
was the man on the city desk
who handled the murder. the
FIRE, the street fight and devel-
opments at the District Build
ing.
But these stories he covered
with a dispassionate sureness
that was rooted in his acquain-
tance with the police and the
firemerH the Commissioners and
the people Of Washington who
Just lived here.
Dan was a man with a rou-
tine. He always had license
plate 8S on his cars. He always
irove TO and from work from
his home by the same route. He
always wore a homburg In the
winter and a panama in the
summer, and he was never
without his huge pipe or his
cigars. He always vacationed
at Colonial Beach and he was
always good for a touch.
He was a quiet and generous
man and a regular poker player
with his friends at the National
Press Club. Dan himself rarely
drank. but his career spanned
a period when other newspaper
men were known to exceed the
bounds Of sobriety on occasion
His friends estimate that Dan
would have been $4,000 richer
when he retired in 1854 IL all
the fiyes and los he handed out
to down-and-outers had come
home TO rooSt.
No Harsh Words
The worst thing Dan O'Con-
nell was ever heard 10 say about
a fellow man was to refer 70
him as that fella." II there
was a rewrite man asleep at his
desk, Dan used to say. Go over
there and wake that fella up"
II there was an unpleasant Of
ficial to be interviewed. Dan
would say. Go over there and
see what that fella's up to-"
His first association with the
newspaper business was about
1907 when Dan got q job in the
circulation department OF the
old Washington Times. That
same year. he was hired by the
old Post TO be q reporter. In
1909 Dan went 10 the Wash
ington Herald as a reporter
and rose to be telegraph editor
before coming to The Star for
the first time in 1918.
He was city editor OF The
Star from 1918 to 1919, a
stirring period in the Nations
Capital. spanning all of World
War l and the great flu epi-
demic that followed it. 1t was
during this period that one of
his reporters. retired Star
Church Editor Clarence A.
Linthicum. scored a celebrated
local scoop" on the other
papers-that the police had
two witnesses TO a Chinese mis-
sion murder hidden away in a
downtown hotel.
Sleeps Through Break
Dan sent a new reporter
forever after referred to as
that fella"-up TO get a room
at the hotel. The reporter got
his room. went into it, lay
down to wait and was stiIl
there asleep when other Star

ported by a small bloc Of Republicans.
Leading this combination was the re-
spected and influential Representative
Mahon Of Texas, Democratic chairman
Of the Military Appropriations Subcom-
mittee and probable head Of the House
conferees. At the same time, there are
certain factors strengthening the Sem
ate's chances of prevailing against
conference compromise substantially be-
low the $34.5 billion total. The emphasis
of the Presidents appeal, backed up by
both civilian and military heads Of the
defense establishment, is one. Another
is the fact that the administration is not
making an issue of the SIS billion Of the
reduction which can be accounted for by
bookkeeping adjustments. The third is
the fact that the powerful Senate APP
preparations Committee is strongly sup
porting the $34.5 billion figure, and will
make its voice heard In the conference.
There is room, Of course, for differ
ence of opinion as to the precise number
of dollars needed for defense. The
weight of expert opinion in this case,
however, is on the Senate side. It would
be false economy" to gamble further
with security, and the House conferees
should accept this view.

Safe Defense BUDGET

The Senate has gone long and
gratifying way toward meeting urgent
recommendations Of the administration
on 1858 defense appropriations. For the
$S4.5 billion supply bill now headed to-
ward House-Senate conference reflects
cut Of less than quarter billion dol
lars from the Scaled-down total of new
funds asked by President Eisenhower
and Defense Department officials. Re-
stored by Senate action was total of
$97l.5 million of the SIS billion cut by
the House. or that amount the Presi-
dent had strongly urged restoration Of
$l.2 billion with warning that defense
requirements would suffer dangerously
II the full reduction should stand.
There remains, Of course, the threat
OF what may happen to the measure in
conference. The House vote to reduce
the defense budget showed an almost
solid Democratic economy" lineup sup
