When parents at Andrews Air
Force Base send their children to
summer camp, it's like putting
them on a train to Maine" al
though the camp is only a couple
of miles away.
Trips to Maine are a little steep
for the pocketbooks Of Air Force
officers and enlisted men. how
ever, and last spring members OF
the Andrews Air Force Base Par
ents' Association decided to do
something about it.
An engineer battalion had
abandoned a few buildings IN
wooded area of the vast base and
when Maj. George M. Knauf. base
surgeon, suggested the site might
make an ideal summer camp. the
parents-and Col. William Jones,
base commander-snapped it up.
Ready for Operation.
Inside of q few short weeks the
temporary buildings had become
a mess hall, a shower and bath
house and an ingenious bowling
ALLEY" A few large tents were
pitched and the camp was ready
for operation.
Now all an Air Force parent has
to do is pack a few clothes and
put up So week, and his boy or
girl is in for away-from- home
camping right on the base-some-
times within two and half miles
of his home. Except in emer-
gencies, parents are allowed to
see their children only for a two
hour visiting period each Sunday.
The So fee was what members
of the Parents Association fig
ured would be the cost of food
for the children-with other ex-
penses to be met by benefits and
raffies staged by the Officers Club
and other base organizations.
Children Put on Weight.
I'VE figured food on the basis
Of one field ration for a child each
day supposed to be enough to
feed an adult even under combat
conditions" Maj. Knauf observed
dryly. That's what we thought.
But these kids are different"
Such voracious appetites are
the children raising that 70 field
rations a day for the approx
mately 81 youngsters now in camp
are none too many. Food is based
on the Air Force menu and is
bought each day at the base store.
Eating three big meals a day and
living in the open. nearly all the
children are putting on weight.
1.-THE Parents Association is
losing money" remarked another
parent, Capt. Burke Edwards. "and
the parents are tickled to death" +"
A full-fledged camp program is
offered the youngsters-from Z to
IA years old-ineluding swimming
for two hours each morning in the
base pool, two miles from camp

a meeting of the judges with AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Clark
King, Police 5upt. Robert J. Bar
rett and Assistant Police Supt.

situation this fall.

Asked what arrangements were

court, Judge Barse said there are
just not enough judges to take care
of the situation in all the courts"
He again pointed out that "drunk
court" is the worst bottleneck.

The meeting stemmed out OF a
! letter to Judge Barse by Maj. Bar
rett, who complained that study
made on July II revealed 188
policemen were in court for total
of 47312 hours. The minimum
stay was IS minutes and the maxi
mum was 612 hours, Maj. Barrett
told Judge Barse.
! Maj. Barrett said, on leaving the

:. BY coincidence. Judge Raedy
today relieved the regular drunk
court of a number of cases when

Judge Raedy explained, for un-
occupied judges to lend hand in

TaxLien Notices
Set Off Study
0fD.C.R Returns
Collector Scrutinizes
Records of Persons
In Federal Actions

Tax Collector Guy Pearson said
today his Office is scrutinizing
carefully the District income tax
returns of persons against whom
Federal income tax lien notices
are being filed in District Court.
Mr.. Pearson said many of the
residents being named in the
Federal lien notices also have been
found delinquent in District taxes.
1t was estimated in Mr.. Pear
sons Office that about half of the
persons named in the Federal lien
notices have been found in ar
rears in their District income
taxes. The District Office keeps
a record of and follows up each
Federal notice filed.
Earliest Liens Given Priority.
Priority. when a judgment is
obtained from the court, goes to
the lien with the earliest recorded
date.
Meanwhile, an Internal Revenue
Bureau spokesman said many of
the taxpayers named in the lien
notices have come in voluntarily
and paid up. They are doing this
at the rate of 8 or 10 a day, the
official asserted.
Generally they are paying
these taxes very promptly where
the liens have been filed" he
said.
And the publicity has had the
effect of bringing action from
others in arrears in tax payments,
who fear court proceedings against
them.
AS yet, the bureau spokesman
said, it has not been necessary to
resort to the drastic provision
made possible under an act OF
Congress whereby the bureau can
seize an automobile. levy on a
bank account or sell real estate
or other property, If necessary to
satisfy the tax. This can be done
after a tax lien notice has been
filed, without any further court
action, the official explained. be-
cause a court judgment is not
necessary.
Official Release Given.
Those named in the tax lien
notices who pay up are given an
official release. The Bureau official
said the tax release should be Of
ficially recorded in District Court
to clear the records and the prop
erty involved.
Most of the persons against
whom the tax lien notices have
been filed by Internal Revenue
Collector George Hofferbert of Bal
tirnore are self-employed, such as
lawyers, doctors and business men.
Payroll deductions under the with
holding tax provided for under the
Tax Payment Act passed June 9,
1913, take care of most workers un-
less they have outside income.
The Bureau spokesman said
the District Court actions are not
the result Of a special drive on de-
linquent taxpayers, but the nat
ural result of the March Is returns
and their examination. About 95
per cent of the tax lien notices filed
represent 1948 income accounts,
he said. There are a few cases in
volving taxes for earlier years.

Federal Efforts 10 Settle
Bus Dispute Collapse
AS State Runs Lines

Under Virginia State manage
ment, the Alexandria, Bancroft
& Washington busline entered its
second day of frictionless opera
ton today while its owners and
striking bus drivers and me-
chanics remained deadlocked in a
dispute over wages.
Efforts of Federal Conciliator
Gilbert McCutcheon to break the
stalemate in contract negotiations
collapsed yesterday when labor
management representatives ended
the daily conferences they had
been holding at headquarters of
the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service.
Both sides said no plans had
been made for future conferences.
Gov. Tuck of Virginia seized the
buSline in the interest of public
safety and welfare at 2 am. yes
terday the effective hour OF a
strike called by members OF Divi-
sion 1881, Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees OF
America.
The union drivers and mechan-
les had previously assured the
Governor that they would not
strike against the State and all
remained on their jobs when the
line was seized. There was no
break in the company schedules.
Drivers and mechanics for the
Washington, Marlboro & Annap-
oils busline, which carries some
25,000 passengers daily between
Washington and nearby Mary
land, voted last night to file a
strike notice against the COM
pany unless demands for arbitra-
ton of a dispute over dismissal
of one of its members is met.
The company has challenged
the unions right to represent the
dismissed employe, E. J. Garrity
of West Beach. Md. Mr.. Clarity,
formerly mechanic for the line,
has been employed in the stock
room since he lost an arm while
working on a bus a year ago. The
management contends its con-
tract with the union does not
cover stockroom employees.
