To Raise Tuition
OF Nonresiidents
Regents Urge
Action on Hospital
Churity Cases
BY The Assoeiassd Press

BALTIMORE. Sept. 25.-Uni-
versity Of Maryland regents have
voted to raise tuition fees for
out-of- State students and do
something about the growing
number Of charity cases receiv-.
ing medical care at University
Hospital here.
The Board Of Regents yester-
day voted to increase tuition for
non-residents Of Maryland as
much as 500 a year, beginning
next fall. The exact amount
will be determined at next
months board meeting.
Meanwhile, DR.. Wilson II. FL
kinS, new university president,
will make study on which he
can make specific recommended
tions.
Maryland Ranks 18th.
DR.. Elkins, meeting with the
regents for the first time, told
the board that out of II COL
leges he had checked, Mary
lands tuition for out-of -staters
ranked 18th. Maryland charges
$3.50. he said, while the average
for the II is $275 a year.
But he warned against an i'm
mediate S100 increase. DR..
Elkins said too great an in
crease might sharply curtail the
number of nonresident stu
dents. This could prove serious.
he said. because the dormitories
must be kept full in order to
pay off outstanding bonds.
Finance Director Charles L.
Benton said the university has
about 1000 out-of-State students
at College Park.
The regents suggested their
University Hospital Committee
confer with Gov. McKeldin and
other officials about the increas-
ing financial deficit of the hos
pital.
Heavy Burden Cited.
They agreed the hospital is
being forced to shoulder a finan-
cial burden, in treating needy
patients, that should be handled
by city and county welfare de-
partments.
Hospital Director George H.
Buck said the hospital provided
81, 900 in free service in fiscal
1854 $250,000 increase over
1858 and a $750.00O increase over
1852. In fiscal 1854, the hospital
had an operating deficit of
$126.00O.
The university's scholarship
program also came under scru-
tiny Of the regents. DR.. Elkins
said the program must be
studied with a view to increasing
the number Of scholarships for
non-athletes.
He made it clear that he does
not Cnlnk the number OF atts-
letic scholarships should be re-
duced. But he said the proper
proportion of athletic scholar
ships to non-athletic scholar
ships is one of the university's
big problems.
Nom Athletic Scholarships.
Out of Sc scholarships the uni
versity is authorized to award.
he said, only IL are non-ath-
letic.
The board est October 20 as
the date for receiving bids on
$2,350.000 in bonds to finance
three new dormitories.
It also agreed to study the
possibility of establishing a new
Reserve Officers Training Corp
program at College Park, prob
ably an Army unit. At present
the university has only an Air
Force ROTC program.

Commends Arlington Schools

am getting sick and tired of reading
letters in the papers from those who
are out Of power and would like to get
into power in Arlington. They all
claim that their adversaries are some
how leftists, liberals of all degrees"
because they differ in viewpoints.
It has been my experience that the
school system in Arlington gave my
boy such good education at the Fair
lington School, Dolly Madison Junior
High School, and Washington-Lee High
School, that he was able to qualify
for admission to M. I. T. Not only
that, but he and another 1853 Wash
ington-Lee graduate made the Deans
List for scholarship I give full credit
to the current school system for the
preparation these two boys received.
And can point to plenty of other
boys and girls who are doing equally
well at college.
Don't sell the Arlington school system
short. Those who don't like it are
welcome to try to change it. I know
that they will be unsuccessful. In the
meantime. let's cut out the smears.

| letters to The Star.

the Southern States could not give
proper schooling to either white or COL
ored children. Today this can be done
and is being done. The objection by
thoughtful people Of both races to
mixed schools is based on their OBJ
lection to racial intermixture and in
termarriage.
To force common schools on both
races in the South is to begin the de-
struction of racial purity for both races.
The desire to preserve racial in
tegrity is not confined to the well to
do. able to send their. children to pri-
vate schools. Most of the people who
object to mixed schools have not the
means to keep their children from en-
forced racial mixture in State-support-
ed schools. And neither colored nor
white want racial intermarriage.
And in spite of Russia's great SYM
pathy for our racial minorities I doubt
that the Russians voluntarily at home
practice racial intermixture.

This and That
By Charles E. TroceweN

Time alone, Of course, does not make
a deed right, but the observer must not
confuse the bird mind with the human
mind.
Their ways are not our ways.
They may be said to have no moral
ideas. Surely no mother cowbird, put
ting her egg in song Sparrow's nest,
has any idea that she is doing any
thing wrong.
So right at the start the observer
must realize that he Is seeing something
take place that is not covered by hui
man ground rules. It is only when he
puts his own rules to work on the case.
and in an instant transfers the cowbird
from its own plane to the plane of
others, that he can call the deed
wrong"
It is an interesting thing to note that
the yictimized mother does not seem
to mind at all.
She, too. works according to bird
laws. not man-made laws.
She takes the same care Of her large
offspring" that she does of her own,
in fact. better care. since it is larger
and more vociferous. and so gets the
most food.
Experts have said that for each
cowbird baby reared to maturity by
some other bird than its own mother.
five rightful babies Of that mother pay
with their lives.
We have always wondered just how

son.

despite the Commonly heidi nefarious
practice of the female laying its eggs
in other birds nests.
One of the males was slowly going
around large tree on the parking.
Advent of a human caused it to go
to the other side, and almost peer
around. to see II it were being watched.

The plain desire of this bird was to
lure the chance passerby away from
the tree.
It would 60 across the sidewalk, not

but dragging its tail, and nothing
seemed wrong with it.
. ALI it was doing was taking attention
away from the tree.
We looked carefully, but could not
see its mate.
Probably she was up there placing
her egg where some other bird mother
could do it the most good.
This action is strange. and usually
the observer is offended, but should
ne be?
After all. the birds have been operat-
ing in this way for countless centuries.
The average human observer, when
he sees such sight, or suspects it, has
been watching the birds only Q few
years.

Federal Impact Is Costly

The Broyhill bill to require the Federal
Government to make certain payments to local
communities in lieu of taxes on Federal prop
erty faces rocky legislative road. Whatever
its fate at this session of Congress- the proposal
has great deal of merit The plan is not a
new one of course. 1t has been advocated in
one form or another ever since the expanding
Federal establishment began to make major
1nroadS on taxable real estate in such areas
as nearby Maryland and Virginia.
The Federal impact as it is called in Gov
ernment circles, has been especially severe in
Arlington, Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties in the past decade and a half. Sprawl
Ing Government Office, research and other
buildings have risen on acreage which once was
some Federal aid to the affected Jurisdictions
for school construction and other services, local
authorities contend that such payments have
not made up for lost tax revenues. For ex-
ample the Arlington revenue commissioner
has said that if the Federal holdings in the
county, amounting to nearly 18 per cent of the
total area, were taxed at the prevailing rate
for private property, Arlington would receive
at least SIS million in taxes annually from
Federal real estate. Similar situations exist in
other suburban areas. These injustices ought
to be corrected, just as Congress is moving
belatedly to make more equitable payment
to the District as its share of running the
Nations Capital-where the Federal Govern
ment owns little more than half of the land.

further, It win find some reasons for the low
cost Of the health program in Prince Georges
A recent Community Chest survey showed that
the county health department occupies crowded
quarters, with no space for any staff expansion
Its 10 nurses have far more cases than they can
possibly care for. The ratio Of nurses to
population is one to every 21,567 persons,
although public health authorities assert that
one for every 5000 persons is the ratio regarded
as reasonable. Despite all this, the CON-
missioners cut $4,000 of the health depart
ment's moderate budget request, while approx
ing tax reduction. No wonder the State
commission was stunned" by its preliminary"
findings in Prince Georges. The county is in
viting the criticism which is coming its way.
