BILE charge for transfers.
o. Roy Chalk, transit preSi-
dent, announced after a meet
ing with the District Public

gency precautions at two other
danger spots as a result of the
tragedy last Friday, when a
lion seized and killed a child.
At a hastily called informal
hearing by the House District
Committee, Assistant Zoo Di-
rector j. Lear Grimmer said a
keeper and a policeman are
alternating at keeping a con-
slant watch over the snow
leopard cage.
Mr.. Grimmer said the area
could be dangerous in the
same manner" as the lions
cages. which are now protected
by wire meshed across the pub
lie barrier in front of the cages.
He said wire mesh will be
installed at the leopard cage

cause children may climb the

Douglas Asks
New Benefits
For Job|ess
Is Weeks Extra
Pay Sought TO
Augment Program
BY ]. A. OLEARY
star stan Writer

Senator Douglas, Democrat Of
Illinois, drew Up today q new
emergency unemployment COM
pensation bill that would re-
quire a mandatory extension Of
benefit payments for Is weeks
TO idle workers who have ex-
hausted their benefits under
State law.
He made the announcement
as the Senate Finance Com
mittee went into closed ses-
sion this morning to act on
the House-approved bill, which
would authorize an advance Of
Federal funds only to those
States which ask for 1t. Under
the House bill the extension
would be for so per cent Of
the number Of weeks allowed
by State law.
The committee debated the
Douglas substitute for two hours
and then put on a vote until
tomorrow.
Senator Douglas also pro-
posed adding Federal relief
payments of $50 per month TO
jobless persons not entitled to
unemployment compensation.
His amendment would also give
$50 per month to each depend
ent of an idle worker outside
of the compensation system.
but with limitation on the
number of children who could
be counted.
Since most of the States
have a maximum of rs weeks
annually, the House bill in
most cases would authorize Is
additional weeks, provided
State officials request Federal
aid.
Would Affect Payroll Tax
If a State takes advantage of
the House bill, the employers
in that State would pay a
higher payroll tax four years
from now to repay the Federal
money.
Senator Douglas also would
require repayment to the Fed
eral Government, but since his
bill is mandatory on all Of the
States, the higher tax would
apply uniformly to all employ
ees in industries covered by
the Unemployment Compen-
sation Act.

Democrats their greatest hopes
for defeating the Republicans
In the last IL years.
Mayor D'Alesandro won a
clear majority of the unit votes
which determine the nomina-
ton. He walked off with SO
votes. leaving only A for his
closest opponent, George p. Ma
honey and Is for James Bruce.
This decisive margin. coupled
with the friendliness of Mr..
Mahoney's statement conceding
defeat, led the harmony ticket
to predict a united party front
in November.
The bitterness of primaries
since 1850 has left the party
so badly split that, despite
registration margins Of more
than two-to-one, the party has
lost to the Republicans in two
gubernatorial and three sena-
torial races.
Future in Question
Mr.. Mahoney's political fu-
ture is the big question. He :
had been confident of victory
this year, despite the lack Of
organization support through
out the State.
Unofficial returns from 1888
Of the States 1887 precincts
gave Mr.. D'Alesandro l24,500
to 118,957 for Mr.. Mahoney.
57208 for James Bruce and
1854 for Clarence D. Long.
The other three aspirants got
less than 5000 each.
Mr.. D'Alesandro even won
more county unit votes than
did Mr.. Mahoney although the
latter edged him 74.l61 to
IS, $50 in the popular vote OUT
side Baltimore.
Mr.. D'Alesandro's weakness
in the counties may prove fatal
in November when he is up
against Senator J. Glenn Beall.
who is popular in the rural
areas.
In conceding defeat at ll:4S
pm, Mr.. Mahoney said:
81 congratulate him and ex-
tend my best wishes to him and
all Democratic candidates for
success in the general election"
One man who made it clear
he was not leaving the political
scene despite the drubbing he
took was Mr.. Long. a Johns
Hopkins University professor.
To Run Again
He said he intended to run
for Office again and considered
this campaign as only part Of
his education"

SIS Billion Aid
The measure introduced re-
Gently by representative
Thompson, Democrat Of New
Jersey, would provide SIS bill
lion in Federal aid to States
for school construction. The
proposal is similar to the pro-
gram recommended last year
by President Eisenhower. In
his annual message to Con-
gress this year. Mr.. Eisenhower
did not renew that recommen-
dalton. but suggested that pri-
ority be given to a program of
scholarships and other aids to
education.
The House committee met
this morning to discuss the
Thompson bill as reported out
April 80 by a subcommittee.
Democratic members urged that
the full committee Immediately
send the bill to the House so
that it could be acted on before
Congress adjourns.
Representative Frelinghuy-
sen, Republican of New Jersey,
and several other Republican
members protested that the
subcommittee had acted too
hastily in reporting out the
Thompson bill without ade-
quate hearings. They also
wanted the committee to con-
slider first the scholarship bill
which another subcommittee
approved late yesterday.
Action Unlikely
Representative Wainwright,
Republican of New York, moved
that the committee consider the
scholarship bill before the
school construction aid bill. He
withdrew that motion when Mr..
Frelinghuysen moved to re-
commit the school construction
bill with the understanding
that the subcommittee would
report it back not later than
June 5. Both the recommittal
motion and a motion by Rep
resentative Metcalf. Democrat
of Montana, to approve the
construction aid bill resulted
in 1915 tie votes and thus
were defeated. Committee
Chairman Barden. Democrat of
North Carolina, voted with the
Republicans.
Still another tie vote, 1910,
defeated a Democratic move to
adjourn the committee session.
A few moments later, however,
Chairman Barden banged his
gavel and declared the meeting
adjourned because the House
was then in session. He said
the school construction aid bill
technically was still before the
full committee and could be re-
considered later.
Other members declared that
they saw little or no possibility
that the bill would be brought
up again this year.
