Other Bills Advanced
Reported bills which origi-
mated in Senate subcommit-
tees, were as follows:
Police Retirement-Police and
firemen and their widows and
children would receive a 10 per
cent increase in retirement
pay, to cost IS million over a
period of Is years. The gain
would come from application
of a 1857 retirement act to
of the force who re-
tired before then. There would
be no retroactive payments,
however. Retired officers and
their families have been seek
ing a 1873 per cent increase.
cleared in previous sessions by
the House but habitually re-
jected in the Senate.
PoIicemen's WidOws-A re-
lated bill would apply added
benefits of the 1857 act to
widows and surviving minor
children of deceased officers,
to cost $4.6 million over a 30
year period. The Commission
erS, in supporting the princi-
pie, have reluctantly opposed
the benefits, pleading lack of
funds.
Firemen's Work Week-The
60-hour work week of District
firemen would be reduced to 56
hours. The work week would
be cut in two stages, first to Sc
hours and, after January, 1862,
to 48 hours, at an eventual an

Transit Unit 5
Million
Plan Okayed
Senate Group
Approves a for
Advisory Bourd

The infant National Capital
Transportation Agency today
won Senate District Committee
sanction for its first S2.5 mil
lion development program.
The committee also recon-
mended four presidential NOM
ineeS to serve on the advisory
board to assist Administrator
c. Darwin Stolzenbach in map
ping a subway and rapid trans
it network.
The names of Thomas L.
Farmer and G. Franklin Ed
wards, both of the District;
Frederick Gutheim of Mary
land and Donald C. Hyde of
Ohio will go to the Senate for
confirmation within a few days.
Legislation reported by the
committee authorizes the
agency, created last year, to
acquire meoian strips for rapid
transit in the proposed free
ways, Route 66 in Fairfax and
Arlington Counties, Va, and
Route 95 in Prince Georges
County, Md.
Could Buy Land
The agency also would be
permitted to buy land suitable
for parking lots and bus sta
tons along the George Wash
ington Memorial parkway. Mr..
Stolzenbach explained at hear
ings that parking for autos
driven by suburban commuters
was essential to efficient op-
Grafton of rapid transit. Driv-
ers presumably would come
from their homes to the lots,
leave their cars and board ex-
press buses on the parkway into
the city.
Under the agency's authori-
zation law, each specific de-
velopment program must be
approved by Congress. This
approval authorizes expendi-
ture of funds, under the act. |
But the agency still must seek
appropriations to carry out the
program.
Agency spokeSmen may have
trouble clearing the program
this session. But Mr.. Stolen
bach said funds must be ex-
pended in 1862, when States
acquire land for the highways,
or the strips for transit must
be sacrificed.
Men Of Experience
President Kennedy'S choices
for agency advisers are men |
with both professional and civic
experience in transit.
Mr.. Farmer, 80, of 3456 Ma
comb street NV, a lawyer, was
chairman of the Northwest
Committee for transportation
Planning, a group which sup
ported strongly the current law
freezing for five years major
highway and parkway con-
struction in Northwest Wash
ington.
Mr.. Edwards, 46, of 4634 Six
teenth street NV, is a How
ard University professor of So
ciology. In 1947, he was elected
a director of the Washington
Housing Association.
Mr.. Gutheim, So, of Mont
gomery County, is president of
the w a shin ton Center for
Metropolitan Studies. From
1858 to 1860, he directed staff
work of the pilot Joint Con-
gressional Committee forI

lens.
Mr.. Hyde. the only Republi- |
can among the nominees, orig
inally was selected by President |
Eisenhower for service on the

and older who have lived ir
the District for one year prior
to election day. A Kennedy
proposal for 18-year-old vot-
ing and 90-day residence is
favored by most of Senator
Bibles committeeman.
Also delayed today because
of the absence of three COM
mitteemen-Senators Morse o1
Oregon, Hartke of Indiana ano
Smith of Massachusetts,, all
Democrats-were alternate bills
to subsidize D. C. Transit SyS-
tenn for hauling children tc
and from school at reduced
rates.
A House subcommittee has
shelved both bills, saying, ir
effect, that D. C. Transit
should petition for a 12.5-cent
school fare before coming tt
Congress for a legislative rem
edy of its fiscal problem. The
company franchise permits
school fares equal to half the
adult fares.
Senator Smith heads thu
subcommittee handling the
transit bills, and members de.
clined to act on either without
consulting him.
Fl Bills Reported
Of the 27 bills reported, 1C
have cleared the House.
One of these, calling fol
monthly reports of liquor sales
from wholesalers and retailers
to the District, has been op-
posed by Police Chief Robert
v. Murray. The reports would
take the place of a system of
stamping each bottle.
The reported Senate bill re-
quires retailers to put their Ii
cense number on each bottle
when it is displayed for sale,
But police insist that this
stamping comes too late to
trace theftS of cases and car
tons of liquor in storage.
These other House passed
bills were sent to the Senate
floor today:
Credit UniOnS-To permit is
Suance of group life insurance
contracts to credit unions to
insure their eligible members
for amounts up to their savings
in the credit union or $4,000,
whichever is less.
Insurance-To allow domestic
life insurance companies to &C
quire common stock of any
other insurance company for
the purpose of gaining a sub
sidiary or an affiliate.
Foreign DOctors-To make it
possible for graduates of for
eign medical schools to take
examinations for licenses to
practice in the District. They
would become eligible only
after first passing the exam
ination of the Educational
Council for Foreign Medical
Graduates or other organiza-
tions approved by the American
Medical Association, the As
sociation of American Medical
Colleges, the Federation of
State Medical Boards and the
American Hospital Association.
DOgs-To empower the COM
misSioners to regulate keeping
and leashing of dogs. The bill
is aimed at resolving the con-
flict between an 1887 law di-
recting the commissioners to
control dogs and a 1902 law
guaranteeing that all tagged
dogs, except females in heat,
may run at large in the city.

a small scale without going to
Congress.
This is the sixth day ot
hearings" the Senator noted
land not one of you has sale
anything about this reorganiza-
ton plan. It's going to cost
money"
Mr.. Shea agreed it would cost
more as salaries increase.
Senator Byrd called on Dis
trict Commissioners Clarke ano
Duncan to comment on the re-
organization.
City Heads Not Informed
Gen. Clarke said this was
the first he knew of it.
Mr.. Duncan, who is the new
est member Of the three-mar
board and is responsible fol
welfare matters, also said he
had not heard of it before.
However, he said, he believes
in close liaison with Congress
This is probably the last &C.
casion on which Congress might
be uniformed" he said.
Senator Byrd, in close ques-
tioning at hearings, has looked

ing on the city's rising re-
lief roles.
He stressed along with Sen.
ator Schoeppel, Republican of
Kansas, that he favors pro-
grams to improve efficiency.
But both Senators complained
that whatever the merits of the
plan it should have been
brought to Congress for ap-
proval. Mr.. Shea said there was
no attempt to conceal this plan
from the lawmakers, adding
that he believed he had made
his request through the right
channels.
Promotion Planned
DR.. Jack Kleh, the depart
ment's medical director who
until now has also had respon-
sibility for the operations at
D. C. Village for the Aged, will
be replaced at D. C. Village by
in-grade promotions, Mr.. Shea
said, and a new doctors salary
will be paid by additional
money in Federal matching
funds for the aged.
In the surplus food division,
the department abolished one
position, moved the assistant
superintendent up to superin-
tendent, and upgraded the
superintendent to a post in the
headquarters office.
The Districts welfare pro-
gram has the newest look in
the budget on which Senate
hearings are due to end today.
Gone are about ST million in
services proposed to be financed
by both District and Federal
funds. o $4,000 pilot study to
ferret out "freeloaders" on re-
lief rolls and a larger staff of
investigators seemed to have
won subcommittee favor.
1t is likely that Senator
Byrd will recommend a welfare
spending program well under
the $21.8 million House figure.
He should be on comparatively
safe ground in demanding cuts
in a e-House conference
since Mr.. Shea and District
Commissioners in the Senate
hearings have given their tacit
approval.

Tiny Device
Studies Brain
mo Wires

REHOVOTH, Israel - A new ap-
paratus for recording "b a l. n
waves" in humans and animals has
been developed at the Weizmann
Institute of Science. Called Sub
Miniature Electroensephalo lograph"
(EEG), it is part of an existing
conventional system for brain-wave
recording which has been greatly
improved by scientists of the Weiz-
mann Institute.
The tiny new EEG was shown at
the fourth International Conference
on Medical Electronics in New
York. 1t is actually miniature
transmitter which is placed direct
ly on the head of the subject under
investigation. Cats have been used
as the experimental animals, but
an even smaller unit is being built
for pigeons.
The instrument enables scientists
and medical men to record brain
waves without the elaborate wiring
systems used in conventional in
struments. The absence of con-
nection wires in the Rehovoth-
made instrument provides greater
flexibility in the measurement of
brain waves. 1t also makes it pos
sible to investigate the subject und-
er natural conditions.
One of the smallest medical in
strumentS ever produced, it can be
slipped into a pocket and is wholly
transistorized, and it weighs one
ounce.

Wins A Fan:
Bette Davis
By HERBERT G. LUFT

HOLLYWOOD (JTA) Peter
Falk. recipient of a 1851 Oscar
nomination for his supporting role
in Murder, Inc" a portrayal sing
led out for special recognition py
the Hollywood Foreign Press AS
sociation. most recently completed
his screen assignment in Pocket
full of Miracles" a high-budgeted
feature in color produced and ol-
rected by Frank Capra.
The actor says good material is
hard to find for a young man try
ing to portray character parts.
Shying away from type casting, AT.
er having been in 1.-TWO stinkers," )"
he found in his third screen role
of gangland's Abe Relies, a part OF
accelerating power, though uncom-
promisingly evil, that brought him
to the attention of the public. ;.
IN "POCKETFUL of Miracles"
Falk once more depicts an under
world character, but unlike the VIC
ious killer of Murder, Inc.," this
one is a lovable Damon Runyon
drawing in which he appears with
the fierceness and gentlenesS OF
voungish John Garfield. After one
DAYS work with him, he was hlgnly
acclaimed by co-Star Bette DAVIS.
Peter Falk is a Jewish lad born
in New York City "a years ago.
When he was small boy, the lam
iIy moved to Ossining where his
father has been a storekeeper ever
since. When Peter was 8 he lost an
eve because of an illness. Just as
in the case of Paul MUM, it never
shows on the screen.
A favorite on the baseball and
basketball team at high school,
Falk found college boring and IN
1945 enlisted in the Merchant Ma
rine. In 1947 he entered Hamilton
College. then enrolled in the New
School for Social Research where
he earned a B. A. degree in politl-
cal science. The school was con-
nected with Piscator'S dramatic
workshop but P t e declined q
scholarship nd instead roamed
Europe for year.
HE THEN enrolled in the Max
well School of Syracuse University,
earning a masters degree in pub
lie administration. Peter appeared
in student productions and receiv-
ed good reviews in Richard III"
and in "White Bucks and Tails"
After graduation, he became an et-
ficiency expert for the budget di-
rector of Hartford, Conn. BY days,
Falk worked in his job, first for
Governor Lodge and later for Gov
ernor Ribicoff, spending his eve
nings with the Mark Twain Mask
ers of Hartford. The encourage
ment of Eva LeGallienne proved
to be the turning point in Peter
Falk's career. In 1866, he went to
New York determined to become
an actor.
In less than a month he landed
the role of the bartender in o.
NeilPs 1.-THE Iceman Cometh" in
the Circle on the Square revival.
He played the soldier giving Saint
