James j. Hayden, Dean of Col
umbus Law School, and Chevy
Chase resident who was one OF the
drafters of the charter, said the
extraordinary increases in real
estate property assessments in the
county is bringing down the wrath
of thousands of home owners"
Dean Hayden was speaking first
hand as to knowledge of the in
creased assessments. His own horle
was reassessed this year 100 per
cent higher than the 1913 value.
Comeback Possible
The charter leader said it was
mot at all impossible that County
Organization Democrats who have
either objected to the new charter
or who have been lukewarm on the
subject, may make comeback in
the 1854 elections"
Such a comeback, he fears,
might be made on an economy pro-
gram.
Dean Hayden noted one of his
strongest arguments for the char
ter was that it would bring more
economical government and would
make the taxpayers dollar go Far
ther.
He explained, however, he real
ized the county has had to spend
millions on the county school build
ing program, better police and fire
protection and library services.
Dean Hayden said these expen-
SEES were necessary for progress,
but he warned that increases In
assessments Should not be so vio-
lent at any one time to arouse a
formidable number of taxpayers to
the point where they may seek re-
lief in an angry mood"
"A lot of voters will remember
that under the Democratic regime
the tax rate was kept at a low
figure and thew may FORGET that
the bonded debt rose rapidly be-
cause of refunding policies" he
said.
Charter at Stake y
He said the return to power Of
organization Democrats might ZEN
danger the continued operation Of
the Charter Government bv those
who really believe that the new
charter is a far better basis than
the old Commissioners system"
The County Council obviously is
upset by the rising tide of protest
over the increased assessment in
the suburban section. Councilmen,
however, refuse to accept respon-
sibility for the assessment proce-
dure which is set by state law. Mrs.
Kathryn j. Lawlor noted Tuesday
that councilmen had urged the law

In a talk before the Women's
Democratic Club, held at the Con-
gressional Country Club, Mrs.
Werner said the Whispering cam
paign" accuses her of being in fav-
OF of "so-called socialized medi-
cine" and that literature connect
led with the campaign states she
, has come out openly as the $50
cialistic candidate. She said she
wanted her position made clear so
that whispers can be met "by
talking out loud"
The whispering campaign"
Mrs. Werner charged, has been in
stigated by the opponents to her
election.
In stating her views on the sub
ject, Mrs. Werner asserted:
II believe it is good that very
few babies now die of diptheria.
l believe it is good that less than
half as many people now suffer
from tuberculosis as did in 1920.
These changes were brought about
by research in preventive medi-
cine combined with public health
programs which control communi-
cable diseases. Some of the re-
search was possible because fed
eral tax money paid for it. Other
federal tax money has saved count
less lives by teaching people how
to avoid smallpox, typhoid fever
and other preventable diseases. !

School Board
Workers Pay
Cut Scored

The County Council this week
scored the school board for trying
to blame the council for per cent
cut made in salaries of secretarial
and clerical workers in the county
schools.
The pay slash last weekend near
ly brought on a walkout by the
school employees affected. The
strike was ayerted by promise
of school officials to study means
of restoring the pay cut within
the next two weeks.
School officials said the slash was
necessitated by the failure of the
County Council to provide $751; ,935
requested for the services by the
board. The board said the amount
was cut back $26,935 by the council
in it's budget appropriation.
County Manager Irving G.Mc-
Nayr said the board failed to point
out that the amount appropriated
| Was 5OHlc PS,OOOl IlOIC IudIi Wds al
was some $21 900 more than wai
allotted for the serices last year.
Council members were disturbed
by the boards attempt to shift the
blame to them for the slash. They
said the matter was strictly ar
administrative function whic h
should have been carried out by
the board.
Mr.. McNayr also noted that
school officials said they believed
they could find some $4,000 needed
to reinstate the pay cut. He added
there apparently had been some
padding in the budget request since
some $4,000 sought was not ac-
counted for.
The budget slash affected clerical
and secretarial employees in most
of the county schools. The threat
ened failure to return to work Mon
day was averted after conferences
with the employees over the week.

Give Till Ii Hurts
The Communists

The disease of Communism, like most diseases,
must have a suitable subject or culture IN which
10 grow. Healthy bodies, even social bodies seldom
fall victim to disease A disease by its very nature
thriyes only where the way has been prepared for
IL by some debilitating circumstance or condition,
The condition which most readily aids the spread
OF Communism throughout the world is dire poverty
and all the concomitant evil which follows in its
wake. A political body or ethnc group which has
been utterly impoverished and morally weakened
by the ravages of war will grab at anything which
even dmly promises some kind of relief
Starving homeless people are inclined to waste
little time in arguing the more abstruse philosoph
ieal merits of political system as long as II prom
ises to relieve the pressing ills which afflict them
That explains the apparent triumphal march of
Communism through China, North Korea, the Balk
ans Eastern Germany and some parts of Italy
since the close OF the last war II is a disease feed
ing weakened body
We have the cure. shot in the arm you might
say, which is thousand times more effective than
shot in the head, even a Communist head
The Communist invaders won their initial vic.
tory on promises. Their ultimate downfall will be
the inability TO keep those promises
II the free world succeeds where the Communists
fail Communism viii have been dealt telling blow
Today there are millions of homeless starving
people wayering between our way Of life and the
Communist way OF death Every one of these poor
people who Is helped to live our way is dead to
communism
Our charity should never need worldly or tenn
poral enticements We cans help noticing them
though when they present II is an added in
ducement 10 be generous this Sunday i'm our con
tribution to the Bishops War Relief Fund To keer
in mind that there is one thing the Communist,
cannot battle-and that's our Charity.
