Prince Georges Board
Told Some Aid Funds
Are Spent for Liquor

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners today are studying
charge that some recipients OF
county welfare money are spend
ing it on liquor rather than on
food. clothing and medicine.
The charge was made yesterday
by c. Norris Hartman of Suitland
a. member of the county's Welfare
Board. Describing such alleged
misuse" of welfare funds, Mr.
Hartman reported: "They take
the cash and spend it for liquor"
Asserting the practice is lex
tensive" within the county, Mr.
Hartman recommended the COM
missioners consider a proposal tc
issue certificates for individual
needs of INDECENT persons rather
than checks. The certificates, he
suggested, should be designated
specifically for food. clothing
medicine or whatever need is
required.
Urges Discussion Today.
Mr.. Hartman urged the COM
missioners to discuss the matter
this afternoon at the State House
in Annapolis, when they will con-
fer with county and State welfare
officials and members Of the
county's delegation to the Legis-
lature.
The commissioners reported
they would take the certificate
suggestion under advisement.

School Board Asks OK
To Push Plans for
Alexandra Addition

The Alexandria School Board
last night asked permission to &C
ahead with plans for an addition
to the Mount Vernon School while
negotiations still are in progress
to acquire a road to replace Mount
Ida avenue, which the addition
would block.
Board members said the addi-
ton was the only item in the
building program that has been
completely held up. They said
they did not believe it necessary
to hold up plans while the City
Council seeks an alternate route
for one block of Mount Ida ave-
nue. which the addition would be
built across.
While the School Board was
meeting. the City Council also
was in session and again referred
the problem of an alternate route
for Mount Ida avenue to its
Finance Committee. Five months
ago a Board of Viewers was
named by the Council. The view
ers first advised that closing the
street would hurt business on
Mount Vernon avenue by blocking
an access route. School Board
members replied that the portion
of Mount Ida already was closed
for part of the day for playground
purposes.
Clinic Dispute Settled.
The viewers surveyed the
area and then made a recon-
mendation to close Mount Ida
provided an alternate access route
to Mount Vernon avenue were
provided. The Councils Finance
Committee since has been seeking
land for an alternate route.
A dispute between the Alexan-
dria Mental Hygiene Clinic and
the Alexandria Alcoholic Clinic
was settled at the council meeting
by Severing the alcoholic group
from the Family Service Society
Inc. which governed both agencies
Alcoholics Anonymous. which
operates the alcoholic clinic. had
Joined the Family Service Society
to benefit by matching State and
Federal funds for mental rehabili-
tation work. The Rev. o. V. T.
Chamberlin of the alcoholic group
said the clinic wanted the services
of rehabilitated alcoholic, while
the mental hygiene society said the
State required the service of a
psychiatric social worker.
Appropriations Voted.
The Rev. William Basom of the
Family Service Society said his
group had welcomed Alcoholics
Anonymous and had hoped it
could cooperate with the mental
hygiene group so both clinics could
benefit by the State funds. There
is no provision for funds to match
payment of any one other than a
trained psychiatric social worker,
he explained.
The council agreed to a $4,000
appropriation remaining in the
budget for the alcoholic group and
also a $4,000 appropriation for the
mental hygiene group.
In becoming an independent
agency, the alcoholic group will
not receive State or Federal aid
Mr.. Chamberlin said he did not
believe $2,500 would be sufficient
to operate the clinic for a full year

Virginia Lawmakers
Get Letters Of Protest
On Removal Of Hall
BY the Assoeioted Press

R1CH.MOND, rep. S.-SeVerdl
members of the General Assembly
have received a letter bearing the
mimeographed signature of John
Hopkins Hall, jr., in which they
were asked to protest to the Gov
ernor my enforced retirement as
commissioner of labor
The letters. on stationery of the
Department of Labor and Indus
try. came when Gov. Tuck's reor-
ganization staff filed yesterday a
report recommending major in
ternal changes to overcome what
was termed "haphazard' admins
trative practices in the DEPART
ment. .ssa
Mr.. Hall was not available Tor
comment this morning. but the
letter. written to the Richmond
legislative delegation. said it was
aimed at "a great deal of mis-
understanding and accusations
> which I feel impelled to clear
up in the minds of my many
friends in the General Assembly.
Misinformation Charged?
The letter charged that Griffen-
hagen detectives members of a
Chicago firm which prepared the
Governors reorganization pro-
gram) had greatly misinformed
the Governor. Two "disgruntled
women employees" carried misin-
formation regarding activities Of
the department to the reorganiza-
ton staff, the letter charged.
(Mrs. Rose Mcmahon. former
director of the Division of
women and Children. has said
she was fired by Mr.. Hall.
She said her dismissal came
because she refused to put up
with his alleged "unscrupulous"
administrative practicesD
The Governor previously has in
dicated he himself reached the
decision to ask for Mr.. Halls
resignation and that he had given
full consideration to the case. Mr.
Halls retirement becomes effective
February l..
Details Held Lacking.
The reorganization report came
from Charles j. Duke, jr.. who said
it was impossible to cite prospec-
tive savings or costs because the
administration of the department
has been haphazard tc degree
that the necessary information is
not available"
The report charged. in part:
20. The commissioner has
granted little real authority to his
division chiefs. Moreover, he has
not only circumscribed their au-
thority, but, in some instances, he
has circumvented what little au-
thority he has given them, inter-
fering with the operations OF the
divisions -. In the light of these
limitations, it is difficult to deter
mine the extent to which certain
division chiefs are responsible for
the inadequate results OF their
divisions"
The report said that. the present
head of the Apprenticeship Divi-
sion, j. Fred Kirchner of Alexan-
dria, was selected by Mr.. Hall "and
advanced from factory inspector,
VII, at an annual salary of $2,832,
to executive with a present salary
of $5,400 without the approval of
the Virginia Apprenticeship Coun-
cil." The report said this was done
in the face of strong opposition
from certain members Of the
council

GREEN DENOUNCES
TAFT-HARTLEY ACT

President William Green made
history last week when he faced
Senator Taft and the other members
OF the Senate Labor Committee TO
champion labor's case against the
vicious TAFT Hartley Act. In a
packed hearing Dom on Capitol
Hill. the Committee grilled the Afl.
President for a day and a hall. After
accusing the authors Of the TIL
Act OF making unrealistic "acadl
mic" assumption about labor, Green
took the act apart section by section
citing his own personal experiences
over the last hall century with arbi-
trary court injunctions, with the
black list and company strike break
ers in the days before the Norris
l.aGuardia and the Wagner Acts.
The Tait-Hartley Act set labor
back 20 years in its tight Tor Tree
dom. Green pointed out that while
unions can be sued Tor wildcat
strikes they are expressly forbidden
by the act from exercising discip-
linarv power over their members
that can't even exclude communist
saboteurs. In time OF recessions
with mass unemployment the NIKE
ruling that only strike breakers car
vote i'll a representation election
would be enough to break any unior
i'll the country.
In response to Green's statemen
that workers have been taught iol
one hall century that l have tht
right to sell my labor at the bes
terms | can get, Senator TAFT VIII
belongs to the c%ountry's stronges

ment that Green was demanding "tla
most extraordinary special privilee'

that workers should compensate TO
