Federal Fund
Seen Needed
For runsit

Congressional appropriations
may be needed in the long run
to finance a proposed Federal
corporation to develop and op-
crate mass transportation ia
cities for the Washington area,
one official forecast yesterday.
Robert A. Keith, director of
the mass transportation study
for the metropolitan region,
said it is hoped congressional
loans will be repaid.
But, he added, so far no
means Of repayment have been
determined and outright ap-
preparations may have to be
the answer to finance the cor
poration's work.
Formation Of the proposed
Federal corporation - which
would have the authority to
develop a regional master plan
and buy, condemn or lease
land and operate transportation
facilities-is now under study.
Under a draft bill for eStab-
lishment Of such corporation,
Maryland and Virginia would
retain veto powers over its
plans. The draft bill is now
being circulated among re-
gional leaders who have been
asked to tell the Budget Bureau
what they think of the pro-
posal.
The possibility Of congress
sional appropriations is in line
with statements by Budget
Bureau officials who testified at
Capitol Hill hearings recently
that initial Federal financing
of the corporation will be nee
.esSary."
Mr.. Keith. who is a planner
with the National Capital Plan
ming Commission and the Re-
gional Planning Council, ap-
peared on City Side" on
WTOP-TV.
He pointed out the first phase
Of the transportation plan
would be establishment of an
area regulatory agency set up
by a compact already approved
by Maryland and Virginia. Con-
greSS has yet to act on this.
The deral corporation
would then follow and imple-
ment plans envisioned in the
recently completed mass tran
sit survey, which recommended
a SIS billion system of COM
bined freeways, subways and
surface transit.

Wedding In Mind
One woman brought her un-
opened and beautifully wrapped
gift to the counter and said,
Il know what this is and 1
can't use it. Rewrap it as a
wedding gift"
BY far the most popular
counters in the downtown de-
partment stores were those fea-
turing Christmas tree decora-
tions. Many of the stores were
selling ornaments at half price.
Aluminium Christmas trees were
big sellers.
Marked down Christmas
cards were big sellers, too. One
tired woman sighed as she left
the counter with a shopping
bag full of Christmas cards.
Il never did get all my cards
off in time this year." she said.
And I'm not going to let it
happen again next year"
The salesgirl smiled know
ingly as if to say, I'll see you
here again next year. Probably
Christmas eve."

duce about S222.6 million for
the general fund in the next
fiscal year. When this is stacked
up against departmental re-
quests of $235 million and the
81 million pay raise for teach
ers and State employees, some
thing has to give unless the
S20.3 million surplus is to be
used completely.
Mr.. Goldstein said part of
the surplus probably will be re-
served to meet operating costs
in fiscal 1862.
There is a strong possibility
that the revenue for that year
also will be insufficient to meet
operating COSTS" Mr.. Goldstein
said.
SIT Million Increase
Last year the budget in
creased by approximately SIT
million over the previous year.
To hold the increase next year
to anywhere near this figure.
the Governor would have to
make heavy cuts in the de-
partmental requests.
The Governor also faces
pressure from teacher and en-
ploye associations for more
than the 81 million he has ap-
proved for pay raises. These
organizations plan to carry
their fight to the Legislature.
Among the biggest percent
age increases in departmental
requests are in the health and
welfare departments.
The Department of Welfare
is asking about $5.5 million
more from the general fund
than the $l4 million it got for
the present fiscal year. Most of
the SO per cent increase is for
public assistance grants.
S6.5 Million Health Boost
The Health Department
wants nearly $6.5 million more
than the $19.5 million it re-
ceived last year, an increase Of
33 per cent. Most of the in
crease would pay for the addi-
tional hospital care under the
departments impatient" pro-
gram.
The public school budget re-
quest from the general fund is
up about $6.5 million to a total
of nearly $92 million.
The University of Maryland
is asking $2.3 million more
than the $18.3 million it got
this year.
The department of mental
hygiene is asking about $2.5
million more than the sos
million it got in the current
budget.
The department of correc-
tionS, which wants to add
heavily to its staff at Patuxent
Institute, wants S7.8 million.
a rs per cent increase in its
current $6.3 million budget.

DR.. Frank Charles Laubach Is
o man with a mission-to teach
the illiterate three-fifths Of the
world how to read.
But in 1915 his gigantic vision
almost vanished before it had
gotten fully under way. He had
settled in Baguio. Philippine
Islands, with the aim Of teach
ing the wild Moros how to read.
Somehow the goal appeared be-
yond his reach. and he felt the
sharp pain Of defeat.
Then one evening, as the sun
trimmed the horizon, he sat I'M

ing Lake Lanao.
why have I faile d." he
asked himself. Then, suddenly,
the answer came, Because I
did not really love these Moros. "
Later in one of his books DR..
Laubach said. I'm that terrible,
wonderful hour on Signal Hill I
became color-blind. Ever since,
II have been partial to tan-the
more tan the better. Every mis-
.sionary goes through some such
experience as that-or comes

Learns Language
. DR.. Laubach learned to speak
their Maranaw language and to
put it into writing. With the
help of a Filipino educator.
Donate Gala, he developed the
first edition of the picture

In this way the folklore and

ROuth Packers
Bump Merchants

The Bluffton Merchants were
bumped out of the Tiffin holiday
tournament by the Routh Packers
67-64 last Tuesday night.
Jumping off to a 1913 first per-
iod lead, the Merchants slowly
sagged out of the game. Tiffin
shaved the lead to 34-30 at half
time.
The third period is usually the
best one for the Merchants but
Tiffin used it to their advantage
to tie the score at 51-51. The
Packers controlled the ball and
the game during the last period.
MacDowell led the Merchants
with 16. The Merchants, idle until
January 8 when they play Co.
lumbus Grove, are now 1913 for
the season.

The winners had 20 fielders, 10

Starting the game with two
regulars on the bench for a quick

then Lewis closed out the quarter
with three more.

but Bluffton held a first quarter
lead of 1912.

seven of their 13 points for the
quarter from that spot.

.Beaverdam.
.BHS Renew


Bluffton and Beaverdam collide
head-on Friday night for pos
session of a long sought prize -
escape from the Northwest con-
ference basement.
Both clubs are begged down at
the bottom of the league, without
a conference victory to their
names. The winner, obviously,
steps up, with the loser cemented
in the cellar.
The loser will have one conso-
lation, though. They will prob
ably continue to share the base
ment with Bath township. The
Wildcats, also winless in the
NWC, play front running Spen-
cerville and appear doomed to a
defeat. .,l.r...,.,s a sekak,
Bluffton rebounded surprisingly
to capture the Jaycee Holiday
Carnival after running up a dis
heartening five game losing
streak. The big question they
must answer is who can join
Ramon Lewis in the scoring
parade? No one has been a con-
sistent scorer but George Burk-
holder, Dave Little and Buck
Schiffke have occasionally helped
out.
The Pirates made practically
every mistake in the book during
their first five games but they
showed some improvement in the
Holiday Carnival, which they won
for the third straight year.
Beaverdam, on the other hand,
has been a bad luck victim in
two of their NWC games.
Playing without two of their
regulars benched by ineligibility,
they battled an experienced
Conner team all the way before
losing 55-52. The next week they
lost to Delphos Jefferson 68-67 in
an overtime.
Delphos is the only common
opponent of the teams. The Wild
cats defeated Bluffton 61-55.
Beaverdam's strength lies in
Roger Leiber, Bob Welch, Gary
Beck, Jim Lewis, Sheriff. Burk-
holder and Dwaine Holt but their
reserve strength is strictly
limited.
One record which very prob
ably will fall is the single team |
scoring mark for the Bluffton-
Beaverdam series. The highest
team score came in the very first |
game, Bluffton's Sill victory in |
1919. When relations were re-
last year after a "a year
lapse the high scoring Pirates |
could score only 48, but that was
still enough to defeat the Beavers
and their 30. Bluffton has won IL
of the IA games between the !,
schools. |

with rs for the evening, but a 2
for 8 effort at the free stripe cost
him a 30 point performance.
Little and Burkholder, revived
after their trip to the rest haven
at Joe Harris knee, each scored
Il for Bluffton. Schiffke had six.

CIR Barely Wins
Exciting Opener

Cory-Rawson nearly went the
way of all Carnival favorites in
the opening game before they
used the old gang war trick of
hitting your man when he can't
hit back to defeat Columbus
Grove 5049.
The lead changed hands IA
times and the score was tied
seven times before the Hornets
Larry McDougle stepped 10 the
free throw line after official time
had run out with the score tied
at 49-49.
At this point Columbus Groves
only defense was to stand still
and cross their fingers.
1t didn't work, as McDougle
calmly pushed in a free throw
that gave CIR their first Carni-
val win in three years.
An Early Race
The two clubs started a rum
ming game, which had boosted
Cory-Rawson into a 1923 lead
midway in the third period before
the Bulldogs began to control the
ball and play deliberately for the
better shots.
Their strategy was working, as
they tied the Hornets at 1899
just before the end of the period.
Larry Shepler sneaked in a free
throw to give CIR a 40-39 lead at
the start of the last lap.
Blocky Bill Hofferbert hit a
push shot and then Jim Meyer
and Bill Rodenberger showed in a
pair of dandy reverse layups to
push the underdog Putnam coun-
ty team to a 45-42 lead. The
Hornets came back with Gary
Spaeth, Shepler and Dick Warren
hitting fielders to give them a
48-45 lead.
Late Rally
Lynn Darbysfire hit for Co
lumbus Grove, Spaeth scored a
free toss for CIR, then Jerry
Stechschulte canned another
Bulldog basket to tie the game at
4949 with 1:09 to go. Regaining
the ball with 48 seconds to play,
Columbus Grove manuevered for
the last shot, but Bill Rodenber-
ger, who took the shot, missed
the basket and hit McDougle i'm
stead.
Lynn Darbyshire, an agile
sophomore, led both teams with
20 points. No other Columbus
Grove man hit double figures.
McDougle had II for the Hornets,
Shepler scored IA as he was
