DELINQUENT TAX SALE
Bids Almost Sweep
Property List Clean

does not pay the delinquent
taxes within a year and a day.
Presumably, some people dc
not know their property is in
jeopardy. If the back taxes are
paid, successful bidders at
yesterdays auction lose their
claim to the property but re-
ceive the taxes they have paid
plus 6 per cent interest from
the owner.
Small List
The 6 per cent interest rate
makes the tax certificates a
profitable investment.
One of the active bidders was
Milton A. Smith, a Chevy Chase
lawyer, who said the list OF
offerings was the smallest he
could recall. Il think it re-
fleets good times" he said
Another bidder said. People in
this country usually pay their
taxes"
A siZeable number must have
paid them within the last few
days. More than 900 pieces Of
property were advertised as de-
linquent, but only a third OF
this number went under the
gavel yesterday.

passive, bidders kept their eyes
glued to long columns of legal

chief of revenue and disburse-

Brake Fraley, raced through
the real estate offerings.
Bidders staked out claims to
all but eight of the $40 pieces
of real estate. 1t was the
highest percentage of sales
that auction officials could re-

Professional Secrets
Many bidders appeared to be
real professionals and were as
Secretive as cold war spies
about their speculations.
One of the reasons might
have been the nature of the

The Foundation for Commu-

written the so State Governor,
in an attempt to recruit support
for a program for medical care
for the aged which would not
rely on State contributions.
The foundation, based in
Northern Virginia. has written
also to President Eisenhower
opposing the administrations
proposed health insurance pro-
gram.
The foundation registered its
opposition because the program
requires the States and the
Federal Government to con-
tribute on a $3.50 basis.
Miss Frieda Reicher, founda-
ton president, suggested that
Congress pass the bill of Sen
ator Mcnamara, Democrat of
Michigan, which would provide
a fund for health payments by
increasing contributions of en-
ployes to the social security
system.
State governments do not
have sufficient revenues to sup
port such a program as that
proposed by the administration,
Miss Reicher said. She asserted
further that the administra-
tion'S bill would require the
aged virtually to declare them
selves paupers" to qualify for
the program.

The council acted on the
Epstein question prior to re-

recommendation that the
Westenberger tract of North
Roosevelt street not be rezoned

the rezoning thus opening the

The Westenberger property

TRIUMPH OVER WHEELcHAlR
Bow Graduates Via Phone

An honor student today is
preparing his salutatorian ad-
dress to classmates he knows
mostly through a telephone
hookup to Frederick Sasscer
High School in Upper Marl-
boro.
Charles Won Garlem of
Upper Marlboro has been con-
fined to a wheel chair since he
was stricken with polio while
a student in the fifth grade at
Upper Marlboro Elementary
School.
Taught by tutors sfterward,
the youth was reunited two
years ago through a telephone
line and speaker system from
his room at home to the. school.
The setup was provided by the
Prince Georges County School
Board.
"a" Students
An "a" student, Charles will
receive his diploma with A
classmates at $3.50 pm. tomor-
row at the school.
II could hear teachers and
others speaking in class. and
then talk and recite back to
them" Charles said.
Some teachers would put
the microphone on their desk
and others would have it at
the back of the room, but 1
could always hear.
'"The students at first would
identify themselves before they
spoke. Later I could recognize
their voices.
Il think / did better this
way because there were no dis
fractions for me. such as pass
ing notes around the room"
Mrs. Edward Won Garlem
said her son probably never
would have made top grades if
he had not been home. She
recalled that in the fifth grade
his marks were not as good.
Strengthened Out
"a home teacher from the
school board (MrS. Bessie
Beane) Strengthened him out.
I give her all the credit" Mrs.
Won Garlem said.
The 19-year-old youth said
that at times he heard dial
tones and buzzes on the line
but there never was enough
static to drown out the classes.
The line came down only
once, during a snow storm, but
schools were closed anyway.
BY the time classes resumed,
the line was up again.
When it came to tests,
Charles either gave the answers
over the telephone line or wrote
them out at home. His parents
or a claSsmate carried them to
school.
This summer Charles will
undergo surgery at Children's
Hospital in Baltimore. He
hopes some arrangements can
be made for him to carry on
his education.

Yet the American-trained Mo-
roccans - only about 200 strong

these on small patches of land
cleared out of the forest or grass
lands for few years. When the
fertility dropped, they moved on
and cleared other patches.
However, since the 1905 a pro-
gram has been underway to estab-
lish permanent settlements called
paysannats. These are designed to
maintain soil fertility, improve the
quantity and quality of farm pro-
duction, and raise living standards.
By 1857, about lie, 900 Congo farm
ers had been allotted 1900, 900 acres
in 200 settlements.
Agronomists and agricultural
aides helped the farmers to de-
velop systems of strip-cropping in
the forests and grasslands. Open
cultivation, such as is the practice
in the United States, it not prac-
ticable in the Congo because the
tropical sun and torrential rains
leach the nutrients from the soil,
says the report.
AS result of this and other
agricultural developments during
the past decade or so, the report
continues, the productivity of these
farmers has begun to increase.
With continued emphasis on such
programs, and with increased in
naturalization and urbanization,
the level of living of the Congo peo-
pie is bound to increase more
rapidly than in the past.

lists and agricultural aides. Their
findings on erosion control, fer
tilizer applications, insect control,
and other methods of improving
crops and livestock are made avail
able to farmers through publica-
tons, demonstrations, and the dis
tribution of seeds and plants.
Between 1861 and 1866, says the
report, more than 1900 short tons
of improved seeds and five million
plants were distributed. This work
is resulting in increased produc-
ton of food for home use, as well
as higher yields of such export pro-
ducts as coffee, palm oil, cotton,
and rubber.
In 1868 African and European
farmers of the Congo produced Co.
900 tons of coffee, 249,OOO tons
of palm oil, 158,5O0 tons of palm
kernels, $4,000 tons of seed cot
ton, and 1000 tons of rubber.
The United States imports about
half the coffee output of the Congo
and Ruanda- Urundi, 40 percent of
the palm kernel oil production, and
&c percent of the rubber. In turn,
these two countries import 72 per-
cent of their wheat flour and 46
percent of their manufactured
tobacco from the United States.
Nearly rs percent of Congo agri-
cultural production is for home use
by the population of 12,950,987. Of
these, Europeans numbered only
