Funds Denied
For Monument
To democracy

The House Appropriations
Committee again has disailowed
funds for a monument to de-
|mocracy which was once COM
pared to something like the
Pyramids" that would be under
construction for a hundred years.
In reporting the Interior De-
|partment appropriations bill to-
day, the committee turned down
for a third consecutive session a
$500 request for the National
Monument Commission.
The monument to the ideals of
democracy was to symbolic the
freedoms nof speech, religion.

was authorized by Congress in
1854 and was TO have been ereco-
ed on Government-owned land
adjacent to Arlington National
Cemetery.
Private Financing
Conrad L. Wirth, director Ma
tional Capital Parks, told the
Appropriations Committee the
IL members Of the Monument
Commission had financed the ex-
penses Of the study out of their
own pockets thus far.
but we are getting to the
point" he said, where certain
reports will have to be prepared
and submitted to the Congress
for the commission and we know
of no way of getting them print
ed unless we go out and pass the
hat. 1t is a little embarrassing
to do that"
He said four members of the
commission were appointed BY
President Eisenhower, four SEN
ate members were named by the
Vice President and four House
members by the Speaker.
One of the members from Cali
fornia paid his own expenses to
attend meetings here, Mr.. Wirth
said.
Operates Without Funds
THE commission has contin-
ued to operate even without
funds" Mr.. With testified. 1T
has been somewhat embarrassing
to carry out the instructions of
Congress and have people come
to meetings and pay their own
expenses"
In turning down the request
last year. the Appropriations
Committee had this to say:
ut was testified at the time
of the hearings that the building
of the monument referred to in
the basic legislation for symbol
izing the ideals of democracy
would be something like the
Pyramids. on which we could be
building for a very long time
at an unknown price"
In its report to Congress today.
the Appropriations Committee
said it sis still of the opinion
that the Capitol Building itself
is the best possible symbollzation
of the ideals of democracy"

to work The age at which a worker encounters
employment obstacles varies widely with his occu-
patton, industry, locality and the general labor
market. Age restrictions in actual practice are
determined by individual employers and are usual
ly applied in advance of any review of the indi-
vidua job seekers qualifications. Age restrictions
are often based wrong conclusions that the hir-
ing of older workers would increase the cost of
Workmen's Compensation, pension provisions and
other insurance costs. Developments of the past
years have removed all or most of the basis for
this reasoning for most employers in respect to
most potential employees who are older.
The program instituted by the Employment
Service Division of the Department of Employ
ment Security is geared to Identifying older appli
cants who are in need of special services provid.
ing counseling and selective placement of such
workers and to the soliciting of openings for them.
The Employment Service also encourages employ
ers to modify age requirements and to take adj
vantage of the wealth of experience and skls
which these older workers have available.
Jop openings for people in this older worker
category may be placed at the Employment Serv-
ice officers at 952 Sligo Avenue Silver Spring,

Congressman Hyde -
Along the Potomac

Various congressional committees now re
viewing the Nations economic health are in sub
stantial agreement that major factor creating
initiation is excessive Federal spending. Initiation
can be stopped if we willing to cut drastically
some Federal programs, eliminate others, and
avoid any new programs.
The report of the Joint Subcommittee on Ffs.
cal Policy stresses the fact that if further initiation
is to be avoided basic revision in existing Federal
programs must be made well as foregoing new
expenditures
An example of new Federal spending pro.
gram is aid for school construction. All agree that
school construction is local problem and as such
should remain under local control Further, no
witness in testimony on the school construction
bill has been able to name a single State that
could not build its schools without Federal aid
The trouble is that the States have become
so used to turning to the Federal Government for
help that the process is almost automatic. Of any
new program requiring Federal aid we ought to
ask ourselves: ID Does the need for Federal aid
outweigh the necessity for drastic curtailment
in Federal spending and hating initiation? CD Do
we not owe it to ourselves and our children to
practice sef-restrant in calling on the Federal
Government to take over programs that are better
and less extensively done at home? co Or are
the States bankrupt in responsibility that Fed
eral aid is necessary and economic risks must be
taken?
There is only one way in which taxes can be
reduced and monetary restraints eased and that is
by stopping increases in Federal Government
spending. The cost of maintaining the Federal
Government be materially reduced if the
States will assume their rightful duties and cease
calling on Washington for aid in matters that are
best handled and financed by local authority and
under their control

Fewer Deaths

Traffic fatalities in Maryland totaled from
Saturday, June %, through July Z, period of
nine days. in comparison with Is deaths for the
same period last year. This decrease in fatalities,

are more cars in Maryland than in the combined
states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Nevada, Wyo.
ming, Delaware and the District of Columbia,
therefore this record seems exceptionally meri-
torious
Much credit for this reduction in deaths goes
to the vigilance displayed by the enforcement Of

public by the newspaper radio and television in
dustries, plus special plea made by the clergy of

Becomes More Serious Every Yeor-
Employment Age Barriers Grow
Says State Security Department

Mr.. Edward J. Wegman, Manager of the Sill
yer Spring Office of the Maryland State Depart
ment of Employment Security, mentioned today
that 'the prevalence of artificial age barriers to
employment is a growing problem which may be-
come even more serious because of greater
longevity and the aging composition of the
tons population.
The Department of Employment Security, rec
ognizing the existence of this serious problem
regarding the placement of certain older people,
has instituted special program to help resolve
the problem. For the purpose of this program, an
older worker is defined as an applicant who is
encountering may be expected to encounter
difficulty in getting or keeping job, principally
because of his age or because of factors ordi-
narily associated with age
Mr.. Wegman points out that, ''the objective
of this program is to provide older workers, as
defined above with such services as are necessary
to assure an opportunity to compete for employ
ment, on an equal basis with other workers, at
the highest level of skill at which these workers
are capable of performing, compatible with labor
market conditions"
Most people define older workers as men and
women who have reached some arbitrary, chrome
logical age such as so or 65. In reality there is
no fixed age at which worker becomes too old
