is described as Americas big

when World War II ended.
He is from Philadelphia,
had a job here with the
United States Chamber of
Commerce, attended George
Washington University, had
a year of law there, went to
England and attended Ok
ford.
His hobby was collecting
guns. Somehow or other,
when it became known that
Germany was to be allowed
to rearm, he thought they
might like to purchase Ger
man weapons. He bought a
large quantity of them in
Holland. He was right.
That was his first big deal.
1t all started with his
grand tour of the continent
in 1913 while a student at
oxford under the CT bill of
rights. He had made his
sergeant'S stripes as an in
fantry instructor at the end
of the war.
The grand tour" was a
vacation in a little English
car. Wherever he went, Bel
GUM, France, Italy, he asked
about guns. He saw tons of
guns begging for a buyer,
When he returned to this
country in october he in
tereSted some men in the
business in sending him back
to buy ON commission. He
started Interarmco six years
ago.

Qualification Outlined

"Since the teachers and prin-
cipals are in close contact with
the children" he said, 1.-The
selection of the pupils to receive
free lunches should be left
wholly in the hands of these
school officials"
Children who could qualify
would be those:
/. From families on public
assistance.
2. From large families on low
incomes.
3. Certified as being under
nourished or suffering from
malnutrition by a physician OF
school nurse.
But Schuyler Lowe, the city's
director of general administra-
ton, saw in the controls a
chance for far more than 1000
children apply g for free
lunches. He indicated the prob
lem of hungry children be-
longed in the Welfare Depart
ment, although the mechanics"
of providing free lunches would
obviously take place in the
schools.
1t was his idea that the Dis
trict should start a pilot project
for some children-but a tight
ly controlled program coupled
with an effort to find out why
some families fail to provide
some form of a lunch for their
children. He estimated such
a project would cost $4,000.
Meanwhile, Gerard M. Shea,
welfare director, gave the Com
missioners his plan for feeding
the children two cheese sand
witches each school day at a
cost of S125.OO0. The food used
would be surplus food from the
Agriculture Department and
prepared at welfare institutions,
such as Junior Village. 1t would
then be trucked to each school
carrying on a program.

Included in that was a civic

trolled light industrial area.
Mr.. Cahill said the new plan
calls for rehabilitation and
conservation of areas that can
be restored economically" as
well as clearance and rehabili-
tation of spots which cannot
be saved"
The project, titled "Old Port
Center" calls for demolition Of
about 100 substandard homes,
so commercial structures and
four municipal or semi-muni-
cipal buildings. Historic Gads-
by'S Tavern and city hall would
be preserved, City Manager
Edward G. Heatwoie said, and
so homes needing improve

Rehabilitation would bring in

Mr.. Heatwole said the Fed

to pay as much as three
fourths of the lost 81 million,
with the city paying the rest.

initiative. A supplemental Fed

No Commitments
Mr.. Rabaut did not say how
far he is willing to see Congress
go in this connection, however
And he made no definite COM
mitments regarding the new
budget, which takes effect in
July.
Two subcommittee newcom-
erS carried on almost a running
cross1re with witnesses yester-
day on the question of taxes
and their relation to Federal
help.
Representatives Rhodes, Re-
publican of Arizona. and San
tangelo, Democrat of New York
contended that real estate taxes
in their home jurisdiction are
higher than the Districts. Both
also intimated that the Dis
trict's levies should be increased
before Congress considers fur.
Their supplementing them.
Mr.. Rhodes bluntly declared
District citizens should perhaps
stop blaming the Federal Gov
eminent for doing too little anc
look to their own resources.
Witnesses countered with nu
merouS arguments. A particu
larly strong statement of thu
plea for more Federal help wa.
made by Yates Cook, executive
director of the Federal CITY
Council, a group of prominen
business and civic leaders.
The council recently re,
cruited a board of prominen
leaders in other parts of thu
country to mobilize nationa
support for efforts to improve
the Capital.
More Money Asked
/ Mr.. Cook told the subcom
mittee a more generous Fed
eral payment is considered b,
his group ''the most importan
single issue now confronting
our city" He said the city i
/ prevented from raising enough
money to cover needed munich
pal services because its maio
industry, the United State
Government, cannot be taxed.
If the Government contrib
uted to the Districts finance
on the same basis as bushes
corporations are taxed else
where, the annual Federal pay
ment would exceed S57 million
Mr.. Cook estimated.
The only taxes discussed
specifically during yesterday
! session were the city's realt,
collections. Witnesses noteG
that real estate assessment
recently were increased, effec
tive this year. and that thi
would net an estimated 81 mil
lion increase in annual receipts
Mr.. Rabsut said all thi

S6.6 Million;
81 Over'5
Burnett Reports
TotuI of Givers
Also Increased

The United Givers Fund
raised s6,655,549 in its 1858
campaign, 5 per cent more
than it collected last year, and
more than it has ever raised
before, General Campaign
Chairman John T. Barnett said
today.
Mr.. Barnett told the UGF
annual meeting in the audi
forum of the D. c. Red Cross
Chapter House at 2025 E street
NV, that 490,2l4 givers con-
tributed to the drive, more
than $4,000 more than last
year.
Mr.. Barnett reported that
lUGF officials can "see a few
more gifts coming" before the
close of the fiscal year, adding
that another $4,000 to $25, 900
could be reported by then.
High Goal Was Set
eve set the goal high this
year." Mr.. Barnett declared. Il
always had my tongue in cheek
just a bit about raising 81 mil
lion. But we gave it a good
try.
"A few Of the businesses let
us down." he added. IF they
had come through we would
have made our 81 million"
Mr.. Barnett reported that
the Government Unit reached
almost 1903 per cent of its
quota, and gave the credit "pri-
marily to the personal leader
Fship of Attorney General Rog-
ers."
Short of Goal
The campaign to date stands
S344,45l short of its goal.
! Attorney General Rogers. who
addressed the meeting, called
the work of the United Givers
Fund democracy at its finest.
He said the fact that UGF is
designed to help individuals
must always be kept in the fore
front, and added that in the
Justice Department cases OF
juveniles and young adults who
got in trouble by stealing autos
to escape from their surround
.ings often come to his attention
They had no criminal intent
at ALL" he declared. But from
that one act they are apt tc
develop into criminals"

there will be another UGF
campaign next fall, and that
the economic outlook is good
With some changes in cam
paign approach and structure
that are in the making, We are
confident that the public will

which is very much needed,

the city council with q new
program which Calls for imme-
date work on "a city blocks,
most of them in the downtown
business district.
Three blocks Of King street,
the city'S main business artery,
would be converted into a
shopping mall limited to pedes-
TRANS only.
Presented by Planning Direc-
tor Denis H. Cahill and Assist
ant Martin Smith, the recon-
mendation would supplant an
other proposal made by the

the council lin principle last
December 9, called for a renew
al area covering A blocks with
five blocks designated as a
pilot project"
/ The new plan sets an over
