More than 500
File Claims for
COntrabandS

WASHINGTON. d. c. March %
(ADC) - Approximately 500 claims
were filed under Public Law II to
compensate persons of japanese an
cestry for such contraband articles
as radios. cameras and binoculars
lost or damaged while in custody OF
the Justice Department or its agents,
the JACL DISCRIMINATION Com
mittee was advised today. Deadline
for filing claims was March Is.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director, said the
Justice Department expects to pay
out somewhat less than 100000
on the claims. This means the
$4,000 the department received
recently to complete the contra
band articles claims program
should more than meet the entire
cost of payments.
Masaoka said the Justice Depart
ment also reported it has paid out
approximately 100 claims to date.
These have averaged roughly $50
each
Smallest claim so far paid has
been $3.50 for lost box camera.
Some claims have exceeded 5000.
The Justice Department is NOV
ing rapidly to complete claims pay
ment under this special program,
Masaoka said, and he commended
its efforts to complete this parti-
cular job
He said the department still has
several thousand" contraband items
in storage around the country which
it is seeking to return to original
owners.
while some may have lost re-
ccipts for these, il still is possible
to establish proof of ownership
through other MEANS" he pointed
out. He urged any person of jap
anese ancestry who still have a
contraband article held by the JUS
tice Department, or local police
and sheriff's offices which acted
as Justice representatives. ito
make application for their return.
"Of course, if it is subsequently
discovered that the articles are
damaged il now is too late to put
in claim for the damage, but it
is not too late to make a claim for
an article which may still be in
custody"
He said the department is plan
ming to dispose of these articles and
unless claimants come forth soon,
the items are apt to be destroyed
or otherwise gotten rid Of
Claims payments for contraband
articles were authorized by special
bill introduced at the behest of the
JACL ADO by Sen. Pat McCarran,
ID, New. Masaoka cautioned that
the contraband articles claims law
should not be confused with the
Evacuation Claims Act completely
separate matter.

Planners Disapprove
| Apartment Rezoninq
OF Delaney Tract

The Alexandria Planning Com
mission last night recommended
against rezoning the Delaney
tract in the northwest section OF
the city for apartment use.
More than 100 residents Of the
Beverley Hills area appeared to
protest rezoning Of the six-acre
site bounded by Crestwood drive
Valley drive and Kenwood ave-
nue..
The property now is zoned for
single family residences. Two
years ago. the City Council re-
zoned approximately the same
tract for row-house development
but residents of the Beverley
Hills area had that action upset
in court and the coming was re-
turned to A-residential.
Paul Lyme Delaney. attorney
and one of the owners, said that
the property is opposite part OF
the Parkfairfax apartment prof.
ect. Opponents commended it is
in the heart of the city's best
residential area, and would lower
their property values.
The planning commission IS
recommendation will be passed on
to the City Council, which will
consider the rezoning January g.
The planning commission last
night also recommended against
commercial zoning of residential
land along Monroe avenue be-
tween Mount Vernon and Leslie
avenues.

Case Group Proposes
Abandoning Present
Assessment System

BALTIMORE, Dec. The
State Tax Survey Commission
wants to do away with Maryland's
continuous assessment system, I'M
der which one-fifth of all prop
erty in Maryland is evaluated each
year for tax purposes.
| Instead, it would have the State
go back to the old system of re-
valuing property on a year-to-
year basis.
1t suggested in a report to Gov.
Lane and the Legislative Council
that each piece of property be
rated at its full cash value.
| That value would then be used
as an assessment for State prop
erty tax purposes.
Towns Could Amend Rates.
| A local government, however,
would not have to accept the cash
value figure as the assessment for
local government purposes.
It could take any percentage of
the cash value of the property it
desired.
The report was released last
night by Richard Case, commits
sion chairman. The so-called
Case Commission was appointed
last year to look over Maryland's
whole tax structure.
One of its main jobs was to
,go over the assessment practices
which have caused much dissen-
sion in the last two years.
District System.
Under the present plan of con-
tlnuous assessments, each county
land Baltimore City is divided
into five tax districts. One dis
trict is re-assesSed each year.
The system worked fairly well
during its first five years, when
l940- 194l property values were
used as valuation base.
However. the second found" CT
the rotation system started last
year, and a 1884 base was
selected as best IMPLYING actual
cash value" if current inflationary
prices were disregarded.
Property owners in the districts
re-assessed last year found that
their assessments were much
hlgher-in some cases 100 per
cent above-those of their neigh
bors in another district. And the
same thing happened this year.
May Have Beaten Lane,
A howl went up. Some observ-
ers attribute Gov Lanes failure
to win a second term to the as
sessment plan as much as any,
thing else, despite the fact that
the law went into effect in 1943
-four years before he took Of
flee.
Under the Case Commissions
plan, which will be presented to
the 1851 General Assembly ses-
sion starting in three weeks. the
new program would go into effect
in 1954-at the end of the cur
rent five-year cycle.
Assessors would be under State
control "in order to achieve uni
formity and equality"
The State would assume the
full cost of setting up aad get
ting the new system into opera
| ton.

Warwick Referendum
On Bond Issue Approved
BY the Associated Press

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. Is.
The Warwick County Board of
Supervisors has approved a petit
ton seeking a countrywide refer
endum on a $1,250,000 bond issue
for school construction.
Passage of the bond issue would
raise the county tax rate from
$2,85 to $3.l5 per 500. The issue
already has been approved by the

Politics Has Effect on Costs
of Building Arlington Schools
places, had a profound effect upor

places, had profound effect upon
the outcome of the referendum.
1t proved so hot politically that
the civic association withheld for
NAL action until after the vote.
Last week. the members finally
considered the document and
adopted it.
Although objecting to the
School Boards building policies,
Mr.. Bryner said he voted for
the bond issue. Indicative of his
nonpartisanship in November. he
said. is the fact that he also
voted for one Democrat and one
Republican. He said there are
many other citizens who felt as
he did. Some of these helped
prepare the critical report.
Specifically, the report listed
these major reasons why Arling-
ton school construction Is excess
sively high"
/. Custom building Of schools,
individual planning of each build
ing and room and diversified class
rooms beyond the State require
mentS.
Expensive Heating.
2. Use of the most expensive
type of heating. Radiant heat
requires two systems, the radiant
system and the ventilating system.
Ventilation heating gives both heat
and ventilation.
3. Excessive use of glass block
contributes to high costs in Airing
ton. 1t is not particularly adapted
to this climate and frequently re-
suits in glare requiring neutraliz-
ing at additional cost. Use of the
glass block is expected to create
high maintenance cost.
4. Inclusion of luxury-type items
such as showers in elementary
schools, private teacher kitchens,
rubble stone work, individual class
room toilets and hotel-type kitch-
en- equipment which is not eco
nomically utilized, etc.
Lack of Planning.
S. Extravaganza in building has
been due to lack of realistic plan
ming and an inexperienced indi-
vidual in charge of construction.
The School Board is confusing
the thought that an expensive
building is synonymous with a
good school.
The boards defense against all
these charges cannot be sum-
married quickly. But it has an
SWers to each. Whether the an
swers are sufficient or satisfactory
depends upon ones personal views.
Ways to measure school building
costs and some of the reasons Ar
lington expenditures are high, will
be explored in the next INSTALL
ment of this series.

merrymakers to toast 1851 with
whiskey and fortified wines. In

creed that the latter could be sold
from midnight Sunday until 2

and light wine can be sold on

1--WE do not feel there. is sufi-
Icient authority under the law to
permit this Office, the State APP
peals Board or the Board of Lii

The Prince Georges law forbids
sales of whiskey from midnight
Saturday until 6 am. Monday.
Beer and light wine may be sold,
however, between the hours of 3
a m. and midnight on Sunday.
License Granted.
| The board yesterday granted the

MI. Brooke acted as chairman
yesterday in the place of Brooke

ISOLATION asked United States At.
torney Bernard J. Flynn yester.
day to investigate dealers wa
tering' packages of oysters.
Clarence w. Miles, attorney fol

in pint containers containing 9
greatly excessive quantity of wa
ter.
Where the existing Federal anc
State laws limit the liquid con.
tent to approximately per cent
of the total package. there are
countless instances where the
package actually contains as high
as so per cent water" Mr.. Miles
stated
