German Jurists
Visit Juvenile
Court Here

Four eminent German jlrists
visiting the United States at the
invitation of the State Department
spent a day last week al; the
Montgomery County Juvenile Court
over which Judge Alfred yoyes
presides.
Visiting the United States and
interested particularly in Juvenile
problems were Judge Erdsiek, vice
president of the Court of Appeals
of Celle; Judge Hedwig Maier, the
only woman in the group, of Tul-
niger, who is also teacher lat
school for social workers; Dr.. Eb-
erhard Mcneil, a professor Of law
at the University of Hamburg, and
Dr.. Boeminghaus, who is taking
graduate work in law at George
town University at the present
time.
Inclusion of the Montgomery
County court on the schedule of
the visitors was a recognitijn of
the professional excellence Of the
work done by the staff and the
Judge in meeting juvenile problems
in the county.
In the course of their visit the
Germans attended regular hearings
and lisened intently to the way in
which Judge Noyes handled the
cases that came before him. Of
particular interest was session
of regular bi-weekly conference
conducted by the Judge with rep
resentatives of all welfare agencies
in the county.
Present at the conference we're
members of the pupil personnel de-
partment of the Department of
Welfare Board, the Social Service
Education, representatives of the
League, the Mental Hygiene Clinic,
psychiatric social worker and the
staff of the Juvenile Court.
The German lawyers were par
ticularly impressed by the discus
sion which took place. The prob
lens of individual children we're
brought up and handled in a CO.
operative manner. According to
Judge Noyes this method prevents
many cases which would otherwise
come before the Court.

Monsters and PhOOey!

Things have to a pretty pass indeed when ru-
float around the County Seat which have monsters
with flaming eyes, standing at least eleven feet high who
have nothing better do than little children to death
The stupid and idotic tales which have come to our
ears in the past weeks all related with relish by adults
should BETTER have told of people whose clothes
have been burned by this horror They have said certain
local children hospitals parayzed after being touched
by green who supposed to nhabt wooded
in many parts of town. They have sad in great earnest
ness schools permitting students to leave the
school buildings at recess and that hurryu meetings
being called by various parent-teacher groups.
This is to state that stupid and ignorant adults guilty
Of spreading this bosh should be required stand in the
Court House Square in couple of Ounce caps strung
up by their thumbs on the nearest clothes line.
1t is to report that these stupid apparently
started when imaginative child Vers Mill Road
ported seeing couple of big eyes in field The big

interest a recent TV program.

Surprise!
Business Group
Wants Council to
Buy ArmOry Lot

The Silver Spring Board of
Trade came up with surprise for
the County Couucil this week when
t suggested $hO,000 of its Bust
ness District Parking Lot Fund
be used to purchase the Armory
lot in Silver Spring.
The controversial armory lot is
center of a dispute between the
Council and the Park and Planning
Commission which now has posses
sion of it.
The county brought suit to re
gain title to the lot but Circuit
Court Judge Charles w. Woodward
dismissed the action.
The commission has indicated i
may go ahead and sell the lot while
the circuit court ruling is being
appealed by the council.
The Board of Trades action lief
the Council in an embarrassing
position. The money the boarC
wants to use must be borrowed b.
the county which CLAIMS the lot al
ready rightfully belongs to it.

Campaign Platforms

We offer our favorite campaign platform which
resulted the recent election of the mayor of small town
in Italy.
This gentleman went out and told the voters he would
do one thing He said if elected he would that
erected in the center of town Pnoccho the
little wooden figure who became real live boy He said
he figured monument past due to the little fellow since
it him that the town Inhabited by the voters
the town in which Pnocchio had to life and through
him had gained considerable fame
The electoneerng gentleman had lot of competition
from his opponents who spoke in fine phrases of many fancy
things But he them ALL hands down, and the
monument to Pnocchio is under construction.
In that story there may be lesson for the candidates
in the 1852 elections in these United States of America
In short voters not interested in arflung theories
which end up bunch of statistics they in simple
things that become accomplished facts in the shortest
sible time.

State Collects Record Receipts for
Gasoline Taxes, Comptroller Says

~ For the first time in the history
of the Gasoline Tax Division of the
State Comptroller's Office gross
receipts exceeded $4,000, 900 in the
last fiscal year according to a report
of b. F. Nossel, Chief of the Divi-
sion to J. Willard Tawes, State
Comptroller.
The report cited the continuing
upward trend of collections in re-
cent years which has resulted in
the all-time collection-fgure of
$30,274, 440.97 for the past fiscal
year. After the payment of admin
istrative expenses and the retention
of $4,000 for refund purposes,
$28, 0,070.12 was distributed to
the State Roads Commission, coun-
ties and municipalities and Balti-
more City.
The roads commission received
S14,025, 035.06, the counties and
municipalities S5,610,S14.04 and
Baltimore City SS,415,021.02.
The report also called attention
to the fact that although the cost
of administration increased by APP
proximately 100000 during the
yrar due largely to salaries, the
cost of administering the Motor
Vehicle Fuel Tax is still less than
three-tenths of one percent. This
low cost of administration is in
herent in the nature of the motor
Vehicle fuel tax-according to j..
Willard Tawcs, the State Comptrol-
Ter, and he states that this tax
continues to be the most economical
Of all taxes to administer
During the year the number of
sources from which tax revenue was
derived showed a considerable in
crease due to the inception of the
motor carriers reciprocal tax and
to an increase in the number of
registered Diesel users and sellers.
Despite the substantial increase
in the number of sources, however,
9S.4 per cent Of the total revenue
was collected. from moter-vehicle

DOwncOunty Hysteria
The council Tuesday called in
supervisor of assessments Wilton
T. Allen to discuss with him meth
DDS of combating the upsurge of
protest and the "misunderstand-
ing" of homeowners.
Mr.. Allen calmly told the council
the present "hysteria" in the down
county area was no worse than it
was in 1913. He previously had
warned residents they would re-
ceive an average 25 per cent in
crease in assessments.
Many residents, however, are
complaining of receiving assess
ments from so to 80 per cent high
er than their 1948 figures.
Mr.. Alien explained Tuesday the
sharp increases were due to the
fact the I948 figure was based on
1941 market values while this
years assessments are taking into
consideration the market value TO-
day. He said the downcounty resi-
dents had just been fortunate for
the last four years.
Councilman Grover Walker has
little sympathy for the suburban
ties. He noted that since the 1949
assessment in the Upper County,
farmers had been paying on 1949
values and not 1941.
Up County Break
Upper County residents are now
due tor break though. Under the
new law, no reassessments will he
put on the books after this year
until 1857 when all. property will
be reassessed.
County Manager Irving G. Me-
Nayr also feels the council is I'M
duly concerned about the protests.
But the county manager was not
much in agreement with council
members who pointed out that in
creased assessments could possibly
bring about a decrease in the tax
rate.
Mr.. McNayr said theoretically
this is true, but he added, in Mont
gomery County where a tremen-
dous continuing growth increases
the demand for services, it is I'M
likely that any sharp decrease in
the tax rate is forthcoming.
Mr.. McNayr also pointed out
that school services alone this year
take $l.56 of the $2.10 tax rae.
He added it appears unlikely that
1.-THE demand for new schools and
expansion of teaching staffs and
other facilities is going to drop of
in the next year.
Dean Hayden in his letter, con-
coded that the council could not
dictate to the assessors office, but
he suggested they try to use q
little persuasion to bring about 8
relaxation of the reassessment
policy.

Mr.. Truman's announcement
represented the first affirmative
step he has taken publicly toward
reelection. In recent months he
has parted all press queries and
other efforts to determine his fu-
ture political intentions.
Significantly, the President
made his announcement to coin
eide with a Washington meeting
of top Democratic leaders, some
of whom were known to have
urged him to display his intention,
either by a message or personal
conference.
MI. Truman said that he had
thought earlier that "it would be
better for my name not to appear
on any ballot at this time as a
candidate for President until I am
ready to make an announcement
as to whether | shall seek re-elec-
tion." He added:
"But the chairman of the Dem

many good Democrats in New
Hampshire are of the opinion that
my name should be left on the
ballot. At either suggestion, there

The even-membe executive committee of the Dem

The group is hoping that Mr.. Truman will give some

In Ohio the Democratic State committee voted yes

automatically reduces the number Of full votes available
to Kefauver forces to four, since he is contesting for only
eight of the at-large delegates.
Sen. Taft has announced that he expects to win all of
Ohio's Sc convention delegates, although a full slate of
