conditions under which the
elderly live.
Today Charles M. Gunther,
director of the Four Freedoms
Program, sponsored by the
AFL-CIO, led the group of six
who advocated subsidies for
for senior citizens housing.
I'VE recommend the adoption
of a 1O-year construction pro-
gram" said Mr.. Gunther. I'VE
suggest enactment of legisla-
ton to provide completely
subsidized housing financed and
administered by joint action on
the part of county, municipal,
State and Federal government. "
Mr.. Gunther was asked by
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, what had hap
pened to the idea of children
taking care of the parents in
stead of the community as
sutning the responsibility.
Sees Lack of Love
Mr.. Gunther explained that
following World War II fam
lilies have spread out and be-
come more mobile. 4
Fl was wondering if 1t might
not be a lack of family dis
cipline, family love-" Replied
Senator Bush. 1T isn't just a
physical thing; it's a spiritual
matter"
George w. Grier, director of
a study of housing for the
aging by the Brookings 1nsti-
tute, who also called for sub
sides, warned:
without this assistance the
housing problems of the elderly
will not be solved. It is as SIM
pie as that. The general in
come levels are simply too low
for more than a small minority
to qualify for unaided private
housing at present costs"

indicated she sometimes saw
quite a few liquor bottles
around. The relief recipients
said visitors had brought it in,
but the case worked had been
unable to ascertain if the
liquor had been bought by the
recipient and had to take the
word of the recipient"
Senator Byrd said he also
received a letter from a tavern
operator in the city criticizing
the use of relief funds for al
cohol.
Mr.. Shea said the depart
ment had made a study of the
number of checks cashed in
liquor stores in 1852 and found
that for the month of March
1851, 5 per cent of 7,015
checks examined had been
cashed at such stores.
No Check Since so
Mr.. Shea said case workers
would follow through such a
check by keeping an eye on
conditions in the home and
possible maltreatment of chill
dren.
Senator Byrd observed that
since no check has been made

ton on this question exists.

Row Holds Up
Insurance Bill

The question of when a life
insurance company is an in
vestment firm today seemed
puzzling enough to hold up
Senate action on a House.
passed bill amending District
insurance laws.
William L. Cary, chairman
of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, urged postpone
ment of action before a Dis
trict subcommittee, headed by
Senator Beall, Republican OF
Maryland.
The pending legislation would
/ permit life insurance COM
panies which issue variable
annuity contracts to establish
special voting and manage
ment procedures.
The authority to make those
arrangements rests with share
holders in an investment COM
pany, Mr.. Cary maintained
And the shareholders of the
insurance sponsored invest
ment companies offering vari-
able annuities are the "in-
sured" persons who take Out
variable policies, he said.
System of Control Seen
Thus, he said, the bill could
be interpreted as congressional
sanction of a system of control
by insurance companies over
investors with whom they con-
tract, contrary to law as in
terpreted by the Supreme
: Court.
Local insurance firms pro-
posed the bill in an attempt to
clarity conflicting regulations
they might expect from the
District insurance office, or
the one hand, and the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
on the other. John D. Marsh
representing the Variable An
nuity Life Insurance Co., whose
case went to the Supreme
Court, asked presiding Senator
Beall: "As District insurance
companies, we have come here
for relief-where else can we
go?"
Chairman Cary, with another
similar case now before his
commission, said the compli-
Gated problems of regulating
insurance investments should
be settled by commission
? rulings on specific cases first
Then. if the rulings seem tc
justify law amendments, the
congressional route should be
followed.
: Time Uncertain
, Despite demands from Sen
, ator Beall for an estimated
, date of the commission deci-
., sion on the pending case, Mr.
! Cary was unable to say how
long Qualification of issues
might take. Former Senator
Frear, Democrat of Delaware

BY ALTON BLAKESLEE

BERKELEY, Calf, Aug. %.
An East German astronomer
has apparently found an i'm
portant missing link in the
story of the universe.
He detected a great cloud of
seeming dust just beyond the
Milky Way, the galaxy or great
family of billions of stars
to which our sun belongs.
This dusty veil seems to be
not just gas, but a smoke
of heavier atoms also, ranging
in size possibly from the par
ticles in cigarette smoke to
meteors, out of this, new stars
and planets could condense
and come into being.
Astronomers have proposed
that such dust clouds may
exist in the vast distances be-
tween galaxies. This could be
the first discovery of an in
dividual cloud, and it is rela-
lively near the earth.
Theories of Star Formation
DR.. Cuno Hoffmeister OF
Sonneberg in East Germany
described his findings yester-
day to the International AS
Economical Union meeting at
! the University of California
| Other delegates expressed keer
interest in his findings.
BY some theories, new stars
and even great galaxie5 are
constantly being formed out
of clouds of gases and dust

night here, wouldn't want to
be an investigator for any
salary"
Mr.. Shea conceded that there
was too much danger" on
Saturday night for investigators
to work. But they do go into
homes on Sunday morning, he
added.
Are recipients able to
answer questions on Sunday
morning?" Senator Byrd in
quired.
Mr.. Shea said they were.
The S350,O00 cut based on
an anticipated drop in the
rate of increase in public as
Sistance cases, was a new pro-
posal today. The others were a
recapitulation of proposed cuts
put forth last week. Less saw
ings were estimated today
from a revision in the budget
for large families than had
been estimated previously.
New Steps Proposed
Mr.. Shea also had these
suggestions which could lead
to further savings:
A vendor payment plan for
rent and food in the general
public assistance cases. Cen
eral public assistance is given
to those temporarily unable to
work.
Through the vendor payment
plan, vouchers would be issued
to landlords and to grocers,
while relief clients would con-
tinue to receive monthly checks
for the clothing, household and
personal allowances.
Such a program would add to
the administrative costs. This
would mean a reduction in
grants of about 1910 a month
would be necessary to meet
these costs. The average grant
in general public assistance is
about $68 a month.
Mr.. Shea also proposed as a
possible saving a ceiling of $275
per month for any District re-
lief case. A 5000 ceiling was
removed here in 1857, he noted
A $275 cutoff for the rest OF
this fiscal year could bring
$25,000 in savings, Mr.. Shea
reported. But, he said, if the
budget standard for larger
families should be revised
downward. the savings real
lied through imposing a cell.
ing would be insignificant.
Mr.. Shea reported that there
are 110 families now receivinl
$500 or more month.
Needs Emphasized
Senator MCGEE, Democrat o1
Wyoming, said he was anxious
that "the baby not be throw
out with the BATH" and the
relief program hurt in attempts
at economy.
II think there is a welfare
need in the District he re.
marked to Mr.. Shea. Are yol
satisfied the savings you have
projected don't impinge mate,
rally on needs here?"
Mr.. Shea replied that unles
something drastic happens
needs would be met under tn
new proposals.
Senator MCGEE was particu
larly concerned about a possibl
ceiling being placed on grant
here.
There must be a minimum
point where the theory 'cheape
by the dozen runs out" h
said.

Senator MCGEE said the

minder that some stories about
welfare abuses were exagger-
ated.

this past week end was that a
welfare recipient drove up to

said. He told Senator Byrd
that he had investigated and
debunked this and other re-
ports.
Senator Byrd, who has asked
welfare officials to suggest saw
ingS in their budget, said he
wanted to make it clear that
his committee would not ap-
propriate on the basis of ru-.
mors.
Il am glad that Senator Nc.
Gee brought out these points,
the chairman added. They
should be clarified and I want
the record to show that it is
not my desire to cut the well
fare budget at any point where
a cut is not deserved" r
The leagues position, based
on its own study, was that the
local public assistance pro-
gram is inadequate to meet
financial needs of destitute
families and to prevent the
endless cycle of dependency"
Mrs. Richard c. Simonson,
president of the District
League, recommended ap-
proyal of the House budget

of family rehabilitation in the

% (AP).-The golf pro at
Pleasure Island Golf Course
died from a bullet wound in
the forehead and his father
was shot twice late last night
in a mystery Staying in which
more than $6.700 is involved.
Authorities charged an Ari-
zona man, James Virgil Eaves,
81. with murder in the death
of the golf pro and assault
with intent to murder in the
shooting of the pros father.
Officers said Eaves told them
he is a special investigator on

home was Homer Widener, As
His father, Ben Widener.

Sheriff's Capt. Carl Moon
said Eaves was arrested about
7 am. as he was leaving Port
Arthur for Beaumont in a
taxicab.
Capt. Moon said a hotel en-
velope containing $4,000 in $1OC
bills was found on Eaves. He
also had $72O in cash in his
billfold.
Capt. Moon said Eaves iden'
titled himself as a special in
vestigator in Eloy, Ariz., for II
years but did not further iden'
tify the agency or company
for which he works.
Officers would not speculate
on a motive. Capt. Moor

former Senator at the sub
committee when he urged that
the elderly should not be iso-
lated:
"'For just as old men, if
they are wise, take pleasure in
the society of young men of
good parts, and as old age is
rendered less dreary for those
who are courted and liked by
youth, so also do young men
find pleasure in the maxims
of the old, by which they are
drawn to the pursuit of ex-
cellence.'
These words gentlemen were
not uttered in Washington but
in Rome in A BIC. by Cicero. "
In Cleveland, he said, the
elderly were placed in apart
ments adjoining those occu-
pied by families with young
sters.
1.-The children, they kind of
keep you young" he recalled
one of the 73-year-old resi-
dents saying.
: Sees No Disintegration
Prof. Robert w. Kleemeier,
who is of the department of
psychology of Washington Uni
versity, st. Louis, who also
agreed that subsidies were nee
Iessary, denied that Government
support or community respon-
sibility for the elderly means d
disintegration of the family.
IT don't consider it an indi-
cation of family disintegration
in a psychological sense" he
said.
Adrian D. Theobald, presi-
dent of the First Federal Saw
ings and Loan Association of
Peoria, ILL.,, argued that he con-
sidered the elderly to be among
the best credit risks and that
housing for the elderly was a
fertile investment field.

POINT ARGUELLO. Calf,
Dec. 8 (AP) "A rocket de-
signed to set off flares in space

The Air Force said the flares,
not visible to the naked eye,
would be photographed by spe-
cial cameras on land and at

About Is minutes after the

rocket was launched, it had
streaked to a point 900 miles
away and 1861 miles above the

the launching a success. The

power, to be set off at attitudes
of 920 miles, 1,400 miles and
again at 900 miles on the way
