Asked
For Welfare in
Prince Georges
$20, ,423 Increase
Asked Over Lost Yeur
In Budget Request

A proposed 1945-46 Welfare Board
budget calling for expenditures OF
$l02, ,464-an increase of $40, ,423 over
the $82,040 appropriation for the
current year-was being studied to-
day by the Prince Georges County
commissioners.
The budget, submitted to the conn.,
missioners yesterday by Mrs. Doro-
thy Ogburn, executive secretary OF
the Welfare Board, contemplates q
Is per cent increase in all allot-
rnents because Of rising living costs
Items included in the budget are
General public assistance, $44, ,926
as compared with the $31,6l4 ap-
propriated for this purpose in the
current levy; old age assistance, $l9,-
938, as compared with $16,861 in the
1884 fiscal year; aid to depend
ent children, $14.5l1, as compared
with $10,88S in the present county
budget; board of children, $l4,464
as compared with $11,021, and ad-
ministration, $7,l99, as compared
with s6,276 in the current budget.
One Cut Proposed
The only reduction proposed In
the budget is in the appropriation
for public assistance to needy blind
A total of 81, 1,422 is requested for the
coming fiscal year as compared with
81 GIT in the present budget.
The commissioners also received
a proposed educational program fol
the county from representatives OF
the County Council Of Parent
Teacher Associations.
Mrs. Helen C. Ditman, council
president, requested that any jump
in the State contribution be used te
increase the minimum teachers
salary in the county.
"It is apparent" Mrs. Ditman de.
clared, that unless salaries ol
teachers in Prince Georges County
are further increased, we shall con.
tinue to lose teachers to the point
that our children will receive less
than adequate instruction"
$l,7O0 Minimum Promised.
She added that the Board oi
Education has promised to establish
a $1,700-a-year minimum salary fol
teachers instead of $1,000 as al
present If the boards proposed bud
get for the coming year is approved
Pointing out that proposals tc
establish a 12-year system in the
county and to reduce the pupil
teacher load will require the con-
struction Of new schools, Mrs. Dit
man recommended an increase ir
the county tax rate to finance these
essential improvements" She said
a survey Of organizations in the
county has revealed no opposition
to a tax increase for such a pur-
pose.
She said the council also has in
dorsed the proposed 1945-46 Health
Department budget, calling for an
assistant health officer, IL addi-
tional nurses and four more clerical
workers. Expansion OF the Health
Department, she asserted, win af-
ford DR.. John M. Byers, county
health officer, an opportunity to de-
vote more attention to the health OF
school children. The proposed pro-
gram was taken under advisement
by the commissioners.

To Liquor Referenda
In 7 Maryland Towns
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. IA
Hopes of hackers of the two bills to
provide for referenda on the con-
tinuation of liquor sales in Colmar
Manor and Cottage City, two COM
munities in Prince Georges County,
were lessened today by ayowed oppo-
sition of the Ways and Means Com
mittee chairman.
Chairman Luber told a group of
residents of the two towns who
urged favorable action on the meas
ure yesterday at noisy hearing to
remember the horrors and what
prohibition did after 1918" and de-
clared that he was against any
referendum while our boys are over
seas"
Andrew C. Tackitt. a town COM
missioner of Colmar Manor, testi-
fed that latter midnight on Satur-
day, Washington turns the scum of
the city into Colmar Manor and 1t

He told of ONCE of Defense Trans
portation representatives counting
1,742 taxicabs from washington en-
tering the city in one night.
Another Colmar Manor commits
sioner, Robert v. Yost, declared
"the liquor people sell whisky on
Sunday and 1t would take half the
troops of Fort Meade to patrol the
town after midnight.
Chief of Police Henry Casper said
his force of five was unable to cope
with the influx of Washingtonians
into the community after midnight
Saturdays.
Mayor John Torvestad of Colmar
Manor was leader of the pro-ref-
erenda delegation.
Blspes Law Agencies.
Main opposition to the bills came
from the Prince georges County
Hotel and Restaurant owners As
ISOLATION, through its spokesman
Robert w. Mccullough.
Mr.. Mccullough claimed condi-
tions complained about by the
townspeople were the fault of the
law enforcement agencies and esti-
mated the State would lose $3l3, 500
in revenue if the measures were
passed and the referenda succeeded.
Many of the group of nearly 100
appearing at the hearing wore tags
inscribed "We want the right to
vote on the liquor question"

Elects Bender 10 Fill
Vice Mayor Vacancy

George K. Bender, councilman
from the fourth ward, was elected
Vice Mayor OF Alexandria by the

Sees Revenue Possibility.
Mr.. Hulfish pointed out that many
residents of the city could enjoy the
water front If the proposed improve.
ments were completed, and that rev.
enue could be derived from a boat
house concession.
Mr.. Budwesky told the Council
that ownership of the portion of the
river now being filled by the cit,
was in doubt, since the Interior De.
partment has granted the city per.
mission to make. the fill on condi.
ton that no right of ownership i.
waived.
The whole question of the bound.
airy dispute enters into the mat.
ter, Mr.. Budwesky pointed out
adding that it was brought to ligh-
when houseboat owners recently
were ordered by the city to vacatt
the portion Of the river now beine
filled and protested that the prop.
erty involved belonged to the Fed
eral Government.
Says Congress Action Needed.
According to Mr.. Budwesky. con.
gressional action will be required
before the final ownership of the
area is definitely decided.
The Council granted the request

only minor capital expenditures.
Public Hearing Arranged.
The board set public budget

Board Member Edmund D. Camp
bell, who offered the motion for the
tax increases, said anticipated rev.
