HARPERS FERRY. w. Va,
May 14.-Civil War landmarks
at this beautiful mountain june
ture of the Potomac and Shen-
andoah Rivers, soon to be de-
veloped as national monument.
were inspected today by about
IS Federal and State officials
and their guests.
A special two-car Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad train carried the
group for the tour. arranged by
the National Park Service.
A main purpose was to show
officials the present condition
of historic structures and battle
grounds before the Federal prof.
ect gets underway.
The visitors saw buildings In
volved in the 1859 raid of Abo-
litionist John Brown, which typi-
fled intense bitterness over the
slavery issue and hastened out
break of the Civil War. Then
they viewed entertainments on
ridges surrounding the town
scenes Of bitter battles which
left Harper's Ferry virtually a
ghost town after the war.
Authorized i'm 1914
Congress authorized the ma
tional monument development in
1914. The State of West Vir-
ginia already has acquired 500
acres to make up its share of
the monument on both sides of
the Shenandoah. Maryland is
acquiring about 800 acres on the
Potomac to complete the site.
National Park Director Con-
rad L. Wirth recalled he at
tended a meeting in 1896 to dis
cuss first plans for the monu-
ment, but told the townspeople
such projects "are always long,
always difficult to attain"
He told the group a $4,000
request in the pending budget.
however, will permit planning
and "a limited amount of restora-
ton" to get underway this fall.
Within two years, he said. Off
cials hope to have the fullscale
program underway.
Warned On Entertainments
Mr.. Wirth told residents how
the monuments area will be held
to a minimum, and urged them
to guard against undesirable en-
croachment by certain types of
commercial interests which might
try to move in.
Mr.. Wirth, Undersecretary of
the Interior Clarence A. Davis,
and officials from West Virginia
and Maryland were in the party.
Also in the group were Karl
E. Pfeiffer, Baltimore, assistant
director Of Maryland Forests and
Parks: Carl j. Johnson, Charles

Motorists Offered
Free Inspection.
At Mount Rainier

The Prince Georges County
Automotive Safety Association
will sponsor a free automobile
safety inspection for motorists
today.
Fifteen men will conduct the
inspection on a parking lot next
to the Mount Rainier junior high
school at Thirtieth street and
Queens Chapel road, Mount
Rainier. from 2 pm. until dark.
The inspection is being held
as part of a movement for "One
hundred and one days of safety
in Maryland. sponsored by five
automobile clubs in the metro
politan area. -
The inspection will not be of
fetal" because Maryland does
not require automobile inspec-
ton. It is aimed at discovering
mechanical faults in time for
repair.

Retention of the present tax
rate of $1.87 per 500 assessed
valuation reliably is reported to
be among budgetary recommen-
dationS- of Montgomery County
Manager M. L. Reese.
The county manager said he
hoped to submit his budget rec
concentrations to the county
council Tuesday. He added. how
ever, that work on the budget
had not been completed.
Retention of the present tax
rate means that the budget cam
not go much beyond $18 million.
That is the situation unless
the new county manager has
discovered a new source of rev.
enue. Observers say this is un-
likely.
Holding the budget close to
the S18 million figure means the
manager has been making dras-
tic cuts in requests from depart
ment heads and the school board.
Used Surplus
The present years budget
provides for expenditures OF
$17.3 million. The last Repub-
ican-controlled county council
had to dip into surplus funds for
nearly a half million dollars to
hold the tax rate at the $1.87
figure e.,
Mr.. Reese must make up this
amount in his budget calcula-
tions before he can even con-
slider the present tax rate.
The county will get no big
assessment windfall this year.
The asseSsable base is expected
to be about $45 million higher
than the $710 million of last
June 80.
At the present rate this will
bring in an additional $850.000.
Other revenue increases are
expected as well as larger outlays,
Debt service-primarily to pay
off school construction bond
issues-will jump from $2.8 mil
lion to nearly $3.2 million.
Most observers agree that Mr.,
Reese. under these circum-
stances, can increase total
county expenditures for schools
and other services by about only
100000 if the present tax rate
is maintained.

Two Unions Picket Pier
As Trodewind Departs

age 1925 American seamen would
get if they handled the ship
Formerly known as the Aleu-
tian, the Tradewind was regis
tered under the Liberian flag
about six months ago. Prior to
the transfer, it operated on the
West Coast and was picketed
several times there by union
seamen.
Mr.. Weinstein said he did not
hope the picket line would pre-
vent the ship. 416-feet long and
the largest to operate regularly
from local waters, from sailing.
He said the object Of picketing
was to draw the attention of
Congress and the Maritime Com
mission to the plight of Ameri-
can seamen.
Mr.. Smith, in a formal state
ment to the press. said efforts
had been made to operate the
vessel as an American ship but
economic conditions made such
feat impossible.
He asserted that If the Trade
wind had not been registered
under a. foreign flag it would
have been laid up.
Therefore, not a single Amer
lean seaman has lost his job
because of the transfer of the
| flag" Mr.. Smith declared.
He said the crew flown to this
country is "happy and is hard
at work. 1t is operating an ex-
cellent and happy ship"
"It is a fact that it is no longer
possible to operate passenger and
cruise ships under the American
flag unless subsidized by the
Government" he concluded.

Also, with weed control operation that

fewer operations required during the

There are many factors involved in a
study of this nature. Certainly more
than one year will be required TO eval-
