Maryland Council Hits
Federal School Aid Bill
" The Asseejoted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 31.-The
Maryland Public Expenditure Coun.
Gil said today the Federal aide te
education bill now before the Senate
would cost Maryland taxpayers
about $3,424,000 and return only
$2.135 900 to the State in benefits.
The council explained that since
Maryland is ranked as one of the
IL wealthiest States, it would re-
ceive the minimum grant OF IS a
pupil.
Federal control is q very real
threat inherent in the BILL" the
council said IN report on the pro-
posal.
THE fundamental question wheth-
er such aid is really needed has
been answered for Maryland by
Gov. Lane when he stated last fall
eve have plenty Of reserve
financial strength and can do more
for public education without addi-
ton Federal assistance.
lone of the practical difficulties
in any such plan is the fact that so
many States have not put their own
houses IN order. They have made
no effort even within their limited
means to equalize educational op-
portunity within their own bor-
ders.'"
The Public Expenditure Council
said the Federal grant will enable
some States to reduce the contribu-
tions they are now making to their
own school systems.

commended to Gov. Lane last night
that the institution for Negro de-
linquents be moved to a site nearer
Baltimore.
1t was the first official recon-
mendation of the al1-Negro board

were moved to new site, its name
and other aspects of its past his
tory might be left behind"
Several reasons were given fol-
the desire to move Cheltenham
from its present site in Prince
Georges County.
Most dealt with its remoteness
from Baltimore. Ninety per cent OF
its inmates are from Baltimore. A

A proposal by the National Cap

to convert approximately 1900 acres
of unoccupied land, adjacent to
Greenbelt, into regional recreation
area was opposed yesterday by the
Prince Georges County commission
ers.
Instead, the commissioners rec
commended that the Government

velopment."
Their action followed a request
by the Prince Georges County di-
vision of the Metropolitan Home

thing in their power" to have the
area developed, the commissioners
reported they would notify the Fed
eral Housing Authority, the agency
controlling the land, of their inten-
tions. The commissioners also an
nounced they would seek support of
Maryland members of Congress.

ernment to take this high, rolling,

vided it could prevail on the FHA to
agree to transfer it. Plans included
an 18-hole golf course, trailer camp,

before United States District Judge
Sterling Hutcheson Of Richmond for

grounds that the person who gained

on a lesser charge, gave police the
evidence that led to Briggs pur-
ported admission Of guilt.
Matthews also told him that the
person who took the money from the

burned 1t, Holzworth said. This the
police have refused to believe, sus-
pecting rather that the $4,000 has
been concealed somewhere.
The spiritualist being questioned

Underestimate in Cost
Of Construction Nav
Stop Some Projects
By Mon Lou Werner

Alexandria's $4,000, 1000 school,
building program faces a Is per
cent curtailment because of under
estimated building costs.
This was disclosed today after a
joint meeting of the School Board
and City Council last night. School
authorities told the Council that a
bid for construction Of the new
Northeast Elementary School has
run about rs per cent higher than
originally anticipated.
The Council was told indications
are that other new schools and
school additions in the program
also would cost about rs per cent
more than expected.
In view of this, the Council was
told, the bond issue OF approximately
So 900 900 authorized for the school
program could not be expected to
cover the entire program. which
includes three new schools and six
school additions.
No Likelihood of Increase.
Council members told the School
Board 1t would have to complete
as much of the program as possible
with the original ALLEGATION. Coun-
cilmen pointed out that the city was
dangerously near to its limit of in
debtedness and could not see its way
clear to increase the school bond
issue.
The Council suggested that school
officials look into the possibility of
building a regional colored high
school with Arlington and Fairfax
Counties. The original school build
ing program includes a $4,000
colored high school for Alexandria.
Preliminary plans are under way,
and 1t is listed second in priority
to the Northeast school.
Last week the Arlington School
Board indicated it would be inter-
ested in joining Alexandria in con-
structing a new colored high school.
Some May Not Be Completed.
The 100000 school bond issue
was authorized by the Council sew
efal months ago. The projects were
listed in the order of need. Accord
ingly some officials now believe the
projects last on the list may not be
completed because of the latest
development.
The last project is a $155, 900 addi-
tion at the Jefferson School. Next
to last Is a $349 900 addition at the
Mount Vernon School and third
from the bottom is a $4,000 item
for improving the Macarthur School.
The Council authorized the School
Board to accept the $582 1857 bid to
construct the Northeast school. The
original cost estimated for this
school was about $3.50, 900.
