Hawaii over Alaska.
eff we get through with the hear
ings and act on Alaskan statehood
I don't anticipate much difficulty in
getting Hawaii treated on its own

Furthermore, the senator added
additional hearings may also be held
in Hawaii in the fall when Republi-
can Sen. Guy Gordon, the sponsor
of the statehood bill, is scheduled to
arrive in the territory from a world
tour
Butler said he intends to have De-
mocratic Sen. George A. Smathers
Join Gordon in Honolulu for the
hearings. He said one of the wit
nesses still to testify is former Gov
Ingram M. Stainback.
Smathers, Florida Democrat anc
leader of the opposition to the Ha-
waiian statehood. is also a member
of the interior committee
Butler said he is quite confident
that once the committee clears the
statehood bill it will be passed by
the Senate when it reconvenes fol
its second session now scheduled
for Jan. 6.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 29-
Chairman Hugh Butler of the Sc
nate Interior and Insular Affairs
committee said that additional
statehood hearings may be held in
Hawaii this fall
Afterward, he said, he hopes to
report out the Hawaii statehood bill
next session as a separate measure
not linked to a similar bill for Alas
ka
He told the United Press here that
he also is confident that the Hawaii
bill will be favorably voted out of
his committee.
The bill was approved by the House
in the first session of Congress but
lack of agreement in the Senate
committee prevented further action
The Democrats in the group and
Republican Sen. George Malone vo-
ted 8 to that Alaska and Hawaii
should be dealt with together
Pointing out that the committee
will hold hearings on statehood in
Alaska during the summer, the
chairman indicated he expects this
may soften the demands of Demo-

ritories considered jointly.

plus a requested $4,000 to double
the new schools capacity. The
council asked County Attorney
David Macdonald for a ruling on
whether the school board may
transfer school construction pro-
jects from one area to another.
Hunting Hill is about two miles
from West Rockville, Carpenter
said
The council did, however-over
the objections of Gravelle - ap-
prove an increase from 100000
to $545,000 in the amount to be
spent on the new Montgomery
Blair High School gymnasium in
Silver Spring.
Gravelle opposed granting any
increases in school projects until
the Council could have "competant
people pass on the blueprints and
building costs.
He first suggested that the new
advisory committee on school con-
struction look into the necessity
for the "extras" on the two pro-
iects. The other Councilren pre-
sent, however, agreed that the
committees scope would not in
clude any specific projects.
He then suggested that Mason
A. Butcher, Director of Public
Works who spends his time build
ing roads, look over the plans and
pass on construction costs.
Other Councilmen, however, in
Dictated they would, if the county
attorney rules favorably on the
900 increase for the West Rock
vile elementary, with the kitchen
project transfer, approve a $780,
not equipped so that it can be
used for classroom space, at least
temporarily.

WHY'S Merger

Miller and Hughes Motor Co.,
local Kaiser-Frazer agency, an
nounced last week that Kaiser
Frazer Corp. is buying WilIvs-
Overland Motors for a sum of
S62 100000.
According to statement from
Edgar F. Kaiser, son of Henry ]
Kaiser, and president of Kaiser
Frazer, the independent operations
of the two companies will not be
affected. Mutual purchasing and
better utilization of tools and
equipment and savings in over
head will result, he said.
The merger will give Kaiser
Frazer production facilities which
will place it fourth in the list of
national manufacturers; whereas
separately, Kaiser ranked eighth
and WHY'S ninth in production ia
cilities.
Both companies have heavy de-
tense contracts, both automotive
and aeronautical, as we'll as some

these trailers which could be
hauled away periodically, Mr.. Jan
ney proposed the construction of
trash sheds.
Mr.. Janney blamed much of the
dumping problem which farmers
are facing throughout the upper
end of the county on the new sub
divisions which have no compul-
sorry trash collection service.
He urged the county to estab-
fish a compulsory service in all
the heavily populated areas but
said he did not think such an
action would be popular if it were
tried in the rural sections.
Mr.. Janney reported to the coun-
ell that the cleanup week cam
paign was success but that there
was still much work to be done.

health field" when he cut the
health departments $408,000 re-
quest to $316,552-some $4,000 less
than the department got this year.
Also hard hit by the retiring
managers economy AK was the
sheriff's office, whose $58,825 re-
quest was slashed to $35 ,O30, $10,-
600 less than this year. Sheriff
| Charles w. Lawrenson asked for
one additional deputy at $4,000 a
year and a $450-a-year pay raise
for the other eight deputies, and
two additional clerks at $4,000.
McNayr, however, recommended
that the sheriff get only 6 deputies
next year, with no raises, and no
additional clerks.
Other requests cut below the pre-
sent appropriation include the
county attorneys office, the board
of appeals, the personnel board,
inspections and licenses, and the
University of Maryland extension
service. A $317,951 appropriation
was recommended for the county's
new recreation department.
The expense budget is based on
estimated receipts of 3,481 ,687
from county taxes, $652,000 from
licenses and permits, $81, 900 from
fines and forfeitures, $12,7 $50 from
interest and rents, $59,763 from
State and federal aid, and $980,362
from service charges.
The capital budget also recon-
mends spending $1,350,000 for
additional public parking lots in
Silver Spring, Bethesda and Whea-
ton; $4,000 for library improve
ments in Silver Spring and Beth
esda; $4,000 for health centers in
Viers Mill and Bethesda; $4,000
for a new fire station in the Glen
Echo area, for which bonds already
have been sold, and $250,000 to
move into the new county office
building in Rockville.
Excluding schools, debt services.
and the new recreation appropria
ton, the county operating cost
would go up $147,623, or about
3Ha percent. Most of this, Mr..
McNayr said, is attributed to man
datory salary increases. No pay
increases for department heads
were proposed.
Montgomery next year will pay
back more than So million on Dor
rowed funds, about 100000 more
than was paid out this year. The
debt service will be up some $1.2
million over fiscal 1872.
Most of next years debt service
increase will go toward paying off
school construction bonds.
In his capital budget, Mr. Nc
Nayr Topped 1872 million off funds
requested for school construction.
Mr.. McNayr said the county could
not afford to continue to issue
school bonds at $7.2 million year
ly rate. The recommended school
building program would necessitate
only a new SO million bond issue.
The 1913 million. roads program
would call for a $685. 900 bond issue
with the remainder to come from
previous tissues, current revenue,
front-foot easements, Federal aid
and suburban district funds.

rate, paid exclusively by down
county residents.
The proposed tax reductions are
the result of bitterly protested
reassessment of residential pro-
perry in the suburban area and the
county manager freely welding an
economy axe.
McNayr said the budget was held
to bare minimum and recon-
mends SIS, 593,953 for operating
expenses, a II percent increase
over this years appropriation.
A $9,285,160 capital improve
ment also was presented. Of this,
$4,000,000 goes for schools and
S3,345 400 for roads, storm drain
age and bridges.
McNayr estimated the county
will have a surplus on June 30 of
S1,365, 096 in general funds and an
additional 100000 in suburban
district funds earmarked for road
projects. He recommended that
$1,0O0,000 of the general surplus be
used for school construction to
bring the county closer to pay
as-you-go financial basis, and
the other $365,O96 be Kept as a
standby fund"
He warned against using the
surplus for a further reduction in
the tax rate in view of the county's
risking payments to retire bonds
already issued.
McNayr slashed $1.4 million off
departmental requests, and for the
second successive year, eliminated
all civil defense appropriations.
He said he still feels that such
funds would be better spent on
existing county services, such as
police, fire, public works and
health, rather than on civil de-
Tense.
Although the manager recon-
mended granting the schools ST.
13,254-$1 100000 more than they
got this year he Topped some
81, 100000 off the board of educa-
TONS request About $660,000 of
the cut was in requested salary
increase, most of it for teachers.
The county charter requires that
at least five of the seven council
members approve an increase in
any item on the managers budget,
and that at least four vote to de-
crease as recommendation. The
council will spend most of June dis
cussing and holding hearings on the
proposed budget,
The reduction in the tax rate
back to 1851 level-comes after a
reassessment of the suburban area,
which jumped the county's asses
sible base some $40 million, to
$685. million, McNayr said.
The reduction in the tax rate,
therefore, will mean lower tax bills
for most new home owners, rural
residents and commercial property
owners, but not for the majority of
owners of older residential pro-
perty. He said he felt the $1.9O
rate can be maintained for several
years if the council holds down
demands for increased services and
salaries.
McNayr did agree, however, with
the school board that it will have
trouble replacing retiring superin-
tendent DR.. Edwin w. Broome at
the present 81, 800 salary, and re-
commended that the board be per-
mitted to go as high as $4,000,
about $1,000 above the limit on
the county managers salary, in
hiring a new superintendent.
This was the only pay raise re-
commended by the manager except
for automatic in-grade raises.

initial, said he was proposing
