Worker Gets
Award

WASHINGTON (ANP)- An
award was made last week to FL
mer C. House, a voucher examin-
err in the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, for devising a time
saving procedure in the handling
Of Production and Marketing ad-
m~inistration vouchers which saves
the government $1,400 a year.
The procedure developed by
Mr.. House provides for the elm
nation of an Unnecessary step in
the preparation of vouchers for
payment. About 1900 such vouch-
ers are processed monthly by the
audit section of PMA's Fiscal
branch. Under Mr.. Houses proce-
dure, approximately 912 man
hours per year will be saved in
processing. And since the salary
level of this terminating work is
$1.57 per hour, total savings to
the Government amounts to $1,4-
31.84 annually.
Presentation ofthe award was
made by Karney A. Basefield, di-
rector of the Fiscal branch. It con-
sisted of a certificate of award
and a check for $50.

rell Law school, has been an en-
ployee of the Department of Agri-
culture since 1885. He is a native

Mayor 0'Dwyer
Sounds Off On
Segregation

NEW YORK CAMP Mayor
O'Dwyer sounded off against seq
regation last week in one Of his
usual high sounding speeches well
coming Bishop D. Ward Nichols
and a group Of 80 AME ministers
who paid a courtesy call to the
City Hall. The group was attend
ing the annual conference of the
AME church which was held in
Flushing, Long Island.
The Mayor termed segregation
bad for many reasons and said it
gave the selfish and opportunity
to grow fat on other people and
that it was a barrier to tolerance
because it prevented different
groups from getting to know each
other.

Discrimination

There was no strike at the
theater at the time, but there was
dispute between members of the
colored organizations with the
Gem theater because of the fail
ure of the theater to employ a
Negro manager. There was no evil
dence that the pickets made any
effort to interfere with theater
patrons.
Counsel for the two men con-
tend that though the men were not
employed by the Gem theater, the
only one permitted by the Virginia
pickting law to participate in a
strike against any industry, they
are members of the Negro race
as such are a part Of the group
which did have a dispute with the
theater management.

WASHINGTON CAMP Ac-
cording to the seventh report of
the Economic Cooperation admin
istration, Substantial progress has
been made by the United Kingdom
Belgium, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, in formulating re-
quests for funds from the $50 mil
lion reserve earmarked by ECA
for development projects, part OF
long-range plans, in overseas ter
ritories during the fiscal year."
1t is stated that the major res
possibility for economic develop
ment in these areas rests upon the
European governments and the
CeTT1COEleS CoIlCcIA1So'
The United Kingdom, it is re-
vealed, has made a preliminary
request for $7.5 million for 20
projects comprising, in all curren-
cies, expenditures of $75 million.
Most of these projects r in Bri-
fish Africa, and the remainder in
Cyprus, British Guiana, Jamaica,
Fiji and other areas. The projects
embrace a wide range Of basic
economic developments, with en-
phasis on road building, water
supply and irrigation, and food
production for local consumption
and export.
Information from Belgium, Fran
ce, the Netherlands, and Portugal
indicates that substantial requests
will shortly be made for ECA fin
ancial aid in overseas development
Belgium is preparing at least two
key projects in the Belgian Con-
20 (the source Of the worlds best
uranium, the basic element OF
atomic energy), where adequate
roads are needed to connect pro-
duction centers with main COM
munication lines, and where soil
conservation is a passing problem.
The ECA Mission at the Hague
has indicated that the Neither
lands will ask for assistance to
implement two land reclamation
schemes in Surinam Dutch
Guiana).
France is already utilizing a
substantial quantity of it's regul-
ar ECA program funds for financ-
ing essential imports to North and
West Africa and is expected to
request assistance from the over
seas development reserve for road
building, improvement Of water
ways, and development of mining
projects. Portuguese territories in
Africa, Mozambique and Angola,
offer promising fields of develop
ment, Especially the fisheries
forests, and agricultural land"

RICHMOND, May 20. - The

They played a game last night
at Griffith Stadium - a game
which often bore a somewhat
striking resemblance to baseball.
Most of the playing was well
below big league standards. and
most of the players were well
above the age Of athletic maturi-

in which each is a star-politics.
It was the annual Congressional

Lane Says Schools
In Maryland Rank
Near Best in Nation

Maryland's public schools now
rank about second in the Nation.
according to Gov. Lane.
The Governors claim was made
before nearly 400 persons last
night at the annual dinner dance

Estate Board at the Congressional
Country Club.
Also speaking at the dinner was
Representative Beall, Republican,
Of Maryland. He predicted the
end Of Federal rent control this
year.
The phenomenal rise In the
position of the schools from q
ranking in the low 40s among the
States in 1916 the Governor cred
tied to understanding co-opera-
ton between State and county
governments. It would not have
been possible without the sales
tax and the redistribution Of other
State funds. according to the
Sherbow report, he added.
An 85-cent increase In the
Montgomery County basic tax
rate would be necessary to cover
its share from State tax funds,
the Governor said. Returns TO
the county during the present ifs
cal year will total $2.o77. 1896. This
Is an increase Of $1.T14.4sl over
the State taxes returned to the
county In 1947. The latest figures
available for sales tax paid In
Montgomery County show that
$1.218.807 went to the State cof-
fers from this source In the ls4e
fiscal year. according to the Gov
ernor.
He said State assistance to pri-

4 Rezoning Petitions
; Opposed
In Prince Georges

Approval of four Prince Georges
County rezoning petitions and de-
NAL of three others have been rec
commended by the Maryland-Na-
tional Park and Planning Commits
sion.
The recommendations, includ-
ing one in which the commission
overruled the views of its plan
ming staff, were made to the coun-
ty commissioners.
That petition, which the plan
ming body recommended for ap-
proval, was filed by Thomas v.
and Mary Mason Lake. It seeks
the Redistribution from R-55
(one-family detached home) to
R-35 (one-family semi-detached
homes) of 81a acres on the south
side of Carriers Lane adjacent to
the Pinewood subdivision, River
dale.
The planning staff recon-
mended its denial on the ground
the surrounding area already had
been developed with detached
homes.
Stand Is Explained.
In rejecting this opinion the
commission took the stand that
mot only would the one-family
semi-detached homes proposed
here be of higher caliber than the
detached construction which is
taking place in the area, but would
be consistent with the land uses
being established on the north
side of Calvert road"

the commission recommended be
