The appointments will be made

The resignation of the six
members two weeks ago left the

an investigation of the board
launched by the Council last
month. The six resigned and said
they would not agree to continue
on the board unless the investiga-
ton was stopped. The Council
accepted the designations.
For the past two weeks all School

DR.. Wilson said that in the
three weeks the program has been
under way, student interest has
raised his hopes of giving poten-

Much of the program is an ex-
tension of other classroom work
or permits students to work in the
field they have chosen as a
career.
Part of the value of the clubs
in DR.. Wilson's opinion, is that
they give students an opportu-

fields. There already have been

Budget Problem
Hasn'tEnded
For Congress
Even Heavier Spending
Will Be in Prospect
For Nation in 1853
By J. A. O'Leory

National defense, foreign affairs
and the budget are expected to
dominate the next session of Con-
|gress, starting January 8, as they
did this year.
The lawmakers, who appropri-
|ated more than $91 billion at this
session, will find another heavy
budget awaiting them on their
return. Although the $5.6 billion
new tax bill they approved re-
Gently will fall far short of putting
the defense program on a pay
|as-you-go basis, there is plenty
of room for doubt whether taxes
will be raised again next year.
The shadow of the approaching
1852 election will hang over the
Capitol during the next session
and will have its effect on nearly
every development. Some OF these
effects may be:
/. A desire to take the advice Of
Senator Nicely. Democrat, of West
Virginia to talk less and get
through before summer.
More Support for Economy.
2. More support for economy to
avoid another tax boost before
election.
The trend of world events dur
ing this two-month recess will
have a lot to do with shaping the
course of the next session. If the
world moves nearer to peace the
problems of the 1852 session
would be simplified. If tension
increases and the Korean strug-
gle is not concluded the next ses-
sion may be a duplicate of the re-
cent one.
Even if Congress is able to
taper of on new appropriation in
1852 it still will face an unbal-
anced budget because of the back
log of defense funds already au.
thorized but not yet paid out.
Peak Of Spending in 1853.
Because appropriations overlap
from year to year. the peak of
defense spending will not be
reached until 1853. Even with
the new tax bill, the Government
may pay out SIS billion more than
ut takes in for this fiscal year,
ending next June 30.
Indications are the deficit will
be much bigger in fiscal 1853 un.
less Congress raises taxes again.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee, who helps
write the tax bills, has said the
tax hike about to take effect No
Ivember ! is the last one he will
support unless all-out war de-
velopS.
On the eve of an election, many
lawmakers are likely to share his
view In the 1852 session. Once
the election is over, however, the
winners will have to face up to the
budget balancing problem, or see
the national debt go well above the
present S255 billion level.
Most members of Congress are
aready on the way to their homes.

Arlington Candidates
Ask Vigorous Action
On Utility Matters

The two Non-partisan candi-
dates for the Arlington County
Board today advocated "continu-
GUS aggressive action by the
County Board in public utility
matters"
Arlington citizens are paying
more than Washington residents
for almost every kind of utility
service, they said.
THE record shows that the Vir-
ginia State authorities have been
lax in protecting the residents OF
Arlington against excessive public
utility charges. T. Oscar Smith
and Alan L. Dean said in a pre-
pared statement. The County
Board, since the Non-partisans
obtained control. have been the
only strong force combating the
utility rates."
THE aggressive action taken by
the Arlington County Board
in establishing an expert full
time assistant to the Public Utili-
ties Commission has been attacked
as a waste of money. The expert
has already paid for himself many
times over in rate cases already
handled. And the comparison OF
rates showing the discrimination
against Arlington proves there is
a great deal more to do" the
statement concluded.
: A special message" issued by
the Citizens Committee for School
Improvement praised the records
of Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Dean in sup
port Of school improvements.
The message commented on the
