BALTIMORE. Feb. 4 R.-
George P. Mahoney today
claimed Ill Washington County
Democratic Party leaders and
workers have Endorsed his cam
didacy for the United States
Senate nomination.
A stateme from Mr..
Mahoney's headquarters here
said the group has urged Mr..
Mahoney's nomination without
serious contest" and has
pledged support and influence"
toward his nomination and cleo

Washington County group in
cludes the majority of the men,
bers Of the county's Democratic
State Central Committee, the
three Democratic County Com
missioners and other public OFF,
Gals. party club leaders and dis
trict and precinct workers.
In a resolution signed by
C. William Hetzler of Williams
port, chairman of the County
State Central Committee, the
Washington Countians said Mr..
Mahoney's nomination without
a serious contest would do more
to assure Maryland of Demo-
cratic Senator than the nominal
ton of any other Democrat and,
at the same time. would revive
the spirit of this great party in
our State"
The Endorsement brought to
Is the number Of Maryland
Counties whose entire central
committee or a majority of COM
mittee members and other county
leaders have lined up with Mr..
Mahoney.
Another indication of it's sig

tion unit votes. In each case, he
has lost by majorities of about
2 to l..
It is also the home county Of
former Gov. William Preston
Lane, jr. Many nti-Mahoney
leaders in the Democratic Party
had hoped Mr.. Lane might seek
the nomination himself, thus
furnishing f1rst-line opposition
to Mr.. Mahoney.
However, Mr.. Lane had said
he is not interested in making
the race and Baltimore Mayor

Assembly toGet
Veterans Bonus
bill This Week
Would Be Financed
By so Pct. Maryland
Sales Tax Increase
BY GENE GOODWIN
star Stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 4.-Legisla-
ton proposing a 500 million vet
Grams bonus in Maryland to be
financed by a so per cent in
crease in the retail sales tax is
set for introduction this week in
the General Assembly.
Veterans bonus bills have been
introduced in every session of the
Maryland Legislature since
World War II and they have al
ways been defeated by narrow
margins.
william r. Clay of Rockville,
vice chairman of the Allied
Maryland Veterans Council, said
that 40 to As of the 1913 members
of the House have agreed to
sponsor the bill this year. He
said the council is made up Of
IL veterans organizations.
Calls for Referendum
Like previous bonus bills here,
this one contains a provision
that the move would have to be
approved in a referendum.
"All we want is to give the
people q chance to vote on the
bonus" Mr.. Clay said, repeating
what has become one of the
standard arguments put forth by
bonus hackers.
Mr.. Clay said 26 States have
voted to pay a veterans bonus
since World War II.
This years bill proposes that
the sales tax be increased from
the present rate of two cents on
a dollar to a three-cent rate.
Payoff In Six Years
This is designed to raise about
SIT million a year, Mr.. Clay said,
which would mean that six years
would be required to pay of
principal and interest on the 500
million bond issue that would be
fioated by the Maryland Veter-
ans Commission to pay the
bonus.
After that, the bill provides
that the sales tax rate would
revert to two per cent,
AS in past years, the proposed
bonus of not more than $500
would be paid to all veterens Of
the Spanish American War,
World War I and II and the
Korean War who were residing
in Maryland at the time of their
entry into those conflicts.
Previous financing schemes for
paying a veterans bonus have in
cluded a State wide lottery and
higher liquor taxes.

Court Will Hear
School SiteP Plea

Another round will take place
tomorrow in the year-old effort
by the Montgomery County
Board of Education to get a
school started in the Harmony
Hills section Of Wheaton.
Circuit Court Judge Thomas
Anderson will hear the boards
motion for re-trial Of a condem-
nation suit. When heard last
month, the suit resulted in a
Jury verdict awarding $4,000 to
owners of a site which the board
wants for a new Aspen Hill
school.
The jury award represented a
price of nearly $4,000 an acre,
which would be the highest price
ever paid for q school site. School
authorities had offered $4,000 an
acre for the land when negotia-
tons began early in 1855.
The landowners in the case
were Ray Turner and his sister.
Miss Mamie o. Turner. They
were represented by attorney
Edwin Brown.
Mrs. Helen Scharf. school
board chairman. said the board
has been unable to find another
site in the area for a school.
Unless the school is built by
next September. widespread
double sessions are expected in
neighboring schools.
To ease overcrowding. the
board is rushing plans for addi-
tons at the Weller Road and
Highland Elementary schools,
but some board members said
the chances are $3.50 that the
additions can be completed by
September.

Flut-Top, Crew or Standard
Latest MIGHTY Male Hdir Cuts
By SHARON DORAN

Here is the latest info on:
the hair-cuts worn by the
mighty males in the Metro
politan Area!
The MOST POPULAR hair
cut today among the teen is
the fabulous Flat-top. The
Flat-top is the haircut that
is "a" to 1" high on the top Of
head, standing up straight and
level, the sides are boxy. the
sideburns short and the back
is shaved straight across. Sew
enty-flve per cent of all the
teen males have the Flat-top!
The two OTHER POPULAR
cuts are the Crew and the

which originated from the COL
lege men who rowed for crew
teams, is made for the boy
who wants the rounded top
with the hair all the same
length all over.
Other names for the Crew.
cut vary according to different
places; they are also called
Burr, Butch, Military, Univer-
sity, Rabbit Brush, Plicky and
Whiffle hair-cuts!
The haircut that is popular
with about IS per cent Of the
boys is the Standard one. This
Is fading slowly.
The haircut that is DYING
THE FASTEST, however, is
the D.A. or Ducktail cut.
One barber (of the ten in
terviewed) said that in most
cases the D.A. boys cut is
longer than girls hair!
The record length for a
D.A. is one foot! The usual
is four inches. This style is
swept back from the front and
sides and is over-lapped in
the back, resembling a ducks
tail. This was a big fad a
year ago.
For a few boys, the Novelty
cut is A CHALLENGE AND A
DARE. Such a haircut is the
Mohawk which is one and only
one strip Of hair two inches
wide running from the fore
head to the back Of the head.
Very Heap Big Injun-ish.
Usually the only time a boy
gets a Novelty cut is when he
and a group Of boys all decide
they will get one. A boy never
goes Mohawk alone!

Lutin Women
Look to u. S.

Latin American women look
to American club women for
inspiration and guidance. Mrs.
Thomas Burke, president of
the Pan American Liaison
Committee Of Women's Or
CARNATIONS, declared yester-
day.
In a talk before the Pet
worth Women's Club. the Chill
ean-born speaker said there
has been "a tremendous
change" in the last Is years
in Latin American women s
organizations. There are more
clubs, she said, and they are
asking such questions as:
What are your methods?
What are your projects?"
Their clubs are concerned
with such questions as status
of women, schools, the work.
ing women, and equal justice
and equal pay, she pointed out.
The equivalent of American
university and business wom-
ems clubs are also being or
ganized, she added.
Mrs. Burke addressed q
luncheon meeting of the club
held in the Petworth Metho-
dist Church, with Mrs. c. A.
Briggs and Mrs. Sue Richwine
as chairmen.
A high light Of the business
session, conducted by Mrs.
Edward H. Jarvis, was q pre-
sentation to the club of q

Women's Clubs and the Sears

Flat-top. 1t keeps the hair
standing straight. Otherwise
they comb like mad!
All the BARRIERS agree: Boys
are far more conceited about
their hair than girls! They
fuss, pout and particular
ize to great extent. They
all. by the way, are influenced
by their girl-friends as to
which way their hair should
be.
They stop being influenced
by the girls when Uncle Sam
marches in. As one barber
commented, Evidently the
girls must love the Fat-tops!"
AS for STUFF IN THE
SHOP, the boys sit down in
the chair, and by all means,
specify to the barber what
they want. They NEVER leave
it up to the barber. They
either read magazines in the
chair or they discuss such
items as baseball, school girls
and hair-cuts.
THE COST for these hair
cuts varies. The most difficult
for the barber is the Flat-top;
so the teen is charged two
buckeroos for the first one.
After that, they are $3.50.
Crew-cuts run 2 bits more,
and Standard has a set price.
Boys GET HAIR-CUTS once
in every two or three weeks, or
when his mother thinks he
looks too much like Lincoln as
a boy.
Last bit of advice from the
barber: If YOU WANT A
FLAT-TOP, remember this: A
good Flat-top is the best on
the boy with a fiat head!
Seriously, he should have a
fiat skull. It is very hard to
make a Flat-top when the
skull is round. And most skulls
are! Also, the boy should
have wiry hair; this makes it
stand up good and straight.
If the boys hair Is fine, then
they pour on hair wax to stiff
fen the locks!
Final word: A good haircut
can improve q boys appear
ance 100 per cent.
