Appreciates u. S.

Summing up, Sonia said:
"By visiting these countries
I really came to appreciate
my own land. Its only when
you visit them, and see the
appalling poverty and want,
that you learn to appreciate
and be thankful for the
blessings we have"
Yvonne also stressed the
need for a better and wider
program Of imparting Amer
icana to African nations.
People in the countries !
visited are not inclined to-
wards communism, as such.
All they want is a better life.
Almost everyone I met wants
to come to America. Only last
week I received a letter from
q Schoolboy in Ghana who
wanted three Ghanian pounds
to pay his school fees.
These countries have hopes
we'll not desert them. If we
belle these hopes, we'll loose
their friendship"

Surnoff Tells Of Device
To Record TVin Home

DETROIT, Feb. 4 (AP).-
Robert w. Sarnoff, board chair
man of the National Broad
casting Co., says MICS lab
oratory is testing a gadget de-
signed to let the home viewer
record any television show with
a video tape device.
The gadget, Mr.. Sarnof said,
should be on the market in
about five years. 1t would work
automatically, recording any
show and could be set in ad-
vance to record a certain show
for persons who have to be
away from home during tele-
cast time.
That should end a lot of
criticism from people who COM
plain the shows they want are
on at the wrong time" the NBC
executive said in an address
before the Michigan council Of
the American Association Of
Advertising Agencies.

C.Poyment

Chairman Rabaut of the
House District Appropriations
Subcommittee was urged last
night to give "the most under
standing consideration" to the
Districts request for the au-
thorized S32 million Federal
payment.
The plea came from Frank j.
Luchs, treasurer of the Federal
City Council, in an address be-
fore the Kalorama Triangle
Restoration Society at the
Windsor Park Hotel.
1T should be a matter of
pride to every member of Con-
gress that our National Capital
have a budget that is adequate
to keep the city safe, and a real
ornament to our country" he
said.
Mr.. Luchs was one Of four
speakers in panel discussion
on basic steps for the success
full estoration of in-town
homes.
"One of the important keys
to keeping our city a good place
in which to live" he said, 'is
provision of an adequate budget
for city services. In Washing
ton, this necessarily is a matter
in which there is a grave Fed
eral responsibility"
Believed to have been the
first meeting of its kind to be
held in Washington, last
nights restoration round-table
brought together Walter Mar
lowe, an architect; Lloyd P.
Salyer, a carpenter builder who
has specialized in restoration
work; H. Curley Boswell, for

Zoo'sNewPygmyHippo
Thrives on Sea Trip

The Washington Zoos new
pygmy hippopotamus, appar-
emily none the worse for q
rough Atlantic crossing, was to
arrive here tonight, ending q
13-day journey from Liberia.
The 400-pound hippo, to be
named Totota, arrived in New
York this morning aboard the
African Glade, in custody Of
keeper Charles Thomas. Assist
ant Zoo Director ]. Lear Grim
mer was there to greet them.
THE animal looks in fine
shape" Mr.. Grimmer said. II
think the voyage took some
pounds of Thomas and put
them on the hippo"
Totota, a gift from Liberian
President Tubman, spent his
time roaming through a state
room and bath. Mr.. Thomas, of
2219 Otis street NE, kept busy
feeding him, giving him several
showers a day, and making sure
he stayed warm.
THAT animal should be as
close to Thomas as anybody, ("
Mr.. Grimmer said. "I don't
know whether he learned to
love him or not, though"
The unloading operation hit
one snag. Totota was in the
shower stall. The bathroom
door swung inward. and, when
opened. blocked the shower
stall, neatly trapping the hippo.
This was solved simply by
taking the door off its hinges.
A crate was placed outside
the Stateroom and when Totota
left the bathroom, he "ambled
right out of the room and into
the crate" Mr.. Grimmer said
A crane lifted the crate off
the ship and into a waiting
station wagon. Then Mr..
Thomas and Cecil Gray, super
visory keeper at the elephant
house, set off for Washington
with their live cargo.
The hippo officially will be
presented to the Zoo tomorrow
at 3 pm. in a ceremony at
the elephant house. Liberian
Charge d'Affaires Francis A.
Dennis will make the presenta-
ton.

William E. Finley, director y
the planning commission. said
after the meeting that the lack
Of parking would grow worse
when some 10000 spaces now
provided by the Government
are utilized as building sites.
He said he feels that some So
million in parking meter rev.
enue should be used to build
parking facilities in connection
with an overall downtown
plan. The Motor Vehicle Park
ing Agency, which controls the
money. has proposed construc-
ton of a parking garage under

l65 million gallons. He said
the Fine Arts Commission has
requested architects to make
some minor changes on the
exterior design of the building.
Final approval by the COM
mission. however, is expected
at its February II meeting.
Mr.. Voigt said construction on
the addition, at Little Falls
road and Macarthur boulevard,
should begin about May. He
said construction would be COM
pleted early in 1868.
Rowland Snyder, of the Gen.
eral Services Administration,
said the new treatment building
and cafeteria at St. Elizabeths
would cost about $4.5 million.
The planning commission also
approved plans for addition of
two wings to the old admins
stration building at the hospi-
tai. They would cost about
S50O,000.
Included in 81 Budget
Mr.. Snyder said money for
both projects is being requested
in the 1861 budget and that
construction could not start
until after June 80 this year.
The Planning Commission
today presented results of an
inventory of property in an 30
block area of downtown WASH
ington. The information was
handed over to Robert c. Baker,
chairman, and Knox Danner,
executive director of the Ma
tional Capital Downtown Com
mittee.
One of the findings was that
downtown Washington has a
remarkably small amount of
open space that can be used
for off-street parking. The re-
port said that only about 6 per

vacant and being used for off,

River Planners
Claim TheyAre
Kept in Dark

Irving K. Fox, associate di-
rector Of Resources for the
Future Inc, today accused the
Federal Government Of failing
to put on the table" the facts
about development of the
Potomac River Basin.
He told the opening session
of the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin
that I'VE are debating plans for
the Potomac, but we are still in
the dark" He said Congress
and other agencies seem to be
conspiring to keep the people
in the dark.
MIR. Fox said the people must
have the facts to decide such
broad issues as public versus
private development of the
water power of the basin, the
extent of recreation facilities,
and the cost Of purifying
Potomac water for home and
industrial use now and in the
future. He advocated putting
on the table" a plan for the
development of the
Potomac River Basin.
Another speaker at the win
ter meeting of the commission.
at the Washington Hotel, Royce
Hanson, American University
government professor, decried
the diffusion Of authority over
the basin. He said there is no
one place where a decision
binding all basin governments
can be made. He said the lack
of District representation in
Congress aggravated the prob
lem. DR.. Hanson said the coun-
ties must help fight pollution
since housing developments and
their resulting sewage pose a
threat to the basin.
David V. Aud. District direc-
tor of sanitary engineering, said
the Potomac is Americas un-'
developed river" adding that
the time has come to map ways
to tap the Potomac for future
water supplies.

Hearing Slated
On nJob|essPay

Another attempt to solve a
five-year dispute over how
much unemployment compen-
sation Washingtonians should
collect will be made next
Wednesday by a Senate District
subcommittee.
Subcommittee Chairman
Morse, Democrat of Oregon,
has scheduled hearings at 10
am. on four proposals. They
run the gamut from maximum
benefits of $50 a week for SO
weeks to $36 a week for a
variable maximum duration Of
26 weeks.
Present law sets the max
imum at $50 for 26 weeks.
Raise Voted Twice
The Senate has twice voted
increased compensation for Dis
trict joblesS in the last five
years. But sharp notifications
urged primarily by the Wash
ington Board of Trade have
prevented congressional clear
ance.
Senator Morse has intro
duced the most liberal bill,
which first passed Congress in
1855. 1t would fix benefits at
81 per cent of the average wage
of all covered workers COM
puted annually-a formula al
lowing maximum weekly bene-
fits of from $50 to $50. The
unemployed could draw ben
ef1ts for 80 weeks.
New Formula Offered
Also pending is a more con-
servative measure to increase
maximum payments to $48 for
"A weeks.
A third compromise propo-
sal arrived in Congress from
the Commissioners today. 1t
would fix a formula of pay
ments at so per cent of aver
age annual wages of covexed
workers-amounting to about
S44 a week.
The Board Of Trade also is
submitting a new proposal to-
day for $36 in weekly benefits
for a variable maximum dura-
ton of 26 weeks. This propo-
sal would ease the tax burden
on employers who build up the
fund from which unemploy-
ment compensation is drawn.

operation. He said transit riders,
notably residents Of the Cabin
John area where one of the
streetcar lines was abolished,
had preferred streetcars to
buses. Now, he said, they are
being asked to pay the cost Of
abandoning service which they
would have rather had In the
first instance.
Interim Increase
The transit company is SEEK
ing a scent fare increase to be-
applicable during rush hours
until November when a straight
25-cent fare would become eff
fective.
The company has said the
increase is needed to offset
higher operating costs, pri-
marily due to a new labor con-
tract, and the costs of con-
verting to bus operation.
The P. U. c. staff last week
suggested an alternate fare in
crease which would continue
the present 20-cent fare for
those riders who desire to pur-
chase five tokens for 81 but
would increase the fare to Csc
for cash riders.
During his testimony this

the PUG chairman, George
E. c. Hayes, whether the COM
have already made
up their minds on the increase.
He was assured that the matter
is still open and that we're not
