Baltimore Seeks
Special Session
For School Loan

BALTIMORE, Jan. IS R.-
Mayor D'Alesandro planned to-
day to ask the Board of Esti-
mates for resolution urging
Gov. McKeldin to call special
session Of the Legislature to con-
slider a Baltimore City school
loan.
McKeldin last week said he
didn't have enough information
on the loan to merit calling a
special session. Yesterday Walter
Sondheim. School Board presi-
dent, made a detailed report to
the Mayor, who gave the infor-
nation to the Governor.
The city school officials are
saying their school construction
program will have to be cur
tailed and delayed in 1858 unless
special action is taken by the
General Assembly in 1856"
If the Governor should call a
special session Of the Legislature
Immediately after the regular
30-day session ends early in
March. the loan referendum
could be placed before the voters
in November.

Water Beyond Pumps
Due to the inability to close

Annexation Bid Waits
Falls Church Bond Vote

Falls Church officials are plan
ming to launch annexation pro-
ceedings as soon as city voters
approve construction of a city
hall.
A bond issue of about $500. 900
to build the city hall will come
before city residents this spring
under present plans.
Preparation for filing suit
against Fairfax County to en-
large the city is moving quietly,
and councilmen hope the pro-
ceedings themselves will be con-
Quoted the same way.
City officials realize they will
have to present strong case,
but they are hopeful that the
new "urban-minded" Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors and
the present Falls Church admin
istration can avoid the animosity
that marked the unsuccessful
1850 annexation attempt.
Chances Seen Better
CcNncilmen believe the city's
chances will be much better in
the next try because schools and
other facilities have been i'm
proved. Also, the plan is for
the two-sQuare-mile city to ask
for much less than the Is square
miles sought in 1850.
The timetable set by some
councilmen may be upset, how
ever. by School Board requests
for a school construction bond
issue at the same time as the
city hall referendum. School
Board members told councilmen
last night. in joint session at
City Hall, that one more bond

Sewer Line Pact Near

of Rockville.
Mr.. .Pritchett said that If the
city agreed to temporary closing
Iof Monroe street at the pike, he
would recommend State ex-
penditure of 100000 for the leg
iof the pike.
Would Cut Congestion
The roads commission pre-
viously said 1t wanted to extend
the pike carrying as far south
as Old Georgetown road in its
next construction step.
BY opening the pike to Mont
rose road, the roads commission
would relieve an anticipated bad
Itraftice congestion on Rockville's
main street.
Mr.. Pritchett wants Monroe
street kept closed until the roads
commission can get Federal aid
for a bridge over Monroe street.
Rockville plans to meet with
Montgomery officials soon on the
proposal and throw the matter
open for public discussion. Both
the city and county have urged
that Monroe street be kept open.

Time To Apply
For Sugar Beet
Acreage Quotas

Area farmers who intend to grow
sugar beets and receive government
payment were urged this week to file
their requests for acreage allotments
with their county Agricultural Stabi-
lization and Conservation committees.
Sugar beet growers must have a
proportionate share of the state al
lotted acreage in order to receive
government payments. Ohio has been
allotted 20,367 acres as its share of
the national allotment of $4,000
acres for sugar beets.
According to Miss Inez Rothe, of
flee manager of the Allen county ASC
committee, allotments cannot be made
until the farmer has filed his request
with the ASC. This request and other
factors, such as acreage planted in
former years, land conditions, labor
available, ETC., are considered in
granting the allotments.
Requests must also be filed before
farmers can be allotted share of the
$3.50 acres granted by the state to the
Buckeye Sugars, Inc, Ottawa, accord
ing to Ralph Dush, manager.
