to fishing, boating and SWIM

Basil Wells of the Cypress Creek
Association declared the bill in

Gilbert Moore, secretary of the

close the Magothy there's right
to close all the tributaries around
the bay"
Nolan Chapman, representing
the Arnold chapter of the Citizens

when sident Truman
shocked so many sensitive souls
by a lapse from his accustomed
diction and dignity. he was just
being guilty of fairly common

"Our Chief Executive is not

dignity that becomes his high sta

grettable.
But if it marks a return to
straight thinking and talking in
the White House, Americans
should be able to forgive a little
vehemence from one whose known
kindness and consideration for
others makes it evidently a slip
of the tongue, not a hardening Of

Lane said yesterday he will ask
the General Assembly for enough
money to plan a special hospital
for defective delinquents.
His commission on medico-legal

A Department of Correction

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. A. Sport
and commercial fishermen dis
agreed yesterday on the need for
fish conservation in the Magothy
River.
Sport fishermen and real estate
representatives aligned themselves
in favor of a bill to close the
Magothy and it's tributaries to all
net fishing.
They claimed at a hearing be-
fore the House Chesapeake Bay
and Tributaries Committee that
the bill was in the interest of con-
servation.
SpokeSmen for commercial wa
termen denied such conservation
was necessary. They quoted from
Department of Tidewater Fish
cries studies to show the catch
in the Magothy is increasing
rather than being depleted as de-
scribed by the bill proponents.
David H. Wallace, director of
the department, said the State
agency believes it is not necessary
to go beyond definitely defining
spawning areas.
Edward S. Cochran, president
of the Magothy River Association,
said netting had caused "a serious

10c Tax Rise SOUGHT
In Fairfax 10 Obtain
$4,000 for Schools

The Fairfax County School
Board last night requested a 10
cent tax rate increase as a last
resort for raising $50,000 for
emergency school construction.
Action was taken at a special
meeting called to reconsider the
budget. The county Board of Su-
pervisors refused Wednesday to
grant an outright appropriation
from the general county fund to
the schools for the coming fiscal
year.
The school board decided to
present its budget to the super
visors in the same form that it
was presented Wednesday, and
again request appropriation of
$4,000 from general county
funds, or from Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board funds received an
nually from the State.
Part of S2,506,O48 Budget.
Should the supervisors find it
impossible to grant the $4,000,
the school board proposed an in
crease from Is cents to 35 cents
in the schools capital outlay and
debt service fund.
The supervisors told scnool Of
fcials Wednesday they could not
spare the $50,000 from the gen.
eral fund or from kBC receipts.
unless the county's general tax
levy is raised 10 cents. The super
visors indicated they would rather
see the tax increase in the school
levy than in the county levy be-
cause the additional revenue
would be used for school purposes.
The S50.000 sought is part of the
S2.506.048 school budget for
l949-50.
Present Rate S3.19.
At present. the total county
tax rate is $3.19 per S100 of as
sessed valuation, of which $40
is the school operating levy and
Is cents the school capital out
lay and debt service fund.
Schools officials were told by
county authorities more money
could be raised by increasing the
school tax 10 cents because county
taxation for school purposes this
year includes the city of Falls
Church, while the general county
levy no longer includes that city
The supervisors will have the final
say in fixing the tax rate.
