Pollution Warning Signs
Asked for Sligo Creek

The Montgomery County Health
Department today asked that
pollution warning signs be posted
along that portion of Sligo Creek
which runs through the Sligo
Park Hills area.
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, asked the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission to
post the signs in the Hartford
avenue area, where there is
temporary sewer outlet, and as
for down stream as test of the
water indicates pollution.
He said, however, he believes
there is a relatively small health
hazard involved at this time.
The Sligo Park Hills Citizens

a campaign for the last six weeks
to remedy the sewage overflow.
The Sanitary Commission has an
nounced plans to construct new
sewer.

$50 at Hearing Back
S3,O65,OOO Budget for
Schools in Arlington

A record $3,O65 900 Arlington
school budget which would require
the revenue produced by $1.91 of
the current $3.25 county tax rate
was given unanimous approval last
night by some $50 persons at a
public hearing.
The proposal, an increase of
$827,156 over the current year, was
explained by the school board and
school administrative officials at a
meeting in the Thomas Jefferson
Junior High School. The budget
which must be finally approved by
the county governing body, was
presented to the school board by
Acting Supt. Charles j. Walsh.
The audience not only approved
the budget suggested by Mr.. Walsh
but, by show of hands, indicated
it favored budget 1885, 900
greater. This was brought out
when Board Chairman Barnard
Joy asked which of five figures the
group favored.
Conference Requested.
Robert Cox, chairman of the
Arlington Civic Federation's Rev.
enue and Expenditures Committee,
asked:
What indication have you had
from the county board as to the
chances of getting the increased
budget approved?"
Mr.. Joy replied that the school
group had requested a conference
with the county board over the
budget but that 80 far" it had
been denied them.
Informed of the action taken
last night, County Board Member
Danial A. Dugan said today he
will propose at Saturdays meeting
that the County Board hold con-
ference with the School Board on
budget matters. Mr.. Dugan said
he had not favored holding the
conference until after last nights
hearing.
Hearing Set March "a.
The school board budget also
will be considered with the county
budget at joint hearing of the
school and county boards March
"a. After a similar hearing last
year the county board refused to
grant the full appropriation re-
quested by school authorities.
When Mr.. Joy last night asked
what priority should be given bud
get items if the county board re-
fused again to give the full amount
requested. Mrs. Carolyn E. Planck
declared that school officials
should not admit that possibility.
She called on county school sup
porters to go to the March "a
hearing and fight for the budget.
Mrs. Planck and other speakers
suggested that individuals and
groups let the county board know
before the hearing that they want
che schools given the requested
amount.
The current budget requires the
revenue from about $1.41 of the
tax rate.

these officials is that, in Wash

man to starve to death.
Other cities have faced the
problem. In States where there
are large industrial centers, with
an accompanying unstable en-
ployment situation, more or less
adequate funds have been set
aside to handle the situation as
it arises. Michigan, for example,
spent $2.29 per inhabitant for

There are no funds available
here which could be used for
unemployment relief,
much less the means to care for
a permanent group of unemployed.
The machinery exists in the Board
of Public Welfare, which has the
legal authority to grant any aid
that might be needed. But with
a higher per capita income than
II other States, there isn't enough
available to the District
Government to do an adequate job

Z County Leaders Ask
Defeat Of 4 State Bills
On Park Commission
Star Staff Photo.
BY q S.or Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 24.-An ap-
peal by two top-ranking Mont
gomery County Democrats for the
defeat of four proposed bills
which would transfer many of the
functions of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission to the Montgomery
County Council was before State
legislators today.
The appeal was contained in
letters sent each delegate by E.
Brooke Lee. vice chairman of the
commission, and j. Bond Smith,
it's general counsel.
Mr.. Lee long has dominated the
county Democratic organization
while Mr.. Smith is chairman of
the county's Democratic State
Central Committee.
Their request was described i'm
mediately by members of the all
Republican Montgomery delega-
ton as "the most vicious and mis-
leading statement which has ever
been sent by any partisan poll
tician to this legislative body"
Hearing Set Tomorrow.
A public hearing on the bills
will be held at 1880 am. tomor-
row before the House Ways and
NFaapc TorYoroittoo
In their letters, Mr.. Lee and
Mr.. Smith charged that the pro-
posed legislation was intended to
destroy" the planning commits
sion and would have harmful
effects on the future development
of SECTIONS of Maryland adjacent
to Washington.
Attached to each letter was a
clipping of an editorial which ap-
peared in The Star last week op-
posing the bills.
Declaring the bulsare Sandesir-
able from a public standpoint"
the two men warned the pro-
posals, if approved, would jeop-
ardize the orderly bi-county re-
gional planning and development
of the whole greater Washington
area" The commission has juris-
diction over suburban areas in
both Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties.
In reply, Montgomery Delegates
John R. Reeves and R. Duncan
Clark insisted the bills would have
no effect on "the original func-
tions of the commission as a park
acquisition and park administra-
tive agency and its ability to CO.
operate generally with the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission in plans for the
Maryland Washington metropoli-
tan district
Recommended by BrOOkingS.
They contended the letters
disregard entirely the fact that
the proposed bills are the exact
legislation recommended by the
BrookingS Institution in its i'm
partial study of the Montgomery
County government in 1941."
Recalling that when the COM
mission was set up in 1927 it had
no authority over building and
electrical inspection and subdivi-
sion planning. the two delegates
said:
"It was only when the charter
movement gained strength and
Mr.. Lee thought he might

legislators in Annapolis put
through the necessary bills to
transfer the functions to the Park
and Planning Commission.

the two delegates, is home rule"

tions which had been removed to

Another bill to be introduced
today by Senator Goldstein would
require Maryland fire insurance
companies to set up a compen-

Senator Goldstein pointed out
that volunteer firemen save mil

year.
2 Prince Georges Bills Pass.
Two other bills to be introduced
today by the Senator would:

PHS MUSICIANS PREPARE FOR ANNUAL CONCERT

Tootlers in the Palmer High School Band were brushing up on their arpeggios this week in final preparation for concert to , be held in the Palmer Gym next Saturday evening. The school band and chorus are joining forces for the evening, band lead CT Paul Bushong announced. An estimated 90 students will par ticipate in the musical entertain ment.
 Tickets for the evening will be on sale this weekend, by student band members. They also will be sold at the door son the eve- ming of the concert.
 Concert proceeds will be ap- piled toward the purchase of uniforms. The band now has a bank account that adds up to just 10 per cent of the total needed. MT. Bushong, faced with the problem of buying a tenth of uniform for each musician or uniforming 10 per cent of the en- tire band, has decided it's easier to try for more money. Since the band keeps growing each year, thereby making the neces- sary fund greater, it may take decade or two to accumulate the necessary funds. Anyway, it gives the band leader and his mu-~ slcians an excuse for an annual concert. ..1. es..

'''Wotta Team Court Fans Gasp

Nobody died of a heart attack at the Palmer-Anchorage basket ball game on the local court last Saturday evening, but that's only because no one in the audience had a weak heart. There wasn't a person in the 800 plus crowd of spectators that didn't feel the 37-35 Anchorage win was as spectacular a basketball show as any ever seen on the local floor.
 Palmer's court five took the floor with the grim determina- tion to win or to give Anchorage the battle of it's basketball life in the attempt. They did just that. The local men dominated the play for the entire first half, relinquishing the lead only once during that entire period. Just four minutes before the end of the first half, Anchorage's Fred Richards sank a foul shot to put the Eagles in the lead for the first time during the game.
 The Palmer men bounced right back, using the four minutes that remained to them to build a 25- 20 half-time lead.
 The local men came back at half-time. knowing they'd had a battle on their hands, but that the fight that was ahead would be even tougher. In their over-eag- erness they tried a bit too hard at times, and the smooth-working Anchorage five was alert to snatch at every opportunity to score. Several time in the fourth quarter, the Eagles capitalized on Palmer miscues to build their lead to the longest of the game up to the final three minutes.

 MT. King explained that he op- ened the garage in self-defense, since he seemed to spend a good many hours in garage work any way. Alfred Church, a Butte res- ident, is the mechanic on duty at the station.
 The new station, which was built of blocks in a record 30 days, carries a complete stock of parts and offers 24-hour service. The station has been open for business for the. past week,
