Gov. Lane Suggests
That Bay Bridge Be
Veterans. Memorial
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. Gov. Lane
suggested last night that the pro-
posed Chesapeake Bay bridge by
memorial to Maryland veterans
of the two world wars.
The span Is to extend from Sandy
Point to Kent Island, connecting
the Eastern Shore with the rest
OF Maryland. First contracts fol-
contraction are expected to be let
before the years end.
The Governors suggestion is the
newest development in a Baltimore
City controversy centering around
the municipal stadium.
1t was originally planned to me.
morialize the veterans of the Firs,
and Second World Wars in an en-.
larged sports arena, and the loar
ordinances referred to its officially
as the Memorial Stadium" After
the death of Babe Ruth, however
Mayor Thomas D'Alesardro ano
city officials approved Babe Ruth
Stadium" as the name of the struc-
ture.
Despite official protestations that
the stadium would be dedicated to
the veterans although named fol-
the Baltimore born home-run king
the new appellation has met oppo-
lsition from veterans groups as well
as from the Gold Star Mothers.
Gov. Lanes suggestion that the
bridge take the place of a city me-
mortal was made at a meeting last
night which included the Demo-
cratic Party Veterans Committee
and party leaders Of the 18th ward.
He put forth the. idea after Mrs.
Nellie Twele, president of the Gold
Star Mothers, said her group is still
opposed to naming the stadium for
Babe Ruth.
Main purpose Of the meeting was
to organize support for President
Truman and other Democratic can
didates in tomorrow's election. II
was called by vice president Muth
OF the Baltimore City Council. Mr.
Muth Is chairman Of the Veterans
Committee and an active opponent
OF naming the arena for Ruth.
The Governor announced his sup
port OF the proposed rebuilding OF
the structure. for which the city Is
seeking a $500, 900 loan, and Mayor
d d'Alesandro and other city officials
said they Endorsed all State pro-
posals on the ballot. Besides the
stadium loan on which city resi-
dents will vote tomorrow, an earlier
81, 10000 issue for the purpose al
ready has been approved.

Stoebe Says Charges
| Made at '1lth Hour
| Are Preposterous

Opponents of the proposed $4,.
100000 Arlington school construc.
tion bond issue are using foul blows
aimed at Arlington's children -"
to confuse voters" ROLAND w.
Stoebe, chairman of the Co-ordi-
mating Council for the Arlington
School Bond Campaign, charged
today.
"A small group of wealthy land
holders and their friends have made
preposterous charges against our
hard-working, conscientious School
Board at the eleventh hour" he
asserted.
"This group is spend ing large
sums for last-minute advertise
mentS, mailouts and radio time so
that the board will have no oppor-
tunity to give the public the real
facts"
Mr.. Stoebe said voters who con-
trast the presentation of the "trus
facts" by the School Board to more
than so civic groups, with the pres
entation by those who have more
money than ethics" will vote for
the bond project at tomorrow's ball
loting.
Controversy Over Site. =
1.-TWO days ago the wealthy land
holder group deplored the fact that
school sites have not been OBJ
tained," Mr.. Stoebe said. THE next
day they criticized the board for
obtaining the best and most
reasonable site available. At no
time have they offered any solution
for the problem Of increasing en-
rollment."
The Fact Finders Council of Ar
lington criticized the boards pur-
chase of a $4,000 site for a new
33-room Junior high school on Va
cation lane at Military road.
This land was purchased for
SAT 900, but 1t has been estimated
that $4,000 will be required to fill
and grade the site, and $4,000 for
a bridge to reach same" the. Fact
Finders said.
School officials replied that it will
cost about $1,000 more" to build
a school on the tract than it would
on a level, ideal site which was not
available. Building on the Vaca-
tion lane site will be cheaper than
any other available site," school Of
f1cials declared.
Classroom Cost Held Too High.
The Fact Finders Council also de-
clared it regards School Board
figures on the cost of classrooms az
"out Of line with sound building
estimates
School ofncfals answered that the
costs are not out of line with those
experienced throughout the country
and claimed that estimates for the
proposed Junior high ssschool are
lower than the cost of junior high
fscholos now under construction in
the District.
The trip of Frank L. Ball, jr., at.
torney for the School Board in the
sale of recent $1,776, 900 bond issue.
to New York for final arrangements
was criticized by the Fact Finders
Council, which termed the journey
"a pleasure at taxpayers expense"
Mr.. Balls presence in New York
was very necessary" school Off
cials said, pointing out that he &C
companied them at the request of
New York attorneys handling sale
of the bonds.
Mr.. Stoebe declared that eff there
are any more of those 11th-hour
attacks you should recognize them
as the unethical and misleading
statements Of group who are
afraid TO discuss the real issues be-
fore the public"

Those Uho tauor the plan claim
The proposed charter would bring
home rule" to the country with a
'seven-member council adopting all
local legislation in the county seat
at Rockville. Under the present
system, local laws are enacted at
biennial sessions of the General As
sembly in Annapolis, which is COM
posed of delegations from every
county in the State.
A county manager trained in
municipal administration would be
appointed by the council to carry
out its decisions, leaving the latter
free to concentrate on legislative
and policy matters.
Proposed legislation would be ad-
vertised by the council before ac<
tion is taken and no bill would be
voted on for 10 days after its in
PRODUCTION except by consent of five
councilmen. This would give tax
payers time to study pending legis-
lation and would eliminate the pos
sibility of "sneaking through" laws
without the public being informed
A veto power is given the people
by q referendum on any law or bond
issue, with minor exceptions. II a
petition signed by 10 per cent OF
the voters so requests. No bonds
for current expenses could be issued
to run for more than IL months and
all notes would have to be paid
when due.
At present, notes frequently are
refunded when due-that is, new
obligations are authorized to pay
of the old ones.
Finally. the present 'hodge-podge'
Of county agencies would be re-
grouped under three departments
finance. public works and the
county attorneys ofnce. If State
legislation in future years should
give the people Of the county con-
troll over such semi-autonomoui
agencies as the Washington Sub.
urban Sanitary and Park Commis.
sions, the charter may be easily
amended to cover the changes.
The proposed charter. If approved
could be repealed under the same
procedure used in adopting it.

Safety Council Notes

The Delaware Safety Council
asks this pertinent question: Have
you ever watched a home burn
down and see the family carried
out into the street, to stand there
shivering and fearful while firemen
made frantic efforts to salvage fur
niture' and belongings? If you have,
then you realize that when a home
burns, there is more loss than can
be measured in dollars and cents.
In home, there centers something
of the family unity itself and SEN
tlmental associations that are diff
tcult to rebuild. If you have ever
witnessed such a scene of terror
and grief and loss, you will let this
serve as a reminder to check up on
the fire hazards in your home and
to eliminate them. Sometimes fires
take more than property. Some
times they take life. Act before it's
too late. Lock the fire demon out of
your home.
The Delaware Safety Council in
conjunction with the volunteer fire
men of Delaware list a few of the
ways to prevent fires in your home:
l. DiscOnnect electrical applian-
ces when they are not in use.
z. Do not use electric heaters un-
less absolutely necessary. If you do,
be sure no furniture, clothings,
rugs, woodwork or other cOmbus-
tible material is within 6 feet of the
front. If the heater is on for long

The Delaware Safety Council re-
minds US that when it comes to the
question of fire prevention, there
are three main points to consider:
First, a good citizen will try in ev-
cry way to avoid being the cause of
danger through permitting any of
the practices that we have been
warned about; second, he will re-
move all dangerous conditions that
he may find in his home; and third,
he will train himself to recognize
dangerous conditions in the COM
munity, will use his influence to
have them removed and will teach
others habits of carefulness.
