Go. Board Moves
To Eliminate
Corner Hazards

The county commissioners at
their regular meeting on Tuesday,
took the first steps in the elimina-
ton of corner hazards in the coun-
~, by instructing Capt. Earl H.
Burdine, safety officer, to make
survey of blind intersections.
Several recent accidents have
been attributed. to the inability Of
motorists to see at corners where
81 rubbery obstructed their view.
Capt. Burdine was told to
contact private property owners
and ask them to remove, thin out
or otherwise make safe, obstruct-
ing hedges or shrubbery. In
event the request is not complied
with in ten days after notice,
Capt. Burdine was instructed to
have county road workers or
prisoners from the county Jail do
the necessary work and send the
b,ll to the owner. II the hazard
is on public property, the county
will correct it, or If on State
owned or controlled right Of way,
the State Roads Commission will
be asked to remove It.
The appointment of Capt.
HlIrdine to the Montgomery
County Safety Board was made
last. week by request Of the chair
man, Washington I. Cleveland,
that police officer be named to
the board. In this connection it
was announced that monthly meet
i1gs of the Safety Board will be
held in the future in the Com
inissioner's Hearing Room in
Rockville, beginning Tuesday
evening at 8 p. m. 81,
o. W. Anderson, county agent,
requested the board to continue
the services Of Edward X. Bender,
whose term as assistant in charge
of victory garden work expires
shortly, Mr.. Anderson asked
that Mr.. Bender be named to
assist. with the soil conservation
and insect control work. His
salary would be $4,000, one-third to
be paid by the county; two-third
hy the State. The commissioners
took this Under advisement.
Also taken under advisement
was a request from delegation Of
three residents of the Travilah
Urea for improvement of a road
rear Muddy Branch, said TO be
almost impossible in winter.
"It's the law-has been since
1885," replied Joseph A. CantreIl,
attorney to the commissioners,
when a protest was made Of the
tax Of 500 on the AZ pupil school
of Thomas w. Walton, Jr., at 1900
Old Georgetown Road, on the plea
that it works a hardship on small
schools. The school was given
renewed permit to operate.
Mrs. olga M. Zehnder was
granted a permit TO operate
twelve room Tourist Home on the
Dutrow farm at Clarksburg, sub
ject to fire inspection.
Elizabeth O'Brien, Of Rockville,
was appointed clerk in the treas
Lrer's Office at a salary of $1,000
ear.
Purchase Of a tract of land In
Silver Spring containing 1922
2 Iuare feet, was authorized for

While it is probable that the

Baltimore City and the counties
of the burden on real estate by
allocating portions of the States
revenue derived from such
sources as income tax, gasoline
tax, amusement tax, etc.
The report has been heartily
endorsed by Governor O'Conor
and by William Preston Lane,
Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. With Mr.. Lanes election
as Governor almost certainty,
the new administration will be
pledged to enact into law recon-
mendations of the Sherbow re-

rather complete overhauling of
our tax structure. While Balti-
more City will be given greatest
relief there will be a measure
of much needed relief to all of
the counties and incorporated

SUGAR-DANGER SIGNAL.
OF INITIATION.

Wherever there is talk Of sugar
the danger signals of imitation are
evident, with indications that su-
gar prices are being ticketed for
substantial increase
A very important angle Of the
threatened onward and upward
scales of prices for sugar seems TO
have come to the surface in the
past few weeks. The direct increase
in the public's national sugar bill
for home consumption has already
mounted into territically high fig
ures-but that doesn't begin to tell
the story.

Unlike many manufacturers Of
other products who often want to
see Il retail increase in the price
paid for their merchandise. the pro-
ducerS of the 80 SuSar-COntaining

pay more for their articles: these
industrialists insist that they want
to maintain the 80 retail price
which the consumer pays for their
products. They are. therefore,

RUSSIAN POLICY HELD BATTLING

the delay in evacuation a means of
bringing pressure on Iran to accept?
What was the purpose of requesting
that Russia should keep its troops in
definitely in certain parts of Iran? Was
it for Russian security? Or was it to
protect the inhabitants of Iranian Aver
baijan against revenge by the Iranian
government once Russian troops had
withdrawn? Did Gromyko know of
these proposals? If not, why did his
government not inform him of them?
1 ask for light on all these matters
because in substantial issues think
the Russian government has a very
strong case. If Great Britain can have
a vast oil concession in Southern Iran,
there are just as good grounds for CIV
ing Russia, on fair terms, similar
concession in Northern Iran. Above all,
I do not doubt that social and political
reform is long overdue in Iran.
But why could not the Russian govern
ment openly ask for these things and
arrive at an agreed solution upon them
through the machinery Of the United
Nations?
If there is to be the kind of behavior
Mr.. Gromyko displayed in walking out
of the Council session, two grave prob
lens arise. There is, first, the issue of
whether meeting Of the Security
