Survey Report
Due Nov. | on
County Setup
Field Work Finished
On Prince Georges
Government Function

Field work on a survey of the
Prince Georges County govern
ment has been completed, and a
report suggesting organizational
and functional changes is ex-
pected about November /.
Officials of the survey firm so
informed the county commission
ers yesterday. when the board met
in Upper Marlboro.
The report, it is generally con-
ceded, is likely to shape the
county's governmental destiny for
generations.
It will cap a long and bitter
fight between civic groups who de-
manded the probe and Democratic
leaders who opposed it.
Partly as result of their oppo-
sition, the 25-year-old Democratic
regime was ousted last November
in a Republican landslide.
Camille D. Andre, project super
visor for the Public Administra-
ton Service, which conducted the
$25,000 inquiry, refused to forecast
Month for Analysis.
Yesterday, as his member
staff packed up data gathered
since April %, Mr.. Andre said
compilation and analysis will re-
quire at least one month in the
firms Chicago office.
His experts and a few consul
tantS. he declared, have studied
all departments of the existing
government and related manage
ment services.
What they found and what they
believe is needed to effect i'm
provement will be disclosed in a |
summary, 500 copies of which are
to be printed and distributed
among civic organizations.
While Mr.. Andre made it clear
that speculation on the subject
must be "pure crystal gazing"
there were hints from various
sources that the report will have
something to say on home rule or
council-manager government.
Bitter Battle Possible,
If the survey suggests a charter
form OF government for Prince
Georges similar to that in Mont
gomery, battle of the first class
is likely to ensue. That form of
government is the goal of the
county'S Civic Federation and
League of Women Voters. But it
is anathema to politicians of both
major parties.
Another sharp struggle NAV
develop if the survey report
suggests changes in the county's
police system. There have been
predictions that the report will say
that police efficiency would be
improved by establishment of a |
unified county force under a |
single command. This would
mean abolition Of town police
departments and would relieve the
sheriff's Office of all but civil
duties.
Repaving Contract Approved.
The commissioners yesterday
approved a contract for repaving
Of Belford street and Belford
drive in Hampshire Knolls near
the District. The contract was
made conditional upon receipt by
the county of $4,000 offered by
the Kass Realty Co. as its share
Of the cost of storm drainage
line.
A pay raise for school teachers
was indorsed in a letter to the
board from the Carole Highlands
Citizens Association. The board
withheld comment until an audit
Of the county's books is completed.
The auditors report, due next
week, is expected to reveal the
exact amount of the county's
surplus.

Price Of Linseed Oil Cut
"A Cent and a Half a Pound
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, June 15.-The
price Of linseed oil was reduced
~ cents a pound today. The cur
rent price on the basis Of New
York delivery In tank cars June
through December is 1873 cents q
pound.
Dealers said this reflects the
sharp decline In cash flaxseed at
Minneapolis where the current
price Is $3.50 a bushel compared
with a high Of $4.95 in March.
Despite the sharply reduced
prices. crushers reported that the
demand for linseed oil continues
slow with buyers needs satisfied
for the next several months. In
some cases buyers are booked for
the next four months.
Traders said that the current
favorable outlook for oil-bearing
seeds also is q factor behind the!
declining prices of linseed and
linseed oil.

Gains by Oil Stocks
Encourage Market
To General Advance
~ II. A.seeio,sd Pres,

NEW YORK, June 15.-Sub-
stantial gains made by oil issues
today in the Stock Market encour-
aged a general advance.
Oils pushed ahead to an OUT
side limit of q bit more than 50 a
share. The rest Of the market
showed gains among leaders rum
ming to almost 81.
Trading progressed at the fast
est pace Of the week with volume
expanded mostly by oils and some
steels and motors.
Rails were up fractionally. There
was disappointment among bulls
over the failure Of the railroad d.
vision to join in the advance in a
vigorous manner. These bulls feel
that the Stock Market would be
on firmer footing If the railroads
confined the rise Of the industrial
section.
Persistent popularity of the oils
is being traced in Wall Street to
"a great variety Of sources. Among
them are forecasts that billion
gallons of gas viii be burned up
|by summer motorists; high cur
rent production and earnings, and
bright future prospects. There
also is school that believes some
buying comes from persons put
ting their money in the ground
to hedge against infiation-in-
lvesting in oil still in the ground
which can be produced and sold
regardless of infiationary-prices.
