fund. should be switched into
the general fund.
This. Q city official said. could
meet the expected deficit. But
the committee itself noted that
the parking fund move would
require separate legislation.
As for budget cuts, the COM
mittee does not suggest where
the District might slice further
than the committee itself has
already done.
The deficit prospect under
the committee proposals, 1t was
learned, actually is more seri-
Gus than the congressional re-
port showed. Under a new rev.
enue estimate, the figure would
top 50 million. q budget Official

Not Entirely on Guard
District officials were moi
caught entirely OF guard by
the House units actions. A
chilly reception was given to
both oflicials and. citizens in
subcommittee hearings, pre-
sided over by Representative
Rabaut. Democrat Of Michigan
The budget Is still to be acted
on by the House. This Is ex-
pected shortly. Presumably the
District win have to pin major
hopes for changes on the
Senate.
spending cuts made by the
committee were not considered
especially drastic by city aides.
And they were Offset by some
additions.
One Of these. which was ex-
pected. was for a school lunch
program. The com mittee
switched $266.O00 from Other
parts Of the school budget 10
double the size of a $4,000
pilot elementary lunch plan
which had been proposed by
the Commissioners at the ufg-
ing Of Congress.
Future Expansion
The committee assigned ad-
nainistration of the lunch plan
to the Welfare Department and
the District Commissioners. 1t
invited further future expansion
OF this program.
The committee cut welfare
operating estimates $S06, 700
but switched this amount to
the public assistance program
to meet rising relief rolls.

duced the city's requested OPP

over S3S million. The new
year starts July /.
The city currently Is seeking
supplemental appropriation OF
about SIS million for the pres
ent year, mainly to cover re-
cent pay raises. This Is before q
separate House subcommittee
and has not yet been acted on
but the committee today said
1t took account Of the supple
mental request in fashionine
its recommendations for next
year.
! The Federal aid authorize
tons are handled by different
congressional com Mite S
however. The appropriations
units have not treated the au-
thorization as binding.
The Appropriations Commit
tee today. in setting the $25
million Federal payment figure,
referred to city estimates on
what tax exempt real estate
would produce In revenue II IL
were taxable.
The Federal Government, ac-
cording to the estimates, would
owe $22.24l.l25. Foreign EN-.
bassies and other foreign prop
critics would be liable for $434,-
496 and other Congress-ex-
empted properties would owe
$396.332. for a total Of slightly
over $23 million.
8 Per Cent Realty Tax Rise
This figure was raised to SOS
million by figuring in a 8 per
cent realty tax rise taking
effect in the District this year
City officials have contended
that other levies besides the
realty tax should be included
in the theoretical Federal LA
bility. Such a computation,
they have estimated, would ex-
ceen $57 million.
This argument, bolstered b.
a massive statistic studded re.
port, was presented to Con.
gress a few days ago in a plea
for more Federal financial
help. but the District commit.
tees rather than the appropri,
atoms committees heard thi.
plea.
/ The committee report today
said that Alexandria, Fairfax
Montgo merry and Primes
| Georges Counties all havt
budgeted realty tax rises.
/ The committee conceded
that these rises might not &C
tually occur. but it added:
1T does indicate an appar
ent willingness on the part O
responsible officials in sur.
rounding municipal jurisdic.

always compares ITSELF to pro.

I Why Not the Same?
II added it couldn't see VIII,
the District could not do the

increases to forestall a deficit,

Toadstool Or Mushroom? ?

Poisonous toadstool or edible
mushroom? Who can tell the diff
ference? Very few people know
when they find them in the field or
woods. So the general rule is
leave them to the experts, says
George Vapaa, the county agent.
You can rest easy with the mush-
rooms you buy at the store. They
have been carefully grown under
cultivated conditions, and the ag-
ent finds them a wonderful deli
cacy as do many others.
The warning on wild toadstools
comes as a result of an accident
in the Harrington area. Two small
children are believed to have swal-
lowed some wild toadstools while
playing back Of their home.
Only about twelve wild species
are known to be toxic in the coun-
try, but several of these are COM
mon in Delaware. These fungOus
plants are generally found in low
lands or wooded areas under nat
ural conditions. Children are like
ly to be curious about these odd
looking specimens, and parents
should caution them about the dan
gers. Small children should be care
fully supervised at play, especially
during warm spring days when
the plants first emerge.
First aid measures demand visit
to the family physician. An attempt
should be made to induce vomit-
ing as quickly as possible. Some
species can cause death in 500 of
the cases, so speedy treatment is
essential, concludes the agent.

New AUtomotive Safety Features
Also Contain BUi|t-In Hazards

Take the larger rear windows
on the newer cars. They give driv-
ers a potentially great field of
rear vision, while sweeping tall
fins tend to obscure rear vision
in backing.
Or the new wrap-around wind
shields. They give the driver a
clearer view ahead as we'll as great
err sideview. Yet Sin bad weather
the wipers fail to clean the end
and central area of such wind
shields, causing blind spots just
when maximum vision is needed.
Or take the ornamental front
and rear ends. The bureaus report
says these are largely non-func-
tional and needless hazards to
pedestrians.
How about the lower-sIung fea-
lures of new autos? The bureau
agrees this means improved stabil-
ity and riding quality on curves.
But it also means poorer vision be- .
cause the driver is sitting lower and
less effective brakes because small
err wheels cut the flow of cooling
air around brake drums.
The bureau commended the in
dustry for developing dual head
lamps and brighter tail lights but
warned that some tail lights can't
readily be seen over a rise in the
highway.
Nine out of 10 accidents are the
fault of the driver, not the car or
the road, the bureau said.
