Boundary Issue
Ito Be Put Before
House on Monday

The century -old District Virginia
boundary issue, as well as a number
of other municipal questions, is to be
placed before the House Monday for
District Day" action. /..--
A compromise" plan is to be sug-
gested on the boundary question, as
a result of a conference at pm.
yesterday between Chairman RAN
dolph of the House District Com
mittee and Representative Stefan,
Republican, of Nebraska, the latter
announced last night.
This would place the airport with
in the Virginia boundary, but with
a proviso that the airport be de-
clared a Federal reservation with its
jurisdiction placed exclusively" in
the United States, Mr.. Stefan said.
Such a plan had been suggested
before, but was rejected because
Virginia spokesman insisted on the
right Of the Old Dominion State to
tax private commercial activities at
the port, including at least some Of
the gasoline used by the airlines.
However, Representative Smith.
Democrat, Of Virginia said he prob
ably" would not fight the suggested
plan. The territory involved already
is owned entirely by the United
States.
In the past, one of the major
detectives to any amendment Of
the boundary bill has been that any
change would require approval by
the Virginia Legislature, entailing a
delay, if not conflict, over ratifica-
ton.
Virginia already has passed a bill
to set the boundary at the present,
instead Of the uncertain historic,
h1ghwater mark the Virginia shore
of the Potomac River.
Mr.. Stefan said he would fight
against adoption of the bill unless
1t contained clause giving the
United States exclusive jurisdiction
over the airport 80 Virginia would
have no control" over the port.

$3,480,655 Budget
For Montgomery
County Approved

A $3,4s0, 655 80 Montgomery County
budget for the fiscal year beginning
July !, 1945, representing q reduc-
ton of $53, 802.26 from the 1884,
458.25 appropriated last year, today
bore the approval of the county
commissioners.
The action was taken at a special
board meeting yesterday in Rock
vile, at which the present basic
county tax rate of $3.50 per 500 was
maintained for the coming year.
Appropriations in the new budget
are virtually the same as those in
the tentative draft made public last
month, with the exception of an
$1,000 item for establishment and
maintenance of a dog pound and an
increase of $500 for insurance.
Approve 40-C Cent Property Tax.
In addition, the commissioners
approved Accent assessment on
property used for commercial and in
dustrial purposes in the Silver
Spring business area and 20-cent
tax on unimproved real estate in
the area which is zoned for COM
mercial or industrial use.
These special taxes are contained
In bill passed at the last session
of the State Legislature providing
for off-street parking facilities in
the Silver Spring business district.
In approving the budget, the COM
missioners denied demands last
week by representatives of more
than 100 Parent-Teacher Associa-
tons and civic groups that a SIT 900
slash in the Board of Education's
estimate for the coming year be
restored even if it means increas-
ing our taxes"
Schools Get More Money.
Largest item in the budget is ST.
446,141 for schools-an increase of
$4,000 over last years appropria-
, ton. The commissioners also ap-
propriated total of $23, 400 for new
jobs created by the 1915 Legislature
The new county positions include
a county supervisor at $4,000 a
year; civil service commissioner,
$4,000; a purchasing agent, $1,000,

A protest against the commission
ers' action in setting aside $145, 900
in unallocated funds was made in
a letter to the board from Mrs.
Ralph Himstead, president of the
County League of Women Voters.
Declaring that the funds would
more than cover" the additional
appropriation requested by the
Board of Education, Mrs. Himstead
asserted:
1--WE are ashamed of the physical
condition of our schools Such con-
ditions are a source of embarrass-
ment to our county"
Criticizing what she described as
the boards plan to distribute the
unallocated funds "piecemeal" to
care for specific needs which the
county deems necessary, Mrs. Him
stead said:
This is the kind of government |
control over government depart
ments that makes any budgetary
planning in departments impos-
sible."

Army Denies P0Ws
On Maryland Farms
Are Being Underfed
BY the Associated Press.

CAMP SOMERSET, Westover,
Md, June 23-Denying charges that
German prisoners of war working on
Eastern Shore farms are receiving
insufficient food, Col. Eugene j.
Fitzgerald says the caloric content
of their meals is within 800 points
Of the daily maximum set by War
Department directive.
Col. Fitzgerald, commanding OH
Ger of Camp Somerset, the Eastern
Shore base prisoner of war camp,
asserted, 1.-THE importance Of keeping
the prisoners in 1T condition to do
o full days work with maximum
efficiency and health and thus fur
nish the required manpower Is fully
appreciated by Army authorities.
The charges that prisoners "are
being Systematically starved to
death" was made to- members of
Maryland's congressional delegation
by Associate Editor Jack Culver and
Reporter Bettine Goodall of the
Democratic Messenger, Snow Hill
weekly newspaper.
Their telegram to Senator'S Tyd-
ings and Radcliffe and Representa-
tive Roe, Democrats, said that at
one noon meal they were given
three slices of plain bread and cup
of coffee"
Concerning this specific meal, Col.
Fitzgerald said:
For the men working on details
away from the camp, who are pro-
vided with box lunches, there were
furnished three frankfurter sand
wiches. This may account for the
report that one group OF men had
only three slices of bread, since 1t is
not infrequent for the prisoners Of
war to eat the frankfurters first and
then consume the bread"
He said the Army had established
q range Of $500 to $500 Galleries for
daily meals of prisoners, depending
on the type of work they were per-
forming, and that those at the Ber-
lin, Md, branch camp from which
workers in the Snow Hill area were
assigned, were receiving approx
mately 3,40o per day.

ued "a study as to the situation in

Cure for Puerto Rico's Ills

of Congress to repeal any laws
adopted by the Legislature of Puerto
Rico, often make for administrative
chaos.
Another severe handicap is the
lack of a definite policy toward
Puerto Rico, he says, making plan
ming difficult.
Puerto Rico has suffered, he said,
from Federal laws which have af-
fected her economic structure ad-
versely. Among these he cited
the trade agreements by which
Puerto Rico lost her coffee trade
with France, Austria and Spain be-
fore the war, the restriction on
sugar quotas, and the application
of labor laws which practically de-
stroyed her embroidery industries.
Mr.. Sanz offered figures and surveys

Statehood for the island is his am

Information Center
Has Handled 266, ,903
Queries in 20 Months

Since its establishment about 20
months ago the District Informa-
tion Center of the Greater National
Capital Committee of the Washing
ton Board of Trade has answered
some 266,903 separate queries, it was
announced last night.
These have varied in nature from
simple inquiries about the location
of hotels, churches and public build
ings to frantic appeals from desti-
tute people.
The Information Center, located
at 1921 Pennsylvania avenue, just
across from the National Theater,
is under the direction of Mrs. Clara
Weight Smith and her assistant,
Mrs. Aida Campbell. 1t is one of
four civic projects which will receive
support from this months cam
paign for $35 900 being conducted by
the Greater National Capital Com
mittee.
Since its establishment nearly
two years ago, the Information Gen.
ter has specialized in aiding serv-
icemen and their families, although
it has received many inquiries from
civilians, too.
"One of today's problems" the
committee announced, land one on
which the center has been working
vigorously since We day, is the
gathering of information for city
entertainment of merchant seamen
and men out of uniform, forgot
ten men, no longer eligible to at
tend many of the service clubs
still restricted to service personnel
in uniform.
Many war casualties come to the
center-either from hospitals or
after they are discharged. Many
are helpless and confused. They
have no friends in the city and
no place to go. One of Mrs. Smiths
major projects today is compiling
list of places for free entertain
