Shows Marked Increase
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 19.-Oystel
production in Maryland during the
first two months of the current pro-
duction season showed a marked in
crease over that of 1912, but officials
of the TideWater Fisheries Commits
sion would not predict whether the
high yield would continue.
The commission reported that pro-
duction during September and Octo-
ber totaled 446,646 bushels, as COM
pared with 416,6O6 bushels during
the same two months last year.
OF this seasons yield. 1883
bushels went into the export trade
whereas in the first two months of
the 1912 season only 1862 bushels
were exported
The increase in production was at
tributed by commission officials to
a heavy demand by consumers and
consequent high return to watermen.
They speculated also that the num-
Der of oystermen might have in
creased.

Legislative Record
OF Democrats ExfoIIed
By Senator Gillette
But lowun Criticizes
WoefuI Extravaganza
Before Montgomery Unit

Approximately 80 per cent of all
progressive legislation enacted by
Congress during the last 100 years
has been placed on the statute
books during Democratic-cont
administrations, Senator Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa, declared last
night.
Speaking at the annual meeting
of the Women's Democratic Club of
Montgomery County in the Fairfax
Hotel, Senator Gillette praised the
Democratic Party for its efforts on
behalf of the "underprivileged"
1T is no exaggeration to say that
in the years following the accession
to power of the Democratic Party
in 1888, more legislation in behalf
of the laborer, the farmer, the
debtor, the needy, the distressed,
the crippled, and the underprivi-
legged was put upon the national
statute books than in all of the
other years of the Nations history
combined the Senator declared.
Hits Spending of Resources.
At the same time, he pointed out
that there has been "woeful extrava-
gance" in the administration Of
many Federal agencies and tragic
disregard for the fact that they
are spending the resources Of the
American people"
While much of these expenditures
have been justified, the speaker en-
phasized that in many instances,
they have been "inexcusable.
He promised, however, that the
Democratic party will correct these
conditions, thus enabling it to con-
tinue in power as the agent for
political expression of the American
people"

Roger Shaw of Rockville was re-

Virginia Educators
Demand State Funds
OF $1,000 Per Teacher
Dorden Tells Meeting
Money Not Available
For Expansion Asked
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 19.-A DOS
tive stand on what promises to be
one OF the most controversial SUBJ
jects of the next General Assem-
bly-funds for education-was taken
yesterday by the Delegate Assembly
of the Virginia Education Associa-
ton which brought to a close its
three-day business meeting here.
The delegates voted unanimously
to support State Supt. of Public In
struction Dabney Lancasters budget
request for $1,000 in State funds fol-
each teacher unit, as compared with
the present amount of s72O allowed
per teacher unit.
Their action was taken after they
had heard Gov. Darden repeat his
previously announced stand: That
to go beyond the s84O for 1944-4s
and the $3.50 for 1945-46-which he
has said he will ask the Genera
Assembly to approve-would not be
sound budget planning.
The Governor told the body Wed.
nesday that the States $4,000 OO(
surplus will be needed for capita
improvements at the close of tht
war and indicated no other fund.
were available for expanding the
educational program.
While he did not directly STATE
that increased taxation would be the
only means of providing more fund.
for education, he did state that Goo
only knows what is ahead for us
and "as between the two, taxes may
have to come up before they come
down" The public, he told the
delegates, is not ready for such q
program as they have proposed fol-
educational expansion.
Other measures approved by the
Assembly, which will require action
by the Legislative Assembly before
they can be put into practice, were
the raising of the compulsory at.
tendance age limit from Is to It
and minor changes in the State at.
tendance laws.

Darden Says More Aid
Is Due for Tubercu|ar
Tells Alexandra Group
Budget Will Be Boosted

Hope for increased facilities for
care Of tubercular patients was given
members of the Alexandria Tuber-
culosis Association yesterday by
Gov. Darden in meeting with the
group yesterday.
Gov. Darden revealed that a large
appropriation for care of tubercu-
losis patients will be included in the
State budget for ratification by the
Assembly
He said the 100000 appropriated
at the last session of the Legislature
for an addition to Piedmont Sani-
tarium might we'll be used for tenn
porary facilities unless priorities can
be obtained for the permanent
structure.
After hearing from Robert G.
Whitton, administrator of the Alex
andria Hospital. of the success in
obtaining priorities for the hospital
addition, he suggested that Mr..
Whitton look into the possibilities
of obtaining priorities for the Pied
mont Sanitarium addition.
Gov.Darden said he realizes that
Virginia is far behind in its pro-
visions for the care of tuberculosis,
and that since it will take long
time for the State to make ade-
quate arrangements, it is up to the
localities to provide some facilities.
He expressed approval of the plan
proposed by Alexandria, darlington
and Fairfax tuberculosis groups for
construction of a joint project.
He suggested to members of the
Alexandria Association that they ar
range a meeting with the State
Board of Health to which represen-
ttives of other Northern Virginia
tuberculosis Associations would be
invited. With the sanction of the
State agency, he said, they could
approach the finance committees of
the State Senate and House of Dele
gates to inquire if the number of
beds in Virginia can be increased.

Near Mount Vernon

A proposed county ordinance i'm
posing an annual license fee of IS
per trailer site on all trailer camps
in Fairfax County has been ordered
advertised for public hearing by
the county board of supervisors.
Except for the license fee, the
measure Is similar to one considered
by the board some time ago. Tho
first measure suggested that q fec
OF SIS per annum be assessed each
trailer. This brought objections
from trailer camp operators.

public hearing on two applications
for rezoning in order that trailer or
tourist camps may be established.
Granted Application.
The board granted the application
OF Alice L. and Oakley o. Warren to
rezone tract Of land located on the
west side of the Richmond-Wash-
ington highway at Snake Hill, Mount
Vernon district, to permit the es-
tablishment Of a tourist camp.
The application of Mrs. Nellie
Grissom to rezone from agricultural
district to industrial district a tract
located west of Back Lick road,
Mount Vernon district, was denied,
following protests from a number of
citizens living in the area, the State
Health Department and recommen-
dation of the County Planning
Commission against the application.
Mrs. Grissom said she wanted to
establish and operate trailer camp
on the tract for personnel and work
men at Fort Belvoir The Planning
Commission contended the site was
located too near one OF the pro-
posed cross highways connecting
with the Shirley Memorial highway
now under construction.

OF Civilian Defense of the Wash
ington area, and Maj. Gen John T.
Lewis, commander of the Washing
ton Military District, appeared be-
fore the board at its meeting Tues
day and urged the body to retain
its present Civilian Defense setup.

present Office of Civilian Defense
will be retained and the county air

usual, but some reduction will be
made in expenses of the organiza-
ton and the services of the secretary
now employed in the co-ordinator's
