year on June 18.
To meet the staggering PTA
budget of $17O0 for 1928 three
main projects were used. Six Lion:
Club dinners were sponsored by
parents and teachers of the
grades. Christmas trees were SOLD
by parents and teachers. The oper-
eta, "The Gondoliers," directed by
the Rev. R. p. Black crossed more
than $1,000. The PTA realized $500
net profit from the show.
Hundreds of hands were neces-
sary to. complete such a variety
of projects. 1t is a tribute to both
parents and teachers to have met
the largest budget in the high
school PTA history and still have
a surplus.

O'Hara pointed out that these
students ENTER high schools as
children and leave as young
adults" The Bishop, who is chair
man of the Confraternity's episco.
pal committee. went on to say
that if all they have obtained
concerning their religion is what
they have received as children,
they are at great disadvantage.
They will be coming out into a
world of adult knowledge with a
lack of proper balance"
The problem is most difficult, "
Bishop O'Hara said, because the
public schools absorb the whole
life of the child through the cur
riculum and extra-curricular and
social activities"
The Bishop said, however, that
the granting of released time"
periods for religious education in
some states is "a step toward the
solution" of the problem. Declar-
ing that "the parents are the real
authorities in the religious edu-
cation of their children" the
Bishop said: IF the parents want
their children to receive instruc-
tions in their religion. it's nobody's
business to interfere"
According to figures made
available at the meeting, only
100000 of the 100000 Catholic
students of high school age at
tend Catholic schools. 1t was also
estimated that less than one
third of the total number of
Catholic students are receiving re
llgious instruction outside the
home.

Pontiff Reminds
Polish Bishops
OF Martyrs Value

VATICAN - Radio. N.C.W.C.
News Service)-Saints and heroes
have always sprung from the blood
of martyrs, His Holiness Pope Plus
XII recalled in a letter to the Pol.
ish Bishops.
The Pope's letter was sent TO
the Bishops in connection with the
seventh centenary OF the canoniza-
tion of st. Stanislaus, Bishop-mar-
tyr of Cracow and patron of Pol
and.
The letter stated that the calam-
itous conditions in Poland today
are similar to those prevailing at
the time st. Stanislaus was cruelty
martyred by an evil king.
Addressed to His Eminence Stef-
an Cardinal Wyszynski. Primate of
Poland, and to the whole Polish
Hierarchy, the letter. dated July
16, has now been printed in Os-
servatore Romano, Vatican City
daily. The seventh centennial of
the canonization of st. Stanislaus
occurs on September IL.
''The calamities in which you
now live resemble the calamities
of that difficult time when the
exceptional firmness of that mar
tyr showed itself, "the Pope's let
ter stated. ALIAS, a night of evil
hangs over pious and ever faithful
Poland, but in the midst of the
dense darkness overshadowing your
country, your virtues shine like
brilliant stars.
'How many Bishops, priests,
nuns, and friars we're and are now
imprisoned because they have been
answering teachers of justice"
Those who have shown that the
ancient virtue of the Polish race
still flowers are worthy of ever
lasting honor the Pontiff stated.

Alexandra Plans Breakdown
On Underestimuted Returns

The city of Alexandria is going
to crack down on taxpayers who
underestimate their business Ii
cense returns and their personal
property.
The City Council has approved
the recommendation of the Citi-
zens' Advisory Tax Commission
to create a new department of
tax inspections.
City Manager Ira Willard an
nounced yesterday that the new
department will consist of one
supervisor and four tax auditors.
He said the department probably
would be ready to start func-
tioning August /. The council
has authorized a $4,000 appro-
priation from the 1953-54 con-
tingency fund to pay the new
employees.
AS recommended by the tax
commission, the new inspectors
first will concentrate on check
ing business license and profess
Sional license returns. Mr.. Will
lard said the inspectors actually
will go to places of business to
check the value of equipment
and check books to see if the
returns are made out properly
In Alexandria, most business and
professional licenses are based
on gross profits.
Eventually, the inspectors will
visit homes to check the personal
property returns of Individual
taxpayers.

McKeIdin Renames Harper
| To Public Service Board
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July o.
Frank Harper of Baltimore was
named to a full six-year erm on
the Public Service Commission
yesterday.
Gov. McKeldin decided to keep
the PSC career man in the So
000-a-year post with the agency
that regulates Maryland power,
transit and communications util-
tiles.
Mr.. Harper has been a member
of the three-man commission
since 1913, when former Gov.
Lane appointed both him and
the present chairman, John H.
Hessey. For the preceding rs
years he had been executive Sec
rotary to the commission. Like
Mr.. Lane, Mr.. Harper is Dem
ocrat.
Gov. McKeldin also announced
two reappointments to the State
Apple Commission.
Chairman John P. Caspar of
Hancock and Marshall T. Heaps
of Cardiff will serve new four
year terms with the unsalaried
commission.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-07-22

Mr.. Willard declared that the
new tax inspection plan had been
Endorsed by the Retail Mer-
chants Association and the
Chamber of Commerce. He said
the new scrutiny of tax returns
was expected to bring in an addi-
tional 100000 revenue during
the next year.
The Tax Commission said 1t
recommended to the City Coun-
Gil that court action should be
taken whenever necessary to col
lect such additional assessment
that the inspectors believe are
justified. The Tax Commission
added:
Under democratic institu-
lions, the objective must always
be a fair and uniform applica-
ton of existing tax sources to
all taxpayers. Our studies have
indicated that existing proce-
dures do not operate to produce
a fair distribution of the tax
load.
TOO many taxpayers are not
paying personal property, and
business and occupation license
taxes on the same basis as other
taxpayers"
The Tax Commission said it
believed an adoption of the new
inspection plan will equalize the
tax burden and will meet with
general approval"

Rockville Meetings
To Air Polio Threat

Two meetings, one tonight anc
one next Wednesday, will be
held in the Rockville Circuit
Court room to discuss the towns
water shortage and polio threat
The first, at $3.50 tonight, was
called by a group of Twinbrook
residents in protest against the
curtailing of water use.
The second, set for the same
hour next Wednesday, was called
by Mayor Daniel Weddle. He
announced yesterday that the
Rockville City Council would
conduct an open meeting at that
time to report on recent devel-
opments.
At the same time, Mayor We'd
die denied that he would at
tend tonight'S meeting as pre-
viously reported by spokesman
for the Twinbrook residents.
Concerning next weeks ses-
sion, the Mayor declared: II
feel that it is time that the
people of Rockville are given
facts to bring to an end the
loose talk, rumors and half
truths that have been circulated
either through idle gossip or
malicious self-seeking."
Twinbrook residents, accord
ing to Stanley E. Smigel, one
of their spokesman. circulated
petitions last week to end criti-
Ching town officials. In par
ticular, the petitions said the
citizens deplored the "evasive-
ness, lack of candor and ap-
parent incompetence of Rock
vile town officials" in coping
with the situation.

-Four Grade Schools
May Be Constructed
By Prince Georges

Prince Georges may build four
new elementary schools with
$13 million still available from
the State credit pool.
The County Commissioners
yesterday authorized the local
Board of Education to ask the
State to include that amount in
its next school, bond issue.
But they made it clear in
debate at Upper Marlboro that
their action does not necessarily
mean that they will apply for
the loan.
County School Supt. William
S Schmidt told the board that
the State still has power to sell
$40 million in bonds to finance
school construction and has
asked the counties to indicate
their needs by July 81.
Prince Georges has borrowed
$6.3 million from the State pool
and has received SIT million in
outright grants from the State.
The $1.3 million would exhaust
the county's eligibility to borrow
from the State under present
laws.
Mr.. Schmidt said one of the
projected schools would be in
the Landover Hills area. The
others would be in the Ager road,
Morning side, and Langley Park
areas.
comm ssioner Edward j.
Waters cast the only dissenting
vote. Later he said he would
continue to try to block any at
tempt to increase the county's
Indebtedness.
In other business, the COM
mlss1oners held that they are
without power to waive this years
taxes on Hyattsville's new NUM-
cipal parking lot because the
property was privately owned
when the tax year began jan
uary l. Attorney Hervey G.
Machen, who asked for the wal
yer, said the tax would total
about $400.
