Kennedy Asks
S38 Million
More for D. t..
Asks Congress
For Added Funds
In B. Budget
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy today
asked Congress to permit $38
million more in spending this
fiscal year for the District,
primarily in public works.
The money would come from
$l8 million more in Federal
payments, $12.8 million in Fed
eral loans and nearly So million
in District tax revenues.
But a big hunk of construc-
ton work-about 81 million
would be delayed until 1865.
With congressional permission,
these contracts would be let
but the bulk of spending would
begin in the year starting next
July /.
These White House requests
make up a second, or "B"
budget for the city. The House
already has approved a first,
or "a" budget, of $284.3 mil
lion, with a $50 million Federal
payment.
S4S Million Sought
Today's bid brings the total
spending request for the city
up to 1929 million. The total
Federal payment proposed by
the President is $48 million,
just So million under the $50
million authorized last month
by Congress.
District Commissioners, how
ever, put their total, two
budget figure at $327.6 mil
lion. This figure includes
amendments offered today to
the first budget as submitted
by the President. Budget Of
ficers said they could not
break down this money total

prepared for Senate hearings.

study to the items included in

Democrat of West Virginia,
who heads the Senate subcom-
mittee handling city spending

Senator Byrd said all de-

needs and anticipated revenue.

New Wallace Order

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Sept. 9
(AP).-State troopers sent into
action by Gov. George WAL
lace barred Negroes today
from public schools at Birming-
ham, Mobile and Tuskegee
which the Federal courts had
ordered desegregated.
But Alabama's color bar
riers in public education at the
elementary school level fell for
the first time when two first
grade pupils were admitted at
Huntsville.
The indignation Of four
Huntsville schools was COM
pleted when another first
grader and a junior high school
pupil entered.
In a series of pre-dawn execu-
tive orders, Gov. Wallace had
directed that segregation be
maintained at Birmingham,
Mobile and Tuskegee. There
was no official explanation Of
his silence about Huntsville.
Guard Units Alerted
He also alerted National
Guard units at Birmingham,

Troopers in the three cities
where segregation was MAIN
tained-at least for the time
being-read copies of the Wal
lace orders to the young
Negroes when they arrived for
classes.

Summary of Complaints
Interviews with customers
figuring in the court suits
brought these complaints:
A 29-year-old mother of five
finds her own hair falling out
after buying a $217.50 wig.
A young clerk in the Selective
Service System is forced to pay
more than $700 for two in
ferior wigs she later sees sold
for $3.50 a piece at party in
her own home.

Washington woman loses a
$186 court judgment after be-
ing advised by a wig company
to tear up a summons.
A woman broker files a suit
against a wig firm when she
finds little red sores breaking
out on her head.
A socially prominent Vir-
GINA woman sues when re-
peatedly given the run-around
and refused a refund.
A Department of Commerce
employe is sued for the balance
due on a bargain wig, which
is so dissheveled she cannot
wear it.
Wig Not Right Color
The mother who finds she
is losing her hair came in con-
tact with a smooth, fast-talk-
ing wig salesman the same
way many women have: at a
wig party.
There, she picked out a wig
she liked-a $217.5O model-an
signed a promissory note for
that amount. She was told she
could pick up her wig within
a few days.
She did so, but was shocked
to find the wig they insisted
was hers appeared to be diff
ferent color from the one she
selected.
