Losing Ground in Senate

state system, and to finance a
large part of this program with
a $21 billion bond issue to avoid
increase the Federal deficit.
Cores Arguments
Senator Gore contended in
opening the debate that the
committee bill provides for a
balanced increase in expendi-
lures on all types of Federal aid
highways while the administra-
ton plan freezes Federal con-
tributions toward the primary.
urban and farm -to-market roads
at a level $100 million below
existing law.
Senator Case. Republican, Of
South Dakota. who voted for the
Gore bill in committee, took
sharp issue with some Of his
Republican colleagues yesterday
over a section of their minority
report in which they implied the
Gore plan was politically mott
vated.
The minority report of Sena-
tors Martin, Bush and Cotton
said the Gore bill "scatters bill
lions of politically guided Fed
eral dollars over the country for
the next five years as though
they were shot from a blunder-
buSS."
Case Disagrees
Senator Gore said this was an
indictment of the formula under
which Federal road funds have
been allocated to the States for
80 years under both Republican
and Democratic administrations.
These formulas are continued,
with some changes in the match
ing ratio, in the Gore bill.
Senator Case said he fears that
politics might creep into alloca-
tionS which are left up to the
Whims of a corporation not re-
sponsible to Congress" This was
a reference to the administration
plan. which set up a highway
corporation to complete the
building of the interstate sys-
tenn with the proceeds of the
bond issue.
Some controversy also is ex-
pected next week over detailed
Evening star., 1955-05-21

We face an economic enig-
ma which, meanwhile. is being
exploited politically by both
parties.
To explain it, let us take up
the Republicans first. Cur
rently they are pointing with
understandable pride to the
all-time record set in the first
three months of this year by
our economy. The "gross ma
tional product" THE value of
goods and services produced
was at a rate of $370 billions
a year, according to Commerce
Department figures.
Something, indeed, about
which to boast.
But, at the same time, un-
employment still persists to a
degree that seems out of pro-
portion to that production
record.
In fact-and this is the
Democratic w-with-alarm-
that record was achieved with
1.2 million less workers en-
pleyed in mine and factory
than when we attained a gross
national product only slightly
less-$369 billions-two years
ago. in mid-1953 before the re-
cession set in from which we
now have recovered.
Politicians will continue to
be politicians, with their con-
slant pointing with pride and
viewing with alarm: but in
this paradox of distress in the
midst of plenty lies one of the
most plaguing problems of our
times. 1t deserves, not political
speeches, but serious study and
bold corrective action, and on
the part of both political
parties.
The serious study it is just
about to get. That task has
been delegated to a bipartisan
subcommittee of the Joint
Congressional Committee on

School Board Head Pledges
Release of Indignation Report

Now as secret as the age of
your maiden aunt, the report of
the School Boards advisory com
mittee of racial Indignation in
the schools will be made public
very SOON.
Moreover, the County Board
of Education fought to have and
will have" a public hearing on
Indignation this month before
any policy is adopted on the
matter.
These re-asSuranceS were given
to the SENTINEL Wednesday
by Willard G.. McGraw, Gathers
burg, Chairman of the Board of
Education.
They came on the heels of a
meeting of the Board Monday
night at which the Advisory
group presented its report after
five months of study only to
have h Board declare it
Secret" on the motion Of Mrs.
Helen M. Scharf. Mrs. Scharf
gave as the reason for her desire
to suppress the report the belief
that "the public has had more
opportunity to discuss the report
than the Board"
Nothing has been made public
on the report other than rumors
to the effect that it recommends
gradual indignation one grade
level at a time over II years. II
is believed that the report was
adopted by the committee on a
1873 vote with two abstcniions.
In expressing the belief that
the report would be made public
very soon, Mr.. McGraw left no
doubt as TO his own desire 10
acquaint the public with the con
illusions of the study He gave
I II as his opinion that the Board
would have TO devote an evening
to the matter in the near future.

Gated his desire TO make the re.
port public predicting that in the

Hunt Gang,
For Eight
City Thefts

A gang of burglars with
plenty of muscle and some
finesse may be operating in
the Rockville area, Montgom-
cry County Police warned
today.
The warning was based on
the fact that there have been
eight breaking : and entering
cases reported in the city
within a three-day period.
And while 1t. Jesse 63ay and
Sgt. Frank Griggs of the County
Police cannot reveal their
reasons for thinking so, they be-
lieve that all jobs are the work
of the same person or persons.
Residents who observe any
person not normally accustomed
to carrying large sums of cash
flashing a "roll" were asked to
report such persons to the police
as one means of possible solu-
ton of the case.
Total take of the thieves was
$245 in cash taken from the
office of Maryland Motors Mon
day night. The Rockville office
of the C&P Telephone Company
was also broken into the same
night by the burglars but they
found nothing of value.
Similar disappointment re-
warded their efforts last Satur-
day night when they broke into
six offices in the Professional
building.
The offices in the Professional
building were entered by brute
force, police said, but in the case
of the Maryland Motors the COM
pany's safe was opened without
the use of force. A ground floor
screen was smashed to gain
entry into the telephone office. 3
Losses in the case of the
motor company might have been
heavier had not an employee
cashed a personal check for 500
before closing time. A sight
draft for $4,000 was also left
behind by the thieves, and a num-
Der of checks were destroyed.

The matron was Mrs. Edward
vaughn, Calvert Lane, Twin
brook, a courageous victim of
multiple sclerosis. The little girl
was her six-year-old daughter,
jeanette. And the occasion was
the impending opening of the

which is set for Mar. IS.

man in the Rockville area, was
asked to represent the National

And jeanette, who suddenly got
thirsty in the midst of the cere'

In return Jeanette gave Mrs
Ike a corsage on behalf of her
mother and the Society and her
own personal gift - a small re-

was for Mrs. Eisenhower, not her
husband who is currently fight
ing plans to cut the income tax

Mamie was both touched and
surprised by the Santa gift -
one that wasn't on schedule

as small children will, nary a

Higher Taxes, Lower
Farm Prices = Gloom

There was gloom in the
ranks of the Up-COunty proper,
ty owners this week.
First, it was learned that it
may be necessary to make 30
percent increase next year in
the present $1.98 per 500 tax
rate to keep the county going.
In addition, it was predicted
that higher assessments would
be made in the Up-COunty area,
none i'm the lower County.
Then it was recalled that
farm prices stand at 80 percent
of parity and that Up County
coming confusion makes it hard
to sell land. One landowner, i'm
evaporation, asked tax Off
Gals "why in - don't you just
