CSC's recent interagency ad-
visory group meeting, Warren
Irons, executives director, said
the responsibility Of finding
other jobs for these career en-
ployes Is not solely that Of the
defense agencies.
Mr.. Irons said "the respon-
sibility is at the door of every
agency in the Federal Govern
ment which operates within the
merit system"
He told the personnel officers:
Aggressive and positive efforts
must be made-appointing offi-
cials must not be permitted to
create artificial barriers or rely
on technical arguments to fore
stall hiring affected employees. "
He pledged the CSC's all-out
effort in assisting the employe
to find other positions.
Although the defense agencies
have to trim their civilian stats
by 5000 jobs, attrition will take
care of more than two-thirds of
that number. A virtual job
freeze means much of the re-
duction will be achieved by not
hiring new employees to replace
those who resign or retire
through normal personnel turn
over.
However, Army still must lay
off about 800 employees and Navy
must drop about $40 workers.
The Air Force can achieve all
of its reductions through the
attrition method, without hav-
ing to dismiss employees.
PENSION VOTED-The re-
cent National Association Of

Doherty when he retires is rs

dent, Jerome Keating, from

Record $19.5 Million
Asked for D. c. Welfare

The Districts growing corps
'of dependent children, cared
for by the Public Welfare De-
partment because their own
homes are unsuitable, would be
helped in many ways by the
record S19,508,000 welfare
budget recommended by Presi-
dent Eisenhower to Congress
today.
Among other things, the
$2,028,000 increase over the
1860 budget would provide q
more staff members at over
crowded Junior Village
strengthening the program al
the city's home at Blue Plains
for homeless children.
1t would allow for a boost oi
$265,8l0 in board rates fol-
children living with foster
parents and in private inSti.
tutions. 1t would also add nine
social workers to the protective
services in the children welfare
division.
Proposed capital outlay oi
$986,000 would include $429,-
900 to build a new infirmary
and admission building at Jun.
ior Village, as well as $56,00C
Evening star., 1960-01-18

in plan money for two new
cottages there.
If proposed tax increases are
approved, $69O.OOO will be
sought later to build these cot
tageS.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said the addition of a
child care specialist at Junior
Village would mean a WELL
organized training program for
pre-school children could be
launched. He noted that indi-
vidual attention has been all
but impossible at Junior Viii
lage, which now has almost
twice as many youngsters as
the institution was intended to
shelter.
| Mr.. Shea noted that a pro-
posed increase of $500,000 in
local money for assistance pay
ments would "only hold the
line" in the face of constantly
rising relief rolls.
The estimate for total as
Sistance costs. including Dis
trict and matching Federal
money. is $14,755,879, compared
with $13,459,875 this year, he
said.

POLICE

A strong bid to bolster the
numerical strength of the
Metropolitan Police force is
contained in the Presidents
1861 budget recommendations
to Congress.
About half the $1.6 million
increase over the current years
S22.8 million appropriations
would add $50 uniformed men
to swell the force to a total
authorized strength of 2,758.
The present strength was in
creased by 100 only last year
to help stem the rising tide of
crime here. Police reported
that despite the last authorize
ton there are still 80 vacancies
Another $93, 900 has been rec
commended to hire 26 civilians
to ticket parking law violators.
This is expected to free for
more essential duty a nearly
equivalent number of uni
formed men who now ride herd
on illegal parkerS. The civilians
will walk their beats.
Three other civilian positions
are sought to do clerical duty,
thus freeing that number of
uniformed men for law enforce
ment work. This budget item
is $4,000.
An experimental program
would be launched at a cost
Of $1,000 to provide two-way
walkie-talkie radio communica-
ton for all foot patrolmen in
one of the more crime infested
Of the downtown precincts.

cized problem of being under

Next years budget would
amount to S24.689,OO0, or S.
100000 over this years S18.-

of this increase is due to new
construction.
Over a year ago DR.. Winfried

called in an outside group to
study the hospital. The result
was a report which blasted the
hospital for being understaffed
Plans already have been
drawn for a new treatment

This structure will also contain
a cafeteria serving nearby cot
tages. 1t will be an addition to
the hospitals geriatric facilities.

HEALTH

The Health Department
would get a $2,435, 1924 budget
increase for fiscal 1861 under
the administrations request to
Congress.
The department would get a
record high budget of $37.3l9,-
900. This is still 81 ,382,776 less
than the Health Departments
request to the Commissioners.
The department considers its
most important increase the
$273. 100 added to the admin
istration fund, bringing it up to
a total of S1,478,100. Much of
this increase would be used to
expand its program planning
section and division of biosta-
tistics. 1t is expected to pre-
NIT more complete indignation
of the departments various
programs and more accurate
records and statistics to show
where emphasis is needed.
District General Hospital
would receive a $798.60O in
crease, bringing its total oper-
ating budget up to S11,925,600
This is to help cover higher
costs, a larger patient load and
an equipment catch up" pro-
gram.
An increase of $845,000 is
provided in the request to bring
the total allocated for District
patients in st. Elizabeths Hos
pital up to $14.264,000. The
present daily rate of SIPS is
expected to go up to $7.83 by
mutual agreement because Of
an increase in the mental hos

$2.4 Million Request Made
For More Area Park Land

A total of $2.4 million to buy
expanded park areas in the
Washington area - including
the first substantial park ac-
QUESTIONS in nearby Virginia
was requested by President
Eisenhower today for the Ma
ton Capital Planning Commits
sion.
At the same time, the budget
request continues the increased
level of operating expenses for
local planning that was begur
last year.
The commissions operating
budget of $408, ,000-$8,000 more
than the current year-nearly
doubles the amount granted
two years ago.
No new personnel will be
hired. But the amount will
permit a full continuation OF
long-range planning, including
development Of a plan for the
year 1000, urban renewal
transportation, downtown re-
vitalization and a half dozen
other programs.
$2,425,OOO For Land
For the first time in a long
while, the commissions request
includes no new land acquisi-
ton for highways. The $2,425,-
900 for land-buying breaks
down this way:
/. About $50 acres of land in
scattered parcels for recrea-
tional and park development
in the George Washington
Memorial parkway between the
District line and the new Wood
row Wilson (JoneS Point)
Bridge in Prince Georges
County-$25O,O 900.
Q. Land for the extension of
five stream valley parks in
nearby Maryland-$1.6 million.
Of this amount, 100000 would
be a Federal grant and 81 mil
lion would be a long term loan
to Maryland.
3. Development of four stream
valley areas of nearby Virginia
-$575,000. This is the greatest
amount Of money ever re-
quested under the Capper-
Cramton Act for Virginia park
growth. Local matching funds
for the $575, 900 Federal grant
have been raised with bond
issues.

To match the park acquisi-
tions proposed in Virginia, the
local governments have agreed
to participate separately in the
unified program. The Virginia
acquisitions include:
About 120 acres in Pimmit

100 acres of Accotink Creek
tributaries in Fairfax; 1913
acres in Cameron Run in Fair
fax, plus 142 acres near Holmes
Run Creek in Fairfax and in
Alexandria, and IS acres along

But looking past the end
of 1861, financing of this pro-
gram becomes a grave ques-
ton" he added.
The 1866 deadline was fixed
by the United States Public
Health Service more than a
year ago. Acting under its law
enforcement authority granted
by the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, USPHS informany,
but firmly, put city officials ON
notice that the quality of the
Potomac must be substantially
improved or run the risk Of
possible court action after 1866.
One hope for a solution lies
in pending legislation pro-
viding for a $75 million Fed
eral appropriation to keep the
programIgoing on schedule.

trim the swollen caseload.
The new positions created
would be six social workers, a

latter post is regarded as one
of the most important since
the task would provide for the
orderly assignment of cases for
court action.
