the five dogs at 1898. All of
the dogs except Bravo were
purchased from Mrs. Milton
Seeley of Wonalancet, N. H.
Bravo really didn't cost the
Government anything; he was
a by-product of canine social
life in the Antarctic. Neverthe-
less, the specifications include
him in the list of 1888 dogs and
that is the lowest price the
Navy wants in the bids.
Bravo-silver gray, alert and
bigger than his relatives-has
been featured in pictorial re-
ports of the National Geogra-
phic magazine on the Antarctic
expedition.
The bid specifications Of the
Navy include this notation on
Bravo: "Caution-this dog is
highly spirited and must be
handled with extreme caution. E"
Bravo's Navy friends say this
is SANDER.

Rise in Job|ess
at 1900
26, 500 Area Total
Counted in February

The number Of unemployed in
the Washington area increased
5000 during February, the Dis
trict Office of the United States
Employment Service reported
today.
Fred 2. Hetzel, USES director
here, said the total of jobless
rose from $4,000 in January to
26.500 in February.
Hardest hit were construction
workers. The number of con-
struction jobs decreased by
$500 to its lowest point since
World War II. However, some
unemployed construction work.
ers found other jobs, accounting
for the lower overall figure for
the increase in unemployment.
Mr.. Hetzel said the only cate
gories not reporting increases
in unemployment during Feb
ruary were services and gov
eminent.
3.5 Per Cent Idle
Despite the increase in un-
employment, Washington con-
tinues to enjoy less severe eff
fects from the recession than
many other parts of the Ma
ton. An estimated 6.7 per cent
of the Nations workers are un-
employed while the number
here totals about 3.5 per cent
of the 664, 900 work force.
The figures for the first two
months of 1858 are the highest
since the corresponding period
in 1854 when $4,000 were re-
ported jobless. During the first
10 weeks of 1858 there were
1880 new job seekers. This
was an increase of 2,670 or 81 A
per cent over the same period
last year.
Semiskilled Hard Hit
Unskilled labor accounted
for is per cent Of this total,
semiskilled comprised 80 per
cent, domestic workers 10 per
cent, hotel and restaurant &C.
equations about IL per cent.
clerical and sales workers %
per cent and professional peo-
pie 10 per cent.
Labor and business leaders
here have expressed hope that
an expected increase in private
and Government construction
projects this spring will provide
jobs for thousands Of unem-
ployed.
Activity is expected to speed
up in a few weeks on $3.50 mil
lion in construction work now
underway. Another $500 mil
lion in new construction, both
Government and private, is
scheduled over a three-year pc
Rod beginning this spring.
Last month USES found jobs
for 2,575 persons, but this was
500 fewer placements than in
January.

light Of your policy to combat
the recession by advancing the
date of numerous projects,
am hopeful that this much
needed facility can be included
in the general speedup."
A spokesman for the VA said
that unannounced plans had
been to request construction
money a year from now with
construction to start by the end
of 1859.
The planned 500-bed hospi-
tai would cost about SIS mil
lion. 1t was originally author
lied in 1947.
Rules Are Relaxed
When the Federal Govern
ment's dispersal policy went
into effect. authorities decided
the hospital shouldn't be built
in a target area such as the
District. So the VA decided on
a site near Rockville.
But the former dispersal
rules were relaxed and last
spring the Soldiers Home site
was picked.
Mr.. Broyhill declared that
IF the veterans hospital to be
built on a site at Soldiers Home
is treated as a crash program,
then l am certain it will be
possible to get under way this

Capital Asked
About Plans
To RepayLoans
Fiscal Dilemma
Of City Studied
At Hearing
BY GRACE BASSETT
star stan Writer

Representative Smith, Demo-
crat Of Virginia, today de-
manded to know how the Dis
trict Commissioners proposed to
repay 500 million they want
to borrow from the Federal
Treasury to help run the city.
The whole fiscal dilemma of
the District goes back to the
question Of where you're going
to get the money" the veteran
Virginia lawmaker said at q
Joint Senate House Fiscal SUBJ
committee hearing on the I'M
pending debt of the Capital
City. He is chairman Of the
subcommittee.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent Of the Board Of Commits
sioners, insisted that q 500
million borrowing program over
80 years, and an increased an
nual Federal payment from $2S
million to $32 million was nee
essary to save the District from
deterioration.
I'VE feel Congress must base
its responsibility to provide
capital city expenses that local
tax dollars cannot cover" Mr..
Mclaughlin said in answer to
Mr.. Smith. The Congressman
warned the Commissioners they
were assuming Congress would
vote bigger lump sums for the
Federal share of municipal op-
erations.
Sum Never Granted
THAT looks nice on paper"
he said. But as q practical
matter. you've never got the
authorized payment. How are
you going to get that $32 mil
lion?"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he
hoped the story of a capital
city on the downgrade would
help convince Congress it had
to pay the price of maintain
ing a show place for the Ma
ton. If Congress accepts the
policy that you can't tax local
residents past the point of
"overflowing," then Congress
decides how it must pay the
rest of the cost, Mr.. McLaugh-
lin said.
He reported that the Com
missioners had taken this story
to Congressmen's constituents
in a Nationwide network of
broadcasts.
But Mr.. Smith, maintaining
a dollars and cents approach,
retorted:
Chided About Employees
"You oughtn't to be working
on those fellows. You ought to
be working on the Senate and
House Appropriations Commit
tees"
These congressional units
govern how much money the
District may spend each year
whether or not the funds come
from the Federal Government
or from the local taxpayers.
Representative Smith was
Joined by Congressman O'Hara,
Republican of Minnesota, in
criticizing the Commissioners
for the 26 per cent increase in
the number Of District EN-
ployes through the past five
years. This number jumped
from 1874 to $4,000 in that
time. Mr.. Smith pointed out.
This rise does not compare
at all with the static character
istics of the population in the
District" Mr.. O'Hara noted.
Mr.. Mclaughlin admitted
one Of the biggest problems
was stating the new buildings
and services of the growing mu-
nicipal government. These

HouseQuickIy
Passes Measure
For Housing
$l.8 Billion Bill
Is Rushed Through
In One Minute
BY the Associated Press

The House. without debate OF
q record vote, passed and sent
to President Eisenhower today
q $3.50, 100000 emergency
housing bill.
The bill whipped through the
House in one minute fiat.
The only voice raised on the
floor was that Of Representa-
tive Hoffman, Republican of
Michigan, who raised the par
liamentary point that a ma
jority Of the membership was
not present. But Mr.. Hoffman
did not press his point of or
der. He remarked that he
didn't know what was in the
bill anyway.
1t appeared that no more
than 100 members were on the
floor at the time.
There had been some advance
indications that opposition
might be raised to a provision
of the bill allowing the Presi-
dent to raise interest rates on
CT home loans from Az to 434
per cent.
Provision Extended
In addition to that provision,
the bill continues CT home loan
purchases for two years for
World War II veterans until
July Is, 1860.
1t also authorizes lower min
imum down payments for homes
purchased on Government-in-
sured FILA mortgages, and au-
thorizes new Federal outlays for
various housing programs.
Sponsors estimate it may
mean the construction this year
Of at least 200, 900 homes which
might otherwise not be built.
The House then turned to
two pump-priming resolutions.
The two resolutions, spon-
sored by House Democratic
Leader Mccormack of Mass
achusetts. declare it to be "the
sense Of Congress" that the
administration accelerate Fed
eral military and civil works
spending of funds already APP
propriated by Congress.
Already Through Senate
The Senate already has
similar resolutions by
almost unanimous vote. They
have no legal force.
But by Suspending the usual
rules of procedure, House lead
ers baked in advance any at
tempt to amend the housing
bill on the floor. The only vot-
ing alternatives were accept
ance or rejection.
Authority to boost the
veterans home mortgage rate
barely survived Democratic
opposition in the Senate when
Vice President Nixon broke a
tie vote to assure the higher
rate. The Eisenhower admin
istration has tried for The last
two years to get a higher in
terest ceiling, to lure more
private funds into veterans
home mortgages.

The projects would involve

aspects of urban renewal. pub
lie housing and rural electrifi-
cation.
JObless Pay at Issue
The presidential action was
announced as Mr.. Eisenhower
and his advisers wrestled with
proposals for curbing the bust
ness downturn in a round OF
White House conferences dur
ing the day.
A principal topic of discussion
at the meetings starting at 9
am. was the administrators
proposal for extending unem-
ployment compensation, for the
jobless who have exhausted or
will soon exhaust their benefits.
The President pointed his
days activities toward a meet
ing this afternoon with the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Gov
errors conference to discuss
his proposal for extending job
less benefits. In advance of the
meeting, it was reported the
President would propose loans
for three or four years without
interest to the States to extend
unemployment compensation.
This represents a switch from
the plan Mr.. Eisenhower re-
Gently suggested to Congress
for use of Federal funds to
extend benefits, perhaps for 10
additional weeks.
Byrd Fights Tax Cut
The conferences took place
as Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, threw his support be-
hind resistance to any immedi.
ate tax cut or make-work pro-
grams to counter the business
downturn. He said this move
could lead to a SIS billion Fed
erai deficit and that any large
scale printing would add fuel
to the imitation fire"
The President and admins
tration leaders in Congress
made it clear that any decision
on taX-cutting will be made
later. Senate Republican
Leader Knowland of California
said it might we'll be two
months before the administra-
ton reaches such a decision.
Projects Listed
Projects in the speedup in
spending directed by the Pres
ident included:
PUBLIC FACILITY LOANS
The President released SIS
million from a reserve in the
Budget Bureau for this pro-

of business and civic leaders
similar to the recent bipartisan
meeting in behalf of the for
|eign aid program may be
called.
Meantime, an alternative for
the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Acts that would give
Congress a greater voice in
trade control was advanced by
Representative Dorm. Demo-
crat Of South Carolina.
Mr.. Dorm introduced what he
called compromise legislation
that would shelve the multi
lateral trade principle of the
reciprocal program in favor Of
bilateral pacts. Thus. instead
of covering several countries
the agreements would be set ur
on a nation-by nation basis.
The present six-member tar
if commission would be re-
placed by a seven-member for
eign trade board whose men,
bers could be removed only by
Congress. Before the President
could negotiate a trade agree
ment,
The bill also would establish
criteria to guide the board in
deciding whether an agreement
would be beneficial and to list
types Of trade discrimination.
Mr.. Dorm voiced the hope his
proposal would win the backing
of those who don't like the
present program. He listed the
textiles, coal, Independent oil
pottery, plywood. chemical and
hardwood industries as being
interested in the alternative
plan.
