West Cites Peril
In Nonresident
Tuition Cases
Unless Fees Are Paid
Illegal Spending May
. Result, He Asserts

Unless School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning forces parents OF nonresi-
dent pupils attending the public
schools here to pay tuition fees, he
Is In danger of being guilty Of
making illegal expenditures, Cor
poration Counsel Vernon e. West
said today.
The school officials are between
the devil and the deep blue sea"
Mr. West added.
He said that the best thing for
Or. Corning to do is to get an
understanding with the General
Accounting once to protect school
officials. This, DR.. Corning said,
was being done now. An opinion
on the matter has been requested
but no answer has been received
yet.
Action Is Recalled.
The problem started when Con-
gress put language in the last Dis
trict Appropriations Act which pro-
vided that no part Of the appropria-
ton for schools should be used for
the education OF pupils who lived
outside the District. Exception was
made in the case OF students EN-
rolled" before the act went into
effect on July Is, 1947.
But the meaning Of the word
enrolled" has not been settled.
School officials and Mr.. West felt
it meant those pupils exempted had
to have been in attendance in school
the previous year. Parents living IN
nearby areas, but sending their chill
dren to District public schools, main
tained it meant just the signing up
for classes before that date.
Court Ruling Sought.
Thirty-eight Montgomery County
parents went to District Court to
fight the ruling. maintaining that
they had, by signing up, enrolled
their children in June. The court
ordered school officials not to expel
them until the case is decided
finally.
Meanwhile. however, 442 nom
resident students have been billed
for fees-but their cases are pend
ing until school officials can decide
If they should be billed All are
described as border-line cases. An
other 873 have been billed as def
initely owing the tuition-and many
Of these have paid, under protest.
Nonresident students exempted
from fees total 1854.
DR.. Corning has asked the School
Board to change the law SO there
will be no exceptions-and so all
nonresident students would have to
pay tuition. He told them 1t was
impossible to administer the present
law fairly.

Rate 10 Hospital
For |ndigenfs'
Montgomery Heads
Get Complaints of
Zoning Violations

The, question of how much Mont.
gomery County should pay Suburban
Hospital, Bethesda, for the care Of
indigents was still unsettled today.
The county commissioners yester-
day passed and then rescinded a
resolution to pay the entire cost Of
caring for such patients, provided
separate bill is received for each.
The question was raised in letter
from Arthur G. Lambert, president
of the hospitals Board of Trustees.
Mr.. Lambert recalled that the COM
missioners agreed last fall to pay the
full cost of hospitalizing indigents
after January /, l948.
Declaring that the average daily
cost per patient from July to De-
cember 81, 1947, was $14.16, Mr.. Lam
bert said this figure would be used
as the basis for payment for patients
admitted after last January.
Rate Called High.
The commissioners said they be-
lieved the $l4.16 rate was high and
they preferred to pay the cost of
caring for indigents on an individual
basis.
After County Supervisor Irving
G. McNayr suggested asking Mr..
Lambert to appear before the board
next week, the board rescinded its
previous action.
The commissioners received
copy of letter from Louis A. Gra-
velle, chairman of the Board of
Zoning Appeals, to the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, complaining that con-
tractors are ""fagrantly violating"
county zoning regulations.
Mr.. Gravelle said his group Is
called on at each meeting to con-
slider appeals by builders who erect
homes and then find they don't
meet zoning requirements, such as
the proper setback, etc.
Held almost a Scandal"
"The board has taken a very
broad view in granting relief in
such cases." he wrote, but now,
they have reached such proportions
| that something must be done to
stop this fragrant violation of regu-
lations which amounts almost to a
scandal"
He suggested that after the
foundations are in, contractors be
required to have each lot surveyed
apd certify that the completed
buildings will meet zoning regula-
tions.
The commissioners took no action,
holding it was a matter to be
decided by the planning commission.
A request by Arthur J, Hilland,
attorney for the Bethesda Woman's
Club, that the clubs property be
exempted from taxation was ap-
proved. He said the property had
been assessed at $18.420
When notified of the action.
Supervisor of Assessments Wilton T.
Allen said he would appeal to the
State Tax Commission.

Public Works Sfoekpi|ing
Seen as Need in Depression
BY The Associated Press

CINCINNATI, Nov. los-The Ma
tion lost an important anti-depres-
sion weapon when it stopped stock
piling public works plans, Federal
Works Administrator Philip 3
Fleming said today.
Under the War Mobilization Act
of 1914, the Government made loans
to States and cities to prepare blue
prints for locally needed public
works projects.
Before the act expired June 80
1947, Gen. Fleming said Congress
had provided $65 100000 for the
planning loans. Seven Thousand
projects costing an estimated $2,500,'
100000 were approved with the use
of $50 100000 in planning funds.
In addressing the AFL Building
and Construction Trades Conference
Gen. Fleming said:
THE accumulation Of an adequate
shelf of completely blueprinted prof.
ects is a local insurance and a loca
must, as well as wise national ster
to prepare for possible contin'
gencies."
"If a depression should start TO-
morrow and it became necessary t.
start 1arge-scale public works pro.
gram" he added, 'it could not be
launched because I'VE lack a stor'
of completed plans and specification!
sufficient to employ a large number
of people.
THE best interests of the Natior
call for a renewal of the impetus
and drive to provide such stock
pile of worthy projects the FWA
chief said.
