orators OF proposed new PEPCC
power plant to be built in NARY
land which originally had beer
proposed for a site in Loudoun
County, Va.
Mr.. Smith, in reply to a letter
from Senator Butler. retorted
that the Maryland site was Sc
leeted to comply with your de-
mand that it remove the site OF
the new dam from the space
voluntarily selected by the COM
pany as the most feasible and
economical to a site selected by
Maryland taxpayers in the in
terest OF reducing their taxes

The exchange of letters was
released today by Senator But

throughout the letters reflected
some Of the bitterness of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fight over To-
cation of the PEPCO power plant
which the company says will
serve its customers in Mont
gomery County. Md.
Disturbed by Reports
Senator Butler said he had
been disturbed by renorts on
Mr.. Smiths position concern
ing the PEPCO dam bill.
p Naturally. you experienced a
disappointment when PEPCO
decided to erect this project in
Montgomery County. Md, in
stead of in Loudoun County,
Va.
= This hardly justifies, how
ever obstacles being strewn in
the path of this important prof.
4ect and. reports to the contrary,
/ do not believe that you would
use the high position you hold
as chairman of the Committee
on Rules of the House of Repre-
asentatives to withhold conSidera-

Butler said.
Senator Butler said the
situation would be clarified in

Hearing SET
On Freeway

The Virginia Highway Depart
ment will hold a public hearing

ton Of the 22-mile circumferen-
tial expressway through Airing.
ton, Fairfax and Alexandria
The hearing will be held at IL
am. at the Annandale High
School.
The controlled-access freeway
will swing across country from
the Potomac River opposite
Cabin John. Md, to the proposed
Potomac bridge at Jones Point

the Virginia highway with major
Maryland roads.
The expressway, to bear the
route number SO. is part of the
Federal interstate highway net
work. Public hearings are re-
CURED on the location of all
parts of the system.
Highway officials said only
preliminary studies have been
made for the freeway. But plans
are expected to be finished for
the first seven-mile section this
year. and officials hope construc-
ton contracts can be awarded
early next year.
The freeway will probably be
built in three sections, each
about seven miles long. A num-
Der Of traffic interchanges will
be planned where existing roads
will intersect the loop highway
The circumferential road is
one Of the 10 routes to which
Virginia has given high priority
in its program to build Virginia s
1872 miles of interstate routes
to controlled-access standards
The Federal Government will
pay UP to 80 per cent of the
costs of the interstate roads.

Dear Mr.. East;

Dear Mr.. East:
I have read with interest an
article, THE Iconoclast of Petal,
Mississippi, switch appeared in
the March q issue Of The Report
or. 1t goes without saying that
the title was intriguing, but the
article itself caused one to forget
the title
Certainly you and share a bit
/ of common philosophy; namely,
that people most often can stand
to be rebuked when they cannot
endure being laughed at 7 think
that the latter, on many occasions,
is far more effective because then
the offender is less likely to at
/ tempt to defend the indefensible
and more likely to indulge min
! trospectjon.
Although I'm not native of
Mississippi, | feel that to some de-
| gree my roots are there in that my
maternal grandmother was freed
as a slave from Louis Thompson's
plantation at Canton, Mississippi
and she and my mother moved to
Nashville, Tennessee in 1890. Al
though i can no longer lay claim
| to youth, "reminiscences OF my
/ grandmother are fresh IN my
memory. For that reason, ] have
never had a burning desire to be-
come a resident of that state.
/ cannot, however, bring myself
/ to believe that even IN Mlssls-
sippi. Louisiana, Arkansas or Tex
as that white people as indlvld-
uafs are as unreasoning and
unreasonable in their prejudices
and consequent overt treatment
of Negroes as often we are led to
believe. One must, therefore, ask
oneself if it isn't a matter of con-
forming to a pre-Civil War social
/ order.
/ When one looks the facts square
1 ly in the face, it would seem that
with most of us, tradition becomes
sacrosanct. | cannot escape the
conviction that people as individ-
Euals, whatever their color, are

WHERE the money goes. and
this analysis can be Of con-
siderable help in stretching the
available dollars.
Sometimes. the only answer
is somehow to increase the
income. considering how high
costs are. these days. But by
studying our expenses, we
often can manage quite a BIT
better than before on the same
income.
A good book from the public
library may be just what we
need to pep up our enthusiasm
for managing things better
One good one is Managing
Your Money" by j. K. LASER
and S. F. Porter.

the authors made. They said:
There Is no point in
slashing any allowance be-
yOnd the famlly's desires or
capabilities. II this Is done,
the family won't stick to the
plan, and time and enthu-
siasm win be wasted"
We agree. A budget has t.
be reasonable or it can't bs
made to work.

they go about budgeting.
One man told us this:
MY wife and / must have
gone on budget about 5000
times - an exaggeration, Of
course. And it failed each time.
I'VE are both on the extrav-
agant side, and thought we
should do something to curb
our expenditures.
THE first time we really
went at 1t in q big way, I
bought charts. My wife bought
books on the subject. We read
the books. We filled in the
charts. But what happened?
'It got nerve wracking. We
quarreled over the way the
money was spent: not serious
", but / stiIl call it quarrel
ing. or pickering. or having
little spats.
Finally. however, after
many trials, We devised the
simplest kind of system that
we've stuck to for the last
couple years"
His system, he told us, was
sort Of 70 half" budget. In
other words, don't be too in
tense about the thing. Don't
!. try to do everything the
charts and books tell you to
do. Meet the thing halfway
at least as q start.
This man first decided TO
give his wife money each week
for groceries. beverages and
other household expenses. They
both agreed the amount was
very generous. Any money she
saved was TO be hers. to use
as she saw fit. The rest Of
the expenses he took care Of.
including clothing, payments
on their home. travel, medical
expenses. 1t was the most ele-
mentary kind Of plan.
MY wife made money on
the deal" he said. And ! had
to buckle down to meet my
payments. 1t wasn't exactly
budgeting, but it put us on
the right track"

Many OF you nave held TO the
new way Of managing. that you
worked out after the latest
I. crisis.
But it's not easy to stick
with q budget. It can be done,
however. Il approached in q
fairly reasonable manner.
One Of the troubles Is that
s once we decide to budget we
do It with such vehemence
and determination we cut
down everything to the
bone and to the point
where tempers fare, teeth
gnash and, well, everybody
: around the house seems to
hate everybody else.
We've read Of divorces over
budgets. One woman, we
recall. left hubby because he
sneaked money from her gro-
Gerry allotment money she'd
put aside at his request.
Another woman. we heard
somewhere or other. walked
out over a tooth-paste dispute.
The husband was supposed to
pay for the toothpaste. That
didn't come under their budget
covering the groceries she was
supposed to pay for. 1t came
etlnder drug store purchases,
hat he was supposed to make.
lie argued that he bought the
: oothpaste at a Supermarket.
It's obvious neither couple
had much of a sense of humor
about budgeting. She bitterly
opposed him. Was it her fault,
<'he cried, that that crazy mar
exet decided to sell toothpaste
which should only be purchased
Eat a drugstore?
Oh well. We suppose they're
happier apart now but
it's obvious their budget was
too stiff and stern
A sense of humor is needed
without question, even wher
1T comes to budgets. There has
ito be q little give and take,
There has to be elasticity;
there has to be cooperation
Tor the whole idea might just
sas well be tossed right out the
window.
