Alexandra Is Facino
lis First Deficit as
Result Of Pay Raises

The city of Alexandria is likelv
to face the first deficit in its history
when the 1916 books are balanced
according to City Manager Carl
Budwesky, who said today that the
recently authorized pay raises given
city employees must come from cur
rent rather than capital funds and
were not taken into consideration
when the 1916 budget of approx
mately 100000 was approved.
On the heels of an hourly raise
granted outside employees of the
Engineering Department last week
the City Council in executive ses-
sion Tuesday night increased the
pay OF Police Department employees
$50 month and authorized the
employment of 10 additional patrol
men. At the same time the mini
mum salary for new patrolmen was
raised from $1,000 to s2,160 a year.
The departments pay scale now
ranges to $2,860, paid after five
years service.
1ollCe OlleI EQgar Sims stated
that there are now 13 vacancies on
the force as three of the 10 new
positions authorized when the bud
get was approved in December have
not yet been filled.
Alexandria policemen get only
two days month off and the paw
raise is intended to compensate
them for this. as well as for time
spent in court on their off-time.
The increase of the department
personnel to 50 as authorized this
week is expected to make it DOS
able to give the men a day off a
week when all of the vacancies have
been filled.
Other city department heads have
been invited to appear before coun-
Gil to discuss salary increases for
their personnel, which, if granted,
Will increase the anticipated deficit,
according to Mr.. Budwesky.

Club Welfare Group
Urges Independent
Prince Georges Unit

Establishment of a laymen's Or
ganization independent of the Com
munity Chest and other welfare
agencies to care for emergency cases
in Prince Georges County was urged
yesterday by members of the We'll
fare Committee of the County Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs.
Committee members attacked what
they termed the failure of the Chest
and other welfare groups to furnish
immediate aid to persons who need
it. Although no formal action was
taken by the committee, Mrs. Ralph
Shelter, chairman, said the matter
would be taken up at the May meet
ing Of the federation's executive
board.
Declaring that gap" exists in
the functions of welfare agencies,
Mrs. Shelter said local lay group
should be set up to remedy the sit
uation. She cited several cases in
which she said emergency care for
destitute persons and families could
not be obtained.
Hits Social Agency Council.
Mrs. Shelter also criticized the
action of the Washington Council
of Social Agencies in surveying the
countys social needs with a view
to recommending remedial meas
ures.
I'VE feel our people have enough
experience and intelligence to know
what we need and want without
guidance from outside agencies" she
asserted.
She also contended that the Com
munity Chest should not control all
the services available in a COM
munity, adding that local agencies
know best what the welfare needs
are.
THE professional social worker
has fallen down on the job," Mrs.
Shelter declared. Under the pres
ent system, we give our money for
welfare services but we are not
getting dssr nigney' saworth."
Fan Id Emergencies.
Other speakers who criticized the
alleged failures Of professional wei
fare groups to furnish emergency
aid included Mrs. ]. Howard Hop
kins, Mrs. William Green and Mrs.
Paul Jackson.
Maurice P. McGrath, assistant
service officer Of the Maryland Vet
erans' Commission, assailed welfare
and social agencies for refusing to
investigate needy cases reported tc
them by private citizens. He said
the agencies refuse to furnish aid
until the person or family needing
aid applies itself.
The meeting was held at the
Mount Rainier Christian Church.

the Metropolitan Area and the Fed
eral system. PRA figures disclosed
that IS per cent of traffic on arteries
leading into cities of more than
300, 900 population is destined for the
city. For this reason it is essential
that the Northwest Freeway not be
altered so as to bypass Washington
entirely by means of proposed
bridge across the Potomac River in
the vicinity of Cabin John.
The freeway would have access tc
such bypass route and at the
same time furnish a fast and con-
venient artery for traffic feeding
into the proposed K street viaduct
which will traverse Washington and
feed into future express highways
leading into Southern Maryland
and to the northeast. The K street
viaduct would have limited access
points to downtown Washington
thus cutting by about 20 minutes
the time required for suburban
motorists to reach the center OF
town.
Traffic counts have shown an esti-
mated 10000 cars now travelling
Wisconsin avenue and the Rockville
pike daily, he said. The freeway
would take this heavy burden OF

Annapolis Gathering
Hears Democratic
Pleas for Support
6y the Asxocioted Press

Appeals by half dozen candidates
for nomination to State Offices and
the claim that another has sufficient
backing from dominant organi-
cations" to assure his nomination,
were before the Democrats of
Maryland today.
The principal bids for support
were made last night at a meeting
in Annapolis, sponsored by the
United Democratic Organization of
Anne Arundel County. In addition
to large number of candidates
for local offices, aspirants for
State and congressional positions
appeared on that program.
These included William Preston
Lane, jr., candidate for Governor;
Senator George L. Radcliffe, for the
United States Senate; Represent
ative Landsdale G. Sasscer, for
House of Representatives from the
5th district; Hall Hammond and
John S. White, for attorney general,
and James J. Lacy, for controller.
Wide O'Conor Backing Claimed.
In Baltimore, meanwhile, Hilary
w. Cans, general campaign chair
man for Gov. O'Conor, claimed
that Gov. O'Conor had sufficient
support from dominant organiza-
tions" throughout the State to
assure him "far more" than the II
convention votes needed to give
him the Democratic nomination for
the Senate in the race against
Senator Radcliffe.
Mr.. Sasscer came out fatty
against the merger of the Army and
Navy, declaring that he would direct
his energy and knowledge of the
subject" toward the defeat of the
merger bill in Congress.
Mr.. Lane told the meeting the
future Governor of Maryland must
demand the return to this State of
the rights and privileges that have
always been our heritage"
Fears Political "Meanderings."
Mr.. Radcliffe conceded that some
changes in business conditions were
inevitable in the wake of war but
asserted that I'VE must stick to our
historic basic principles. We
must see to 1t that no Communistic
or Fascist meanderings have any
place In our reconstruction"
The other major candidates spoke
briefly. Mr.. Hammond, now deputy
attorney general, and Mr.. Lacy are
running on Mr.. Lanes ticket. Mr..
White, who is speaker of the House
Of Delegates, is an independent can
didate for the attorney general
nomination.
Further indications that the vari-
Gus campaigns were gathering mo-
mentum were given by disclosure
that many of the candidates were
preparing to expand their political
headquarters space. For the princi-
pal candidates, these offices are con-
centrated in downtown hotels in
Baltimore.

National Capital Committee, and A.
M. McLachlen, chairman of that Or
ganizations' 1916 campaign commit
tee.
The war years forced a halt in the
publicity efforts of the committee,
which brought to prewar Washing
ton about 225 conventions and more
than 100000 tourists annually,
worth approximately $45 ,0OO, 900 to
businessmen here, Mr.. Morris said.
With the present increase in &C
comodations in the city, the COM
mittee has reverted to it's purpose of
bringing business to Washington, -
he added, with more than so con-
ventions booked for this year, and
the committee already planning for
the years ahead.
THE efforts we make now to get
conventions will pay off in the next
year or in the next few years." he
said.
Mr.. Morris declared his committee
had also been instrumental in the
decision to locate headquarters of
the World Bank and International
Monetary funds here.
Mr.. McLachlen announced plans
for campaign to raise $4,000 for
the committees work during the
next fiscal year. 1T is anticipated, y
he said, that in the years ahead the
expenditures made in Washington
as a result of the Greater Capital
Committees activities will reach
sec, ,000, ,00O."
Others Speak.
Robert B. Swope, chairman of the
building fund campaign for Chill
dren's Hospital, told the board of
plans for a coming campaign to
raise $l,300, 900 for expansion and
modernization of that institution
"by construction of a new building
to replace the old main building
on w street, which was built 70

ing patients by District inspectors
