MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND-

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7. =
The story Of Washington's tremen-
dOus growth, as a result of the New
Deal and the National Defense
Program, is well known to every
one. In fact, at the rate Washing
ton is growing it looks as if it
would soon catch up to Baltimore.
But still unknown is the prob
ability that the congested District
of Columbia will now push out
into Prince Georges County in
neighboring Maryland with a new
federal building program.
Already real estate agents have
been taking options on property in
Prince Georges County on behalf
of the government to prepare for
this expansion. Prior to this U. S.
Treasury officials in charge of real
estate purchases carefully survey
ed every angle of the territiry
around the District Of Columbia,
and although its not supposed to
be known, have decided that the
fringes of Prince Georges County
just to the east are acceptable to
the government from the stand
point of availability, economy and
traffic.
With the taking of options still
incomplete, no assignment has as
yet been made as to which federal
agency will be housed first in Of
flee buildings on Maryland soil.
But a decision is expected soon.
Behind this program are the
consistent efforts of Woodworking
Congressman Sasscer who long
ago recommended to government
officials that their building program
expand in the direction of Prince
Georges County.

FIRST PERMIT IN
MONTH, FEBRUARY
Fifteen Permits Issued in
january at Estimated
Cost of $16,765

The first building permit in the
month of February was issued to
n. B. Rowe, to convert a two-fam-
lily brick dwelling into three apart
ments, rear of 724 Virginia avenue.
The comparatively open winter,
with the exception of the recent
snowfall, stopped building opera
lions where the work had not pro-
ceeded to the point when a roof
could be placed on the incompleted
structure, permitting wOrkmen to
do certain kinds of work. Where
work was started on the fOunda-
ton first before the recent snow
and had not proceeded much be-
yond the starting point, building
operations stopped and will remain
so until weather permits a resump-
ton.
There is more or less building
along roads leading into Hagers-
town. mainly dwelling houses.
Permits show there are some dOu-
bic houses to be erected and there
is an unusually large number OF
permits which call for alterations
to houses, converting them into
apartments.
The permits issued at the office
of Building Inspector Smith at the
City Hall for the month of Janu-
airy number Is, with a total esti-
mated valuation of $16,765. Now
for month or SO, it is stated, it
is expected that building opera
lions in the city will be slow.
Morris Johnson, who purchased
a barn of John Petrie about a
year ago, along Route II, one and
Ione-half miles of Hagerstown,
is converting it into a shop and
show room for electrical refrigera-
ton machines.

GEORGE AND DEANNA

Senator Radcliffe doesn't often
speak in the Senate, but there's
nothing wrong with his powers of
persuasion. He used those powers
in a warm debate the other day
off the Senate floor. His opponent
in the debate was John Joseph of
Hollywood, and the subject was
Will Deanna Durbin come to Balti-
more or will she not?
Mr.. Joseph, Miss Durbin's pub
licity manager, had promised the
Washington Committee to deliver
Miss Durbin exclusively to the
Capital, without any suburban ex-
cursions. He didn't quite call Bal
timore a suburb, but he made it
clear that the Capital had first
call.
One reason for the Senator's We
hemence was that he had just met
the winsOme lady from Hollywood
and liked her tremendously. In
fact, he took her for ride on the
little subway car between the
Senate Office Building and the
Capitol. Senator Radcliffe sat on
one side of Deanna, and Senator
Caraway of Arkansas sat on the
other, and Vice-President Wallace
helped her into her seat.
Then both Of these senators, and
their secretaries, came with Miss
Durbin to the Vice-President's

covered that their names were
not on the books. Others who
planned to register went to the
polls on registration day but
walked away after waiting in

O'CONOR AND TAXES

Governor O'COnor has been call
ing in his Legislative chieftians in
an effort to make tough fight
against the proposed amendment
to the State Income Tax Law
which would give five per cent
more revenue to the counties and
five per cent less revenue to the
State.
This new amendment has been
reported out by the Senate Finance
Committee and the Governor does
not like it.
At present 80 per cent of the tax
revenue goes to the State and 20
per cent remains with the counties.
The new bill would change this to
Is per cent for the State and Is
per cent for the counties.
AS result of his behind-the-
scenes talks with legislative lead
ers, looks as if the Governor had
pretty good chance of revising
the bill.

nothing unusual about his winning
