Conference Sef
On Dispute Over
Navy Airfie|d
Opponents Want
$4,000, 900 Item
Removed From Bill

An attempt to iron out differences
over proposed Sl2,000,000 airf1eld
for the Naval Academy at Annapolis
was to be made this afternoon at
a conference between the House
Rules Committee, Speaker Martin
and Representative Bates, Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Bates, spokesman for the
House Armed Services Committee,
indicated he was still cold to q sug-
gestion of some opponents on the
Rules Committee that the airfield
project be removed from a pending
$208 100000 Navy public works bill.
Other advocates declared that II
the airf1eld project had to be intro
duced in a separate bill it would
either be blocked by an unfriendly
Rules Committee or sidetracked in
the final weeks of the congressional
session.
The Rules Committee, according
to earlier predictions of Chairman
Allen, seemed all set yesterday aft
ernOon to report out the $208 900 900
construction authorization bill in
cluding the airfleld.
Agreement Sought.
But some of the members just
wouldn't 60 along with the airport
item," he said after the closed ses-
sion IF we can work out an agree
ment to cut it out of the bill the
Rules Committee probably will ap-
prove the bill Thursday afternoon.
We will confer with Speaker Mar
tin and Mr.. Bates to see If an
agreement can be reached to offer
floor amendment eliminating the
airfield."
No vote was taken yesterday be-
cause the full membership of ths
Rules Committee was not present.
Chairman Allen said he hoped for
a showdown this afternoon because
House action on the important
Navy construction program cannot
be longer delayed
Principal opposition in the Rules
Committee came from Representa-
tive Harness, Republican. of In
diana. He said he was mot con-
cerned with the convenience of
summer residents" in the Sandy
Point, Md, section, where the pro-
posed 2400 acres of land would be
acquired for the academy airport.
But he told the committee he ques-
toned the need for spending $12,-
100000 and buying SO much land
for that purpose at this time.
Airfield Called Essential.
Representatives Bates and Sasscer,
Democrat, of Maryland, and several
other House members who last Tues
day urged the Rules Committee to
clear the way for action on the
Navy bill declared the airfleld ranks
high in the list of Navy "top
priority" projects.
}. A Naval Academy airf1eld, they
J said, not only is essential for the
air indoctrination program for mid
shipmen but should be on land
within easy access of. the academy.
The airport would handle $50 flying
hours a day and each midshipman
|, would receive II hours indoctrination
a year.
Principal arguments voiced against
the airfield are that the Naval
Academy should use Andrews Field
or the Patuxent air base for indoc-
trination training, that the proposed
} cost is excessive, and that the Gov
ernment already has acquired too
much land in the Baltimore
Annapolis area.

to the floor favorably despite warn
ing by j. Milton Patterson, State
welfare director. at public hearing
yesterday that S500,000 appropria-
tion would necessitate further cuts
in welfare grants.
The House adopted last night an
administration resolution for a l5-
member commission to study every
thing about Maryland's welfare set
up
Among those supporting the pro-
posal to include employees of mental
hospitals in the pay-raise bill was
Delegate John R. Reeves, Republi-
can, of Montgomery County.
This provision" Mr.. Reeves de-
clared, would help us discharge
Our obligations to the mentally Ill
by obtaining competent employees to
care for them. These employees are
on duty seven days a week, with
perhaps one or two days of a
month, and deserve salary increase
as much as any one"
Would Give 10oc Raise.
The bill would give fiat 10 per
cent pay increase to workers who
have received none since September
1916. Employees of mental hospitals
have received salary increases since
that time.
Leading the opposition to any
change in the bill was Delegate
LEROY Pumphrey, Democrat, OF
Prince Georges County, House ma
iority leader. He asserted the bill
had been carefully prepared and
that classified employees OF the State
supported it in its present form.
Earlier, in opposing Mr.. Carricks S
motion, the floor leader said:
ut is ridiculous and preposterous
TO drag ANYTHING as controversial as
the sales tax before this special ses-
sion. If the gentleman wants 10
bring it up. he should wait until the
regular session in 1949, when we
will have 90 days in which to con-
slider it."
Mr.. Patterson told the Senate
Finance Committee. that minimum
of S75O,OOO would be required next
wear to carry the welfare case load
as of last March without any new
cases.
Needed for Child Care.
He said the $2,650,757 requested
by his Experimentation Gov
Lane has refused to supports
needed mainly to care for an an
ticipated increase in aid to depend
ent children
Mr.. Patterson recalled that the
department had asked for $6,726,6l1
for relief for 1948 but that the re-
quest was cut to $5,590,l43. A sup
Elemental appropriation of 1887 oO(
was received at the special session
last November, he said.
For the fiscal year June 30, he as
serted, the departments request o!
$7.83S, ,486 was cut to S5,645,147.
Meanwhile the Senate, with only
eight dissenting votes, passed res
olution calling for an investigation
of the Tidewater Fisheries Commits
sion. The resolution, offered by Il
Senators, was. designed to head of
a proposed ripper" bill which woulo
remove all three members of the
commission.

How Much Government
BY GEORGE s. BENSON
President Of Hording College
Secrecy. Arkansas

we need constantly to remember
is that the government has not a
cent to spend except what It col
lects from you and me and from
our neighbors.
We Must Say mol"
OUR NEXT congress will have
real test, and real opportunity.
Last year, the e0th Congress pro-
vided this historic opportunity by
establishing a commission to study
the reorganization Of the executive
side Of our government Member
ship of the Commission includes
some Of our most public spirited
citizens. These experts are giving
the structure and functions Of many
a government agency thorough
going over. They are also studying
expenditures, with the idea Of pro-
posing changes that will bring both
economy and efficiency.
The slst Congress will have the
job of acting upon whatever re-
commentators the Commission
may present. It is not an easy task.
Any executive finds 1t hard to lop
off an office here. and an office
there. When the government starts
a service, 1t is hard to find stop
ping place Moreover. each and e.
very department will fight to the
finish for increased personnel and
more money.
May the coming Congress find
enough gizzard and eristle to stand
up and say no. We must end
waste and extravaganza in govern
ment When nearly thirty cents
out Of every dollar you earn goes
directly or indirectly toward sup
, port of federal government that
is too much. We cannot continue to
be the strong and financially
stable nation we must be. unless
something is done to curtail the
spread of government.

IT'S 2,272 miles from New York TO
Salt Lake City, Utah. Yet, if all the
civilian employees in the executive
branch of our federal government
were six feet tall They're not and
you placed them head to toe on U.
s. Highway so they'd reach the dis
lance easily with IA miles to spare.
This comparison is conservative. 1t
was based on an estimate Of Q mil
lion government workers in the ex-
ecutive branch alone.
Perhaps nobody can ever know
just how many there are. During
the first four months of this year,
they increased at rate of more
than $50 day. Use another COM
parison. There Is one executive
worker in the federal government
for every 81 income taxpayers. III
other words, these 81 taxpayers are
paying the salary of the 22nd man.
And that's Just in the executive
arm OF the federal government.
Paying the Piper
EACH AND very American citi-
zen must not fail to be interested
in this problem of mushrooming
government. AS long as we fool our
selves into the habit Of asking for
more government. we'll see more
and more added to the payrolls and
wei pay higher and higher taxes
We need to decide how much gov
eminent we want. Certainly the
more of 1t we set UP the more we
have to pay for. At the rate we have
been going in the last decade, most
of us will be working for the gov
eminent in few years.
That would be one CT the SIM
plest ways TO take the country into
socialism. Let most of us be draw
ing paychecks from the government,
in salaries and various benefits
and we would have socialism right
here without voting for It. What

Contributions Pour into Seal Fund

The third weeks returns IN the
- Annual Christmas Seal Sale
shows that . total Of $73.16s has
been contributed toward the eradi-
cation Of tuberculosis in King
County, according to Christmas
Seal headquarters at 6l47 Arcade
Bldg.
1T is most important to all resi-
dents Of Seattle and King County
that the 1919 Christmas Seal Sale
be successful" said Miss Ruth Wal
ker, Seal sale chairman of the Anti
tuberculosis League.
THE Seattle Area Chest x-Ray
Program has provided us with an
excellent opportunity to hasten the
day when our communities viii be
free from tuberculosis. To take adj
vantage Of that opportunity every
phase OF tuberculosis work must be
intensified. This means that the
Anti. tuberculosis League win need
sufficient funds to administer its
program effectively this coming
year.
Christmas Seal buyers invested
$4,000 In the Seattle Area Chest
x-ray program. This investment
eventually win reduce taxes for sa-
natorium care and other tubercu-
losis services.
Whether we like It or not we
must spend money on IL" said
Miss Walker. Most patients cannot
pay their hospital expenses thus the
burden falls on the tax payer. Les
sened earning power is costly too,
not only to the individual and his
family but to the community as
well, particularly when the. bread
winner leaves a wife and children
without a pay check. Even the
short sanatorium stay costs money
In lost wages and lost skills.
ITO aid patients who wish to shar-
pen their skills so they may return
to work, a vocational couseling
service is provided by the Anti-Tu-
berculosis League. Working under
medical advice, the vocational coun-
celor attempts to help the patient
build a program Of practical acti-
witty that will enable him to resume
a useful place In society.
"'Many patients need to improve
their educational status. This OPP
portunity is provided with their
physicians permission. They take
advantage Of the high school in
