William T. Harkey, an cleo
trical engineer assigned to the
railroads general office here,
described the engine as a 48-
foot Heavy Pacific" locomotive
built by the American Loco
motive Co.'S Richmond works
in the mid-l920s.
The engine, Southern's No.
1401. is a classic example of
American locomotive building
at its peak. She is fast, reliable
and powerful, but her type has
been supplanted by diesel power
plants.
Moving the ponderous en-
gine-which weighs 1872 tons
over IL miles of city streets

picking problem. District High

be over 355.0O0 pounds.

later last month asked for con-
greSsional permission to post
pone the scheduled reductions
for two months. Mr.. Duncan
sought the postponement to
permit time for the Welfare
Committee study to be carried
out.
Byrd Refused
Senator Robert C. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia.
who heads the Districts Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee,
refused to go along with the
poStponement request. In the
report to Mr.. Duncan, the spe-
cial advisory group said it had
made a detailed STUDY of the
budgets of 90 families whose
welfare checks were to be cut.
Using specified budget cri-
terra for basic expenditures.
the study found that the grants,
before the November l cuts
ARE an average of sc per cent
of the amount needed"
The report added:
I'VE would certainly conclude
that to cut the load of present
grants would work hardship on
these children"
The report ny Msgr. Coady's
committee was approved yes
terday by a larger welfare ad-
visory committee known as the
Community Planning Com
mittee."
Cases Cited
The report said that the i'm
pact from the cuts is "even
more alarming" when specific
cases were examined. One of
these cases cited was this:
The current food allowance
for a mother and five children
was $109 a month. The shelter
allowance was $64, but the
family actually paid $85. This
meant that the $21 difference
came out of food, with the Sc
reduction November l the
mother and her five children
have to feed themselves on As
cents a person a day.
Even with the supplement
of surplus food and free lunch
five days a week for school
aged children. this is not
enough for health and decency."
The report, drafted before the
cuts went into effect, declared:
I'VE believe that to make the
cuts would be inconsistent with
the stated goal of the Senate
subcommittee chairman (Sena-
tor Byrd. the current practice
of the Department of Public
Welfare, and the dictates of
conscience. 1t would deprive
children of the food they need;
it would force mothers to try
to raise a family on an amount
of money below an amount de-
termined to be essential. We
urge the District Commission
ers and the Congress to take all
steps necessary to avert any
such reductions.

ton on the reference to Sena-
tor Byrd. the report quoted sew

Willard Morris. not a member

Suburban Sanitary Commission,
protested that the club ought

fore making an Endorsement.
Thomas Not Mad
Howard Thomas, Montgom-

candidate George P. Mahoney,

Endorsement too. Mr.. Thomas

thing as he walked out after

ton to attend a church-spon-

Mr.. Fadler, obviously a Tawes

that he thought so much of
him that he named him chair
man of the House Labor Com

Granted extra time because
Mr.. Wilkinson took consider
ably more than his allotted
three minutes, Mr.. Sickles said
he wanted to say something
nice about Mr.. Wilkinson too:
Il congratulate him on his
foresight in naming me chair
man of the committee.
Representative Brewster was
supposed to be there, but had
to back out at the last mo-
ment and send in his ad-
miniStrative assistant William
Townsend. Mr.. Townsend said
this was not because Mr..
Brewster was afraid to invade
opponent Blair Lees county,
and that his fearless leader
and employer" would be in
Montgomery many times be-
fore the campaign is over.
Mr.. Townsend observed that
it is a crime, shame and
