Greenbelt are as far away as

Fund Reduction
Curbs Maryland
Park rkAcquisition
Planners Criticize
Budget Bureau Step
As 'Short-Sighted'

An economy cut of approx
imately $4,000 ordered in the
1851 appropriation for Natinal
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission was revealed yesterday
as seriously hampering a pro-
gram to include lands of five
small Maryland stream valleys
in the metropolitan park system
Planning officials criticized the
Budget Bureau directed cut in
an already reduced land purchas-
ing appropriation as "short-sighted
economy. About 100000 of the
reduction will be absorbed by the
Maryland program, with the re-
manning $4,000 loss suffered by
the District.
Resultant delays in acquiring
or taking up options in the Mary
land valleys, officials said, would
handicap them in a close race
against rising land values and en-
croachments by private real estate
operators.
Areas Affected.
The areas affected by the cut
in land-purchase funds under
the Capper-Cramton Act are: Sill
go Creek. with one unit each in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties; Northwest Branch and
Paint Branch in Prince Georges;
and Little Falls and Rock Creek
in Montgomery.
The reduction will have less
effect in the District and can be
more easily absorbed. it was ex-
planned. The projects that will
suffer from the defense savings,
however, have not been agreed
upon. There seems to be little
worry over them.
John Nolen. jr., director of
planning, said the cut in the
Maryland program, on the other
hand. constitutes a serious prob
lem.
"All these projects are in critical
subdivision sections of the coun-
ties" he said.
Some of the valleys-par-
ticularly Rock Creek and Sligo
Creek are being completely sur
rounded by subdivisions. Every de-
lay is going to cost the Federal
Government and Maryland more
money in the end"
Projects Restudied.
Taking the 100000 reduction
into account, there remains a little
less than 100000 in the amount
voted for valley land purchases in
the 1851 budget. NCPPC, however
has a carry-over Of nearly $780,
900 from last year which can be
applied. The amount is not suffi-
cient. 5
Offcials explained that the
valley projects must be acquired
as complete units and not piece
meal. Mr.. Nolen' said all the six
projects (there being two in the
Sligo Valley must be restudied
in view of the slash in funds, in
order to set new taking lines.
There is always the threat OF
acreage being bought up by private
developers and subdivided, he ex-
planned.
Two-thirds of the money ad-
vanced by NCPPC to Maryland
agencies for the valley lands would
be repayable to the United States
on an 8-year loan basis. The loan
is interest free. The other one
third is a contribution by the
Federal Government.

 Members of the Senate commit tee complained particularly about what they called the boards long delays in acting on applications airline routes.
 Senators Magnuson D.-Wash0, ), Johnson O.-Colo0 and Johnson D.-Tex), were critical of the board. The Texas Senator accused some member sof the board as be- ing prejudiced in favor of the big airlines.
 He told Rentzel:
 "I want you to tell the board that at least some members of this

committee don't like their (CAB's) dilly-dallying and their prejudice of cases, and expect them to keep this land of opportunity"
 Rentzel replied that he had an "open mind on the subject" and added he believed the non-sched- uled airlines and irregular carri- CTS "who have pioneered in new field have contributed to aviation"
 He also said he considered the system of feeder lines important and expressed doubt that the pre- sent system is satisfactory.

The Constitution of the United States received special emphasis this week. September 17th was Constitution Day and the civics class gave a very interesting and appropriate program in the assem- bly, explaining the Constitution. The Constitution of the United States is document which de- scribes the fundamental principles according to which the nation is governed. It is one of the most re- markable of documents and is un- usually brief. The document went into effect in 1789 when the na- ton included only thirteen states. A distinctive feature of the Con- stitution is the system of "checks and balances" which it contains.
 A means whereby the Constitu- ton might be amended was pro- vided by the framers of this inn portant document. The first ten amendments have been called "The Bill of Rights" Twenty-one amendment have been made to the present time. Other nations re- gard it as one of the great docu- ments of mans development.
 Students in general science are studying different types of soil and contents of each. Differ ent types of plants domesticated by man have also been studied.
 Geometry students have been studying and solving problems in angular measurement. It was the early Babylonians who gave an- gular measurement to the world They assigned 36O degrees about a point called perigon because they thought there were 36O days in the year.
 The physical education class has had special training in tumbling on the mats received from the Army Base. The basketball boys have commenced light practice and training in dribling, passing and pivoting.
