Last year at college my grandson.

to count to nine. This year he's enrolled
for football and we're hopin' he'll learn
to count to 1even.
Out here on Squowberry Flat we

throw trash into the mud and walk on
it and pretty soon we don't see it no
more.

For two bits Teller can buy a book

Some of our schools over the west

I've finally decided not to run for

It's almost impossible, these days,
for young Teller to get a position with

be a job that has work connected with

Republicans Won't
Enter Candidate for
Arlington Board

There will be no official Re-
publican candidate in the Ar
lington County Board race this
year, the County Republican
Executive Committee announced
today.
Harlan E. Freeman, committee
chairman said the committee
voted last night mot to run. in
dorse OF support any candidate
for the county board this year."
Among the factors prompting
the decision. Mr.. Freeman said,
was a desire ito keep party poll
tics out of the county board race
so that Government employees
may participate without fear of
political reprisal."
Mr.. Freeman said this method
was favored over amending the
Hatch Act because the consen-
suS of the committee was that
most Government employees favor
keeping the Hatch Act as is"
County Democrats are sched-
uled to meet February IS and
may decide at that time whether
they will enter the board race.
Non-partisans. who sponsored
a candidate in last November's
race against a Republican and a
Democrat. have not yet an
nounced their plans for this
year.
The term Mrs. Leone Buch-
holZ. chairman of the board and
a representative of Independent
Movement, expires this year. She
will seek reelection.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-The only
party line in the Maryland House
of Delegates for a while last night
was a plowed furrow separating
the farm boys from the city boys.
The farm boys won out and
OVERRIDE Gov. McKeldin's veto of
a bill to exempt insecticides and
fungicides from the State sales
tax. The Senate already had
rejected the veto last week. That
means that. as of June /, Mary
land farmers can stop paying the
2 per cent levy on insect sprays.
Delegate A. Gordon Boone, a
Democrat and one of the city
boys from Baltimore County.
made the observation during last
nights debate that. if the Legis-
lature didn't stop chipping
away" at the sales tax. somebody
was going to have to spray the
budget with insecticide and
funglclde."
Delegate Lloyd L. Simpkins.
Democrat. Of Somerset County,
told the House that feed and
fertilizer already are exempted
from the sales tax.
When the sales tax law was
drawn the amount of money the
farmers spent for inSecticide and
fungicide was insignificant" he

Maryland Property
Assessments Plan
FaIters in Assembly
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. ga pro-
posal to lift property assessments
with the inducement of more
State aid for schools faltered in
the General Assembly last night.
Senate Majority Leader Gold
stein, commenting that small
counties probably wouldn't sup
port the idea. suggested the plan
be referred to State commissions
for study. :
- If two bills outlining the pro-
posal emerge from the rules COM
mittee. Senator Goldstein's fl
nance committee will get first
crack at them.
Senator Lofstrand. Republican,
of Montgomery, sponsored the
measures. They would reward
counties whose assessments are
above average in relation to cur
rent market values. They would
discourage under by
reducing State contributions to
public school operation and con-
Struction.
The system would be akin to
that utilized in New York to APP
portion State aid and set debt
and property tax limits.
Senator Lofstrand had the
bills drawn after a committee of
assessors found some counties
were putting a far lower value on
comparable property than others.
AS a result, they qualified for
relatively higher school grants.
Senator Goldstein said the bills
should be screened at least by
an education commission headed
by Harry j. Green and another
group studying State borrowing
policies. w. Arthur GrotZ is
chairman of the latter.
The Calvert Senator, whose
county was one of the lowest in
the report on assessing scales,
noted also that Senator LOT
strands bills dealt with money
and consequently couldn't re-
ceive action until the budget
passed.

Three Day-0Id Baby Dies
DESPITE Blood Donations

Desperate though futile efforts
we're made to save the life of a
3-day-old Rockville baby yester-
day who was born prematurely
with a closed esophaguS.
Whole fresh blood, quickly
packaged by a. machine at the
Red Cross Blood Center, was
rushed with a police escort to
Children's Hospital, and given to
the child shortly after surgeons
had succeeded in opening a food
channel in her throat. The child,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Donald Freeman of 500 West
Lynfield drive, Rockville. Md,
died several hours later.
Beside the malformed throat,
the infant was found to have a
marked shortage of blood plate
let's. tiny cells of the blood, hos
pital officials said.
The recently installed machine
at the blood center makes it pos
sible to draw and package fresh
blood-without the loss of plate
lets which takes place in stored
blood.
Donors of the blood were Mrs.
Jeffrey A. Abel. 4531 Warren
street NV, a blood bank aide
and Howard E. Crane of 105O9
Malone street, Silver Spring, a
member of the emergency donor
panel.

Virginia Senate
May Act Today on
Vote-Recount Bill
BY @ sioff Correspondent, Of The s.or

RICHMOND. Feb. 9.-Legis-
lation setting up machinery for
recounting ballots in closely con-
tested congressional elections
was in line for passage by the
State Senate today.
A bill by Senator Charles r.
Fenwick of Arlington would pro-
vide for a recount of ballots
whenever the difference in the
vote between two candidates is
less than 500. The bill was ad-
vanced from the second read
ing" stage yesterday.
Party Label Measure.
New legislation proposed.
meanwhile. was a resolution by
Delegate Harrison Mann of Ar
lington to amend the State con-
stitution so as to write in specific
permission to designate candi-
dates for State and local Offices
by party labels.
At present. the constitution
says. ''the General Assembly
shall provide for ballots without
any distinguishing mark or SYM
Dol. :" To this language he
would add, except party desig-
nation. :"
Mr.. Mann. former chairman
of the Arlington Democratic
Committee. said there is a diff
ference of opinion among legis-
lators who are lawyers as to
whether the present law permits
party labels to be attached to
the names of candidates for
State and local offices on the
ballot.
1t was recalled that under the
So-called "anti-Truman bill" en-
acted during the administration
of Gov. William M. Tuck in
l948, party labels were used on
ballots for candidates for ma
tlonal party offices.
Three Detectives.
Mr.. Mann said there were
three detectives in removing
any doubt about the question:
/. To aid the voter. when a
large number of names appear
on the ballot. to support the
party candidate of his choice.
2. To strengthen the two-party
system by making the voter
conscious of the party which the
candidates represent. 80
3. To refresh. the memory of
those voters who vote in a pri-
mary that the names of their
party nominees appear on the
ballot.

Maryland farmers over SO million
a year"
The vote was taken. 1t was
81 to % in favor of the farmers.
Delegate Leroy Humphrey,
Democrat. of Prince Georges
voted with the majority. but he
took the floor to say he wasn't
happy about it. He warned that
he would not vote for any
further exemptions from the
sales tax unless provision is
made to replace the lost revenue.
The exemption will result in a
loss of an estimated 100000 a
year to the State treasury.

Governors veto of two capital
improvement projects-S25O, 900
for a new dormitory at Western
Maryland College and S250,000
for a new gym at Washington

items. AS a result, the two COL

More Neighborhood
Activities for Youths
Urged in Alexandra

More nelghbOrhOd youth &C
tivities sponsored by parents was
recommended by five top Alexan-
dria city officials yesterday as
they met to consider the city's
increasing juvenile delinquency
problem.
The conference was arranged
by City Manager Ira Willard.
Those who met with him were
Juvenile Judge Irene Pancoast,
School Supt. T. c. Williams,
Police Chief Russell Halves and
Recreation Director Eugene
Barnwell.
Maj. Halves and Judge PAN
coast both stated that they had
noticed an increase in juvenile
delinquency this year.
The police chief said he par
ticularly noticed an increase in
the more serious crimes. such rs
burglary and auto theft.
Mr.. Willard said the recent
vandalism at George Washing
ton High School, which cost ali
estimated $4,000, points up the
city's juvenile problem, but it
was not the only basis for the
meeting.
Mr.. Willard said it was de-
cided to encourage civic and
church groups to sponsor youth
activities on a neighborhood
level. He said the recreation
department was ready to help
any neighborhood projects.
But we would like to see the
neighborhoods initiate some
kind of program. We have a
city-wide recreation program,
but it isn't always possible to
reach every youth on a neigh
borhood level" said Mr.. Willard.
Mr. Barnwell said Alexandria
had one outstanding example of
citizen-sponsored youth recrea-
ton. He pointed to the Little
Major League which is being ex-
banded this year.
