SO Attend
Hearing on
City Budget

Rockville's proposed 1853
50 budget of $1.59 million
with a recommended five-cent
tax increase brought out some
so citizens at the public hear
ing last week.
This was double the number of
those interested at previous
years budget hearings. M S t
spoke in favor of items included
in Acting City Manager Milton
B. Millions budget or urged addi-
tons.
Former Mayor Dickran Y. How
sepian, member of the audience
for the first time since his cleo
ton in 1854, was the only speaker
protesting the tax increase.
Hovsepian took issue with Mil
Ions proposed 33 percent increase
in the city staff or an addition
of Is new employees. The former
mayor pointed out that a $40 mil
lion increase in the tax base
would only bring $48,652 in in
creased revenue whereas the ap-
proximate cost of additional sala-
ries would be $4,000.
A slow program of modest in
creases in personnel each year
was urged by Hovsepian. AS an
example, he said that a new
assistant manager and a new pur-
chasing agent need not be added
at one time.
Millions request for $4,000 for
new city vehicles could also be
taken in slower stages, Hovsepian
said. The large number of con-
struction projects was also FUN
fair to the taxpayers" as the city
expected no "windfalls" in the
coming year from Federal or
State grants.
TWinbrook Citizens ASsocia-
ton, represented by Robert L.
Saloschin, chairman of library
and land use committee, and Ken
Kaisai, of the executive board,
urged the purchase of II acres
of vacant land at the southeast
corner of Viers Mill and Atlantic
Avenue.
The Twinbrook people want
this tract, the only open land in
the area, reserved for park and
possible future construction of a
branch library or teen center.
Its purchase would increase the
value to the city of an adjacent
two acres owned by it but now
undeveloped. Saloschin proposed
that $4,000 be included in the
budget as an approximate price.
Construction of another teen
center to cost $4,000 at Elwood
Smith Park in Hungerford Towne
was urged by Woodrow w. Ste
venson, president of the Hunger
ford Towne Citizens Association.
A. ]. Tuchtan, retiring chair
man of the Civic Center Commits
sion, also asked that the Civic
Center auditorium be built this
year with an appropriation of
$4,000 to $4,000 over the $125,-
900 now available from a bond
issue.
Donald Burke, executive secre-
tary of the Rockville Chamber
of Commerce, gave notice that
his organization is planning city
wide participation in Christmas
program. Detailed plans would
be submitted for the councils
approval in the Fall, Burke said.
Council members said that any
sum requested from the city to
support the program could come
out of contingency funds
James M. Gribble, 1912 Craw-
ford Drive, led a group of Rock
crest citizens who asked that a
storm drainage project in the Ed
monston Drive area be started
this year instead of 1859.

Thurman Offers First Amendment To Statehood Bill

WASHINGTON, LR - Sen. Her man Talmadge D-Ga)s contended that arguments for Alaska state hood have their basis in ideal ism. rather than realism stem from emotion rather than logic.''
 The former Georgia governor, picking up the southern opposi- tion, spoke as the Senate speeded up it's schedule in the third day of debate on the statehood bill
 The first formal proposal for amendment of the bill reached the Senate, submitted by Sen. trom Thurmond D-SC), it would require congressional concurrence before the President could create military reservation areas in Nor thern and Western Alaska As the bill stands the executive could act on his own.
 The substantial division among the citizens of Alaska about the 1lldtIC1 O1 oIdtC41OONt, d1IlldOSC said, is in itself a reason for Congress to go slow.
 Rather than ease AIaska's eco- homie problems, the Georgian said, statehood might aggravate them because of the withdrawal of federal assistance in footing the bills of government.
 On the other side of the issue, Sen. John Kennedy urged pas sage of the bill as a demonstra- tion that the United States is able gradually yet effectively to liquidiate it's colonial relation ships"
 Kennedy said Alaska has "giv- en convincing demonstration of it's capacity to fulfill the respon- abilities of statehood" Its case for statehood, he said, can stand on it's own merits.

Spiritual Truths Cleaned From
 The News
 Contributed By Nome Gospel Home

From LeTourneau Techs Now
 The other day, as President Eisenhower walked from the White House to the executive of flee building, for a meeting with newsmen, the sun was shining beautifully; and numerous evi- dence of Spring were apparent.
 The President opened his news conference with a broad grin, and remarked that there was a real revolution in Washington weather And he advised the reporters to go to their Bibles and read verses II and 12 of the second chapter of the Song of Solomon.
 Here is the passage: For, 10, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers ap- pear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (dove) is heard in our land.'
 After a long, cold and stormy winter, all manifestations of Spring sunshine, flowers, sing ing birds, and cooing doves-are most welcome! It is only natural that the President should smile and call attention to such rev OlutiOn in the weather"
 Many persons when first con- fessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, use that passage of Scrip ture to express the great spiritual change which occurred. They passed from the cold, damp, murmuring condition of sin and unbelief into the bright and glorious joy of the Lord.
 One song writer rendered it thus:
 Heaven above is softer blue,
 Earth around is richer green
 Something lives in every hue
 Christless eyes have never seen.
 Birds with gladder songs
 o'erflow,
 Flowers with deeper beauty
 shine,
 Since I know, as now I know
 I am Christ's sand He is mine!"
 In His presence there is full ness of joy; and at His right hand, pleasures for evermore. Psalm 15:1D

Whenever you're bowling in
practice to improve some phase
Of your game, try to have at
least one person bowling with
you who's a better bowler. Such
q person can spot any flaws or
mistakes in your game and help
you correct them.
II you bowl only with people
who don't bowl well, chances
are they can't help you any.
Bowling with good bowlers
gives you more incentive and
viii make you concentrate
more.
Good bowlers can help each
other adjust to alley conditions;
poor bowlers can't.
Finally. you can learn more
Just from watching good bowl

watching poor bowlers, you

Dukes defeats was at the hand;
Of lowly South Carolina at Co.
lumbia.
Virginia had lost five Of It's
last six games and had dropped
to 8-12' for the season before
its big victory.
Figure to Play Terps
It appears almost certain
that Virginia, in fifth place
will meet Maryland, the fourth
place team. in the 8 pm. game
in the first round Of the tour
nament. They were first-rouno
opponents last year. with Mary
land winning, 71-68.
Virginia led Duke at half
time, 1926, with Dick Stobbs
scoring the final four points Of
the half on a field goal and
two free throws.
The Blue Devils didn't catch
up until the last minute and
a half, although it was close all
the way.
The only points Of the first
overtime were q field goal by
Paul Schmidt Of Duke and one
by Busch. Bobby Joe Harris
scored for Duke in the second
overtime. and Mortell sank
two free throws to tie il
up. John Siewers, Paul Adkins
and Busch scored in the third
for Virginia.
Adkins led the Cavaliers in
playmaking, scoring and engi-
neered the victory.
Duke still is without Bucky
