Aimed at Assaults
A second proposal made BY
Deputy Chief Scott. Inspector
Aubrey M. Tolson. assistant
chief of detectives, and Inspec-
tor Richard Felber. co-ordina-
tor of detective activities, was
directed specifically at the Is
per cent increase in assaults
in the course of yokings and
purse-snatchings.
This proposal calls for legis-
lation to make assaults in the
course of a robbery, attempted
robbery or housebreaking a
felony punishable by a stiff
penalty. At present, these are
listed as simple assault, a mis-
demeanor with a one-yeal
maximum sentence which is
not usually included in an in
dictment.
Deputy Chief Scott said the
rise in apparently senseless as
saults had set a recognizable
pattern. The bandits, he said
attacked their victims to make
sure they couldn't be identified
later.

City Seeking Funds
Over 5-Yeur Period
For Public Works

President Eisenhower has
approved plans Of the District
Commissioners for a 500 mil
lion borrowing program to A.
nance public works.
The presidential action was
disclosed today in a message
to Congress which said the 500
million would be borrowed
from the Treasury over q FIVE
year period.
The President said the
Budget Bureau has approved
submission to the Congress" by
the Commissioners of the works
program for the city.
No Direct Word
Mr.. Eisenhower gave no fur
ther details, however. And city
officials said they have had no
direct word on the Budget Blu
reau's action.
A citizens committee last
year proposed a Sal million
program. to be financed partly
by borrowing and partly by an
increased annual Federal pay
ment.
The official plans submitted
to the Budget Bureau called for
spending somewhat more than
Sal million. These plans, not
yet made public, are scheduled
to be outlined to Congress at
IA joint meeting of District leg
islative and appropriation
groups which is now being ar
ranged. The plans later will be
presented in full detail to con-
greSsional committees.
The citizens committee pro-
posed borrowing about $97 mil
lion. This figure was increased
to 500 million by city officials
when the total proposed expen-
diture was increased, repeatedly
by several million dollars.
Asked $s0.5 Million
The citizens plan called for
q Federal payment Of $30.5
million annually, as compared
with the presently authorized
$23 million. The sos million
figure is understood to have
been increased slightly by the
Commissioners.
There was no indication in
the Presidents message as to
whether this proposal for an
increased Federal share in the
city's expenses has won Budget
Bureau approval.
The proposed works program,
which in general is understood
to follow the lines set by the
citizens group, provides for a
number of new schools and
other buildings.
One of the changes re-
portedly made by the Com
missioners in the original
citizen proposals was the addi-
ton of extra claSsrooms in
order to provide a future ele-
mentary school pupil-teacher
ratio of 80 to /. The citizen
committee had recommended
80 to /. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the resulting addition
to the school share of the pro-
gram was Offset by some cuts

other items.

Now the city, with a big assist

ton has started on a super
highway loop which eventually
will rim the business district
and from which wide-street
spokes will extend to the CEN
ter Of downtown.
Closing of a four-by-five

business district will become
part of the program If it meets
public approval.

If the public likes the idea,

part of the pedestrian zone
would be more than two blocks
from a parking area. Service
vehicles would enter the re-
stricted area only at specified
early morning hours. At other
times, only emergency vehicles
like fire trucks and police cars
would be allowed to enter.
The north side of the $50

being condemned for the south
