picture in history than when the
Germans were conquered in 1918
and the world was supposed to
be safe for democracy. Had the
nations, and the United States in
cluded, lived up to the precepts
promulgated at Varsaille there
would have been no World War
II. But the nations morally adj
dictated.
England went on with her i'm
perialism and so did the other
! nations and whereas we of the
United States did not flagrantly
launch out upon imperialistic en-
terprise we abetted England and

of Stephen, he threw no stones

| who were throwing. We have per-
| sisted in holding Britan's cloaks
of imperialism. We have winked
| at every exploitation of the darker
peoples by the white imperialists.
| The disgrace that is South Africa
| is merely a straw showing the way
the color winds are blowing.
Widespread and rampant race
prejudice, which finds such hospl-

! revealing itself as the moral prob
lem No. l of the Twentieth

! decided to cling to it's prejudice
and take the consequences. This
is a moral question that places the
preiudiced at variance with God,
Time and the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ, This is a most
dangerous position for any nation
for no nation has survived it.
The point of this release is
tied in with the current attempts
of u country to buy up friend

1t would seem that we r willing
to let the moral leadership of the
world go by default. Little by
little we are ceasing to contend
for the moral leadership that is
ours by right divine. When we go
out to win friends among the
nations we do not base our claims
upon our moral integrity; we base
it upon our check hook.

66 Pei. Tax Increase
Seen as Cost Of Area S
Joining Falls Church

Residents of the 1915 square
miles which Falls Church seeks to
annex from Fairfax County can
expect 66 per cent tax increase
the second year after they would
be taken into the city.
This was disclosed as Lee
Rhodes, chairman of the Falls
Church Council Finance Commit
tee, outlined before a three-judge
annexation court at Fairfax yes
terday how the city proposes to
finance its expansion.
Mr.. Rhodes testified that the
first year after annexation resi-
dents of the area would enjoy a
reduction from the county tax
rate of $3.19 per 500 of assessed
valuation, to $3.50, which is the
estimated city tax rate for 1851
The second year. however, the as
sessments of the annexation area
would be raised to As per cent of
assessed values-more than double
the present estimated assessment
in the area of % per cent.
Would that actually mean an
increase of 66.15 per cent in taxes
for those in the annexation area
according to your figures?" asked
Attorney Frank Ball who repre-
sents a group opposing annexa-
ton.
Mr.. Rhodes said that seemed
correct. He added, however, that
Evening star., 1950-07-01

it may be possible to have a tax
rate lower than $3.50 if new con-
struction continues to expand the
tax base.
Mr.. Ball said that while resi-
dents in the annexation area
would have a 66 per cent tax in
crease, the taxes would Jump only
27.5 per cent for residents within
the present city limits. He said
this was because the present tax
rate of $4.55 was to be lowered to
$3.50 as the assessment is in
creased from 20 per cent to As
per cent.
"Is it your idea that you can
raise the assessment in the an
nexation area even before you
complete the required improve
ments?" asked Robert j. Nc
Candlish. attorney for the county
Mr.. Rhodes replied that he
thought the annexation area as
sessments could Immediately be
brought up to the city level. The
city announced last week it plans
a As per cent assessment in 1851.
Fairfax is expected to challenge
the right of Falls Church to in
crease taxes in the annexation
area before required improvements
are completed. The law requires
improvements equal to IL per cent
of the assessed value of the an
nexed land.

Hose Line Method
Of Watering Barred
ToConserye Supply

Restrictions forbidding the wa
tering of gardens and washing of
cars with hose lines were imposed
in nearby Maryland today by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. New sod may be
watered by special permission.
The commission, which issued
similar restrictions last summer.
said that current projects expand
ing the areas water supply should
make conservation measures un-
necessary next year.
A commission spokesman ex-
planned that although good rain
fall has provided sufficient water
throughout late spring, more than
5000 new connections have been
added to the nearby Maryland
water system. He said that warm
weather lately has increased water
consumption to an unusual de-
gree and that from June 90 to

'Jet-PropeIIed' Sailor Is Given
6 Months for Fatal Car Crash

A Prince Georges County judge
yesterday sentenced a "jet pro-
PEELED" sailor to a six-month term
in the Maryland House of Cor
rections for reckless driving.
The sailor, Paul Secchiaroli, 18,
appealed to Circuit Court and
was released in $1,000 bond.
It was the first such conviction
in Upper Marlboro Police Court
since Judge Alan Bowie a week
ago warned speeders and reckless
drivers that they may as well
prepare to serve jail sentences"
Secchiaroli was acquitted by
Judge Bowie of an additional
charge of manslaughter. Both
charges grew out of an accident
June II near Wells Corner in
which another sailor was killed

Maryland May Spend
STAB Million Durinq
Year Starting Today
By the Assoeiafed Press

ANNAPOLIS. July L. The
State of Maryland started a new
fiscal year today, expecting to
spend $143,3o7, 1903 in the next
IL months.
The figure, an all-time high,
represents an outlay of SCI .94 for
every man, woman and child in
Maryland. And it means that the
State will spend 1892, ,622 a day
on its agencies, institutions,
schools, roads, hospitals and pub
lie welfare.
General funds account for $780,
090,699 of the outlay. The rest
will be spent out of special funds.
General Fund Sources.
General funds are those COL
lected through income, sales, and
other taxes. They are disbursed
to pay for schools, relief, medical
care. salaries and operating ex-
penses Of State institutions.
Special funds come from single
purpose revenues. such as the
gasoline tax, receipts from which
go into road building and repair.
The State had a general fund
surplus estimated at $5,747,01, at
the end of the fiscal year last
night. But budget authorities pre-
dicted that the surplus would
dwindle to about 100000 by the
end Of the present year on June
80, 1851. Here's why:
Appropriations from the general
fund total $80,O9O,699. Revenues
are estimated at only $73,153, 1923.
That leaves $6,937 ,371 to make up.
Other Funds Unused.
Fiscal authorities expect to do
it by using the present surplus
plus 100000 now lying idle in the
bond retirement account, plus
about $500,000 expected in returns
from State agencies which don't
spend all their appropriations.
The three biggest revenue-pro-
ducers for the State are the nickel
a-gallon gasoline tax, the retail
sales tax and the income tax.
The gasoline tax is expected tc
bring in $23 million in the next
IL months. Budget authorities
expect the sales tax to produce
$27.5 million and the income tax
to yield $29.075, 900

Bethesda today celebrates COM
pletion of widening of a badly
congested section of Wisconsin
avenue. A parade and a speech by
Gov. Lane are highlights.
Although motorists have been
using portions of the half-mile
stretch between East-West high
way and Glenbrook road for sew
eral weeks. the entire project was
to be thrown open to traffic after
the Governor cut a ribbon at Wis
consin avenue and Commerce
street this morning.
Built at a cost of $685., ,488, the
widening of the arterial highway
from 40 to 10 feet eliminates one
of the two worst traffic bottle
necks in suburban Montgomery
County.
The other is Georgia avenue be-
tween ColeSville road, Silver
Spring, and Glenmont. Plans for
its widening are being drafted by
the State Roads Commission.
Completion of the Bethesda
project also ends a 10-year fight
by county officials and business
and civic groups in the communi-

Third Major Improvement.
1t is the third major road prof.
ect completed in the county's sub
urban area since the war. The
first was the new Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad underpass on Geor-
gia avenue and the second, the
widening from East-West highway
to Colesville road two years ago.
Total cost was $1.4 million.
Work on another project-the
bypass of Route 240 in Rockville
is expected to start this fall.
Approximately $4,000 persons
were expected at the parade which
was to be led by Gov. Lane. The
line of march was from Jones
Bridge road. along Wisconsin ave-
nue. past the reviewing stand at
Commerce street, to Leland street.

rights-of-way. Preliminary sur
veys were begun by the commits
sion but were halted by the war.
The project was brought up
again by the county in 1916 but
was stymied for the second time.
The county and the State Roads
Commission were unable to agree
on how much right-of-way was
needed on both sides of the ave-
nue. and on the design of the
Wisconsin nue-East- West high
way intersectional treatment.
Land Acquisition Different.
In addition, the county ran into
difficulty in persuading property
owners to give land without cost
for the widening.
For a while, it looked as though
the plans had come to a stop, par
ticularly when the new County
Council said it might have to drop
the entire project because the cost
of acquiring the rights-of way
was too high.
Some of the property owners
affected then formed a commit
tee to push the widening and en-
|ployed Clarence Keiser, Bethesda
attorney, to attempt to get as
much land as possible dedicated
without cost.
After Mr.. Keiser got a majority
of the property owners to CO.

sion agreed to bear half the cost
Of acquiring the rest of the prop
erty needed.
Contract Let In I94S.
Other difficulties soon were
ironed out and a contract was
awarded to the Wilmoth Paving
Co.. Washington, in August, 1949.
OF the S339,488 actual paving
cost, $243.318 was paid by the
State and $96,170 by the county.
The latter figure included curbs
and cutters and storm water
drainage facilities. The State also
has agreed to pay an additional
$4,000, representing half the
cost of acquiring rights-of-way.
The county will pay the remain
ing $130.000. plus $36,31O for side
walks. $2,301 for paving street in
tersections, SIS, 900 for traffic lights
along Wisconsin avenue from
Glenbrook road to Bradley boule-
ward and $4,000 for a concrete
dividing strip between Bradley

SteeIworkers Warned
Gain in Machines
Threatens Depression
by the Asssei0tsd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, May 10.-The
CIO- -SteelworkerS Union was told
today that technical advances Of
the past few years constitute a
threat to the livelihood of millions
of American workers"
Substitution Of machines for
men may cause such unemploy-
ment that "the resulting depres-
sion will be infinitely greater than
that Of 20 years ago." a resolution
said.
The resolution was presented to
the steelworkers at their nth
biennial convention. 1t was one of
almost so resolutions which
covered economics. politics and
foreign affairs.
Here are highlights from resolu-
tions which outlined programs to
combat a depression:
"A progressive wage standard, q
shorter work week and a guaran-
teed annual wage negotiated
through collective bargaining are
essential to bring about rising con-
sumption levels needed to sustain
full employment. a.
Public Works Urged.
"The following measures should
be enacted Immediately:
Passage of legislation to extend
unemployment compensation ben
eft payments to 50 weeks in all
areas where unemployment ex-
ceeds 8 per cent Of the labor force.
1.-The establishment of an emer-
gency public works program.
Establishment of q civilian
conservation corps to absorb
some Of the younger workers who
have been unable to find jobs and
at the same time help replenish
the Nations natural resources.
Appropriation Of funds which
can be advanced to workers who
wish to move themselves and
their families out of the more
severely depressed economic areas.
Individual grants up to a 81 900
should be available in such cases"
Wage Increases Asked.
One resolution said wage in
creases can and must be paid by
corporations without increasing
prices" Another said the mini
mum wage should be raised from
rs cents to q dollar.
Personal income tax exemptions
should be increased to $500 a
person, $4,000 for a married couple
and 5000 for each dependent, q
resolution said.
Repeal of the Taft Hartley Act
and the passage Of legislation Ito
carry out the specific provisions
Of the Fair Deal" was urged in
other resolutions.
Picking up a plea by Philip
Murray. president Of the steel
workers and the CIO, in his OPEN
ing address yesterday, a resolution
said "the union shop in the steel
industry is a primary goal of our
organization"
