Postwar Planning Agency
In Warren County Urged
BY the Associated Press.


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Aug.
THE setting up of an agency to
prepare for local postwar problems
has been recommended on the basis
of a laboratory research study OF
Warren County by students of the
School of Rural Social Economics
at the University Of Virginia.
A 21S-page survey of the county
was prepared by six University of
Virginia students OF rural social eco
nomics, who spent two years on the
cooperative project, working with
| the assistance of citizens OF the
county.
| Two students from Warren Coun-
ty, Elliott c. Haley and William H
Sager, both OF Front Royal. are CO.
authors of the survey with four
other students.
"All things considered, the fu-
ture of Warren County looks bright
but all future success depends MAIN
ly upon careful planning by all de-
partments,' the report stated
st. 1t is almost automatic that
| in this modern age, the civic, eco
nomic and social interests of CON-
munity can be effectively served
only by adequate planning In ad-
vance, with both governmental ano
private agencies working IN the

Speaking at meeting Of the

that the more than $4,000 900
which has been raised in two and

The regional director of the as

called that it was just a year ago
today that three Swedish ships
sailed from Montreal, Canada, to
inaugurate large-scale food ship

the Swedish ships as saying that,
"on each voyage the entire cargo
has been safely delivered to the Red

On my initial voyage the

there has been noticeable i'm

that first voyage to Greece a year

New Mental Patients
Refused in Maryland
Due TO Help Shortage
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. THE State
has been compelled to refuse admis-
sion of new patients to its mental
institutions since Monday because
OF a shortage of help, DR.. George Il.
Preston, commissioner of mental hy-
giene, said yesterday.
DIR. Preston said five cases in the
counties and four in Baltimore City
have been refused admission. In
each case the patient was in need
of immediate hospitalization, he as
serted.
The overcrowding and shortage
OF help in the hospitals has reached
such proportions that the admission
OF any more patients at this time
would only result in none of the pa
tients receiving any care, and might
prove very dangerous as we'll
The escape of IL patients from
Springfield State Hospital on Mon
day points out one of the dangers
since the plotting of their escape
was made possible by inadequate
supervision resulting from the des-
perate shortage OF help at that hos
pital,' Seven of the patients have
been captured.
And that is only one of the
dangers" DR.. Preston continued
There is also the danger of acci-
dents to patients who are only par
TALLY able to take care OF them.
selves"
DR.. Preston. AS an example, cited
the labor situation at Spring Grove
Hospital.
There, he said. there are 1.1o5
women mental patients and only "a
women workers, including registered
nurses, attendants and all other
tyres of help.
He explained that that was a ratie
of one worker for every IT patients
while the standard practice called
for one worker to every eight pa

(Eopping the Treasurys July quota
OF So, 8,000, 900 for Series e War bonds
by nearly 20 per cent, bond buyers
in the District purchased $3.50 ,63s
to make last month the eighth con-
secutive one in which they have
gone over the top of their allot-
ments.
Chairman John A. Reilly of the
District War Finance Committee
said July sales again maintained
per capita purchases by Washing
ton residents as the highest in the
Nation. Figures just released by
the Treasury show that the Dis
trict's per capita sales have been
topped only by the Territory OF
Hawaii since the beginning of the
War Savings program in 1941. Con-
necticut now ranks second in the
continental United States.
Washington residents purchased
s83 ,142, ,502 in Series E bonds during
the past fiscal year-average of
500 per person.
The August quota for the District
is the same as that for last month
So .000, 900 also. Mr.. Reilly said all
citizens must continue to back the
attack with War bonds" to the limit
OF their resources.
Sales results for July, he said,
are very gratifying in view of the
fact that the withholding tax pro-
gram went into effect during that
month.
THE continued maintenance of
the District record since 1941," he
said, lis an accomplishment of
which our citizens may we'll be
proud. 1t is notable, he continued,
that the payroll savings bond pur-
chases by employees of the Gov
ernment are materially increasing
due to special efforts inaugurated
by the Interdepartmental War Saw
ings Bond Committee in connection
with the Second War Loan Drive
In April
These figures on bond sales, Mr..
Reilly added, apply only to Series
E bonds, the small denomination
type. Total figures for the Dis
trict. encompassing all types of
bonds, would naturally be much
higher, he pointed out.

Court Declares
$50 Trailer Tax
Unconstitutional
Judge Melvin Finds
Arundel County Levy
Can't Be Justified
Sy the Associated Press,

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 7.-An Anne
Arundel County trailer tax law, en-.
acted by the 1943 Legislature, was
declared unconstitutional. null and
void by Judge Ridgely P, Melvin
chief judge of the Fifth Judicial Cir
cult. yesterday.
Stating that the imposition of q
tax must survive the test of uni
formity and equality, Judge Melvin
ruled that a $50 annual license fee
on trailers in this county fails to
meet the test in either respect.
The decision was handed down
on the case of James Matthew Eng
hsh-trailer owner of Rock Creek
. versus the county commissioners
the county building inspector and
the clerk of the circuit court.
Singles Out Trailer Dwellers.
Mr.. English had contended in a
bill OF complaint thta the tax Law
was unconstitutional and in the
hearing before the court July "a
further contended that the tax was
imposed on the right to live in
ones own home"
Judge Melvin in his opinion on the
case said:
The admitted facts show that of
all the home dwellers in Anne Arun-
del County. it singles out those who
lnhabft a particular type of build
ing, namely, trailer homes, and
would make them pay for the privi-
lege OF merely living therein. while
leaving free from the tax all home
dwellers who happen to live in some
other kind of habitation.
For the courts to uphold such a
statute as this would mean the Civ
ing OF judicial approval to the leg
1slative branch of the Government
to enter a realm of taxing authority
that would have practically no lin
1tations, and would be contrary to
the spirit, If not the letter, of all
constitutional guarantees.
mo Possible Justification"
There could be no possible iusti-
fication in law for placing a tax on
mans home and then il it be a
trailer home, to also tax him for the
right to live in it, while at the same
time allowing the owner of a cottage
only a few yards away to live in it
free from the habitation tax i'm
posed upon his ext-door neighbor
the trailer house owner. That Is con-
ceivably the precise situation that
could arise under this statute.
Moreover, the tax it imposes is an
arbitrary one and has no regard to
value. uniformity or equality. as the
organic law requires. That is to say,
the owner or tenant OF a $500 trailer
would have to pay the $50 annual
license fee Just the same as the
owner or occupant of a s2,500 trailer
house.
There is also no question here of
regulating the camps 0or trailers)
as regards health, safety and well
fare of the community. for health
regulations are admittedly already
IN force and this statute does not
undertake to deal with the subject
OF regulations at all"
Judge Melvin concluded:
Trailer camps in this State have
arisen largely as an outgrowth of
the war emergency and are doing
some part toward solving the hous-
ing problem. = This entities the
owellers to the same consideration
as the dwellers in other kinds ct
homes or living quarters. =" :"
