Home Guard Proposal
Is Studied by Army

The Army's National Guard Bu-
reau is studying whether it would
be feasible to set up an internal
security force, or home guard,
within the framework of the pres
ent guard training system, accord
ing to Mai. Gen. Kenneth F. Cra-
mer. chief of that bureau.
Gen. Cramer said that three
States-Texas, Louisiana and New
York-have set up the framework
of home guard. They are being
formed along Guard lines and are
using National Guard armories
and facilities but are not yet part
of the Guard.
The proposed plan is that of
forming units of men who would
not be available for general COM
bat service in the case of war,
and who would take over the du-
ties generally followed by the Ci-
villain Defense Corps in the last
war.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox recon-
mended the formation of such
units for the District Guard sew
eral months ago.

Arlington Tags
To Be Handled
By Treasurer
Lundberg Transfers
Duties Because of Ia
Collection Involved

Arlington County Manager A. T..
Lundberg announced today that
sale of local motor vehicle licenses
will be handled by the county
treasurer's Office.
The sale has been under Mr..
Lundberg's Office since the tags
became available last Tuesday.
County Treasurer John Locke
Green. however, said the sales
should come under his Office be-
cause it involves the collection of
a tax.
The change in administration
will not affect purchasers, officials
said.
Mr.. Lundberg's announcement
followed a ruling by Common
wealth's Attorney Denman T..
Rucker that the county managers
Office could handle all distribution
details except the actual collec-
ton of the money. Mr.. Green was
not satisfied with this ruling and
asked for clarification.
Mr. Lundberg said today "the
most practical method of ham
ding the sale would be to
maintain the complete operation
IN one Office. therefore the collec-
tion and handling is turned
over to your Office. ."
Mr.. Green had said last week
he could reduce the estimated
$4,000 expense Of distributing
the tags by $4,000. In addition,
he said, the State would pay one
third of the cost.
The State Compensation Board,
however, in authorizing Mr.. Green
to employ eight collectors to sell
the tags. declared. 1T is our un-
derstanding that these collectors
will be compensated entirely from
the revenue derived from the sale
of the automobile tags.
Under the county managers
setup four persons are employed
and five others are paid on a
commission basis. The tags, which
cannot be obtained until a new
State license has been purchased,
are available at seven points in
the county.

Congress Cuts Due to Reduce

mems bills by 10 per cent just
because the District faces a f1nan-
cial emergency, officials said.
Then again, they added, police
men and f1remen who resign from
the force must be refunded all
the money they contributed to the
fund from their salaries while
members of both departments.
When both these obligations are
compared with the fact that pen
sions will total about $2,600,000
in fiscal 1850. it was pointed out,
the $2,500.0o0 just will not cover
the situation.
In addition, the administrators
of the fund found it necessary to
spend 1921 900 this year from next
years funds. That was because
Congress appropriated only $2.-
100000 for 1949. while pensions
will cost the city $2,721 900 this
year.
Policemen, hremen, White House
policemen, Secret Service men
and Park policemen and their
widows and children affected by
the cut total 1.727. Men in these
services who have been with their
organizations Is years and have
reached the age of 55 may retire
with so per cent of their annual
salary.
Widows Of men who die on &c
tive service get this payment. as
do children is years old and
younger.
Those retired men receiving the
payment now include 438 firemen,
624 policemen and Park police
men, 81 White House officers and
IL Secret Service men. There are
53o widows and SO children on
the pension rolls at this time.

Time Of Crisis
By Jerry O'Leory, Jr.

The monthly pension checks re-
ceived by every retired policeman
and fireman and the widows and
children of those who have died
will be cut by 10 per cent begin
ming next July unless Congress
provides the District with new
revenue sources.
Budget officials said this re-
duction is the only solution the
administrators of the Policeman
and Firemen's Retiring Fund
have as a result of congressional
cuts in the Districts 1850 budget.
The Commissioners had asked
S2,900.000 to administer the
fund in the next fiscal year. The
House Appropriations Commit
tee, however, pared the sum to
$2,500, 0,00O-an amount that SIM
ply will not cover the obligations
of the retirement fund.
The 100000 cut is part of the
$5,584,0 the House committee
deleted from the District budget
to balance the total $4,000, 900 de-
ficit. Since defeat of the sales
tax, another $2.500.000 will have
to be sliced from the District
building program to keep the city
out of the red unless Congress
supplies new revenue sources.
There are some obligations the
retiring fund must meet before
a single check can be made out.
officials explained. One obliga-
ton that cannot be avoided or
delayed is that for medical ex-
penses of policemen and flremen.

Maryland Farmers
Told tobacco, Wheat
Crops May Be Curbed

Maryland farmers were told to-
day that acreage allotment and
marketing quotas for tobacco and
wheat soon may be prescribed by
the Federal Government.
Joseph H. Blandford, chairman
of the State Production and Mar
keting Administration. said sup
plies of wheat are fast reaching a
position that will require the Sec
retary of Agriculture to announce
restrictions for the 1850 crop.
Tobacco may reach a quota
position in the next year or two,
Mr.. Blandford said. He pointed
out that the January l. 1949,
carryover of Maryland leaf was
estimated at 100000 pounds as
against a carryover Of $4,000, 900
a year ago.
Production Limited.
Warehouse stocks Of Maryland
tobacco at the beginning OF 1949
were about 100000 pounds,
while the amount withdrawn last
year was estimated at 10000
pounds.
Acreage allotments and market
ing quotas, it was explained. do
not necessarily 60 together. Quo
tas cannot be applied on any crop
until two-thirds of the growers
vote for them in a referendum.
Allotments limit production on
each farm to a stated acreage.
Farmers who plant more than the
prescribed number Of acres lose
their price support privileges.
The PIMA announcement is not
expected to cause any major
change in plans for wheat pro-
duction in Southern Maryland

Federal grading. mandatory
where Government price supports
are in effect, was inaugurated in
Maryland last year after farm
leaders overcame strong opposi-
ton to the grading and support
program.
The opposition stemmed from
growers objections to any form
Of Government restrictions on
acreage or sales. A majority voted
for the grading system in a ref
erendum in the belief that no
acreage allotments or marketing
quotas would be imposed.

BALTIMORE. Mar. 21.-Im-

spectors said. It rated at the bot
tom Of the list last year.
The annual report also criti-
cized the Calvert County jail for
failure to repair holes in the fence
surrounding 1t through which
contraband is smuggled to pris-
oners.
Two-meal System Hit.
Further criticism was also
aimed at the jails in Anne Arun-
del, Calvert, Cecil, Charles, Har-
ford, Howard, Montgomery.
Prince Georges and st. Marys
Counties for continuing to give
inmates only two meals a day.
It recommended that jails cease
purchasing food for prisoners on
a fee system and supply them
with three meals day.
It noted that the Somerset and
Washington County Jails still pay
their jailers on fee basis and
urged that this ancient practice
be replaced with regular salaries.
The report said mo real at
tempt seems to be made to check"
deterioration at the Frederick
County jail. The Jail has become
very dirty, it added, and with in.
creasing population, conditions
are likely to become worse"
Improvement Listed.
The inspectors found three gen.
eral improvements in county jails
during the past year:
l. In no Jail were liquor or
empty bottles found in the quar-
terS.
2. No Jail was found to have
any bedbugs and there was not q
single complaint concerning them.
3. On the whole, the jails were
found to be in a cleaner condi-
ton than formerly.
The report made these other
general recommendations:
/. Appointment of custodial Of.
ficers to manage the jails, there
by separating the care Of prison.
ers from the arresting functions
of the sheriff.
2. Proper segregation Of female
prisoners and juveniles.
8. Establishment Of regional
jails to be used by two or more

that structures be shared by Cal.

Kent, Queen Annes and Caroline
