Communist Congress
Told Russian Troops
Will Get Better Arms
BY the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 10.-The Soviet
Unions War Minister has told the
All-Soviet Communist Party Con-
gresS that new and better arms
are in store for Russia's armies.
The minister, Marshal Alexan-
der M. Vasilevsky. told the con-
gress the Soviet Unions new
1lve-year plan - approved by
the congress yesterday-would
strengthen in still greater degree
the economic base for active
defense Of the nation"
"And there is no doubt" Vasi-
levSky continued, that our scien-
tific workers in developing further
industrial equipment Of the Soviet
Union will on this base create still
more perfected models of war
equipment and arms"
Vasilevsky spoke to the con-
greSS on Tuesday but his speech
was not printed in full in the
Moscow press until today.
Command Changes Studied.
After approval of the five-year
plan yesterday, the meeting of top
Communists from throughout the
Soviet Union and the world was
scheduled today to take up pro-
posed changes in the organization
Of the party's top command.
These changes include the set
ting up of a presidium as the
party's chief policy body, in place
of the present Politburo. II
The new economic plan. which
got underway last year, calls for
a boost in total Soviet industrial
production by the end Of 1855 to
70 per cent over the 1850 output.
VaSileysky disclosed that 80 per
cent Of all Soviet army officers
from the rank of company COM
mander up and so per cent Of the
entire officers reserve corps are
veterans of World War II.
Officers Mostly Party Members.
More than IS per cent of the
Soviet army's generals and officers
are members of the Communist
Party or the Komsomols-the
party's youth organizations, he
added.

The speaker was Mrs. PAX Den

THE Korean people and heroic

Labor Party and beloved leader
Kim Il Sung (premier of North
Korea), are filled with determina-
tion to obtain final victory over
the hated enemy" she said.
The leading Soviet delegate who
spoke was A. I. Mikoyan, a Po-
litburO member and expert on
foreign trade. who claimed that
present foreign trade of the
Soviet Union was three times that
of 1910. He said the increase was
largely due to a bigger exchange
Of goods with the peoples de-
mocracies."
AS announced at the Moscow
sponsored international economic
conference here last April. this
trade now amounts to 18 billion

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
Oct. 10.-This is the big day at
the Calvert County Fair. an ad-
mission-free exhibit entirely de-
voted to agriculture and the
household arts and crafts.
Samples of prize tobacco have
the place of prominence. Calvert
County. the long peninsula be-
tween Chesapeake Bay and the
tidal flow of the Patuxent, has
been tobacco country for more
than 800 years.
There are long rows of perfect
ears of hybrid corn, and the rest
of the exhibits in the one big shed
are devoted to the products of the
garden and the home.
Judging Scheduled.
Both dairy and beef breeds OF
cattle and coops Of chickens are
being transported to the fair for
the judging today.
Robert M. Hall, the county
agent. says the change in agricul-
ture locally is largely the use of
more and more land for grazing
beef cattle. The county has only
two or three dairy farms and the
cost of building barns and equip
ping them to meet the standards
of Washington inspection dis
courages any increase.
But I don't think we will ever
be much of a cattle country" Mr..
Hall said. "The tobacco culture
gave us pattern of small farms
and you have to have a lot OF
acreage for CATTLE"

Montgomery Protests
|0f Home Assessments
Strike Legal Snag


owners who intend to protest in
creased reassessments on grounds
their neighbors' assessments are
lower will be wasting their time.
The County Appeal Tax Court
pointedly noted yesterday that it
will hear appeals in the light of
"a recent Circuit Court ruling by
Judge Stedman Prescott.
Judge Prescott ruled a home
owner who admits his assessment
is below the full cash value of his
property cannot seek a reduction
on such grounds unless he charges
the assessment was made in q
fraudulent or discriminatory
manner. All new assessments are
said to be at so to so per cent
Of actual value.
Court Goes to Work.
With the increasing din over the
new assessments. the appeal tax
court began work yesterday on the
first batch of more than 500 pro-
tests filed. The existing stockpile
comes from only $500 assessments
mailed out Of $1,000 to be COM
Ipleted this year in the metropol-
itan area.
Yesterdays hearings also
brought a warning that some resi-
dents are considering moving out
Of the county because of the pros
lpect of rapidly rising tax bills.
Chester Rightor, $40 Rolling
road, Chevy Chase. sounded the
warning as he appeared to protest
property assessments that he sale
have jumped from 8 cents to 8:
cents a square foot in nine years
Mr.. Rightor also reiterated
charges of Republican Congress
Sional Candidate Dewitt S. Hyde
that other areas in the State hat
set assessments between IS and 81
per cent Of actual values compared
with Montgomery's target Of so tt
so per cent.
Members of the court, however
told Mr.. Rightor that no survey
yet had proved these suspicious.
VIII Hear Protests.
The court yesterday formally
agreed to hear q group protest
from some 100 homeowners ir
Brookdale who claim their recent
assessments jumped as high a!
120 per cent over 1948 appraisals
The hearing is slated for lis pm
Thursday.
The court yesterday spent ma.
jor portion of its time explaining
to obJecting citizens the pro-
cedure of assessing and in ar.
ranging conferences between as.
SCISSORS and the protestants.
The court repeatedly told Cit,
zens it had nothing to do with the
assessment law itself. The court
decides if there has been an errol
in computation or in the use o1
the assessment formula.
The courts decision can be ap.
lpealed to the State tax commits
sion either by the homeowner OF
by Wilton T. Allen, supervisor ot
assessments.

Virginia Drive Pressed
10 Unite Democrats
Behind Stevenson
By John v. Horner

Pressure is being applied to re-
luctant Virginia Democrats to get
behind Gov. Stevenson's candidacy
for President.
The move Immediately stirred
speculation over Democratic con-
Germ for a national ticket that
lacks backing from some of the
most prominent party workers in
the State.
The call for all Virginia DEM
ocrats lin Office and out Of office"
to rally behind the Stevenson
Sparkman slate was sounded by
the Fredericksburg City Demo-
cratic Committee and relayed
through State party headquarters
in the form Of a resolution.
Although Stevenson campaign
headquarters at Richmond made
no comment as it released the res
olution, the call appeared to be
directed at Senator Byrd and for
mer Gov. William M. Tuck, who
have been silent since the Chicago
conventions.
Glass Swings to G. O. p.
Other influential Democrats
are advocating the election of
Gen. Eisenhower on the Republi-
can ticket. Among the latest to
come out for the general is Carter
Glass. jr., Lynchburg newspaper
publisher who formerly was a
Democratic member Of the Vir-
ginia Senate. His father, the late
Carter Glass. was Secretary of
the Treasury under Woodrow
Wilson before becoming United
States Senator.
Broyhill Attacks Opponent.
In neighboring 10th District Of
Virginia, Republican Joel T. Broy-
hill charged last night that his
Democratic opponent for the
House "is deliberately trying to
deceive our people into believing
that he is a died-in-the-woo
JetferSonian Democrat"
The charge was hurled at Ed.
mund D. Campbell at a G. O. p.
rally in Alexandria.
IF Mr.. Campbell were the
Southern Democrat he pretends to
BE-" said Mr.. Broyhill, "he would
not have the unqualified support
.of the CIO and the left-wing
Americans for Democratic Action. .
Campbell Stresses Gains.
In talk last night over Sta
tion WMAL-TV. Mr.. Campbell
said he is pround of social gains
made under Democratic admin
istrations. While this country
must continue to make such prog
ress, he cautioned that I'VE must
always remember that we live un-
der a Constitution which pre-
scribes limits to Federal power and
which reserves important func-
tions to the States and to the
people"
MY opponent would offer you
an easy and painless solution of
our national problem" he said of
Mr.. Broyhill. From his speeches
he appears to be saying, elect him
and he will abolish your taxes and
guarantee peace.
IF that were true, I'd be vot-
ing for him. myself. He has
never told us how he would per-
form this magic"

port from members of Congress.
He urged that Federal workers
write. and even visit. their legis-
|lators wherever possible to obtain
these pledges.
Mr.. Ramspeck denounced the
practice of legislation by rider on
appropriation bills as a vicious
one.
He sounded a warning that.
unless Federal employees and their
groups succeed in defeating this
practice, there will be more and
more personnel restriction riders
adopted by Congress.
"The time will come when all
Legislation affecting Government
workers will be achieved by
riders on appropriation bills
unless the practice is stopped
right now," Mr.. Ramspeck de-
clared.
The present trend, If continued
would destroy most employe bene-
fits, Mr.. Ramspeck warned.
Legislation by rider is con-
trary to the spirit of the United
States Constitution, because it de-
nies the right of petition" Mr.
Ramspeck said.
He pointed out that legislation
by rider bypasses the rightful
jurisdiction of the House and Sen
ate Civil Service Committees and
denies employees and their lead
ers the right to be heard on vital
personnel legislation. The cur
rent practice of attaching riders
to appropriation bills, without
giving employees a chance to be
heard in opposition, poses a seri-
Gus threat to Federal employe
benefits, the commission chief de-
clared.

Question: Clipped out all loose

but I still have water seeping
through the walls down to the
cellar whenever there is driving
rain. What can I do to remedy
this condition?
Answer: Make sure that all
joints between the brick wall and
the window frames are well
caulked and then coat the brick
work with a liquid transparent
waterproot1ng, preferably the type
that contains siliconeS. I am as
Suming. of course. that the new
mortar is in good condition, and
that there are no cracks or breaks
in the masonry walls. This liquid
waterproofing is generally sold by
dealers in masonry materials.
Question: One of our rooms was
built of cement blocks and the in
terror walls were finished with
sand plaster. We want to paint
them but in cold or damp weather
there are spots that feel wet. In
very cold weather frost collects in
corners. Is there any way we can
treat these walls before painting,
and what kind of paint should we
use?
Answer: If the plaster was ap-
piled directly on the concrete
blocks, the only way this condi-
ton can be eliminated is by fur
ring out the present walls to Gre
ate an air space and then cover
ing the Turing strips with lath
