County Advised
To Use Prudent
Budget Setup
Council Told Not
To Estimate Tux on
Unreulized Assets

Conservative" county budget.
ing procedures and the omission
in revenue estimates of tax funds
anticipated from properties not
yet in existence were recon-.
mended yesterday by the Mont.
gomery County Council Financial
Advisory Committee.
The committee submitted a
nine-page report to the county
council with a warning that the
council should prepare for a
rainy day The f1ve-man COM
mittee Is headed by Charles L.
Dearing. senior staff member Of
the Brookings Institution.
Among its recommendations
the committee included:
l The build-up of reserves
against possible future shrinkage
Of revenue.
2. The application of surpluses
to new capital outlays or the re-
duction Of the bonded debt.
3. The omission from next
years budget Of estimates of
partial levies.
If the council follows the COM
mittee's third suggestion, it will
knock $325,000 off revenue esti-
mates on which former County
Manager Irving G. McNayr based
his recommended $1.90 tax rate
for the next fiscal year.
This would mean an additional
five cents on the tax rate. If the
managers expense budget goes
untouched through the council.
In urging the creation Of re-
serve funds. the committee noted
the county now was in a period
Of high level employment. per-
sonal income and expanding tax
base.
If recession should develop,
the committee said, the county'S
income from the sale of alcoholic
beverages and from income and
gasoline taxes would drop i'm
mediately.
In contrast, the committee
noted, the expenditures for
schools is still rising and is not
expected to reach its peak before
1857 and possibly 1860.
School Outlays Infiexible.
Outlays for schools not only
are rising, but are inflexible, the
committee said. They pointed out
that a business recession would
not produce any reduction in the
demand for education. The same
is true for county obligations on
its bond Indebtedness, the COM
mittee said.
The committee urged "con-
servative revenue estimates call
culated to avoid any possibility
of an operating deficit"
Surplus funds should be
treated as earned surplus and
used as they are by business.
chiefly for new capital invest
ment, the committee said.
I'm our Judgment" the COM
mittee said, 1T would be pru-
dent deliberately to build up q
moderate budgetary surplus dur
ing periods of high level eco
nomic activity"
Seen As Cushion.
If the debt revenue sources
continue to grow. the surplus
could be used for reduction Of
the debt burden or the tax rate:
if revenues dip. the surplus would
be cushion to avoid raising tax
rates on the base of declining
personal income, the committee
added.
The committee described as
sound the revenue estimating
procedures Of the county. Only
the use of partial levies drew
criticism from the committee.
The committees report was
timed especially for its consid-
Grafton during coming budget
hearings, Mr.. Dearing said.
Other members of the COM
mittee included Wilfred L. Good.

dent of the Bank Of Damascus:

against Mrs. Rosenberg were re-
produced in the ADJ report en-
titled ct h e Trouble-makers."
ADJ leaders Arnold Forster and
Benjamin Epstein reported that
Matthews sought data" against
Mrs. Rosenberg. They asked what
part Matthews had played along
with Wesley Swift, Mccarthy,
and others in the false charges
which were eventually exposed.
Matthews shocked many by his
recent agitation for an investiga-
ton of American religious life.
Matthews charged that "at least
1000" Protestant clergYmen in
the United States are serving the
Kremlin's conspiracy" and that
spiritual leaders are the largest
single group supporting the Com
munist apparatus in the United
States" He offered as evidence"
the assertion that 52S clergYmen
signed a petition against the Nc
Carran Act.
Three Democratic members of
the Mccarthy committee first
tried to fire Matthews, their exec
utive staff director, who they con-
sidered guilty of "a shocking and
unwarranted attack against the
American clergy" In joint state
ment, Senators John L. McClel-
Ian, of Arkansas, Stuart Syming-
ton, of Missouri, and Henry M.
Jackson, of Washington, said Mat
thews' allegations cannot be sup
ported by the facts" Even a Re-
publican member of the commit
tee, Sen. Charles E. Potter, of
Michigan, admitted that he felt
Matthews should not be attained.
Mccarthy, however, refused to
allow the committee to vote to
fire Matthews, saying that as
chairman he felt the issue should
not be voted upon. A chairman,
said Mccarthy, had the right to
hire and fire employees without
consent of the rest of the COM
mittee.

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
ABE CRoNBACH

Cronbach. He is a neighbor in our
town where he is affectionately
called Abe. You. doubtless. have
read his name lately in the daily
papers wherever you live.
He is the rabbi who prayed for
the Rosenbergs in the picket line
in front of the White House:
Lord, let the groan of the prison
ers come before Thee and in the
greatness of Thy power deliver
those who are doomed to die"
He is the rabbi who preached
at the funeral of the Rosenbergs
and admonished the Communists
there: I'VE must eschew haired
and disdain rancor." He quoted
Hebrew Scripture: Thou shalt
not revenge. thou shalt bear no
grudge. Let us give the prose-
cutors credit for this much: They
did what they thought right &.
We must demonstrate that we
are among those most loyal to
America. We gain when America
gains and lose when America
loses" 1.-The Communists gave out
murmured protests at this: they
preferred the venom they were
spewing.)
In the current climate of public
opinion a lot of Jews around the
country trembled or were angry
at the thought of Rabbi Cronbach
being with the Rosenbergs in
their extremity and at their death.
From all over the country the
Hebrew Union College, in which
he is professor emeritus, has been
hearing from Jews worried on
account of Abe Cronbach.
Some Of them called up by long
distance to tell the college that
they would Withdraw financial
support from it unless Dr.. Cron-
bach were cancelled out of there.
The H. u. c. authorities were
not to be frightened by the pros
pect of losing money by reason of
Abe. Cronbach. They respected
him as one of the greater souls
who had come out of their school.
He was not man of any political
theology, no Communist at all. He
literally believed what Scripture
said to him: "Thou shalt not kill"
'Thou shall love thy neigh
Dor as thyself' what doth
the Lord thy God require of thee
but to do justly, to love mercy
and to walk humbly with thy
God"
In this is Abe Cronbach's reli-
gion and he was obedient to it
when he prayed for the lives Of
the Rosenbergs at the White
House gate. I have always
thought Of Abe Cronbach as a
Jew in the pattern of the Jew
Jesus.
I can exactly count the years
since the day I first came to know
Abe, a frail boy out of Indiana
polls. We were all sitting around
a long table at the Hebrew Union
College-some IL of us-taking
our entrance examination. Abe
was one of us and the brightest:
The year was 1898.

liner and he asked me what a

been true for the twenty years up
TO 1858 during which period they
had the run of the White House
and the personal support of its
incumbents. In that period Demo-
cratic candidates as well as Demo-
cratic policies were-and still are
cleared through them. The sec
ond conclusion is that they are
supported by the biggest, best
financed and most effective propa-
ganda machine in the country. In
these respects it is superior to
both the Republican and Demo

perior to those of the National AS
