The Districts $3.50 million
budget, passed by the House,
went into storage today to await
Senate hearings, probably late
in August.
The money bill rolled through
the House yesterday, attracting
little attention or controversy.
Only Representative Gross,
Republican of Iowa, found some
thing Objectionable in the
bill. He successfully knocked
out language which would have
allowed the District Commits
sioners to negotiate contracts
with private hospitals for the
care of INDECENT patients.
Language Criticized
Mr.. Gross maintained the
language was legislation in an
appropriation bill. Represent
alive hatcher, Democrat of
Kentucky, chairman of the
House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee handling the city's fl
nances, accepted the objection
and said new language might
be worked out later in a con-
ference on the bill.
The subcommittee action in
delaying Inner Loop projects
caused only favorable comment.
Democratic Representatives
Whitener of North Carolina and
Burke of Kentucky applauded
the delay after Representative
Rhodes of Arizona, a member
of the subcommittee, said the
city would now have time to
take a long look" at the prob
lem of providing homes for
persons displaced by the new
freeways.

them oppose maximum fees.
Complaints Filed
Complaints relayed to the
subcommittee by District Off
Gals include these cases:
One woman paid a 1927

of the wages she earned for
five weeks.
An agency employee was paid
only $13 of $500 due her in
salary, she claimed. She
couldn't prove her case because
reports disappeared.
Another agency was used as
a rendezvous for pickup dates

An applicant paid a regis

contracted to an apartment

$4.5 million could be used, he
said, Ito meet the interest on

ditional amounts which may
become necessary for st. Eliza

Warns on Stadium
Mr.. hatcher warned that
D. C. Stadium was not paying
its way and added it may be
necessary to turn the stadium
over to the Interior Department
soon.
The Stadium, he said, will
earn about 100000 this year,
about 100000 short of the
interest it must pay on a bond
issue of $19,800,000.
"One of the Commissioners"
he said. suggested that the
present situation would call for
a tax increase or an additional
amount by way of Federal
contribution.
Under the 1857 Stadium
Act" he continued, ut is to be
turned over to the Interior De-
partment no later than the
year 2007. 1t may be necessary
to make this transfer long
before this time. Under no
circumstances should the tax

cost of this stadium.

On the Seventeenth street

People waiting for buses

The question of why the

planned, Like many GSA

WELL, ANYWAY, I took

liked the place and I was
pleased to hear that the

Perhaps a reason for that
is that no one wants the job

which adorn, If that is the
word, the buildings facade.

The roof is also in the
process of being repaired and
the long unused chimneys
are being restored with cop
per to duplicate the old cast
iron.
But meanwhile, until the
outside blasting and repairs
are done, everyone seems to
be doing his best to keep the
surrounding grounds uni
formly unkempt. Grass grows

spots and adds to the
