Star Staff Writer


With months of budget
worries behind them, top
Defense officials and their
wives took advantage Of the
holiday lull before the OPEN
ing of Congress to relax last
night and enjoy a pre-Christ-
mas dinner given by Army
Secretary and Mrs. WILDER
M. Brucker.
The party at the Fort
Myer Officers Club honored
"the first soldier of the
United States Army" as Sec
retary Brucker hailed Army
Chief of Staff Lyman L.
Lemnitzer, and Mrs. Lemnit-
ger.
Secretary Brucker in an
after-dinner toast cited Gen.
Lemnitzer as "a distinguished
career officer with magnifl-
cent determination, who con-
ducts things with a degree of
fairness to ALL"
Actually, the dinner was
the Bruckers' first opportuni-
ty to honor the Lemnitzers
of1cially since he assumed
the Chief of Staff post be-
cause concentration on bud
get hearings has curtailed
much formal entertaining in
recent months.
JeSts OF Hard Work
So there was a lot of good
natured bantering about the
hard work that was now be-
hind them.
Noting Secretary Brucker's
observation that he and Mrs.
Brucker were happy that the
opportunity to honor the
Lemnitzers came during the
festive season. Gen. Lemnit-
ger said whimsically, I'm
glad you mentioned the CAL
endar year. There are a lot
Of people present who only
think in fiscal years.
Setting the mood for the
party was the gay holiday
decor of the officers club it
self. Arriving guests noted
two huge lighted Christmas
trees on either side of the
entrance. Inside the club.
large poinsettia plants were
set about the downstairs and
in the upstairs foyer to
the ballroom, where the
dinner was held. Large over
size snowflake decorations
sparkled from the ceiling.
Red Christmas candle CEN
terpieces completed the fes-
tive picture. An Army Band
ensemble played for dancing
throughout the dinner, and
the evening was climaxed
with a program of Christmas
music by the Army Chorus.
A surprise toast Of the
evening was a salute to Mrs.
Brucker, who celebrates her
birthday today. 1t will be a
family celebration as the
Bruckers left this morning
to spend Christmas in De-

Alexandra
Budget Is
Agreed On

The Alexandria City Council
and School Board have resolved
what appears to be the last
doubtful issue concerning the
city's proposed budget.
The School Board agreed to
accept an ALLEGATION which win
be only $4,000 less than the
more than $50 million It orig
inally requested.
An unanticipated increase in
Federal aid will more than COM
pensate for the reduction in
school funds supplied by the
city.
The budget agreed upon in d
meeting Of the council and
school board last night win
permit establishment Of a new
teacher pay scale ranging from
$4,000 to $1,000.
1t also will allow the board
TO employ is or more addi-
tional persons for the school
system If need for them de-
velops.
City Manager Edward G.
Heatwole earlier cut $27S,00O
from the school boards budget
request, but the funds were
restored following demands
from PTA groups and a 40
cent increase in real estate
taxes.
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
said the council virtually has
completed work on the budget
which will approach $l3 mill
lion.

Basin in this tidewater hamlet
Of Charles County. He had two
complaints to make against
congressional action last year
on the Army Engineer Corps
study Of the Potomac.
First. he pointed out, the
$4,000 appropriation was too
small. The corps had asked
100000. the same amount re-
quested this year to help COM
plete the study by 1861.
Hits Gripping Laws
Second. Mr.. Landlord said,
he opposes Gripping limita-
tons" such as that imposed
last year on the appropriation
measure by Senator Robertson,
Democrat Of Virginia. This
restricted the survey, he pointed
out, to the Potomac Valley
upstream from Harpers Ferry,
w. Va. Most of the Virginia
tributaries to the Potomac
enter the river below that point,
and the Virginia delegation
has resisted Federal investiga-
ton Of Virginia streams.
Mr.. Lsnkford said these ac-
lions last year were "unfor-
tunate."
"The legislative history of
the survey is crystal clear" he
asserted. Congress irtended
1t to be a comprehensive sur
vey of the entire river"
Urges Basin Study
"Only a comprehensive study
covering the entire river basin
and all water uses will produce

decisions can be made.

Two other amendments pro-
vide for replacement Of Balti-
more's part-time lower court
system with eleven full-time
Judges and a lifting of the
present ban against sitting
judges in the city having oppo-
sition at election time. At
present judges run only against
their own record.
A fifth amendment would
clear up an error in an amend
ment voted last year which
allowed circuit court judges to
fill vacancies in their counties
states attorney posts.
Authority to Take Land
Two other measures would
give Montgomery and Balti-
more counties the same author

soon as they put up funds to
pay the owner for the land.
Towns and charter counties
would get authority to particle
pate in urban renewal programs
and to condemn land for urban
renewal under another amend
ment.
The other amendments to be
put on the 1860 ballot would:

authority to allow the board Of
public works through the State
Treasurer to borrow money in
cases Of emergency.

opinion was returned yesterday.
The ruling was requested by
the American Federation of
State. County and Municipal
Employees. For more than a

attempts to meet with the

edly rejected a meeting, say
ing nothing in its laws specif1-
cally authorizes negotiations

threatened a limited strike or

ton pending the appeal to the

is based on a 1945 decision of

legislature, there is the pos
sibility of at least two other
questions being put to the
voters on a Statewide basis.
They are the Potomac River
Compact and Gov. Tawes' rae
Ing commission ripper bill.
Must be Advertised
Carl Everstine. head of the
department of legislative ref
erence said there have been
about $50 amendments pro-
posed to the out-moded and
cumbersome Constitution of
1867 which still is in effect.
About three-fourths of them
have been accepted by the
voters, Mr.. EverStine said.
The Constitution require S
that the full text of the amend
sfnents be published in two
papers in each of the % coun-
ties and three Baltimore city
newspapers once a week for
four weeks just prior to the
election.
This could be a fairly costly
proposition for the State.
Il In 1858, with only three
amendments, the advertising
costs ran $7,011.
y Five of the amendments rep
resent changes in the State
judiciary.
Two of the bills would add
new circuit court judges for
Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties.
The Prince Georges amend
ment would increase the res
ident judges from two to four
and would provide for the posts
to be filled initially by guber-
material appointment.
The Montgomery measure
would increase from four to five
the judges allotted that county
but would provide for the post
to be filled by election in 1862.
Both amendments provide for
exceptions to the constitutional
prohibition against legislators

The legislator asserted poll

cially In the tidewater area be-

The economic future Of the
tidewater counties in both
Maryland and Virginia depends
to a large degree on clean,

Wants Federal Action
Mr.. Landlord added it is
high time Congress recognize
its responsibility in sharing the
cost Of cleaning up the Potomac.
Last Monday he and three other
Congressman introduced legis.
lation authorizing Federal APP
preparations toward this end.
The measures, he said, rep
resent a realistic straight-for-
ward approach" to a problem
that rests in Congress lap.

Element Of an inter-agency

Involved In the deadlock over

sthe George Washington Me-

Maryland shore Of the Poto-
mac.
: The Maryland State Road
Commission and the Maryland

sproved a route which swings
east Of Route 240 below River
sroad, follows the Cabin John
Greek valley and connects with
sthe memorial parkway after
passing under the Macarthur
J boulevard bridge over the val
ley.
Park Service Differs
But the National Park Serv-
Ice has recommended another

ley and the high Macarthur
boulevard bridge. This align
ment veers due north Just
above Cabin John Park, cuts
through three subdivided blocks
in Cabin John between Seven
tg-fifth street and Seventy-fifth
place and reaches the memorial
parkway via a new bridge over
Macarthur boulevard.
Both routes are designed to
permit traffic moving between
the Cabin John Valley and the
District to bypass Route 240's
