Gov: Battle Answers
Whitehead Challenge
On State Surplus
ey the Associoted Press

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. Gov.
Battle has tossed the ball back to
Robert Whitehead in the vigorous
contest over who's overestimating
or Understanding the States
fiscal resources.
The Governor theorized yester-
day that Mr.. Whitehead's latest
blast on the budget subject may
have been issued because he real
lied that his predictions, esti-
mates and theories Of last winter
are struck down by the facts"
But, he added, "if it gives him
any satisfaction. he may 'chal-
lenge' as much as he likes"
Puts Surplus at S58,3S9.
The Governor stated last week
in a speech in Frederick County
that at the close of the fiscal year
on June 80, 1850. the States gen.
eral fund had an unobligated sur
plus of $58, ,389.31.
Mr.. Whitehead said in a subse-
quent statement that the figure
was exactly what I said in my
letter of September 8 Ito members
of the General Assembly, pointing
out that his Gov. Battle's) flnan-
cial advisers had as late as Feb
ruary 27 predicted a deflcit-a red
flgure-of $1,810,094."
Mr.. Whitehead challenged"
Gov. Battle to deny the correct
ness" of his assertion in the let
ter that the budget for the two
year period ending June 80, 1852,
was In balance with s2.142,564 to
spare. In effect, he was "chal-
lenging" the Governor to deny
that the General Assembly could
have adopted an amendment he
sponsored calling for ST million in
additional pay for teachers. The
amendment was opposed by the
Democratic organization.
Surprised at Reaction.
Gov. Battle said yesterday that
he was unable to understand"
why his simple statement of fact"
in Frederick County should have
aroused Whitehead.
,"I did not refer to Mr.. White
head" the Governor said. "I have
promised the people of Virginia to
make every effort to improve our
public school system. I am carry
ing out that promise conscien-
tiously and I believe with some
measure of success. 7 shall con-
tinue on that course"

Personnel Board Hit
ByCivic Federation

The Prince Georges Civic Fed
Grafton last night vigorously pro-
tested the personnel board selected
by the County Commissioners.
In a letter to the commissioners
the federation charged that an
impartial board is the heart of
any personnel board. and recon-
mended that a merit system in
accordance with nationally &C
cepted governmental regulations
be set up for Prince Georges
County employees.
A formal request for a compre-
hensive survey of the county by
members of the University of
Maryland staff, or some profess
sional survey organization, also
was sent to the commissioners
office. This is the third request
sent by the group to the commits
sioners since 1948.
A satire dramatizing the need
for State constitutional conven-
ton was presented by Mrs. j. c.
Crichton, $500 Sixty third avenue,
Riverdale, Md, with the assistance
Of Miss Nancy O'Dwyer, 4214
Seventy-second avenue, Landover
Hills.
Mrs. Crichton. dressed in an
1857 costume, pointed out some of
the faults in the present constitu-
ton. Particular emphasis was
placed on the fact that the con-
stitution does not guarantee the
voter secret ballot, and that it
also bars any one who has fought
a duel from holding a public
Office.

on two occasions-last Monday

The couple was arrested by a

Control Board investigator, M. K.
Bryant, and Alexandria Detective

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 6.-Vir-
ginia's traffic fatalities last month

September, 1949 toll, State police
reported yesterday.

Building Line Waived,
Hyattsvi|Ie Church
To Complete Building

The Prince Georges County
Board of zoning Appeals last night
granted the Hyattsville Presby-
terian Church a waiver of the
building line restriction, permit
ting the church to complete con-
struction Of a Sunday School
building in the 5000 block of
Forty-second avenue.
An objection to the waiver by
Prince Georges County Commits
sioner T. Hammond Welsh was
withdrawn last night by his son.
T. Hammond Welsh, jr.
Immediately afterward, William
E. Roll, chairman of the church's
building council, expressed appre-
citation for Commissioner Welsh's
"co-operation."
Construction of the building was
interrupted last January by an
injunction granted by Circuit
Court at the request of the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The planning commission origi-
nally issued the permit to the
church permitting a 13-foot set
back. 1t later revoked the permit
on complaint of Commissioner
Welsh.
The commission contended it
had issued the permit in error"
and that the county code required
a 25-foot setback, except in
cases where majority of the
house in the same block have q
lesser setback. In such an In
stance, the setback nearest the
street is allowed to govern. Mr..
Welsh owns the house abutting
the church site.
In his petition to the zoning
board, T. Howard Duckett, attor-
ney for the church, stated that IF
the board failed to act favorably
in the situation "the church
would have to abandon Christian
education of a great many youths
at a sacrifice of many thousands
of dollars"
The boards decision terminated
an eight-month legal battle by
church members to protect their
original $4,000 commitment. The
congregation of the church, rec
ognizing it's eventual need for Mr..
Welsh's property for its additional
facilities. authorized the officers to
purchase the land.
