Since all weather patterns fol-

his prediction:
A cooler spring. a summer that
won't be quite SO warm as usual

should be somewhat more frigid

agreed yesterday that holding

avoid another tax boost will be
the principal job of the Congress

AIRY 8.
Senator'S O'Mahoney of Wyo-

both predicted Congress will not
go for another increase in taxes,
leaving economy as the only al
tentative.
Senator johnson said the fact
that 1852 is election year will help
make an economy drive successful.
AS chairman of the subcom-
mittee on Defense Appropriations,
Senator O'Mahoney has charge of
about half the total involved in

approved by Congress called for
approximately $57 billion. A sub

procurement of heavy weapons
and will not be spent until fiscal
1858 or later. At the same time
the defense establishment has

Great Changes Urged
In Prince Georges 10
Improve County Rule
Chicago Survey Firm
Submits S5-Puee Report
After Lengthy Study
By Gene Goodwin

What Prince Georges County
needs. above all, is to be able to
govern itself "democratically and
efficiently" through a home rule
charter-county manager type of
government.
That is the most emphatic of
several drastic governmental
changes recommended for the
nearby Maryland county by Public
Administration Service of Chicago
the professional survey group
which has had Prince Georges
under its microscope since last
March.
The survey firms S5-page
printed report. released yesterday
suggests that the present five-man
Board of County Commissioners
be replaced by a County Council,
elected to set policy, and a county
manager. appointed by the council
to carry out that policy.
The council would pass all local
laws now enacted by the General
Assembly in Annapolis. Such a
system is in effect in neighboring
Montgomery County, which adopt
ed its charter in November, 1948.
Report Has Criticisms.
The report is sharply critical in
spots, particularly where it dis
cusses the way the county has
handled public funds in recent
years, but Unexpectedly mild in
other aspects.
1t calls for abolition of the
Maryland-Na Capital Park
and Planning Commission, the
Board of Education, the Board OF
Supervisors of Elections, and the
elective positions of county sur
veyor and county treasurer.
1t urges that the sheriff's Office
serve only as an agent of the
courts and that the sheriff be
appointed by the Circuit Court,
instead of being elected.
1t does not recommend a specific
size and salary scale for the
county police force, as many OBJ
servers believed it would. Nor
does it advocate that town police
forces be done away with, pointing
out that "if the county provides
adequate police services, the duty
of town police will be limited to
providing special police services in
the towns and thus in many in
stances the towns may decide
gradually to eliminate their police
organizations"
Nine Departments Suggested.
1t proposes what amounts to a
merit system for county employees.
1t urges that the volunteer fire
departments submit complete fl
nancial statements to the county
and have an annual audit per-
formed, since they receive about

military expenditures in fiscal 1858
would reach $63 billion.
Senator O'Mahoney said he un-
derstands the estimates again are
being cut in the Department, and
added. this is all to the good,

to be on the home front, where
the passion for prof1teering and

IO'Mahoney said. with it's eye on
two facts:
Il. That there is no possibility
this session of Congress will in
crease taxes.
2. That the primary concern of
Congress must be to avoid infla-
ton by preventing all unneces-
Sary expenses, even in the Depart
ment OF Defense. This is much
more clear now to Congress and
the country than it was on August

budget"
When congressional leaders re-
turn to the Capitol after the
Christmas holidays their first con-
cern will be to consider how the
appropriation bills can be expe-
dited. There will be a strong
desire to complete the work of the
session before the political con-
ventions are held in July. To do
this the House will have to get
on to an early start on the ap-
preparation bills, which always
originate in that branch.

Only 1900 Prisoners
'0f $1,000 Americans
Expected 10 Return
Enemy Source indicates
High Percentage of
Others Died of Wounds
BY the Asseeio,ed Pres.

PANMUNJOM. Korea, Dec. IS,
An enemy source indicates
that of more than 1000 Ameri-
cans missing in action in Korea,
less than 1000 can be expected
to come down the road to this
truce camp if the war ends.
There is good reason to believe
this appraisal is true.
Refusal of the Communists to
list the prisoners they hold has
been hindering armistice talks.
Thus far. no Allied spokesman
has said officially how many
prisoners the United Nations COM
mand believes the Communists
are holding.
Deaths From Wounds Cited.
One Allied report recently esti-
mated that up to 5000 U. N
soldiers have died of wounds or
atrocities. This would support the
general figure of something under
1000 being still alive.
The same enemy source that in
dicated the total being held, con-
flrmed that many captives haG
died of wounds.
He said that if there had been
any possibility of providing medi-
cal aid Immediately, the number
of prisoners alive now would have
been much larger.
However" he said, "the one
third figure is more or less COM
parable to other wars"
Uniforms Reported Issued.
Late information from the
prisoner of war camps in North
Korea, he said, is that the prison
ers have been issued blue winter
uniforms, similar to the Chinese
brown winter uniform. Tht
prisoners have also been issuec
