McNayr' Plan
Democratic Unit
Committee Urges
Increase, Not Cut,
In Area Services
By John v. Homer

The Democratic State Central
Committee for Montgomery County
today added its opposition to Acting
County Manager Irving G. McNayr's
proposal to curtail service building
functions In Bethesda and Silver
Spring.
BY unanimous action, the COM
mittee denounced the reorganiza-
tion plan submitted to the new
County Council and urged its re.
lection at the council meeting to-
morrow.
The committee urged that the
services provided In the populous
suburban communities be increased
rather than reduced.
The party's stand on the McNayr
proposal was made public just one
day after the committee announced
it had pledged to cooperate "te
the fullest reasonable extent" with
the new council. In its earliest
statement, members said they re
served" the right to express oppo.
sition to any proposals before the
council which the party organiza-
tion regards as "unsound or unwise'
Proposals Attacked.
Mr.. McNayr's reorganization plan
already has been attacked by Eina

Maryland Legislature
Reconvenes Tonight;
Budget Action Due
BY the Assoeioied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-The Mary
land Legislature reconvenes after
long week end tonight for wha'
may be the busiest week thus fa1
in the 1949 session.
The lawmakers adjourned las
Wednesday for the remainder of tn.
week, in order to attend President
Truman's Inauguration. In the frs
three weeks of the session there
have been only nine working day.
for the legislators.
The budget, Jim Crow laws ane
subversive organizations are among
the big issues facing the Legisla.
ture this week.
The administrations plans fol
what will be the first one-yeal
budget in Maryland history will be
outlined by Gov. Lane tomorrow
night. Until a referendum last
November 2. two-year. budgets were
the rule in Maryland.
The administre ton has not dis
closed the details Of it's proposed
budget, but sources close to the Gov.
ernor say it will "stay in the black.
Budget Could Reach 1873 Million.
A balanced budget could run as
high as S133,000,0O0, since general
fund income is expected to come
to nearly $4,000, 900 during the next
fiscal year, with special fund re.
ceipts for general expenses coming
to about $60,00O,000. A budget ap-
preaching such a total would be
the largest in Maryland history.
The Governor has not said what
parts of the State budget will be
discussed in Tuesdays message ano
what parts will be left for the sup
Elemental budget later in the ses.
sion.
However, controversial matters are
often left until later, to allow time
for investigations.
Mental hospital appropriations
welfare appropriations, and the
Tldewater Fisheries Commission
might fall into that category this
year.
A stormy series of sessions has
been predicted for identical House
and Senate bills aimed at purging
the State Government and its de-
partments of Communists.
Would Require Checks.
The measure would require 10y
atty checks of all city, county and
State employees and impose heavy
punishments upon any such person
who remained in service while
member of a subversive group.
The State Commission on Sub
versive Activities submitted the bill
without holding public hearings and
many organizations have asked to
air their views on it before the
House and Senate Judiciary Com
mittees.
Another controversial measure on
the docket would repeal the law
which segregates whites and Ne
groes on common carries. The law
is now enforced only on the Chesa-
peake Bay ferry system.
Similar repealers have gotten
through the State Senate with little
opposition in past years, but the
county delegates in the Lower House
can be expected to put up fight.
Two other main questions to be
answered this session are whether
to purchase the O'Sullivan Build.
ing in downtown Baltimore as q
State Office building and whether
to alter the House of Delegates
membership so as to give more
representation to heavily populated
areas. But the Legislature prob
ably will not get to either of these
questions this week.

The board, of which Maurice K
HEARTFELT is chairman. adopted a
resolution stating it has been 'un-
able to persuade him to continue in
the capacity Of headmaster" and de-
clared DR.. Lucas has served for 20
years with great fidelity and dis
tinction, providing by his unselfish
devotion to his duties and his out
standing talents an inspiration for
his students. his fellow teachers and
all who have known him"
No Plans for Future.
DR.. Lucas today said he had no
definite plans for the future. He
pointed out that on taking the post
here he had reserved the right to
resign after serving 20 years.

cision to resign at this time comes
as a very great disappointment to
me personally and to all who know
of the extraordinary leadership that
he has given the school,"
Speaking for the teachers and
students, Alfred r. True, assistant
headmaster, said the reaction in the
school was one Of extreme and
pronounced regret. While the
resignation to a certain extent was
anticipated 1t was not taken too
seriously. His leaving is great
loss to the Cathedral as a whole

Washington diocese"
Decision "Irrevocable."
In his letter to the Board Of Gov
ernors, DR.. Lucas, who also is q
canon Of Washington Cathedral,

pointed headmaster Of st. Adams
in 1929 I told DR.. (James e. Free
man, then Bishop Of Washington,
should ask to be released upon
conclusion of 20 years OF service,
provided my work was acceptable
during the intervening years. That
time Is now at hand. This decision
is irrevocable; my sorrow over this
surrender of so great a trust Is
imrneasurable." !"
A native OF Gibbsboro, N. j., the
54.year-oid headmaster was a grad
uate of the Episcopal Academy in
Philadelphia, the University Of
Pennsylvania and the Berkeley
Divinity School. He served as
private in the Marine Corps in 1917
