The urge to grow plants from
cuttings is sort Of traditiona
and not simply a device tt
avoid buying plants from the
nurseries as some will claim.
Dozens Of gardeners do it fol
the satisfaction Of creating new
plants.
Usually they give away the
products Of their efforts.
Most Of this effort is devoted
TO producing plants from cut
tings as only a few attempt the

Smith Urges
Vote in Stute
By the Associated Press

Representative Smith, Demo-
crat Of Virginia, today sug-
gested that Virginiains be per-
mitted to vote on repeal of a
State constitutional provision
which he said now calls for OPP
GRAFTON of integrated schools.
Mr.. Smith wrote State Sena-
tor MoSby G. Perrow that court
decisions now leave "the people
Of Virginia chained to q con-
stitution that has been out
NODDED by judicial decisions and
which we are required by those
decisions to violate"
Mr.. Perrow as chairman Of
q commission studying possible
moves to roll back indignation
in Virginia public schools had
invited Virginia Congressman
to present their ideas at hear
ings today.
Mr.. Smith, dean OF the Vir-
GINA congressional delegation,
wrote that no one knows what
the verdict from the people
would be.
II see no reason why they
would not be willing to have
the manner and method Of
public education left to the
elected legislators in the light
of the present dilemma. 1t
certainly would not mean the
abolition Of public education,
unless the people Of Virginia
who have the right to make
the determination should so
decide"
The alternatives, Smith said.
are private schools with tuition
grants from the State. or in
tegration.
You and I know that the
agitators from without the
State who exert a powerful in
f1uence will not submit to token

SeIf-Moiming Rocket
By Prisoners Probed

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 6 tAP)-
An Eastern Shore Senator said
today he Is investigating EVIL
dence that Maryland prisoners
have deliberately m I'm e d
themselves TO collect workmen's
compensation for injuries.
The probe was being UNDER
taken by Senator John Clar-
ence North, Democrat Of Tai
bot. q member Of q legislative
committee which yesterday was
told prisoners are working
some rackets" in this field.
II have been told that In one
case q prisoner Is believed to
have deliberately cut on part
of a finger to collect compen-
sation," Mr.. North said.
"In another case a prisoner
is said to have slammed a door
on his hand.

intended for application to such
cases"
Mr.. North has asked ofiicials

The Virginia officials pointed
out that one Of the more i'm
portant advantages Of a utility
tax is that 1t broadens the tax
base without putting the load
on q few residents.
They cited the fairness Of
the tax in that 1t is applied
both to the renters Of the homes
as well at home owners, making
1t a users tax.
Mr.. Johnston said the tax
last year netted Falls Church
about $4,000. Enacted there
in 1855, it even enabled the
city that year to lower its tax
rate on personal property.
In Alexandria, Mr.. Heatwole
said the levy, approved in 1854,
last year brought in more than
$588.000. all of which. like
Falls Church, went into the
city's general fund.
Mr.. Reese told the Mont
gomery council the l0-cent in
crease required If the utility
tax is not approved would be
added to a 39-cent increase
already called for.
The Alexandra and Falls
Church managers agreed that
without a utility levy the per-
sonal property and real estate
taxes in both cities would be
considerably higher than they
are now" Alexandfia's personal
property tax will go up this
year as it is, officials said.

Fare Subsidy
Hearing Slated

School fare subsidy legisla-

q hearing before a House Dis
trict Subcommittee next week.
Subcommittee ch arm q n

ida. has called District Gov
eminent and D. c. Transit
System officials to q session set
for 1880 am. Tuesday in the
full committee hearing room.
Pending are two bills. both
sponsored for the first time
last year by House District
Committee Chairnan McMil-
Ian. Democrat Of South Caro-
lima. An annual subsidy Of
s500,000 would be granted D. C.
Transit by the city In differ
ent ways by each bill.
One would empower the
Commissioners to buy pupils
tickets at the full 20-cent rate
and to sell them to youngsters
at the l0-cent school fare
price. The other would require
the Public Utilities Commission
to figure each June 80 the
amount of difference between
school fares and full fares, II
pupils had paid 20 cents in the
previous year. Then, the Com
missioners would reimburse

ident Of the Board. favors leg
islation on the theory that the
city rather than q private
transit firm should subsidize
lower transit rates for children.

would cost too much money.

said the tax has met with little
opposition and has benefited
all concerned"
The Montgomery controversy
began when County Manager
M. L. Reese, while submitting
a. record l959-60 budget total
ing $72.1 million, called for a
3.5 per cent tax on utility bills
to help with expenses.
Advantages Cited
In referring to the popularity
of their utility tax system, City
Managers Edward q. Heatwole
Of Alexandria and Lewis z.
Johnston, Falls Church. gave
three explanations: 1t helps to
keep down the real estate and
personal property tax rates:
it's a users tax which usually
is more acceptable to taxpayers,
and it's cheap to administer,
which saves the city money.
Other than a few grumblings
when the tax was first APP
proved In the two cities, the
managers said, citizen COM
plants have almost been nom
existent.
THE people apparently agree
with the city that it's a fair
levy" Mr.. Heatwole said.
Both Alexandria and Falls
Church use the same formula,
officials said.
This consists Of a 10 per cent
tax each month on every users
telephone. water, electricity and
gas bills up to $50 each.
Charitable and non-profit
organizations are exempted.
All Users Pay
The $50 limit was set to quell
complaints from residents who
use cas- to heat their homes
rather than coal or oil, neither
of which is classed as a utility.
This, the managers said, ended
public opposition.

Last year the school board
found itself without :. sewer or

Only One Site Backed
Raymond Waple criticized q

near Route so. which is sched-
uled to be widened into a four
lane highway. Mrs. wilkins
also said there was no explain
alton of the contractual status
Of the site.
She said the commission
probably will approve sites that
already are purchased even
though there might be some OBJ
lection to them. Only one site
drew favorable comments.
The commission also recon-
mended approval Of the recon-
ing of % acres for industrial
use at Shirley Industrial Park,
Shirley highway and Edsall
road.
The acreage. owned by the
Northern Virginia Construction

school board to Justify them.
School officials said they did
not know II the commissions

struction plans. Five Of the
sites are for junior high schools

An upward revision Of State
revenue estimates next week
may clear the way for another
round Of pay raises for Mary
land schoolteachers.
Il Gov. Tawes and school off,
cials repeatedly have agreed on
a salary plan which would give
teachers an average $500 Inc
crease over the next four years
He will find out Monday Il

Gov. Tawes and school on
|cials agree TO q long-range plan
for financing q boost in State
minimums requested by the
State teachers association.
$500 Raise Last Year
The Legislature last year
granted teachers a $500 In.
crease and financed 1t with q
new cigarette tax. This brought
the State minimum salary scale
to new levels Of S. 400 for start
ing teachers and $4,000 for
those with II years or more
experience.
The teachers association has
been seeking to boost this
guaranteed scale to new levels
of $4,000 for starters and $4,000
for veterans.
But its spokesman say an
average State outlay Of only
$500 per teacher will be re-
quired. since every political
subdivision Of the State ex-
cept Garrett County already
pays at least $500 to start.
The salary in Garrett is So
400 and presumably would have
to be raised by $500 at the
local level for the State boost
to be applied.
