Mount Rainier Parade
Keys 50th Anniversary

More than 100 units paraded
through Mount Rainier yester-
day marking the city'S f1ftieth
anniversary.
Beach chairs, swimming suits,
and other hot-weather togS

parade positions.
The parade was marTed by
one Incident. Mount Rainier
Police Chief Thomas Alsop fell
from the back of a convertible
on which he had been seated,
when the vehicle started up
suddenly.
Chief Alsop was examined at
Providence Hospital and re-
leased. He was reported back
on duty later in the afternoon.
Paraders consisted of fire
companies, their ladies' auxil-
aries, civic and service groups,
churches, and antique automo-
biles. horses with gold-painted
hooves, and officials of the
Prince Georges County COM
munity.
Getting more attention than
some of the parade units were
the refreshment stations set
up around the reviewing stands.
The more fortunate viewers
merely had to go around the
corner to their homes to bring
back thirst-quenching jugs and
Suntan lotion.
Youngsters decorated town
parking meters to compete for
cash prizes. There is free park
ing in the town until tomorrow
morning.

Draws 1900

A belated Easter egg hunt
in Hyattsville, Nd, yesterday
drew a starting crowd Of $500
youngsters and saw the grand
prizes snatched up in less than
10 minutes.
The hunters we're helped by
clear, sunny skies-a contrast
to the rains that forced post
ponment last Monday in Ma
gruder Park. The 25th annual
event was sponsored by the
Prince Georges County Kiwanis
Clubs and the Sidney Lust
TheaterS.
More than 1000 artificial
eggs were hidden throughout
the park and were worth 5
cents to 81 to their finders.
Two grand-prize silver eggs
brought SIS each.
The first was found by Roger
Rinehart, 10, of 1907 Gallatin
street, Rogers Heights. Seconds
later the other was uncovered
by Pamela Werner, II, of 1904
Glenville road, Takoma Park.
Two queens were crowned,
one for last year when the hunt

Students portraying board

WasteScored
Senate Unit
By the Associated PresS

A Senate committee today
hit at what it called numerous
and admitted examples of
waste and duplication" in de-
fenSe buying.
The rebuke was in a report
by the Senate Appropriations
Committee explaining its bill
providing $40, 1884 1877 900 for de-
fenSe outlays in the new fiscal
year which begins July /.
AS the biggest annual funds
measure reached the Senate for
expected floor action next week,
it contained $1,049, 1897 900 more
than PreSid e t Eisenhower
asked in January and $l,047.-
030.000 more than voted by the
House last month.
The Senate group restored
several multimillion dollar
items rejected by the House
and added a number the House
did not consider.
Compromise Necessary
Once the big bill passes the
Senate a compromise must be
reached with the House. on
scores of differences.
An example was a House di-
receive to all the armed serv-
ices to slice 3 per cent from
procurement Of missiles, air.
craft, ships and other military
hardware. This amounted to
more than $400 million. The
Senate committee deleted this
after some Senators called it
a "meat-ax cut"
But the Appropriations Com
mittee noted that its action
handing back the $400 million
to Pentagon purchasers in no
wise condones waste, poor pro-
Icedures and lack Of good judg-
ment."
Similar comments accompa-
MED restoration of House
slashes, in part or whole, of
funds for military travel, COM
munications and headquarters
personnel.
Same Manpower Levels
The Senate bill would main
tain both active duty and re-
serve military personnel at
about the present manpower
levels for the next IL months.
The committee report pre-
dicted an average of l,488,l1O
officers and enlisted personnel
on active duty until mid-i96l
and l,068,000 reServists on drill
pay status. The averages for
the current fiscal period are
.2,494,986 and 1.080,178.
Other major increases made
by the Senate bill include:
l. $293 million to build en-
other large attack aircraft car
rier with conventional power
refused by the House.
2. 1924 million to produce
Bomarc anti-aircraft missiles
denied by the House and $75
million to complete two bases
for them-not considered by the
House.
