Robout Would Ease

Chairman Rabaut replied, II
am inclined to agree with you.
They should not pay the full
cost but they should pay some
Of the cost because 1t is in
their midst" 70
Mr.. Fowler said, I'VE admit
that. We should pay an amount
appropriate for a city of this
size" 10
He said. I'VE Gcan visualize
the time is coming when we
will have to put many millions
in capital outlay in that zoo
and I do not know where it is
coming from"
Mr.. Rabaut asked why the
Board of Regents of the Smith
sonian Institution cannot put
something in their budget re-
quest to Congress for construc-
ton needs at the zoo. DR.. j. l..
Keddy, assistant secretary of
the Smithsonian, said he was
sure the Board Of Regents
would be very happy to take
into consideration any proposal
the subcommittee and the
House would make.
The subcommittee was re-
ceiving justifications on the

Mr.. Rabaut, was receiving

July l. Mr.. Fowler declared:
lover the years we have had
very little cost so far as capital
outlay (construction) in the
Geological Park is concerned,
OF course. it has always been
our understanding that it is a
National geological Park owned
by all the people Of the United
States, and there was no reason
why the District of Columbia

S Aides on
Alcoholics

Salaries for five employees to
be assigned to work with alco-
holics have been included in a

the Districts Municipal Court

The request was divulged in
testimony. released today, by
Chief Judge Leonard P. Walsh

employees asked by the court
would be $26,380. fitting into
the total requested court budget
of $1,415,000.
Judge Walsh told The Star

ping centers outside the Dis
trict boundaries affected the
values of property within the
DISTRICT" Mr.. Wilson inquired.
Yes, it has to some extent, I"
Mr.. Back answered. One of
the things We are having to do
in the reassessment program
is to reduce some of the down.
town properties, some of the F
street properties. We have
assessed them for more than
they are selling for.
II do not know that the shop
ping center outside the city is
the factor that is causing this,
understand. but the downtown
part Of the city, or certain parts
Of it, have certainly taken quite
a reduction. "Other parts of it
have increased somewhat"
He said, in discussing resi-
Dental values, there are some
properties on Sixteenth street
NV, close to the District line,
which ARE assessed at more
than they are selling for"
That is an area we are
going to have to bring down as
part of the equalization pro-
gram" Mr.. Back added.
When told that the estimated
values of tax-exempt Federal
holdings were not a part of the
current survey, Mr.. Rabaut said
he thought they should be.

$850,000 Extra Asked
For Prison Program

District officials have asked
Congress for $805 900 of added
probation, parole and prison
spending for next year on the
basis of the 1857 Karrick study
of those fields.
Major projects aimed at re-
facilitating, rather than lock-
ing up criminals, include:
Setting up a team Of eight
to work with $50 hardened
prison inmates to try to con-
dition them for lives outside
jail. $4,000.
Starting a probation team of
five to concentrate on stem

oners per officer, $103,942.
Building two prison dormi-
tories for men and one for
women and adding Is guards at
correctional institutions, y$607,-

A reformatory hospital also
would be planned at a cost of

Corrections Department d.

Although prison populations
are leveling now. the number
of prisoners doubled over the
last 10 years in Washington, he
said. Prison inmates numbered
1,027 in l947, compared to 4
932 in 1857.
Mr.. Clemmer warned budget
makers that prisoners slept and
worked too close together, with
out proper supervision. to ak-
sure safe conduct in District
correctional institutions.

Service Croft
. For Fire Boot

Fire Chief Willard Sutton
just hasn't had any luck at all
buying a long-sought new fire
boat with the 100000 Con-
gress granted him last year.
The chief told Chairman Ra-
baut of the House District APP
preparations Subcommittee at
recent budget hearings he had
sought estimates from % diff
ferent firms. The replies ran
from $125,0o0 to 100000. he
reported.
The Fire Department has
been trying for years to get a
replacement for the William T.
Belt. the present boat obtained
from the Coast Guard about IL
years ago. 1t would cost about
$50 900 to repair it.
Now it looks as though the
.firemen will again have to turn
to the armed services for a
boat to convert. Chief Sutton
said he is trying to arrange for
the transfer by the Army of a
70-foot craft which could be
equipped with pumping engines
for hose lines.
The fire boat protects prop
erty on more than 43' miles Of
District waterfront.

Recorder Asks
Investigators to

The Recorder of Deeds Of
flee here wants Congress to
provide money for investigators
to prevent the loss of many
thousands of dollars" to the
District from foreign corpora
lions operating here.
The $1,000 requested to pay
the two investigators was made
known today in testimony given
last month by Recorder of
Deeds John B. Duncan before
the House appropriations sub

budget.
Mr.. Duncan said his office in

Job of seeing to it that Ameri-
can and foreign corporations

ment have amounted to a $l45.-
900 increase in District revenue
per year.
Since 1854 about 5.16s
foreign corporations and l,795
domestic corporations have
qualified under the act. How
ever. according to Mr.. Duncan's
testimony, between $50 and
1000 corporations have failed
to comply with the law, and the
Department of Corporations
has received numerous COM
plants of these violations.
Mr.. Duncan added that the
department has no inveStiga-
tors to follow up these COM
plants. Testimony offered BY
Commissioner James E. McLau-
ghlin showed that a detective,
temporarily assigned to in
vestigate such violations, truned
up another $1,000 in only six
months of work.

Bigger Stuff
For Juvenile
Court Asked

Extra personnel to provide
for more effective and efficient
operation of Juvenile Court
here could save the District as
much as 100000 year, &C
cording to Judge Orman w.
Ketcham.
His statement was contained
in a plea for a $549.000 budget
for the coming fiscal year at a
closed session of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee
on the District budget. The
amount asked is $4,000 more
than this years budget.
Judge Ketcham whose testi-
mony was made public today,
said the saving would come in
the form of lower payments to
children from District public
assistance funds.
He said the court needs five
more employees to give more
time to collection of support
money for the destitute chill
dren.
He added that, though juve-
nile crime. has dropped here
slightly in the last year or so,
