Budget Bureau
Must Act Fast
On Estimate
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Stan Writer

The District Commissioners
have asked the Bureau of the
Budget for a supplemental ap-
preparation to hire civilian
workers for enforcement of
parking regulations.
City officials, along with
Budget Bureau officers, de-
clined to say what amount is
being asked for the program.
However. it had been estimated
earlier that it would cost $104,-
900 a year to hire 16 civilians
to hand out parking tickets.
The Commissioners last
March approved the plan in
principle. Administrative and
budgetary details were to be
worked out later.
No Arrest Power
Under the program, civilians
would write curb violation tick
cts, but would have no police
arrest powers.
At the March meeting, Com
missioner Robert E. McLaugh-
lin said the police force would
not be reduced in shifting the
parking-violation duties to
civilian workers.
In a report from the Dis
trict'S Department Of General
Administration, the 100000
figure was given as the annual
cost for maintaining the pres
ent 16-man traffic violation
coverage by motorcycle men.
This amount now comes from
the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency.
Prompt Action Needed
Ofiicials today pointed out
that if the Bureau of the
Budget approves the supple
mental request the action will
have to be taken promptly in
order to reach Congress in time
for inclusion in the Federal
supplemental request pending
for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
If immediate action is not
takne, officials said, the Com
miSsioners' supplemental plea
probably will not get to Con-
gress until next January.
With civilians taking over
the enforcement Of curb park
ing regulations. city officials
hope to free some policemen for
enforcement of laws against
more serious crimes.

Representative Buckley, Dem
ocrat of New York, today made
public a letter to the House
Ways and Means Committee
opposing a Federal gasoline tax
increase but strongly backing
temporary waving of a pay-as-
you-go requirement as a means
of meeting a financial crisis in
the Federal highway program.
The letter brought from
Representative Mills. Democrat
of Arkansas, Ways and Means
Committee chairman, a firm in
dorsement of the no-tax-in-
crease stand. Mr.. Mills refused
to commit himself, however, on
the pay-as-you-go question.
Deficit Impends
Mr.. Buckley heads the House
Public Works Committee, which
drafted the multi-billion inter-
State highway construction
program. This faces a deficit
jeopardizing imminent alloca-
tions of funds to States and the
District for highway construc-
ton in the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1860.
The allocations are sched-
uled to be made next month
or in August, but the Bureau
of Public Roads has said 1t
cannot be made without boil
stering the trust fund financed
from the gasoline tax.
The administration is urg-
ing a 11a-cent increase in the
tax. But House Speaker Ray
burn and Mr.. Mills are both
on record in firm opposition
to such a move this year.
Mr.. Rayburn told reporters
yesterday that there would be
no gas tax increase this year
The Speaker did not commit
himself on a pending bill spon-
sored by Representative Fallon,
Democrat of Maryland. which

would meet the fund crisis by
allowing the highway trust
fund to be supplemented with
general funds from the Treas
ury.
The administration is oppos-
ing the Fallon move.
Bar to Borrowing
Mr.. Buckley's letter to Rep
resentative Mills sharply criti-
cized President Eisenhower's
support of a gas tax increase
The Public Works Committee
| leader said the Presidents
stand completely overlooks the
basic framework that was es-
tablished for the long term f.
nancing of the Nations ex-
panded highway program"
1t had been intended that
deficiencies in the trust fund
in the next several years would
be met by borrowing. to be re-
paid later from increasing gas
oline tax collections, Mr.. Buck
ley said. This was barred at
least temporarily by an amend
ment by Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat of Virginia, TO the 1856
Highway Act which required
pay-as-you-go financing.
The Byrd amendment was
suspended temporarily, and the
Fallon bill would continue this
suspension. Mr.. Buckley sup
ported this approach, adding
that he would like to see the
Byrd provision repealed en-
tirely.
The public works chairman
expressly disagreed with q
statement he said White House
Press Secretary James Hagerty
was quoted as making several
days ago to the effect that the
President believes the proposed
gas tax increase "is Of pri-
mary concern to every motorlst
in the country"

A little investigation showed
that Lance also was washing

WHEN THE TERM
'SHREW' was first applied to
persons in our language, and
that was long before Shake
speare, 1t meant an evil
person, a poisonous man.
Funny thing is that the
shrew found in England Is
able to produce only a mildly
toxic saliva, while our short
tail shrew is definitely poi
Sonous. He has a poison
gland under his tongue. He
uses it to temporarily stun
earthworms and other in
sects so they win not get
away from him.
"Only two other mammals
produce poison. They are
both very primitive, egg
laying mammals of the
Southern Hemisphere, sub
marSupials. They are the
echnida and the duck-billed
platypus.
LAS our language pro-
gressed, the term 'shrewish'
became definitely feminine.
Chaucer's merchant in the
Canterbury Tales calls a
certain woman a lobbying
shrew,' which must have
been a very bad term, indeed.
when Shakespeare en-
titled his comedy The Tam
ing of the Shrew,' that
cinched it. Since then, the
human shrew has been the
nagging wife.
Il acquired a secondary
interest in shrews when I
was working on my doctorate
thesis at Cornell. 1t was on
field mice.
"In June, 1857, I left this
country on a National Re-
search Council fellowship on
a study called PIRATE. That
stands for Pacific Islands Rat
(the rat is spelled out) Ecol-
ogy. The last is a biological
term. 1t means the study of
the relationships of organ
iSmS and their environment.
"The study was made on
Ponape in the Carolines, an
island on which there are no
shrews, but going and COM
ing I had a month altogether
on Guam, where there are
very interesting shrews,
much larger than ours. They
sometimes kill and devour
baby chicks.
"Ours eat only insects.
They are all about US, wher-
ever there is a cover of
leaves, vines and underbush.
They might be in there,
though that's a rather small
space in which to find them" !"

Yesterday the r a m bier
stopped in while DR.. Kyle r.

ogist, was giving an illus
trated talk on "The Status
of the House Shrew, Suncus
murinuS, on Guam"
1t was very interesting, but
to this layman it left a lot of
unanswered questions.
After the lecture, DR..
Barbehenn (he's 30) stepped
outside for a cigarette and
answered them.
$50 your high school Eng
lish teacher told you a shrew
is a female mouse. That's un-
derstandable. But the shrew
is not a mouse. He's an in
sectivore and his only rela-
tive on this continent is the
mole. He's the smaller of the
mammals; weighs only an
ounce.

A Holmes county land mark has
been torn down to make room for
progress.
In years gone by the Love Wag-
on Co. and Durant were synony-
nous, but last week, the old brick
buildings adjacent to the future
home of Durant Sportswear. Inc.
on front street, felt the death blow
by wrecking crews, and signs of
the Love Wagon Co., once the last
word in the Wagon Industry all
over the world, have vanished.
A used brick dealer, Mr.. A. R..
Henry of Jackson had his wreck
ing crews in Durant last week
and work was progressing on
the tearing down of the old land
mark. Ray Morris, foreman on the
job, said the brick will be shipped
to Baton Rouge, La. and will be
used to build building there
Several antiques such as an in
voice dated 1847 and four old log
wagon wheels were uncovered dur
ing the wrecking of the building.
Some say the main building where
Mr.. Love headed the thriving bus
mess for years was nearly a CEN
tury old.

Marcus Love for eleven years
building Wagons, was on hand to
watch the land mark disappear, as
