Green Offers 10 Paw
Radio Bill in Debate
On School Bond Issue
By Robert G. RoIlinos

Arlington County Treasurer John
Locke Green today offered to debate
the merits of proposed $4,750, 900
bond issue for school construction,
which he opposes.
Mr.. Green. who contends the bond
issue will increase the tax rate by
rs cents, made his offer to Oscar r.
LIE Beau, former chairman of the
Citizens Committee for School I'm
provement and one of the chief ad-
vocates of the bond issue
Mr.. Green said he would be glad
to carry on the debate over the
radio and offered to pay for Mr..
LIE Beaus time as well as his own.
Arlington, according to the county
treasurer, cannot stand the proposed
bond issue. In a letter to Mr.. LIE
Beau, Mr.. Green declared that the
county already has a bonded debt OF
1855. 900 in bonds. In addition
bond issues of $1,776,0O0 for schools
and $760 900 for an incinerator have
been authorized but not yet sold
Bids are scheduled to be received
however, by the School and County
Board on October IA.
Sees $4 Tax Rate.
The present tax rate of 1925 per
SlO0 of assessed valuation would
have to be increased to S4 at least in
order to pay for the proposed $4,75O,-
900 issue, Mr.. Green declared.
He conceded that his figure is in
conflict with those advanced by
Barnard Joy, County School Board
chairman, who declared Sunday that
the proposed issue would increase
the tax rate by about "a cents. Mr.
Joy based his computations on fig.
ures given the School and County
Boards by H. H. Miller of New York
Joint financial advisor to the boards
Mr.. Miller, an employe Of a New
York bonding firm, said Saturday
that based on the present valua'
tlons and assessments, each 81 ,000,'
900 of bonds issued will cost the
county a scent increase in the
tax rate.
Harder Collection Task Seen.
Mr.. Green predicted that it "wil
be harder to collect taxes beginning
this year than 1t has been for the
past seven years"

Used Car Sales
DropSharp|y;
Prices S|ashed
Business Falling Off
After Credit Curb,
Dealers Report

Used car sales, as well as price.
have slumped markedly in many in
stances here in the past several
weeks.
The drop in the market has been
accelerated since the new Federal
Reserve Board regulation of one
third cash in most car sales went in
to effect September 20.
Leading used car dealers checked
reported varying estimates of drop
in business and prices. Sales VOL
ume declines ranged from Is to IS
per cent, while price cuts varied from
$loo to $500 per car.
j. D. Rice. wholesaler who has
been in the business more than Is
years, described it as "a real big
slump" and added it was what we
have been looking for for some
time"
"Swamped" by Owner.
He reported that used car own
ers are "swamping u.s. in an effort
to unload their automobiles but are
being turned down in large numbers.
The condition is not peculiar to
Washington but is happening in
most of the country. according to
Mr.. Rice. He noted that price
reductions have been prevalent in
the postwar models and particular
ly the fancy, high-cosJ models.
Fred CHASER, auto dealer with ex-
perience over a period of 18 years,
insisted the new regulation. :on:e-
times known as Regulation w,
eventually will kill business, be-
cause people can't make the down
payments" He reported his sales
off two thirds.
Some Cut $500.
Mr.. CHASER said some prewar
models have been cut about s100
and that the reduction increased
with the year and selling price.
Cars costing more than $500 have
come down 5000, he estimated.
Warren Sanders. ~ years in the
used car industry, reported sales
cut in half and fewer persons "look-
ing around" About IS per cent
of this decline. he said, is seasonal,
but the rest is due to credit curos.
Prices are dropping on 1946, 1947
and 1948 models, he said, simply
because not enough cars are being
sold" He estimated cuts of between
500 and SITS car.
Francis j. Winn, another larger
dealer, said he did not blame the
slump on Regulation w.
Found Buyer Resistance.
prior to the regulation, there
was a great deal of resistance by
BUYERS" he declared. He blamed it
on the fact there was less money
available because of the high cost
of living.
Several dealers were critical of
new car dealers for allowing pur-
chasers only a very small amount
for q trade-in and then selling
the used car at a big profit.
Individuals advertising their own
car for sale are cutting in on the
dealers operations. one dealer
pointed out.
Joseph B. Danzansky, counsel for
the National Capital Used Car
Dealers Association, commented
that the tendency in the market
has been down for some time and
that Regulation w only fastened
the decline He said it was some
thing the dealers had been antici-
pating.
Legitimate dealers are going to
remain in business, and the industry
will not fold despite definite
eIackeninp off" he asserted.

residents of the two communities.
The Beltsville application. SUBJ
mitted by Christine Schleehauf, was
turned down for the second time
within a year 1t was just rejected
October Is, 1947. The liquor board
decided to hear the case, rather
than make all witnesses return
again next month. even though
law prohibits rejected applicants
from resubmitting their requests for
at least a year after being turned
down.
Delegations Protest.
A delegation of about Is per-
sons, led by two churchmen, the
Rev. William Anna, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal Church, Belts
vile, and Rev. Glen j. Cooper. pas
tor of Beltsville Methodist Church,

led by Bladensburg town council
man, Carroll F. Palmer. appeared
against the other rejected appli-
cation. Asserting they did not wish
another rum row" in Bladensburg.
the group contended there already
were IA liquor dispensing estab-
lishments in the area, including
four in the same block as the ap-
plicant.

ing it was brought out that Will
liam Mangum. listed as vice presi-
dent of the corporation, was
granted a similar license last No.
vember 20, only to have the deci-
sion reversed in the county circuit
court a short time later on grounds

himself in the first request.

that Of Paul H. Ahrens for a beer
and light wine, on-sale permit, for
the Wayside Inn, East-West high
way, Berwyn Heights. also was op-
posed by residents of the commun-
ity. The board, after hearing testi-
mony, decided in favor of the permit
when the opposition agreed there
was a need for a restaurant in the
area.
Four Licenses Approved.

proved. They were for William j

TOURISTS WILL ARRIVE SOON

Hundreds of Montanans are busy with preparations for
handling another record influx of tourists. From the national
parks, down to the smallest motel those who cater to visitors
from other states are striving to expand facilities. And well
they may. Last year virtually all available space was taken
in hotels and camps on main highways by A p. m. daily says
Independent Record.
Before the summer of 1947 ended, travellers were accus-
toned to arise between 4 and 6 a. m so they could be on the
road in time to complete the days allotted mileage before a
7. m. Otherwise, they would not have a chance to find shelter
for the night. There is just one answer to that-more space.
Many of the leading dude ranches are booked up far IN
advance. Of course, visitors to these ranches plan to stay from
one to three weeks, possibly longer. They may use the ranches
as a base for trips to interesting places. Again this year,
there promises to be heavy travel to those popular ranches.
There is no hope that traffic will be controlled better this
wear than last. The Pacific northwest states have formed an
organization for exchange of information that will help a great
deal. But, when the visitors start to arrive by train, plane,
bus and motor cars, many places will be taxed to the limit.
In less than a month the first rush of travellers will come.
End of schools in the east is the signal for many families to
start west. Indeed, Montanans will need to be on their toes
this year to care for thevisitors.

AKRON, o. Although Elias

Packing a lunch that packs a

day sameness is a problem of many
homemakers. Aim always to include
something crisp, something juicy,

nutrition specialists. Each lunch
box should contain one third of the

WHY Clothes Wrinkle

Chemists have discovered why
garments wrinkle. Attributing wrin-
kles in clothing to the personal
ity of the individual ibers," a re-
port made to American Chemical
society declared that any fabrics
resistance to stretching depends on
the fineness of its filaments, the ease
with which they are able to move
in relation to one another and their
ability to recover from stretching
without being permanently de-
formed.
