mentary schools in both the urban
and rural areas of the state. How
ever, the shortage of teachers and
buildings for secondary schools
throughout the state is described
as practically none"
Approximately IT'S teachers are
needed in Delaware to reduce the
teacher load and adequately pro-
vide for the present enrolment,
the survey states.
The outlook for an increased
number of teachers is poor. From
the number of persons now taking
teaching courses, the association
concludes that there will be a
Large shortage" in the needed
supply of instructors for the next
three years.
Causes Given
One of the major factors caus-
ing a shortage of qualified teach
ers is the competition for man
power that now exists and the at
tractive salaries provided by in
dustrial and business employment.
These were cited by the NEA as
the reason young men and women
are not going into educational
fields.
The association estimates total
public school enrolment in Della
ware this year at 54,15S, which
would be almost 1000 more than.
the figure for 1951-52.
Local and state authorities are
spending an estimated 1915 for
each pupil in the Delaware public
school system this year, the NEA
calculated. This is SIS more than
last year and only six other states
spend more per pupil.
However, it is estimated that
the state needs to spend s17,391. :
800 to house present enrollments
in public school buildings on a
tull-time basis. When the estimate
was made, funds needed to replace
obsolete buildings were not in
cluded

Alexandra Raisinq
Realty Tax 3O-45 Pei
In Reassessment

There is sad news in the mail
for most Alexandria taxpayers.
The city has started sending
out notices of new real estate
assessments. Most of them are
80 to as per cent above old as
seSsments.
City Assessor Thomas H.
Clarke today said about 3,100
parcels, or 20 per cent of the
city, had been re-evaluated so
far. The reassessment began in
January and should be complete
by next March. The last re-
assessment was in 1949.
Areas reassessed so far include
Rosemont, East Rosemont, part
of Del Ray, Mount Vernon Park
and Temple Park. Increases in
those areas have ranged from
30 to IS per cent, and Mr..
Clarke said he expects similar
raises throughout the city.
The assessment Office has been
receiving telephone calls from
unhappy taxpayers ever since the
higher assessment notices started
going out three weeks ago. If
property owners are dissatisfied,
they may discuss their objections
with Mr.. Clarke or appeal to
the Board of Equalization, which
is to be appointed for 1854. The
re-evaluation work is being done
by two assessors on loan from
the State Department of Taxa
ton.
Residents are notified in ad-
vance through the mail when
to expect the assessors visit. In
calculating the value of houses,
the assessors consider reproduc-
ton costs, less an allowance for
depreciation.
Mr.. Clarke said the new ap-
praisals are running about IS
per cent of a fair selling price
on the current market. The as
sessment is SO per cent of the
appraisal figure.
The new assessment won't take
effect until 1854.

Georges County bills approved by
the recent Maryland General
Assembly.
They passed both houses OF
the Legislature at Annapolis
with nobody noticing that their
titles had been reversed when

Assistant Attorney General

Fairfax Democratic
Unit Ignores Letter
Criticizing Chairman

The Fairfax County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee gave
it's chairman a vote of conf
dence last night after he was
criticized by one member for al
legedly taking sides in the cur
rent gubernatorial primary cam
paign.
Without a dissenting vote. the
committee voted to disregard
the letter of criticism from John
Thomason. who is a representa-
tive of Jefferson precinct on the
committee. The committee chair
man is Guy M. Bayes.
Mr.. Thomason was not pres
ent at the meeting. His letter
said that by custom and tradi-
| ton neither the committe nor its
officers take a partisan part in
the primary activities.
Tradition Cited.
"The chairman of the Fairfax
County Democratic Committee
has violated this tradition on
non-partisanship by actively and
openly associating himself and
his title with one Democratic
gubernatorial candidate.
Since the prestige and honor
of the committee are at stake
the chairman should resign. ...'
Mr.. Bayes said his picture
had appeared in a newspaper
at the opening of Falls Church
headquarters for State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick Of Airing
ton, who is seeking the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination
Mr.. Bayes said he wasn't work
ing on any committee for any
particular candidate.
Mrs. wilkins Backs Bayes.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, repre-
sentative from Fort Buffalo
precinct, said she considered
the letter unworthy of consid-
Grafton. She said she believed
any one on the committee was
free to support the candidate OF
their choice in the primary as
long as they supported the
party nominee in the general
election.
The committee voted down a
proposal to choose future COM
mittee members by primary
election. A special committee
was authorized to study other
possible ways of choosing Ex-
ecutive Committee members.
At present they are selected by
convention.
Six vacancies on the commit
tee were filled as follows: Mrs.

Budget
Approvedb by
Citizens Group
But Federation
Urges Study for
Possible Suvinqs

Fairfax County's proposed So
960,181 budget for 1953-54 has
the Endorsement of the County
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions but the group has urged
officials to study possible future
economies.
Kenneth E. Turner, federation
president and chairman of the
groups budget review committee,
recommended Endorsement of the
budget last night after he said
his committee had made a
thorough study of the proposal
and didn't find any item which
he felt should be eliminated"
The federation's Endorsement
was unanimous.
"We did find many areas in
which we believe savings can
be made in the future" Mr..
Turner said, "but we don't think
economics can be effected over
night"
Recommendations Made.
Among the recommendations
were:
A reorganization of school
functions which would place
such activities as maintenance,
construction and transporta-
tion IN the county department
of public works.
Improvement in financial
management through the con-
solidation of the department of
assessments with the depart
ment of finance and better
handling of large unspent bond
issue balances.
Placement of insurance cover
age on a bid basis rather than
distributing it to county agents
at the same premium rates.
Other suggestions were in
tensifcation of tax collections to
catch present non-taxpayers
and a study Of other possible
sources of revenue to reduce the
burden on real estate.
Members of the federation
generally indorsed the setting up
OF special tax districts for trash
and garbage collection, street
light installation and fireplug
installation. There was criticism
that some residents would have
to pay the extra taxes but would
not benefit from services because
OF their location within the
districts.
Hearing Set Monday.
A hearing on the proposed
budget will be held by the board
OF county supervisors at 10 am.
Monday in the Circuit Court
room at Fairfax. The proposed
budget would require a basic tax
rate of $2.84 per $1O0, a raise of
19 cents over this year. Rates
in some areas will vary with the
number of special services to be
received.
The federation also went on
record last night in favor of a
commission being set up to study
transit problems in the metro
politan area. John c. Shower.
who introduced the motion, crit
icized the State Corporation
Commission for it's opposition to
Congressional bills which would
establish an area transit regu-
latory body.
"The State Corporation Com
mission evidently doesn't under
stand our problems here or else
it is impervious to them" he
said.

Stanley Says Hatchett
Withdrawal Came as
No Surprise 10 Him

Former Representative Thomas
B. Stanley, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Virginia. said yesterday
he was not surprised at the with
drawal of w. Russell Hatchett of
Virginia Beach from the three
way race.
At the same time, Mr.. Stanley
replied to his opponent, State
Senator Charles R. FenWick of
Arlington, who has offered a plan
for encouraging more industry to
come to Virginia. Mr.. Stanley
cited a list of statistics which
he said shows the States indus
trial growth in the last 25 years
has far outstripped the average
of the Nation"
Supports Fenwick.
Mr.. Hatchett, former town
manager of Virginia Beach,
pulled out of the race Wednes-
day and threw his support to
Senator FenWick. Mr.. Hatchett
said he didn't have enough money
to wage an effective campaign.
Mr.. Stanley commented, "Mr.
HatchettS withdrawal was no
surprise to me. It's what I've
been expecting all along"
In his statement on the So
called Fenwick Plan to bring
more industry to Virginia, Mr..
Stanley said that apparently
Mr.. Hatchett and Mr.. FenWick
are not familiar with what has
been taking place in Virginia in
regard to it's industrial develop
ment. The records will show
that over a quarter of century
the growth of Virginia has far
outstripped the average Of the
Nation"
Mr.. Hatchett, as he retired
from the race, indorsed the Fen
wick Plan and declared some
thing is wrong with the States
economy because of its lack of
smokestacks."
Quotes Figures.
Mr.. Stanley quoted numerous
figures, including statistics to
show that total income payments
to individuals over the 25-year
period had increased 264,6 per
cent in Virginia as compared
with 163 per cent for the United
States as a whole.
The "Fenwick Plan" calls for
establishing a division in the
State Department of Conserve
ton and Development to exploit
Virginia's industrial resources.

Alexandria Hospital
To Seek u. ). Funds
ForExpansion Project

Alexandria Hospital is pre-
pairing to apply for Federal
funds under the Halliburton Act
to help finance construction of
a 2OO-bed addition.
At the annual meeting of the
hospital corporation last night
the board of directors was in
structed to file the application
as soon as possible.
The action was taken after the
corporation heard details of a
survey recently conducted by
Neergard Agnew & Craig, a con-
sulting firm.
Urge Bigger Capacity.
The consultants reported that
Alexandria Hospital should in
crease it's 185-bed capacity to
three or four hundred. Prelimi-
nary plans showing how the
present building can be expand
ed were exhibited. The complete
expansion recommended by the
consultantS would cost approx
mately $2.9 million.
The survey group said the hos
pital first should raze its exist
ing school of nursing, Carter
Hall, and replace it with a new
buiiding-probably across the
street. The Carter Hall site then
would be available for a new
hospital wing.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations of the
survey group include: Enlarge
men of operating facilities, pro-
vision of isolation rooms for tu-
bercular patients, space for long
term patients, psychiatric facili-
ties and expansion of X-ray
facilities.
The corporation directed the
board to study Embarrassing pos
sibilities in the city. Local funds
would be necessary to match the
Halliburton appropriation. The
board also was advised to study
what stages of the entire build
ing program are feasible at pres
ent.
Eight new members were
elected to the Board of Direc-
tors. They are Mrs. Ernst Weick-
ing, Chisman HaneS, Lyle S. Gar
lock. E. Guy Ridgely. Ralph
Boyle, jr., Mrs. Colin MacRae,

Lanhdm Launches
Last-Ditch Fight for
.CarroI|ton Bill Veto

Lanham's civic warriors have
run up the battle flag again.
This time, residents of the
historic Prince Georges County
community are waging a last
pen-scratch scramble to kill a
measure authorizing incorpora-
ton of the as-yet-unbuilt City
of Carrollton.
A bill to effect that end was
whipped through the Maryland
General Assembly in its closing
hours and was sent to Gov. Nc
Keldin.
BY all available communica-
tion media, civic leaders are be-
seeching the Governor for a
public hearing and a veto.
They also are roundly scoring
the county's Republican State
Senator, John r. Fletcher, for
introducing legislation to create
a municipality on a site that
now has an imposing entrance
but not a single house.
Nothing Like 1t Before.
Nothing like that has ever
happened in Prince Georges.
Albert H. Turner and a group
of associates initiated the pro-
posal with the idea Of building
a planned-in- advance neighbor-
hood of 1,4O0 homes on a $50
acre tract alongside Defense
highway between Seabrook and
Landover Hills.
Under the terms of the bill,
which would become effective on
June l. Mr.. Turner and his group
would WELD full power over the
towns affairs until its first elec-
ton on May /, 1856.
They could impose a 50-cent
tax rate and would have author
ity to borrow up to 80 per cent
of the municipalities assessable
base for improvements such as
streets and sewers for admins
trative expense.
Lanham leaders say they do
not oppose the development as
such, but fear it's occupants Woul
such, but fear its occupants
would become so saddled with
levies that, to tighten their bur-
dens, they would clamor for an
nexation of adjoining territory
The Lanham folks are thinking
OF Incorporating on their own
and have named a committee to
study the question for a year.
Then, there is the item of civic
urge. Citizens of Lanham are
proud of their 1OO-year-old set
tlement and do not want to risk
loss of its identity. They're
miffed, too, because the builders
failed to wiggle the old Lanham
name into the new city's title.
Taken by Surprise.
Furthermore, they say they
were not consulted and knew
nothing of the bill until they
read a newspaper report about
the time the measure cleared the
Senate.
The Lanham Citizens Associa-
tons shock platoon has drawn
reinforcementS from the county
Civic Federation, which is battl-
ing the bill as a matter of prin-
ciple. Said Federation President
F. Mulligan:
"It would set a bad precedent
to give builders such absolute
control. Most developers are
content to build houses, sell
them and move on"
Mr.. Mulligan said a spokesman
for the Governor has assured
him that the measure will be
subjected to executive review.
