Effort 10 Keep Posi-
Opposition by Brooke Johns, pres
ident of the Montgomery County

Opposition by Brooke Johns, pres
ident of the Montgomery County
Board of Commissioners, to. pro-
posed charter form Of government
for the county was branded today
as sh attempt to perpetuate him
self in Office.
Mr.. Johns said yesterday he saw
no reason to substitute a charter
form of government for the present
commissioner setup, adding, IF you
have a winning horse, why bet on
another?"
Mrs. John H. Werner, a member
of the Charter Committee Board OF
Directors, said Mr.. Johns statement
came as no surprise.
Says He Fears Losing.
"Mr. Johns obviously wants tx
remain in Office and he apparently
Is afraid that he will not be elected
if charter is approved at the
November election" Mrs. Werner
declared.
Mr.. Johns said he based his oppo-
sition on the excellent record" oi
the Republican administration ir
the county during the past year.
He contended that there is nc
sense in experimenting when you
have form of government which
has proved its value over the past
$50 years."
He emphasized he was not attack.
ing the charter, which he said con-
tanned several good provisions.
Wouldn't Change Set-up.
Il merely claim that our present
form of government. based on the
two party system, has made this
country great and we should not
change it," Mr.. Johns declared.
IF the people of the county want
more home rule, they should seek
change in the present Democratic
administration in the State. I am
sure that If we had a Republican
administration at Annapolis we ir
the county could get practically
anything we want"
The county is now headed by 8
five-man board of commissioners
four of whom are Republicans anc
one a Democrat. Almost all of the
major county Offices also are held by

Alexandria S Council
To Vote Special Funds
lin Emergencies Only

The Alexandria City Council will
limit special appropriations this
year to extreme emergencies, it
was agreed at an executive session
last night.
The limitation rule requires a
three-fourths vote Of the entire
council before a special appropria-
tion may be made this year, ofllcials
disclosed.
Special appropriations made by
the council in 1947 were sharply
criticized in an audit of the city's
books by Ernst e. Ernst. The audit
ing firm warned the city heads in
August that its practice of making
special appropriations was danger
GUS and pointed out that the same
warning had been made for several
preceding years.
Complete Audit Under Way.
The limitation was described by
several councilmen as a move to
keep 1948 expenditures within this
years budget. A complete audit
of the city's 1947 expenditures now
is under way and several officials
have indicated it will show the city
spent far in excess Of its 1947
budget, through special appropria-
tions.
The council will meet tonight
with Alexandria merchants to go
over a proposed license tax pro-
gram. Although the council has
adopted budget calling for more
than $3,OOO,000 in expenditures, 1t
has not yet provided for additional
revenues. Besides the new license
tax program, additional revenues
are proposed through real estate
and personal property tax increases
Met on INDECENT Rates.
The meeting last night followed
a Joint meeting with the Alexandria
Hospital Board to discuss INDECENT
care rates for 1948. Hospital board
chairman David Haddock said the
board made no official offer of 194a
contract rates for INDECENT care. A
hint that the hospital may seek
higher rates this year, however, was
contained in a statement that the
city paid the hospital 50 for each
emergency case handled there In
1947, while the actual cost was
$5.47 for such cases.
Mr.. Haddock said another meet
ing with the council was scheduled
for January 23 to continue negotia-

ice rates as a credit against his

Meanwhile, the State insurance
commissioner announced he had ap-
proved an increase in rates charged
by Blue Cross. The new schedule
of rates, however, will not be an

tuberculosis Tests
For Every One Moy Be
Completed by June

Technicians and clerical workers
in nine Washington Chest X-ray
Survey clinics were getting ready
today to check all District residents
for indications Of tuberculosis be-
ginning Monday.
The X-ray machines obtained for
the survey are capable of filming
between 1000 and 1900 persons a
day, and survey officials estimate
the checkup can be completed by the
middle of June If every Washington
resident co-operates.
staff members of radio stations
here were scheduled to take the ex-
animation today at the Surveys
downtown clinic, 1850 Pennsylvania
avenue NV. The project began
unoficially yesterday, when news
papermen underwent the X-rays.
They found the entire process took
less than three minutes.
Three Agencies Involved.
Sponsoring the project, which 1t
is hoped will drastically reduce
Washington's tuberculosis death rate
of 62.3 per 100000 population, are
the District Health Department, the
District tuberculosis Association
and the United States Public Health
Service. ..... ...'
An 80-member Citizens Commit
tee, directed by William E. Leahy,
former District Selective Service
head, has assisted in planning the
program. .-.
Survey officials pointed out that
last year the tuberculosis death rate
in the District was nearly twice that
for the Nation. BY X-raying every
Washington resident more than Is
years old, they believed they could
greatly curtail" and perhaps some
day eliminate" the disease here.
The X-rays are free and although,
it is probable funds can be raised
for a survey every year, officials
said they hoped it could be repeated
"in the near future" They ad-
mitted, however, the present project
is operating ION a shoestring."
Nelson B. Bell, Co ordinator" Of
the committees participating in the
effort, said several of the clinics in
operation Monday would be in Gov
