Budget Of S136,970
Voted for Greenbe|t
U. S. Asked to Poy
S104 402 Share

A budget calling for expenditures
totaling S136,970 of which the Fed l.
eral Government will be asked to
pay Sl04.402 in lieu of taxes, has
been approved by the Greenbelt
Town Council for the year beginning
January l, 1914
While the 1914 budget estimate is
only slightly larger than that for
l943-Sl35, ,475-the Federal payment
represents a decrease of S7.32l from
the Sll1,723 contributed this year.
Virtually all of the difference be-
tween the l943 and 1914 Federal
payments will be made up through
"a reduction in the public works ap-
preparation. The 1914 estimate for
this item. which includes streets
lighting, parks, Fairgrounds, sewers
and waste collection and disposal
is $52,638, as compared with s58, PAS
appropriated in the l943 budget.
Education and recreation, for
which S35,500 was appropriated in
this years budget, is estimated to
cost SAL .72l in 1914 The increase
is expected to be taken care of by
a growing use of recreational facili-
ties which are elf-sustaining.
The Council also expects to receive
81 200 from school bus fares and
81 500 from State gas tax funds end
to have $4,000 surplus from the
1943 budget.

KIbourne Wants Military Hand
Retained in Postwar SchooIinq

1urther and between nigh school and
college for those who wish higher
education"
Gen. Kilbourne vigorously opposes
the accelerated system now in use
whereby students try to crowd a
year and a half of learning into a
year.
1T should be discontinued as soon
as possible after the war. The sum-
mer months are unfavorable to con-
centration. The students are at an
age where rest and recreation are
desirable AS for the faculty. there
is little time for study and ref1ec-
ton, and daily duties prevent them
from keeping up with developments
in their own line of work and in
contributory lines.
Provide Better Citizenry.
Under these conditions educa-
ton cannot advance and may de-
teriorate"
The generals idea of postwar
education is that 1t should pro-
vide, 20 years from today, citiZenry
better balanced in knowledge
World conditions after the peace
will demand more individuals with
broad educations than at any other
period of world history There will,
of course, be great demand for en-
gineers and other scientists.
The war itself will do much to
provide practical experience for
those who already had obtained es-
sential background. The type of
education encouraged by the armed
forces of our own and, am sure. of
other nations, should provide these
leaders with ample assistants
But America will lack, and
doubtless also many other nations.
sufficient men who have the learn
ing, the philosophy and the leader
ship to prevent patched-up peace
based on f1imsy foundations.
In brief, there are already too
few men who have broad knoWl-
edge of history-national, interna-
tional and racial-Without which
knowledge the real causes of war
cannot be determined. And. with
out knowledge of the causes. no
agreement among nations can be
expected to operate very long"

Dyke CuIIum Granted
Civil Service Review
Silver Spring Postmaster
Seeks Permanent Place

The Civil Service Commission has
granted Dyke Cullum, acting post
master at Silver Spring, Md, a re-
view and hearing before its Board
of Appeals to reconsider his eligi-
billty for the postmastership, it was
learned today.
Mr.. Cullum has served as acting
postmaster since January and
had applied for the postmastership
together with Is other applicants, ir
February. The commission, how.
ever, did not include him among
three eligibles certified last month
Eligibles listed were DR.. j. H
Forsyth, Norman Wootton and w. E
Bowman. Mr.. Bowman was recon-
mended for the appointment by the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Montgomery County and later
indorsed by Senators Tydings ano
Radcliffe of Maryland.
Mr.. Bowman's appointment by the
President, it is believed has beer
delayed because of his absence from
the country.
The State Central Committee, Mr.
Cullum said, refused his request tt
ask the Post Office Department fol
a review of his application before
making its choice for the postmas-
tership at Silver Spring. He basec
his plea on the statement that the
civil service investigator failed tt
interview his more responsible ref,
erences and to consider his efficiency
rating as acting postmaster. He also
called attention to the fact that he
gave up an Army commission tc
take over the Office.
The date of the hearing before
the board Of appeals will be set later

LEXINGTON, Va, Dec. 8-The
military mind which took ovel
Americas classrooms with the out
break of war should be retained as
a tempering and disciplinary inf1u-
ence in broadened postwar educa-
tion.
Such is the opinion of 1t. Gen
Charles E. Kilbourne, superintendent
of famed Virginia Military Institute
who turned to education after a
distinguished military career
Gen. kilbourne, now retired, be-
lieves a broadened education and
military training will be vital in
carrying forward the hopes of free
men after the new peace.
War Retards Education.
The end of the war is going to
find educate at low ebb in many
of the countries where it has, In the
past, been highly developed he
says.
Il think IN most parts of Europe
the term wrecked is not too strong.
In Asia, China continues to do her
best, but the difficulties appear to
be very great In our own country
the selective service has curtailed,
almost to the point of interruption,
balanced education in colleges for
men"
Gen. Kilbourne hopes ''to see the
military college given some recog-
milton in national defense legisla-
ton after the war l refer to the
colleges where the student not only
drills and receives military instruc-
ton, but also lives in 24-hour
military atmosphere.
If given special recognition, l
believe colleges of that type will be
established in every State in the
Union.
Compulsory Military Training.
II am firmly of the opinion, also,
that we should require period OF
military training in the Army or
Navy of every able-bodied young
American. This period should be
required at the age when young men
normally are graduated from high
school, so as to have the military

Repatriates Report
Constant Fighting BY
Filipino Guerri||as
Stote Department
Officials Occupied
House Near Manila

Guerrilla fighting in the Philip
pines is like dishwashing-it never
ends.
That's the story brought back to
the United States by four State De-
partment officials who we're interned
in Baldwin House, on the outskirts
.of Manila, until the exchange ship
brought them out three months ago.
Nathaniel Penistone Davis of the
State Departments Division OF For
eign Service Administration said
Yesterday in an interview that the
japanese are constantly sending out
punitive expeditions against the
guerrillas and repeatedly are "wiping
them out
FilipinOs Loyal to L. S.
Mr., Davis was interviewed with
three colleagues who returned to this
country on the Gripsholm-Georc
Manlove Abbott, who was on his wav
TO take his post as Consul at Co.
lomoo, Ceylon, when the japanese
occupied Manila: Horatio Tobev
Mooers. who was en- route to his post
at Madagascar, and Charles H.
whitaker, who was Vice Consul at
Manila.
Ihey were interned with 80 other
Government officials at Baldwin
House, and occasionally were allowed
70 go downtown to Manila with a
RED armband on-designating them
as enemy aliens. They were per-
mltted passes to see a doctor or
dentist.
The Filipinos, Mr.. Davis said. are
loyal to the United States. There is
no doubt in their minds that japan
is certain to lose the war.
Twelve Officials Left Behind.
Twelve officials were left behine
at Baldwin House when Mr.. Davi.
and his colleagues departed. The l:
were employees of the Office of the
high commissioner in Manila.
Mr.. Davis visited the civilian in.
ternment camp at San Tomas at hi.
request before he left. and found
that the 1000 persons there want
from the United States medical
supplies food and mail in that order
He said the camp is clean but
doWdy. The men have aged more
than the women. Fifty cents a
day a person is the amount OF
money allowed for each persons
needs.
japanese propaganda represents
the war in the Pacific as an un-
broken series of victories for their
side. Mr.. Davis said. Vast numbers
OF American planes are shot down.
and never a Jap plane is destroyed
The American Navy has been de-
stroyed number of times. An
American occupation of an island
is always represented as clever
trap by the Japanese. who boast in
their propaganda that they. have
lured the Americans into another
Dunkirk.
The map shows. however" Mr.
Davis said. that the Americans
keep advancing
