Downpour

Although 1t seemed for q
time that the whole Washing

drowned in a deluge of rain,
the area sustained remarkably
little damage as a result of the
downpour.
In the "a hours ended at Z

had fallen, bringing the rain
fall for November to 1893 inches.

and fair skies tomorrow.
On Kenilworth avenue, the
connection between East Capt.

Rock Creek went over its
banks in the area where the

traffic from Beach drive to
Connecticut avenue, causing
further congestion on what is
already a crowded route.

Crime Bill

All principal witnesses testi-
flying on District anti-crime
legislation will be asked about
proposed legal safeguards for
police suspects by the Senate
District Committee.
Committee Chairman Bible,
announced that today and also
called for reports on how con-
LESSONS and criminal insanity

ban Maryland and Virginia
courts.
These two requests for more
information came at the end
Of month-long hearings on all

to curb obscenity. Senator
Hartke, Democrat of Indiana,
win conduct the inquiry on in
decent publications.
Safeguards Proposed
Safeguards for persons ar
rested by police were recon-
mended by the Justice De-
partment and the Board Of
District Commissioners. They
would be added to House
language guaranteeing that
delay alone between an arrest
and arraignment would not
bar from court a confession
drawn from a suspect by police
after arrest.
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner, Police Chief Robert v.
Murray and Deputy Attorney
General Nicholas deb. Katzen-
bach seemed agreed yesterday
on including in the legislation
requirements that defendants
be plainly warned after arrest
that any statements they make
may be used against them and
that they be given a chance to
notify a relative or lawyer.
Another safeguard proposal
that no suspect be held more
than six hours after arrest was
protested by both the Com
missioners and police officers.
Community Division
Citizen witnesses reflected
again today the division in the
community over whether a new
local law is needed to combat
crime.
Alexander L. Benton of the
Washington Bar Association
opposed the entire House bill.
A provision permitting police
questioning and detention,
without arrest, Of suspects
could lead to harassment by
police of the poor and illiterate,
Mr.. Benton said.
But Mrs. Margaret A. Fischer
of the North Washington Coun-
Gil, composed of nine citizens
associations, and John A. Pat
terson of the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association, insisted
on congressional action to pro-
tect law-abiding citizens as
well as persons likely to be
arrested. Juvelines' contempt

S49.7 Million
WSSC Budget
Set Up for "a
Record Program

Present Level
By JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

L ne washington SUBURBAN
S Sanitary Commission today
proposed q record $49.7 million
budget for 1864 that requires
no increase in water, sewer or
refuse rates.
The proposal is S7.S million
more than appropriated last
year. and is the largest one
year jump in 10 years. The
bulk Of the increase is slated
for stepped up construction Of
water and sewer facilities to
serve the agency's 100000 pa
irons in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
The Sanitary Commission
also unveiled q $24.2 million
budget request for the first six
months Of 1865 to abide by a !
new law requiring State agen-
cies and county governments to
operate on q July fiscal year. |
Both proposals will be aired |
at a public hearing at 8 pm.
December IL in the commits
sion's office at 4017 Hamilton
street, Hyattsville. A new budg-
ct becomes effective next Janu-
airy /.
More for Construction
A $24.3 million ALLEGATION for
construction, and increase of
$50 million, will include install
lation of 80 miles Of water
lines, 80 miles Of sewers, and
expansion Of the Potomac Riv-
er filtration plant at Watts
branch from its present daily
capacity of 80 million gallons
to a new 70 million gallon load.
In addition to the $24.3 mil
lion capital item, the budget
proposes $25 million for operat-
ing expenses, and over $500, 900
for redeming bonds. Capital
expenses will be aided by a SIC
million bond sale in 1964-$10
million for general construc-
ton, and So million each for
water, sewer and storm DRAIN
age work.
Expansion Of the Potomac
River filtration plant also calls
for a 10-mile, 66-inch water
line to serve the Cabin John,
B ethesda, Chevy Chase and
Bradley Hills areas in western
Montgomery county at q cost
Of S2.5 million. These sections
now are served by line from
Wheaton storage tanks but
some water taps fail TO gush
during prolonged summer hot
spells.
Damascus Line
Damascus area residents,
whose upper Montgomer
County water wells all but
dried up completely last week,
will see the start Of an ultimate
1901 900 water line running six
miles northward from German
town. The budget proposes
100000 for 1864.
Montgomery County sewer
projects include $429 900 for a
four-mile extension of the
north branch line to Williams
burg Village, and $139. 800 for a
one-mile extension of the
northwest branch line from
Drumeldra Hills to Bonifant
road.
Appropriations for the two
projects do not cover the addi-
ltional extensions the Mont
gomery County Council asked
the agency to consider expedit-
ing to the Sandy Spring area.
The Commission moved the
council-r equested work up
from 1866 to the 1865 work
S C h e dule and they could be
started with money proposed
for the first six months of 1865.
Rates for residents within
the Commissions zoos quare
mile district are Is cents per
thousand gallons Of water, and
% cents for sewer service based
on each 1000 gallons of water
used. Montgomery residents
using the agencies refuse serv-
ice pay So a month.

There were beds of golden
chrysanthemums surround

To make it a real world
championship race it had to
be demonstrated that a
horse could be flown here
and compete successfully de-

climate and racing counter

In 1855 Ballymoss, a beau

even-money favorite. He was

John D. Schapiro, presi-

that would not happen

course were broadened and
banked at great cost. And
the hedge was replaced with

need for scientific investiga-
ton and knowledge - even
new and modernized re-
search facilities - there is a
federal way.
And the National Institutes
of Health is the agency that
opens its eyes, ears, and its
purse to nOn-federal institutions
and individuals who can and
will further the wide-sweeping
cause of the life sciences.
NH refers to the part it
plays in the support of medical
schools and colleges, universe
ties, hospitals, scientific institu-
tons and individuals as its
"extramural program"
Through grants and awards,
the Institutes function to slim
ulate research in medical and
allied fields by making avail
able funds for such research,
and by actively encouraging
scientific investigation of speci-
fic problems on which scientists
agree that urgently needed
knowledge is lacking.
Research project grants con-
stitute the largest portion of
the extramural program. While
the program is geared to give
considerable research freedom,
strict fiscal accountability is
requisite.
While research projects sup
ported by the Institutes provide
secondary training benefits i'm a
research atmosphere, the sup
port of research training and
related activities is a distinct
and separate part of the extra
mural program
Support of research training
does not constitute the primary
source of funds for training
doctors, dentists, nurses and
medical scientists. Rather, it
serves to supplement sums pro-
vided by State and local govern
ments, by private philan-
thropy, and by the families and
efforts of the students them
selves.
There are, in fact, three basic
types of support for training
of research personnel: Research
Fellowships, Research Career
Awards, and Partnerships and
Training Grants.
FelIowships provide personal
support and, In some instances,
for certain additional costs, for
persons engaged In research
training Mt one level or another;
Training grants are mainly
for the purpose of assisting in
stitutions to establish, expand,
or improve their research and
special training programs; also
to increase the number and i'm
prove the caliber of trained per-
sonnet in fields of major inter-
est to NH;
Partnerships provide stipends
In order that individuals may
undergo training in specialized
areas of medical and related re-
search and technology, includ-
ing the fields of public health
and nursing.
Another major activity in the
extramural program provides
grants on a matching fund
basis to public and private non
profit institutions to assist
them in the construction of adj
ditionaI facilities for conduct of
research in the sciences relat-
ing to health.
Approximately $744,777,OOO in
research and other grants will

ritis and metabolic diseases:
SIG million for cancer; SIT mil.
lion for dental; $172 million for
heart work; $122 million for
mental illness; and SGT million
for neurological diseases and
blindness.
Research grants will claim
nearly $496 million of the total
extramural expenditures: re-
search fellowships, slightly over
Sal million; training grants,
approximately $154 million:
State control programs will re-
ceive around sec million, and
nearly $S7 million will be spent
for chemotaerapy contracts.
Some 5000 research grant
awards are made each year as
well as about 5000 awards for
fellowships and training. In
fiscal 1868, $50 million in grants
will be made also for construc-
ton of health research facilities
throughout the United States.
The mechanism for process
ing grants and keeping track of
such tremendous federal re-
search largesse is set up in the
NH Division of Research
Grants. In effect, the Division
is the coordinaitng Center for
the NH extramural effort.
To assure that the grants and
awards programs operate effec-
lively, NH relies on advisory
groups made up predominantly
of leading, non-federal scientists
but including, also, outstanding
citizens from other professions
and vocations.
All awards by the National
Institutes of Health must have,
first, a favorable recommends
ton of one of the nine Nation
al Advisory Councils which
have been set up to represent
the work of each of the nine in
sdtutes; second, they must
have the approval of the u. S.
Surgeon General. The law pro-
vides that the Surgeon Cen
eral may not approve any
award that does not have the
approval Of an appropriate
Council.
Because Of the completely
and magnitude of the extra
mural programs supported by
the Institutes. ali applications
are received by the Division Of
Research Grants. The Division
then assigns them for review
of scientific merit to an appro-
pirate Study Section, Panel, or
Training Committee, or other
group as indicated. At the same
time, assignments of the appli-
cations are made to one or
another of the nine categorical
