Women Voters Approve
Proposed Tax Raise For
School Improvement

The Montgomery County League
of Women Voters has gone on
record as favoring increased taxes
to finance new schools and other
new construction.
At it's monthly meeting, held
April % at Indian Spring Country
Club the League voted unanimous
ly in favor of a recommendation
for legislation to the County Coun-
ell which said in part-"Its men,
bers are willing to pay additional
taxes to cover the cost of debt
service for bond issues needed for
capital improvement. We partic-
ularly urge that the Council enact
legislation authorizing a bond
issue sufficient to provide $5,000,-
900 for school construction in the
coming year."
Two other recommendations to
the County Council for its legisla-
tive session were also adopted
unanimously. One was that the
League sponsor a bill providing
for a countrywide library system
to be established by the County
Council. The other, that the
League support the Council in its
survey of countrywide hospital
needs before they act on the Silver

Sherwood Gardens

Each spring the Sherwood Gardens beckon me
To come and view the beauty of its flowers
Azaeas, tulips and wsteria bowers
Close by a white or pink-tipped dogwood tree,
Around whose base pedestal was made
OF varied pansies, blue and gold and red;
Where over all springtme sunshine shed
radiance, which on each flower was laid.
Within this beauteous garden can find
Surcease from toll, repose and peace of mind
No thought Of what the morrow yet may bring,
But to enjoy this loneliness of spring.
Beside the floral feast where I have trod,
My soul is lifted up, brought near to God.

B-29'S::
Direct Hits

The army air force was making
a point for its contention of its
importance as an effective arm in
itself. Four air force B-29's scored
direct hits on nine fighting ships
attacking Kodiak island in the
navy's north Pacific war games.
An airman aboard one of the
bombers said the formation spot
ted the nine ships $50 miles south
east of Kodiak and registered
bombing hits in three runs at TO-
600 feet.
THE SHIPS were part of a navy
task force attempting to retake the
island from a theoretical enemy.
The report was significant from
two standpoints. First, because the
air force termed it important
enough to report. Since that was
done, it was motivated, probably,
by the fact that the air force
wanted to show that it had demon
of land-based planes in an Off
strated the efficacy of the power
shore attack.

INFLATION::
People Curbed 1t

The people, themselves,
claim major credit for the recent
check to national initiation.
That is the conclusion of the fam
flv economics bureau of the North
western National Life Insurance
Company which conducted study
OF the subject.
THE STUDY developed that a
slowdown, halt, or reverse Of SIX
main factors in the rs per cent
rise from pre-war price levels had
been brought about.
It found that as late as last
September, the public still was bid
ding frantically against each other
for more goods than were being
produced in many lines. But in
the final two months of 194S, con-
sumers suddenly quit trying to out
bid each other.
With industrial production in
high gear and comparatively free
from interruptions, output and
available supplies of most consum-
or goods were gaining steadily.
Government bidding for grain In
Europe, which ran grain prices up
70 record heights last year, slowed
down as world grain production
recovered.
THE LONG RISE in wage-costs-
per-unit of goods was slowing down,
the study said.
Continuing its listing of the six
factors, the study reported that
rapid expansion in money supply.
both cash and credit, due to vast
government borrowing, had also
slowed down.
Borrowing by business for ex-
pansion was listed as the sixth fac
tor which was slowed down because
of tightened restrictions.
But the first and foremost cause
of the current price deflation, the
study concludes, has been the halt
in the public's scramble for goods.
BY trimming their demands to fit
within available supplies, the peo-
ple have recaptured some of their
normal control over prices.

in the United States and Great Brit.
ain or other democratic countries.
What have been the results? In
the view of the military govern.
ment:
Observation-Disclosures and
trustworthy German editors
and publishers have established
a solid core of Independent and
democratic newspapers in the
u. S. area of occupation. They
have been encouraged to main
tain their independence and OBJ
jectivity against all attacks
and to resist the encroachmSnt
of government or of other spec
ial interest groups and protect
their right to bring the news Of
Germany and the world to the ,
people of Germany and to COM
ment upon it."
The question that remains, how
ever, is this: when the controls and
the existing regulations are re-
moved, will the Germans graduate
from a nearly free press" which
the Americans have encouraged to
a genuinely free press which Amer
leans consider an essential Of
democracy? Will the Germans,
who for centuries have accepted
control and RECOMMENDATION from
above, be able to start out afresh
and make use of the democratic
techniques to which we have at
tempted to expose them?
That is one kind of ''know-how"
it is hard to pass on.

''Man of the year most pop

Mr.. Truman turned down a sug-
gestion that a special traffic con-
troll be established for his daily
