School Budget
S|ashWeighed
'62 Cut in House
Clouds '63 Goal

With the fiscal 1862 budget
still in Congress, the District
Board of Education was to vote
this afternoon on a record $3.50
million operating budget for the
1868 fiscal year.
The 1868 figure, with adjust
mentS for nonrecurring ex-
penses, was $4.3 million more
than the $54.3 million requested
from Congress for the 1862 fis-
cal year.
Added to a proposed capita
outlay budget of $18.4 million
most of which has been ap.
proved, the entire 1868 schoo
budget totals SIT million, alsC
q record figure.
Yesterday, however, the
House Appropriations Com.
mittee threw a wrench into the
budget works by reducing the
1862 operating budget by some
$637 900.
Since the 1868 budget is based
on the full 1862 budget, both
will have to be readjuSted un-
less the cuts are restored be-
fore final congressional passage
of tie 1862 bill.
The 1862 operating budget il
for the new fiscal year which
began 10 days ago. The 1856;
operating budget is for thu
fiscal year beginning next July
Ratio Again Victim
The chief victim of yester'
days cut appears to be th'
perennial goal of one teacher
for every 30 pupils in the ele'
mentary schools.

Duncan Gets
Commissioner
Nomination
Kennedy Choice
Foresees No
Senate. Trouble

President Kennedy today sent
to the Senate his nomination
Of John B. Duncan for a three
year term as a District Com
missioner.
Mr.. Duncan, whose selection
was announced yesterday, said
he anticipates no difficulty
when his appointment is con-
sidered by the Senate District
Committee.
The 51-year-old recorder of
deeds, who would be the first
Negro Commissioner, said he
had welcomed an FBI investi-
cation into his past.
"I wanted them to do that
he said. I'm perfectly willing
to have everything about my
self known"
Mr.. Duncan has been re-
garded as the top contender for
the appointment since Presi-
dent Kennedy accepted the
withdrawal Of Frank D. Reeves,
also a Negro, two weeks ago.
Mr.. Reeves came under fire
when it was disclosed he had
been delinquent in filing his
Federal income tax and that
there had been eight tax liens
against him.
Would Succeed Mclaughlin
If his nomination is con-
firmed, Mr.. Duncan is expected
to take over the health, edu-
cation and welfare duties of
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin, who was to have
retired June 80. The Duncan
appointment is for three years
and pays a salary of $4,000.
Mr.. Duncan, in an interview,
indicated he has not formed
any decisions on the many
problems Of the District and
said he wants to study all the
facts before coming to any con-
cluSionS. He said he has set no
prioritieS.
Some people think home
rule is the most important
thing" Mr.. Duncan declared,
but others would put it third
or fourth as to Importance"
He has been on record for
many years in favor Of home
rule.
But on fiscal matters, /
would have to see all the facts
before I made a statement on
them," he said. What Is the
most important thing today
might not be important to-
morrow.
II have not campaigned for
this job, but I will do my best
to serve the District as Com
missioner. I certainly do ap-
preciate the confidence the
President has expressed in me-"

The President, mindful of
the fact that Mr.. Ayub has
been firing all along the way
here, tried in every way to in
dicate that the PakiStan leader
is really very much appreciated
here.
Mr.. Kennedy hoped onto

Angler Biddle Duke could make

AS President Ayub went
down the line of dignitaries,
which included brilliantly clad
African diplomats, Mr.. Ken
nedy stayed behind at the
ramp to greet each member of
the PakiStani encourage as
he emerged from the green and
white PakiStani jet.
Mr.. Ayub, a military man
educated at Sandhurst, the
British West Point, inspected
the honor guard with a profess
slonal eye and in markedly
erect and correct fashion.
The President did not in
dulge in the usual platitudes
OF airport oratory. There were
none of the usual references to
traditional friendship" (Paki-
stan is only IL years old or

President Ayub had served
notice in London on Sunday
that he is not about to be put
off with sweet nothings.
Kennedy Talks of Khyber
} President Kennedy began on
a literary note, telling his con-
tentiouS guest of his addiction
as a boy to tales of the Khyber

He assured President Ayub
that Americans "in private and
public life know the value of
friends and the constancy of
friendship" and recalled Paki-
STAINS rallying around during
the Korean War. Winding up,
the President used the word
welcome no fewer than four
times in a single sentence.
President Ayub, in his turn,
spoke remarks that sounded to
some as bristling as his guards
mans mustache. Although less
truculent than in the immediate
past, he made it plain that East
and West have met, and they
had better do a good job of it,

Pi|ing Up at
Virginia Polls
RuruI Vote Slack
As Party Tests
Byrd Organization
By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

~NS@@
A voting turnout ranging
from very light to moderately
heavy in Virginia's four prin-
cipal metropolitan areas was
being recorded in today's Dem
ocratic primary for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and At
torney General. The vote was
slack in most rural areas.
In a battle which will test
the power of the Byrd organi-
zation for control of the three
top offices, the largest number
of votes seemed to be piling
up in the Washington suburbs
and in the Norfolk area.
Heavy Negro Vote
In Richmond, where the
Byrd Observation-Disclosures slate
was regarded as the favorite,
the vote was reported "very
light" for the city as a whole
but heavy in its Negro pre-
cincts. The overall picture in
Roanoke also was that voting
Jagged behind the last primary.
For the first time in any
Virginia primary, two full
states are vying for the top Of
ficeS.
The organization headed by
Senator Harry F. Byrd is back
ing the ticket of Albertis s..
Harrison, jr., former Attorney
General, for Governor: State
Senator Mills E. Goodwin, jr.,
of Suffolk for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and State Senator Rob-
ert Y. Button of Culpepper for
Attorney General.
An anti-organization slate
includes 1t. Gov. A. E. S. Ste
phenS for Governor; State Sem
ator ArmiStead L. Boothe for
Lieutenant Governor, and T.
Munford Boyd, a blind Uni
versity of Virginia law profess
sor. for Attorney General.
Pattern Unclear
The significance of today'S
pattern of voting was any,
body's guess. Polls close at 7
pm. The total vote was ex-
pected to be between $4,000
and 100000.
The Harrison ticket was gen.
orally conceded to have its
stronghold in Richmond, where
voting is light. The Stephens
ticket was regarded as likely
to carry the heavier-voting
Washington suburbs.
In brisk-voting Norfolk, it
has appeared to be a tosSup.
between the two men running
for top office, but Mr.. Boothe
was said to have held the edge
there over Mr.. Goodwin in the
Second-spot race.
Most observers had given the
Stephens slate the advantage In
the Slow-voting area.
Republican Participation
There were some signs of
more than ordinary participa-
ton by Republicans in today's
primary in the nearby area.
In Fairfax County, this was
stimulated by a petition drive
for incorporation. Promoters of
consolidation had urged all
voters to sign the petitions. At
Dunn Loring Elementary
School, some persons identified

ers as Republicans, signed the
petitions. At Dunn Loring Ele-
mentary School, some persons
identified by Democratic cam
paign workers as Republicans,
signed the petitions and then
went inside to vote.

With the calendar creeping

we begin to notice the sum-

first day of school.
Look around your house.
How about its posture? Is it
suffering from sagging slip
covers. droopy curtains, faded
pillows, tired rugs, and is
your upholstery wearing an
untidy Slouch?
Summer is a grand time
to be lazy and easy-going. It
is a time to live outdoors and
not worry about the house.
But with the first sound of

and the first glimpse of fall
fashions in the stores Gin the

tory of the interior of your
domicile.
A dab of fresh paint, crisp
new slip covers, a switch of
curtains and change from
you old wall-to-wall carpet
to a show-more-of -the-floor
rug would do a lot toward
getting you and your house
prepared for the long months
indoors.
1t doesn't have to be a

more of a restoration job.
So do look over the pos

see that its summer slouch
is changed to a crisp new
autumn stance!
