Senate Committee Due to Act
On Full Funds for District
By Harold B. Rogers
The Senate, Appropriations
Committee probably will act on
the District’s 1953 supply bill
about the middle of this week.
Carrying the full sl2 million
Federal payment toward District
expenses, the measure has been
prepared by the Hill subcom
mittee.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama, restored to the bill the $2.4
million cut made by the House.
Many other restorations and ad
dition* to the House bill were
made by the Senate subcommit
tee. The bill’s new total has not
been made public. As it came
from the House the measure car
ried sl3l million.
Among additions to the House
cut measure are $682,000 for high
way and bridge improvements,
and $86,000 for drafting plans for
a new Industrial Home Scnool for
Colored, This school would be
built at the' District Children’s
Center at Laurel, Md. It would
replace the old National Training
School for Girls here.
May Get to Floor.
If the Senate Appropriations
Committee should act on the
measure this week, it would go to
the Senate floor for action.
Meanwhile, the House District
Committee will hold a regular
semi-monthly meeting at 10:30
am. Thursday to take up any
bills ready for action.
Legislation most likely to be
handled by a subcommittee early
this week is a Senate-passed bill
changing controls over practice of
optometry.
The. District health subcommit
tee will take the bill'under ad
• visement and may act on it after
hearlnga last week. The measure i
was debated sharply during two
sessions of the subcommittee pre
sided over by Representative
Davis, Democrat, of Georgia.
Reconsideration Move.
The District Committee may be
confronted with a motion to re
consider its action May 21 tabling
* bill for a non-voting delegate
from, the District in the House, i
Oat member absent when the
Washington News
committee voted down the meas
ure, 8 to 7, was reported last night
as ready to move for reconsidera
tion.
Another House District subcom
mittee will open hearings at 10,30
a.m. Tuesday on the new measure
to reorganize the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The bill, introduced -by Repre
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia, is said to have agree
ment among the .many agencies
involved. It is a compromise on
previous legislation blocked by ob
jections.
Almost ready for final congres
sional approval is legislation to
permit wider use of juvenile court
records, under discretion of the
judge. Passed by the House, the
measure went back to the Benate
for concurrence with minor
amendments. It could be called up
in the Senate this week, if Senate
District leaders agree to the House
amendments. Should the Senate
concur, the measure would go to
the White House.
Rent Bills Pending.
Bills to continue District rent
controls are pending in the House
and Senate District Committees.
The House group is withholding
further action to await decisions
by Congress on National rent
controls. *
A Senate subcommittee has com
pleted hearings on rent curb ex
tension here. Afterwards it was
indicated the subcommitte may
recommend another year of con
trols in a report to the full Senate
District Committee. No session of
the full committee has been sched
uled yet for this week.

cipate in the registration, filled
out. Parent? also are being asked
to get their own individual tags.
Parents not desiring to register
need not do so. However, an ac
companying instruction sheet will
point out the value of the program.
Each child will be asked to re
turn the filled-out card with 50
cents to the teacher. CD officials
explained the SO-cent fee covers
the cost of the metal tag and
chain, the embossing, the key-sort
cards md the automatic file. Of
ficials explained the fee is neces
sary because District funds do not
provide money for these.
Tags to Be Embossed.
From the information recorded
on the cards, the tags will be em
bossed and mailed to the parents.
Parents are urged to fill out and
return the cards promptly so all
pupils will be equipped with iden
tification tags without delay.

two and three-quarters inches long
by one Inch wide, will be sus-
a stainless steel bead

Miller Charges Byrd
Turns Political Aides
Into 'Rubber Stamps'
•y the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va.. May 31.
Francis Pickens Miller flung the
phrase “rubber stamp” back at
Senator Byrd today, charging that
most “Byrd machine” workers are
rubber stamps for the Senator.
Senator Byrd said Wednesday
at Accomac that he was no rubber
stamp for President Truman and
inferred that’s what Mr. Miller is.
Says He Refused Byrd Bid.
Mr. Miller, the Senator’s op
ponent in the Democratic sena
torial primary July 15, disowned
the tag for himself in a prepared
speech before the Clay Ward
Democratic Club of Richmond.
“Years ago I was invited to join
the Byrd machine,” he said, “and
I refused precisely because I knew
that joining the machine meant
becoming a rubber stamp.
“What Senator Byrd fails to
realize is that the people of Vir
ginia are sick and tired of his
turning all Virginians who work
for him into rubber stamps.
Cites 4 Recent Conventions.
“The most perfect illustrations
of this are the four congressional
district conventions which tttve
recently been held. With the ex
ception of a handful of individ
uals, these conventions were com
posed of ’rubber stamps.'
“I never heard of any meeting
of the Byrd party of a Byrd con
vention, or a Byrd committee in
which there was genuine and free
exchange of opinion.
“Everything is arranged in ad
vance. Everything is decided in 1
advance. Everything is fixed in
advance.”
DAR Head to Get Degrees

general of the Daughters of the

Financial News
Slick Schemes Fail; 3 Students
Held in Theft of Convertibles
Three Washington area stu
dents, apparently partial to 1952
Oldsmobile convertibles, have been
charged with stealing two, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
announced yesterday.
Arrested Thursday in Kenil
worth. Md., were John B. Galli
gan of the 3500 block of Tenth
street N.E., 1 and Joseph J, Klein
stuber of the 8700 block of Milford
avenue, Silver Spring. John Ed
ward Collins of Landover, Md., was
arrested Friday in Brooklyn, N. Y.
All are 20-year-old stndents at
Georgetown University, the FBI
reported.
| FBI Gives Account.
I The Federal agents found the
1 suspects with the aid of a sus
picious garage-keeper and Prince
Georges county police. The FBI
| gave this account:
r On April 27, the brand-new con
; vertible of George P. Stevens of
3454 Martha Custis drive. Alex
( andria, was stolen in that city,
i Three weeks later, Chester C.
, ! Merritt of 5320 Rock Creek Church
’ road N.E.. discovered his conver
tible was gone.
The boys’ next step, according
to the FBI. was to consult the (
i Library of Congress. There, they «
learned that Vermont is one of the 1
few States that requires no evi- 1
dence of prior registrations of 1
automobiles for applicants seeking
Vermont registration. Using false 1
names and phony Washington 1
post office boxes as addresses, the 1
youths .sent for and received Ver
mont registrations and tags.
Collins drove Mr. Merritt’s con
vertible to Newark, N. J.. where
he had it repainted, then on to
Brooklyn, the FBI said.
Another Idea Tried.
Galligan and Kleinstuber had ,
what they thought was a better <
idea, however. They smeared Mr. j
Stevens’ convertible with an off- s
color paint and took it to a garage
in Kenilworth, according to the c
FBI. There, they smoothly told
the garage man that the paint a
smears were the handiwork of
some college coeds retaliating for \
■ the recent panty raids at the Uni
» versity of Maryland,
j The youths were told to leave
the car and pick it up Thursday.
1 When they returned they were
1 greeted by the garage keeper.
Prince Georges policemen and
Federal agents.
Galligan and Kleinstuber are
awaiting trial in Baltimore. Col
lins in New York, under the Fed
eral Motor Vehicle Theft Act.
Fighting Spirit
Costs Brooklynite
$7 in Court
Combative spirit which made
him take his case to court cost a
Brooklynite $7 yesterday.
The Flatbush resident, Bernard
Gordon, 43. had posted $3 collat
eral on a charge of parking in an
alley.
He told Municipal Judge Milton
S. Kronheim. jr.. that “a man”
told him he could park in the
alleyway. He also insisted he was
not one “to run away from a
fight.”
Judge Kronheim heard his tale
and then fined him $lO. Mr.
Gordon paid up at the financial
clerk’s office and then returned to
the courtroom, in what court
attaches described as an indignant
manner.
Whatever his demeanor, it
prompted Judge Kronheim to warn
him, “Sit down or I’ll send you
to jail.” He sat down.
