examine the mass of figures in
cluded in the two volumes of the
annual County budget.
Furthermore, this mass of fig
ures is of little value without any
activity or program statement ex-
planning just how all of the money
requested for each department is
to be used. Without such infor-
nation, how can the public really
determine what services should be
rendered and at what cost? How
can we evaluate how much service
we are getting for our tax money?
"Such obstacles to an effective
public voice in the County's budget
have led us to ask Mr.. Allen to
carefully examine these and other
related problems with County of
ficials and with representatives Of
the. leading civic organizations
who concern themselves with the
annual County budget. We know
that these organizations share our
concern with these problems and
we believe that the County Council
and County Manager will welcome
improvements"
Mr.. Miller added that, "This is
only one of the many projects be-
ing undertaken by Montgomery
County Taxpayers, Inc. Although
we are still a new organization,
Montgomery County Taxpayers,
Inc. already represents members
whose property assessments cur
rently total more than forty mil
lion dollars. Being non-profit and
non-political in nature, we intend,
with professional assistance, to in
sure that all of the County's ac-
Invites are being run as efficiently
and economically as possible"
The directors of Montgomery

all sections of the County, as fol-
lows:

Polio

Continued from Page u
contributed to the Campaign. As
of December LIST, $53,O37 has been
expended for polio care during 1862
as follows: Hospital care-$28,2 27.,
Treatments = $10,737., Doctors
Fees - $4,353., Nursing Service =
1884, Braces, Shoes, etc. -
$3,0S7., Transportation - $679.OO.,
and clinic Visits $780,, In 1852,
there were SO cases of polio in the
County and SO required assistance
from the Montgomery County
Chapter. AZ cases were children
and 81 were adult cases. In 1851,
there were SO cases in the County
and 20 received aid from the local
Chapter. 1t must be remembered
that in some cases assistance must
be given be given over a period of
years. Special shoes, braces, ETC.,
must be changed and continued
therapy treatments are needed and
provided.
Volunteer members of the Mont
gomery County Chapter are hope
full that the response to the annual
appeal will be generous this year.
The record number of over $4,000
cases of polio throughout the coun-
try has exhausted both National
and local Chapter emergency funds
and, in addition,i has been pointed
out that the great scientific and
medical advances made during the
year mlust be adequately supported.
Through the development of new
serm, it is hoped that the fight on
polio will be won in the near fu-
ture. In the meantime, adequate
funds must be available for every
case in which such financial aid is
needed.

Benson Soil Plan
AssaiIed, Praised
AT House Hearinq
BY the Associoted Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son today came under a new
crossfire of criticism and praise
touched off by his reorganization
of the Soil Conservation Service.
Carrying on the attack begun
yesterday before a House Gov
ernment Operations subcommit-
tee, the National Association of
Soil Conservation Districts ac-
cused Mr.. Benson of bad faith
and demanded jettisoning of the
plan pending further study.
But in another prepared state
ment, the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation approved the
"broad plan" of reorganization
and expressed "wholehearted"
belief that Mr.. Benson should
have an opportunity to carry
it out.
The House subcommittee called
Mr.. Benson and others before it
in hearings starting yesterday to
air the controversy over the re-
organization, put into effect No
vember 2 as part of revamping
of the Agriculture Department.
Benson Appears Briefly.
Mr.. Benson's appearance at
the start of the hearings was
brief and limited to a noncom-
initial review OF his actions. AS
sistant Secretary J. Earl Coke,
former agriculture extension
head in California, did most of
the talking before the committee.
Mr.. Coke declared the plan
reresented a desirable decen-
tralization of authority that car
ried soil conservation to the
State level, where it would be
of most help to the farmers.
AS the first scheduled witness
today, Walter S. Davis, jr. of
League City, Tex, president of
the National Association of Soil
Conservation Districts. assailed
the Benson reorganization as a
determined effort to make
soil conservation a partisan, po-
litical ISSUE"

Perjury Probe Calls
3ConVicted Youths
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 4.-Police
Commissioner Beverly Ober as
well as three youths convicted in
the cases are among 81 witnesses
called to testify next week be-
fore a grand jury investigating
possible perjury in Baltimore'S
recent series of morals trials.
The first to be questioned will
be Philip and Michael Sudano,
cousins, and George H. Baccala,
all convicted of morals offenses
involving two girl cousins, one
13 and the other IL.
They testified that Franklin
Roosevelt D'Alesandro, 20-year-
old son of Mayor Thomas DIAL
esandro, was with them and the
| two girls on an automobile ride
which ended with the rental of
an apartment for the girls last
July.
Young D'Alesandro, charged
with statutory rape, was the only
one of IL defendants acquitted
so far in morals cases involving
the same girls.
At his trial he testified he had
never been in an automobile
with the three other young men
and had never seen the girls.
The grand jury probe was
ordered by Chief Judge w. Con-
we'll Smith of the Baltimore
Supreme Bench, who, had tried
D'Alesandro'S case early during
the current series of trials at
the request of Defense Attorney
Joseph Sherbow and contrary
to the request of prosecutors.

The military services have had
three pay increases since World
War II which have raised en-
listed mems salaries as much as
Sc per cent and officers pay a
maximum of n per cent.
Nevertheless, a special Defense
Department study committee
which yesterday recommended a
further increase said informally
that the serviceman's pay scale
has Jagged about 8 per cent be-
hind the rise in living costs.
At the end of World War II
an Army second lieutenant, and
officers OF equipment rank in the
other services, received a mini
mum base pay of $3.50 monthly.
Today officers of the same grade
get 48 per cent more, or 1922. A
World War II Army captain re-
ceived 5000 monthly. Today his
minimum base is 1926, an in
crease of so per cent.
The highest percentage in
crease has been in the grade of
colonel, a II per cent boost from
1888 in 1916 to $592 today.
The base pay of major generals
and vice admirals was $685. in

we would be shown the plan
before it was made public but,
if we didn't like it, not to get
mad. There was no choice but
to rebel"
While conceding that Mr..
Benson has made "great forward
strides" in subsequent modifica-
tions of the original plan, Mr..
Davis declared the service still
should be returned to the
status quo before the November
2 pronouncement by the depart
ment."
The Farm Bureau Federation,
however, voiced approval of Mr..
Benson's general plan to re-
group services within the Agri-
culture Department and de-
centralize functions able to be
performed at the State level.
