The District Public Welfare
Department has a major new
role in the lunch program for
needy elementary school chill
dren, now going into its second
year.
The department will con-
centrate on offering a helping
hand in the problem ridden
homes from which the children
come.
Screening Of qualified young
sters was the department's
prime function in the program
last year.
When estimates put the num-
ber to be fed at more than
5000 by the end of this school
year-about 1000 more than
last year - welfare's school
lunch budget was increased to
$48,650 in fiscal 1861. This is
$18,650 more than last year.
But the schools have done
such an excellent" job o1
screening that an intensive
double check for each child BY
Welfare is not necessary, Ge-
rard M. Shea. welfare director
reported. Only spot checks will
be conducted, he said.

AND THERE WAS an as
signment from The Star in
January, 1947. Helen Gaha-
gan Douglas and Glare
Roothe Luce had been elect
ed to the 80th Congress.
That it was a glamour con-
test was an inevitable, news
paper observation.
The beauty of Helen Ga
hagan in the 1920S-she later
married Melvin Douglas, the
actor-had found a path into
the heart of every New York
drama critic.
And Clare Boothe had
married Henry Robinson
Luce, the most successful
American publisher of the
goth century. She had also
written 1.-THE Women.
The writer met Mrs. Doug
las in the old House Office
Building and walked through
the tunnel with her to the
elevator to the House floor.
Tall, brunette, Grecian, hers
was the kind of beauty that
caused the siege of Troy and
led Poe to write:
Helen, thy beauty Is to me
Like those NicaeGn barkS OF
gore,
The Rambler sent a page
with a note to Mrs. Luce and
she came off the floor. She
was wearing an orchid en-
corSage. She topped the Or
child. She was slight, fragile,
blond with transparent skin.
1t was hard to understand
how a woman who had
grown up could look so
young.
1t was Mrs. Luce who said
of the whole silly story that
she could not understand
"how two women, both over
10, could be in a glamour
contest"

Montgomery
Group Backs
open Space

The Montgomery County
Civic Federation voted after
one hour of heated debate last
night to support the so-calle6
open space" amendment tc
the Maryland Constitution
which will be put before the
voters in the November elec-
tion.
Opponents, led by I. M. Lab
ovitz, chairman Of the public
finance committee, contended
the proposed amendment is "a
departure from tax according
to land values"
The amendment states ''the
legislature may provide that
land actively devoted to farm
or agricultural use shall be
assessed on the basis of such
use and shall not be assessed
as if Subdivided."
E. Brooke Lee, County Demo
cratic leader who appeared as
a representative of Montgomery
County Farm Bureau, Inc, ad-
vocated passage of the amend
ment because it provides "a
cheap subsidy to preserve oper
spaces" Mr.. Lee said high farm
taxes forced "the farmer to sell
to a speculator, who is a turn
over boy"
He said the amendment will
slow up development and its
concurrent demand upon ex-
pensive county services"
In other business, the fedora
ton voted to oppose the adop-
tion of a proposed residential
land use plan issued by the
Maryland National Capita,
Park and Planning Commission
in July.
Among points cited by the
opposition was one that the
plan merely projects the pres
ent situations of population
density without imaginative
and meaningful planning on 6
basis of sound direction growth.
The federation also voted tt
oppose a proposed State con.
stitutional amendment which
provides that bills vetoed by
the Governor would not be re.
turned to a newly elected Gen,
eral Assembly.
