ST. Million Is Asked
by u. Of Virginia for
Building Projects
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Sept.
22.-President Colgate w. Darden
yesterday presented the visiting
State budget makers with a S.
$4,000 capital outlay program
for the University of Virginia.
Later. Gov. Battle expressed the
belief Virginia will be able to meet
all essential needs for the next
two years without increasing
taxes.
In an open letter to Gov. Bat
tie, Mr.. Darden said the building
plans are designed ito bring
about substantial change in the
relationship which exists between
the university and the public
school system and to provide
first-rate facilities for instruc-
ton.
Table Shows Spending.
The letter included a table
showing all funds spent by the
university for buildings since its
founding in 1924 until 1949. This
table was drawn up by former
President John Lloyd Newcomb
The total spent in the 125-yeal
period was $9,024,277. OF thi:
amount the State of Virginia con.
tributed $2,131,515, while the re.
mainder came from gifts anc
loans. The States appropriation
included $1,293,2 ,204 for the med
ical school and hospital, and $685..
370 for all other buildings.
Requests Listed.
Requests presented yesterday in
clude So million to replace the
non-f1reproof wings of the hos
pital 100000 for a student unior
building with $365,00O to be re-
appropriated; 81 million for g
life science building: $4,000 tt
complete a women's dormitory
$50,000 for plans for chemistry
building; $4,000 for storm sewers;
$75, 900 for furnishing; $4,000 fol
law books and $4,000 for audi.
ology equipment.
Mr.. Darden emphasized that
these appropriations cover work
which cannot be postponed. Addi-
ltional funds, he said, are needed
for construction that can be put
off until a later date.
In asking for So million fol
hospital construction to replace
two of the wings built half a CEN
jtury ago, Mr.. Darden noted that
West Virginia and Maryland nave
appropriated larger sums for med
Iical centers in recent years. North
Carolina spent $9.552,000 for med
Iical centers in the last four years
more than the University OF
Virginia has spent for that pur-
lpoSe in 125 years.

In Maryland Facing
Fight Over Leadership
BY the Assoeioied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. GA tug
of-war over who should lead them
during the next year faced dele
gates to the convention of the
Maryland Young Democratic Clubs
today.
sButtonholing among the 100
was being done vigor-
ously by supporters of States
James C. Morton, jr., of
Anne Arundel County, and Francis
J. Vale of Baltimore.
Mr.. Morton is reported to be
backed by the present leadership,
outgoing President Edward D.
Storm of Frederick, and Treasurer
Joseph D. Tydings of Hartford
County.
Wrangle Over Chairman.
The delegates wrangled yester-
day over selection of a chairman
for their two-day meeting. State
Senator Frederick C. Malkus. jr.,
of Dorchester County finally was
chosen, 33 to "a, over David c.
Kaufman of Cumberland.
Last night, they heard the Fed
eral administration strongly sup
ported by Senator Kefauver, Dem
ocrat, of Tennessee.
He told a banquet gathering at
Friendship Airport that Demo
Gratis have had the courage to put
the spotlight on bad conditions
wherever they are found" He
charged the Republicans with
failure to clean their own house.
Loyalty Program Defeated.
The Tennessee Senator also de-
Tended President Truman's loyalty
program, saying the administra-
ton has vigorously enforced
plans" to fire Communists.
"Smearing good Americans is
not the way to do it," he main
tanned. 1--WE want to do it by
decent constitutional processes"
Without mentioning names, he
said some enemies of the admin
Iistration who do the most talking
about Communists have failed the
administrations strong efforts to
deal with the spread of commu-
nism in the world"
Senator Kefauver also put in
plugs for his successor as chair
man of the Senate Crime Com
mittee, Senator O'Conor, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, and former
Senator Tydings.
1T would be unthinkable if the
vote IN Maryland were not 2 to l
for Herbert O'Conor next year,
he said.
OF Tydings, he said, Il regret,
as 1 know you did. that he was so
unjustly defeated at the last elec-
ton"

Prince Georges Audit
UphoIds Both Deficit
And Surplus Views

Whether Prince Georges Coun-
ty has surplus or a deficit to-
day appears wholly a matter of
viewpoint.
When its balance sheet is pre-
pared under rules governing usual
accounting procedure, the county
has a surplus of nearly 81 mil
lion.
But when assets and liabilities
are listed in accordance with
Maryland's uniform system of ac-
counting, as is required by stat
ute. the final balancing figure is
a deficit of 1858. 1868.
A Baltimore firm of certified
public accountants yesterday SUBJ
mitted the latter figure to the
county commissioners at their
meeting at Upper Marlboro. 1t
was labeled as the county's met
deficit in operating funds"
Findings Accepted.
The report, signed by Edgar V.
Loweree and Martin Barily, men,
bers of the firm, was released by
Board Chairman Thomas E. Lati-
mer, after he and his colleagues
had formally accepted its find
ingS.
In computing the red-ink fig
ure, the accountants added an
operating deficit" of $2,748,5 ,555. 81
in Metropolitan Area and special
improvement district fund ac-
counts to deficit of S442, ,966 81
in road fund accounts.
From the resulting total of S.
19l ,522.23, they deducted a gen
eral fund operating surplus" OF
$2,231,535.25 to obtain the final
figure.
THE operating deficit" a re-
port footnote said, "is due en-
tirely to the application of the
deficits in the road fund. Metro
politan Area and special improve
ment districts. The net deficit of
$959, 1886 .98 at June 80, 1851, COM
pares with a similar deficit OF
$1,618,626.88 at June 30, 1880"
Viewpoint Is Joker.
An official of the incumbent Re-
publican administration, which
has maintained that the county
has deficit, said yesterday that
version is correct from one stand
point"
But the official, who is familiar
with the county's finances. con-
ceded that contentious of the old
Democratic regime of a 81 million
surplus are based on practical
premises.
1.-The JOKER" he declared Lies
in differing viewpoints as to what
entries should be made in record
ing Metropolitan Area and spe-
cial improvement district transac-
tions."
He explained. that these &C.
counts list as liabilities obligations
incurred in financing road, stree
and curb improvements, but dt
not show the improvements a
assets.
Liabilities Reflected.
In the case of metropolitan
Area and special Improvement dis
trict disbursements. only the liza
bility is reflected on the book
because the uniform accountin,
system bans entries of these type
on the credit side. Several rea
sons are given for this procedure
among them the supposition tina
such improvements are not mar
ketable.
If they could be capitalized, tn,
official said, the conjectured S
million surplus would become in
disputable reality.
| Before discussion of the repor
began the commissioners awarded
a $4,000 contract to the Mont
gomery Construction Co. for i'm
Iprovements in the Avondale are;
