.We|farePatient
Funds Asked

Montgomery County has asked
State welfare officials to increase
allowances for keeping aged and
INDECENT patients in convaleScent
homes as the result of a threat
by an Olney home to move out
IL welfare patients.
County Manager NJ. L. Reese
today told the County Council
the situation was critical and
that he had sent the telegram
yesterday to State Welfare Di-
rector Thomas ]. S. Waxter urg-
ing the increase in the present

Mr.. Reese said two patients
already have been moved out of
the two convalescent homes
operated by Brook Grove Foun-
dation and put into general hos

Carl Howe, business manager
for the foundation whose ca
pacity is 10 patients, said he was
being pushed because of f.
nanceS." He added that he
wanted Ito take good care of
these patients" but that you
can't run a decent nursing home
at that price"
Mr.. Howe said somebody is

that although the welfare de-
partment of the State is work.
ling on a new Setup, he cannot
wait a year for the increased
fees.
Mr.. Howe said it costs a min
imum of $3.50 to SIS a day to
care for patients and the State
allows less than So a day. His
.neighbor, he said, gets 50 a day

Pool Program to Share

Government Services, Inc, mas
been losing $4,000 a year on
six pools it operates. Before in
tegration. the loss was about
$4,000 a year.
The pools cost GSI about $780,
900 a year to operate. Users from
noon on pay fees of so cents
for adults and 20 cents for chill
ldren.
An average family of five will
pay $3.50 a week to swim in the
pools. a GSI spokesman said.
On top of this the family must
figure its transportation costs.

teel they actually save money
through their cooperative eff
forts, travel less and swim more
often than do users of public
pools.
Reese Sees Loss
Mr. Reese comedies that, in
most instances, public pool pro-
grams are operated at a loss.
Such a program. in future years.
he says, probably will cost the
taxpayers more for their Recrea-
ton Department.
The department this year
would get $360,249 under Mr..
Reese's budget recommendations.
This is about $4,000 more than
was spent in the year ended
June 30, 1854.
About 100000 of the funds go
for the summer playground pro-
gram. Another 5000 goes for
maintenance of recreation areas.
Silver Spring businessmen are
expected to put in a plea for an
increase from. $250,000 to 81 mil

Reorganization of the Mont
gomery County managers Office,
which could provide a tighter
centralized control Of all infor-

Under Mr.. Reese's proposal
expenditures of the office would
skyrocket from $186,261 to $685.
705. But even these figures dc
not present a true picture OF the
cost increase.
For example, new division OF
facilities and services would be
created, including $322,209 fol-
warehousing, a motor pool op-
Grafton, central duplicating
typewriter repair, mail service
and adding machine repair.
Some of these services former
ly were found in other sections OF
the budget.
New Divisions Proposed
The managers reorganization
however, does provide for SILT;
for new division of information
and research and $13,429 for
new division of operation anc
methods.
The budget proposes $5,491 fol
an information officer, $5,907 fol
an operations and methods as
sistant, $4,423 for an aide. $5.07;
for an auto mechanic and $500
for a purchasing assistant. All art

ticians are not going to pay much
attention to the leadership Of
labor when that. leadership pro-
poses legislation Of a favorable
nature.
This has been proved to be
true time and time again in
areas where labor is strongly or
ganized-in States such as Penn
sylvania and West Virginia. in
the case of the mine workers. and
in cities such as New York. Chi
cago and Pittsburgh"
Greatest Achievement
Mr.. Kennedy believes labor's
greatest achievement in the past
20 years was the organization Of
the basic mass production indus
trials such as steel, automobiles,
electrical manufacturing. ETC.
and Mr.. Lewis success in win
ming the first industry-wide well
fare and retirement fund for
his miners.
What, then, has been labor's
greatest failure?
Mr.. Kennedy said: "The
greatest failure has been the
failure to spread organization
into unorganized fields. partic-
ularly in the Southern States.
This has been partly due to the
lack of unity in the labor move
ment and partly due to restric-
tive legislation.
There has been tendency
in the past few years for the
