A Senate Rules subcommittee
today heard testimony in sup
port Of the proposal Of Senator
Pastore, Democrat Of Rhode
Island, to set aside four hours
each day during which Sena-
tors would have to discuss the
pending business.
Under existing rules a Sena-
tor may make a speech on any
subject whenever the spirit
moves him, and there is a gen.
eral belief that this explains
why only a handful Of men,
bers remain in the chamber
during most of the day.
Senator Monroney, Democrat
of Oklahoma, testifying In sup
port of the Pastore amend
ment, said people sometimes
ask, where are the Senators?F
He said the answer is they
don't want to listen to a lot Of
CUFF that is really for home
consumption"
Thirty-one Senators have
joined Senator Pastore in spon.
soring the new rule, under
which extraneous speeches
would have to be made either
before or after the four-houl
period Of germaneneSs.

Mrs. Litwin works with teen

Settlement houses desperate

Girls and boys who make

UGF Boycott

Employees of the National
Labor Relations Board have
been urged by some fellow en-
ployeS to boycott the United
GiverS Fund campaign be-
cause several UGF-supported
agencies practice discrimina-
ton.
Officials Of the NLRB, how
ever, have countered with a
memo suggesting that contrib
utors can stipulate that their
contributions not go to the
agencies in question.
The original boycott sugges-
ton came in a petition signed
by more than 200 of the $50
persons employed at the board,
a spokesman said.
The petition listed these
UGF agencies as discrimina-
tory: The Alexandria and
Prince Georges County Boys
Clubs, the Silver Spring, Falls
Church, Mclean and Jelleff's
activities of the Boys Club of
Greater Washington; the Alex
andria YMCA, the Children'S
Home Society of Northern Vir-
ginia, and some activities Of
the Salvation Army.
A UGF official said today
that the Children's Home and
the Salvation Army are no
longer discriminatory in their
programs.
the officials said a special
committee has been working to
end discrimination in the
handful" of agencies. The
committee has been asked to
report It's results at the Novem-
Der meeting of the board of the
Health and Welfare Council,
which approves UGF support.
I'm confident the whole
matter will be resolved then"
Council President Alvin j.
Steinberg said today.

BOYS MEMORIAL
Pet Collie
Lives On
In Painting
BY THOMAS. F. DIMOND
Star Staff Writer

When Ike died last August
is. Mickey Goodman was be-
side himself with grief.
Ike was Mickey's collie, who
had been in the Goodman
family longer than Mickey,
who is IL.
Ike was a dog who was
fond of children but would
bark his head off at strangers.
He spent most of his life in the
yard of the Goodman home at
3404 Taylor street in Brent
wood, Md.
The day Ike died was Mrs.
Goodman's birthday. Mickey
called Snowden-N e tt Produc-
tions, q commercial art firm he
had found listed in the tele-
phone book, and said he want
ed a painting Of Ike to give hi
mother as a birthday present.
HE seemed to have q pretty
winning way on the phone,
George w. Snowden, president
of the firm, recalled yester-
day. After I could tell he was
just a kid I said, Well, Mickey
those things are quite expen-
sive. How much do you think
you can pay?' He told me he
could go as high as four or five
dollars"
When Mr.. Snow d en- asked
Mickey what he had in mind,
Mickey replied, He was a big
dog, so I'd like a big painting"
Mr.. Snowden and Mickey
agreed on a price of $3.50, and
Mickey said he would begin
saving money he earned as a
carrier boy,
It took Mickey a month to
save the money, about the
same time it took illustrator
Phil Colprit to do a 26-by-2O
inch oil painting of Ike from a
photograph and Mickey's des-
cription.
Yesterday Mickey and his
father, Glynn Goodman, went
to the firms office at 5217
Wisconsin avenue to pick up
the painting.
Mickey remarked that the
painting looked Just like Ike,
and said the best place to put
lit would be right over the fire.

who know about the applica-
ton fear that if it is granted
the floodgates to high-density
development along the park
way would be opened.
1T will be a trip to Mount
Vernon through 'high-rise-
ville,'" she said.
Staunch political support
was voiced last night for re-
coming opponents.
Il am adamantly opposed to
apartments in this area" said
John P. Parrish, the Mount
Vernon district member on the
board Of county supervisors.
Il don't care what the appn-
cant's plans are. AS long as
I am on the board, / shall dc
everything I can to defeat it,
This rezoning," the Demo
cratic incumbent added, would
have b terribly adverse effect
on the community"
Issue Termed Crisis
Mr.. Parrish's Republican OPP
ponent in the November S cleo
ton, Robert L. Fitton. in a
statement in San Francisco
where he was on a business
trip. said that he has asked
County COP. Chairman John
B. Mcdonald to issue an i'm
mediate "call to action" to all
Republicans in the crisis"
Il have pledged that there
will not be another Merrywood
on the Potomac River" Mr..
Fitton said. IT will stake my
political future on saving the
scenic area of WaShington'S
home. :"
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, said that
while the coming was strictly
"a matter for the Fairfax Board
of County Supervisors" he did
feel the proposed apartment
development represents a
threat to Federal interests"
He indicated a willingness to
reintroduce legislation borne
of the MerTywood battle that
would authorize the Secretary
of the Interior to acquire land
from Mount Vernon to Great
Falls where impending develop
ment was Judged to be a
threat to Federal interests.

Inc appllcaC1On ways filed In
the county planning office
September 10.
No date has been set for a
public hearing before the Plan
ming Commission.
The applicant, Charles M.
Fairchild. of 5 Daybreak court
in the Hollinbrook subdivision
near the site, is seeking CRMH
zoning-a relatively new CLASH
fication that permits limited
commercial activity within the
buildings to serve apartment
residents.
Now zoned RE-0.5 for single
family dwellings on half-acre
or larger lots, the land is
located across the parkway
from Morningside drive in the
wellington Heights area Of
Mount Vernon Magisteria.
IAsAotAASes
VIII Cost SS5 Million
Mr.. Fairchild said the $35
million development he en-.
visions will be "the most lux
urious apartment project ir
the Washington area" - six
110-foot buildings on a prop
erty holding he expects to en-
large to so acres.
A planning concept new to
the Washington area is pro-
posed. Mr.. Fairchild explained
with II acres of underground
parking that would double as a
fall-out shelter. Five acres OF
the garage roof top would be
an ice skating area. Ten acres
would be sodded for golf course
and horseback riding facilities
Plans also call for the deep
ening of a natural cove" or
the riverfront for a sailing ma
rina.
Mr.. Fairchild described his
property as swamp-land lying
some IS feet below the park
way. Extensive land-filling
would be required for any de-
velopment. he said, but the
economics are such that one
would be unable to develop the
land as it is presently zoned.'
Residents MObilizing
Residents of the Wellington
Heights area, however, already
are mobilizing opposition.

area we're alerted last night

tit is our opinion" said Mr..
Herman, that this is a well
rounded budget that will ade-
quately meet the basic needs Of
the District of Columbia. The
new and improved services al

However, the proposed budg-

However, since Congress has
not completed action yet on
appropriations for this year,
the Department of General Ad-
ministration budget officers
d ecided they could not wait
any longer to disclose the re-
Communications for fiscal 1865.
The Department of General

that the public should be given

view the proposed budget be-
fore a public hearing is held on
the document at 10 am. No.

possibilities could avoid a gen.
