Movie To Feature
Children's Hour
Inside Tibet" A Movie Taken
BY An Army Officer, VIII Be
Shown Saturday Morning At
Museum - Admission Is Free
For Children And Parents.

Still correlating to the overall sub
ject, Little Known Places and
People," an important movie, TN
side Tibet" will be the feature of
the regular Saturday Story Hour
for Children at the Washington
County Museum of Fine Arts in the
City Park on October 7, from 10 a.
m. to 11:30 a. m.
Following the movie, materials
will be given to the children for a
period of experimenting in paint,
clay, and crayons. All girls and
boys of Hagerstown and Washing
ton County are welcome, together
with their parents and teachers, to
the capacity of the downstairs lee
ture room. There IS no admission
charge for the movie and the ma
terials for creative work are sup
piled by the Museum.
In 1912 two U. S. Army officers
were sent by President Roosevelt
with a secret message to then 10
year-old Dalai Lama, religious and
civil head of Tibet, the Medieval,
mountain locked country that is be-
coming more and more prominent in
the headlines. Besides carrying a
message to the ruler of Tibet from
our President, these two officers
were on o. S. S. mission; that of
exploring a new India-China route
to replace the Burma Road.
Colonel lila Tolstoy, who was the
leader of the tiny tWo-man mission,
was also director camera
man of this Tibetan documentary
film that has now been released to
him for public showings, by the
United States War Department The
men travelled six months and 1900
miles to find the answers to such
questions as: could the precipitous
blizzard swept, bandit infested
mountain passes support military
supply vehicles? were Tibetans
friendly to the japanese? did they
have an army? how and on what
did Tibetans live;
Whatever the answers, the film
shows that the Tibetans live in the
days of Marco Polo-they till the
soil, herd the yaks, practice re-
ligion, support culture that is al
Eastern and all medieval. It's
soldiers wear chain armor, but its
architects have mastered the prin-
ciple of the suspension bridge anc
the skyscraper; Its weavers anc
lapidaries produce textiles anc
jewelry of great beauty; its boy
ruler, the Dalai Lama, is revered BY
all; its people, strong and healthy
live simple friendly lives.

School Board 10 PAY
For Warehouse With
Arlington Bond Funds

The Arlington School Board yes-
terday announced that it will pay
for It's new three-story warehouse
with bond issue funds rather than
from operating revenues.
County Treasurer John Locke
Green refused earlier this week
to honor a warrant for $138,O37
In payment for the property.
He charged that the school
board lacks authority to agree to
assume mortgage on the balance
OF the total purchase price,
$299, ,750.
Says Approval Is Needed.
MIR. Green also asserted that the
school board had not secured the
approval of the County Board,
which he said was required be-
cause the purchase is not included
in the current budget.
The warehouse, at 1926 North
Quincy street, will be used by the
board for administrative Offices
vocational shops, storage and
other purposes.
School Board Member Bernard
Joy said that 1t may be possible
when surplus revenues are totaled
to reimburse the bond issue fund
Calls Payment Legal.
Supt. William A. Early said he
has been assured that the new
method of payment is entirely
legal"
Mr.. Early reported he had been
informed by the boards attorneys
that County Board approval OF
the purchase was not necessary.

On Report Critical Of

Members of the Arlington Coun-

ment on a 17-page report of its
Police Investigation Committee.
The report, highly critical of
County Manager A. T. Lundberg,
and of police operations generally,

terday at the completion Of a four
months study.
Neither Mr.. Lundberg, nor two
high-ranking police officers who

any comment. The latter were
Police Chief Harry L. woodward
and Detective Chief c. Burns
Presley.
Training Program Urged.
In a letter of transmittal, Com
mission Members E. j. Stegar,
chairman, and Joseph Leib and
Vic Gauzza. jr, stressed the
urgent necessity for an under
standable and comprehensive
training program" for improve
ment of the department.

ington boulevard, is a longtime
county resident; Mr.. Leib, who
lives at 3408 North Fourth street,

fessional municipal consulting
firm, which declared the depart

fected the police department over

Virginia S Assembly
Urged TO Employ Own
Financial Experts
BY the Asseeioted Press

RICHMOND, Sept. 9.-Delegate
Robert Whitehead proposed today
that the General Assembly en-
ploy its own financial experts as
means of getting better esti-
mates Of State revenues than the
executive branch of the Govern
ment has been providing.
what the assembly needs is an
expert staff of It's own, not sub
ject to appointment or control, to
assist it in getting the facts" said
the Nelson County delegate who
Is a potential anti-organiza tion
candidate for Governor in 1858.
"An effort along that line was
started at the 1850 session. 1t
should be renewed at the 1852
session"
Calls for Estimates,
In two-and-a-half page letter
to members Of the assembly but
tressed with figures of estimated
and actual revenues, Mr.. White
head added:
Only the General Assembly can
appropriate the States money. 1t
should be put in a position where
it can discharge its constitutional
responsibility on the basis of it's
own best judgment. It is high
time for the assembly to do some
estimating of its own"
Mr.. Whitehead fought-and f.
nally lost-a bitter battle in the
closing hours of the 1850 legisla-
tive session to tack onto the gen.
eral appropriating bill an addi-
tional 81 million for school teacher
pay. He referred to this and said
the final. official figures on the
States financial condition at the
end of the 1850 budget period
prove that the administration was
wrong in crying that the extra
million would throw the budget
out Of kilter.
Underestimates Reported.
He calculated that for the four
years ending last June 80, State
fiscal officials underestimated gen.
eral fund revenues by $75,278,429.
This, he said, was an under esti-
mate of ,32.5 per cent. or an aver
age of $19 million a year.
Again putting himself in the
role of the conscience of Virginia S
budget authorities, he went back
to the close Assembly fight earlier
this year when he and other House
members, including Delegate Ed
win Lynch of Fairfax, sought to
provide extra pay raises for more
experienced teachers. It lost in
an all-night struggle that delayed

before World War I, workers
could go almost anywhere in Eu-
rope looking for jobs without pass
prts wrk peoormits, The north
ern countries believe they can all
profit from return to this sort
of exchange. Since 1943 Sweden
has not required working permits
from Danes, Norwegians, Iceland
ers, or Firms.
1.-The single labor market plan
has necessary corollary. What
happens to the worker who can't
get a job in his own country and
finds, when he has gone to another
country, that he can't get one
there either? He gets the same I'M
employment relief as the citizens
of the country to which he has
gone.
"A project of this sort is just
what the Marshall Plan might we'll
be working toward. The fluctuat-
ing economic pressures of the indi-
vidual countries of Europe could
be greatly eased by such a break
ing down of barriers. 1t would be
big step toward the greatly de-
sired economic integration of Eu-
rope"
In January, 1850, 47,S11 Danes,
Firms and Norwegians were en-
ployed in Sweden, as compared
with 46,142 in January, 1949, and
34,370 in January, 1913.
