Continued From First Page
chairman Of the regular Dis
trict appropriations unit had
planned q meeting with civic
leaders on the fund crisis.
Read Of Meeting
Mr.. Rabaut informed news
men that the first he knew Of
any such meeting was when he
read 1t in a morning newspaper.
A little later. however. q
group Of civic leaders did show
up and told the Michigan Leg
islator that they had been to
Mr.. McCormack's ONCE and
that there apparently had been
q misunderstanding.
The civic spokesman urged
Mr.. Rabaut to help head OF the
threatened furlough. The Con-
gress member did not make
any fiat commitment. But he
repeated q statement he made
Saturday-that he did not
think his subcommittee would
have treated the subject in the
same way as the Thomas unit.
He added:
AFTER what the other COM
mittee did, I told the papers I
thought perhaps the Rabaut
subcommittee smells like the
roses that bloom in the spring,
ira la"
Thanks Expressed
The civic group then ex-
pressed its thanks to Mr.. Ra-
baut for whatever he could do.
Mr.. Rabaut said that it was
up to the whole House to be
convinced tomorrow as to what
remedial action, II any. is
justified. He suggested that
the group ought to visit Mr..
Thomas and the other mem.
bers Of the Texans subcommit-
tee.
Among those who were in
group we're leaders Of the Dis
trict Education Association, q
teachers organization: the
District Congress Of Parents
and Teachers, the National
Education Association, the Fed
Grafton Of Civic Associations
and others.
The So million restoration
regarded as q minimum need
by city leaders would just about
correct q differential between
District cuts and cuts for Fed
eral agencies in the pending
bill. The city's departments
were all cut Is per cent on pay
raise funds intended to support
q payroll increase voted by
Congress last summer.
U. s. Cut Only 10 Pet.
The Federal cuts in the pay
raise money were only 10 per
cent, city officials said. They
said they were unable to under
stand why the District had been
treated so much more drastical-
ly in this regard.
Mr.. Rabaut during his session
with the civic spokesman noted
that the Districts part Of the
pending supplemental bill is
only a very small section.
But this is a section that
affects many people nearby"
he remarked.
The Rabaut unit 10 days ago
recommended stable cutbacks
in District spending estimates
for the new fiscal year starting
July !. But it also approved
q SIS million Federal payment
for the upcoming fiscal year,
which is S. million more than
Congress has granted in the
past. Mr.. Rabaut and other
leaders called this a break
through for the city even
though 1t was less than Con-
gress theoretically had author
lied. The city wanted $32 mil
lion, which was set as q new
ceiling last year.
The Michigan legisls tors
reference to the flowers bloom
ing in the spring stemmed
from criticism which had been
leveled at his group after the
cuts. City officials said the
Thomas units slash was far
more serious than any previous
congressional action Of the
sort that anyone could re-
