D. {. Revenue
Measured Goes
ToPresident
Passage by House
Allows Submitting
Of Second Budget
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
Revenue raising measures
for the District cleared Con-
gress today.
The House passed and sent
to the White House the finano-
ing legislation, which increases
the ceilings for the Federal
grant to the District and in
cresSes the Districts borrowing
authority.
Under today's measure, the
Districts annual authorized
payment from the Federal Gov
eminent is increased from $32
million to $50 million.
The legislation also lifts the
borrowing level for general con-
struction to SITS million. The
city has earmarked all of a
S75 million loan authorization
granted by Congress several
years ago.
Today'S action clears the
way for the District to submit
a $40 million supplemental
spending package that had
been Shelved for lack of rev.
enue.
Linked to Revenue
The spending proposals in
the District budget must be
matched by revenue from auth
orized sources. This require
ment forced the city to hold
the budget it submitted to
Congress for the current fiscal
year to about $500 million, and
to set aside the $40 million "B"
budget. pending congressional
authorization of new revenue
measures for the initial budget.
The House has voted for a
1924 million budget. The "B"
budget proposals will be added
before Senate Appropriations
subcommittee hearings next
month.
The legislation approved to-
day merely increases the max
imum authorized amounts for
the annual grant and the Dor
rowing amount. The money
that the city receives as the
eFderal payment and as loans
depends upon congressional
action on appropriations bills.
The legislation reflects some
thing of a compromise between
the financing measures that
had been approved earlier by
the House and Senate as far
as the initial dollar amounts
are concerned.
Takes House Approval
The approved legislation,
however, is in line with the
House version, rather than the
Senate, on the basic approach
to determining the authorized
levels.
The House had voted to stick
with the current method of
setting the ceilings on a fixed
amount basis. The House, how
ever, had voted to increase the
Federal payment to $45 million
and the borrowing authority to
$3.50 million.
The Senate, on the other
hand, had approved the ad-
ministration's proposals to gear
the grant and borrowing levels
to property value formulas.
Under the Senate version,
the annual authorized Govern
ment grant would have been
equal to the amount of taxes
the Government would pay the
District if it paid taxes. This
amount initially would have
been $50 million. The city's
borrowing authority would have
been equal to six per cent Of
the total assessed values of
real and personal property in
the city. This figure would
have been 1925 million in the
first year.

Orval E. Faubus today told fell

Supply Quickly Exhausted
Copies Of Kennedy
Photos Sold In 5 DAYS

All day Thursday and Friday and most of Satlr-
day they Streamed into The Sentinel office for the
Kennedy photo and the reprint of the inaugural
address.
There were older persons and kids and women in
FUR coats and men in work clothes and, in one case
a child leading an old man who was blind-all with
the same idea
Initially, after making the announcement on page
one OF last weeks issue that would sell for Is
cents copies of President Kennedys photo suitable for
framing and turn the money over to the Montgomery
County Association For Retarded Children we had
2oo copies OF the hard-to-come-by Official photo of
the late President
We also had already obtained 1000 reprints of the
inaugural address
BY noon Thursday, it became apparent the initial
supply OF pictures would be exhausted Hurriedly
we sent off for 300 and they arrived Just before
the last of the original 200 had been given out in early
afternoon.
By Friday noon, with people sometimes having to
wait in line, the second batch of 300 almost gone.
A third batch of 500 this time was hastily procured
And still the people came.
BY Monday noon 1000 copies had been sold and
when tried to order more we were told only 100
more were available So we obtained those and they
were quickly sold. Then we sorrowfully told the
people who still kept coming the bad news-there
wouldn't be any more.
total of $185 was raised for the Montgomery
Association of Retarded Children, 1862 Howard Ave-,
KenSington.
If you're good at quick arithmetic you've already
figured out that 1100-the number of pictures sold
times Is cents, the price charged for EACH comes
to only $l65. So why does this story say that $185
raised you're asking?
The answer is simple: good many of the people
who in didn't want their change back when they
gave us quarter, 50-cent piece and even in a
number of cases. dollar bill. They told us to keep
1t and turn it over to the retarded children.

On New Evidence
State Court Committee Studies
Relaxation Of Three-Day Rule

Should the so-called three
day rule in Maryland be
changed? This is the rule
which prevents considera-
ton of new evidence in
M a ryla nd courts beyond
three days after a trial ends.
: The Giles johnson Defense
Committee believes strongly
that it should be changed so
that such evidence can be con-
sidered within two years after a
trial is over.
Such procedure, the commit
tee points out, is followed in
federal courts.
: Judge John B. Gray, Jr., chair
man of the Maryland Court of
Appeals standing committee on
rules of practice and procedure,
has some reservations about
whether the rule should be
changed. But he has promised
the Giles-J Johnson Defense Com
mittee its request will be given
''the most careful considera-
ton"
A principal problem that con-
Germs Judge Gray is what he
calls "a definite concept in the
common law system that there
must be an end to litigation"
Lawyers pleas for new trials
could slow the administration of
Justice, he implies, and he cites
in letter to Mrs. Howard F.
Ross chairman of the Giles
johnson Defense Committee,
tthe antipathy of the public to
the laws delay"
"By adding this additional
safeguard in the relatively few
meritorious cases that might
develop" he declares, I'VE may
be opening the door to many ap-
plications based on little more
than wishful thinking and tend
to destroy public confidence in
the prompt and effective ad-
ninistration of criminal justice.
after ALL" he adds, "the law
abiding citizens of the commu-
nifty do have a stake in this"
Possibility of such delays is
q real one, Mrs. Ross conceded
IN a reply to the jurist. But she
added: Gas to the public reac-
ton to the laws delay we be-
lieve that like principles apply.
The public also has an adverse
reaction to miscarriages Of JUS
tice, a fact which accounts for
the existence of our committee
and the widespread support
which it has received"
"As a group of law-abiding
citizens" she said, 1--WE feel that
the public's confidence in the
administration of justice will
be enhanced by allowing a rea-
sonable opportunity to present
f1ewly-discovered evidence of a
substantial character.
Furthermore" she added, "in
such cases the defendant will
almost inevitably be serving his
sentence so that the hearing Of
the motion will not delay pun
ishment if the motion is with
out merit.
"And, of course" she contin-
