District officials will ask
Congress this week for 50 mil
lion needed to finance pay
raises and other items in the
current fiscal year.
The House Appropriations
Committee started hearings yes
terday on supplemental requests
from various Federal agencies.
It's Subcommittee on Defi-
ciencies,, headed by Representa-
tive Thomas. Democrat Of
Texas, is expected to review
the Districts request by Thurs
day or Friday.
The largest slice of the 50
million is some So million in
pay raises voted by Congress
last year. Included in the wage
increase were classified workers,
school teachers. police and fire.
men.
It is the position of District
officials that the city is unable
TO absorb the cost Of the wage
increases. They are asking
Congress to increase the Fedora;
payment by So million. The
increase, If granted, would mean
a total payment Of 93l million
for the current fiscal year.
While authorizing $50 million,
Congress appropriated only $25
million last year.
Other items In the supple
meutal requests include:
$1l8s000 for the new WASH
ington Metropolitan Transit
Commission, set up last year
to regulate transit fares in the
District and suburban areas.
The money would enable the
city to pay its share Of the
commissions expenses as well

REPORTER
HeideIberqels Shun Modernity

HEIDELBERG, Germany.
Coming south on the auto
balm out of Frankfurt, the
flat farms and vineyards on
the left side leap up into
green mountains which hold
the white clouds mesmerized
on their finger tips. Nothing
moves except a chill breeze
which walks blindly across
the neat farms and feels the
mountains for the passes.
This city, like a fat Platt-
deutScher. sits astride the
Neckar River south of Mann
helm, and is the only town
of 100000 which was not
bombed in the war. Patton's
Third Army took it. AS the
tanks rolled down the valley,
SIS. troops dynamited two
spans of t he old Roman
bridge. This was the extent
of Heidelberg's participation
in the war.
AMERICANS THINK of
Heidelberg as the site of an
operetta called THE Student
Prince" The people here do
not like to discuss it. They
shrug and smile apologetical-
ly. They know the story of
Kathy, the waitress, who fell
in love with the student t
prince, and they know the
lovely tunes.
Ernest LubitSch came here
in 1928 to film the story, and
it was pretty old then. There
is q house on Neuenheimer
LandstrasSe where the movie
was made. Today, it is an
old stucco box and, If one
studies it long enough, the
shutters open slightly and
giggling girls appear at the
windows. They are here to
study languages.
They are too young and
too pretty to recall that
Norma Shearer was once the
beauty Of this house, and the
star of the picture. The
prince was played by Ramon
Navarro, and the autographed
pictures hang on a wall down.
stairs near an old upright
piano.
All Of it is long ago. No
body cares. Along the grassy
banks of the Neckar, stu
dents lounge in the sun with
the girls. and talk of the
uneasy peace and the world
of tomorrow. They do not
wear pill box hats, although
many of the boys on the uni
versity side of town wear
scanty leather shorts and
heavy shoes. They study
hard in the ancient buildings,
but they have no sense of
history.
In the cobbled public square
is a portico in an old build
ing. 1t holds a new pink
statue of a man with his
head down. This is a
monument, built by German

Christians, to all the heroic
dead of the determination
camps. At the feet is a pot of
flaming geraniumS.
That side of the town
moves Steeply up the noun
tain side. up past the Jesuit
Church with its new white
interior. through the narrow
alley to the old Heidelberg
Castle. called SchloSs. It is a
series of hollow ruins, with
green saplings growing out
from between the ancient
stones, but it has a COM
manding view of the town
below and the sun spangling
the river.
The Schloss was built
around 1893 by Prince Elec-
tors, but, like most Ger
manic objects, it has come
to tragic end not once, but
twice. 1t was burned down,
rebuilt. and burned again.
Someone lit the powder in
the shot tower and half of
one rounded side slid down
into a deep moat. 1t stands
there today.
The SchloSs has an old
and ornate stone gate, full
OF stone SnailS and stone
squirrels with nuts in their
teeth. Back in the 18th CEN
tury, a German prince built
it in one night as a surprise
for his lady love.
There are trolley cars with
overhead wires, and a cable
car to carry the lazy and the
fat up the mountain. The
bears are dark and strong;
the local wines are pale and
heady. There is a market
place laden with dewy vege-
tables and, on cool mornings,
blue smoke comes from the
chimney pots on the roof
tops.
ONCE, IN 1898, all of Hell
delberg burned down except
one building. 1t is the Hotel
yum Ritter and it was
standing a hundred years
before the great fire. It is
still standing. And still doing
business.
The SIS. men put the
modern torch to Heidelberg
when they blew the old
bridge in 1945. Heidelbergers
do not want such signs of
modernity. They searched
all of Europe to match the
reddish sandstone of their
bridge. Then they rebuilt it,
exactly as it was.
