Inc PRESIDENT repOrCeQIy CO
to permit needy children of the
District to grow up as useful
and productive citizens.
Specifically, he stressed
strengthening supervision Of
foster home care for children,
homemaker services to help
poverty stricken families raise
their level Of living, and day
care programs so more mothers
may be freed to work and to
hire helpers for their pre-
school age children, it was
learned.
Other Services Favored
Additional supervision and
expanded care for youngsters
at Junior Village, an increase
in the foster family board rates
and an extension of aid to
needy children of employable
mothers also were stressed by
the President.
The "employable mothers"
aid is not the same as a new
Federal program of aid to I'M
employed parents. Senator
Byrd has insisted that he will
not support a change in the
controversial man in the
house" rule, which bars relief
for dependent children in
homes occupied by an able
bodied man.
The Presidents recommen-
dalton would permit the Sem
ator to maintain his opposi-
ton to the man in the house"
rule. At the same time, a new
program to help mothers would
be a step toward the kind of
expanded welfare envisioned by
the administration to help
parents work and children to
be fed.
The mothers program APP
parently would give aid for
children of mothers, for ex-
ample, who have finished a job
training course but are unable
to find work.
Serious Problem Cited
The President is reported to
have said that needy children
of employable mothers who
cannot get work represent one
of the most serious problems
of deprivation in the District.
Many of these mothers are
taking special training and
others are looking for work
with no luck.
Some discover after they
have tried to improve Job skills
that they have lost welfare aid
previously given to their chill
dren simply because they are
not able Immediately to get and
keep a job.
The President was said to
have singled out the above pro-
posals in a summary of five
major areas which had de-
manded a great deal of atten-
ton in his administration. The
five were services to, and staff
ing for, child welfare; foster
care, central administration
and aid for mothers who may
work.
Move for More Teachers
It is understood that the
President did not ask Senator
Byrd, as chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee
handling the municipal budget,
to give special consideration to
any other departments.
But Senator Byrd promised
that he would work to give the
District more school teachers
and policemen. The President,
at that point. repeatedly ex-
pressed his own agreement.
The pledge on school teachers
already has been made good.
Last night, Senator Byrd as
sured School Supt. Carl F. Han
sen he would fight on the
Senate floor for 1888 teachers.
This is A more than school
officials sought. It would bring
the number of pupils per

THE DENISON, named
after a recently deceased
maritime administration re-
search officer who "fathered"
the craft, has two motors.
The big turbo-jet, which is
used when she steps up"
delivers a constant $4,000
horsepower to the shaft
which is geared down to
1000 to 5000 revolutions per
minute.
The screw which turns at
this Enthusiastically high rate
and the foils are based on
studies of the flow of fluids
at the David Taylor Model
Basin near Washington.
I was seated on the glass
enclosed bridge behind the
captain and the first officer,
who sit like pilot and co-pilot
at dual controls. The engi-
neer was at my left.
Only an airplane manufac-
turer, I thought, could pro-
duce a bridge with so many
dials and pushbuttonS and
other controls. It looked like
the cabin of a B-29.
When that greeniSh old
greeter, the Statue of Lib
erty, was off our starboard
bow, Capt. Clarke gave the
signal.
First Officer Dick Dugan,
who was seated at the cap
tain's right began giving
orders. You could feel the
increasing speed and the
lift as the big boat came up
out of the water.
Soon the first officer, who
was steering, was announc-
ing our speed on the public
address system to the guests
in the cabin below. Twenty
eight knots, 48 knots, So
knots - almost go miles an
hour.

THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

The lack Of rainfall has be
come so pronounced that even
the Dutch are worried about our
gardens. The Netherlands Flow
er-Bulb Institute recently issued
q press release urging garden
ers to water the bulb beds so
that the newly planted as well
as established paintings will
have enough moisture to make
root growth before the ground
freezes. Without this help many
Of the bulbs viii not be able to
develop properly for next
springs bloom.
The lack Of moisture In this
area is evident In many ways
the deciduous trees and shrubs
seem to be dropping their
leaves earlier than usual
Drought stricken evergreens'
including some Of the hollies
are shedding their leaves. Many
rose bushes look as though dis
ease had stripped their foliage
but there was little or no evi-
dence Of disease.
One good soaking should pro
vide adequate moisture for the
bulbs but it will take several
good soakings to put the ever.
greens into a suitable condition
for winter. Perhaps there will be
relief before freezing weather
but In the meantime run the
sprinklers until the soil is moiSI
to q depth Of 6 inches or more.
