BALTIMORE, Nov. 2s.-The Leg
islative Council today was to con-
tinue it's study of bills for possible
presentation to the General Assem-
bly, which convenes January 6. An
open hearing on measures related to

en- small loans in the State.
Two other proposals were rejected
at a conference of members of the

One would have established sep
arate rates of interest for secured
and unsecured loans, and the other
would have set up one rate for loans
of less than $500 and another for
loans above that amount.

Charter backers
Map Program at
Annual Meeting
Committee Members
Hear Monthly Tax
Payment Proposed

Payment of taxes in monthly in
stallments, an annual fiscal report
to the taxpayers in language intel
ligible to the average citizen, and a
scientific system of assessment, were
among the suggestions before men,
bers of the Montgomery County
Charter Committee today.
The recommendations were made
by Chester E. Rightor of the Census
Bureau, former Detroit controller,
at the annual membership meeting
of the committee last night in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School.
He was introduced by Mrs. James
v. Bennett, chairman of the Speak
ers' Committee.
The importance Of keeping the
Charter Committee alive to collect
funds to finance the charter move
ment, formulate public opinion and
recognizing workers for the char
ter fight in 1914 was stressed by
Allen H. Gardner, president of the
committee.
Mrs. John Werner, executive di-
rector of the committee, gave credit
for the victory Of the charter move
ment at the last election to the
small precinct workers who plugged
away at their job of getting
petition signers
The big names on the committee
usually got called out of town for
an important conference when there
was work to be done" Mr.. Werner
said. But the little men and
women in the precincts stuck to
their jobs to the last minute"
The committee spent $4,l86.98 to
put the charter movement across
in the election, less than one-third
OF the sum spent by the Democratic
organization which opposed the
movement, Capt. Charles Parsons,
treasurer, reported. Less than 200
persons contributed the sum of So
226.75. he said Within the near
future the public will be given an
opportunity to contribute toward
the financing of the charter fight
during the next two years.
Mrs. Guy B. Stevenson of Nor
beck, G. Rust Candy of Colesville
and Edward r. Jones of Damascus,
were elected to the Board of Direc-
tors for one-year terms to fill the
vacancies caused by the resignation
Of Stephen James, Frederic P. Lee
and Mrs. Alice Hostetler.
Six members reelected for three
year terms were Mrs. PGad Moore
house. Mrs. Walter E. Perry, Capt.
Chester Wells. Ray Tucker, Rob-
ert Miller and 1t. Col. c. F. Won
dem Bussche. The board will meet
at an early date to elect officers.

Dairy and Producers
Seek Solution on
Contract
I
Court to Set Dute for
Hearing if PorIey on
Shortage Is DeodIocked

Representative of the Embassy
Fairfax Dairy and the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Association
continued their conferences today
in an effort to reach a settlement
out of court in regard to con-
tracted delivery of milk by the
association to the dairy.
Justice Matthew F. MCGUIRE in
District Court yesterday vacated his
order issued Monday requiring the
association to continue to deliver
5000 gallons daily to the dairy, as
provided by their contract.
May Set Hearing Date.
The jurist said he vacated the
order after being informed in
conference with the parties that
it may have been impossible for
the association to deliver the milk
because of a shortage here.
If settlement is not reached out
of court, a date for a hearing on
the merits of the dairy's complaint
for an injunction will be fixed
Monday.
Justice MCGUIRE said he was in
formed that real milk shortage"
impends here if milk cannot be
gotten from other areas. The man
power shortage was given as the
reason this has been found difficult,
the judge said.
Some Cows Killed.
Another contributing factor, JUS
tice MCGUIRE was informed, is the
fact that dairy farmers, unable to
hire help, are killing their cows
for beef.
Elwood Seal, attorney for the
association, assured Justice Mcclure
that the association would make
a fair allotment of its milk among
It's customers so that the dairy will
not have to bear a disproportionate
share of the shortage The dairy
said in its complaint, filed through
Attorney Robert E. Lynch, that it
had contracts to supply milk for
the armed forces in this area.

State Budget Hearings
Ended in Maryland;
Increases Sought
Department Heads Ask
More Funds in Face
Of Economy Warning
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 25.-
Maryland's first open hearings on
budget requests by the heads of
State departments were ended to-
day, with virtually every one who
appeared asking increased alloca-
tions in the face of Gov. O'Conor' S
assertion that in this war year close
scrutiny of every expenditure was
more than ever necessary.
In the third budget hearing ses-
sion yesterday, the Governor heard
heads of the State police force, the
Department of Parole and Proba-
ton, the State Roads Commission
and the commissioner of motor We
hicles ask for additional funds for
the next two fiscal years.
Col. Beverly S. Ober, superintend
ent of the State police force, said
the number of State troopers should
be boosted to $50 and the number
of civilian employees to about 95.
Col. Ober said Endorsement of an
increased police force had come
from the Criminal Justice Commits
sion and the Automobile Association
of America.
Road Income Said Down.
Chairman Ezra B. Whitman of
the State Roads Commission, pre-
dieting very severe cuts in the
whole revenue" of his department,
said income had fallen off month
by month since last May Only in
September did income take an up
ward trend, he said.
Mr.. Whitman said he would ask
the l943 Legislature for permission
to use presently available money for
maintenance of roads, and to set
aside a fund for building of new
highways after the war.
Mr.. Whitman said he did not
think the State would receive any
extra Federal assistance for the
building of roads during the war,
although the Army and Navy have
asked the commission to construct
number Of new roads.
Parole Director Herman M. Moser
told the Governor that the greater
amount of work being handled by
his department required additional
investigators. Seven men now are
required to make 1000 investiga-
tions year, he said.
No Drop In Autos Seen.
w. Lee Elgin, commissioner of
motor vehicles, asked for eight new
investigators. He said a complete
printing establishment was standing
idle in his department because State
wages were not high enough to keep
printers from accepting other Jobs
Mr., Elgin said he anticipated little
decline in the number of autos reg
istered in the State next year. The
Governor announced that the State
Publicity Commission would be dis
continued for the duration of the
war.

tanner now that hunters are faced
with an ammunition shortage.
But the deer reckon without Ken
meth Shockley, Baltimorean who
delights in stalking through the
forests with bow and arrow.
He isn't playing around with kid

Don't let that fool you," he says.
"Or the tip, either. It's probably
soft enough to bend in your fingers,
but an arrow like that will just

Several States have set aside reser-
vations where archers are allowed q
few days to themselves before the
opening Of the regular hunting
season.
Maryland hasn't co-operated with
the archers yet. and Mr.. Shockley
hopes something will be done
about 1t.
Right now he's going to head for
q West Virginia State Park, where
he and other bowmen are allowed to
pit their skill against wild game.

Priority Denial
Dashes Hopes
For New Streets
Prince Georges Boord
Gets WPB Reply on
RivexdoIe Heights

Residents of special improvement
districts IN Prince Georges County.
Md, who have petitioned the county
commissioners for the construction
of new concrete streets in their
areas will have to get along with
their present unimproved streets for
the duration.
This appeared likely today as
result Of the denial by the War Pro-
duction Board of an application by
the commissioners for prorities to
construct two concrete streets in
Riverdale Heights
In letter received yesterday by
the commissioners. WPB pointed
out that much of the material, la
Dor and equipment which would be
used in building the streets are also
required not only in the manufac-
ture of munitions but also for con-
struction of facilities vital to the
conduct of the war.
Indicate No Appeal.
"Since the proposed construction
cannot be considered as vital to the
war effort" the letter stated, your
application is denied"
While WPB noted that an appeal
may be taken from its decision with
in 80 days, the commissioners indi-
Gated that they would not take such
action.
Linden Briscoe, clerk to the coun-
ty commissioners, said the WPB's
action would affect similar requests
by residents of Rogers Heights, Villa
Heights. Woodley Hills and West
Lanham Hills He added that
there now seemed to be mo chance"
of getting concrete streets for the
duration.
In their application, the commits
sioners said the present streets in
question in Riverdale Heights are
almost impossible during bad
weather and that practically all
residents along the streets are Gov
eminent employees and war workers.
Proposed new regulations con-
corning future establishment Of
special improvement districts in the
county were approved by the Com
missioners.
One of the provisions requires that
a petition for the creation of such
district must be accompanied by a
$50 deposit to pay the cost of pub
lication of the notice of the hearing
before the commissioners to deter
mine whether or not the district
should be created. No deposit was
required previously.
Applies to Street Hearings.
Another regulation provides that
petition for street improvements
or municipal functions within spe-
cial improvement district must be
accompanied by a deposit of $50 to
pay the cost of publication of the
notice of the hearing to determine
whether or not such Improvements
or functions shall be ordered.
Other regulations include a provi-
sion that petition for creation Of
a special improvement district must
be accompanied by three copies of
plot showing the outlines or
boundaries of the proposed district,
instead of only one copy as was the
case formerly.
The commissioners were notified
by j. C. c. McCuster, chief deputy
controller of the State, that the
State tax for the coming year will
be $12.75 per $100 of assessable prop
ertly-a reduction of $1.25 from the
1912 tax.
The allowance for the care Of
foster children in the county by the
Maryland Childrens Aid Society was
increased by the commissioners from
| SIS to $40 month. Approximately
35 children are affected by the order.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-15
Don't Get Caught

War time restrictions are apt to be
binding. But this country is in fortunate
position of not having to fight off IN
vaderS which would certainly make con-
ditionS a whole lot worse than they
appear to most of us right now. Gas
rationing is going to be difficult TO
accept, because the automobile has be-
come an important factor in our every
day life. Many an economic program is
based on the family car Now this pro-
gram has to be changed to conform to
an entirely new form of living.
Whether the present methods of ra-
tioning gasoline to car owners will prove
satisfactory certainly will be determined
in the six week trial period ending July
/. After that it may be necessary to
curtail gasoline sales still further or it
may be possible to relax the regulations.
We won't know about that until the test
period has been passed through and Off
Gals can determine how existing sup
plies of petroleum have been affected or
how the transportation problem is faring.
RICH now there is tendency to get
all the gasoline that can be obtained.
Common sense should dictate caution and
prudence in this, though. If everyone
continues to use his or her car just as
generally as they have in the past ration
ing rules will become more stringent.
We've got to conserve as such gasoline
as possible. Any motoriSt can do this
in a dozen different ways. 1t may involve
less driving and more walking or use OF
public vehicles, but if so the sacrifice is
well made The point is all must make
some sacrifice, even though their position
may seem the most important in the en-
tire defense set-up.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-15
Renting Problems

AS yet the full impact of the OPA
ceiling on housing rentals has not been
felt here IN Waterbury or elsewhere for
that matter. The 60-day grace period
during which landlords are supposed to
be making the changes necessary to con-
form to the regulations won't be up until
June /. BY that time in the Waterbury
defense area, which, incidentally, in
cludes not only Waterbury and environs,
but number of towns in New Haven
County and all Litchfield County, dwell
ing rentals are supposed to have been
brought to levels in existence on April
/, 1941.
It is this establishment of a retroac-
tive date for many sections of the coun-
try which apparently does not set too
well with many realtors. They believe
that the ceiling date should be the same
for the nation at large. On the other
hand the Office of Price Administration
claims that definite areas, such as Water
bury, showed distinct evidence year
ago of increased activity among land
lords in raising rents due to increasing
living costs. Rents are like other COM
modities in following the trend OF the
times ~
We don't think the demand for but
one rent ceiling date will be heard by
OPA. The administration of price cell
ings, whether they be rents or foodstufts
or household commodities, is apparently
slowly but surely swinging into action.
It As a tremendous undertaking, but once
fJnctioning will very likely be the most
effective curb on initiation that could
mechanically be brought to bear and
endured by those whom it will affect.

Every Bit Will Help

It is safe to say that Henry Morgen-
thau could not win popularity contest
with the lower income levels as jury, since
he has proposed to cut income tax ex-
emptionS to drag another seven millions
under the umbrella. Nevertheless, his
recommendation has much merit. There
are at least two major reasons why we
should extend universal service to the tax
field as far as possible.
First, there is no better way to impress
upon every man and his wife that this
really is their country and their govern
rnent. MosL taxes are hidden in the retail
prices of commodities we buy. We don't
notice them. Nobody mentions how much
cheaper each item would be if it weren't
taxed. AS nation we have thought of
the financing of government as loaves-
and-hshes miracle. Nobody paid, we
supposed, except few rich and near
rich
Therefore we felt - and many still
feel - that economy in government is
fetish Of plutocrats. Why should we
try to buy ships, tanks and planes
cileaply, Just to relieve some millionaire
Of little tax burden? Let him pay. Sup
pose higher pay scales, with stiff over
time provisions, make war equipment cost
more? Isn't it merely transferring SO
much from corporation stockholders, who
don't need the money, TO workmen who

noticed that men whose duties are
performed beneath great domes
acquire a stately and appropriate
manner. The Vergers in cathedrals
have a certain dignity about them.
Princes of royal blood generally
carry themselves in a way which
indicates their exalted station.
All this Is particularly true In
the realm of faith. People who
are truly religious disclose their
nearness to God In all that they do,
say, and think. They frequently
have a dignified bearing or a peace
full c0untenance which indicates that
the fierce conflict between right and
wrong in their hearts has resulted
IN 9 triumph Of the higher over the
lower. They are the descendants Of
those who have fought the good
flght OF faith In generations past.
They are heirs OF God and joint
heirs with Christ. They have gone
through crucifixl0n and have broken
the power Of sin.
True Christians are like the people
Emerson spoke about. who because
their duties are performed beneath
great d0meG, acquire q stately and
appropriate manner.
