81, ,975 900 budget estimate Is . re-
quest for $1,494.000 to extend the
Maryland park system ID the
Bethesda. College Park and Suit
land areas.
The commission's budget estimate
also includes $241,000 to buy land
for eight more Fairgrounds In the
District.
OF the $3, 400, 900 requested for the
redevelopment agency, 81 AS 600
would be made available immedi-
ately and the remainder would be-
come available during the next
fiscal year.
Barry Farms and Marshall
Heights In the southeast are two
areas which Federal planners have
been studying for some time as early
sites for redevelopment.
Increases totaling $l62,s75 for

Included is a request for the addi-
ton of one sergeant and six privates
to the Park Police force who are
paid from District as well as Interior
Department funds.
Under this dual fiscal arrange
ment which affects the entire
budget of NCP, the District Is asked
to contribute 81 ,522,0 during the
coming fiscal year. This is an in
crease of $32,875 over the current
derived from District

soon as possible to positive pro-
gram for promotion of European re-
covery," he said, adding that other
aid programs are contemplated, in
Guiding help for China, for which
definite recommendations shortly
will go to Capitol Hill.
Actual expenditures under the
Marshall Plan up to July /, 1949, are
estimated at $4,5o0. 100000. The
President explained that the differ
ence between this figure and the
Sc, 300, 900, 900 asked Is based on ex-
perience with programs involving
similar procurement problems,
which indicates such a margin is
reasonable.
ITO permit systematic and eco
nomical placement Of orders for
later delivery, appropriations must
be substantially greater than ex-
penditures In the initial phase of
the program" he said.
1t is proposed to give the State
Department $187,000,000, the same
amount as this year, to take care of

In presenting the veterans esti-
mates which show pensions ad-
vancing $4,000. 900 to $2,105, ,000, 900,
the President was critical of Ger
tain aspects" Of the CT Bill of
Rights which he said "need modi-
fication." Proposing to cut educa-
ton and training expenditures from
$2,532, ,000, 900 to $2,029, ,00O,0 900, and
unemployment and self-employ-
ment allowances from 1863 900 900
to $412,000,0 900, the President said:
'The law is being used in some
cases to provide training for avo-
cational or leisure-time activity at
high cost to the Government and
without commensurate benefit to
veterans. The Veterans Administra-
ton does not have adequate au-
thority to limit the expenditure of
funds under this act to construc-
tive educational and vocational pro-
grams. A REORGANIZATION, of the
basic, purposes Of the law and suit
able modification of its provisions
should result In substantial savings.
These savings should more than
Offset such limited increases of other
benefits as may be justified"
School Peak Expected.
College, school and job training Is
expected to reach its peak in the
present year, the president said,
with enrolment at 2,25o0O0. In
194s, It is expected to drop to $780,
900.
Employment aids now 60 to 625.-
600 veterans. Next year, drop to
100000, on the average, is antici-
pated.
The hospital and domiciliary in
stitution load is on the increase,
however, the president said.
In going into the welfare and
educational area envisioned by the
10-year program, which would
broaden social security coverage
and institute a national health pro-
gram, the president said budget ex-
penditures of $116,0O000O are con-
templated in 1949, principally for
revision of public assistance and ad-
ministrative costs for the health

Naval Changes Urged.
Estimated expenditures for naval
ship construction will amount to

an increase of 4,00O, 900 over 194s.
At present the Navy is required by
law to complete certain ships
authorized and started during the
war. To assist in modernizing the
fleet, I recommend that the provi-
sion be repealed. The partially COM
pleted ships would then be held In
reserve. I also recommend that
$3.50, 900, 900 Of the money that
would have been spent to complete
these ships and convert them to
advanced design be used for the

Scotland Neck.-The Scotland
Neck High School football team
pulled an Iron man" stunt to
close their season here Friday
night, by defeating Farmville
High for the second victory in
two successive days.
Scotland Neck won 2O-6 in a
game which saw all the scoring
come in the first half. On
Thanksgiving afternoon the Scot
land Neck eleven had defeated
Enfield High, highest-scoring
high school team in North Caro-
lima, 1870 in the first annual Goo
Der Bowl game at Enfield.
Farmville scored first in the
ball game by recovering a Scot
land Neck tumble on the 20 and
moving to a quick touchdown.
Frank DuPree put the visitors
in good position by moving on
19-yard dash to the Scotland
Neck one-yard stripe, from
which point Bobby Brock
plunged through the line for the
touchdown.
The home team came back
fast, however, and scored twice
before the first quarter had
drawn to a close. After the
score by Farmville, Scotland
Neck put on 58-yard drive
which was climaxed by Jimmy
Wilkinson's going into the end
zone from the one after taking a
lateral from AL Braxton.
Late in the quarter the home
club went well ahead to stay

For Justice was superb as the

for two more touchdowns to lead
the North Carolina Tar Heels to

With the second quarter only

After Virginia's aerial game

gap again.
Charlie hit end Bob Cox with

This time Justice set sail down

I have had a plentiful opportunity

Let me say right here, without fear
of contradiction, that the State Of
Mississippi takes excellent care Of
the colored race. Over 80 per cent
of the work done in the Yazoo Coun-
ty Health Department is for the
negro. They take care of him when
he has any venereal disease and
teach him how to prevent getting

clinics are run twice a month for

his children examined regularly and
immunized against diphtheria, small

how to prevent malaria and in a

3 Unions Block Labor Peace Refuse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by Is Otter Railroad Unions!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, representing
$4,000 railroad employees, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of 15H cents an hour.
This is the same increase awarded
1000, 600 incorporating employees by an
arbitration board in September, 1947:
This is the same increase accepted by
IT'S, 1000 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November IA, 1947.
Agreements have been made with
LIS, 900 employees, represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions, rep
resenting only 125, 900 men, are trying to
get more. They are demanding also many
new working rules not embraced in the
settlement with the conductors and train
men.
Incidentally, the Switchmen's Union Of
North America represents only about 70
of all railroad switchmen, the other $3.50
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and covered by the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread
strike ballot while negotiations were still
in progress. This is not a secret vote but II
taken by union leaders and votes are
aligned by the employees in the presence
of union representatives.
When direct negotiations failed, the
leaders of these three unions refused to
join the railroads in asking the National
Mediation Board to attempt to settle the
dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction
at the request of the carriers and has been
earnestly attempting since November "a,
1947, to bring about settlement. The
Board on January Is, 1948, announced
it's inability to reach a mediation settle;
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board to
arbitrats. The railroads accepted.

occurred. DUNG two-year period

however, that the death rate is ap-

From 1886 through 1945 the num-
Der of deaths from tuberculosis
among negroes in the state dropped
