The Air Force Association
was accused by Chairman
Hebert of the House Armed
Services Investigations SUBJ
committee today of trying to
influence military policy deci-
SionS.
Peter J. Schenk, president of
the association consisting
largely of companies holding
defense contracts, denied that
it does any more than carry on
educational and research activ-
ity in an effort to cooperate
with the Defense Department.
Lots of groups and maya
zines comment on military de-
cisions," he told the committee.
But they don't try to influ-
ence military decisions" Repre-
sentative Hebert, Democrat of
Louisiana, said. You involve
yourselves in military decisions
on such things as weapons
questions and air defense
systems.

Sees Unity Injured

Referring to the associations
advocacy of the Thor missile
over the Jupiter missile and the
Bomarc over the Nike, Mr.
Ebert declared:
Those were military deci-
sions. Do you think this con-
tributes to the unity of the
country to confuse the public
on what should be done?"
Mr.. Hebert said he did MOI
question the propriety of the
associations publication of &
magazine setting forth views or
defense matters. He observed
however, that the magazine re.
ceives more than 100000 &
year in advertising revenue
mostly from defense contrac.
tors, and that its 100000 il
membership fees came mainly
from companies holding defense
contracts.

To Reorganize
Party Setup
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star Stan Writer

/
ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 30
Gov. Tawes today said he and
other Democratic leaders are
working on a major reorgan-
ization of the party's central
committee in preparation for
next years presidential cam
paign. He said party leaders
also are hopeful of avoiding a
presidential primary battle.
The Governor said that
Chairman T. Barton Harring-
ton feels he ought to be per-
mitted to resign"
The Governor said that he is
for the establishment of a full
time party headquarters Office
stated with a permanent Sec
rotary.
Such an Office, headed by
a good, dynamic, Woodworking
chairman" has beer his goal
since he took Office last jan
uary.
Hope to Bar Split
The Governor said that State
political leaders are still hope
full that Maryland can avoid a
presidential primary battle.
Il have talked with leaders
from all over the State and
they seem to agree that it
would be to the ADVANTAGE of
Maryland to go to the ma
tional convention uncommitted
to any individual candidate, ="
Gov. TaweS said.
He added that a primary
fight might be unavoidable if
any of the leading presiden-
tial aspirantS such as Sen
ators Humphrey of Minnesota
johnson of Texas or Kennedy
of Massachusetts, should file
in Maryland's preferential
primary.
Sees Little to Gain
He pointed out that other
than to prove their popularity
the presidential hopefuls have
little to gain in Maryland. State
election laws require delegates
to the national convention tC
support a primary winner only
as long as they feel he has q
chance of securing the nomina
tion.
AS to the possibility of his
running as a "favorite son" tc
discourage top presidential
hopefuls. Gov. Tawes said eve
will cross that bridge when We
come to it,"
New Job Hinted
Mr.. Harrington has beer
mentioned as a possible guber-
material selection as either
clerk to the new State Tax
Court or as a member of the
Baltimore City Orphans Court
If he resigns as Democratic
chairman, Secretary of State
Thomas B. Finan, David Hume
of Charles County or j. Newton
Brewer, jr.. of Montgomery
County are regarded as possible
successors.
Mr.. Hume, who served as
Southern Maryland regional
campaign chairman for the
Democrats last year, recently
was named to the board of nat
ural resources.

QUESTION funds. The amount
is included in the budget.
OF this total, planners have
asked for a grant of $3.50, 00C
which they would match with
a SIS million bond issue. The
House cut the grant to $15o. 600
to be matched with a 100000
issue.
Hearings Next Week
Commission officials stiIl are
hopeful the full amount will be
restored by the Senate. Hear
ings will be held next week
they said.
In the 1901 900 cut, $500. 00o
was lost when the Maryland
Assembly authorized Prince
Georges County park bond
purchase authority of only
$500, 900. The request was for
81 million.
The balance of 1901 900 was
lost when an original request
for Capper- Cramton funds had
to be delayed a year for lack
of a Federal supplemental ap-
preparation.
The budget takes into ac-
count receipts expected from
the commissions tax rate in
crease approved by both Prince
georges and Montgomery
Counties. In both counties the
planning tax went from 8 to 4
cents per 500 assessed valua-
ton. The park tax in Mont
gomery went from 10 to IL
cents and in Prince Georges,
from 8 to 10 cents.
Where Funds viii Go
Breaking down its budget,
the commission has allotted
$2.9 million for expansion, de-
velopment and operation Of its
parks; SIS million for park
acquisition under Capper-
Cramton; $l02 million for ad-
vance park acquisition; $7ll.80C
for administration; $4,000 for
development of Little Falls
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-28

Branch Park and $83,078 for
bond debt service.
Added to the administration
item was $4,000 for a topog-
raphy study of the 16.000-acre
Henson Creek watershed In
Oxon Hill. This will lead to
a general development plan for
the area.
In its park purchase proposal
for the $400. 900 bond issue in
Prince Georges, the commission
added neighborhood playground
sites in Chillum and Avondale
at a cost of $1,000 each.
For a similar 100000 bond
program in Montgomery
County, planners added a park
site in Rosemary Hills at a
cost of $4,000.

Mr.. Woodbridge said.
Systems Compared
The county school system
presently is set up under q
program that calls for sever
years Of grammar school anc
five years of high school. The
intermediate plan would have
six years Of grammar school
two of intermediate school
and four Of high school.
The intermediate plan, which
is to go in operation in the
fall Of 1860, has been criticized
by the County Taxpayers Al
lance as too expensive. A
Joint meeting of the schoo
board and the Board Of County
Supervisors was held recently
Ito discuss these charges.
| The supervisors took no &C.
ton. But last week they
agreed to a motion by Super.
visor Thomas s. Gray to ash
the school board for more facts
on the intermediate system.
Mr.. Woodbridge outlined X

If the present Us system
were followed, Mr.. Woodbridge
said, the construction program
would call for 10 elementary
