October a, 1949
Mrs. Elsie White Haines, Editor
The Sentinel
Rockville, Nd.
Dear Mrs. Haines:
In three Of Washington's Daily
Pepers last week noticed articles
describing Bill Of Complaint
which caused to be filed in an
effort to prevent the~sale at Public
Auction of four lots facing the
Colesville Road north of Sligo
Creek Parkway which believe l
own. The County Government is
proceeding to sell these lots at
Public Auction and is alleging that
the County Government owns the
lots.
The Washington Daily Papers
did not, feel, adequately describe
this pending effort to so sell these
lots, in that they only refer to the
obvious fact that the description
of the tax sale under which these
lots were sold in April 1888 for
taxes was an erroneous description
and is contrary to the Statute as
provided for such cases. This parti-
cular claim on our part is based on
the fact that although these were
and had been sub-divided lots for a
number of years prior to the tax
sale, the advertisement only re-
ferred to an original deed whereby
some ninety acres of unsubdivided
land had been transferred.
The harsh part of this situation
appears to me to be that while
these four lots were so enormously
or inadequately sold for total of
about $102.81 in taxes in 1888, the
County then continued to accept
subsequent taxes from three sub
sequent owners of record for the
next seven years, although two of
those owners appeared at the
County Treasurer's Office and paid
what they were there advised were
all back taxes outstanding against
these lots.
The County is now advertising
the lots for sale as County prop
erty, although they never took pos
session of the lots or foreclosed the
right of redemption against any
of the owners.
The County is also demanding
$6o1.03 as their dollar or lien in
terest in these lots, which rep
resents the statutory interest
penalties, advertising costs, etc. Of
the 1888 $4,000 tax sale which
was both an erroneous sale and one
that the County Officials them
selves apparently overlooked.
The present County Government
has refused several times during
the past six months as matter OF
record to accept this $601.03 from
us, which total includes nearly
$4,000 interest and penalties
Were this real estate transaction
or a relationship between private
individuals, it would appear to fall
in what in newspaper parlance is
called a hidden" charge.
The County Council has also re-
Gently passed a law whereby they
have denied themselves the juris-
diction to accept all the taxes due
together with all penalties and in
terest, for any tax sold property
Their new law further requires
them to offer all such property al
public auction and they have al
legged in their new law that tho
County is the owner of all such
properties.
Such has never been the custom
in any part of Maryland. l have
never heard of this being the Gus
tom in any other part of the Unit.

Such governmental action is Sc

NEW YORK-Another Fourth
of July has passed-The Declar-
alton of Independence, we say.
But is it, or was it, or shall it
ever be? You answer, then I'll
comment as a liberal" Yes, al
Liberal, whether it be termed Of
a political party or not.
With these swimming pool Or
recreation outbursts in D. C. and
St Louis, Mo. still not cleared
up we are wondering where is
independence. We're led to think
of such song as Heaven, Hea-
ven, When / Get to Heaven, I'm
Going to Shout All Over Gods
Heaven"
And it seems as if some folk
still want to say, Heaven Is
Way Up Yonder"- where is
yonder? Just remember that Hea-
iven is freedom. Whenever it
gets here, then we will shout all
over Gods Heaven (conutry)
together. We will then say that
we enjoy freedom of religion,
freedom of speech, freedom of
the press and freedom of what
ever else there is. Until then
we might as well thing of the
opposite to heaven, for hose who
always want to crush the min
GRITTY groups.
There ae many things today
that need checking when it comes
to the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. For instance, the Anti
Lynching Bill, the Civil Rights
Program, the Poll Tax, etc. Such
must continuously be checked
on through organizations. What
are the intelligensia doig today
toward such great national poll
tical issues?
What sorority or fraternity has

Believe It-or Not

There Is at least one lesson which might
be learned from the investigation by
House committee of intimations that there
has been something venal about the B-36
procurement program.
Three months ago Representative Van
Zandt, Republican, of Pennsylvania told of
"ugly rumors" which had come to his
attention concerning the B36. The effect
of these rumors was to bring into question
the integrity of men like Secretary of
Defense johnson and Secretary Of Air
Symington. But Mr.. Van Zandt said the
information had come to him from sources
cannot ignore" and so the investigation
was started.
There was not particle of truth to the
charges. The sources which impressed Mr..
! Van Zandt turn out to have been New
. York gossip column and an anonymous
, letter, whose author, it Is now revealed,
was Cedric r. Worth, special assistant to
the Undersecretary Of the Navy. Brought
. to the witness stand, Mr.. Worth was
obliged to eat his charges because he had
mot the slightest evidence to support any
.of them.
/ Except for further investigation, which
sshould be pressed with vigor, to fnd out
whether any one else in the Navy was
.mixed up in this discreditable business,
THE B-3e investigation, or at least this
.phase of 1t, is over. The books should not
.be closed, however, without drawing atten-
.tion to one thing.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the B-3e episode except It's fragrant char
:acter. Similar things have happened be-
fore and will happen again, for there are

Inferior "Superiors" Blamed
For Veterans Administration Faults
To the Editor Of The Star:
Having been an employe of the Veterans
Administration perhaps I can answer the
plea of j. N. Edmondston. whose letter crltl-
cising the administration was printed Au-
gust 13.
I firmly believe the trouble lies to great
extent in the policy Of this administrator
in undertaking its employees from one TO
three grades lower. for the same type OF
work. than other Government bureaus 90.
This really is false economy. as the employees
with ability transfer out of the agency at
the earliest opportunity. The terrific turn
over in the Veterans Administration must
cost the taxpayers plenty, and it is almost
an impossibility to have other than utter
confusion in many Of its services.
During the last war the supervisory posi-
tions were filled and are still for the most
part held by persons who had no qualifica-
ton for the positions but years OF service.
They are much more interested IN the min
ute hand of the clock, a comma In letter
than they are in giving praise for work well
done.
It appears that reorganization OF the
Veterans Administration is necessity. re-
placing petty, inferior "superiors" with EN-
cient personnel. Until this happens. there
are only two requirements necessary for its
emlpoyes-strong stomachs and weak minds.
