Chiong's Son Reported
Linked to Anti-U. S. Riot

The name Of Chang Kali
shek's son has been linked with
the anti-American riots that
swept Taipei two weeks ago in
reports now under close study
in the State Department.
Chang Ching-kuo, the Gen.
eralissimo's So year old son,
heads the Nationalist Chinese
Youth Corps, some Of whose
members figured in the sacking
Of the American Embassy and
the dissertation Of the American
flag.
There is no implication that
the younger Chang had any
part in instigating the anti
American demonstrations. But
the new reports could explain
the several hours delay in the
response Of Formosan police to
the emergency.
Taipei police were reluctant to
move in and stop the bloody
demonstration-which went un-
checked for hours-because of
the connection of the youth corps
with Gen. Chang Ching-kuo, a
powerful figure in Formosa ac-
cording to these reports.
He heads the Political Depart
ment in the Ministry Of National
Defense and has placed political

The city now has about 5000
families receiving relief pay

Since March the District has
been distributing about $1,000
daily in emergency free food
orders to needy families. The
Commissioners have not yet de-

continue after this month. Com
missioner David B. Karrick said

would be stopped despite the

The city since March has
spent about $8l 500 on the free

private welfare agencies, and the
Department plans to consider

IL Agencies to Participate
Donald Brewer. deputy welfare

Mr.. Brewer said it is hoped
that the program will get under

Senators Boost
District Budget
y$4 Million
Committee Restores
Only $500, 900 Of
Federal Payment Cut
BY DON S. WARREN

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today approved a
supply bill for the District for
the year beginning July / of
$l96.4 million. nearly "a million
over the figure granted earlier
by the House.
However. 1t recommended only
a minor increase-$500. OO0-in
the size of the Federal payment
which had been slashed by the
House.
The bill was approved first
by the District subcommittee,
headed by Senator Pastore.
Democrat Of Rhode Island, and
shortly thereafter by the full
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee.
It is expected to come up for
Senate action probably on Tues
day.
While basic District revenue
legislation calls for a Federal
payment of $23 million, the
House allowed only $40 million
for the next fiscal year. The
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, acting On recommendations
by the Pastore subcommittee,
proposed to increase this only
to sos million.
Increase in Taxes Cited
This came as something of a
shock to city officials. But it
was made clear that one of the
prevailing reasons was that in
the present fiscal year the city
has collected about SIS million
more from increased District tax
laws than had been anticipated.
Senator Pastore, announcing
the decisions of his Subcommit-
tee and that of the full COM
mittee. said the whole fiscal
picture had been considered
when the recommendation was
adopted to ask only the restora-
ton of 100000 on the Federal
payment over the House figure.
He said q part Of this con-
sideration was the anticipated
surplus of several million dollars
foreseen under the Senate bill
at the end Of the 1858 fiscal
year.
Future Study Seen
So far as the Senate Appro-
priations Committee is con-
cerned, he said, there was no
conclusion as to the justice of
the authorized $23 million Fed
eral payment and he raised the
hope that at some time in the
future this may be taken up
again. He made the point that
under District revenue statutes
there Is a "carry-over" provision
on the Federal payment, with
particular reference to the city's
public works program.
There also was consideration
that the District, like all Of the
States. has a benefit from the
new Federal aid highway legis-
lation which increases from so
per cent to 80 per cent Federal
grants for highway and bridge
projects approved as part of the
interstate highway program.
Proposed Senate increases
over the House bill were spread
over a number of city operations.
The Senate committee APP
proved an item of S10l 900 for
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment. denied by the House.
which would help police main
tain the equivalent of a $500
man force.

posing larger funds for the city's
