LONDON, Mar. 31.-Britain dis
closed today that it plans to loan
Russia $4,000, 900 (s36 ,000,000) for
purchase of military supplies
from Britain in the next IL
months.
The disclosure came in budget
estimates presented to the House
of Common.
The advance to Russia. the esti-
mates said, was for "non-military
supplies under wartime arrange
ments for which final contracts
are being concluded"
A treasury spokesman said he
believed the Russian advance is
connected with a 1941 agreement
with Russia for non-military sup
plies.
The Russian figure was listed in
the budget estimates under the
general heading of supply. food

The town of Rockville received
the commentator of the County's

successful efforts in improving

of closing an unsanitary apartment
on Middle Lane.
The proposed County regulations

discussed by the Advisory Health

These are in the hands of the
County Attorney along with other
proposed health legislation.
Among other questions discussed
by the Committee at this meeting
were the application of sodium
fluoride on the teeth of school
children. the establishment of a
Cancer Detection Center at Subur-

the Health Departments sanitation
services, financing of the Medical

said-"I think it is time someone
did"
About that time STATE, the
voice of North Carolina, came out
with an editorial headed "Too
Many Bathing Girls" The editor
iel ran:
"We don't know how you feel
about it, but to our way of think
ing, most of the newspapers are
overriding this business of playing
w pictures of bathing girls. 1t is
seldom you can pick up an issue
during the summer, without finding
pictures of at least two or three
girls. all of them 0rinning like
Cheshire cats, and all of them in
bathing suits.
A moderate amount of chess
cake is all right. We have pub
lished bathing girl pictures from
time to time, but we don't mind
saying we are fed up with this
never-ending display of legs and
curves. We are tired of gazing
at the smiling features of Miss
Sleepy Hollow, Miss Green Swamp,
and Miss Bats Crossroads. It is
getting so that the picture of a
goat at the city dump, farmer
blowing a mule down a row of
cotton, or a COW wading through
stream has much stronger appeal
so far as we are personally con-
cerned, than the picture of girl
in bathing suit.
"Maybe we're getting old, or
something, but our opinion is that
many of our readers feel the same
way about it."
Now don't get us wrong-there
are times when a bathing suit car
ries out the theme effectively and
beautifully, even fifty miles from
water-for example, at the Cal
thersburg Labor Day parade a
rescue squad has bathing girl
perched on a boat-another float
carried Miss Maryland, both were
appropriate and charming. It is
this wholesale herding of bathing
suited girls into the spotlight and
judging them like animals that is
Objectionable in the opinion of
many. What do you think?

Reports On Trip

Mylo S. Downey, State Boys
All Club Leader, returned to his
office at the University of Mary
land on Monday October "a after
snending four months in Greece.
He had been sent to Athens by the
Economic Cooperation Administra-
ton to help develop a program for
older Greek youths along the lines
Of the All Club.
There's a great deal to be done
there" he reports, "since so many
boys and girls are able to get only
an elementary school education.
They receive very little training
in agriculture and home economics,
and have little chance to enjoy
recreation"
Mr.. Downey explained that most
farms average 71a acres, and are
divided into many plots. The bows
and girls must work with what the
family already owns rather than
buy their own calls or pigs for
project work. and everything must
go into the family larder.
Girls groups are just beginning
to be organized. Since Greek boys
and girls do not associate with one
another in the same groups after
IL years of age, they must form
their own clubs. The girls go to
a community center for regular
training in home economics, rather
than meet in various homes as do
their American counterparts.
Mr.. Downey found that almost
all of the Greeks he met are very
grateful to the United States for
its help through the Marshall Plan
and the ECA and that many had
been to America at one time during
their lives.

had Southern fried chicken for

'If those girls could have heard
the comments from the sidelines,"
one woman remarked. 1.-TWO men

who uses English in an idiomatic
manner at times-"T got so dis

OF the comments.
The editor did not feel that she
could write such a column at that
time. Some of the girls who were
to compete in the Miss Montgom-
cry County contest at the Fire
mems Annual Convention, had
been chosen. No change could be
made in midsummer. But we pro-
missed to bring their opinions to
the attention of the volunteer fire
companies after the season closed

the winter-perhaps they can come
up with some new plan for the
beauty contests which they spon-
sor.

Hoping For Better

The Richard Montgomery foot
ball team hopes to fare better than
they did against Frederick when
they take on National Training
School this Friday at 2:30 on the
Rockets field.
Both schools have identical sea-
son records, each having dropped
three and having won only one.
Although the Training School boys
were victorious last week, beating
Woodward 1877, they lost three
first string players by injuries.
With those men back in the game,
the NTS coach has no fear about
the outcome of the game.
The Rockets hope an off date
last week will give them sufficient
rest to return to the form they
showed against Herndon.
Band, baton twirlers, and cheer
leaders will as usual add pep and
color to the game.

NewboId Morris Sought Aid
OF Costello, Lawyer Says
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Frank
Costello's lawyer today quoted the
gambler as saying that Newbold
Morris, candidate for mayor, had
tried to get Costello's help in his
campaign.
The lawyer, George Wolf, said
Costello spoke to him by telephone
from Hot Springs. Ark.
Mr.. Morris called Costello's
statement "a tissue of lies" and
a sign his political opponents were
"panic-stricken and cropping for
straws."
Mr.. Wolf said the gambler and
onetime bootlegger was moved to
disclose the alleged overtures by
Mr.. Morris because he was Gin
censed" over Mr.. Morris attacks
on him.
Mr.. Morris, Republican-Liberal-
Fusion candidate for mayor
against Democratic Mayor Will
liam O'Dwyer, repeatedly has
charged that Costello influences
the O'Dwyer administration.
