D. c. Budget.
Will Request
$263 Million

The Commissioners will send
to Congress this week a pfo-
posed spending program for the
District totaling about 1868
million.
The city's recommended
budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July l will be
submitted along with the Fed
eral budget on Thursday.
The Districts spending re-
quests will be held to the
amount that can be financed
under current revenue sources.
As announced last September,
the city governments total
spending proposals for the next
fiscal year amount to close to
$500 million. But the District
must hold the budget figure to
the amount which can be met
from the authorized sources of
revenue.
The city hopes to win con-
greSSlonal approval this session
OF a revenue-raiSing bill. If a
revenue measure is enacted, the
District then will send to Con-
gress supplemental spending
package geared to the expected
yield from the revenue bill.
The Commissioners state
of-the-N Nations Capital" report,
sent to Congress yesterday,
again outlined the Districts
overall spending plans. The
city's actual budget proposals
for the new fiscal year, the
spending program of about
1858 million, will be made pub
lie when it goes to Capito! Hill
on Thursday.
Last September, the District
Budget Office recommended to
the Commissioners a two-part
program. The first
could be paid for without reve-
nue. increases while the second
hinged on a new revenue bill.

TEN YEARS AGO Mr..
Namias began making 30-day
forecasts. They were not pub
lished for several years-not
until they showed a reliabil-
ity that would have economic
import. For several Subse-
quent years he has been pre-
pairing a 90-day forecast,
which still is not published.
1t is not top secret, not
even classified. He can talk
about it. In December, 1860,
he predicted a severe winter
for this area. We all remem-
ber how right he was. Last
December he predicted that
we would have a mild and
open winter.
He sure has been right so
far. That's why I wanted to
congratulate him.
But I found he had taken
off for the next five weeks
to attend a meteorologists'
convention in Melbourne,
Australia.
Remembering that yester-
day was the fifteenth, when
the 30-day forecast is issued
cit is also issued on the first),
I asked his assistant, Jim
Anderson, to read it.
It predicted that the west
ern Middle West would get
more of what they have been
getting-very heavy winter.
AS for the East, it predicted
normal temperatures and
more than normal precipita-
tion.
Asked if that meant rain
or snow, Mr.. Anderson said:
"We gave that some
thought and then decided to
leave it precipitation At
normal temperatures for
January and February, it
could be snow"

Meters Urged
For Parking in
Georgetown
Agency Proposes
1l0-Cur Site in
Columbia Heights


Parking Agency board made
recommendations yesterday de-
signed to ease parking problems
in Columbia Heights, Adams
Morgan and Georgetown.
The plan for Georgetown calls
far razing the old Georgetown
Market at Potomac and M
streets NV. to convert this site
into a parking lot for 81 cars.
In addition, IL meters would be
installed on the curb at this
location on Potomac street.
The parking agency, which
serves as an advisory body to
the District Commissioners, also
recommended that meters be
installed at all Georgetown
parking spaces now marked for
one and two-hour parking. The
market is now occupied by an
automobile parts distributor.
The agency's committee on
neighborhood parking studies
said meters were needed be-
cause a survey had shown ex-
tensive violations of the present
parking time restrictions.
No action was taken on a
plan submitted by William E.
Shepherd, chairman of the
Waterfront Planning Commit
tee of the Georgetown Citizens
Association, to provide for
parking underneath the pro-
posed elevated Potomac free
way.
Seen as Premature
William D. Heath, executive
director of the parking agency
explained later that the board
felt that it would be premature
to consider the plan now.
Mr.. Shepherd said the plan
was his own idea and has not
been Endorsed yet by his COM
mittee or the Georgetown Citi-
zens Association. Mr.. Shepherds
plan also calls for establish
ment of a skating rink, boat
center, restaurant and other
recreational activities in a park
area to be developed between
M street and the river.
For the Columbia Heights
area, the agency recommended
that a site on the west side of
Fourteenth street between Irv-
ing street and Columbia road
be acquired for development as
a 110-car parking lot. Total
cost of acquiring the property
is estimated at $292, 900.
Also proposed was the in
stallation of meters at 40 one
hour curb spaces on Fourteenth
street, Irving street, Park road
and Kenyon street, and 18C
2-hour curb sapces on Girard
Harvard, Irving, Kenyon ano
Fairmont streets and Colum-
bia road.
Adams Morgan Area
In the Adams-Morgan area
the agency recommended that
plans for adequate parking ir
the area around Eighteenth
street and Columbia road be de-
veloped in conjunction with the
Redevelopment Land Agency
and National Capital Planning
Commission.
John w. Lyon, a member ot
the agency board, voted against
the recommendations approved
by the parking agency.
! Mr.. Lyon. who is president
of the Washington Parking AS
; sociation, an organization OF
parking lot operators, explained
that these recommendations
were a package deal and I am
specifically opposed to the con-
demnation of land proposed to
secure a site for a 110-car
parking lot on Fourteenth street
between Irving street and Co.
lumbia road"

Conflict Of Interest
Legislation Urged
Montgome'
Group Cites
Loon Mixup
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Montgomery County legis-
lators were asked last night, to
introduce legislation in the
Maryland General Assembly to
set up rules governing conflict
of interest for governmental
officials. ...,o
At a public meeting called
by the county's legislative dele
CATION before the opening of
the Assembly next month, sup
port also was urged for reap
portionment of General AS
sembly seats, for a bill to bar
racial bias in places of public
accommodation, and for legiS-
latlon to bar land Spectators
from cashing in on tax bene-
fits set up for farmers in met
ropolitan areas.
Ramsay Wood, president of
the Montgomery Citizens Plan
ming Association, said his group
lis particularly distressed that
Maryland lacks either a law, or
a statement of public policy to
guide elected and appointed
officials in distinguishing pri-
Vate interests from public
duty" He mentioned the con-
duct of Maryland officials "in
connection with the current
savings and loan scandal"
Sees Lack of Confidence
He also said public confidence
in decisions of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
and the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission is less than it
should be because of the private
financial interests" of some
members of the two bicounty
agencies.
Reapportlonment of General
Assembly seats to give the big
counties more voice in State
government was urged by the
Committee for Fair Representa-
ton, the League of Women
Voters, and the County Council
of PTAS.
Mrs. Mary Y. Williams, pres
ldent of the Montgomery chap
ter of the National Association
tor the Advancement of Colored
People, asked support for legis-
latlon to bar racial diScrimina-
tlon, in places of public accom-
modation. for a State minimum
wage laW, and for repeal of
Maryland law which makes
mixed marriages a felony. 2
t Support for the public accom-
modationS law also came from
units of the American Veterans
Committee, the American AsSo-
clatlon of University Women,
and the American Jewish Con-
greSS.
RapS Blue Laws
Darius V. Phillips, chairman
of the Citizens Committee for
Fair Taxation, and several other
speakers urged amendment Of
the "open spaces" law to assure
that only bona fide" farmers
could get lower tax assessments
in suburban areas.
Raymond ]. Hill, jr., sug-
geSted that Maryland'S laws re.
stricting work on Sunday
should be repealed. The Legis-
lative Council has recon-
mended revision Of the laws; to
make them uniform over the
State and in general tighten
them.
Blair Lee III, chairman Sot
the legislative delegation, said
he expected that before the 80.

Winters Not Over

The fog was so thick that
motorists put on their lights
yesterday morning, then
hoped that they would re-
member to turn them off at
the parking lot.
BY noon the fog lifted and
the rain stopped. But at /
pm. there was a torrent and
near hurricane. Fifteen hun
dred or more women who had
arrived to picket the White
House for peace and nuclear
disarmament were drenched.
A violent rain but warm.
The temperature went up to
Sc. The day had started at
S3-one degree above freezing.
Everyone was surprised by
thunder and lightning. We
had everything but a rain
bow.
The Rambler watched the
rain from the window table
in his favorite restaurant. He
wondered would he ever be
able to leave. He was amazed
but not worried.
