Citizens Group
Plans Parti in
Arlington Vote
School improvement
Committee to BoIIot
On Active Drive

A vote on the question Of direct
participation in the Arlington
County Board election in November
will be taken by the Citizens Com
mittee for School improvement at
BIS pm. Thursday in the Arling-
ton Forest Methodist Church, Lee
boulevard and Henderson road.
The Citizens Committee was
formed two years ago and has re-
stricted its activities to educational
matters. The ,400-member group
led the campaign for an elected
school board and backed the slate
which was subsequently elected last
year.
In notice of the meeting, men,
bers of the committee were told
that "since the County Board con-
trolls the purse strings of the School
Board, many people think we must
take a more active part in selecting
the County Board members"
The County Board last month re-
fused to appropriate in full the
1948-9 budget proposed by the
School Board. Instead, the County
Board cut the request about $685.
600, forcing the School Board to
eliminate plans for full-day sessions
for first and second grades.
The action of the governing body
was criticized by B. Alden Lilly
white, chairman of the Citizens
Committee, as ''unwarranted inter-
ference with school policies and op-
erations." Mr.. Lillywhite said the
action repudiated the expressed will
of Arlington voters who had sought
better schools through the election
of a new School Board.
The County Boards decision, Mr.
LillyWhite said, now makes 1t ap-
pear necessary that citizens par
cicipate more fully in the election
of County Board members if they
are to obtain school improvements
needed by Arlington.
One County Board member will be
elected in November. The term OF
Alfred E. Frisbie, who was appointed
last year to take the place of Leo
C. Lloyd, who died, will expire De-
cember 81. The board has five
members, who are elected under a
staggar system.

Staggering Requests
For Funds, He Says

ANNAPOLIS, May ~. - Bingo
games, rafies and drawings are just
some Of the money questions con-
fronting the third special session OF
the Legislature called in Gov. Lane S
administration.
The session will open tomorrow
and apparently will be a give me"
affair. Requests for appropriations,
informal or otherwise, have reached
q staggering" total, Gov. Lane
acknowledged.
He did not say what he would DO
about these. The original purpose
Of the session was consideration OF
q 10 per cent increase in the salary
OF State employees. That alone is
expected to be an item for 50 ,10l ,654.
Opposed by Church Groups.
A blu to legalize raffies and draw
ings for noncommercial purposes is
ready for introduction by Senate
President Byrnes and Delegate
Luber, Democrat, OF Baltimore. 1t
is opposed by many church groups.
The State Council of the Knights
Of Columbus, however, was on record
today as supporting the measure. II
passed a resolution during the con-
cluding session of its annual con-
vention last night expressing this
stand.
A bill to remove the three MEM
bers of Maryland's embattRd Tide
water Fisheries Commission also
was ready for introduction. 1t WILL
bring to a climax a long and bitter
quarrel.
One member Of the commission
Allan Sellers of Benedict, contended
the suggested ripper bill' would not
bring to light the real reason for
the protracted dispute. 1t Woulo
blot out instead of bring out"
Resignation Offered.
Another commission member
George T. Harrison of Tilghman. re-
Gently offered to resign if Mr.. Soliefs
and Chairman John E. Clark dlo
likewise. Neither has shown in
clination to accept the suggestion.
The quarrel apparently started
over duties of the commander OF
the Tidewater enforcement fieet'
Capt. Amos Creighton.
Since then, charges and counter
charges have been flung between
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Clark. At
one time, Gov. Lane asked the chair
man to quit. but later withdrew the
request.
Mr.. Clark's predecessor In office,
Edwin Warfield, jr.. said Mr.. Har-
rison was the 'instigator in the cur
rent controversy" and called on the
Governor to support Mr.. Clark.
Welfare Fund Coming Up.
He warned against any changes
In the commission setup being
"rammed through in the few days
of a special session"
A major financial issue that must
be thrashed out by the Assembly
will be a request for $2,75o,757 from
the State Department OF Welfare.
The department received pat on
the back from the Commission on
Governmental Efficiency and Econ
omy. In report released yesterday
the commission said the department
was conducted efficiently and eco
nomically, and that a close study
of its administration had turned up
little of a nature serious enough
to justify criticism"
Gov. Lane said he would recon-
mend no more than $500,000 for the
Welfare Department. It's director
j. Milton Patterson, called this "a
mere drop in the bucket"

One" In these letters, Mr.. Roerich
was Dear Guru."
Some letters were written in long
hand and handwriting experts have
declared them to be Mr.. Wallace's
own writing. Others were typed.
Some were signed H. "A. Wallace,
others 'HAW" and some "Galahad." !"
Some were on Agriculture Depart
ment stationery.
NewSweek gave this as an excerpt:
In these days of fiery trouble, we
also find opportunity for doing
many things. The indications of
Moyra through .Modra have gov
erned under the most difficult cir
cumstances. Surrounding the one
toward whom my efforts have been
addressed are many loyal to his
personality but false to his ideals.
"Modra" was identified as Mrs.
Roerich.
Rejected Questions in 1910.
The only time Mr.. Wallace has
ever made any statement on the
"Guru" letters was in 1910 when a
reporter, who had been trying to
get some word from him, was
handed a typewriter statement by
Mr.. Wallace during campaign
trip. 1t said in part:
Your publisher must know
that the material in question is
composed of malicious, spurious,
fraudulent and forged matter. He
must know that it emanates from
a source rejected as to creditability
by courts of the land: that the
same garbage has been hawked
around for many years; that editor
after editor has rejected it; that it
emanates from a disgruntled, dis
charged employe who dares not re-
turn to this land because of tax
frauds fully established and de-
termined ."
Last week at Philadelphia Mr..
Wallace was asked again if he
wrote the ~"Guru" letters. He said
he would discuss them at. his own
discretion.
