Final congressional action on
the Districts supplemental
spending and revenue requests
today left the city with a lin
tied employe layon problem
and an estimated SIS million
deficit.
Congress yesterday set the
supplemental spending ceilings
for the current fiscal year at
$l4,630.617 and the Federal
payment at IS million.
City officials said this action,
rejecting cuts in both SPEND
ing and revenue. win mean:
/. Loss Of three days pay
for 500 Of the 1900 employees
Of the National Capital Parks.
2. An estimated $1.57e, 306
deficit at the close Of the fiscal
year on June 80.
8. Possible furloughing Of
Health Department workers
and an impact on operations
in other departments.
Below Senate Figure
The $14.6 million figure is
about 100000 higher than the
amount voted by the House but
some $215.0O0 less than the
Senate originally had APP
proved. The House had cut
SIS million from the city's
original request but the Senate
had approved pleas by the Dis
trict for partial restoration to
prevent employee layoffs and
public service reductions.
The SIS million Federal pay
ment is the same amount voted
by the House but is $3.1 million
less than the Senate-approved
figure. The city had asked for
50 million to be added to the
$50 million already granted for
the current fiscal period.
The supplemental bill mainly
covered pay raises which Con-
gress authorized but did not
appropriate for last year.

Health Burroughs Studied
In the Health Department,
where the Senate-approved
spending figure was cut sl27.-
225, officials said no final de-
cision has been made on
whether employee furloughs will
be needed. If the heavier House
reduction had been approved,
about 5000 department en-
ployes were to be laid OF for
three days each beginning next
week. These scheduled FUR
1oughs will be postponed for
further study of the financial
picture.
City officials said it is certain
that yesterdays approved in

figure, along with an austerity
program being carried on
within the department, will
mean at least a reduction in
the planned three day layoffs.

last January would force West
Germany to sever its ties with
the Western powers.
The United States, Britain
and France months ago re-
jected this whole approach TO
the problem of a German peace
settlement.
No Substantial Changes
Western informants said
after a quick examination of
the version presented by Mr..
Gromyko at today's conference
session that it apparently con-
tanned no substantial changes.
The session lasted two hours
and seven minutes.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev said in a speech in
Russia yesterday that peace
must be made with the two
actually existing German
states" The Soviet plan is
completely at loggerheads with
the Western package proposal,
introduced here yesterday,
which calls for a peace treaty
with a unified Germany.
Mr.. Gromyko was reported
to have made some preliminary
comments on the Western plan
today.
Wall of Red Opposition
The package plan ran into a
wall Of Soviet opposition.
The plan calls for gradual re.
unification of Germany and a
start toward a European Sc
curity system. 1t would start
by uniting East and West Ber-
lin. But Mr.. Khrushchev insists
that West Berlin alone be
turned into what he calls a free
city.
Mr.. Gromyko asked to lead
off the debate in this after
Moons session. He met Selwyn
Lloyd and Christian A. Herter,
the British and American for
sign ministers, at a dinner party
last night. Informants said

The significance of this development is
pointed up by the fact it represents only
the second major breakthrough in scientific
observation of the eye.
Until 1851, nothing was known about
an eye except what could be seen with
another eye.
In that year, however, a German pro-
lessor named Hermann Won Helmholtz
raised the lid on a whole new optic world.
In trying to show his biology class why
cats eyes CLEAN green at night, he invented
what became known as the ophthalmoScope
hand-held instrument familiar to
anyone who has had a medical eye exami-
nation, the ophthalmoscope gave scientists
their first view of the interior of the living
sighted eye. And for a century, it provided
the only view.
Artists using it were able to make
drawings of the eye. And retinal cameras,
which grew out of it, were used to make
photographs. CONTINUED

approached. The sun peeped out
from behind the clouds. Tibet
ans called this q good omen.
The Dalai Lama pressed his
palms together and raised them
overhead in q beaming response
to the lusty welcome.
The jeep caravan, which had
been sent out by the Indian
government to meet the Dalai
Lama and his party of 80,
wound through the streets Ia
the Tezpur district house, q
public building.
The mayor Of Tezpur pre-
sented the Dalai Lama a white
scarf, the traditional Buddhist
greeting. The women Of the
city presented a similar token
to his 57-year-old mother and
a sister.
The Dalai Lama spoke for
only a minute. He said simply
he had been forced to leave
Tibet because the Chinese Com
munists were harming religious
institutions.
The Dalai Lama stood under
a conical shade of bamboo as
his spokesman read the 1000
word statement. The. Dalai
Lama posed happily for photog-

nicians who tinkered with the
microphone set before the

cally prevented the Dalai Lama
from attending the function.
Thereafter the people them
selves decided to raise a body
guard for the protection Of the
Dalai Lama. Large crowds of
Tibetans went about the streets
of Lhasa demonstrating against
the Chinese rule in Tibet.
Negotiations Carried On
Two days later thousands Of
Tibetan women held demon
strations against Chinese au-
thority. In spite of this DEM
onstration from the people, the
Dalai Lama and his govern
ment endeavored to maintain
friendly relations with the Chi
nese and tried to carry out ne
gotiations with the Chinese
representatives as to how best
to bring about peace in Tibet
and assuage the peoples anx-
iety.
While these negotiations were
being carried out, reinforce
ments arrived to strengthen the
Chinese garrison in Lhasa and
Tibet.
On March II two or three
mortar shells were fired in the
direction of the Norbulingka
Palace. Fortunately the shells
| fell in a nearby pond.
After this the advisers be-
came alive to the danger to
/ the person of the Dalai Lama,
and in those difficult circum-
stances it became imperative
for the Dalai Lama. the mem
bers of his family and his high
officials to leave Lhasa.
The Dalai Lama would like
to state categorically that he
left Lhasa and Tibet and came
to India of his own will and
not under duress.
HimaIayan Route Told
1t was due to the loyalty and
affectionate support of his peo-
pie that the Dalai Lama was
able to find his way through a
route which is quite arduous.
The route which the Dalai
Lama took involved crossing
the Kyichu and the Tsangpo
Rivers and making his way
Through the Lhoka area, Var
lung valley and Tsona Dong
before reaching the Indian
frontier at Kanzey Name near
Chuthangmu.
On March 80, 1859, the Dalai
Lama sent two emissaries

der requesting the government
of midas permission to enter

Touched BY Greetings
The Dalai Lama is deeply
touched by the kind greetings
extended TO him on his safe
arrival In India by the prime
minister, Shri Jawaharlal
Nehru, and his colleagues in the
Government Of India. The
Dalai Lama has already sent
a reply to this message OF
greetings.
Ever since the Dalai Lama
entered India at Kanzey Name,
near Chuthangmu, he has ex-
perienced in full measure the
respect and hospitality ex-
tended to him by the people
of the Kameng frontier divi-
sion Of the Northeast Frontier
Agency, and the Dalai Lama
would like to state how the
Government Of midas officers
posted there had spared no eff
forts in making his stay and
journey through this extremely
well administered part o.
India as comfortable as pos
sible.
The Dalai Lama will now be
proceeding to Mussorrie, which
he hopes to reach in the next
few days.
The Dalai Lama will give
thoughts to his future plans
and if necessary give expression
to them as soon as he has hac
a chance to rest and reflect or
recent events.
His country and people have
passed through an extremely
difficult period, and all that the
Dalai Lama wishes to say at the
moment is to express his sim
cere regrets at the tragedy
which has overtaken Tibet and
to fervently hope that these
troubles will soon be over with
out any more bloodshed.
AS the Dalai Lama and the
spiritual head Of all the Bud
dhists in Tibet, his foremost
concern is the wellbeing of hi
people and in insuring the per-
petual fiourishing of his sacred
religion and the freedom of hii
country.
While expressing once agar
thankfulness at his safe arriva
in India, the Dalai Lama WoulC
like to take this opportunity tt
communicate to all his friends
wellwishers and devotees in In
dia and abroad his sincere
gratitude for the many mes
sages of sympathy and concern
with which they have flooded
him.
