Along The Potomac
With Your Congressman
Dewitt S. HYDE

Although the international situ-
alton has kept our economic pro-
gress out Of the headlines lately.
there is solid evidence that our
general prosperity is increasing.
Unemployment, though it is Il
crucial problem for the individuals
who want work and can't get it,,
has dropped a great deal Last
March it hit a peak of 100000
but by December it declined to p
100000. OF these, 100000 were
people who had been out Of work
Is weeks or more.
Not all of the blame for high
unemployment could be placed on
the government. and all Of the
credit for improved conditions
should not go to the government.
But increased attention to public
works. such as the Presidents pro-
poSals of funds for the c. q O.
Canal parkway and flood control
at Cumberland, has made a differ
eflce ALSO, in our own district the
Administrations tax policies and
program to aid distressed areas
made possible the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company's new plant in
Cumberland which will employ
many people in construction and
about 1000 people permanently.
A study by the Presidents top
economic advisers shows that ten
big public works projects and pro-
grams of the federal government
will create more than the equiva-
lent of-9 100000 year-long jobs.
While space is lacking here for
me to list the new jobs in each
case. have the list before me
which shows the tremendous boost
in employment which will be pro-
vided. Included are the construction
of the new Air Force Academy in
Colorado the lease-purchase pro-
gram for government buildings;
the St. Lawrence Seaway and
power projects; new airports; ship
building; school construction; new
medical facilities; a new Senate
Office building and social security
headquarters in Washington; regu-I
lar federal public works, and a
ten-year highway program.
All Of these have been proposed
or authorized in the past two years.
Work on some of them has begun.
Jobs to be created include those in
the industries which supply tools
and materials for these projects
But the survey does not include
possible new jobs in the retail and
service establishments which may
expand because of these new ac-
Invites in many localities.
Business activity is on the up
grade today. Production is rising.
Industrial wages are the highest
ever. So is our personal income
after taxes. Construction is at a
record level. Credit is easy to get.
Savings are high. Over most of the
country, in the words of President
Eisenhower, "The economic outlook
is good"
On my calendar: Monday I'll at
tend the Maryland Farm Bureau
Board of Directors dinner here.
Tuesday | speak at the joint
Rotary-Lions meeting in Bethesda
Tuesday evening I'll be at the an
nual dinner here of the Maryland
Department of the VFW Thursday
| speak at the Kiwanis luncheon in
Cumberland.

To Expand Operation

Carlton Pyles, chairman of the

clared last night the commission
does not want to expand its
Jurisdiction over Southern
Prince Georges County unless
the residents want it.
But Mr. Pyles said population
and business growth southeast
of Washington will be fostered
by the circumferential highway
crossing the Potomac River at
Jones Point.
"Our area is going to be met
ropolitan whether we want it or
not" he told the Inter-Com-
munity Council Of Southern
Maryland.
The cost of planning commits
sion jurisdiction to property
owners would be 80 cents per
81 900 assessed valuation, he
said.
Pros and cons On the need for
commission jurisdiction were de-
bated last night at an Inter-
Community Council open meet
ing. An informal standing vote
showed overwhelming opposition
to commission planning.

The fate Of a proposed $780,

after a lengthy hearing before
the City Council last night. !.
The structure. planned by the

3-acre tract near lakewood Gem

Allied Civic Group
Sideiracks Move for
NewPIanningAgency

Proposals for creation Of a
new organization to regulate
planning in Montgomery County
failed last night to win the ap-
proval of the Allied Civic Group,
Inc. of Silver Spring.
Tabled by a 38-to-12 vote was
a resolution similar to one
passed recently by the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
by a ratio of more than 2-to-1.
The civic group motion advo-
Gated that all planning functions
for Montgomery County be
withdrawn from the Maryland

ming Commission and invested
in new planning commission.
Appointment of members and
establishment of supporting

Problems involving Prince
Georges County would be settled
through the National Capital
Regional Council.
Proponents last night con-
coded that, outside of some.
budgets. they had little fault to
find with the current planning
commission. They explained,
however. the new proposal would
strengthen the home rule idea
and bring county planning closer
to voters.
Opposing the resolution were
statements that the entire idea
was the work of only few
persons dissatisfied with present
commission policies. No individ-
ual citizens associations. it was
added. have approved a reorgan-
ization.

Montgomery Bill
Would Allow Council
To Tax Tabacco
By Gene Goodwin
Stor StaH Corrsspondsni

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. Mont
gomery County legislators plan
to introduce a bill in this Mary
land General Assembly author
izing the Montgomery County
Council to tax tobacco products.
That decision was reached last
night at a meeting Of the six
Montgomery House members
with the new County Manager.
M. l.. Reese, and County Attor-
ney Charles M. Irelan.
Delegate Blair Lee III, Chair
man of the Stool Democratic
delegation, said the Council had
asked for the tobacco tax au-
thorization.
The Democratic members of
the delegation agreed to such au-
thorization, providing the State
does not decide to start taxing
cigarettes, Mr.. Lee added.
McKeldin OpposeG.
A 2-cent-a-pack cigarette tax
Is proposed in two bills before
the Assembly. However. Gov.
McKeldin has come out against
State cigarette taxes, and the
idea has drawn opposition from
the Southern Maryland Tobacco
country and Baltimore City.
which, along with Baltimore
County, has a 3-cent-a-pack
local cigarette tax.
Under the bill discussed by
the delegates last night. the
Montgomery Council would de-
eide the rate cigarettes. cigars
and other tobacco should be
taxed.
Delegate Warren Browning,
Democrat, said he believes the
bill should specify that no
county tax on cigarettes exceed
the 2-cent-a-pack tax levied in
the District. 1t would be too
easy for Montgomery residents
to buy their cigarettes down.
town while they were at work if
they were priced higher in the
county, he argued.
Gilbert Guide, the lone Re-
publican in the Montgomery del
egatIon. opposed the move for a
local tobacco tax. He is one of
those pushing for a State Gig
arctic tax as an alternative to
the 1-cent increase in the sales
tax proposed by Gov. McKeldin.

members called it incomplete
and misleading.
This report showed sharp dis
PARTIES in enrollments between
schools. forecasting vacant class
rooms in some schools and criti-
cal overcrowding in others.
Mr.. Norris revealed also the
existence of a third report on
indignation, prepared by a COM
mittee of classroom teachers.
Copies were given to board
members, but the contents were
not discussed. %
In other actions, the board:

School Indignation
Policy Report Given
Board in Secret

The Montgomery County Board
of Education last night voted to
hold up release of the final re-
port of its Advisory Committee
on Indignation.
Then it extended the secrecy
policy 1t imposed on itself and
the committee so far as public
utterances about the subject of
indignation in county schools is
= concerned.
Later the board chairman and
another m mber pointedly
warned a third member to cancel
a tentatively scheduled engage
ment to participate in a public
forum on the indignation issue.
The final report of the 49,
member advisory group. repre-
senting five months study. was
sent to the board yesterday.
In a letter of transmittal, John
r. Reeves, the groups chairman,
revealed that 10 members had
approved the report. three voted
against 1t and two abstained
from acting on it.
Sees Vote as Closest.
He had been hopeful, he wrote.
that the committee would come
forth with unanimous agreement
on recommendations for integra-
ton, but that, in view of the
strong opinions of its members.
the 13-to-3 vote represented the
closest possible approach to
unanimity, he said.
No hint was given of the con-
tents of the majority findings,
but it has been generally known
that they suggest a gradual ap-
preach to ending segregation
in schools, with pupils being in
tegrated one grade at a time
over q 12-year period.
When Willard G. McGraw,
board chairman, finished read
ing Mr.. Reeves letter, Mrs. Helen
M. Scharf declared that "the
public mas had more opportunity
to discuss the report than the
board"
She moved that the report,
together with two minority opin-
ions, be kept secret until the
board digested the recommended
tons.
Harrison King asserted that
'''it's not up to us to supplement
the report with facts He
warned that until the report is
released, wild rumors' will
sweep the county.
Wylie B. Barrow asked what
factual information was re-
Quired.
Would Study Redistricting.
Mrs. Scharf said report was
needed on how pupils will be re-
distributed under an indignation
program. and said study Of
redistricting of school districts
should be made.
At that point School Supt.
Forbes H. Norris presented an
estimate of individual school en-
rollments next September, if in
tegration were to become effective
at that time.
The report was first classed
as factual information available
for public release, but later was
withdrawn when some board
