Woman S Suit Seeks
To Bar Vienna Mayor
From Acting as Judge

A suit to prohibit the Mayor
Of Vienna, Va, a Federal en-
ploye, from continuing to serve
as part-time police judge in the
town has been filed in Fairfax
Circuit Court.
The action is similar to a
recent successful suit against a
part-time Police Court Judge in
Herndon. Stanley B. Hanes, also
a Federal employe. Circuit Court
Judge Paul E. Brown on March 8
ruled against Mr.. Hanes, saying
that Government workers are
ineligible to hold State and local
Offices.
Mayor Is Budget Officer.
The Mayor of Vienna is Louis
N. Moore, 40, budget officer for
the National Capital Housing
Authority. He receives $50 a
month as Mayor and police
judge.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth B. Melby.
Her attorney, wise Kelly, jr.,
said the suit seeks to prevent
Mayor Moore from hearing a
reckless driving charge placed
against Mrs. Melby on March
Is. Mr.. Kelly said the court
has ordered the hearing con-
tinued until a ruling on the suit
is handed down.
The Town Council has called
q special meeting for 9 am.
Thursday to discuss the suit,
which might affect Mr.. Moore's
status as Mayor.
Attacked on Another Ground.
The validity Of Mayor Moore's
tenure IN office is also attacked
on another ground In the suit.
Mr.. Kelly says in fhe suit that
Mayor Moore is holding Office
illegally because he failed to take
the oath of Office on the day
specified BY State law, Septem-
Der l. That day was a holiday
last year when Mr.. Moore was
to take Office and he did not
take the oath until the next day.
In an election last June Mr..
Moore defeated former Mayor
Jack j. Nichols by q vote Of 152
to 128.

Hughes 10 Offer Bill
Requiring Tax Audit
By Fire Departments
BY q stuff Correspondent. Of Tn. s.or

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-A bill
requiring Prince Georges County
volunteer fire departments to
submit an annual audit of all
tax monies they receive was be-
ing prepared today for intro
duction in the Maryland Cen
eral Assembly.
Delegate William R. Hughes,
Republican, of Prince Georges
said he will propose the measure,
which is certain to face stiff
opposition from some firemen.
The bill was prepared by County
Attorney c. Calvert Lancaster
with the approval of Thomas E.
Latimer. president of the county
commissioners.
Mr.. Hughes said he believes
Prince Georges residents are en-
titled to know how their taxes
are spent. Other agencies re-
ceiving public funds-and, of
course, the commissioners them
selves-Submit their budgets to
annual audits. he added.
80 Companies Involved.
All 80 accredited county fire
companies would come under the
audit requirement. Under a bill
passed by this legislature and
signed by Gov. McKeldin, they
will begin receiving next fiscal
year $4,000 each in county aid.
In addition, "a companies re-
ceive part or all of special 10
cent fire taxes levied in their
areas and the municipal depart
ments receive town appropria-
tionS.
The measure Mr.. Hughes pro-
poses would consolidate all the
various laws regarding special
fire taxes into one law. His pro-
posed bill also would require the
fire departments to post bond
with the county commissioners
guaranteeing the faithful per-
Torrance Of their duties with re-
gard to expenditure" of tax mon
les.
Would Cut ChiIIum Tax.
Mr.. Hughes, meanwhile, an
nounced that he has decided to
amend his Chillum fire tax bill
to provide for an 8 rather
than q 10-cent fire tax in the
unincorporated area of the Chill
lum election district, subject to
referendum.
Specifically exempted from the
bill is q small area directly ad-
jacent to Takoma Park, bounded
by New Hampshire avenue,
Ethan Allen avenue and the Dis
trict line. which would pay a
special 12-cent fire tax for serv-
ices Of the Takoma Park Fire
Department.
Opposition developed to an
other fire tax bill introduced
here-the bill to set up a special
lO-cent fire tax in the Kent elec-
tion district to go to the Kent
land Volunteer Fire Department,
subject to q referendum.
Representatives of the Glenn
Dale Fire Department protested
to Senator j. r. Fletcher, Re-
publican. Of Prince Georges, that
they serve q large area Of the
Kent district and therefore
should be cut In on the tax pro-
ceeds. A 10-cent fire tax would
net about $12,300 in that dis
trict.

Sunday Closing
OF Bars Studied
By Delegates
Hearing Set Today;
Senote Group Works
On Cuts in Budget
BY the Asseeiatsd Pra,.


ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-To
drink or not to drink on Sunday,
that is the question that is ex-
pected to pack the House of
Delegates chamber today.
Hundreds are due to turn out
at a public hearing to debate a
bill that would close all bars
in Maryland on Sunday. The
House Alcoholic Beverages Com
mittee, conducting the airing,
has received hundreds Of letters
and postcards for and against
the proposal
Senators Work on Budget.
Meanwhile, the Senate FL
nance Committee kept hacking
at the budget behind closed
doors while anxious department
heads paced the corridors out
side. Chairman Goldstein's S
prophecy that his committee
would make even deeper cuts
than the House Ways and Means
Committees 81 million pairing
had them worried.
Mr.. Goldstein received a sound
rebuff from his colleagues last
night when they defeated. 1910,
his move to turn about 20 per
cent Of the States sales tax rev.
enues back to the counties.
Both Senate President Della
and Minority Leader Kimble re-
jected the proposal on grounds
the political subdivisions had no
right to dip into the States rev.
enues to line their own Golfers.
The Senate passed, without a
word of dissent, a bill already
approved by the House to legalize
bars in Ocean City. It now goes
to the Governor, whose sigma
ture will make it law.
The present law limits drink
ing in hotels and restaurants to
tables only and provides for
bottle sales at county dispensa-
rieS.
The House rejected a Repub-
lican attempt to permit the Gov
ernor to take State police ex-
penSes out of highway funds
a special fund-instead of using
the general funds.
Cuts Raise for Governor.
It also refused to agree to a
Senate amendment to increase
the Governors salary from
$4,000 to $4,000. The House
cut the raise to SIS, 900, and the
Senate put it back to $25, 900.
The bill appeared to be stale
mated for the present.
The House also rejected COM
plants to the proposal to in
crease hunting license fees for
residents to hunt in their own
counties from $1.25 to $1.5O and
for Statewide permits from $5.25
to Sc. The delegates approved
the higher fees, 1882, the first
increase since 1918.

Mr.. johnson said the school
board estimates it would require
a 25-cent increase in real estate
tax rate to amortiZe the SITS. 600
bond issue.
MIR. Woodbury. offered no fig
ureS on amortization costs of the
general improvement bond issue.
He cautioned the board, how
ever, on overbonding the city.
He said If both bond issues were
approved the city would be with
in $295, 900 of its total per-
missable bonded debt under

Mr.. Warner went to George
Washington University on a
scholarship as war clouds gath

little of school-teaching, and
even less of flying.
Pilot Training Opens Up.
He settled for a liberal arts
course when Pearl Harbor de-
cided things for him, momentar-
lily at least.
my first thought was when
I'll go and what I'll do." he
grinned.
The university's civilian pilot
training opened up a way. 1T

for me-ever entered my mind"
Before it was all over, he had
flown 81 different types Of planes

Mr.. Warner came back to

about being an architect. even

over but is being expanded for
this summer. Last summer, be-
fore camp opening, he adver-
tised for a registered nurse as
a camp aide.
Miss Ruth Hartley, then a
nurse at Georgetown University

Falls Church Hearing Ordered
On Two Bond Issues April 3

A public hearing on April 8,
on whether two bond issues,
totaling $1.2 million, will be
offered to Falls Church voters
this year was ordered last night
by the City Council.
One proposal would permit
residents to vote on a SITS, 600
bond issue for school construc-
tion. The other would set a
referendum on $500.O00 in gen.
eral improvement bonds for
street and storm sewer construc-
ton.
The school proposal was pre-
Sented to council members by
John A.. johnson, school board
chairman. He said the conStruc-
ton program would be aided by
Federal and State grants of
$261 800 and would provide for
minimum school needs up to
September 1855.
Other Proposal Boosted.
The general improvement bond
issue was proposed by City Man
ager w. r. Woodbury.. who sug-
gested a 100000 program.
Councilman Francis Wagner
urged this figure be increased to
$500, 900 and other council mem
berS agreed.
Mr.. Woodbury. said the funds
he asked for would provide only
a small fraction of the money
needed to modernize the city's
street and storm drainage e
systems.
Mr.. johnson said the current
pupil enrolment of 1870 is ex-
pected to Jump to 1861 by Sep
tember, 1866. He declared that
