The confusion began when
Senator johnson told the Senate
shortly after noon yesterday that
he was holding up the nomina-
ton Of Judge Cockrill's successor.
Orm w. Ketcham, at the request
of a Senator. Senator johnson
did not name the Senator but
1t became known Immediately
that it was Senator Frear, DEM
ocrat of Delaware.
Meanwhile, Judge Cockrill's
administrative assistant. Mrs.
Alice Freer. had called Chief
Judge Leonard P. Walsh of
Municipal Court to say Judge
Cockrill would not be on the
bench yesterday and would
Judge Walsh provide a standby
judge.
Judge Walsh notified Judge
Mary Barlow to stand by. but
since Judge Cockrill had sched-
uled no court docket. Judge
Barlow did not go on the bench.
At the same time Chief Judge
Bolitha j. Laws of District
Court designated Judge Edward
"A. Beard of Municipal Court as
another judge available to the
Juvenile Court assignment.
Judge Walsh explained that
another designate, Judge Mil
Idred Reeves. is serving in
Traffic Court at this time and
Judge Barlow is going on leave.
In mid-afternoon, Mrs. Freer
called Judge Walsh again. This
time. she reported that Judge
Cockrill would sit on the bench
today.
At the Capitol. Senator john
son said he had talked to Minori-
ty Leader Knowland and to 1.-The
Senator on the Democratic side
who asked the nomination to 20

II hope and believe" said
Senator johnson, that we will
get the nomination acted on this
week"
Mr.. Ketcham's nomination
was called UP again on the Sem
ate floor today but was again
passed over at Senator Frear's
request.
A spokesman for Senator
Frear said the Senator consid-
cred Mr.. Ketcham fine person
individually and had no obiec-
ton to his personal qualifications
but questioned his ability to
serve as a Juvenile Court Judge
because Of lack Of previous expe-
Irience In the field.

Screaming Man Lured'
Off Bridge by Cigarette

A policeman early today talked
a screaming man of the super
structure OF the Fourteenth
street Potomac bridge where he
had tottered almost an hour in
50-mile winds.
The man drew firemen. life
nets and 20 policemen to the
bridge and forced rerouting of
traffic over Memorial Bridge as
searchlights played on the eerie
scene.
He was listed as Dentell r.
Sager. 81. Of the $500 block of

city officials in recent years
show that District real estate
taxes are not out of line with
those in Maryland and Vir-
ginia. When comparisons are
made with the tax rates alone
in many other large cities, city
officials stress, it must be
borne in mind that assess
ments there are deliberately
kept low in comparison with
market values.
On addition, District taxes
generally have been increased
by some $23 million since 1954.)
Vote Is Avoided
In a parliamentary maneuver
at the end Of debate on the bill,
however, Representative Wilson,
the ranking Republican member
Of the Appropriations subcom-
mittee for the District, Short
stopped a vote on Mr.. Jones'
amendment. The Missourian was
on his feet and was calling for
recognition when Mr.. Wilson's
motion cut of further amend
ments.
The budget bill provides $685.
449.00 for capital outlay which
is $l2,661 ,029 under appropria-
tons for the current year. The
request came to S47,850, 300 be-
fore the Commissioners volun-
tarily withdrew 1881 900 be-
cause Of the Federal highway
program.
Operating expenses in the
House-approved measure total
Sl57. 08l 800, a reduction Of ST.
$4,000 in requests by the Com
missioners. However, the amount
is S6.937.950 more than is allowed
for operating expenses in the
current year.
1 Southwest Building Dropped
/ The largest single item trimmed
out of the capital outlay program
was 1904. 900 for a new combina-
ton repair shop and fire station
in the Southwest Redevelopment
area.
! Public school operating funds
come to 37,160,000. This is an
increase of $4.489.250 over the
current budget, but is $50 900
less than was requested. The
increase, however, will provide rs
additional teachers to handle in
creased enrolment and 68 ele-
mentary teachers to bring the
pupil-teacher ratio down to
about 80 to /.
Under public health. the bill
carries the sum of S28,l30, 900 for
operations. an increase of 81
435.080 over the current year, but
$3.50, 700 under requests.
Mr.. Rabaut. who acted as floor
manager of the bill. said the
budget is in balance and the
committee could find no justifi-
cation for increasing the Federal
payment to create a surplus in
the District treasury.

wanted to jettison the whole
thing.
Rufus Lusk, chairman OF the
comprehensive coming plan COM
mittee, said the only question for
discussion should be whether to
throw the whole damn thing
out" He specified he was speak
ing for himself alone and not for
his committee.
He described Mr.. Lewis code
as IAN ingeniously subtle plan to
change the whole face of the
city"
Plan Defended
This brought an objection from
Robert o. Clouser. planning d.
rector for the District Zonine
Commission. He pointed out that
the Lewis code had required
the expenditure OF nearly
Sl50,000 and had consumed al
most two years Of work. He said
he did not believe any job per-
formed by an expert under such
conditions could be so bad that
much Of it could not be salvaged.
The advisory committee is
headed by Thomas J. Groom,
president OF the Bank OF Com
merce. After the meeting, 1t was
agreed the various questions ad-
Ivanced would be codified and
made public for citizens infor-
nation before the hearings. The
hearings will be held by the
Zoning Commission, which in
Icludes the District Commission
Iers. the Architect of the Capitol
and the Director of the National
Park Service.
S. E. Sanders. reporting for
the Committee on Population
Density Control, said that body
recommended Mr.. Lewis coming
regulations be rejected.
Thornton Owen OF the land
Ievaluation and assessment COM
mittee. said the Lewis plan pro-
vides for no future growth and
reduction in tax income would
follow its adoption.
Industrial Restrictions Hit
Charles c. Koones, of the
warehouse and light and heavy
Industry committee, urged that
regulations on industrial sites be
not so stringent as to send in
dustry into the suburbs.
One point made was that zon-
ing should not be a method OF
controlling traffic. This was ad-
vanced by Frank Luchs. head OF
the committee concerned with
the area for Office buildings, re.
tail stores, etc.

City Heads Decide
To Extend, Clarity
Food Welfare Plan

The District Commissioners
have voted 10 extend the emer-
gency food order program, origi-
Inally set up for 80 days, and have
set up more specific standards
for administering it.
The chief change would pro-
vide that unemployed and low
income families be eligible for
food orders only if the total in
come is less than would be
granted under public assistance
practice.
Donald Gray of the Welfare
Departments Public Assistance
Division said in practice it is
figured this way:
Take the total requirements
for food. clothing. personal and
household needs, rent and utili-
ties. Then take SO per cent Of
that figure and. if the family
Income is less. then the family
is eligible for food orders.
For regular relief there is is a
5000 ceiling. But this is waived
where food is required.
Families seeking emergency
food orders may include only two
adults and only children under
Is, who must be IN the home of
the applicant. The families must
be District residents and must
have lived here for at least II
months. Those provisions have
applied in the past.
The Welfare Department to-
day certified 157 families for
food grants. AZ of them re-
peaters. One family got its
third grant. The total of fam
lies authorized to get the free
food orders to date is BIT.

sorrow.
The great lessons of Easter help
us understand and apply this idea
of the unifying power OF suffering
which is SO basic in our religious
faith. Suffering associated with the
death OF loved ones or with our own
fears of this universal experience
makes us aware of the oneness OF
humanity. Members of Congress re-
member the heartaches of daily
casualty lists during the war, but
peace has poignant sorrows, too.
Jesus own suffering was inevitable

Opponents Hit,
Milk Proposal
Marketing Order
Termed Unnecessur,

4 opponents OF a proposed milk
marketing agreement and order
for the Washington area today
got in their innings.
Leon j. Steck, economic con-
sllltant, testified that there is
no need for such an order. The
hearing is being conducted by
Chief Hearing Examiner G. Os-
mond Hyde Of the Agriculture
Department at the Presidential
Arms. 1920 G street NV.
The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association has
requested the order to help
correct descriptive practices and
end disorderly marketing in the
Washington area milk market"
! But Mr.. Steck vigorously OBJ
jected to any order. He appeared
on behalf of the Valley Of vir-
ginia Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers Association, Harrison
burg. Va; the Queen City Co.
operative Dairy, Inc, Cumber-
land. Md. and the Capitol Milk
Producers Association, Frederick,
Md.
Oppose Federal Order
In testimony prepared for
delivery, ne said that these three
groups ARE opposed to the is
suance of Federal milk order
in the Washington area.
There is no need for such an
order" he declared. Marketing
conditions in the area are order
ily. Such problems as do exist
must be solved through con-
structive action by each CO.
operative supplying this market,
lie. by each adjusting its sup
plies TO the requirements of its
buyers. Intervention by the Fed
eral Government is not neces-
sary nor would it be in the pub
lie interest.
THE fact that one of the four
cooperative associations sup
plying the market is faced by
a surplus problem. and is not
able to dispose of the eyer-grow-
ing output of It's member
producers at a satisfactory re-
turn does not mean that market
ing conditions are diSorderly
That association has it within
It's power TO reduce that surplus
to the level Of the necessary
operating reserve of its buyers
To ask other producers to share
in the carrying of a surplus
to which they did not contribute
would be inequitable.
"The adoption of a classified
price plan for the Washington
area, TO the exclusion of the fiat
price plan. will introduce insta-
bility in the market. Smaller
handlers will find themselves at
disadvantage in competing
with larger handlers and some
may be forced out of business.
When this occurs. it will result in
the loss of market TO the sup
plying producers"
Dairy Manager Testifies
Joseph w. Cotter Of PALS Otis
street NE. assistant manager of
Harvey's Dairy. Brentwood. Md.
denied there are chaotic condi-
tons in the Washington milk
market. He testified against the
need for an order.
Harvey H. Scott OF Harrison
burg, Va. assistant manager Of
the Valley Of Virginia Co-opera-
tive Milk Producers Association,
told the examiner he does not
know what effect an order might
have on milk prices. He said he
is interested in getting all the
money he can for the milk pro-
ducers he represents.

which the House has removed.
This, of course, will mean SO mil
lion more on the Federal pay
ment." said Robert E. McLaugh-
lin. president of the board of
Commissioners.
Only $40 million was made
available by the House as the
Federal Governments share of
running the city. Congress pre-
viously had agreed the amount
should be $23 million. although
only $40 million is included in
the current fiscal years budget.
Various city departments
have submitted requests for re-
instatement of amounts removed
by the House Appropriations
Committee on the basis of injury
to their programs, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said. 1T is my recol-
lection that our Budget Office has
approved requests to the Senate
totalling about $3.5 million"
He declined to discuss details
until the Board of Commissioners
can meet to study the effects of
the House approved bill.
s6.s Million Actually Cut
Actual cuts from the Commits
sioners' requests came to $50
million. Last January. the re-
quests were STAT million more
than the amount voted by the
House yesterday, but $7.8 million
of this was subsequently with
drawn because of benefits the
District will receive under the
Federal highway program.
The total budget of S192 $50. =
300 sent to the Senate represents
a reduction of S5,723.079 from
the amount Congress voted to
run the city during the current
fiscal year.
The House voted down two
attempts by District Committee
Chairman Mcmillan to provide
SlOl 900 to bring the Police De-
partment up TO $500 men.
Representative Jones. Repub-
lican Of Missouri. failed to OBJ
tain a vote on proposed
amendment which would have
cut the Federal payment to the
District from $40 million to Sll
million. During the two-hour
debate he warned that he was
going to offer such an amend
ment.
Washington's property-owners
are not contributing through
real estate taxes to the city's
support to the same extent as
property-owners in other COM
munities. he charged.
THE $3.50 rate here is ridicu-
lous, Mr.. Jones said. This is
not as much as l pay in my
home town for schools alone. I
am not objecting to Federal
contribution. but I must object
to an excessive contribution
until the property owners here
pay their fair share"
