amount equal to what the Fed
eral Government would pay If
it were a taxpayer. But Mr..
Mcmillan said that the Presi-
dents proposal, II enacted,
would lead to demands from
all over the United States for
Federal payments in lieu of
taxes wherever the Government
has installations.
Adding to the uneasiness is the
fact that the $3l million def
cit expected If new revenues
are not provided would be the
most critical in recent years.
Included in this gap between
revenues available now and
planned expenditures are funds
to build badly needed new
schools and to maintain some
present services.

wounded boys. The youth s
planned an outdoors weekend,
at q farm owned by Herman
Newman Of 5000 Thirty-ninth
street NV. the father Of a
Troop member.
Fairfax police said the boys
decided to do some target
shooting after breakfast yester-
day. They apparently used some
guns stored in the house des-
pite past warnings from Mr..
| Newman not to touch them.
Mr.. Newman was not at the
farm but a caretaker and his
wife were.
Douglas, Willard, Keith and
Robert Meranda, IS, Of $500

The weapon malfunctioned
and a part dropped off. Ste
phen told police AS he turned
toward the others the shotgun
part of the weapon fired, hitS
ting all except Robert, accord
ing to the report. Stephen told
police he didn't know how the
gun went off.
Two other boys were horse
back riding at the time and
were not hurt.
Mr.. Newman said he did not
know where the boys got the
ammunition. He said he kept
none in the house.
John j. Badoud, father OF
the hospitalized boy, said he
had no idea that the boys had
guns on the farm. Mr.. Badouo

Districts Revenue Jitters Worsen
As Congress Delays Budget Study

District will again begin the
new fiscal year July l without
final action being taken by
Congress on the city's budget.
AS a result. District expendi-
lures will be held to the same
level as this year under q spe-
cial resolution Congress will
pass to authorize payment Of
city expenses until the fiscal
1864 budget is passed.
Dragging Its Feet
Some District officials suspect
that the House District Com
mittee may be playing "a cat
and-mouse game"
This theory is that the House
committee is dragging It's feet
on the revenue measures in
order to remind the Commits
sioners Of the possible disad-
vantages Of adopting anti-dis-
elimination housing regula-
tons, violently opposed by
some members of the commit
tee.
Another cause Of concern Is
the recent statement by Rep
resentative Mcmillan, House
District. Committee chairman
that he does not believe Con.
gress will pass any Fedora
payment increase for the Dis.
trict this year.

NEW FLOWERS APPEAR
Surratt Grave Offers Puzzle
BY BRIAN KELLY

ing on the plain gravestone
simply says, Mrs. Surratt."
Below, fresh strands of palm.
are twisted around the stones
base, and an artificial plant
with pink blossoms has been
placed on the grave.
Harry L. Mccarthy, super
intendent of Washington's
Mount Olivet Cemetery for so
years, is baffled by the decora-
tions.
Someone, he says, faithfully
tends to Mary E. Surratt's rest
ing place year in and year out.
She was the widow from Sur
rattsville, Nd, who was hanged
In July, 1865, on charges she
took part in the plot to assassi-
nate President Lincoln SO years
ago today.
But today she has had a host
of friends, who are renewing
efforts to clear her name.
Identity Hidden
One of them, it seems, has
found her grave.
"It's been going on as long
as 1 can remember" said Mr..
Mccarthy, who succeeded his
father, the late Michael j. Nc
earthly, as the cemetery super
intendent.
Anyone who visits the ceme-
terry more than once usually
is recognized by Mccarthy, q
close associate said yesterday.
Yet, for ten years he has
sought without success to learn
the identity of the person
decorating Mrs. Surratt's grave
simply to satisfy his own Curl
oSity.
The ported plant Of plastic
with pink flowers. he reported
yesterday, has been on the
grave since last Christmas. The
palm strands were placed there
sometime since last Sunday
Palm Sunday.
Visitor Undetected
In the summers, fresh-cut
flowers appear weekly. Some
times" he added, ut may be
just a poppy"
Mount Olivet's superinten-
dent thinks the visitors may be
descendants of Mrs. Surratt's.
But he finds it strange that
neither he, nor his workmen in
the 85-acre cemetery, have en-
countered them at the grave
side.
Some direct descendants live
in Baltimore.
Interest in indicating Mrs.
Surratt was stimulated again
in recent weeks when a Mary
land Circuit Judge presented
two Of the States Congressman
with q petition asking an Of
fetal review Of the case.
Judge Ernest A. Loveless,
IT., a lifelong resident Of Sur
rattsville-carried on maps as
Clinton, Md.-told Represent
atives Landlord and Sickles,
Democrats, that citizens have
tried for years to correct what
we feel is q great injustice to
a good woman and to our
community as well"
Towns Name Changed
Shortly after Mrs. Surratt's
hanging, postal authorities
changed the towns name to
Clinton.
AS many have argued before
him, Judge Loveless maintains
in his petition that Mrs. Sur
raft and the others accused in
the Lincoln plot should have
been tried in a civilian court,
instead of receiving a military
trial.
A growing number of his
torians have argued that much
Of the evidence duplicating
Mrs. Surratt has collapsed in
the light of subsequent events.
The As year old widow
moved from Surrattsville to
Washington after her husband,
the town postmaster, died. Al
604 H street NV. she kept a
boarding house frequented by
some of the Lincoln conspira-
tors and visited several times
by John Wilkes Booth.
And now someone is keeping
her grave.
