The Commissioner said the
need for better job opportuni-
ties and general rehabilitation
is of equal Importance to the
problem of purging the welfare
rolls of any cheaterS.
Mr.. Duncan added that he
hopes the proposals will please
both the entire city and Con-
greSS.
In commenting on Mr.. Dun
cans remarks, Commissioner
Walter N. Tobriner said he
thought the first move toward
curing the city's social welfare
ills should be to try to multiply
the number of job openings.
Mr.. Tobriner said one move
might be to offer some type oi
city tax credit to an employer
who puts one of the unemployed
to work.
The names might be picked

Probe Put Off
Until January

Any public examination of
the District government by the
House District Committee has
been postponed until January
of next year, it was learned
last night.
Late yesterday, Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee held a closed-door
meeting of a special subcom-
mittee he previously had named
to investigate District agencies.
He is co-chairman along with
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat of Georgia.
The subcommittee directed
the staff of the District Com
mittee to look into the activ-
tiles of several District agen-
cieS between now and next
year, according to one source.
One department mentioned
in Saturdays meeting was the
Redevelopment Land Agency.
Left out of the discussion, it
was reported, was any mention
of the Department of Licenses
and Inspection.

The committee received one
letter opposed to the renomi-
nation.
Judge Howard was appointed
Municipal Court judge 10 years
ago by former President Tru-
man. He had been Municipal
Court prosecutor since 1912. r.
Judge Howard, SO, a Negro,
was born at Alcorn College,
Miss. where his father was
president.
He came to Washington in
1915 to attend Howard Univer-
sity, but bad health forced him
to drop his studies two years
later. He went to Denver, where
he operated a butcher shop the
next eight years.
Then he returned to Wash
ington and continued his stud
les at Howard at night while
working as a messenger for the
Justice Department. He re-
ceived his law degree in 1880.
Mr.. Howard continued to
work for the Justice Depart
ment until 1888, when he en-
tered private law practice be-
fore becoming an Assistant
United States attorney.

Duncan Promises D. C..
Welfare Setup Changes

The District has been prom
ised package of new welfare
recommendations by Commits
sioner John B. Duncan.
Mr.. Duncan said his pro-
posalS are aimed at providing
a new concept" of solving the
city'S long-range social welfare
problems.
The city's Welfare Commits
sioner declined to give details.
He said the package proposals
would be made public in about
As days.
The District Commissioners
recently were told by congress
sional appropriations commit
tee confereeS to take a careful
look at the city's welfare pro-
grams. During recent budget
sessions, Chairman Byrd of the
Senate District Appropriations
Subcommittee repeatedly stated
that there were freeloaders on
the welfare rolls.
DR.. Duncan, whose remarks
we're made yesterday on WTOP-
TVS "City Side" program, said
at least some of the welfare
proposals being drafted would
require legislation.

"The jury became another
organ Of the political machine.
Their report was a whitewash,"
he said.
A Maryland Court of Appeals
decision in 1927 states that a
grand jury has the fullest in

to an investigation of violations
of the criminal law, with the
single end in view that the
accused may be brought to
trial"

a grand jury statement can
cover general conditions with

a salutary affect, and should
be permitted as long as they do
not point out individuals as
subjects of public criticism and
opprobrium."

violations or wrongdoings.

The District Guardsmen

Board Ignored Chance
To Aid River Sessions

approval of proposed amend
ments to it's compact which
would broaden it's advisory
jurisdiction, now limited to
pollution reduction, to other
water problems such as supply,
flood control and recreation.
! These amendments already
have been approved by three
members of the six-meniber
Government interstate COM
pact. Those States which have
already Endorsed the revisions
are West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
The other three governments
represented on the compact are
Virginia, the District of Column
bia and the Federal. The COM
mission does not expect any
trouble in getting the District
and the Federal governments
to approve the amendments,
but the Virginia Legislature is
a big problem.
The proposed amendments
to the compact were introduced
in the Virginia Legislature in
1860, but withdrawn after it
became apparent they would
be defeated.
Informed sources say the
compact amendments face a
hard time in the Virginia Leg
islature because of the hostility
of E. Blackburn Moore of Ber-
ryville, Va. the powerful
Speaker of the Virginia House
of Delegates.
Mr.. Moore, a close friend and
political ally of Senator Byrd,
repeatedly associates the COM
mission with the Corps of En-
gineers and their past pro-
posals for high dams on the
Potomac which he opposed.
The commission previously
has tried to correct this i'm
preston in Mr.. Moore's mind
and is particularly eager not
to be linked too closely with
the engineers at this time be-
caues it still hopes that the
proposed amendments will be
passed when the Virginia Leg
islature meets again in January.
If the amendments are ap-
proved, the Potomac River
Commission may blossom into
an agency with a vital role in
multimillion dollar decisions
that will affect the future of
the entire Potomac Basin.

Clarke said, a delay in building
the Three Sisters Islands span
and the Potomac freeway con-
nection would be a severe blow
to the city's highway plans.
This project, he said, now has
top priority in the highway de-
partment.
The rejected Glover-Archbold
connections provide for two
one-lane roadways that would
tie in the road network at the
mouth of the bridge and Reser-
voir road. The National Park
Service has approved plans for
the two road links through the
park land.
Glover-Archbold Park, which
stretches northward to Reno
road, is protected from any
road construction of four lanes
or more by a congressional
freeze on highway building in
the upper Northwest area Of
the city.
Problems Ahead
The main connection to the
bridge on the District side
would be a new Potomac River
freeway, which would tie in
with the west leg Of the pro-
posed "inner loop" freeway
system and, at a later date, to
the planned K street express
way.
Without the Reservoir road
connections, General Clarke
explained, a driver coming over.
the bridge from Virginia would
not be able to get off the free
way until he got to the inner
loop connection.

Park area, just above Reservoir
road.
The Districts 100000 spend
ing request for this item,
half local and half Federal
money, was knocked out of the
budget by House-Senate con-
ferees. At the same time, how
ever, Congress approved spend
ing requests for plans and
right-of-way acquisition for the
bridge and its other District
highway connections.
Delay Is Seen
The rejection of the budget
request for the Glover-Arch-
bold interchange may mean an
appreciable delay in building
the proposed bridge and the
riverside highway connections,
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick ]. Clarke said yesterday.
As matters stand now. Cen
eral Clarke explained. the city
must make this choice:
Delay the entire bridge prof.
ect in hopes that Congress will
change its mind and permit
the Reservoir road connections,
or build now with the knowl-
edge that important traffic
routes are not being provided.
! The cost Of adding the Glover
Archbold interchange at a later
date, after the bridge and its
approaches are designed to ex-
clude these connections, might
cost an additional $500,000,

the jury's action.
A federation committee two
weeks ago completed an eight
month study recommending
charter government to replace
the century-old county COM
missioner system.
While the 23-member panel
did not have a copy of the
report to study, they questioned
county heads and department
officials. They reached the
conclusion that any govern
mental changes needed can be
made within the present
structure.
Call Report "Whitewash"
I'm surprised the jury would
make such a broad statement
without even a copy of our
report or a long-range study of
their own." Mr.. Mulligan said.
Charter supporters believe
the jury comment was a
"whitewash," and only points
up the need for reorganization
of the local government if there
is to be any improvement.
"The jury's support of the
commissioners will not in
fluence those citizens who have
been hurt by coming and are
tired of the buck-paSsing and
failure to meet obligations, 4"
Mr.. Mulligan said.
William j. Abrutis, co-chair-
man of the federation study
committee and a government
lawyer, said the jury "over-
extended itself by going into
political philosophy.
"The jury's job is to in

The Potomac River Commits
sion has passed up the oppor-
tunity to help sponsor meet
ings in November at which al
ternaate proposals for dam
construction on the Potomac
will be presented by the Dis
trict Corps of Engineers.
Why did this interstate COM
mission feel unable to arrange
these important hearings?
"Beacuse the engineers didn't
ask us to help sponsor the
meetings" says the new COM
mission chairman, State Sena-
+ tor H. Winship Wheatley, jr.,
Democrat of Prince Georges
County. That's all I can say
about it,"
Col. Warren johnson, Dis
trict engineer, met with the
commission in closed session
at the commissions conference
last week in Colonial Beach,
Va.
While no formal invitation
was made to the commission,
/ it is no secret that the engi-
neers are looking for appro-
pirate local agencies to help
sponsor the November meet
ings.
If the commission had indi-
Gated it was receptive to the
idea of acting as a sponsor, an
invitation from the engineers
would have been extended.
The engineers. assisted by
several other Federal agencies,
have spent more than 81 mil
lion in the past five years pre-
pairing the alternative pro-
posals designed to ensure an
adequate future water supply
and cope with other water
problems in the Potomac Basin
Now that the proposals are
nearly ready for presentation
the engineers are anxious to
avoid the impression they are
trying to sell a bill of goods,
They believe the alternatives
may be more palatable if they
are presented under the aus
pices of some State or local
group.
However, the Potomac River
Commission feels there might
be some dangers if it becomes
associated too closely in the
public mind with the Corps of
Engineers at this time.
