Great Storm Botters
Cities of North Europe

HAMBURG, Germany, Feb.
II (AP).-One of the century's
worst storms lashed Northern
Europe with hurricane force
winds and raging seas today,
killing scores in Germany alone.
Floods made tens of thousands
homeless.
The death toll in Hamburg,
Germany's greatest port, may
exceed 100, reported the West
German television network.
More than 10000 persons
were evacuated from flooded
areas of the city and hundreds
of others still awaited rescue
hours after a 115-m.p.h. storm
smashed bikes along the Elbe
River.
At least six persons were
killed in Bremen by floods and
gales and two others in East
Germany. In a d dition, II
deaths were reported in the
storm in Britain and two others

in avalanches in Switzerland
and Austria.
Angry seas smashed defen-
sive bikes along a 400-mile
stretch of the North Sea coast
from Holland to Denmark. The
waves inundated huge areas of
farmland, caused millions of
dollars of damage, left many
ships in distress and scores of
villages isolated.
Paralyzed communications
made it impossible to assess the
full scope of the disaster i'm
mediately.
New gale-force winds of 10
m.p.h. were reported in the
Hamburg area while hundreds
of isolated families sought re-
fuge on their roofs in pouring
rain, awaiting rescue.

Congress Halls Echo
In Fuss Over Absentees

House meeting was forced by
Mr.. Gross. Gags" on debate,
the Iowan said, implied too
heavy a work load to justify a
free Friday.
The 87th Congress enters its
sixth week tomorrow with a
record of action completed on
three national bills. Members
have changed the name of a
California harbor from Playa
del Rey to Marina del Rey,
regulated Du Pont stock dis
tribution and given the Vet
Grams Administration some
money.
| No District bills have cleared
Congress. But there is hope for
a three-year-old tax bill on
the brink of passage. A confer
ence report was voted through
the Senate by six members and
the House may get to the
measure this week.
But neither House District
Committee Chairman McMil-
| Ian nor Senate Chairman Bible
could confirm plans. They are
! in their home States. where
they face primary opposition
/ in the fall elections.
Conscientious Mr.. King re-
minded the leadership in his
letter that an 1856 law docked
the pay of all absent members
unless they or their families
were sick.
On Friday, Mr.. King was I'M
available for comment on pos
sible enforcement Of the for
gotten law. He was in Utah.

More Snow Seen
For Area Today:
Mercury to Drop

Washington seems likely to
get some snow this afternoon,
for the 10th time this month.
The Weather Bureau fore
caster said two snow areas are
moving eastward from Kansas
and Nebraska and should reach
here sometime in mid-after-
noon. He said last night it was
still too early to attempt to
predict the depth of the new
snowfall.
Potentially, the oncoming
snow is riding in the van of a
bigger disturbance than that
which brought Washington,
Maryland and Virginia a light
blanket of wet snow Friday.
Most of that was gone by yes
terday as temperatures reached
the middle 40s.
The temperature will reach
about IS degrees today until
the snow arrives and then dip
to about 80.
The new snow is expected to
end early tomorrow and a clear,
cold Monday is forecast.

District Will Ask
100000 for
New Relief P| an
Work Training,
Child Care Seen
Aid to SeIf-HeIp

The District commissioners
plan to ask Congress for close
to 100000 to finance two well
fare programs - day care and
work training.
At the same time, the Com
missioners have voted against
extension of the city's relief
program to families where the
father is able-bodied but I'M
employed.
The decisions by the Com
missioners were taken at a
closed conference Friday. The
Commissioners now are putting
together a second budget"
for the forthcoming fiscal year
which is to be sent Congress
after action is taken on pend
ing city revenue bill.
At Fridays budget confer
ence, the Commissioners also
discussed a compromise propos-
al to seek partial restoration of
the cuts in grants to large
families.
! Seek Restoration
The idea is to ask Congress
to restore the relief cuts made
late last year to the larger fam
lilies, but let the reductions
stand for the families with
fewer children.
The cuts were made in the
monthly grants in the aid-to-
dependent children category
after Senator Byrd, chairman
i of the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee which deals with
District finances, urged an
economy welfare program. The
reductions were So a month to
a family with four children and
81 more for each additional
child.
There was no firm decision
made by the Commissioners on
this matter, it was reported. But
there was talk of seeking res
toration of the cuts for families
with more than six children.
! The Welfare Department now
is conducting a special study
on the impact of the relief cuts
to these families.
Seek $293,OOO
AS to the major new pro-
grams, the Commissioners de-
cided to ask Congress for au-
thority to spend $293,O0O in
city money-$100,000 for the
day-care program and $193, 900
for a work-training project.
One of the Kennedy admins
tration's new welfare proposals
is to provide matching Federal
grants for the program to give
loW-income working mothers
money to pay for their chill
dren's day care.

Better BUILDING
Designs Urged
U. S. Report Asks
New Architecture
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star Staff Writer

A committee of top admins
tration officials will recommend
to President Kennedy that mod
ern American architecture be
used in new Federal buildings.
In an effort to upgrade the
quality of future buildings. the
committee, set up by Mr.. Ken
nedy to study Federal office
space needs, has drafted an
architectural policy to guide
the Government in its choice
of building designs.
The policy calls for an end
to initiating architectural
styles, such as the classical
Greek.
Instead, Federal buildings
would reflect the best in mid
Goth century architectural
thought.
Special attention would be
paid to Incorporating regional
architectural traits to reflect
the traditions of the regions
housing the buildings.
Building designs also would
depend on the characteristics
of the streets and public places
surrounding the chosen site fol-
a building. Where possible
buildings would be located to
permit a generous landscape de.
velopment.
AS a further encouragement
to the arts, a modest portion
of the cost of each new Fed.
eral office building-not more
than l per cent-would be ear.
marked to buy works of arr
to be incorporated in the gen.
eral design. Emphasis would be
placed on the work of living
American artists. Competitions
among artists for commission
would be encouraged.
The comm ittee warn.
against developing an officia
architectural style. 1t warns
the design must flow from the
architectural profession to the
Government and not vice versa

Monday. but reliable sources

ing part of the income tax
program left to him by former
Gov. j. Lindsay Almond. jr.
Virginia does not now with
hold any State taxes from in
come.
Gov. Harrison's recommen-
dation would raise about $27
million more during the next
two years without increasing
the tax rate on incomes, if it is
approved by the General As
sembly.
Wider COverage
More effective collections by
reaching taxpayers who now
escape the levy would account
for SGT million of the new
money. The remaining 5000
million will be a one-time
"windfall" representing collec-
tions in the first quarter OF
1868 which otherwise would not
be received until the following
fiscal year beginning July /,
1868.
Gov. Harrison turned down
his predecessors recommends
ton for a change in exemptions
because that would have
amounted to a tax increase for
families with fewer than two
children. The Almond plan was
to allow 5000 for each adult
and each dependent child. Pres
ent exemptions are $1,000 fol
each adult and 5000 for each
dependent child.
By discarding the suggested
exemption change, Gov. Harri-
son gave up SIT million which
went into the $1.4 billion AL.
mond budget to keep it in bal.
ance. The budget bill provided
for $579.3 million in genera
funds supported by regular
tax sources) including an un.
appropriated amount of ST.:

an irregular path this after

mated at 2.s million shares
compared with 3.oSo.00o yester-
day.
Several companies showed

man instruments. IT&T fell
a fraction although the COM
pany reported better earnings.

all gained fractions. Among
the mail order-retail issues,
