SEND A KID TO CAMP
Recreation Is I heir
Key to the Future

Some say it's impossible TO
raise eight children on $50
a week.
Yet Mr.. and Mrs. Jones are
doing Just that, and their child
rem are a credit to the COM
munity.
The $50 laborer's pay goes
so far and no further; 1t buys
shelter and almost enough food.
There is nothing left over.
The Jones family, however,
has a kind of impersonal fairy
godmother-camp.
Camp has given the children
a chance to show what they
can become; none has failed
to pass the test.
An older boy is going to col
lege on an athletic scholar
ship. His athletic career began
lin camp. Another was an award
winner as the best swimmer
in his cabin. He learned to
swim at camp.
This year John, 10. Jane,
12, and Martha, IL, are eligible.
All have been to camp before.
and all have carried on the
family tradition. Their coun-
selors found them "co-opera-
tive" adept" popular"
There will be little recrea-
ton for the children at home.
The family doesn't have a car,
and there is no pool nearby.
Their names have been
changed. but their story is a
true one.
II there is to be no camp
for them this year, the child
rem will make the best Of It..
Their parents have taught
them to do just that from in
fancy.
But your contribution to The
Evening Star Summer Camp
Fund can guarantee summer
adventure to three children
who accept privation when they
must, but also know how to
make the most Of fun.

House Okoys
PoIice-Fire
Retiree Bill

Seven bills, including one all
most sure to require a District
tax increase, were shouted
through the House yesterday in
less than 10 minutes.
The House passed legislation
granting full retirement bene-
fits to police and firemen who
left District service before 1856.
Representative Auchincloss,
Republican of New Jersey,
warned the bill would "un-
doubtedly lead to added Dis
Itrict taxes He tried unsuccess-
fully TO amend the bill so bene-
ats would go only to the widows
and children Of officer benefic-
iaries.
He acted in response to
wishes Of District Commits
sioners, who protested they
have no money to pay 1860 re-
tirement costs Of Sl.3 million
for the men. $lS9, 900 for the
widows and $4,000 for the
children.
These costs will have dropped
40 per cent by 1870. according
to actuarial tables considering
life expectancy Of the benefic-
iaries.
House District Committee
Chairman Mcmillan, Democrat
of South Carolina. said he saw
no reason for discriminating
against police and firemen who
had m a de contributions
through the years. The bill,
which now goes TO the Senate.
would put these men on a par
with officers whose retirement
pay was fixed by a 1857 law. {
The House also passed and
sent to the White House legis-
lation to incorporate the Ladies
Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public. and to allow city officials
to serve tax and assessment no.
tees by registered mail.
Cleared and forwarded to the
Senate were three other bills.
One would extend until 1861
Federal funding up to So mil
lion for the Southeast WASH
ington Hospital, another would
exempt IS presidential APP
pointees from District income
taxes and the third would grant
retirement benefits to Charles
Benter. police band director.

InteriorCuts
Dash Hope
For Purkwuy

Congress has dashed WASH
ington area hopes for Federal
funding for the George Wash
lington Memorial parkway in
Prince Georges County this ses-
sion.
The parkway item has been
cut from both Senate and
House-passed Interior Depart.
ment budgets for the year Be-.
ginning July /.
Conferees are due to start
work this week to settle DIFF
ferences in Senate and House
versions. But they are barred
from inserting money items re-
jected by both houses.
The death blow was dealt
yesterday by the Senate in re.
jecting an attempt of Senator
Beall, Republican of Mary
land. to win 100000 for the
parkway.
Originally, the National
Capital Planning Commission
asked for 81 million. to be
matched by the county.
Senator Beall charged that
Congress was preaching its
commitments Of 1890 author
izing parkway construction to
be financed Jointly by the Fed
eral Government and the COM,
munities through which the
scenic roadway would pass. But
he was opposed on the floor by.
Senate Appropriation Commit
tee Chairman Hayden, who
fought for the 81 million in
committee, and Senator Dwor-
shak, Republican Of Idaho.
They claimed that the Indian
Head highway and the new
recreational possibilities Of the
river shore. without the park
way, in effect, negated the OBJ
legation of Congress.
AS cleared by the Senate,
the $478,7 million budget al
lowed $650.000 for land acqui-
sition at Gettysburg and Ma
nassas battleflelds. No funds
we're to be used to acquire the
Gettysburg tract known as the
Adams County Poor Farm.

Il would love to see the Sec
rotary say he would double the

added.
Surprise opposition came
from Representative Freling-
huysen, Republican of New

ment with Mr.. Thompson, said
Congress seemed to have dis
carded the theory that Federal
aid to impacted areas was aid
in lieu of taxes local commune
ties could not collect on Fed

1--WE have come around to
the idea that a Federal obli-
CATION is attached to every
child whether or not there is
an unfavorable impact from
Federal operations in their
school districts" Mr.. Freling-
huysen said. He usually is a
supporter Of administration
proposals.
/ "A dollar sign is attached to
every child" he continued.
That is our problem. For lack

we continue to increase Federal
aid, and 1t is difiicult to say
Let's shrink If we know the
money we have spent is for q

Representative Udall. Demo-
crat of Arizona, stressed that
the Washington area is highly
abnormal" The fact is that
the Federal Government has
robbed the surrounding area OF

Mr.. Flemming contended,
however, that nearby counties

Instead assistance for oper-
