Powers Of Bourd Druws
Protest at Conference

In the face of arguments on their
bill to strip the plenary powers from
the Board OF Public Welfare and
transfer them to the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners. the city heads
will appoint select committee to
delve into the whole question to
seek the best administrative
answer"
Members Of the welfare board, at
q conference yesterday with Com
missioner Guy Mason. voiced OBJ
jections to the bill. and Oscar M.
Powell. director of the Federal So
cial Security Board. gave general
support to the move of the Com
missioners.
With some limitations. Commits
sioner Mason said, Mr.. Powell in
dorsed the Commissioners bill, now
before Congress and said his agency
sent along a suggested draft, gen.
orally following the laws Of some
Of the more progressive" States.
1t was said he favored q bill which
would provide welfare department
having full powers. with a welfare
board serving as an advisory body
and with a welfare director named
by the Commissioners to admin
lister general rulings.
See Revision Necessary.
Welfare board members registered
opposition. Their chairman, Fred
erick w. McReynolds, was reported
i'll, but other members, under the
leadership of DR.. H. j. Crosson, ap-
peared at the conference to sup
port position that while they
agreed revision of existing legisla-
ton was essential" the pending
bill was inadequate in scope" They
recommended:
That the task of revising the exist
ing law be delegated to a representa- :
tive citizens group of from II to Is
members to be named by the Com
missioners:
That the Commissioners authorize
the group to employ a recognized
expert" in governmental admins
tration:
That the group hold public hear
ings, so as to permit full expression
of public interest; and
That no further action be taken
on the pending bill until after the
committee makes its report.
Cites Interest Of Citizens.
In response to this, the boards
proposals will be considered by the
District heads, and Commissioner
Mason indicated a citizens COM
mittee would be named.
Welfare board members made the
points that the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations, the Board of
Directors of the Council of Social
Agencies and the League Of Women
Voters had evinced interest in the
pending bill and had sought in
| formation on the issue. -,---.
A welfare beard committee headed
by Dr. Crosson said it believed
the cure to the present prob
lem would be found only by a
thoughtful revision" of the existing

posals for fund increases for the
health department and the public
schools and a recommendation for
the establishment of a county recre-
alton department were before the
Montgomery County Commissioners
today after a budget hearing.
Comparatively few of the pro-
posed figures In the $3,247 594.47
budget raised any comment from
the small group that attended the
hearing last night.
Representing the County League

woodey, Chevy Chase. presented a
request from the league that the
county standard of public health be
brought up to that recommended
by the United States Public Health
Service. In order to meet that. she
said. the county should have an ad-
ditional sanitary engineer and two
more sanitaria. She, therefore, rec
commended an increase in the
*53.27o proposed for the Health De-
partment.
Health Called Vital.

said, land the first concern of any
nation is the health of its citizens" !"
Appealing for increased sanitation
facilities as part of national de-
fense, she recommended the use of
. portion of the $83,51129 contin-
gent fund for health purposes.

representatives of the Lay Health
Council and of the Montgomery

Speaking for the Schools Com
mittee of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation, H. P. Morris, Silver
Spring, recommended for increases
In the salaries of county teachers

said the higher salaries offered by
Federal employment are causing
many county teachers to leave their
positions. He urged that every
means be taken to keep teaching
standards high.
Recreation Unit Urged.
r. L. Wright, Silver Spring. also
urged higher salaries for teachers.
At the same time, he said the indi-
Gated pupil increase was an addi-
tional hardship for the teachers. In
reply. DR.. Edwin w. Broome. super
intendent of county schools, said
administrative adjustments were
being made to meet the problems
caused by increased enrolment and
fewer teachers.
Mrs. Werner also spoke in the in
terest of directed playground facil-

said, for us to consider a depart
