County Board
Holds Line on
Arlington Tax
Personal Property,
Reel Estate Levy.
To Remain Same
By PAUL HOPE
star stan Writer

The Arlington County Board
voted three-to-two today to
hold the line on taxes.
The board voted to hold q
public hearing April 20 on q
$3l million budget and keep
the real estate tax rate at its
present level of $3.54 per 500
evaluAtion and the personal
property tax rate at $4.39.
Leo UrbanSke and Herbert
Brown held out for advertising
a 12-cent increase in the real
estate tax to give the board
"leeway" in its deliberations
on the budget. Their position
was overridden by Chairman
David Krupsaw. Ralph Kaul
and DR.. Lucas Blevins.
Schools Asked Rise
The school board had asked
for an increase of 10 cents in
the tax rate to finance school
operations next year. However,
ia cents Of this proposed in
crease was requested on the
supposition that the Federal
Government might not provide
as much aid next year as the
school board has set up in its
$l2.9 million budget.
Mr.. KrupSaw led the move to
advertise existing tax rates.
Il think the Arlington County
Board is faced with an oppor-
tunity and challenge to main
tain the tax rate it should not
ignore" Mr.. Krupsaw said.
Mr.. Krupsaw said he believes
the school board can be fur
niShed sufficient funds with the
present tax rate. He noted that
the school board expects to
have a $552.000 surplus at the
end Of the current fiscal year
and that the tax rate was raised
Is cents last year partly on the
basis that more money was
needed for school operations.
No Tax for Surplus
Mr.. Kaul said he agreed that
I'VE should not tax the tax
payers to carry forward q sur
plus next year"
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg has proposed an Sl8.l mil
lion for general county opera
tions. other than schools, which
would not require an increase.
Mr.. UrbanSke said he would
like to see pay increases given
to police and firemen and some
other items included In the
county budget. The only pay
increases proposed by Mr..
Lundberg are the annual auto
matte increases under the
county pay plan.
Mr.. Brown said he thought
the board should have leeway
by advertising for a tax in
crease, but he said he was not
committing himself to approve
an increase. He said he wanted
to make sure that by taking a
breather this year the county
will not have to run twice as
fast next year"

Trim or Tax!
It'sUp toCity
House Unit Creates
Budget Dilemma
BY JAMES G. DEANE
star star Writer

A fiscal dilemma faced the
District today as a result Of
House committee action virtu-
ally requiring either . tax rise
or extra trimming Of the city's
next budget.
The Appropriations Commit
tee. reporting q $237.l86.ll2
spending bill. yesterday called
on the commissioners to In
crease property taxes SIG mil
lion or reduce expenditures by
that amount.
The House unit also rec
commended a $25 million Fed
eral payment. 81 million less
than the city had urged, and
sliced sos million of the Com
missioners' spending proposals.
The actions. particularly the
virtual tax ultimatum and the
Withholding Of the full Federal
grant. brought expressions Of
concern from city officials.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin, after comforting with
Schuyler Lowe, general adj
ministration director. and D.
Peter Herman. deputy budget
officer. issued a statement ex-
| pressing disappointment.
Lament on Parking
Besides the Federal payment,
the statement referred to the
committees failure to provide
for what were termed some
seriously needed services, in
GLIDING a larger staff for the
Laurel Md Children's Gen.
ter of the Welfare Department
and for the Health Depart
ment's new mental health
bureau.
The statement also lamented
the omission Of a proposed
underground parking project
and a new city warehouse. The
House group flatly rejected the
SIS million parking plan, pro-
posed for Twenty-flrst and E
streets NV, and proposed
merging the prosperous motor
vehicle parking fund, fed from
parking meters. with the gen.
eral fund.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, talking with
reporters. also repeated a re-
cent warning given to Congress
about any early tax increases.
The city heads have predicted
that higher taxes would drive
more taxpayers from the city
and have commended that Dis
trict taxes equal or exceed those
in the suburbs.
Possible Senate Rescue
I'VE do not favor increasing
the overall taxation in the Dis
trict over that in the suburbs, +"
Mr. Mclaughlin declared.
City officials indicated no
immediate plans for coping
with the committee report.
Mr. Mclaughlin said the sub.
ject will require detailed study.
However. it was made clear
that Congress will be urged to
take a more liberal position.

Gen. Taylor Favors
War If Necessary>'
Calls Army Ready
Backs Force
To Keep West
Berlin Free
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor says
this country should determine
Ito 60 to war If necessary for
Berlin"
1.-THE effect OF such an atti-
tude would deter the Soviets
from having a final showdown
at this time" Gen. Taylor,
Army Chief of Staff, said in a
heavily censored transcript OF
top secret testimony.
Gen. Taylor testified behind
closed doors at a session of the
Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee Wednesday The first
part Of his testimony was made
available yesterday by Senator
johnson. chairman of the
group.
In it. Gen. Taylor said that
many top military leaders now
regard the 1948-9 Berlin airlift
as a mistake. The general said
force should have been tried
when the Russians blocked
highways and other ground
routes into Berlin.
He concluded the Soviets
could overrun Berlin and prob
ably West Germany now if they
decided on surprise attack in
full force.
Would Use Alarms
He said the Army was ready
to use nuclear weapons-if it is
to the Vests advantage-at
any time if the President APP
proves.
| And he told Senators under
questioning that the Army Is
ready to fight now or at any
time in a limited war, provided
air and sea lifts are available
from the Air Force and Navy.
Gen. Taylor. who was Army
commander in Berlin in l949-
so, just after the costly airlift,
said he had been expecting for
years that Russia would turn
over control of Berlin to the
Communist East Germans.
He said the big problem was
maintaining communications,
maintaining the freedom of 2la
million West Berliners for
whom we are responsible and
for whose life. safety and for
tunes we have pledged our
honor"
UntenabIe Position
Because of its location 100
miles inside the Iron Curtain
and surrounded by powerful
Communist forces, Gen. Taylor
said Berlin always has been
untenable as a military posi-
ton"
I'VE have thus far protected
Berlin by the evident resolu-
ton that we would not accept
interference with our rights
without a very violent reaction
on our part" he said.
That was done with the air.
lift from June, 1913. to May,
l949, Gen. Taylor said, adding
that many leaders including
Gen. Lucius Clay "felt that
we should never have adopted
the airlift at the outset, but
should use force on the high
way, at least to verify what the
Russian intent was"

Satchel Paige one of the great
est pitchers of all,times will be
seen here Monday, September 7th,
Labor Day, when the Havana Gu
ban Stars play the Kansas City
Monarchs at Brown Stadium.
Leroy "Satchel" Paige may
never be recorded in the annuls of
major league organized baseball
as one of the top-flight major
league pitchers, but if present day
hurlers equal the stamina record
of baseball's legendary figure, they
can be certain that the Hall of
Fame will be anxious to add their
name to its Honor Roll.
Paige's major league record, de-
spite his age, was a respectable o.
81 for his five years-this despite
the fact he also was playing with
the bumbling and stumbling st.
Louis Browns the last years. In
194S he was 6,and l with the Cleve-
land Indians. He was and with
Cleveland again in 1949. After a

relief pitchers in the League. His
last year with a major league club
was 1853 when he slipped to 8 and
8 with the Browns. In 1854 and
1866 he was not in organized base
ball. However, in 1856 he joined
the Miami Martins and his old
skill apparently had returned as he
fashioned on Ia record and a 1.87
ERA. In 1867, he was 1913 with a
2.42 ERA, striking out 76 and walk
ing only IL. incidentally, his 1856
record was 70 strikeouts and 20
walks, so it is apparent that even
in his latter years, he still posses
ses the old fast ball and excellent
control.

theatricals and he recently COM

called "The Wonderful Country
and will be released nationwide
early in August. "Satch" plays the
role of a sergeant in the Texas
locale movie based on the book of
Thomas Lea.
Incidentally, Satch takes as much
pride in his batting as he does in
his pitching and still maintains
that he carries lifetime batting
average of better than 300. While
in the majors, his famous ''lazi-
ness" was borne out by Bill Week,
who bought him a white contour
chair to recline in out in the bull
pen when Paige was with the
Browns.
"Satchel" has never been one to
turn down the opportunity of dra-
matizing his ability. The story
goes that several years ago the
opposing team was riding him hard

inning by a single and an error
