Bills to Ease
JobIess Tux
Move on Hill

Legislation to ease the effect
of a recent expansion of the
Districts unemployment COM
pensation tax on non-profit in
stitutions moved ahead today
in both the House and Senate.
The Districts jobless bene-
fits were expanded earlier this
year to employees of scientific,
educational and literary nom
profit institutions. A number
of these institutions have said
that they have no choice but to
pass on the new unemployment
compensation costs to the pub
lie.
The bill reported out today
would cut back On the length
of time it now takes the insti-
tutions to qualify for a lower
unemployment compensation
levy.
Under the recently enacted
Legislation, the newly covered
institutions, such as George
Washington University and the
Washington Hospital Center
must pay an initial tax of 81
per cent on the first $4,000 OF
salary for each worker for 6
period of between four and five
years. At that time, they
would become eligible for 6
reduced rate. Under the new
bills, this period would be cut
back to about 18 months.

BY DAVE BRAATEN
Star Staff Writer

Asa E. Phillips, a Boston at
torney we'll known in WASH
ington society circles, has be-
come the Magellan of the Bar
Harbor yachting set. He has
just completed the first circum-
navigation of Nova Scotia.
Since the picturesque Cana
dian province is a peninsula
the most striking feature of Mr.
Phillips sailing feat was a 168-
mile portage through the back
woods of eastern New Bruins
wick, no small task with a &C.
foot, 14-ton yacht.
Mr.. Phillips, whose month
long journey ended successfully
last Sunday, set out to find a
more picturesque, less gruelling
route back to Maine for yachts
men who sail northeast along
the coast of Nova Scotia to
Cape Breton Island. In order tC
return against the prevailing
winds, sailors have to tack
some 300 miles between the
coastal reefs and the fog that
is seldom more than 10 miles
offshore.
Evening star., 1962-09-12

It was Mr.. Phillips theory
that it would be far more in
teresting to keep right on going,
through the CanSo Strait be-
tween Cape Breton Island and
Nova Scotia north into the
Northumberland Strait, sailing
west below Prince Edward Is
land to New Brunswick and
portaging over to the Bay OF
Fundy at st. John.
The Phillips expedition &C
tually made the trip in reverse,
using power instead of sail to
effect the nd-bucking leg from
Cape Breton Island southwest.
But this in no way diminishes
the value of his discovery, Mr.
Phillips insists, since the por-
tage could just as easily be
made in reverse.
Accompanying Mr.. Phillips
on the yacht "Arabella" were
his wife, the former Anne
Wight, their three small chill
dren, a nurse. a captain for
the vessel and Arthur Muir
ray Preston, Washington bank
er, and his son Mack, IT. All
of them had the time of their
Lives, Mr.. Phillips reported.

Hospitals Are Cautious
On Sterilization Policy

"All were done for medical
reasons" Mr.. Ians said.
Arlington Hospital proposes
to make no changes in its pol
icy on sterilization because of
the new Virginia law" said
John Anderson, administrator.
Mr.. Anderson said no steril-
iZations have been performed
there.
Laws Silent
In the District and nearby
Maryland, local and State law
is silent on the subject Of
sterilization.
A Montgomery Medical So
ciety spokesman said county
physicians follow a policy per-
mitting such operations only in
cases of medical need-when
another pregnancy would en-
danger a woman's life or con-
stitute a serious health hazard.
The general practice in near
by Maryland. the spokesman
said, is that sterilization oper-
ations may be performed, when
medical need exists, only if
both husband and wife consent
and if two doctors concur in
the recommendation.
A District Health Depart
ment official declared that the
medical need" criterion gov
erns sterilization operations in
Washington also.
In nearby Maryland, the
operations may also be OBJ
tained by medically INDECENT
women at community hospital
clinics. For these patients, too,
medical justification for the
surgery must be attested to.

THE PIGEONS ARE the
worst and boldest. Washing
ton has many pigeon fanciers
who feed them crumbs and
coax them to their laps and
shoulders. But others hold
pigeons in great disdain and
believe they are greedy, dirty
and generally diseased. The
anti-pigeon group advises
giving up the primitive sling
shot and getting an air rifle.
The answer is that there is
no desire to kill pigeons but
to discourage them.
The other day there was
just one pigeon on the tray.
Its tail feathers jutted over
the side. So greedily was it
eating that it took no notice
OF, this substitute Rambler as
he crept under the tray. The
pigeon escaped, but it left
two feathers behind in the
clutching hand. 1t retired to
the nearby coping of a three
story apartment.
1t left other things also,
which Showered on its would
be eaptor's head. Probably
most of it was small grain
from the tray. But there was
some sort of insect on the
pavement and there was a
suspicion there were other
insects, too. The pigeons

face, neck and hands and to
comb his hair vigorously.

MuIter Fails
In Bid to Win
Liquor BiIIOK

Representative Multer, DEM
ocrat of New York, failed to-
day in a new attempt to win
House District Committee ap-
proval of his liquor control
bill.
The measure to revamp the
Districts liquor regulations
had failed to clear the COM
mittee last month by a l2-to-1l
vote and was sent back to Mr..
Multer's subcommittee. This
action appeared to have killed
chances for passage this ses-
sion.
After the August meeting
Mr.. Multer said that he would
amend the bill to make 1t "ac-
ceptable to reasonable men,
At today's closed meeting Of
the House District Committee
Mr.. Multer attempted to bring
up his bill for consideration,
This move failed. however, on
an objection that Mr.. Multer's
subcommittee has not taken
action since the bill was re-
submitted to it. 1t was under
stood that the objection was
raised by Representative
Auchincloss, Republican of
New Jersey.
Mr.. Multer repeatedly plans
to convene his subcommittee
tomorrow. The full House Dis
trict Committee will meet next
Wednesday.
Mr.. Auchincloss and Repre-
sentative Springer, Republican
of Illinois, have led the fight
against the bill.
One of the measures most
controversial provisions would
set a floor for retail liquor
prices. Another section of the
bill would ban economy" ad-
vertisements. Under this ar
rangement, store owners get
together to advertise what GUS
toners may buy from each.
Supporters of the liquor bill
have charged that the city's
liquor law, put on the books in
1884, is badly in need of revi-
sions. Opponents have argued
that Mr.. Multer's bill would
only benefit the big liquor deal
ers and would put an economic
squeeze on the small operators.
The version of the bill
brought up today by Mr.. Null
ter carried some new amend
ments. Committee members
who oppose the bill said after
today's session that the new
amendments do not erase any
of the major provisions that
the opponents consider objec-
ltionable.

Drag Racer
Curb Pledged
BY Arlington

Arlington intends to raise
money to lower the boom on
drag racers.
Irate County Board members
last night vowed to hire as
many additional policemen as
needed to protect residential
areas from teen age speed
addicts.
Chairman Ernest Wilt de-
clared that he is prepared to
increase taxes or even borrow
funds If necessary to pay for
more patrolmen.
He reported that he has re-
ceived a furry of bitter COM
plants from citizens who fear
that children, commuters and
innocent motorists in general
are being imperilled by an in
vasion Of drag racers.
''1f they kill themselves, 1t is
not a matter of any great con-
Germ to me. But I am deeply
concerned about the other peo-
pie they may kill" Mr.. Wilt
said.
While directing acting
County Manager Richard Writ
to determine promptly how
many more polio e m n are
needed, the board also asked
him to advise it about the
feasibility Of imposing a county
wide curfew on juveniles.
Statistics indicate that the
incidence of juvenile delin-
quency in Arlington where
there are comparatively few
low income families, is not
Significantly higher than in
other communities.
But ever since teen ayers
insulted and scuffled with
Astronaut John Glenn last
spring, board members have
been increasingly disguised by
the specific offenses brought
to their attention.
Privately, they express the
opinion that the courts have
been too indulgent toward re-
peatedly arrested juveniles.
Although the cost of en-
ploying more policemen will
not be known until Mr.. Writ
submits his report, vice chair
man Thomas Richards said
expansion of street patrols
probably can be financed fol-
the time being from contin-
gency funds.
No tax increase could be
enacted until adoption of q
new budget next summer.

agreed today that he would not
request a conference with the
House to try for a compromise.
This seems to assure congress
sional passage.
The reduction would cost the
city about $1.1 million for a
full fiscal year and approx
mately $600,00O for the re-
mainder of this year. An addi-
tional 180 men must be put to
work to give the entire force
the reduced working week.
Enough Money on Hand
Senator Bible repeatedly
was reluctant because pay
raises in prospect for all Dis
trict employees may demand
more money than he foreseeS
in District revenue. The
Commissioners testified they
would have enough money.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
oregon, could not attend this
mornings session, but he made
his influence felt. He made
L it clear four other Senators
were with him on the 48-hour
week. So, a conference would
be futile.
Miffed because the District
Committee meeting conflicted
with his long-delayed confer
ence on the higher education
bill, Senator Morse also got
a commitment that District
committeeman would convene
again to consider at least three
more local measures.
Senator Morse warned hi'
colleagues he would object II

IN THE BATTLE against
cats, squirrels and pigeons
the field of operations is a
paved backyard. Around the
edges are garden strips
where it is hoped flowers will
grow. 1t is well fenced.
Before Mopsy succumbed
to a virus she kept out the
cats-emphatically. Now cats
threaten the birds and also
dig holes in the garden and
destroy plants. A neighbor
who owns most Of them said
if cats were unwelcome the
solution was simple: Throw
water on them. So guard was
mounted at dawn one day
and near at hand was a pot
of water. No cat appeared.
Later a friend donated a
weapon that looks like a sub
machine gun and shoots a
thin stream of water about
20 feet. The cat problem is
now somewhat abated.
Squirrels are voracious
eaters Of grain on, the feed

on a bracket which extends
about 3 feet above the 6-foot

they are targets for pinto
beans, care being taken to
hit the rump and avoid the

Hospitals in Northern Vir-
ginia are going slow on volun-
tary sterilization, according to
a survey made yesterday.
The new State law allowing
voluntary sterilization for men
and women was passed last
spring by the Legislature.
Medically INDECENT women have
been receiving sterilization at
their own request at Fauquier
County Hospital since January,
1860.
But many Northern Virginia
hospitals seem to have adopted
a wait-and-see attitude toward
the operations.
Several sterilizations have
taken place at Fairfax and
Circle Terrace Hospitals and at
Warren Memorial Hospital in
Front Royal, Va, officials said
All were done, however, at the
doctors request, to avoid en-
dangering the health of the
mothers.
Strictly Medical
"The only time sterilizations
are done is for strictly medical
reasons. where the health OF
the mother would be endan-
gered in another pregnancy,
said Mrs. Alice Steucke, director
of nurses at Circle Terrace
Hospital.
There have been IS steriliza-
tions at Fairfax Hospital since
it opened in February, 1861,
according to Frank Iams, ad-
ministrator. Forty-nine were
cases brought in by private
physicians, he said. The others
were either welfare or medically
! INDECENT cases.
