Two Virginia Candidates
Pledge Aid 10 Veterans

Two candidates in Virginia's 9th
district primary congressional race
yesterday pledged support to re-
turning veterans.
Frank NJ Hurst of Alexandria, in
an address before the Arlington Or
ganized Women Voters Club, said
the Government is not providing
discharged soldiers with work or
housing and that the CT Bill of
Rights is mot worth the paper it is
written on"
Maj. James B. Tate, also of Alex
andria, stated the most important
problem the country faces is the
rehabilitation of 100000 veterans
and aiding their return to normal
living.
Maj. Tate, former Arlington resi-
dent, in his first campaign speech
supported extension of OPA in its
present form, extension of selective
service, Federal aid for education
and abolition of the poll tax.
Mrs. Barbara T. Brown, repre-
sentating Mrs. Elizabeth Chiffon
Murray of Fairfax, quoted Mrs.
Murray as saying Virginia is not
adequately represented in the 9th
district, and that citizens should not
permit apathy to kill such legisla-
ton as selective service and OPA
extension and the food-for- Europe
program.
The meeting was in the Mount
Olivet Methodist Church.

Of Assault, One Freed
BY the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May GA
three judge panel in Anne Arundel
County Circuit Court yesterday con-
victed Charles William Ross, 90
colored, Huntsville, Md, of criminal
assault and sentenced Ajm to death.
His 2l-year-old brother Walter was
acquitted of the same charge.
The Ross brothers were two of
four Huntsville colored youths ac-
cused of criminany attacking q 49,
year-old Seat Pleasant girl near the
Prince Georges. County community
March II. Raymond Washington,
Is, and Willie Taylor, 16, were tried

CPA
Cuts Building 70
Aid G| Housiinq
40% of Construction
Permits Refused Due
To Lack of Priority
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 23.-Approxi-
mately 40 per cent of general build
ing proposed in Maryland within the
last two months has been disap-
proved in order to give preference to
veterans housing. the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration disclosed
today.
Since March 26, when Federal
restrictions were imposed on general
construction, the Maryland CPA Of
flee has handled some 512 appIca-
tlons for projects valued at about
$24, ,000, 900. Many of these were
turned down on grounds that their
urgency was not sufficient to justify
priority over housing for veterans.
Latest figures show that through
May 10, the total value of projects
considered by the State CPA head
quarters was $21, ,305e40. The agency,
however, is not concerned with
overall costs, but with building costs.
Actions Explained.
OF the $21 ,305 $40 total, s18,252 496
was earmarked for actual construc-
ton. The CPA approved projects
involving building outlays of s13o45,-
082, and disapproved others whose
construction costs would have
totaled s5,2o7,414.
o. w. Carman, district manager
Of the Maryland Office, explains that
he and his staff of analysts are
guided in their decisions on appli-
cations by several primary factors:
l. Will the proposed project re-
quire the use of materials which
cannot justifiably be diverted from
the veterans housing program?
2. Will it produce critically needed
articles or goods?
3. How will it affect the general
welfare and economy, including the
providing of employment?
Opposes Luxury Output.
Generally speaking, the CPA looks
ifavorably upon projects whose pur-
pose is to produce badly needed ar
ticles, and is disinclined to approve
those providing luxuries and COM
forts that could be deferred, Mr.,
Carman says
FOR example, IL mas authorized or
recommended authorization of struc-
lures in which telephone wire, cable,
hot-water heaters, nail kegs and
steel products will be manufactured.
1t has rejected proposals for a
beauty shop, sports arena, retail
stores and remodeling of a bank.
The agency held that these projects
could be deferred, desirable though
they are from various standpoints.
While the construction of stores
was approved in one community,
somewhat similar project was dis
approved for another. The reason.
Mr.. Carman explained, was that
one of the communities lacked
shopping areas, while the other
had them.
Frequently the CPA staff urges
changes IN building plans which
permit the saving of critical mate
rials. One of the scarcest of these
is brick. So, if the builder of a
commercial structure agrees to use
other materials, the brick saved can
be used in the housing program.
The changes often lead to approval
OF applications, but sometimes, the
CPA admits, architectural appear
ances are injured

Alexandra Reported
Facing First Deficit
Due 10 Pay Increases

Alexandra faces the first deficit
in its history as the result of added
expenditures not provided in the
1916 budget, but there is every
reason to believe that we can cope
with the problem satisfactorily, .
City Manager Carl Budwesky de-
clared today.
Salary increases of more than
100000 have been authorized by the
City Council, including those for the
Police and Fire Departments, and
the Council passed on first reading
$50 monthly increase for public
school teachers Tuesday night.
The 100000 plus additional ap-
preparations outside of the budget
which since have been authorized
make the expenditures sl50,0O0 in
excess of the 1916 budget. Some of
the special appropriations can be
taken out of current revenues, Mr.
Budwesky explained.
Whether or not the necessary
amount can be- raised through tax
increases or other sources, I am not
in position to say, but I am sure
the city will be in position to solve
the problem later on.
What am very much concerned
with is keeping check on expend-
itures to the extent that the deficit
remains at $150,0OO and does not
jump to $350,000." he pointed out.
According to Mr.. Budwesky, the
city has in the past borrowed money
to meet current expenditures on the
basis of anticipated revenues, and
always for capital improvements
not for salary increases. In previ-
GUS years revenues have exceeded
the budget needs, but no surplus has
ever been accumulated to equal the
$3.50 900 deficit reported by the city
manager this year.
The 1916 budget which established
a record for the city was set at
$2,007 $3.50, compared to $1,823 ,804.46
for 1945. The city also is protesting
cut of $4,000 in funds allocated
by the State to the Department OF
Public Welfare.

Growers Resent
|Lownless Of Bids
All tobacco Sale
Threaten to Take
Crop From Auction
In Upper Marlboro

The chant of the auctioneers rang
again today in Upper Marlboro's
three tobacco warehouses after the
season opened yesterday with tota,
sale of approximately 25O,000 pounds
of leaf tobacco
The majority of the growers ex.
pressed dissatisfaction with the
priceS-which averaged So cents a
pound and ranged from low of IL
to a high of 81 cents-although the
average was only about 4 cents less
than last seasons average.
Some growers refused offers on
their tobacco, choosing to await fu-
ture offers of even threatening tc
move it to other auction areas
Offers on approximately 10000
pounds of tobacco were refused by
the growers, who maintained bids
were too low.
The sales started rather slowly In
the morning, but accelerated in the
afternoon, by which time the grow
ers were rejecting much fewer offers
than they had been in the morning
About 600 growers were repre-
sented at the sale. which attracted
a total crowd of more than 1000
person. Some of the growers brought
only few hundred pounds of their
produce, while others had 1000 or
5000 pounds for sale.
Representatives of the six prin-
cipal tobacco companies were at the
warehouses, and the heaviest buy
ing reported was by a firm which is
engaged in the export trade. Most
of the tobacco is shipped to Switz-
erland, where brand of cigarettes
entitled "Maryland' is sold.
The growers, in complaining of
the "low prices" declared that al
though disease had reduced last
seasons harvest the leaf offered
yesterday was some of the best that
has ever been offered for sale in
Maryland.
The three warehouses are Hall
Bros. Edelen Bros and Planters
Warehouse representatives in some
cases bid for and bought baskets
themselves in an effort to keep the
bidding up.
The auction will continue through
