Parkland acquisition and de-

Jesse F. Nicholson, secretary
treasurer Of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, described the fund
situation as critical"
The statement came in an

commission staff recommended
ton that the present 7-cent park
tax be increased.
Preliminary budget estimates
totalling about $1.126.571 fol-
fiscal 1857 indicate no funds will
be available on a pay-as-you-go
basis next year for park devel-
opment or replacement Of rolling
equipment in either Montgomery
or Prince Georges Counties, Mr..
Nicholson said.
Higher Interest
The cause Of the dilemma is q
sharp rise in principal and in
terest payments on bonds issued
by the commission.
The debt service in Montgom-
cry will Jump from 1858 this
year to $250,060 in fiscal 1858,
Mr.. Nicholson said.
The situation is paralleled in
Prince Georges County, where
the debt service will increase
$22.429 to $81.l50.
This latter increase virtually
absorbS proceeds Of the increase
in the park tax from 5 to 7 cents

of II millionaires and a plumber
(former Labor Secretary Martin

are still around"
Mrs. Edwards attacked the

design for which some Congress
members compared to an accor-
dion, will not be included in the
first contract. In fact, 1t will be
at least nine months before a
new architectural plan for the
chapel is completed.

Department.

yesterday foreign tours by Amer
lean performers are winning re-
Spect for this country.
E. Allen Lightner, jr., acting
Assistant Secretary of State, de-
scribed the impact of the Gov
ernment's tour-subsidy program
as phenomenal"
Mr.. Lghtner said the aim Of
the program, currently costing
about $2.5 million a year, is to
create a new image" of the
United States abroad, and to
counter the country's reputa-
ton as a center of materialism
The program really does open
eyes," he declared.
Inspect Photographs
The State Department official
and two associates, Donald B.
Cook, chief of the special prof.
ect division. and James Mag
danz, chief Of the cultural pres
entations branch. commented
on the program during an in
spection of photographs taken
on a recent European tour of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
The Government helped f.
nance the tour, which included
the first visit of an American
symphony orchestra to the So
Wet Union.
Right now, the department
has temporarily suspended"
official encouragement of further
such visits to Russia, the officials
said. This is because of the
current International situation.
But they said there is no out
right prohibition of such trips,
or any ban on appearances here
by Soviet artists.
The Boston Symphony, which
is playing here tonight, was the
sixth American symphony or
chestra to be sent aboard with
Government backing, the Off
Gals said. The tour, they added,
won an enthusiastic reception.
