IsConsidered

The board Of directors Of the
Health and Welfare Council Of
the National Capital area will
meet on Tuesday to consider
asking that q special $4,000
drive be started to provide aid
to families made destitute
through loss Of work during
the severe winter.
At the meeting, the HWC
will consider recommendation
for the drive, but the final de-
cision will have to be made BY
the United Givers Fund.

director Of the HWC, said the
meeting has been called after
the Salvation Army, Family
and Child Service, Catholic
Charities, and the Jewish So
cial Service Agency all asked
last week for more money for
food and fuel for stricken
families. The groups said If
the council could not provide
additional funds, the UGF
should be asked to conduct an
emergency appeal.
The four agencies only asked
for $4,000, but Mr.. Seeman
said this is a "minimal figure" :"
and very close to $4,000 will
be needed"
The meeting will be held at
1880 am. in the Community
Building. 1101 M street NV.

District Despairs ofGetting
Joint Hearing on Needs
Mcmillan Coils
Such q Meeting
Waste of Time
BY JOHN M. McKELWAY
Star staff Writer

AN4O4AAA8SN
Star staff Writer
Any hopes District officials
held Of stirring up widespread
congressional interest In the
State Of the Nations Capital"
message were written off last
night.
District officials reported they
had Cancelled further attempts
to obtain o forum before the
Senate and House District
Committees.
The decision marked the
second year in q row that at
tempts at . joint session Of
the two District committees
have failed. Four years ago
members Of both committees
turned out to hear the Com
missioners state the city's prob
lens and needs. Three years
ago, o similar meeting was held
but attendance dwindled.
'Waste Of Time"
Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat Of South Carolina,
said last week he felt such q
meeting was q waste Of time
and pointed out that each
member Of Congress already
had received q copy Of the Com
missioners' annual report.
Still, District officials expect
to see o joint session Of the
Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
Of the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees.
This would bring together
the two Smiths who will play
q large part in handling Dis
trict financial legislation
Representative Howard Smith,
Democrat of Virginia. and SEN
ator Benjamin Smith, Demo-
crat Of Massachusetts, ap-
pointed to President Kennedy's
place in the Senate.
Representative Smith said he
is in favor Of such o meeting
in that 1t avoids "a lot Of fool
ishnesS" and saves time"
Mr.. Smith, however, has not
been selected to head the House
District Committees Fiscal At
fairs Subcommittee. Mr.. Nc
MILAN has indicated. however,
he probably will hand out COM
mittee assignments this week.
Budget Tie-in
The legislative program Is
closely tied in with the fiscal
1862 budget. It asks Congress
to raise four taxes. vote q $36
million Federal payment-$1l
million more than the city has
ever received-and authorize
additional borrowing.
Mr.. Mcmillan is behind one
segment Of the legislative pack
age-the sales tax boost, which
would raise an estimated 50
million. He has not. however,
committed himself on the other
tax increases, involving beer,
alcohol and cigarettes.
On the question Of the Fed
eral payment, Mr.. Mcmillan has
indicated he would prefer to
wait and see how the House
Appropriations Committee deals
with the requested $36 million
Federal payment contained in
the budget.
Congress has authorized q
$32 million Federal payment.
But for the last two fiscal years,
only $25 million has been ap-
propriated. The $36 million
request in the budget is based
on what the Commissioners feel
is due the city retroactively.
Whether the House District
Committee or the House Sub
committee on District Appro-
priations moves first on the
Federal payment question is
uncertain.
Delay also is indicated by
the absence Of Representative
Rabaut. Democrat of Michi-
gan, who is the chairman of
the subcommittee.
Mr.. Rabaut. hospitalized az
ter the campaign, is still alb
sent from Congress although
members Of his staff say he
is expected back shortly.

By JOHN LAWSON

The parents Of an Arlington
boy jailed for participating in
| q sit-in demonstration here
plan to take legal action to win

Mr.. and Mrs. George T.
Brumback, Of 1877 North Edge
wood street, Arlington. said
they would see q local lawyer
on Sunday in the hopes that
their son, Terrell, along with
five other demonstrators could
be released.
The six StudentS-four white
and two Negro-were jailed
Monday on trespassing charges
arising out Of q sit-in demon
stration at Q local drug store
last December.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brumback
visited their son this morning.
They said the youth told them
that the students would agree
to early release provided it did
not compromise their position.
The students are cheerful.
Mr.. Brumback said. and are
receiving q large quantity Of
mail.

Sentenced to 80 days in jail,
with the Brumback youth
were: James e. Hunter, 10, Of

dolph- Macon Women'S College:
and Barbara A. Thomas, 81.
and Kenneth E. Greene, %,
both Of Lynchburg. who are
Negro students at the Virginia
Theological Seminary and Col
Ilege.
Mr.. Brumback said he had
talked with q number Of
Lynchburg residents as well as
Presidents Of Northern Virginia
who felt it might be possible
Ito get the students out Of jail.
I'VE feel that the only way
we can get them out is to con-
vince the court that 1t is very
imperative for them to con-
tinue their school work." he
said.
Mr.. Brumback said he had
received between SO and go
telephone calls and Q great
number Of letters since the stu
dents were jailed. ALI were
| friendly, he said.
Fears Are DispelIed
"At first I felt this might
hurt my sons future" he said,
but since receiving all those
calls. I have changed my
mind"
Both Mr.. Brumback's son
and the Hunter youth are de-
scribed by Lynchburg College
officials as superior students.
The two Randolph-Macon girls
are honor students.
The students are all in prison
uniform and retire at Z pm. to
rise at 5 am. The Hunter youth
has been teaching arithmetic to
a prisoner, Mr.. Brumback said
His own son has discussed the
sit-in demonstrations with sew
eral prisoners and has con-
vinced them that integration Is
morally right. Mr.. Brumback
added.
Meanwhile several dozen
friends Of the jailed students
showed up during visiting hours
today, some bearing books,
candy and mail. but all were
turned away.
JailerS said only near rela-
tiveS and clergymen could see
the students. When several Of
their friends walked around to
the side Of the jail and began
conversing with them through
a second-f floor window q jaileI
chased them away.

Senator Monroney, De m o :
crat Of Oklahoma. predicted to-
day a hot war between Russia
and the Free World probably
will never occur because Soviet
Premier KhruShchev will not
want to see the industrial prog
resS he has made in the Soviet
Union reduced to radioactive
rubble.
He said the real war between
the East and the West is the
economic struggle for world
trade, and that Russia has
made oil its chief weapon in
that war.
Addressing the merican
Petroleum Institute in Chicago,
Senator Monroney said this
contest for the oil markets of
the world called for a partner
ship between the Government

and the oil industry in this
country.
Diplomacy must be mar
shalled in support Of American
oil companies" he said. "A
steady flow of intelligence on
Soviet maneuvers must be pro-
vided to the industry. Tax
policy must give every possible
assistance to American COM
panies in meeting Soviet prices.
Senator Monroney said oil
must become non-partiSan and
this country must outgrow the
"childishness" of making the
oil industry "the whipping boy
of liberals"
He added that the obligation
for making changes is not one
sided and that the oil industry
must overcome the childishness
Of being the treasury of the
conservatives.

81 Billion Rise
InFarm Income
Ry the AssoclsisI pr,s.

Secretary of Agriculture
Freeman said today the first
year of the New Frontier has
clear implications for improv-
ing the future of the Nations
farmers.
Opening the Agriculture De-
partment's annual Economic
outlook Conference, Mr.. Free
man recalled that a year ago
the forecast for 1861 was given
at a similar conference in
these words:
I'm view of the supply, de-
mand and price-support out
look. cash receipts from farm
marketings and realized net
income of farm operators in
1861 are expected to change
little from the 1860 level"
Mr.. Freeman said this was
a gloomy forecaSt-gloomy be-
cause it offered no hope for
improvement Of an average
income that was less than half
of the national average, and
gloomy because it indicated no
expectation of a halt in the
downward trend of farm in
come as compared with nom
farm income.
But, as you know, this
gloomy forecast did not ma
terialize." the Secretary said.
ut did not materialize be-
cause Of action taken by this
administration. Realized net
farm income this year will be
a billion dollars more than the
1860 level of Sill billion"
Mr.. Freeman said the goal
of equality of economic oppor-
tunity for the farmer is an in
tegral part Of the New From
tier.
The four-day conference is
being attended by land-grant
college and university farm spe-
cialistS as we'll as Agriculture

A new approach to the Gov
ernment's Embarrassing for
charity was announced today by
the Civil Service Commission in
a move to make the program
more effective and at the same
time protect the rights of Fed
eral employees.
John Macy. jr., csc chair
man, said the commission in
tends to seek the broadest'
possible participation in and
support of private voluntary
agencies by the Federal COM
munity on terms that are COM
patible with the rights of en-
ployes and the effective con-
duct Of Government operation"
Mr.. Macy announced the
creation Of an advisory council
composed of top national lead
ers in voluntary health and
welfare work.
He also announced a new
co-ordinating committee COM
posed Of Government employe
union leaders and Federal
management people to advise
and assist in problems arising
from the charity contribution
drives. Mr.. Macy said this
group would work closely with
him on all phases of fund
raising problems.
Fund-raising drives in the
Government until this year
operated as part Of the Exec
utive Office of the President.
This year the function was
transferred to the csc.
There have been numerous
complaints from Government
employees that they have been
pressured by their bosses and
supervisors into making higher
contributions than they wished
or could afford. On the other
hand, some of the nd-raising
groups have felt that Govern
ment workers as a group should
contribute more than they
have.
The problem is a difficult
one and the csc finds itself
in the middle. BY creating the
advisory council and the CO.
ordinating committee, the COM
mission hopes to resolve the
problem to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
The advisory council will be
composed of Gen. Alfred
Gruenther, president of the
American Red Cross; Irving
Duffy, president. United Com
munity Funds and Councils OF
America. Inc; Mrs. A. Felix
du Pont. jr., president, National

same as 80 years ago. That con-
trast points up in simplest
terms the reasons behind the
$500 million Project Beacon air
traffic control plan.
Another indication Of the
magnitude Of today's air-trafflc
problem is the air space or
elbow room needed for each
plane.
In the skies over the United
States there are about 294 COM
Tnercial jetliners. Because of
their 600-mile-an-hour speed.
each must have 1900 square
miles of sky 1000 feet thick
for It's own exclusive use.
If they were all in the cir
at the same time. they would
require a total of 352 800 square
miles Of reserved air space.
Forecast for 1875
Project Beacon notes that
civil and military flying in this
country is expected to increase
about A per cent by 1875 and
the share handled by the air
traffic control system will in
crease 800 per cent in the same
period.
The special group found that
the present control system is
being expertly handled by :
