School Board
Has Emergency
Funds Granted

An emergency request for $780,
900 to finance school building
maintenance until July / was APP
proved by the County Council or
Tuesday. The action was taken by
three commissioners while two
others were at lurch, against the
advice of County Supervisor, Irv-
ing G. McNayr. Voting for the
measure were President Brooke
Johns, Counclmen Charles Jami-
son, and "Ace" Esworthy.
Earlier Mr.. McNayr had warned
that if 100000 were appropriated
the county would face a probable
deficit of 100000 for the current
fiscal year. He recommended that
$4,000 be appropriated at this
time and the School Board told
to re-program and re-schedule to
meet that amount Mr. McNayr
said that the S142,984 allotted for
school maintenance for the entire
year, had already been spent.
The Council voted 2-2 on the
adoption of the proposed amend
ments to the coming ordinance that
pave a way for a $4,000 addition
to Chevy Chase Junior College.
The amendment, if passed, would
have given little relief to the CO.
operative nursery schools. Mr..
Sauter and Mr.. Youngblood voted
for the measure-Mr. Johns and
Mr.. Esworthy against it. Mr..
Jamison was not present.
The Council postponed a hearing
scheduled for Tuesday morning on
the proposed countrywide fire code
until after the newly elected Coun-
Gil takes Office January 10. Mr..
Welsh, attorney to the Council,
sad the present interim council
could not act since it has no legis-
lative powers.

The Layman's Choir of Rock
vile went Christmas caroling on
Monday evening, instead of hold

Military and Economic
Pact Between Britain
And Fire Predicted
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 19.-British Com
monwealth leaders predicted to-
day that Britain and Fire next
year will begin negotiating a
treaty for a close military and
economic alliance.
These responsible informants said
the talks are likely to begin soon
after Fire Prime Minister John A..
Costello's bill to repeal Fires EX-
ternal Relations Act becomes lat.
This bill will take Fire out of the
British Commonwealth.
The Dali Eireann, first chamber
of Fires Parliament, yesterday
voted Mr.. Costello formal permis-
sion to introduce his bill. The
measure would abolish a 1886 act
that allows the British King to &C
credit Fires enveys to foreign coun-
tries and to sign international
agreements.
Mr.. Costello has gone on record
as favoring close association be-
tween his country and the states OF
the British Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth informants,
who refused to be identified by
name or nation, said British. Aus
tralian. Canadian and New Zea-
land representatives have assured
Irish ministers informally they
would like to continue close eco
nomic and political associations.
Other Special Ties Predicted.
The informants. who included
Commonwealth cabinet ministers,
said that apart from the predicted
treaty talks with Britain, it is pos
sible that Fire will enter into spe-
cial relationships with certain other
Commonwealth countries. The ma
ture of these relationships was not
specified.
It Is held likely that the ques-
ton of Fires entry into the five
nation Brussels alliance and, sub
sequently, into the planned north
Atlantic defense system, will be
discussed early next year.
Mr.. Costello said some months
ago that Fires price for entering
the Brussels alliance would be the
ending of Irish partition, an old
source of British-Irish conflict.
Fire includes the 26 southern
counties of Ireland. Northern Ire
land, which conci.ts of six counties,
is part of the United Kingdom. The
population of Fire is nearly 3,000,-
OUU and of Northern Ireland about
1,3O0,O ,Ooo.
Softening on Partition Seen.
The informants said, however,
that the pressure of world events
may have caused a softening of Mr..
Costello's attitude on partition.
At conference Tuesday among
Fire and Commonwealth officials
the informants said, it was decided
that there will be a time gap be-
tween the date on which Mr.. Co.'S
tellos bill becomes law and its
practical application.
This means, they said, that no
immediate crisis will be involved in
such matters as:
l. The stutus of Irish nationals
living in Commonwealth countries.
2. Finance and trade relations be-

Unions Ready
For NOU. 2

WASHINGTON - (LPA) -
Nearly two dozen Senate contests
find organized labor-AFL, CIO
unaffiliated unions-working to-
gether to retire Taft -Hartleyite
solons and to keep in Washington
those senators who are proven
friends of organized labor. Equal
unity exists in scores of Con-
gressional fights, according to
labor men checking up on the ma
tional election scene. Most union
men are working, too, for the re-
election of Democratic President
Truman. With registration at an
all time high in many states, un-
ionists are confident that results
will surprise the smart alecs who
think it's in the bag for reac-
ton"

ed for the heaviest vote in his
tory, to elect Harry Truman as
president and to bring about the
one change we do need, and
that is change from a reaction
ary Republican Congress to a
liberal Democratic Congress in
Washington"
Speaking from the same plat
form ACW President Jacob Pot
ofsky contrasted the Republican
and Democratic records on labor
laws, prices, housing, rent con-
troll, education, minimum wage,
and social security. On each,
Potofsky charged, the COPS one
thought is: Give the people
nothing"
"Dewey's strength is no great
er than in 1914" according to
even the most conservative
opinion polls, the ACW head
pointed out, but his candidacy is
getting boost from the disunity
tactics of Henry Wallace. Dewey
can't win clear majority. He
is banking on enough Dixiecrats
and Wallace votes to give him a
victory"
Barkley told his audience ex-
actly what Democratic admin
istration would do: repeal the
Taft-Hartley act and substitute
basic remedies for industrial
strife; raise the minimum wage
to 75c an hour; increase by so
per cent old age and survivors
insurance benefits, and extend
social security protection; re-
build the Labor Dept; support
the right of all to equal oppor-
tunity of employment, regardless
of race, creed or color; prompt
action to curb initiation; fulfill
the pledge in the Employment
Act of 1946.

SWEEPINGS
from
American Floor

HERE is some good news. New
IL heaters are ordered for the
stockroom, to keep you warm
this winter.
Two girls were made happy
this week by receiving a ring
from their o. A. O.'s. Best
wishes go to Corrine (COrky)
Dennis and Mary ZatkO.
MYSTERY OF THE WEEK
Who is going to be the new
foreman in the stockroom?
A hunting we must go! Bob
link was quite successful with
the little bunnies, but Walter
Paeth and Willie Peters had to
work hard to get theirs.
Plans are under way for an
other of those swell skating
parties. Watch for the an
nOuncement!
The men in the stockroom had
quite a time the other day catch
ing little baby rats. It's a good
thing they caught them now, be-
fore they grew up.
The bowling league race Is
hotter than ever with three
games separating the first and
last place teams. Hottest bowler
in the league is Herman Ben
dorf, who started the season
with 106 average and has
pushed it up to 100. The boys
who Just don't live right are
Rine Mayors and Loman Wagle.
They knock the pins down and
the pins stand right back up for
them. The looks on these boys
faces are pathetic. Loman Wagle,
after a siege in the hospital,
came back to pace the Hot Rods
and pull them back into first
place. Cliff Baker blew a chance
for high game when he threw
one in the gutter. He ended with
211. Anybody ever notice speed
ball McNeely wind up? Bet
could use a fast baller
like him. More power to the
section made up of the
bowlers better halves.
