BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March
11.-Prince Georges County Board
of Education today submitted pro-
posed s672 ,635 budget to the county
commissioners.
The new budget asks an increase
of s31 900 over last years ALLEGATION
the chief increase being due to sal
aries totaling s39,700 for additional
elementary and high school teachers
However, cuts were made in various
other items. including a $4,000 de-
crease in new buildings and ground
improvements.
In letter to the county commits
sioners, Nicholas Orem, county
school superintendent, pointed out
that the budget has been made on
the assumption that the taxable
basis of the county will be increased
$4,000 900, adding that the budget
drawn up on this basis would give
a school tax rate almost identical
with that of the present year.
Additional $1,000 Loss.
In additional, Mr.. Orem declared
that since the budget was prepared
he had been informed that the as
sessable basis is likely to increase to
100000, causing an additional loss
of about $1,000 in the amount the
county receives from the State
equalization fund.
Moreover, he declared that this
prospective loss has not been pro-
vided for in the budget, but added
that If the bill to equalize colorec
teachers salaries now pending in
the Legislature is passed and g
part of the cost is allocated to the
State equalization fund, the county
will receive an additional $4,000
from State funds.
Building Program Excluded.
The present budget does not in
clude the 100000 building program
which the Board of Education SUBJ
mitted to the commissioners several
weeks ago and which is now pending
in the Legislature.
A summary of items in the budget
overhead, s14,27O; Institutional
service, including teachers salaries
S436,025; operation, S81,500; main
enance, $4,000: auxiliary agencies
25,300; fixed charges. $1,000; land
and buildings, $4,000; interest or
bonds, $3.50.
The new budget totals S1064 ,305
of which S391,670 will be received
from State, Federal and other
sources.

carrot and canned celery juice
are now sold at speciality grocers

is very high in Vitamin A,
has a sweet, rich taste, and
should always be diluted and

in water to cover for only a short
time. or, CRATE the fresh beets,

Spread Among All
But 5 D. {. Projects

Mr.. HaWorth said he is required
byFederal w. P. A. officials to re-
duce his total force from about

ment, the school lunch program and
the housekeepers' aid service.
There has been ordered a cut Of

might be filled by the assignment
of volunteers who have offered
their services to the District Civilian
Defense Council.
The extent of cuts in other serv-
ices and the number of w. P. A.
workers who will be assigned to
these projects are:
Adult education, a reduction of

New PhiIateIy Vogue
Gains Wide Popularity

Originator of a wartime vogue. a
battle-scarred veteran sits in Lon
don office, preoccupied, not with
bombs, but battered envelopes. The
vogue is said to be growing in pop
ularity from one side of the Atlantic
to the other.
Envelopes from out of-the-way
places have gained market value
because of their postmarks.
The vast international club of
postmark collectors is run from
London, and this offspring of pnila-
tely has won the most favor in the
United States and Canada, says the
vogues originator.
Letters transmitted from enemy
territory by the Red Cross, via &C.
neva, Switzerland, or through a
Lisbon travel agency, have been
opened by both German and British
censors. and are expected to become
a rarity. Letters transferred at sea
are also particularly priced.

Priorities Revoked
For S6,000,000 New
Hotel in Arlington
'Esthetie Objections
And Traffic Problems
Bring Reversed Ruling

Priorities assistance for acquisi-
ton of materials to be used in con-
struction of a s6,OOo,OOO apartment
hotel at Lee boulevard and Arlington
Ridge road, in nearby Arlington
County. Va, was revoked today by
the Priorities Division of the Office
of Production Management, making
construction of the project virtually
impossible.
At the same time, the area in
which the building was to be erected
was removed from the defense hous-
ing critical areas list by the division
Officials said the drastic decision
was prompted in part by the in
creased traffic congestion on Lee
boulevard and Memorial and Key
Bridges which would develop from
such a project. Weight also was
given. it was understood. to the his
torical and esthetic objections to use
of this land for building purposes y
The structure would be adjacent to
Arlington National Cemetery.
Nelson Notifies Builders.
Revocation of the preference rat
ing given the project by the Priori-
ties Division on November l was
incloSed in letter addressed to the
builders by Priorities Director Don
aid M. Nelson.
Mr.. Nelson directed that the sup
pliers Of the builders to whose de-
liveries the rating had been applied
should be informed of the revocation,
and that the suppliers. in turn,
should so advise their sources of
materials
No construction had been started
on the site, 25-acre plot known as
the Nevius tract, bounded by the
United States reservation. North
Arlington Ridge road, Lee boulevard
and North Meade street.
The project was to include three
History buildings. two of eight
stories and two of three stories.
Fight Over Project.
The Arlington County Board and
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission had been at odds
over the proposed project since it
was advanced several months ago
The board held that the develop
ment would be IAN asset" and most
welcome" in the county, while the
commission contended the struc-
lures would constitute an "eyesore"
in the area.
Today's move of the priorities
division still leaves unanswered the
question of whether preference rat
ings will be granted similar project
at Arlington Ridge road and Colum-
bia pike A History apartment-hotel
has been proposed for this site. The
Park and Planning Commission also
has objected to this project.

Youths Gel 5 10 Il Years
For Armed Robberies

Two youthful bandits received one
Of the stiffest sentences in recent
months at District Court when JUS
tice James w. Morris yesterday de-
creed that George c Reidy, 81. and
Edward R. Buckler, 18, each serve
five years and three months to 81
years on seven charges of armed
robbery.
Assistant United States Attorney
Ste jlen c. Miller advised the>court
that in some instances the pair hit
their victims over the head with
the butt end of their revolvers
after they had taken their money
away, and for no apparent reason
but meanneSS.
Justice Morris observed that this
was one of the most f1agrant law
violations that had come to his at
tention and characterized it as "a
very serious offense." The jurist
declared that the criminal careers
OF the youths represented an orgy
which can be considered as one
continuing series of crimes" He
imposed a sentence of nine months
to three years in each of the seven
robbery cases upon each defendant.
