Is Reported by Dent

District Assessor Edward A. Dent
reported today that an increase OF

vate schools and charitable insti-
tutes, accounted for Sc per cent and
were valued at $123, 3,894,O91.
During the fiscal year, delinquent

of 1912 lots to individual buyers for
$113,390. The District government
paid $26,258 in delinquent taxes in

Pleas for Year
Agreement Reached
On New Policy at
Silver Spring Meeting

Reapplications for zoning changes
would be prohibited within a year
under new policy that was shaping
up today in Montgomery County.
AT present requests may be renewed
after three months.
A decision to adopt this one-year
plan was agreed to last night by rep
resentatives of the Maryland Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, the Board of County
Commissioners and County Super
visor I. G. McNayr.
They spoke at a protest meeting
lof residents, most of them from the
Silver Spring area, who demanded
an end to the present practice of
having some rezoning requests
denied only to be renewed again
after 90-day lapse.
Politics apparently was laid aside
as the four Republican members
of the Board of Commissioners, Mr..
McNayr and E. Brooke Lee, vice
chairman of the planning commits
sion, who is the Democratic leader
of the area, pledged to cooperate
in carrying out the proposed policy.
Brooke Johns, president of the
commissioners, told the gathering in
ESt. Michael's Parish Hall, Silver
Spring, resolution carrying out the
one-year waiting requirement as an
amendment to the zoning code will
be presented to his group for action.
Mr.. Lee disclosed proposed master
zoning plans for Georgia avenue
from Silver Spring through Brooke
vile, and for Colesville road from
Silver Spring through Ashton, will
be ready for distribution by the
planning commission September 8.
The planning official also revealed
that members of the planning staff
of the commission now are working
on master zoning plans for Mac
Arthur boulevard, White Oak-Laurel
road, and the land adjacent to the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad from
Garrett Park to Rockville. The staff
soon will begin work on similar plans
for Old Georgetown road from Be-
thesda to Halpine and the Layhill,
pike from Glenmont to Sandy
Spring, he added. In addition, fu-
ture plans call for studies of por-
tion of the Piney Branch road east
of Flower avenue, and Old Bladens-
burg road, between Franklin avenue
and the Prince Georges County line.
Plans of the commission, he re-
vealed, call for no apartments north
of Silver Spring. About 100 acres
of unimproved land in the COM
munity already is zoned for such
use, along with another SO acres
near the vicinity of New Hampshire
avenue and University lane, just
over the Prince Georges County
line, he reported.
Commercial areas are planned. in
order, for Montgomery Hills, Wheat
on, Glenmont, Norbeck, Olney.
Brookeville and at the vicinity Of
the intersection of Georgia avenue
with the extension of Connecticut
avenue. between Norbeck and
Brookeville. The rest of the county
would remain as residential or as
| it is at present, Mr.. Lee stated.
Details of some of the proposed
new Zoning regulations were out
lined by Mr.. McNayr. They include
provisions that zoning hearings be
held in the vicinity of the place
where the change is sought and for
more advance publicity, including
advertising in county newspapers.

Precinct Station Work
AT municipal Center 10
Resume Tomorrow

Construction work at the Munich
pal Center to clear the way for the
first precincts move to the police
headquarters building win be re-
sumed.tomorrow with a private con-
tractor doing the work, Police Supt
Robert j. Barrett announced today.
Mai. Barrett estimated that the
job could be completed in two days.
The work was started by policemen
doubling as carpenters but was halt
ed after the Washington Building
Trades Congress protested.
The plastering and painting re-
quired to complete the work will be
done by a private contractor be-
cause the District Repair Shop
would be unable to get to it for 1G
days, the police chief explained.
AS soon as the first precinct moves
to the Municipal Center. Building,
Maj. Barrett said yesterday, police
line-ups of suspects will be changed
from pm. to 8:45 am. daily.
Maj. Barrett said the change from
night to morning will be made In
the interest of increased efficiency
All police connected with the De-
tective Bureau, Vice Squad and
Juvenile Bureau will be ordered to
attend. -.
Returning from two-week vaca-
ton yesterday, Maj. Barrett also told
a press conference the Department. IS
report on cases withheld from the
teletype during the past year as well
as the recommendation Of the Fed
eral Bureau OF Investigation for
changes in crime reporting pro-
cedures probably will be sent to the
District Commissioners this week.
On the change in the lineup
time, Maj. Barrett said under the
present system a number of men
have been excused from attending
the night lineups. Some of them
were members of the vice squad
who were working on their own in
vestigations at that time.
Prisoners considered good sus-
poets for headquarters cases will be
brought to the cell block in the
morning, given their breakfast and
put on view before the detectives

ters cases, they then will be sent

them, and a third class who hates
them and never changes. The first
group is in minority"
Th0fe Is something haunting
about a first addition. The bells, to
be perfect, must have five distinct
LONESOME strike or fundamental
note and four overtones. The re-
suit may be one of discordance to
some ears, but this "out-of tune"
effect is the magical quality that
can make addicts out of some listen
ers.
Right now there are less than 60
carillons in North America, but the
Guildsmen patiently point out that
the first one did not. arrive in
Canada before 1922. Some 400 years
before that, they were ringing in the
low countries of Europe. But 100
years before 1900, there was hiatus
when the special art of bell-tuning
was lost and none was forged.
Gruelling to. Play.
Carlton playing is no boys play.
Besides its demands for real musical
skill, it is wearing physically and
emotionally. A 45-minute concert
often leaves the carillonneur spent.
He must strike the oaken' levers
with the heels of his hands and even
a leather padding worn by most
artists does not eliminate all dis
tress.
Some players wear no protection
on their hands-only callouses and
gristle as a kind of individualistic
trademark of their profession.
Each carillonneur has his own
style. Some, like Mr.. Chapman
believe in simplicity, striking not
more than three or four notes in
a chord, when eight are possible
and keeping the tones low. Others
have flare for frills, tremolos and
crescendoes. This type makes it a
little tougher on the neighbors who
do not care for bells.
individuality in Music.
One thing that makes for inter-
esting listening at carillonneur
convention is the individuality of
performance. Since the business
is so limited, no manuscripts are
published. and each player must
arrange his own music.
One of the best in this line is
Percival Price, professor of music
composition at the University of
Michigan, and head man of that
schools carlton. Mr.. Price called
the first Guild meeting in 1885
while he was Dominion carillonneur
of Canada at Ottawa.
He is among the most gifted artists
at the convention and bears the
added distinction of being the first
carrillonneur in both Canada and
the United States.
Among the other early arrivals
were Sidney F. Giles, assistant at
Michigan; Herman Dresher, Simcoe,
Ontario, Canada; Kamiel Lefevere,
Guild president and players of the
country's largest carlton at River
side Drive Church, New York; Frank
L. johnson, st. Paul's College, Con-
cord, N. H.; Ernest Parsons, St.

DOG TRAINING CLASSES
TO FIGHT DELINQUENCY

Dog ownership "as splendid
means" of building character in
young people and of fighting the
rising tide of juvenile delinquency,
is being urged by the Gaines Dog
Research Center, New York City.
Sociologists have long recognized
the challenge of continuing respon-
sibility as valuable factor in mold
ing character. Dog ownership pro-.
vides such responsibility to an ideal
degree, the Center states. Looking
after a dogs daily requirements,
taking him out, feeding and caring for
him, giving him needed attention
when he is not well, and sharing
with him innumerable experiences
of varied sort are invaluable aids
that lead to a desirable maturity.
Young people having dog in their
care are not likely to have the time
or inclination to run the streets, en-
gage in petty thievery or after-school
fights or other forms of juvenile
gang terrorism.
The Center also suggested the in
clusion of dog training courses as
part of the curriculum in Americas
public schools. Such training would
help greatly in teaching patience and
overcoming Objectionable personality
traits, in addition to providing phys-
cal exercise, mental relaxation and
other wholesome end-results. Per-
haps the most valuable feature of
such training would be in self
discipline, in giving the youngstcr
satisfaction in the experience of con-
troll and in training him in the art OF
command, it states.

THE WOOL BILL VETO

President Truman's veto of the
bill to raise American tariffs on
wool was to be expected. Veto
is consistent with American for
eign policy. 1t is also consist
ent with the domestic interests
of the nation as a whole.
The form of protection for
American woolgrowers W h i c h
this bill offered was needlessly
costly. 1t probably would have
cost Americans an additional
500, 100000 year to do the job
through the proposed tariff in
crease. Through a S u b S i d y
woolgrowers would be aided at a
cost estimated between $40, 000-
900 and $25. 100000.
The proposed wool tariff was
needlessly risky. 1t might have
torpedoed the l n e n a t o n a
Trade Conference at Geneva,
which is seeking ways back to
prosperous peace through freer
trade. An increased wool tariff
would, in addition, have raised
new questions throughout Eur
ope as to the political capability
of the United States to back up
the Marshall Plan.
Mr.. Truman did not overstate
the case when he said 1T would
be q blow to our leadership in
foreign affairs" If such blow
was coming, Molotov could hard
ly have asked a time more to his
liking.
Any attempt to override this
veto seems highly unlikely. The
votes by which it passed Con-
gress, do not indicate that the
necessary maJOritleS could be
marshaled for this purpose. In
any case, Mr.. Truman has sug-
gested that Congress go back to
work on the bill and restore it to
the form the Senate had sent
it to the House. And the Senate
has promptly passed by voice
vote the bill the President pre-
fers.
We question, as a rule, the
use of subsidies to support un-
economic industries. But there
is no question that a subsidy is
the lesser of two evils in this
