The District Budget Office
today recommended a cut OF
more than SIS million in the
Welfare Departments request
ed budget for fiscal 1864.
The office in the larger OF
the proposed budgets submitted
to the Commissioners, suggested
that the Welfare Department
operate on $23,717,567 next fis-
cal year instead of the $685.
462, SAC it had sought.
Even though the budget Of
flee report reduced the number
of welfare positions by 1873
from 1929 to 2,631-this was
an increase of 265 positions
over those approved for fiscal
1868. Approximately SO per cent
of the new jobs are required
to staff new buildings at D C.
Village and Junior Village. the
budget office said.
Further decreases in public
assistance payments were rec
commended by the budget office
because it expects the relief
case load to continue to de-
crease, apparently because OF
the cleanup ordered by Sena-
tor Robert C. Byrd, Democrat
of West Virginia, chairman OF
the Senate District Appropria-
tons Subcommittee.

Kennedy Puts Almond
On u. S. Court Bench

President Kennedy today an
nounced a recess appointment
of former Gov. j. Lindsay AL
mond, jr.. of Virginia to the
United States Court Of Customs
and Patent Appeals.
The recent 87th Congress adj
journed without acting on Mr..
Almonds nomination which, it
is generally believed, had the
tacit disapproval of Senator
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia.
Mr.. Almond, a longtime sup
porter of Virginia's dominant
Byrd organization, fell into dis
favor with the Senator over
the public school Indignation
issue. Under Gov. Almonds
leadership, Virginia abandoned
the policy of massive resist
ance"-a phrase coined by
Senator Byrd-and turned to a
more moderate approach which
has permitted indignation.
Mr.. Almond, a former Roa-
noke Husting Court judge, will
serve in the $25, 500-a-year post
at least until the end of the
next session of the Senate
either a special or regular ses-
sion. If the Senate confirms
the appointment, he will serve
for life. If it fails to confirm,
the President can make a
second recess appointment and
he could continue to sit. with
out pay, but any subsequent
confirmation would restore his
pay retroactive to the date of
his second appointment.
Stumped for Kennedy
During President .Kennedy's
election campaign, then Gov.
Almond actively stumped for
the Democratic ticket at a
time when Senator Byrd was
maintaining a much-publicized

At his home in Richmond,
Mr.. Almond said, II am very
grateful to the President for
this expression of confidence.
I will accept the appointment
and will get on the job as
quickly as possible. I win dc

He served as a member of the
House of Representatives from
the 9Th district from 1916 tc

the Byrd organization, he re.
signed from Congress to become

Funds to List
Blind Pass
Budget Test

The District Department of
Vocational Rehabilitation will
receive funds for the establish
ment of a register for the blind
in 1864, according to a recon-
mendation of the Budget Of
flee.
The budget office proposed
to the commissioners today
that the rehabilitation unit be
allowed $3.50, 849 for its opera
lions next fiscal year. Til, de-
partment had asked $787, 500.
The record of the blind would
provide reliable information as
to the number of persons need
ing service, their ages, adj
dresses and the nature and de-
gree Of their visual impairment.
Also recommended for the
next fiscal year were new re-
Mobilization facilities such as a
residential training program
budgeted at $11, 900; an esoph-
ageal speech training program
and an improved rehabilitation
unit for the multiple disabled
adoleScent.
A halfway house for the men,
tally retarded was rejected by
the budget office.
The specialized rehabilitation
facilities for special groups was
necessitated by the tremendous
changes in the detectives and
methods of vocational rehabili-
tation resulting from research
in medicine, psychology, So
cial work and education, the
budget office report said.
The budget 'office recon-
mended that the agency con-
vert its reporting system to au-
tomato data processing for
more efficient operation. A re-
cent management survey of the
departments fiscal and statis-
teal procedures indicated the
need for improvement, the
budget office reported.

exceed that of neighboring
jurisdictions.
The Budget Office estimated
unofficially that, in any case,
a tax increase of at least Sc
million will be needed next
fiscal year to finance an ade-
quate budget.
The total of budget requests
submitted by District depart
ment heads for the next fiscal
year had amounted to $34S
million.
Failure to obtain the $34
million for the second budget
would have the following re-
suits, according to the Budget
Office:
Pupil-teacher ratios in the
public schools would have to
be increased. The new Evans
Junior High School and the
Camp Simms Ele m en- tary
School could not be opened be-
cause, there would be no funds
for teachers and other staff.
Two new br an'c h libraries
Capital. View and Palisades
could not be opened.
l- Police Would Be Hit
The number of Metropolitan
Police would have to be re-
duced from 1900 to 1854 ir
order to provide funds for man
datory items.
No additional children coult
be admitted to Junior Village
and some patients at d. c
Village would have to be trans
ferred to District General Hos
pital, where their care .woult
be more costly.

will hold a public hearing Of
the dual budget November
in Room 500 of the DistriC
Building, Fourteenth and

THE COLLECTION, full Of
sunlight and warmth and
humor, includes a self-por-
trait by Paul Gauguin, the
successful Partisan stock
broker who had to paint.
After deserving his family
and business he had done
the portrait on the door Of
a cupboard. Over the big,
crude head of the artist he
satirically circled a halo and
then placed in the clumsy
hands the serpent of evil.
There is another Gauguin,
finished before he fled to
Tahiti, which is.a landscape
of Brittany and is delicate
and beautiful.
A badly crippled man, his
crutches squeaking as he
swung from painting to
painting, stayed some time
before the work of Henri de
ToulouSe-Lautrec.
The faces quickly sketched
on cardboard by the French
man, a cripple, are incredi-
BILE and you can remember
them for sometime after
ward.
Indebted to the French
men, The Rambler eventu-
ally passed outside and
watched the fountains and
looked up at the Capitol
through the trees.
Sometime later, at a res
taurant up the hill from the
gallery, he wondered what
Toulouse Lautrec migh t
have done with the interest
ing faces.
There was an Air Force
officer who sat alone for a
long time over his coffee.

1.-THE Founders"
On a table was a guest
book where visitors had
written their names and
hometowns and had added
a few remarks about the
gallery.
A man from Germany
could not resist temptation.
He had written: 1--WE Euro
peans do have great artists. !"
An American had written:
1.-THE water in the drinking
fountain is very cold"
A man from New York

be financed from available rev.
enue sources and a second one
that could be adopted if ways
are found to raise the extra
$34 million.
Under the first budget vital
District services would have to
be slashed.
The Budget Office described
the city's revenue situation as
more critical than has existed
in any recent fiscal year."
D. P. Herman, District budg-
ct officer, said that even the
second budget would be par
simonious" and would require
deferral of most Of the planned
improvements in city services.
Acute Shortage
The acute revenue shortage
is. in the Districts general
fund, the city's major book
keeping category, which covers
such activities as health and
welfare, schools and libraries.
The Budget office said that
the refusal by Congress to per-
nit the District to borrow an
additional SIS million and the
cost of the pay raises granted
to District employees were re-
sponsible for the fact that the
city lacks funds for the barely
adequate second budget.
3 Steps Urged
Three steps were recommend
ed by the Budget Office to
provide the needed $34 million:
/. Renewing the request to
Congress for a Federal loan OF
at least SIS million. If Con-
gress approves, $40 m illio n
could be used next, fiscal year
for the capital outlay program
and only $14.5 million in addi-
tional revenue would be needed

The

-. Escapes
For Awhile
BY JOHN McKELwAY


1t was possible for awhile
yesterday to forget the So
Wet ships headed for Cuba.
The Rambler found the
National Gallery of Art
looking its best in the slant
ing rays of the October sun.
There we're not too many
people. Flocks Of school chill
dren shuffled in and out of
the galleries and were sur
prisingly quiet and even in
terested. A man sat alone in
one of the two fine gardens
on the main floor and read
a newspaper. The air was
cool and clean.
A WON IN, about so,
seemed nervous before Sal
vador Dali's remarkable The
Sacrament of the Last
Supper. She had scurried
into the room and appar-
entity had made frequent
trips there before.
After a time Of pacing
back and forth she sat down
and said to a stranger:
ut does seem to make you
feel you are there at the
table"
She pulled out a reproduc-
ton from an envelope and
matched it with the original.
"Of course it's not as
good" she said. "But I think
the Sisters would like it. It
will make a nice present."

Hay Can Be
Cash Crop

Ideas on how to grow high
quality hay as a cash crop in
Delaware are offered In a new
bulletin issued by the School of
Agriculture. University of Del
aware.
The bulletin--''Horse Sense
About Hay, Extension Bulletin
78-- is based on research made
possible through grant from
MIR. and Mrs. George T. Wey-
mough, Greenville, Del, and ad-
ministered by the University of
Delaware Research F oundation.
Field studies and feed in
vestigations were conducted for
five years at the Weymouth farm
and stables near Middletown,
Del, "to determine the market
potential and to develop pro-
duction and marketing tech
niques.
Over 1000 tons of hay were
grown, processed andmarketed
during the tests on the l80-acre
farm. The average price re-
ceived for 800 tons of alfalfa
and alfalfa grass hay during
three-year period was $43.89.
This returned met income over
costs of $3.50 per ton. Alfalfa
yields averaged 4-l/2 tons per
acre for a net return of about
$45 per acre.
Other research data COM
bined with down to earth pro-
duction, harvesting and market
ing information are reported in
the bulletin.
Authors are w. H. Mitchell,
assistant extension agronomist;
E. N. Scarborough, extension
agricultural engineer; and w.
T. McAllister, extension farm
management specialist.

from the Department of Rural
Communications, University of
