City Heads Urged TO Use
One Man for Police Cars

The Commissioners were urged to-
day to study the practicability oi
one-man operation of some police
scout cars as an economy measure
The suggestion was made by
Rufus S. Lusk, president OF the
Washington Taxpayers Association
in a letter to Commissioner John
Russell Young.
There is no thought that man.
ming police cars by one man should
reduce the overall number OF
policemen" Mr.. Lusk emphasized
What is sought here is more ad-
vantageous use OF the men we now
nave"
Among large cities. he pointed
out, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Cleveland and Milwaukee use
only one man in some OF their
police cars, while San Francisco
operates all cars on this basis.
Recalling the plan was tried with
some cars here number OF years
ago and later abandoned, Mr.. Lusk
said sthe cars were not equipped
generally with two-way radio at
the time, making the one-man sys-
tenn less desirable than at present.
He estimated $685., 900 could be
saved for other District use If men
on scout car duty were reduced
by third through partial one
man operation.

Brooke Johns, president OF the
Montgomery County Board OF Com
missioners, yesterday accused School
Board Member James w. Gill OF
making the taxpayers lose money
by acting In a dual capacity in the
acquisition of a school Site"
The outburst came in the closing
minutes of the commissioners
meeting in Rockville and climaxed
unsuccessful efforts by Mr.. Johns
to persuade developers Of the Viers
Mill Village housing project be-
tween Wheaton and Rockville to
give the county school site.
Mr.. Johns charged that Mr.. Gill
had advised Viers Mill Village, Inc,
whom the latter represents, not to
donate the necessary land and then
voted as a member Of the Board OF
Education to buy l0-acre site ad-
jacent to the development for $780,
900.
He was supported by Commission
er Wesley I. Sauter.
About two weeks ago, Mr.. Johns
asked the School Board to defer
final arrangements for the purchase
of the school site until he tried a
little bsckscratching", with Viers
Mill Village, Inc. which had petit
toned for commercial zoning OF q
portion of its tract.
. When informed Of the charges,
Mr.. Gill said he saw no inconsist-
ency in his position as attorney for
Viers Mill Village, Inc, while serving
on the School Board.
II am personally very much op-
posed" he said, ito the county COM
missioners selling zoning by forcing
a few individual developers to do
nate land to the county to get zon-
ing. I think the two are separate
and distinct propositions and I OBJ
ject violently to the commissioners
picking out three or four people in
the county and telling them they've
got to give land and letting every
body else 90 scot free,
If they want to require that
every one who gets building per-
NIT in the country pay certain
amount of money for permanent
school Improvements. that would be
all right since that would be applic-
able to every one concerned"

dieting, however, would cut into
demand and bring lower prices.
Prices May Stay Up.
One question is the distinct pos
sibility OF such huge crops that the
prices of grains will be depressed
below the Government price sup.
port figures. In that case-anc
wheat and corn are now selling al
Just about the Government loar
figures-the Government is likely te
be paying millions of dollars from
the Treasury to keep prices up.
The effect of the price-support
program, it is generally conceded
will be to prevent food prices from
falling to any such levels as those
of preWar days.
The Agriculture Department
forecast showed these figures fol
the major crops:
Corn-3,506, 1863 900 bushels COM
pared to last months estimate OF
!, 1913 1852 900 bushels and the 1887.
4e average of 2.8lS $4,000 bushels
Wheat .284 1913, 900 bushels
against the earlier estimate ol
1,24l, ISL 900 bushels and the 1887.
46 average of $4,000 bushels
The record crop year was l947 with
1854 $4,000 bushels harvested.
Oats: 1,47O,444, 900 bushels COM
pared to last months estimate OF
1,425, 7S5 900 and the 1937-46 average
of 1891 ,814,000.
OF the corn prospects the Agri-
culture Department forecast had
this to say:
Seldom if ever have corn pros
poets over the Nation been so uni
formIy favorable. This is in sharp
contrast to the jagged prospects
which prevailed at this time a year
ago when the crop, already far be-
hind in development, was suffering
from drought and heat"
1t was last years very short cror
of 400,952, 900 bushels which sent
the price Of corn soaring and lee
farmers to slaughter their livestock
rather than fattenlng their animals
The result was less meat at the
counter this year and today's high
prices.
Livestock Fed Wheat.
The short corn crop resulted ir
considerable feeding of wheat tc
livestock. This shift, together with
record breaking wheat export pro-
gram Of almost 4S0,000,0 900 bushels
land -four equivalent, sent wheat
prices soaring. When wheat goes
up. agricultural products in genera
tend to rise though there are some
exceptions.
The price peak was reached in
January. Since that time the bet
ter crop prospects both at home
and abroad have brought prices
down.
