ANOTHER TAX collector
was assigned to collect a tax
bill of about $50.
He went to see the family
in Arrears and found it in
pretty desperate financial
straits. The kids weren't
exactly starving, but they
weren't eating steak every
night either, and their clothes
were considerably the worse
for wear.
But this collector had his
job to do, so he kept going
back, again and again, until
finally he had collected the
$50 into one neat little pile
and handed it over to the
Government.
However, in the course Of
his visits, this ogre of a tax
collector spent $50 out of his
own pocket to buy the family
food and clothing.
That's enough for collectors.
Now let's get down to the
mean old agents.
A woman, alarm in her
voice and face, came into the
Internal Revenue Service Of
flee and told the agent:
1--WE sent you my tax re-
turn"
Fine" he said.
"I've also written a love
letter to my boy friend"
Very commendable," he
said. "But why tell me about
it?"
This morning." she ex-
planned, II got my tax return
back from my boy friend. And
I'm afraid 80"
"I see," the agent inter-
rupted. Don't worry about it,
madam. Well see to it that
the letter is returned to you"
"But you don't understand"
she said. eff you send back
the letter, my husband might
see it, and start asking ques-
tions."
The mean old agent nodded
knowingly and assured the
distraught woman. "The mat
ter will be speedily and dis
creetly taken care Of"

Lamb 10 Back
Candidate LIST
In G. 0. ?. Fight

George P. Lamb said today
he will indorse a slate Of candi-
dates for the Republican Cen
tral Committee and the 1856
convention delegation. subject
to the election May /.
In this way, the anti-organi-
zation man will extend his chal-
lenge to the party leadership
here.
George L. Hart, jr.. g. O. P.
chairman, said he is glad Mr..
Lamb will support some of the
organization candidates, but he
quipped that none Of vhe Or
ganization candidates will sup
port Mr.. Lamb in his bid for
Republican National Committee
election and a place as delegate
to the San Francisco convention.
Mr.. Lamb said he will indorse
the Republicans who have al
ways leaned to the Eisenhower
wing of the party.
Fears Blocking Move
1--WE are happy to have him
indorse and approve some of
the people on our slate" said
Chairman Hart. 1--WE think they
are fine people and deserve elec-
ton or we would not have nomi-
mated them.
However, it should be pointed
out that none of these people on
our slate is going to indorse Mr..
Lamb. They are committed to
the slate itself"
Mr.. Lamb said one reason he
will back a slate is to avert the
possibility that the "Old Guard
would try to keep him from be-
ing seated as a convention dele
gate-if he Is elected delegate.
Mr.. Lamb raised the possibil-
ity of being blocked from the
convention in a press release is
sued yesterday. It was not made
clear, however, on what his fears
were based.
Mr.. Hart said it never oc-
CURED to him that Mr.. Lamb
would be challenged If he is
elected.
Frankly, I never thought of
such a thing" he commented.
81 know of no reason to chal-
lenge him. But if he anticipates
a challenge. this indicates he
must know of some reason to
disqualify him. The only way a
delegate could be challenged is
for the delegates to lack qualifi-
cation"
The Lamb statement referred
to the G. o. P. chairman as BOSS
Hart" He told reporters that is
the appellation he intends to
use for the rest of his campaign.
Organization Assailed
He charged that the organiza-
tion slate for the G. o. P. local
committee contains "17 sure
votes for the Hart-G Garrett stooges
and only eight for the real Eisen-
hover Republicans" Clyde G.
Garrett is the incumbent G. o. P.
national committeeman.
Mr.. Lamb said the organiza-
ton keeps control by electing
only Is members to the city COM
mittee. The Is, in turn, pick 81
members at large.
The anti-organization candidate
the organization thus
hopes to wind up with rs Of its
own people and only eight real
Republicans"
After releasing the mimeo-
graphed press statement, Mr..
Lamb told reporters the word
"stoogeS" might be too strong,
because some of the committee
are all right.

City Heads OK
Plan on School
For Crippled
Way Now Cleared
For Funds PIeu
To Congress
By JAMES G. DEANE

The Commissioners today ap-
proved an agreement reached by
school and health officials end
ing their dispute over the Dis
trict's projected new school for
crippled children.
The action cleared the way for
q quick plea to Congress to au-
thorize funds to start the school.
It also settled the status of the
closed Upshur Street Tubercu-
losis Hospital, which the city
heads left in Health Depart
ment control.
Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger yesterday dropped his
opposition to plans for the lew
school. School and health Of
f1cials agreed on a one-story
school building. They also
agreed on tearing down a former
nurses home on the projected
school site at Thirteenth and
Upshur streets NV.
Approve Office Moving
The Commissioners today ap-
proved moving public health
nursing Offices now in the nurses
home into the adjacent hospital
building. Also approved was a
plan to set up a 200-bed civil
defense training hospital there.
Left unsettled was proposed es-
tablishment in the building of
tuberculosis. venereal disease,
cancer and heart clinics. how
ever. Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
engineer commissioner, asked
for more study on the clinics,
noting that there had been some
objection to them because of
nearby schools.
Meeting Scheduled
School and health officials
scheduled a meeting today on
the design of the new school,
with the aim of cutting down
walking distance. DR.. Seckinger
had objected that lengthy corri-
dors might be a handicap to
pupils.
A recreation center also is due
to be developed on the site. The
Recreation Board last Friday
dropped a claim to the nurses
home, however.
DR.. Seckinger, Board of Edu-
cation President c. Melvin
Sharpe and School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning, with some of their
top aides, reached the new agree
ment in a two-hour meeting yes
terday.
Settlement of the dispute was
considered urgent because Off.
cials want to ask the Senate to
approve the nearly 81 million
needed for the new school.
Dropped From Budget Bill
House leaders knocked the
item out of the budget because
of another dispute over whether
the school should be at the Up.
shur site or on Mount Olivet
road NE. That dispute was set
tied only last week.
School officials now hope to
get the construction funds in
July and have the new building
will replace the present
Health School and a unit for
crippled youngsters at Anthony
Bowen School-open late next
year.
They still have hopes of build
ing a new administrative head
quarters on another part of the
Uushur property. Technically,
the Board of Education is on
record as wanting the hospital
building for a part of this head
quarters, but members are ex-
pected to go along with Mr..
Sharpe and give up this claim.
