to another. he proposed the crea-
ton of an emergency fund. from
which the Board Of Education,
with council approval, could
draw when it finds itself strapped
for funds.
He conceded that the changes
would have the effect of restrict
ing the flexibility Of the board
in finding money for schools. but
insisted that they would elimi-
nate confusion and would not
impair the basic building pro-
gram.
Neither the county council
nor the school board took any
action on the recommendations
last night. If adopted, they
would require sharp revision OF
the 1878 school board budget
The budget recommendations OF
DR.. Forbes H. Norris. superin-
tendent OF schools. are scheduled
to be given to the board or
Tuesday. The board has only

Also, the utilities commission
has asked Mr.. Chalk to show
cause why the amount which
he charges off as depreciation ex-
pense should not be cut from
about So million to about ST mil
lion over a 10-year period to
amortize the difference between
the acquisition value and the
original valuation.
Bus Deal Held Up
Mr.. Chalk said he has negoti-
ated the purchase of a large
number of buses but has refused
to sign the orders until he is
sure of the amount of profit he
can expect.
His Congressional franchise
says it would be fair for him to
make 612 per cent either on the
company's gross income from
transit operations of about S25
million a year, or on the COM
pany's rate base" which is
judged by the utilities commits
sion on the value of investment
in streetcar. buses and other
property serving the public.
Mr.. Chalk has formally asked
that the commission calculate
his profits in relation to gross
transit income.

TurnbuII Considers
Race for Governor
Of Maryland in SO

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 4 (P.-
John Grason Turnbull. State
Senator from Baltimore County,
declared yesterday. II am very
seriously considering running for
Governor in 1853"
He is the fourth Democrat to
admit publicly he is harboring
such ambitions. The others are
H. c. Byrd. who was beaten two
years ago by Gov. McKeldin;
Controller Willard Tawes and
Attorney General c. Ferdinand
Sybert.
Senator Turnbull is one of
many so-called Young Turks"
in the Democratic Party who
have been getting together seek
ing ways to restore it as win
ner in Maryland elections.
Mr.. Turnbull, who is majority
leader of the Senate. said he
would mot precipitate any poll
tical fight that would hurt the
Democratic Party or the people
of the State of Maryland"
BY this, he said he meant that
if his fellow politicians might
decide he could strengthen a
ticket by running for some Of
flee other than Governor such as
United States Senator he would
consider it.
II always stick with my
friends" he said.
Mr.. Turnbull will be as years
old later this month. He has
been a State Senator since l948.

OK. on Party Rallies
At u. Of M. Sought
Bill Affecting
Issue Taken Up
In Annapolis
BY Star stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 4.-The
University of Maryland would be
permitted to turn over its facil.
tiles to partisan political meet
ings under terms of a bill being
considered today by the General
Assembly.
The move is direct outgrowth
of the action by University Pres
ident Wilson H. Elkins last fall
in refusing to permit Democrats
to hold a rally for Presidential
Candidate Adlai Stevenson in
the new 12.000-seat Student
Activities Building.
The rally was held in the GYM
nasium of Montgomery Blair
High School in Silver Spring,
which accommodates only about
$500. This irked some Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
County Democratic leaders who
sponsored the affair.
One of these leaders is State
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
jr. of Prince Georges. who headed
a Legislative Council Committee
which drafted a 125-page bill re-
clarifying Maryland election
laws.
Clause Placed in Bill
In the middle of this man,
moth bill. it was learned today.
is a section stating that the
presidents of the University OF
Maryland and other State-sup-
ported colleges shall allow the
use of buildings and audi
torium facilities for public meet
ings, partisan political meetings
and campaign programs OF
any politically party which
polled 10 per cent or more OF
the entire vote cast in the State
in the last preceding general
election"
|. The section also directs county
school superintendents to allow
partisan political meetings in
public school buildings.
1t states that "a reasonable
charge for heating. lighting and
janitor services may be
made"
Policy Set by Regents
DR.. Elkins told The Star today
that he had no choice but to re.
ject the request for the Steven
son rally last fall since the Board
Iof Regents had set a policy two
or three years ago against parti-
san political meetings on the
campus"
This policy was set by the
regents at about the time that
DR.. H. c. Byrd retired from the
university presidency to make an
unsuccessful race as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in
1854.
DR.. Elkins said that as result
Iof the protest raised since re-
fusal last fall. the Regents have
in principle" approved a change
in this policy along the same
lines as the Wheatley bill.
i had hoped that a bill would
not be necessary" DR.. Elkins
said. but we will not oppose it"

Drawing the fire Of the audi
tors was the practice of "canni-
balization," whereby school
projects are postponed or cur
tailed and funds appropriated
for them transferred to other
projects whose costs were under
estimated.
Theodore Herr. a partner in
the auditing firm which has
studied the Board of Education
books for the past six years,
also urged the board to end its
habit of carrying over funds
from year to year.
Projects of any given year
must be started in that year or
cancelled at the end of the year
along with all appropriations
earmarked for use in connection
with them" he suggested.
Cancellation" he add d.
would not mean abandonment
because the cancelled projects
may always be re-proposed in
new programs.
To eliminate the practice OF
.shuffiing funds from one project

Baltimore May Get
New Luxury Hotel

City real estate men and pro-
moters are negotiating with a
major hotel chain for construc-
ton of a multi-million-d dollar
hotel.
If downtown sites for the pro-
posed civic center and a Federal
building are approved. they and
the new hotel would become part
of major downtown redevelop-
ment project which includes a
civic center.
Reports Of the negotiations
were confirmed yesterday by Will
liam Boucher III, executive di-
rector of the Greater Baltimore
Committee.
He declined to name the hotel
chain involved in the negotia-
lions. However, the Hilton Hotel
Corp. announced last June it was
considering a Baltimore venture.

Sweeping changes in the way
Montgomery County spends mil
lions of dollars for school build
ings were recommended last
night by the County Board of
Education's auditors.
The present system is so con-
fused. a report of the Price
Waterhouse e. Co. revealed. that
members Of the School Board
and members of the County
Council seldom know the status
Of any annual capital expendi-
ture program and they seldom
are able to understand the con-
dition Of any given project.
The report. presented to men,
bers of the county's two top
policy-making bodies last night,
stressed. This is not an over
statement of the case.
I'VE, as auditors, can arrive at
any understanding Of these
things only by a most lsborious
process Of analysis and study,
and even then. the understand
ing is illusory and fieeting."

Bill on Sewage
Aid IsP|anned

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 4 (P.-A
special Maryland commission
said yesterday it does not feel
that State aid for construction
of sewage treatment plants in
tidewater towns can be justi-
fed"
But in a report on a study
conducted during the last mopth
the seven-member group headed
by Delegate Tydings. Democrat
of Hartford. proposed several
steps to help communities af-
Iflicted by sewage problems.
1t recommended legislation
which would:
/. Allow municipalities to float
bonds totaling up to 5 per cent
of their assessable property basis
without getting the approval of
the voters. The present limit
lis 8 per cent. and the commits
sion suggested this hamstrings
local officials trying to raise
money to build sewage treat
Iment plants.
2. Give the State Health De-
lpartment sole authority to chan
mel Federal aid money to COM
ImunitieS for construction of
sewage treatment and disposal
facilities.
8. Enable county governments
to set up uniform sanitation dis
tricts.
Delegate Tydings said he and
Senator James, Democrat of
Hartford. will embody these pro-
posals in identical bills each will
introduce in his respective House
'of the Legislature.
The commission said it does
not feel State aid can be justified
for these reasons:
/. Only ga per cent Of the
States total population resides in
the few communities whose sew
age treatment and disposal ia
Icilities are rated substandard by
the Health Department.
2, Federal aid is available to
these if they can show the need
for it.
8. Health hazards resulting
from inadequate sewage facilities
are confined chiefly to the COM
munities themselves and do not
extend, as is widely believed, to
residents of areas several miles
away.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-04

spring should serve as warning
to the party.
Delegation Chairman Blair
Lee III defended the present re-
gional setup and said that Mont
gomery County planning might
never gain reach its present level
if the commission we're split into
two purely local agencies"
Mr.. Lee said he leans toward
the plan voted by the Montgom-
cry County Council for a locally
appointed l0-member commits
sion. with five coming from each
county and serving as county
planning boards for their coun-
ties.
Delegate GUIDE, who has ia
vored separate planning agencies
in the past. made no commit
ments yesterday.
Mrs. Schweinhaut can look for
support this year from some of
the Prince Georges delegates. A
poll by The Star last month
showed three of that county's
six delegates leaning toward the
separate planning idea she
favors.
The two delegations are sched-
uled to hold their first joint
meeting next week.

on Mr.. Chalk's request
for Qualification of the commit
tees intent on the factors to

Mr.. Harris said the Conference
Committees report was thorough

Senator Mcnamara, Democrat
OF Michigan. chairman of the

feels Mr.. Chalk's dispute with
the District Commissioners and
the District Public Utilities Com
mission over factors involved in
computing his profits should be
settled downtown.
Mr.. Chalk conferred on
Wednesday with the Commits
sioners and yesterday with the
Public Utilities Commission
seeking to determine the amount
of profit he may expect from
operating the transit system.

sion has ordered him to show
