EDUCATION BUDGET
OPPOSITION SEEN
Tentative Draft Will Go to
Commissioners of Prince
Georges Tomorrow.
BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, February
25.-Indications that the tentative
Prince Georges County school budget
calling for an expenditure Of about
$4,000 more than last year may meet
with opposition when presented to the
board Of county CONN.,. .onerS tomOr-
row were seen here when a canvass OF
county leaders showed a sentiment on
the part of some to regard money spent
for schools as failing to benefit the
county directly.
A positive declaration was obtained
from one political leader Of the rural
section of Southern Prince Georges to
the effect that the county was not re-
ceiving adequate dividends on the money
it invests in education.
Most Youths Leave County.
This spokesman declared that, in the
majority of instances, as soon as youth
completed his college education he i'm
mediately left the county. Grade school
graduates, who remain on the farm
usually prove more successful, certainly
more beneficial to the county, than the
nigh schoo! and college graduates, in
his opinion.
Parents, rather than teachers, are
lai SCiJ lCSPuiiotbiC 4OT tllc chUuuS Oi
young people from the farms of the
county he said. This, he explained,
was because many fathers, believing
their sons will desert the parental roof
anyhow when they reach 18, try to get
as much work as possible out of them.
II the boys were given portion of the
farm to manage personally and to re-
ceive full share of its profits, there would
be less rushing into cities, the leader
believes.
Conflict Of Ideas Reported.
Other officials admitted there was q
sharp conflict of IDEAS on schou. ex-
penditures within the county, and de-
plored the inability of the rural sections
to appreciate the overcrowded school
conditions N the thickly populated
areas.
In making their estimates for the
coming year the board Of education be-
lieves 1t has allowed only for normal in
crease in enrolment. Furty-one thou
sand dollars of the $4,000 increase
asked represents the amount of equal
ization fee which the county lost this
year.

MACKEY COUNSEL
IN ABATT0|R FIGHT
Former Commemorative At
torney fer Arlington County
Accepts Position.
BY LESTER ". INSKEEP,
STAFF C0rrespOpSnpt NJ THE ctor

ARLINGTON, COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, February 25.-Capt. Gran
dial Mackey, former commemorative at
torney for Arlington County, was today
appointed attorney for the special pro-
test committee against the erection of
an abattoir on Columbia Pike by the
N. Auth Provision Co. of Washington.
It was decided to employ Mackey at
meeting held yesterday by the COM
mittee and he accepted the position to-
day. Due to the fact that he has not
before been officially connected with
the fight, Capt Mackey said today that
he was not in a position at this time
to make statement, but that he would
do SO soon.
Committee to Call on Davis.
Yesterdays meeting was called by
Frank G.. Campbell, chairman of the
committee Following the decision to
employ Capt. Mackey, Campbell ap-
pointed ellison Gardner and Miss Ger
trude Croker, both of Arlington Ridge,
as a special committee to call upon
Secretary of War Davis and urge that
he enter an even more emphatic pro-
test than his last against the abattoir.
Realizing that there are but three
days left in which to complete the
preparation of defense, all of the or
CARNATIONS fighting the proposed plant
were today laying their final plans for
one of the hardest fought battles ever
waged in the county.
The last and perhaps most effective
blow delivered against the abattoir
was the action of the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce. which passed a
resolution urging the board Of county
supervisors to defer action until after
the county had been zoned.
1t had been considered by the adj
vocates of the project as almost certain
that the chamber. being trade body
with expressed views for the industrial
development of the county, would take
action favorable to the project.
Majority in Opposition.
The situation. as 1t now stands, IS
that only two small civic organizations
have taken action as favoring the
abattoir, while the parent organiza-
ton, the Civic Federation, as we'll as
the Arlington District Council of Cit
liens Associations, the Virginia Park
and Planning Commission, the Alex
andria- Arlington Fairfax Real Estate
Board and numerous Federal bodies,
including the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, have either
expressed themselves as against 1t al
together or against its erection until
the county has been zoned.
Efforts are now under way to obtain
a statement from Gov Harry r. Byrd
as to his views on the abattoir, but so
far they have been unsuccessful.
