The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-10-04
To the Editor:


Why is Governor Green so
unwilling to demand a public
explanation from Harry Ash,
his state superintendent of
crime prevention. as to just
what role Ash played in the
parole scandal inv olving
Charles Gioe and four other
Capone gangsters?
Is it because the Republican
party in this area depends on
hoodlum support for part of its
votes? 1t seems to me that that
can't be considered out of the
question, considering the part
that Chieago's own Dan Serri-
tella and other pals of the
hoodlums have played in the
COP organization in this state.
The governor can't be con-
strained by fear that the DEM
ocrats would profit by such an
investigation of Ash's conduct.
The Democrats themselves are
deeply involved in the scandal.
Apparently the coalition" pol
icy under which both parties
work out mutually agreeable
programs on everything rang
ing from foreign policy to our
own election of Superior Court
Judges also extends to hood
lunns.
Men prominent in both par
ties, setting partisan differences
aside, agreed to work for the
welfare of the Capone mob
sters, it seems.
In view of these facts, and
Governor Green's silence on
the matter, it must be assumed
that he is unwilling to investi-
gate the action of Ash because
he fears offending gangster
supporters.
It's an amazing stand from a
governor whose only qualifica-
ton to office was that he play
ed some minor role in prosecu-
ting Al Capone after govern
ment agents had done all the
real work.

Sounding boord
Gov. Green's machine and the mob

That the claim is untrue is
proved by following. A few
years ago a building within a
stones throw off the office of
a well known property own
ers' association was decrepit
eyesore.
Shortly after 1 came to this
community family of racial
extraction most heavily dis
eliminated against and ex-
plotted moved into the build
ing. Soon more families of the
same race followed.
Today this same building is
as well kept and is fully equal
in exterior appearance TO the
home of the president of this
hate-peddling property owners
association.

Fight for peace
To the Editor:

A11G 60A4OEs
l want you to devote more
space in your newspaper to the
fight for world peace. You are
fighting hard for civil liber-
ties and for the rights of labor
unions.
You should fight also against
the war-mongers, who want to
plunge our country in a war
against Yugoslavia, to preserve
the reactionary Greek mon
archy.
You should attract the atten-
ton of the public to the state
ment, made by Hershel johnson,
our delegate to the United Ma
tons, who said that our country
will take independent action in
the conflict on the border of
Greece, if the Soviet delegate,
Andrei Gromyko, will continue
to veto the American plan Of
action against Albania, Yugo-

dent and to the State Depart
ment against the statement of

Property values
To the Editor:

Hate peddlers claim property
value falls when a building
becomes tenanted by persons
of a racial group other than
that long established in sur
rounding property. 1t isn't
true!
These distorters of truth in
variably point to part of the
city notorious for lack of mod
ern facilities and conveniences
essential to human life.
At the same time these dill
apidated old buildings are ten
anted by people forced to ac-
cept such miserable housing
conditions at exorbitant rentals
due to no fault of their own.

To the Editor:


Our very wise alderman
knock their very full brains
out against the problem of re-
districting the wards, while
they could, at one stroke, do
away with this problem for
good and at the same time
establish a more representa-
tive institution.
For a long time New York
has elected its aldermen by
PR proportional repr csenta-
tom. This method has worked
well in providing New York
with one of the most broadly
representative and progressive
government in the u. s.
There is no reason why it
cannot work as well in Chi
cago where it would immedi-
ately abolish the phoney par
tisan Tin actua1ityl, non-parti-
san lin name) city council and
give progressives their due
proportion of power in the

A method of distributing auto
mobile, gasoline and racing tax
revenue from the State to incorpo-
rated towns and special improve
ment districts in Maryland has been
worked out by the Prince Georges
County Commissioners.
Their decision was reached yester-
day at Upper Marlboro after re-
port from a five-man committee
which had been assigned to draft
a program for revenue distribution
According to Waldo Burnside, one
of the five officials, funds will be
distributed to incorporated towns
twice yearly, while money designated
for special improvement districts
will be credited to their accounts
by the county.
These districts, Mr.. Burnside
pointed out, will be permitted to use
their money as before-only when
resident property owners request
improvement work to be done. Funds
credited to their account then will
be applied for payment or partial
payment of such improvements, he
added.
County to Get Half.
From automobile taxes levied by
the State, the county will get half
of what actually represents taxes,
the board attorney reported, with
towns and special improvement dis
tricts taking one-half of this share.
Incorporated communities may use
the money for any town expendi-
tures.s
What amount the county and
communities will receive has not
yet been determined, Mr.. Burnside

Arlington. Bus Riders
Fighting Fare Boost,
Charge Poor Service

The Arlington Bus Riders Asso-
citation will argue that inadequate
bus service does not justify pro-
posed increase in fares when the
Interstate Commerce Commission
holds rate hearing June %.
The association last night au-
thorized its president, Francis j.
Ortman, and committee to be
appointed by him to appear before
the ICC with arguments against the
application of the Washington, Vir-
ginia & Maryland Coach Co. to
raise its fares by cents for each
zone and institute system of
tokens to sell at eight for 81. The
tokens would be worth 15-cent rides.
The Arlington Public Utilities
Commission, the town of Falls
Church and several citizens groups
have filed protests with the ICC.
The four allegations which the
Bus Riders Association will stress,
it was agreed at the meeting, In
Lyon Park Community House, are
that Arnold buses frequently break
down on the road, the buses are
overcrowded, an insufficient number
of buses is provided, particularly In
rush hours, and the line does not
maintain schedules.
Continued distribution Of ques-
tionnaires for data before the TCC
was voted. Approximately 20 per-
sons were admitted as members and
the association adopted constitu-
ton and bylaws. 1t was agreed
that any funds remaining in the
treasury upon dissolution of the
organization will be donated to the
Arlington Hospital.
Next meeting of the association
will be held July 16 at a place to
be designated.

Board Plans 10 Make
Montgomery County
Budget Decision Soon

The Montgomery County Board
of Commissioners is expected to
meet soon to make final decision on
the country's 1948 budget, on which
a public hearing was held in Rock
vile last night. The budget must
go to the printers by June %.
More than 300 persons jammed
the Circuit Courtroom of the Court
house in what was believed to be
the largest burget hearing ever held
in the county.
Chief controversy centered around
the 100000 cut in Board of Educa-
ton requests, although speakers
also gave equally impassioned pleas
| for greater appropriations for
health, police and welfare depart
ments.
| Tbs budget now stands at SIS, $685.
I'll. A tax increase of from $1.5o
to $1.88 per 500 of assessed valua-
ton is necessary to meet it.
| DR.. Edwin w. Broome, super
intendent of schools, told the meet
ing that the county can afford" d
50 tax rate if necessary.
"If we want to. build future we
must expect to pay for it," he
declared.
Maurice l.. Du Mars of the Mont
gomery County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations, in asking for
greater funds for the school system
warned that teacher pay scales have
resulted in a 81 per cent loss by
resignation of teachers during the
past year.
A notable exception to the tenor
of the hearing was that of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
which reported that its members
had voted to indorse the proposed
budget as 1t now stands
Gerhard J. Isaac, speaking for the
group, said the need for better
education" is realized but that "other
county services, such as police,
health, ETC., must also be adequate" "

Montgomery 10 Open
Insect Eradication
Project Monday

Montgomery County's most ambi-
tious insect eradication project ever
attempted, aimed primarily at the
japanese beetle, will commence
Monday in the suburban area in
spite of anticipated objections OF
property owners.
This was announced yesterday by
the Board of Commissioners after o
w. Anderson, county agent, had ap-
peared before the board to warn OF
the likelihood of complaints that
DOT spray might stain homes and
furnishings,
Previously Mr.. Anderson had OBJ
tained sanction of the commissioners
for such project which will cost
$500 and reduce the county's fly
tick, lice and other insect popula-
ton as well as the japanese beetle
1t was pointed out, however, that the
spray will not hurt bees.
Throughout Road System.
The spray truck will start Monday
from Bethesda and will progress
throughout the county road system
spraying all grounds and vegetation
adjoining 1oadways. 1t is expected
the project will not be completed un-
til August.
The commissioners were requested
by the Kensington- Volunteer Fire
Department to put in fire hydrant
near the Kensington Junior High
School. 1t was pointed out that
the closest one to the school is
1,500 feet distant.
The request was taken under ad-
visement.
A letter was received by the board
from Radio Station WGAY, Silver
Spring, praising the work of the po-
lice force in solving the theft from
the station of about $500 worth OF
radio equipment. Police Pvt. New
ton Stull and Palmer Hurd and de-
tective Sergts Stanley Harding and
James Anderson were praised in the
letter.
Eight ZOning Requests.
The commissioners also heard
eight applications for reclassiflca
ton of property buildings.
The largest protest was registered
against the request of c. Boyd Keys
on his request for reclassif1cation OF
property on Linden avenue from the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad track
to Warren street in the Linden area
of Silver Spring. Donald K. Staley
attorney for Mr.. Keys explained
the change was requested to build
industrial property stores and
apartment houses.
Hugh Buckingham, spokesman
for a group of residents of the area,
told the commissioners the pro-
jected development would not be
in keeping with the residential
character of the place"
