Welfare Law Awaits
Byrd Views on Fraud

ministratively imposed with re-
spect to the amount of public
assistance which any person,
or class of persons, may re.
ceive."
Ceilings for Congress
This clause will satisfy SEN
ator Byrd, if at all, for the
reason that it would leave to
Congress the right to impose
ceilings. His Appropriations
subcommittee members have
seen considerable sense in the
ceiling idea, and asked for
estimated spending under a
$275 maximum per family
payment.
Family responsibility for well
fare recipients is strengthened
under the bill.
A husband, wife. father,
mother or adult child of a
recipient shall support him,
according to ability to pay, the
law states. The needy person
may bring court action to re-
quire relatives to support him.
The court, if it granted the
plea, would order payments
just like alimony.
The law also allows the
District to sue relatives for the
amount of public aid granted
to a recipient or for as much
of that money as a relative is
able to pay.
Senator Byrd'S clearance,
rejection or suggestions for
amendment of the bill are ex-
pected to be received in time
for Senate District Committee
action next Tuesday.

Urban Council Hits
Smith Renewal Bill
Agree to Back
Mcmillan PIon
By ROBERT HORNIG
star staff Writer

The Urban Renewal Council
today urged the District Com
missioners to oppose a bill that
would have the District reor-
ganize the Redevelopment Land
Agency and the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority.
The council instead urged the
Commissioners to support the
original bill, submitted by the
Federal City Council, that
would abolish the two agencies.
This bill, introduced by
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee in
April, calls for the Commits
sionerS to establish a Rede-
velopment and Housing Author
ity. It's board of directors
would be appointed by and di-
rectly responsible to the Com
missioners.
The substitute bill opposed
today by the Urban Renewal
Council was drafted by a sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat of
Virginia.
Would Be Under d. C. Heads
Mr.. Smiths bill provides for
the transfer of RIA and NCHA
to the District government and
gives the Commissioners author
ity to reorganize them.
In effect, it makes the func-
ton of the two agencies a
District department.
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke told the council
today that the Smith proposal
probably would result in more
efficient operation but that a
board of directors composed of
citizens as priVeded in the Nc
Milan plan would give needed
public participation in the city's
urban renewal programs.
Gen. Clarke said the Com
miSSiOnerS are therefore sup
porting the Mcmillan version,
which in effect sets up cor
uorate structure in the District
government.
Based on d. c. Report
The original Mcmillan pro-
possi was based on a report by
the Commissioners last Janu-
airy at the request of The Sen
ate District Committee. Both
that committee and the House
District Committee had asked.
the Federal City Council to look
into the Districts controversial
urban renewal program.
At present, the RIA admin
listers the citys' urban renewal
program. The NCHA super
viSes public. housing,
ADistrict government spokes-
man said the Smith bill also
cuts the power of the National
Capital Planning Commission
to a purely advisory function.
The commission now holds a
veto power over urban renewal
projects.

BUT THE STANDARDS
have gone down. His school
insisted on a tipping speed of
70 words a minute - with
accuracy. Today, Civil Serv-
ice accepts so.
Stenography is not as i'm

Shorthand is still useful but
for extended reporting there
are the mechanical speed

still, sound tape.
But while applicants for
clerical jobs, in his opinion,
don't write or spell or add

make pothooks as we'll as
they would have a generation
ago, he is lost in admiration
for the way many of them
increase their skill after they
get a job with Uncle Sam.
AS for this idea of recruit
ing instead of screening
applicants, Uncle Sam today
is going out and competing
with big corporations in en-
ploying promising graduates
of colleges and universities.
Do they stay with Uncle
Sam, or do they, as many
recruited by private indus
try, take the first better ioo
offered?
I'VE are making a study
of that" said Mr.. Harvey,
but I think they stay. The

Senate District committee
men have decided against re-
porting a bill to unity local well
fare laws until Senator Byrd
Democrat of West Virginia, can
check it's anti-fraud provisions
The bill, given priority rat

Mr.. Harvey is a good

What we discussed was
very important. Many Wash

that Government recruit

not only due to the man-in-

Kennedy measures to keep
Uncle Sam abreast or ahead

Last year Civil Service
hired 265,O0O. This year it
will be higher. But what
Washingtonians are likely to
forget is that less than 10
per cent of them go to work
here.
What are they like? Do
they reflect a trend in
American education?
That gave Mr.. Harvey
pause. His considered an
swer was that the young
people employed by the Gov
eminent today do not work
as hard to qualify in clerical
skills because they don't
have to.
He himself is an alumnus
of a privately owned, profit

Missouri which is now de-

such institutions are faring.
He had no statistics but he

Two More Judges
The minority report recon-
mended two more judges for

BY then, the report said, the

The minority report also
stated that the l9-year-olo age
limit for the court constitutes
the best procedure in the treat
ment of juvenile offenses.
And 1T added:
I'VE emphasize again that
the present act permits the
Juvenile Court to waive its
jurisdiction and order a child
held for criminal trial if the
child is Is or older and is
charged with an offense
amounting to a felony"
The signers of the report
called this procedure a reason

The Assembly's top Political
Committee begins debate on
proposals for a nuclear test ex-
plosion moratorium after Soviet
efforts we're defeated to have

later general disarmament dis

The committee debate was
expected to bring repeated calls
for Russia to call off the super

States and its allies hoped the
debate would marshal sufficient
anti-test opinion to force the
Russians to reconsider.

announcement by appealing to
the Kremlin to reverse its de-
