Francis Thompson
It's not a long long time
from June to September and
too often July has passed
unnoticed.
A time for splashing in the
surf and summing on the
beach. A time when the
horn Of plenty pours berries,
fruits and tender vegetables
onto our tables.
Cdrpe diem (grab time by
the forelock) becomes more
important with the passing
of the years.
So I telephoned Gilbert
Campos, fruit and vegetable
buyer for Giant, and offered
to go shopping with him.
Fine" he said, meet me
at the Raleigh Thursday at
$3.50 am.
"Then we will drive to the
Northeast market"
On the way out, he said,
1--WE do most Of our buying
by telephone, carload lots
from the West Coast, car
loads or truckloads from
Eastern areas"
Il go to the market once
or twice a week largely to
check prices and the quality
of produce coming in from
various areas.
These big city markets are
dying and it's the chain
stores are doing it. Baltimore
used to have a fruit and
vegetable auction. That closed
five years ago. Philadelphia
still has one but its volume
is way down."

WHILE 4 IN THE morning
Is an inconvenient hour 1t is
likely to be the most COM
Portable one in summer. The
temperature had reluctantly
gone down to 70. The dark
ness made candles of the
street lights in the market.
Quiet absorbed the noise
of the big trucks which
numbered and doomed through
the market streets.
We met Alton White, a
local commission merchant
seated in a comfortable
chair, a walking stick by his
side. He was q victim Of a
recent automobile crash. He
n, was cheerful.
First, local tomatoes are
here" he said waving at a
couple of baskets on the
sidewalk.
"Only two bushels. They
were snapped up at $40 a
bushel. Try one"
We hesitated about tasting
anything so expensive and
already sold. But the Adam

Georgia tomatoes are about

"They are consigned to John
Spiver who is said to be the
largest watermelon dealer IN
the world. He doesn't buy
them; he finds a buyer. Want
to try one?"
So we raided Mr.. Spiver's
watermelon patch. Delicious!
Along the row of commits

Berry. He opens his estab-
lishnnent at 2 each morning.
"I've been on the market

The legislation passed by the
House had been reported out
by the House District Commit
tee, and was sponsored by the
committee chairman, Repre-
sentative Mcmillan. Democrat
of South Carolina.
Several Democratic members
of the committee made an
unsuccessful fight for House
approval of the legislation
offered as something of a COM
promise between the admins
tration's proposal and Mr.. Nc
Millan's bills.
The compromise legislation
would have maintained the
fixed Federal grant and bor-
rowing ceilings. rather than
the administrations formula
type measures, but would have
increased the annual grant to
$50 million and the borrowing
authority to $225 million.
Attending today's subcom-
mittee session were Senator
Bible and Senator Beall. Of
Maryland, the committees
ranking Republican member.
The third subcommittee MEM
Der, Senator Mcintyre. Demo-
crat of New Hampshire. was
out Of town.
Action Due in Week
The revenue bills pending in
Congress are authorization
measures only. The actual
amounts of money that the city
receives depend upon congress
sional action on appropriations
bills.
Approval by Congress Of the
new revenue measures would
clear the way for the District
Commissioners to submit addi-
tional spending requests.
The full Senate District COM
mittee is expected to take ac-
ton on revenue measures in
about a week.
Senator Bible, Democrat Of
Nevada, said today's action is
"a step in the right direction"
for meeting the Districts cur
rent and long-range revenue
needs.

Fund Bill
For District Backed
Senate Unit Acts
On Revenue Plan
Tied to Tuxes
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star staff Writer

A Senate District subcom-
mittee today approved President
Kennedy's money-raising meas
ures for Washington.
The propose legislation
would tie the city's annual
authorized Federal grant and
its borrowing authority to prop
erty values in the District.
The administration-b a cked
measures would:
l. Set the Districts maxi
mum Federal payment at an
amount equal to taxes the Gov
eminent would pay the city II
it paid taxes. The annual figure
would go from the current fixed
$32 million to $50 million this
fiscal year.
2. Establish the city's borrow
ing ceiling on the basis Of an
other property-value formula.
The borrowing level would be
equal to s per cent Of the COM
bined assessed value Of real and
personal property in the Dis
trict. This would increase the
maximum from SIS million to
$225 million.
House Differs Do"
Today's action by the sub
committee, which was expected,
conflicts with recent House
action on revenue legislation for
Washington.
The House passed legislation
to increase the annual Federal
payment to a fixed $45 million
level and to increase the city's
borrowing authority from SIS
70 $3.50 million.
Senator Bible, chairman OF
both the subcommittee and full
committee, said he would ex-
pect that the full committee
would indorse today's action by
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommit-
tee. He added that he GER
tainly hoped that the Presi-
dents proposed legislation
would win Senate approval.
With the House having taken
q different approach. it APP
pears that the key decision on
the financing measures will be
made by House-Senate con-
ferees.
