 Hey, how about mel"
 l Nestled against the beautiful
 Ibackdrop of the towering Rock ies near Colorado Springs is
 the new United States Air For ce Academy, already trying its lwings, you might say, in this
 game called football, and impat iently awaiting the day it can
 challenge it's service rivals.
 It's really starting from l scratch. It has no glorious tra- l ditions such as can be boasted by West Point and Annapolis. ] It has no rabid alumni follow l ing. sending moral support from l all parts of the globe. It doesn' t ! even have. at the moment, up Iper classmen.
 l But every great institution had to have a beginning. Time Ialone will take care of the oth- Ter factors. which include the de lvelopment of a representative lfootball team.
 The freshman, or plebe, or Iwhatever such group may be Icalled, class of the new acad- Iemy already has started it's foot
 ball program. It defeated Den Iver freshman team the other day, 34-18. indicating that a working knowledge of the sport Eisn1t considered detriment when prospective student lists
 his accomplishments.
 l It will take four or five years ] at minimum before varsity l team will be able to compete on equal terms with establish led schools.
 Next year it will be strictly
 a sophomore team; the follow ! ing year mixture of juniors ] and sophomores, and the year
 after that third year men will ] be competing
 l Assuming that the academy
 gets its share of good prep ath- Iletes, and that the coaching is ! top-drawer, there is no reason Ito believe the Falcons, as the l academy teams will be called ! will not develop into a req Igridiron power.
 \ We don't know, but we have \ an idea that the problem of fool Iball schedules for the next few 'Iyears already IS be1ng cOns1uel led. Most large schools line ur
 heir schedules at least two ol three years, maybe more, in az vance, so the immediate prot Hem would seem to be to try t squeeze into schedules already pretty well set.
 Assuming that the athletic development of the fledgline academy proceeds as might lbe expected, it also is assumed thf school will want to meet the ! Army and Navy teams, the sl- uation thus presenting some : thing of problem.

Disti||ers' Boycott
Fiqht Continued
By a star staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 31.-The
third legislative round between
Montgomery County and the
liquor interests was scheduled
today with Senator Edward S.
Northrop still seeking to keep
alive his bill against the dis
tillers.
The Montgomery County Dem
ocrat clashed head-on yesterday
with former Senate President
George w. Della of Baltimore
City as he sought to substitute
his bill for an unfavorable report
from the Finance Committee
The bill, aimed at breaking a
boycott of the Montgomery
liquor dispensary system by sew
eral major distillers. now would
give the State controller author
ity to suspend or revoke dis
tiller's right to sell anywhere
in the State if he refused to sell
directly to a dispensary system,
Yesterdays debate on the
measure made it clear Senator
Northrop was not alone in his
fight with the powerful liquor
interests.
AS Senator Della took the floor
to challenge Senator Northrop
and defend the distillers, Senator
Frederick c. Malkus. jr., Of Dor
chester County asked If he had
sponsored a bill four years ago
to kill the Montgomery system.
Senator Della first answered in
the negative; then he said that.
If he had, he had done it by
request" and would not have
voted for the measure.

Record $2.I5 Tax Rote

A record tax rate of $2.15 per
$500 assessed valuation = II
cents more than the current
figure-was adopted by the
Prince Georges County Com
missioners today for fiscal
1866.
The action at Upper Marlboro

share of a $21.9 million dollar
budget-also the highest in the
county's history. OF the total,
$8.1 million will come from the
State and other sources. County
taxpayers will pay the rest.

was $2.13 per 500 valuation set
by the then all Republican
county commissioners for fiscal
1854. The present commits
sioners are Democrats.
The new budget, among other
things, provides for a $100-a-
year raise for county school
teachers, in addition to regular
annual increases.

ployes. But he attached an
amendment to exempt the d.

The Senator also aroused the
ire Of his delegation when he
amended a bill to authorize spe-
cial taxing areas in the county
to handle suburban services.
His amendment would restrict
these services to street lighting.
trash collection and street
cleaning. The delegation wants
those services listed only as ex-
amples.
The dispute could jeopardize
a number of Prince Georges
measures. including one to
transfer juvenile court authority
from the trial magistrate to the
Circuit Court.
The delegation has amended
it's bill to postpone the effective
date until next year to meet bar
association and reported Cir
cult Court objections. Another
bill would provide for a bond
issue to finance an addition to
the courthouse.
Pushes rs Bills Through
Senator Wheatley, during the

ment more than rs bills in
troduced originally by the dele
cation.

day were four affecting fire tax
areas in the county, another
increasing salary of assessment
Supervisor Louis Hutch and

one providing for special as
sessments on abutting property
owners to finance street i'm
