Louis never forgot that de-

produced a Louis who was like
a big lean copper spring, ready
to unwind in a second, with a
kick like a mule. Schmeling hit
that spring only once during
the entire fight. 1t was Louis
turn to do the hitting and Max
hit the floor four times before
the fight ended as Mas settled

State Delegates Study 6. 0.P. Group 10 Fight
Plan for Montgomery Bond Limit Boost for
School Board Election Sanitary Commission
BY Stoff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 1O.-Mem-
bers of the House Judiciary Com
mittee today were reviewing op-
posing arguments over bill pro-
viding for nonpartisan election of
the Montgomery County School
Board, now appointed by the Gov
ernor.
Supporters of the measure ar
gued yesterday it would take the
board out of politics while the op-
ponents, led by DR.. Thomas G.
Pullen. .jr., State superintendent
of schools, insisted just as strongly
it would result in more politics
and cause unrest among teach
erS.
Spokesman for the proeleetion
group was Nathan R. Gilbert,
president of the Montgomery
County Council of Parent Teacher
Associations. -.~~
Two years ago, he recalled, his
organization ordered a study by
special committee to determine
IF we had the best kind OF a
school board"
The committee recommended a
nonpartisan elected board and its
findings were Overwhelmingly"
indorsed by the local Parent
Teacher groups, Mr.. Gilbert told
the committee.
Similar action was taken by the
County Civic Federation and the
League of Women Voters, he
added.
Others speaking for the DILL in
cluded Mrs. John Scharf. repre-
senting the League OF Women
Voters; Mrs. David Stove. a men,
ber of the el-t-Teacher Coun-
Gil, and j. Henry Hiser, president
of the County League for Cur
riculum Improvement. Mr.. Hiser
emphasized, however, he was
speaking as an individual
DR.. Pullen, while asserting he
was in theoretical agreement
with the bill, urged the commit
tee to view the question on a
Statewide BASIS

Senate Group Votes TO Delay
Congress Budget Estimate
By the Associated Press

The Senate Appropriations
Committee yesterday approved a
proposal to delay congressional
budget estimates from February
IS to May /.
An 8-to-4 vote in the committee
sent the House-approved measure
on to the Senate. Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio had blocked
action there Tuesday because the
proposal had not been passed on
by the Appropriations Committee.
The congressional budget was
set up under the Reorganization
Act that streamlined House and
Senate committees. Congress was
to make it's own estimates of Gov
ernment expenditures and reve-
nues for the ensuing fiscal year by
each February Is.
In theory these congressional
estimates were to serve as overall
goals for appropriations and taxes,
but in 1947 the Senate and House
were unable to agree. Last year
there was compromise but 1t
failed to control later congress
sional action.

Upton Street Residents Hill
Shift Of Van Ness Bus Route

More than 30 residents of the
5000 and 3700 blocks of Upton
street NV. appeared before the
Public Utilities Commission today
to protest petition that would
send the H-2 cross-town busline
past their homes.
The busline, which now follows
Van Ness street, would be shifted
one block south to Upton street
between Thirty-eighth street and
Reno road NV.
At an earlier hearing several
weeks ago Van Ness street resi-
dents sought the change and also
requested restoration of parking
to both sides of Van Ness street.
Today's informal hearing was
scheduled by the PUG after dis
senting Upton street property own
ers contended they did not have
sufficient notice of the first ses-
sion.
Mr.. James L. Houghteling
president of the board of the
Washington Home for Incurables,
1920 Upton street NV, said use
of Upton street by the H-2 buses
would upset and disturb the ITS
very sick" patients at the home.
Thomas S. Settle. secretary of
the National Capital Parks. 3700
block of Van Ness street, differed
with his neighbors. He told the
PUG rerouting of the busline would
inconvenience persons living on
Van Ness street.
The PUG took the case under
advisement. A

Mr.. Brown, who is custodian OF
thousands of locks and keys in his

shop in the old Washington Audi
torium, has even cracked safes for
the Government. His collection
ranges from large and heavy brass
locks and keys to minute drawer

PBA never discards a lock or
key, despite their age, but has sent
them to Mr.. Browns shop from all
over the country for use in design
ing and building modern locks.
How long does a lock usually
last?" the expert was asked.
Nobody knows exactly, at least
I don't" Mr.. Brown replied. And
thereon hangs tale. Recently he
received one from an agency which
wrote that "this lock has worked
properly for rs years."

gomery County's all-Republican
legislative delegation has served
notice it will fight to the finish
against bill to exempt the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
missions sinking fund and water
bonds from it's IA per cent bonded
debt limit.
The measure was one Of six
affecting the bi-county commits
sion introduced yesterday in the
House by the Prince Georges
County delegation.
Their referral by Speaker c,
Ferdinand Sybert. Democrat. OF
Howard County, to the Ways and
Means Committee, instead Of the
Montgomery and Prince Georges
6slegations. brought q charge OF
bad faith" from Montgomery
delegation Chairman Anders r,
Lofstrand, jr.
A similar exemption bill was
introduced in the 1948 special ses-
sion and referred to the two dele
cations. 1t failed. however, when
the two groups were unable to
agree on it's provisions.
S Million More in Bonds.
Mr.. Lofstrand, explained the
measure would permit the sanitary
commission to issue about S5,O00,-
900 in additional bonds. 1t now Il
limited to issuing bonds up to Il
per cent of the assessable base Of
the sanitary district in Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges.
When Mr.. Lofstrand protested
the speakers action. Mr.. Sybert
replied he was concerned over the
mounting debt of the two coun'
ties and was afraid it might affect
the States credit.
The other five commission bills
would: /. Authorize the commits
sion to issue up to $4,000,000 in
bonds to enlarge the sanitary dis
trict'S water supply.
2. Include a part of the Cabir
John area in the sanitary districts
3. Empower the commission te
borrow up to $4,000 to complete
the Montgomery County incinera-
tor.
4. Fix the salary of the commits
sion chairman at $4,000 a veal
and the salaries of the part-time
members at $4,000 year each.
S. Authorize the commission te
issue 81 100000 in bonds for Storm
and surface drainage systems.
