BALTIMORE, Sept. Q (AP)
"A Baltimore County grand

that a public semi-annual

1t also recommended that the
State Department of Correction
assume control Of Patuxent's
physical property and its Gus

Although it is technically under
control Of the department, the
institution now occupies a
rather autonomous status in
the State penal system.
The Howard County jury rec

The jury also suggested in
creases in the custodial and

Works Bill
Vote Dures
Veto Again
By the Annotated Pres.

Inviting a repeat veto, Con-
gress has sent President Ell
senhower another big public
works money bill containing
the same projects which led to
the veto of an earlier measure.
Both Senate and House pas
sage Of the new $l.l85. 309. 093
appropriation were with mar
gins far above the two-thirds
necessary to pass legislation
over q veto. The Senate vote
was 1915, the House 302-o3.
The House last Wednesday
upheld the first veto by one
vote.
Senator Dirksen, Republican
of Illinois. Senate Republican
leader, said before yesterdays
vote the measure may be
vetoed as its predecessor was.
But he did not say whether
the President had threatened
another veto.
All projects in the new bill
were cut 21a per cent. bringing
the total to $97.l66 below Mr..
Eisenhower's requests.
The bill provides money for
several hundred river and har-
Dor, floor control and reclama-
ton projects-including 81 to
which the President objected.
These projects, with an ulti-
mate cost Of almost $500 mil
lion, were not budgeted by the
administration.
Senator Dirksen said the re-
duction Of the expenditures in
the bill doesn't quite take the
curse of of it" as far as the
administration is concerned.
Senator Dirksen vas reported
later to have proposed that the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee compromise with the White
House by authorizing the Presi-
dent to stagger the start Of the

The
Rambler
..... Enjoys
Haircut and Shave
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

After an unusual expe-
rience, Charlie Passero is
back in his barber shop In
washington's Little Wall
Street" His shop is at Sl4
Fifteenth street NV. in the
RFC building.
1t was not his first unusual
experience.
His first was in 1901 when
he was s and his mother took
him by the hand and, with
two other children, went
from a small farm on the
Apprentices to Naples. There
they boarded the S. S. Civeta
Turino on March Is. 1t
arrived in New York on
April IA.
The husband and father Of
this family was already in
Washington, selling produce
in the Southeast Market. He
had sent back the money for
their passage.
Five subsequent Passeros
were born American citizens.
This story now jumps So
years. Charlie is Ct years old.
He Is not tall. He Is 5-foot-4
in his shoes. He is a solid
man, 1875 pounds. He has a
broad, bald brow on a neck
as wide as his jaw.
Here is a head that is to be
found among the buStS Of
the Caesars. Not the narrow
domed Julius. Charles head
is more like Augustus or
Marcus Aurelius or perhaps
some stalwart successor.

break Of violence in the Nations
Capital.
Il really wish we could re-
cruit $50 more officers now"
he said. II hope that next
year the District budget will
carry a 500-man increase in
the force"
Asks More Judges
At the same time. he urged
House action on a Senate

to the one-man District Juve-
nile Court bench. He said re-
cent attacks on Mrs. Donald
Quarles, wife Of the former

crat Of Michigan and Repre-
sentative Thompson, Democrat
Of New Jersey, dramatized the
dire need of city residents for
more protection.
Probably a lot Of unreported
incidents in the Capital never
have been so publicized, he
warned the Senate.
Congressional clearance Of
grants for the new police con-
tingent would allow Chief Rob-
ert v. Murray to start recruit
ment this month. He hopes to
have the men in uniform by
January. Under present law.
he can put the equivalent of
100 more men on the street by
putting present officers to work
on a six-day week.
Commissioners plan to ask
Congress next January for $2.5
million to increase the force
by 500 men.

LATE IN JULY Charlie
went back to Italy-Pan Am
to Paris and rail to Rome
and Naples.

was so long ago that I left.
No one would remember me.
But my wife insisted.

Naples who said he would
drive me in his car for four
days for $40, / decided to go
back to Orria CilentO, the
little village in the Ape
mines where I was born.
1T took us three hours
over difficult mountain roads
to get to the village. There I
asked a stone mason build
ing q house where I could
find Antonio Passero. That
was one of my cousins, the
head of the family, u
years old.
They said he would be
out on one Of his farms; he
has five farms of about 10
acres each-olives, figs, a
little wheat and grapes.
But he was at home. My
arrival was a great surprise
to him-totally unexpected.
He kissed my cheeks. That's
the way they do over there.
Il had no trouble with the
language. I had had no fears
about that. My wife and I
speak English at home, but
they understood me and I
understood them. If I have
an American accent-and I
must after So years in this
country-no one made fun
of it.
But I caught it about
coming up with a rented car
and driver. My cousin said he
had a nephew who had a
car; that would be my cousin
once removed. Why hadn't I
let them know? He would
have sent the nephew to
Naples and saved me all that
money.
II was told one thing that
made me very proud. I have

today.
Before the morning was over.
the youngsters In Mrs. Louise
Shugar's class were starting to
tackle the alphabet and-as the
teacher put it-"learning all
about flrst-grade work by hav-
ing a lot of thinking games"
The introductions and the
start of school work were re-
peated at all grade levels in all
District schools this morning
as $4,000 students returned to
classes.
Everything must have gone
smoothly-for If any bitches
had developed. they would have
done so at Hendley.
New Building for All
The building was a new one
for all $40 children who en-
rolled-many of them trans

Schools-and only six of the 20
teachers had ever taught be-
fore in the District.
Well before the starting time
OF 9 am. parents and children
began arriving at the play
ground Of the school, at Sixth
and Chesapeake streets Sc.
Parents lined up children for
each classroom; then the teach
ers led the way inside.
Within minutes. parents were
politely asked to leave so work
could start.

this?" Mrs. Shugar asked her
