Group 10 Fight
Annexation Law
Seeks Repeal of Bill
Yielding 28 Acres
To Tukomu Park

Citizens of the Chillum- -Adelphi
area will seek repeal of a law
annexing % acres of land to the
town of Takoma Park and, mean
while, will resist encroachment
of municipalities into other un-
incorporated areas of Prince
Georges County. .
Especially, they will strive to
stop extension of Takoma Park
into the county because they fear
unnecessary complications in
government occasioned by it's be-
ing bi-county town" A part of
Takoma Park is in Montgomery
County.
Some 80 representatives of civic
groups, claiming to represent 30.-
900 persons in the county's fastest
growing area, approved these
moves in a meeting last night in
Langley Park School.
Rap McKeldin, Delegates.
In a resolution adopted at the
meeting. the civic leaders raped
Gov. McKeldin and the Prince
Georges County delegation for en-
actment of a measure at the last
General Assembly which adds the
% acres to Takoma Park without
referendum.
The Governors approval of the
measure came after a delegation
urged a veto on the ground that
Takoma Park wanted to grab
the land for tax purposes.
A spokesman for the Governor
said the executive had called the
bill wrong in principle, but pointed
out that the acres in question had
once belonged to Takoma Park.
The Governor added, the spokes-
man said, that in view of this. and
further confederation that Takoma
Park would provide municipal
services, he did not feel disap-
Fear Water Confusion.
In the resolution, the Chillum-
Adelphl group pointed out that
various sections of Prince Georges
have refused in referenda to be
annexed to- small towns on their
perimeters and said:
widespread among us is the
belief that to divide the homo
genous among several small towns
will further confusion in govern
ment in that citizens must turn
elsewhere for fundamental serv-
ices such as schools, welfare,
health. recreation and sanitation. !"
The Chillum Adelphi group
also said in the resolution that
they would support efforts to
provide an overall government
for the area, "either as a mod
ernized county government capa-
BILE of giving city services or some
form of metropolitan government
which would avoid overlapping
services and taxation by both the
county and the municipality"
Such a plan, the citizens said
may be presented as the result of
recommendations expected at the
end of survey of the Prince
Georges County governmental set
up which is now underway.

Rent for SchooIrooms

Fairfax County School
Board members are beginning
to wonder about a vicious
economic cycle. They have
been renting two basement
rooms in the Culmore Apart

Yesterday, the board read
a letter from the apartment
owners saying that because of
the increased school budget
and higher tax bills, the
rental would be $50 4 room

Patients Turned AWAY
Daily in 0vercrowded
Arlington Hospital .

An average of dozen patients
day must be turned away from
overcrowded Arlington Hospital.
This is because an institution of
only lis beds is constantly called
on to serve an area embracing
245, 1000 inhabitants.
Even when emergency patients
are admitted. they frequently are
placed in corridors, in rooms al
ready filed to capacity, and even
in the doctors library.
Only yesterday, it looked for a
while as if terrible emer-
gency confronted the hospital.
Two Arnold buses collided and the
hospital was alerted that Is per-
sons had been injured. A kind
fate, however, directed that the in
juries were minor and none of the
passengers had to be admitted.
First Week of Fund Drive.
The hospital now is in it's first
week of a month-long drive for
funds. There has been no progress
report yet, but goal of $400 900
has been set. A contribution of at
least 81 from each member of a
family is sought in Arlington, Fair
fax and Falls Church.
That would be enough-along
with larger contributions and do
nations from business groups-to
build a sorely-needed addition of
TO rooms. But this addition would
actually make go more beds avail
able by freeing space in the pres
ent structure for 20 beds.
Beds for children would be
more than trebled. A total of so
instead of the present Is would
be cared for in a separate wing
under the care of a resident
pediatrician.
One hall of the hospital, origi-
nally intended for Negro patients,
would be released for their use.
Laboratory and Clinics.
Besides the 10 beds, the new
wing would house a. laboratory,
outpatient clinics and meeting and
lecture rooms for the staff.
The existing operating rooms,
kitchen and heating plant are con-
sidered by the hospital to be ade-
quate to support the increased
patient load that would be created
Between 100 and $50 prospective
patients are asked each month to
delay operations or other hospital
care because of the shortage OF
space.
The hospital is called on to pro-
vide facilities for Arlingtons popu-
lation of more than 1875, 1000, and
a large portion of the 10000 in
Fairfax County and Falls Church.
152 Babies Delivered.
Administrator John j. Anderson
said 152 babies were delivered in
the hospital last month and moth
ers were able to remain in the
hospital only from two to four
days.
A Prince of Peace" trailer. de-
picting the life of Christ, was on
exhibit in the Columbia pike busi-
ness district today and will be at
North Highland street and Wilson
boulevard, Clarendon, tomorrow
The model was built by Clifford
Cunningham of Arlington. Dona-
tions will be accepted and turned
over to the hospital campaign.
The hospital also is putting on
a Mrs. Hush" contest through
Washington area radio and tele-
vision stations. Several prizes are
offered, with the highest award
being a 1851 Oldsmobile holiday
coupe.
Contestants must contribute ST.
to the Arlington Hospital fund to
become eligible to identify the re-
corded voice that is broadcast
over the stations during the cam
paign. The entry must be accom-
panied by statement in Is words
or less on Why I Should Buy De-
fense Bonds"

Judges Traffic School,
.Radar Use Planned in
Maryland Safety Drive
By q stor stoff CORRESPONDENT

ANNAPOLIS, May 18.-Mary-
land will use radar and drunko-
meters and will send it's judges
and prosecutors to school in an
all-out effort to rid streets and
highways of speeders and tipsy
drivers.
Mass carelessness in walking
and driving, induced by war ten
sions. have caused 1S0 deaths and
5000 injuries this year" Gov. Nc
Keldin said yesterday at a High
way Safety Assembly in the State
House.
Calling for "an aroused and ar
ticulate public opinion" the Gov
ernor urged rs press. radio and
television representatives to help
enlist the interest and co-opera-
ton of the great mass of ordinary
citizens"
He declared 1851 Safety Year"
and ordered that Traffic Court
Conference for judges and prose-
cutors be held June Is and 16 at
the University of Maryland. Fed
eral and State court judges. police
and bar association officials will
conduct the conference.
Exceed War Casualties.
"1t is Shocking to realize" he
said, that $500 more civilians
lost their lives on our streets and
highways during the last six
months Of 1850 than the total of
l3,200 Americans listed as dead
or missing in action in Korea in
the same period. Moreover" he
added, "25 civilians were injured
in traffic for every one wounded
in battle"
Gov. McKeldin also announced
that a safety program directed by
Paul E. Burke. will include an in
crease in the State police force, a
ban on traffic fixes, driver educa-
Ition in public schools, uniform
laws and periodic re-examination
Iot drivers.
Re-emphasizing that public
opinion is the keystone of the
whole safety structure. the Gov
Iernor said public understanding
and support are indispensable in
normal times and are doubly i'm
portant in the present crisis"
After luncheon at the executive
mansion. the Assembly shifted it's
activities to the Chesapeake Bay
Ferry road, where portable weigh
ing devices and radar speed-re-
icording instruments were demon
Istrated.
DR.. Glenn c. Forester of North
western University explained op-
Ieration of the drunkometer when
the group returned to the State
House.
Plan Court Action.
The radar apparatus records
the speed of passing cars on a
visible indicator and also on a
chart which authorities plan to
use in court actions after June l..
Maj. w. H. Weber of the State
police said legal authorities had
suggested that he take speeders
trapped by the device into court
pending rulings on the admissi-
bility of such evidence.
Mr.. Burke said present plans
call for the placing of a drunk
ometer in the hands of all traffic
officers.
The instrument, now in use in
13 States, allows policemen to
make immediate tests as to the
sobriety of suspected drivers.
A suspect. if he agrees to the
test, blows up what looks like a
toy balloon. His breath passes
through a tube in which is a red
dish liquid. If the color stays he
is considered sober, but if the red
dish hue disappears it looks bad
for the driver. In that case the
officer seals up the apparatus and
takes it to toxicologist for ex-
animation.

Poll Tax Paying Time Is Here Again

Poll Tax Paying time is here again, the price of
which is two dollars. We urge every intelligent Negro
citizen in Mississippi to pay his her poll tax now
which means during the month of January or on the
first day of February
The $500 Poll tax is the price the citizens of Mis-
ssspp called upon to pay each year for the right
to vote. We know of nothing of greater value which
Negro citizen could buy for the price of two dollars
Last year, and in the previous years, reports have
from many counties in the state that the sheriffs
and tax collectors have refused to take the poll tax
money from Negro citizens
In a time like this when Democracy is being faced
with its greatest challenge, and the need for unity and
good will is needed in every community and in every
state, Negro Citizens anywhere in Mississippi should
be denied the right to pay his poll tax When presented
the money should be accepted and receipt given for
same which only that the sheriff and Tax Col
lector is carrying out his duty under the laws of
the state.
Moreover, in those counties where the conditions
developed through the practice of years has forbidden
Negro citizens the payment of their poll tax in these
times the Sheriff and Tax Collector in the name of real
American Democracy should make it known that now
Negro citizens, like other citizens may pay their poll
tax and receive receipt for same.
Poll tax paying time is here again and urge every
intelligent Negro citizen in the state to pay his poll

Editorial OF The Week

Following excerpts reprinted from an editorial
which appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal of Deem
Der Is, 1850:
"CAN WE MAINTAIN THESE FREEDOMS?"
The first ten amendments to the Constitution COM
monty known the Bill of Rights spell out the personal
freedoms which we Americans value highly.
MANY of us take these freedoms for granted 9th
ers have enjoyed all of them The degree which
they actually effective varies in different cities and
different stateS-and from year to year.
Since the Bill of Rights adopted, 159 years
ago today, there has perhaps never been time
when so great hazard threatened the full and
continued enjoyment of these precious liberties.
"A crushing military setback at the hands of one
foe and the knowledge that stronger enemy turks in
the future Obviously, if the United States over
powered by totataran aggressor, the Bill of Rights
would be wiped out of existence
whether we can win in the conflict which faces us
is grave question.
This, however, is certain: The Bill of Rights is a
bulWark OF strength Our nation will gain strength bv
closer adherence to it's and noble concept 1t will lose
strength as the freedoms nibbed away or COM
pletely destroyed
ITO be specific, the nation is losing much of it's
potential strength both in morale and in actual pro-
ductive manpower by not permitting Negroes to enjoy
all the rights in the Bill of Rights on full and eoua
basis with white citizens.
Discrimination and segregation deprive the nation
of the full usefulness of nearly tenth of the popula
tiOn
Besides, the impairments of their rights make
some Negroes wonder whether the United States is
worth fighting for Fortunately most of them realize
they're better off here than they would be anywhere
else, they do their part far they're allowed to-
But they might work harder and more effectively if
they knew the Constitution and all it's amendments an
piled to them, too"

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F, BELL

How Do You Look? No rigid
shoulders in the beauty lineup.
They should, of course, be erect
and strong, but never stiff. When
shoulders are carried or held in
a stiff manner, this places strain
on the back of the neck which in
turn may effect the nerves and
cause headache. This too, can re-
suit in nervous fatigue.
Even though the going is pretty
rough now through these troubled
times, we must keep ourselves up
and at it-ready for work and
more work. But at the same
time, remember to grant yourself
a bit of relaxation. This we must
do to remain healthy and beauti-
ful as we'll as to retain our pleas
ant disposition.
We are ever in search of beauty,
so keep in mind that we can only
succeed in so far as we have a
balance between our work and
play. Relaxation, along with work
means so much in keeping lovely
and youthful.
Have you noticed that when you
are tired, tense and nervous your
looks suffer? | must emphasize
that it is at such times that one
can be most unbeautiful.
What will you say when your
good looks disappear? Do not
stand by idly while your energy
slowly departs for the results will
be:
Lines will appear in your Ease;
your countenance and your figure
will reflect the terrific strain and
tension that you are forcing upon
yourself.
That is the true picture girls,
now How Do You Look? Better
than an answer, suppose you just
act.
