one of the first to evacuate be-
fore Carla's rush.
Fallen power lines set four
fires at a pleasure pier in Port
Arthur and dangled crafty over
much of the stricken city.
A tornado spawned in the
hurricanes turbulence ripped
into HouSton's Channelview
section, injured % persons, de-
molished seven homes and
damaged several others.
20 Feet of Water in Areas
Parts of Texas City, between
Galveston and Houston and on
the mainland'S edge, were un-
der 20 feet of water. Power
failed and the water supply
was contaminated. A radio
newSman said efforts were be-
| ing made to evacuate 1000
refugees from Texas City shell
ters that had no sanitary IA
cilities, no water and no food.
Downtown Galveston was
flooded with waiSt-deep water
in some sections and the en-
tire island was without power.
Emergency generators were in
use at Galveston hospitals. No
injuries had been reported, al
though damage was heavy
along the waterfront and down
the resort city'S boardwalk and
Seawall boulevards.
While hundreds of thousands
fled the hurricanes wrath,
many preferred to stay put.
Fights to Save Boat
At Corpus Christi, red
bearded Don Wilson said:
This boat is my home and
wasn't going to turn her over
to the hurricane" He fought
the strom to save his 40-foot
sailboat.
A 4O-year-old graduate of
Boston College, Mr.. Wilson
said: "The spray from the
waves was so powerful during
the height of the storm that
you couldn't open your eyes
on deck"
I'm going to stay right here
until see the sunshine again."
said a chuckling S. G. Hall, as
he stood in the office of the
Victoria Advocate. With no
paper to be published last
night, Publisher Morris Rob-
ertS came by to say hello to

plans to stick it out, the storm
struck Victoria.

Congressional Record, criti-
cized a story in The Star last
Sunday reporting that he was
making a confidential poll Of
his committee members to see
If they wanted a House vote
on a Senate-passed bill to sub
sidize D. C. Transit for carry
ing children to and from school.
The legislation was held up
when Senator Williams. Re-
publican of Delaware, moved
for reconsideration yesterday.
The Star story was true, Mr..
Mcmillan said. His objection
was that II can see nothing
unusual about the polling OF
the committee, as that has al
ways been done since I have
been a member Of the House
District Committee"
Bills the House sent to the
White House yesterday in
cluded:
Physical Therapists - The
bill provides for the licensing
and regulation of those who
practice physical therapy in the
District.
Gambiing-It provides for the
disposal of gambling equip
ment seized by police.
Buildings-A measure which
permits apartment buildings to
be constructed "in high densi-
ty areas" with more stories. al
though the heighth limitation
would remain at 80 feet.
PenSiOns-A bill which boosts
benefits to widows and chill
dren of police and firemen who
died before 1856.
Passed and sent to the Senate
were these bills dealing with:
Firemen-A bill reducing the
60-hour work week of firemen
to 56 hours. The House added
a minor amendment which the
Senate is expected quickly to
accept. But the measure will
cost the city as estimated $780,
900 this year.
Railroad - Authorizes the
, Pennsylvania Railroad to con-
struct a siding in the vicinity
of First and T streets S.W.
Property - Removes from
. the tax rolls the property at

) the Army Dlstaff Foundation

Army widows. Loss to the city

both of these steps are urgently
needed.
can extension of these pro-
grams should make it possible
for the Congress to make a
careful review of their content
and costs next year. School aid
to Federally impacted areas
could then be re-examined to
update its operation and effect
possible economies. Also, the
increased demands which are
being thrust upon this Nation
make it especially important
that we give consideration next
year to strengthening these
provisions of the National De-
fense Education Act which i'm
proved the quality of education
in this country"
He closed by recommending
the one-year extension.
House Voted Two Years
The House already has voted
for the two-year extension, but
leaders are counting on the
desire for adjournment to
prompt the House to accept
one year if the Senate approves
it.
Senator Morse earlier threat
efned to conduct a four or
five-week seminar" that would
prevent a September adjourn
ment of Congress unless the
Senate gets behind President
Kennedy on the issue of Fed
eral aid to schools.
He said such a seminar" on

aid to education would do men,
bers more good than going off

the widening gap the two pieces
of legislation have created be-
tween the two committees-a
situation which easily could
grow worse next year.
Mr.. MILAN indirectly
criticized the Senate commit
tee for taking its time with
District legislation and then
dumping it too late. He pointed
out his committee meanwhile,
had ushered go bills" through
the House and held hearings on
a variety of legislation which
lasted for 100 hours"
He said it had been a rather
tough" job.
One conference was request
ed by Mr.. McMillan-over q
bill dealing with obscenity laws
But this is yet another case in
which the two bodies are wide
ly apart.
The House had passed a
tough bill on obscenity which
sought to outlaw publications
which dealt among other things
with "intrigues between mer
and women.

stage so far-with little hope
of agreement.
But despite marked differ
ences over controversial legis-
lation, the House did take ac-

ing the Senate had amended
the House Se-Sponsored sales tax
in such a way as to render it
impossible to discuss at this

the Senate had added nine ad-
ditional taxes which would be
impossible to examine.
But Chairman Bible of the

meanwhile, made another try

Senator Bible said he would dc

The United States Weather
Bureau said Carla could touch
off torrential rains in Upper
Texas that would send flood
waters toward the coast.
The Victoria Port Lavaca
area of the coast caught Carla's
full force.
Winds up to ITS miles an
hour ripped through Port La
vaca before the wind gauge
was carried away. The gauge
followed most of the roofs in

no serious flooding was re-
ported.

by Mayor.

He said he sis under pressure

He added that the committee

Pointing out that the sales

twice by the House but has
been delayed in the Senate
Mr.. Mcmillan said:
''If the District Government

Mr.. Mcmillan also charged
that the local press has 'inten

the tax bill. He said this wa
also true of another item in
