A syndicate Of architectural
and engineering firms has
signed a $415,OOO contract to
draw up final plans and speci-
fications for the Districts pro-
posed municipal stadium.
Agreement between syndicate

tailed plans for the $4,000
seat stadium are to be COM

The board, he said, now will
seek a bank loan, on an interim

tract cost.

He added, "Such a use of
public funds from the taxes
of all the people is contrary
to the public policy of the
Government of the United
States and to the policies of
the Free State of Maryland.
We respectfully urge the can

A similar demand came from

He added. How, we ask you,
can modern youth enrolled in

emerge without a warped or
biased view about higher edu-
cation or unions and their
rightful place in our economy
when business executives

Mr.. Strong said the ALL

Maryland-National Capital

Nearly lis persons attended
the hearing, almost three times
as many as those at one the
previous night on a Montgom-
cry County master plan. The
surprise overflow crowd forced
the commission to move the
hearing from the library to the

Four Regional Libraries
The master plan calls for
four regional libraries (about
$500,000 each) at Princ e

Nelson Phelps, a senior at

Circulation Cited

by Robert Strauss, a commu-

Delegate James M. Thomson
declared, II will vote for and
support the Democrat ticket"
Both statements were made
during the course of a candi-
dates meeting Of the North
Ridge Citizens Association at
George Mason School last
night.
The two stand poles apart on
Virginia's integrated public
school iSsue-Mr. Thomson sup
porting massive resistance and
Mr.. Boothe an advocate of the
prevailing freedom of choice"
program.
In the primary campaign
recently, Mr.. Thomson, who
was unopposed, was actively
supporting Mr.. Boothe's OPP
ponent, Marshall ]. Beverley.
Influence Questioned
Arrayed against the two DEM
ocrats last night were Re-
publicans Donald Baldwin for
the State Senate and Robert
T. S, Colby for the House of
Delegates.
Mr.. Baldwin's principal con-
tention of the evening was that
Senator Boothe lacks influence
in the Legislature. He said this
is indicated by the failure of
Mr.. Boothe to be assigned to
a single major committee in the
State Senate.
Mr.. Thomson, on the other
hand. made much of his own
major committee assignments
in the House, listing first the
politically potent Privileges and
Elections Committee and next
the Courts of Justice Commit
tee. He also reminded the audi
ence of about so persons he had
served on the Perrow Commits
sion on Education and headed
q special commission investi-
eating racial matters.
Both incumbent Democrats
predicted the Almond-Perrow

Jaws will remain on the books
substantially in their present
form.
Inactive Issue
Mr.. Boothe said the school
issue will be relatively DOR
mant" at the session next jan
uary although he conceded
there would be "some talking"
by a few legislators seeking
amendments.
Mr. Thomson said that while
he filed a dissenting report as
a member of the school study
group. II do recognize that it
is the law of Virginia at the
present time. I would be some
what more than misleading if

BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
star Stan Writer

Maryland loan companies
will seek increased interest
rates, service charges and loan
maximums at the 1860 session
OF the Maryland General AS
sembly.
The industry leaders report
eddy have reached an informal
agreement on what they will
ask for at the next session.
Last year they sought major
changes in rates that were
blasted as "legalized usury."
Two bills failed to get through
the legislature.
The companies repeatedly
have agreed to seek an increase
in the maximum loan from $500
to $500.
The interest rates proposed
are 3 per cent a month on the
first $500, Q per cent on the
next $500 and / per cent on a
balance in excess of $500.
Major Changes
Under the Industrial Finance
law, major changes in prac- 4
tices are proposed.
At present the law permits
an interest. rate Of 6 per cent
per year discounted in advance
and service charge of 81, or
4 per cent Of the note up to
$500, and $40 or 2 per cent of
the face of the note on loans
in excess of $500.
Under the new proposal the
industrial loan maximum would
be increased from $500 to
$4,000.
Interest rates would be
raised from 6 per cent to 8 per
cent on the first $500, but
would be an add-on charge in
stead of a discount. The effect
is to lessen the increase in &C
tual interest rates, one source
said.
The interest rate on loans in
excess of $500 would be 6 per
cent.
Service Charge
The agreement also calls for
increasing the service charge
maximum from $50 to $50.
The service charge, however,
would be refundable on a pre-
scribed pro rata basis if the
loan is renewed or changed
within six months.
Last year the bills to in
crease rates and establish a
new-type loan were defeated
as some independent operators
Joined with the Nationwide
Household Finance Corp. in OPP
posing them.
This year, however, HFC re-
portedly has indicated it will
not fight measures as now being
proposed. The matters were
discussed fully, but informally,
at the annual meeting of A.
nance company heads in Balti-
more last week.

Go Down Budget Drain

strengthens the will and tones
up the morale generally" the
Saturday night ritual advocates
added.
The message caught on. The
minister convinced the Balti-
more philanthropist, Henry
Walters.
Mr.. Walters donated $50, 900
to build the first two public
baths. The first was opened IN
May, 1900. 1t was followed by
the second in April, 1902, ap-
propriately named the wal
tiers baths"
Business at the lighthouses,
however, has slumped of late.
For example, in one peak year
7,572,912 free baths were taken.
But in 1858 no more than
100000 wash jobs were re-
corded. In fact the system
took in only $4,000 and cost
of personnel was $78,0OO-or
about 10 cents a bath.
So city fathers have given
in to the budget cutters, and
the Board of Estimates sadly
announced the free public bath
system must go. 1t will result
in an annual saving of $780,
900.

changed materially at the next
session"
Mr.. Colby listed Mr.. Thorn
sons stand on the school issue
as the first issue of their con-
test. He accused Mr.. Thomson
of having lin his pocket at the
last session a plan to tamper
with the State constitution and
close public schools. That is
extremely dangerous and would
lead to mass ignorance"
Mr.. Thomson declared "it's
a false statement" and accused
his Republican opponents Of
attempting to ride on the
coattails" of Mr.. Boothe by
adopting a similar stand on
schools. He said the plan he
was accused Of harboring to
close schools actually was one
Joined in by a large group of
legislatorS-though it was not
adopted-and that it was de-
signed to keep open public
schools.
There isn't a person in this
ROOM" he said, who can match
Jim Thomson for what he did
for public schools"
Plank Unsupported
Mr.. Colby, waving a copy Of
the 1855 Democratic platform,
charged Mr.. Thomson failed to
uphold one plank which called
for support of a compulsory
school attendance law.
Il did go back on a campaign
promise" Mr.. Thomson con-
coded. II did that without ask
ing your permission, but that
was Gov. Almonds recommen-
dation and every Democrat in
the House and Senate voted
for it."
He said he, like nearly every
one else in the Legislature, was
afraid that if the law was not
I'VE would be faced
with forced indignation i'm
mediately." Mr.. Thomson added
that he did not support the
local option bill which allows
counties and cities to enact
local compulsory attendance
ordinances.
Mr. Baldwin, in referring to
Mr.. Boothe's committee assign
ments declared: "A friend who
serves on the Steering Commit
tee OF the State Senate has
assured me that 1 will be given
major committee assignments"
He did not identify his friend.
IL this same vein, Mr.. Thorn
son asserted, Bob Colby will
never see the DAY he will be
placed on the Privileges and
Committee for one
reason: There isn't a single Re-
publican on a major committee
of the House."

towel, that is.
It's economics, pure and SIM

The something will be an

ness has a close relationship
with both health and respect.
The good minister went into

without bathrooms, bathtubs or
even running water.
