D. {. Boy Scouts Join
Drive
To Help Farmers
About so in Capitol
Area Enrolled, With
More Expected

Approximate telv so Bov Scouts in
the National Capital Area Council
have indicated their willingness to
work on nearby farms this summer,
and many others are expected to
volunteer to help out in the farm
labor shortage, Linn C. Drake, Area
Scout executive. disclosed today.
The local program is similar to
national plan in which Scouts
have signed up for lO0000,0O0 hours
of work on the farms of the Nation.
Mr.. Drake said arrangements will
be made for Scouts here to help our
farmers in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, Md, and Fairfax
and Fauquier Counties, Va.
Farmers who are interested in
having Scouts as laborers should
write or call Boy Scout Headquar-
ters at 1927 K street NV.
Other Jobs Beckon.
Final arrangements for the Scout
farm work units, Mr. Drake said, will
depend on how many volunteers
are received. He added that many
of the youths were hesitant to work
for farmer at so cents a day when
they were being offered jobs that
pay three and four times as much.
He said many of the Scouts are
taking summer jobs as messengers
for the Government.
Among the volunteers thus far,
Mr.. Drake pointed out. are num-
Der of yo~,hs who want the health
full work outdoors and the satisfac-
ton of contributing to the war ef-
fort.
In some localities. work camps
will be established and maintained
under competent leaders. From
these camps, labor will be drawn
for farms in the area. In other
sections, the younger lads are be-
ing organized for dry haul and
weekend work. They will be
transported daily from their homes
to the farms.
Another feature of the plan in
wolves the training and placing of
individual Scouts, 16 and over, as
resident farm help. In several
States. groups of older boys are at
tending Scout-operated farm schools
where they learn to drive tractors
and handle other farm implements.
The H. j. Heinz Co. is sponsoring
a series of newspaper advertise
ments to aid the Boy Scout cam
paign. The magazine Country Gen.
tlemen and other organiza ations are
also helping.

On 18th Street
Motorcycle Policemen
Hurt While Chasing
Speeding Driver

-Four persons were injured In a
crash involving a heavily loaded bus
and two automobiles during the rush
hour this morning at Sixteenth
street and Spring road NV.
Police said the bus rammed into
the rear of one automobile. which
in turn crashed into the back of
second automobile.
Injured were:
Mrs Helen Barnes. 40. of 1O4 East
wood avenue, Silver Spring, Nd,
shock
Robert Barnes, 49, of the Silver
Spring address, abrasions. Both
were treated at Garfield Hospital
for shock.
Thomas Callahan, %. of 59l7 Six
teenth street NV. treated at Gar
field Hospital for shock
James E. ODonnel. 49, also of
the Sixteenth street address. treated
at Garfield Hospital for a neck in
jury.
Police said all of those injured
were in the same automobile which
was struck by the bus. No one in
the second car was injured. Police
listed the driver of the bus as Will
liam N. Shaded, %, of 1885 N street
NV.
In another accident this morning
Policeman John SoboleWsky, "a, suf.
fered serious head injuries when
he was thrown from his motor
cycle while chasing a speeder at
Chevy Chase Circle and Western
avenue.
Police said Pvt. Sobolewsky skid
ded on the wet streets while pur-
suing an automobile with Motor
cycle Policeman Donald G.. Drager.
The driver was not apprehended, as
Mr.. Drager stopped to assist his fell
low officer.
Pvt. Sobolewsky was still uncon-
scious this morning in Emergency
Hospital
Meanwhile, statistics prepared by
the Police Accident Investigation
Unit for last week reflected the gas
oline famine Figures showed a
decrease of more than 20 per cent
in total accidents last week as COM
pared to the average of the previous
two weeks
Accidents involving pedestrians
dropped about 30 per cent last week
and motor vehicle collisions de-
creased about 20 per cent.
Police traffic experts regarded AS
significant the drop in pedestrian
injuries. since, in theory. the num-
ber should have increased, due to
the steady increase in pedestrian
traffic. An increase in pedestrian
injuries was expected in spite of
the curtailment of motor vehicle
traffic.

Commissioners Get
7 Budget Estimates
Walker and Hancock
Differ on Subject
Of Bond Payments

Two separate budget estimates for

payment CT maturing bonds and
proposed additional services. were
submitted to the Board of County
commissioners yesterday by J. For
est Walker. clerk of the boarc, and
Alexander K. Hancock, county ac-
Countant.
In summary which accompanied
the detailed budget as drawn up by
Mr.. Hancock, Mr.. Walker estima ted
that $4,000 is a sufficient amount
of its bonded indebtedness for The
county to retire in any one year.
and that additional services should
be provided, with no increase in the
tax levy.
Mr.. Hancock's estimate provtd IS
for full payment of the county's
s66l ,050 bonded indebtedness which
falls due during the year in order
that the county may be placed On a
sound financial basis and may better
meet the expenses of needed i'm
provements after the war
Commissioners Can Revise.
Mr.. Hancock also pointed out that
additional services in the county
should be paid for from tax in
cerases and not from funds trans
ferred from those earmarked for
debt payment.
Mr.. Hancock explained that he
and Mr.. Walker worked together on
the budget estimate and decided on
submitting two summaries when it
was found that they disagreed on
the debt refunding and service items.
He pointed out that the Commits
sioners need not accept either esti-
mate, but may revise the budget in
any manner which they believe will
serve the best interests of the
county.
State Tax Lower.
A public hearing on the budget
was set for pm. June 10 at the
court house in Rockville.
1t was understood that the Com
missioners plan to fix the general
county tax rates and sign the an
nual levy late this month. The
present general tax rate of sl.50 for
each s100 of real and personal prop
erty is expected to be continued. it
was said. The State tax will be
l2S. cents, or IA cents lower than
last year.
The principal difference in the
two summaries is in the estimated
funds for bonds and interest. Where
Mr.. Hancock provides a total of
S1.153.9l667 in this item, Mr.. Walker
reduced this estimate by 1922 900
which would be used for other
services.
Under Mr.. Walkers summary, this
$222, 900 fund would be used to in
crease the contingent fund, includ-
ing civilian defense and the lateral
road fund. and would also provide
a $4,000 fund for teachepvbonuses

additional nurses each month to the

Needs of Corps Increased.
Although the removal of the ban
on married women from the corps
has cut down the losses through dis
charge, and has brOadened the field
for recruitment. the opening of new
hospitals and the increasing number
OF overseas assignments has in
creased the needs of the corps, Col.

that the number enrolled would al
