whom she later identified as jack
son and Cochran, got out and
forced her into the car. She asked
to be taken to North Dakota ave-
nue. and Bladensburg road NE. The
men refused, however, and drove
around for about an hour, after
which two men she identified as
Mitchell and Jarboe got out.
After driving about the county
for another hour or so, during
which the woman repeatedly asked
to be released, the men drove to an
isolated spot in Dodge Park, where
they attacked her. They then took
her to streetcar line on Kenil-
worth avenue in the District and
permitted her to leave. She went
to Gallinger Hospital, where, &C
cording to police, physician exam
ined her and said she had been

with a cracked windshield. Police
man Richard A. Pearson said he
spotted car answering. that de-
scription yesterday as it passed him
while he was cruising on the Balti-
more boulevard in Colmar Manor.
The car later was identified by the
woman as the one in which she had
been attacked, according to Police
man Caldwell. Onicer Pearson said
the driver told him he had pur-
chased the car from two men and
was en- route to North Carolina.
The policeman said the driver
took them to the home Of Mitchell

Tax RATE Boost
Is Approved for
Prince Georges
Funds Of $4,000
Voted; Education
Gets Biggest Boost

A Decent increase over the pres
ent $145 tax rate coupled with a
$172,000 boost in expenditures, is
contained in $1,751,342 budget for
1856 approved yesterday by the
Prince Georges County commits
sioners. The current budget totals
$1,578,818.
In statement issued after they
signed the budget, the commission
ers pointed out that despite the con-
templated increase in expenditures,
It was found that because of the
economical management of county
affairs, the tax rate could be held at
$155 for each 500 of assessed valu-
alton"
Largest increase is provided for
education, with S1,113, 400 to be ap-
propriated during the coming fiscal
year-a jump of more than $89, 1000
over the total for the fiscal year
ending June 30.
Respond to Requests.
The board declared that approval
OF the increase was made in re-
Spouse to requests by the County
School Board, parent-teacher asso-
Citations and other residents of the
county. The additional funds will
make possible a 500 increase in
minimum teachers salaries as we'll
as provided in the teacher salary
scale adopted last year.
The commissioners also explained
that since the $1,300,000 bond issue
for school construction authorized
by the State Legislature will not be
sold until after the war, no provision
was made in the budget for payment
Of the bonds.
Other items in the budget in
clude:
Police, 155,00O-an increase of
$25 900. This includes a Is per cent
salary increase for county police
men and will enable the commits
sionerS to appoint emergency police
men, as needed, under bill passed
by the Legislature.
Public general assistance, S44 1926,
as compared with the present $751;
614 appropriation. This increase is
caused by the rise in the cost of
living, according to the commits
sioners.
Health Department, $4,000, as
compared with $4,000 this year, to
facilitate the appointment of addi-
tional nurses.
More for Almshouse.
County almshouse, $19,0O0-an in
creoSe of Cd mn o,fo,- THE x,a,r. e,,r,
mer recreation program, $40, 760 as
compared with $4,000, and estab-
lishment of rat control program,
$4,000. The commissioners also
approved appropriation of $1,000 for
bonuses for county employees be-
cause of the increased cost of living.
The commissioners cut $38, 900 of
this years budget by eliminating the
item for election. expenses since
there will bc. no election this year.
The appropt ation for civilian de-
tense represented a decrease of |
$4,000 from the 1944-5 outlay of
$4,000, while insurance on county
buildings will cost $1,000 less than
last year.
In approving the civilian defense
reduction, the commissioners point
ed out that certain activities will be |
eliminated because they are no
longer necessary. At the same time,
however, they explained that the
control center for the various county
fire departments has been found
successful and will be continued
after the war. Otherwise, they
added, the cut in civilian defense
funds would have been greater.

Faced by 5 Tayerns
AT CoImar Manor

Owners of five establishments In
Colmar Manor, Md, whose liquor
licenses have been suspended by the
County Liquor Board. will appear
before the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil at 8 pm. Tuesday in the Town
Hall to show cause why their bust
ness licenses should not be revoked.
In scheduling the hearing at a
meeting of the Council last night,
Mayor Torvestad explained that
revocation of the permits would
prevent the establishments from
using their business licenses "as a
front to stay open and sell, liquor. "
He added that the town already has
suspended their liquor licenses in
accordance with the liquor boards
action.
Those summoned to appear are
Max Pincus, operator of the Pincus
Grill: George Williams, operator of
the Hi-Boy; Walter Shelton, owner
of Otto's Grill; Oscar Goodrum,
owner Of Bob's Liquor Store, and
Celle Kowmas, operator of Jimmie s
Place.
Mayor Torvested said that unless
evidence is shown to the contrary,
the Council will revoke their BUSH
ness licenses until their lisnor IL
censes are restored by the liquor
board.
The Council also adopted a reso-
luton urging the grand jury for
the April term of Circuit Court,
which meets Monday, to investigate
the alleged violation by many liquor
establishments in the county of the
law with respect to the sale of food
Under the law, according to the
! Mayor, liquor establishments are
required to sell a certain amount OF
food in proportion to the amount OF
liquor sold. Many of these establish
ments, however. do not sell any food
even though they have restaurant
licenses, Mayor Torvestad said.

Montgomery County
Recreation Program
will Be Continued

A general recreation program will
be provided again this summer for
every section of suburban Mont
gomery County, Park Commissioner
E. Brooke Lee announced yesterday
He said next summers program will
be continuation of the program
of the last two summers and will
be operated and supported on the
same general plan and in most COM
munities will be located on the site
used last summer.
Col. Lee said the Park and Plan
ming Commission program last year,
which included 3,4O0 children, will
continue to operate with the school
program. He emphasized, however,
that the commission regards coun-
ty-wide recreation program as an
important function Of local govern
ment, but not as an essential &C
tivity in which all children are
required to participate.
Col. Lee said the program will
again be based primarily on the
county park system, with the largest
enrollments expected at the Bethes-
da-C Chevy Chase Recreation Center,
Jesup Blair Park, Kensington Recre-
alton Center and the Rock Greek
Recreation Center. More general
programs are expected in the Hill
andale Park and South Four Cor
ners Park where new recreation
buildings have been built by the
Park and Planning Commission.
Approximately 20 other programs
are planned in different commune
ties.
Col. Lee said legislation still
pending at Annapolis which affects
the Park and Planning Commission
applies almost entirely to the recre-
alton jurisdiction and program OF
| the commission and authorized the
continuation of the recreational pro-
grams in the same general manner
that they have been conducted in
Montgomery County for the last two
summers and Winters

Randolph Sends Plea
To President 10 Block
Potomac Dam Project

Representative Randolph, Demo-
GRAFT. of West Virginia yesterday ap-
pealed directly to President Roose-
welt to use his influence to kill the
proposals of Army engineers for
construction of IA power and flood
control dams in the Potomac River
Basin.
While voicing belief that Secre-
tary Of Interior 1ckes would actively
oppose" the pending proposals,
which are scheduled for a public
hearing here April 3, Mr.. Randolph
announced he was sending this
message to the President:
Il urgently request your careful
study and, hope. your opposition
to the Potomac River power and
flood control proposal of the Army
engineers.
Sees Tax Revenue Loss.
Productive and tax-revenue
property to an unconscionable ex-
tent would be destroyed by the plan.
Business enterprises and the
actual livelihood of thousands of
loyal citizens would be in jeopardy.
The development is unwarranted
and unwise."
Mr.. Randolph, chairman of the
House District Committee, said he
could not believe that President
Roosevelt would lend his support to
the proposed program.
Hesreached this conclusion be-
cause "the vast system of IA reser-
voirs will absolutely wreck pros
porous communities, isolate business
centers and unnecessarily obliterate
the historic countryside of the Po-
tonac and Shenandoah Valleys, in
Guiding the natural approaches to
Washington. There are no common
surate values to be gained
Supported Other Projects.
Mr.. Randolph, who supported leg
islation creating the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority and other power and
flood control measures, said "it may
be" that one or two dams properly
could be constructed in the Potomac
and Shenandoah Valleys, but that
the present program was entirely
out of proportion"
He recommended completion of
the Savage River Dam. near Pied
mont, w. Va, now about 10 per
cent finished, and urged that it be
made an immediate postwar project.
This, he said, would create benefits
without causing heavy losses. This
project was halted several years ago
due to war conditions. =
If a need should develop for
additional power for the National
Capital and other sections, he said,
this could be supplied by construc-
ton Of plants in the coal mining
regions Of West Virginia.
Confers With Ickes.
Mr.. Randolph revealed that he
had discussed the 14-dam proposals
in a conference with Secretary
Ickes Monday and that he gained
the impression Mr.. Ickes was ready
to join actively in opposing the
program.
Discussing the damages that
would be caused In West Virginia if
the pending plans were eliminated,
Mr.. Randolph said the I'd West
Virginia district, which he repre-
sents, would be the hardest hit of all
Mr.. Randolph said it had been
estimated that construction of the
dams would flood properties in 6
of the Is counties in his district
which, on the basis of taxes now
collected from such properties,
would amount to tax revenue losses,
as follows: Jefferson County, 1929
per cent; Morgan County, 1874 per
cent; Berkeley County, lit per cent;
Hampshire, 249 per cent; Mineral,
rs per cent, and Grant County,
