The Federal budget holds
promise Of Washington area
residents getting a Walden
Pond Of their own on the banks
Of the Potomac near Madeira
School in Fairfax County.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission in the fiscal
1862 budget asked for 5000, 900
to buy 100 acres of school
property, including picturesque
Black Pond. The acre pond long
has been a favorite swimming
hole for those in the area. It
is springfield and surrounded
by woods.
The Madeira School property
would be an addition to nearby
Great Falls Park. The land
sought is wooded and offers
dramatic views Of the Potomac
River. Black Pond is set off by
rocks and trees and separated
from the river by a narrow
strip Of land.
The Planning Commission
and Madeira School have not
agreed on final price. but the
5000, 900 appropriation is need
ed to move ahead with plans
to acquire the area.
The Planning Commission
also asked Congress to appro-
pirate $1.2 million in fiscal

Sixteenth street NV. and
Fourt street NE.
Down $52 Million
The 1862 budget request for
highway spending falls below
this years figure by some $50
million.
Officials explained that the
reduction is due to cutbacks
caused by depletion OF the Fed
eral interstate highway aid
trust fund, which covers 80
per cent of the cost of inter-
state roads.
Also because Of the shortage
of Federal aid funds, officials
explained, the District will pro-
vide the full amount of the
more than $2.5 million needed
to start the new Eleventh
street bridge and be reimbursed
by the Bureau Of Public Roads
when the interstate highway
aid fund is replenished.
Of the total highway budget

$287 Million Asked,
with Tax Increases

carried over to the forthcoming
fiscal year.
The proposed revenue pro-
gram also calls for borrowing
another $16 million chunk of
the $75 million Government
loan authorized by Congress
beginning July I, 1859. This
would leave $23.1 million of the
SIS million untouched. (The
draft revenue bill also would
permit the city to borrow an
other SIS million for use during
@ 10-year period beginning
July /, 1922
Operating Expenses Up
On the spending side. the
$287.5 million budget would
provide nearly $227.7 million
for operating expenses and
more than $59.7 million for
public works. About $248 mil
lion of the total proposed
spending figure Is in the gen.
eral fund. the city's major
bookkeeping category.
The increase over the cur
rent spending figure, $27.4
million higher excluding the
Potomac River sewer line,
breaks down to about SIG mil
hon for public works and the
balance for operating expenses.
The idea behind the plan to
shelve the $16.2 million for
public works II the tax legis-
lation Is not enacted was to
permit submission Of the total
spending proposals in one
package.
Beginning in 1855, the Com
missioners we're required to
hold their proposed spending
figure to the total that could
be financed from current reve-
nue. sources. The result was
that all proposed budget items
to be paid for Under revenue
raising bills were held back
pending enactment Of the leg
islation.
This situation developed at
the Congress. and the two-part
budget generated additional
fiscal headaches for the city.
District officials felt that the
second submission received un-
favorable treatment because of
the timing and the fact that it
was handled by a deficiency
appropriations subcommittee

1852 million. however, won

proval for a one-package

CityAsks Funds to Start
Two Major Highways

Congress was asked today tt
provide funds for a start or
two major highway projects
the Ninth street expressway
and a new Eleventh street
bridge.
The District Commissioners
requested more than $17.9 mil
lion for highway improvements
in the 1862 budget submitted
to Congress.
The major single item was
for $2.5 million for construc-
ton Of the substructure of the
new span-to be a twin, at
least temporarily. to the pres
ent Eleventh street bridge,
which crosses the Anacostia
River. Total cost of the new
bridge is expected to run about
$8.3 million.
Set for Freeway
Highway planners say the
bridge will be needed to help
handle the large volume of
traffic that will result with
the opening Of the Anacostia
freeway now under construc-
ton. The bridge is expected to
be completed in late 1864.
The Ninth street express
way will serve southbound
traffic headed for the new
Washington Channel and the
Fourteenth street bridges. The
budget includes a request for

Asked for
SunitoryUnit

The Commissioners asked
Congress today to. appropriate
$18,074,000 in construction
funds for the District Depart
ment of Sanitary Engineering
for the next fiscal year.
Most Of the money would be
used to continue the massive
campaign to reduce sewage
pollution In the Potomac River
and its tributaries and prevent
flooding in various areas Of
the city.
However, the request to
Congress is so worded that So
million of the proposed capital
outlay program would be
deferred unless additional
funds are made available by
adoption Of the proposed new
District revenue program.
The largest single construc-
ton item in the departments
budget is $2,809, 900 for Poto-
mac River pollution and
pumping station near the site
Of the Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge.
Total estimated cost Of this
facility Is $7,1i8,000. Bids fol
the initial work were to be
received by the District Govern.
ment today.
This would be part of the
$133 million Project c" pro.
gram designed to expand the
Districts sewerage system ant
to separate combined sanitary
and storm sewers in key areas
For the water distribution
system, the largest proposed
item is $l,3 million for com

The total request for the de-
partment is SAL $4,000, again
the largest on record, compared
to $36.9l0.473 in operating ex-
penses for the current fiscal
year.
The figure includes an in

an increase Of nine jobs. The
increase. according to DR.. DAN

months ago.
The total for operating ex-
penses is in addition to a re-
quest Of $13,123,000 for capital
outlay. This includes $11 ,940,-

come tax bills on the filing
date, effective for the calendar
1861 income year. A firm now
may pay half on the filing date
and the balance six months
later. This change would bring
in an extra 50 million during
the next fiscal period only.
For the current year, the
Commissioners at first had pro-
posed that Congress raise six
tax levies, including those or
cigarettes. beer and liquor. The
Commissioners were to increase
the real estate rate. But Chair
man Mcmillan Of the House
District. Committee backed a
sales tax increase as a Substi-
tute. for the city's package. The
sales tax bill was passed by the
House. but during the closing
days Of the session the measure
was blocked by Senator Morse,
Democrat Of Oregon.
II Congress approves the
city's recommended revenue
program, the Commissioners
plan is to raise the real estate
tax for the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1862.
In the proposed budget, the
Commissioners asked Congress
to vote the city q $50 million
Federal payment-$11 million
more than the District has ever
received for its annual grant.
The authorized Federal pay
ment is $32 million, but in the
current budget, and for the
previous two years, the actual
annual appropriation has been
limited to $25 million.
This time. the Commissioners
are asking not only for the full
authorized $32 million. but also
for a $4 million retroactive ad-
dition-part Of the difference
between the authorized levels
and the money voted by Con.
gress in past years.
In their proposed revenue
raising legislation submitted
last. week, the Commissioners
asked that the authorized Fed
eral payment ceiling be lifted
to $50 million. This means that
the city could receive a total
grant of $40 million during the
forthcoming fiscal year-the
$36 million plus the 81 million
retroactive amount. The chance
that Congress will vote the max
imum amount, however, is mi
croscopic.
Another uncertain factor in
the Districts shaky fiscal posi-
ton involves the current years
budget. The Commissioners will
ask Congress soon to add So
million to the $25 million Fed
eral grant voted for this years
spending. The So million is
needed. city officials said, to
help pay for salary raises voted
by the last Congress and for
public works authorized without
revenue provision.

LAWRENCE p. LIBERTORE JR. is mild
hammered young man of 81. He stands FIVE feet
eight inches tall, weighs 1873 pounds, and spent
pleasant summer in Miami learning how to sell
insurance.
Next Saturday, Ebertore changes from an
insurance salesman into the biggest insurance risk
in the country He is the rst-SrTing quarterback Of
the University Of FlOrid0's football team, probably
the smallest major-leqgue football player. He is also
one Of the best quGrteTbacks in The country.
Last year, as a sophomore, he led Florida's
Gators to the finest football season in the schools
history. Florida won eight, lost two, and defeated
Baylor in the Post-seasOn Gator Bowl.
Little men never have it easy in football. When
Ebertore first went out for football at Miami Edi-
son High School, in Miami, he was stringy l24
pounds. The coach took one look and said, 'Son,
why don't you go home and forget about footbal?''
The boy grew zap
Ebertore didn't go home. Instead, he grew up
to strapping l38 pounds. And along the way he
developed into a crafty psychologist.
1t was matter of survival The Southeastern
Conference, of which Florida is a member, dotes
on football players who regard 2OO-pounder as
underweight. And, too, hulking football players
tend to regard small, successful quarterbacks as
prime targets. But no matter how often and hard
Lbertore is hit, he always tries to be the first up.
II think its lazy to he there doing nothing"
he said. "Bm there's something else. When you
keep bouncing up like that the other team begins
to 'COnder sUhat kind Of guy you are. They start
feeling you're indestrucfibIe. And they get little
scared Of yOu.'
While IbertOre is beguilng the opposition in
this fashion, the physical toll is immense. He
mally is sore from head to toe after game, andhe
usually begins to feel like himself again ON Tuesday.
Physically, Ibertore is as tough as nails, but

in the SEC. Hell be even better this year," says
Ray Graves, his coach.
Little bWf tough
For man his size, Ebertore has had few
injuries - his worst last year was pulled muscle
in his thigh.
The most serious injury Ebertore has ever
had occurred in the summer of 1860 He had taken
construction job as jack-hammer operator to
build himself up. Not only did he fail in building
himself up Che lost four pounds), but to make
things worse a piece of structural scafoldng fell
on him. He suffered painful neck injury but
recovered in time for the 1860 opener.
From now on, he says, he's going to stick to
insurance selling in the summer and football
playing in the fall. Ebertore feels they are both
much safer occupations. -THE END
