Their ideas should be conveyed
to the City Council at Council
meetings, through the press and
through groups such as the Cham
Der of Commerce. If they be-
Iieved. and obviously they did,
that Buskin Lake is the best
source of water supply, they
should come up with facts and
figures to sustain their position.
The main point we're trying to
put across is, Mice-don't just
crawl back in your hole and stay
there until the next election. Re-
member this-you, City Hall and
all of us are working for the same
thing-making Kodiak a better
place in which to live.
A campaign spreading rapidly
seeks to lower the retirement age
to so and boost Social Security
benefits to 5000 a month, plus
$1OO for each dependent
The Sixty Now incorporated, a
group with a membership from
across the nation, state as their
belief that at level of $500 per
couple payable to those who re-
tire at go, millions of those now
working would promptly retire,
making vacancies for many of the
unemployed.
Many in the group see in the
program a step toward solving
the impact of Attenuation. Sup
porters of Sixty Now believe that
a total work force would be trim
med to a size industry could alb
sorb if each worker were able
to retire five years earlier.
Under the new increases in So
cial Security put into effect, the
national average is still only about
$50 month, and two million are
drawing the $40 minimum.
The groups headquarters is at
PLOT Ashland Avenue, Toledo,
Ohio.
We're neither for or against
this, but are little skeptical
about it solving the unemploy-
ment problem. However, it may
have merit and is worth looking
into.
The University of Alaska has
grown steadily In quality of edu-
cation and in enrolment over the
past years, according to figures
just released by the college.
An interesting item: Of the
enrolled students, 623 are men and
1913 are women. 181 of the 623
men and 131 of the 328 women
are married-quite different
story from our era of learning
when the pursuit of education was
confined to single bucks and gals.

Dispute Fiscal Policy

Prince Georges County's fis-
cal policies were in the spot
light again today as an issue
in the controversial charter
government campaign.
Robert P. Smith, who helped
write the Project Marlboro re-
port, told a civic group last
night that criticism of fiscal
policies by a group of charter
ties prompted changes in invest
ment procedures that brought
in about 100000 more revenue
in the first quarter of 1862.
Claims No Policy Shift
County Treasurer Charles E
Callow commented today, how
ever, there has been no change
in his policy. nor were any in
vestments prompted by the
Project Marlboro report.
Mr.. Smith, speaking before
the Chillum-Ray Citizens As
sociation at Ridgecrest School
said earnings for the calendar
year 1860 totaled $4,000, then
dropped to $4,000 the next
year.

mental setup and said invest

A fourth fire of suspicious
origin in less than two weeks
broke out last night in the
basement of an apartment
building at Alexandria's Presi-
Dental Gardens, fire officials
said.
Fire Chief Bernard j. Padgett
said the latest fire, like the
others, occurred in the base

the James Garfield building,
1902 Executive avenue.
Three other buildings in the

The school board considered
that the overcrowding at the
high school created such an
emergency as to justify find
ing other means of obtaining
money for this purpose in the
coming fiscal year.
Would Balance Budget
The remaining S1.06 tax rise
would provide money to bal
ance the city budget of ST.
261, ,739, originally proposed
last month by city manager
Lewis z. Johnston before the
$480,000 school item was in
cluded.
Other major increases in the
budget include: A $211,673
boost in the city share of the
school operating budget; S20,-
080 additional for city-owned
trash and refuse collection IA
cilities now handled by con-
tract; increases of over S10,-
900 each for the recreation de-
partment and the library, and
over $4,000 more for the
police and fire departments,
primarily for additional per-
sonnel and higher salaries.
Also given tentative ap-
proval last night was a five
year capital budget of .$2,-
425.271, carrying sums for
school construction and street
and storm drain projects.

vestment earnings were due to
the availability Of more money
from bonds sold by the county
commissioners to build a Ii
library and schools, and i'm
prove roads.
Investments slack off in the
fall due to the September 80
deadline for payment of county
taxes, he said. Processing these
tax receipts takes several weeks,
he said.
Mr.. Callow disputed Mr..
Smiths earnings figure for
1860 and said it was $4,000.
In 1857 the county earned over
100000, Mr.. Callow said.
Femia Compiled Figures
Mr.. Smith said the figures
were compiled by Vincent
Femia, the Independent Demo-
crat candidate for treasurer
opposing Mr.. Callow's re-elec-
ton bid in the May Is primary.
Mr.. Smith is an Independent
candidate for the Central Com
mittee.
Mr.. Callow said he invited
Mr.. Femia to check the treas
urer's records, and that the
Independent candidate spent
about four or five hours in the
office.
Nov Mr.. Femia is an ex-
pert and trying to tell us we're
not doing as well as we should"

Approved on first reading by
the city council were corre-
spending increases of S2.42 per
500 of assessed valuation in
both the real estate and per-
sonal property levies.
This would increase the city's
real estate rate from the pres
sent 1922 per 500 of assessed
valuation to $5.34. The per-
sonal property rate would go
from 81 to $6.42 per $100 of
assessed valuation.
Jumps TO S534
The city assesses real estate
at so per cent of fair market
value. The proposed increase in
tax rate would mean that taxes
on a $4,000 home would jump
from 1922 to 1894 annually, ac-
cording to Director of Finance

Handicapped Edges

Handicapped Edges
Highway officials believe that
proper design can avoid harsh
ugliness.
They point to some prelim-
mary considerations now under
study by architects for the
route of the east leg of the
Inner Loop. In planning for
the route they have counted
on enough right of way to pro-
vide green landscaping along
both edges of the depressed
freeway.
Study is being made now of
the possibility of a tunnel for
that portion of the freeway
that would bound Lincoln Park.
Extension of the park could be
a side benefit of the highway
construction.
The highway planners are
committed to have a complete
model of the east leg readied
for the National Capital Plan
ming Commission so that its
members may see what archi-
tectural treatment is to be
included.
In some cases, such as that
of the north leg of the loop
which is to traverse the Dupont
Circle area, highway planners
are considering small shops and
restaurants for the space over
the freeway. This would pro-
vide an esthetic approach that
has not been considered here
before.
Tunnel Under Memorial
Aside from the argument that
proper design can avoid an un-
slightly freeway system, highway
proponents also point out the
improvement on the appear
ance of the city by virtue oi
elimination of heavy traffic
congestion.
AS one example of this, they
point to the plans of the Ma.
tional Park Service for the
Lincoln Memorial area. Here
the plan is to tunnel beneath
the memorial grounds to carr.
Inner Loop traffic out Of sigh
of the shrine. At the same time
the traffic circle around the
memorial would be closed max
ing a pedestrian plaza extend
ing to the Rejecting Pool.
In this way, mounting traf-
fic congestion that now i'm
perils the Lincoln Memorial
scene will be detoured away
from it.
Planners say the beauty OF
the city will be similarly en-
hanced if the freeway system is
completed because it will mean
that traffic will be channeled
into main streams of move
ment, freeing residential streets
and boulevards of ugly con-
geStion.

johnson Calls
Broyhi|| Part
OF Machine

Augustus C. johnson last
night opened his campaign for
the Democratic congressional
nomination by labelling Repub-
lican Representative Joel T.
Broyhill as q part of the Byrd
machine . which has been
good for some people but not
good for Northern Virginia"
Mr.. johnson was one of three
Democratic candidates seeking
the nomination from nearby
Virginia's 10th congressional
district in the July 10 primary
who addressed more than 100
area committeeman at Holiday
Inn.
Lynch, Lowry Talk
Former Delegate Edwin
Lynch. who announced he
would run, said, You can help
the President by seeing that a
Democrat goes to Congress
from the 10th district. Any of
the three candidates here to-
night can do better job than
Broyhill."
The third contender, Charles
w. Lowry, asserted he would
like to "see the district repre-
sented adequately in the great
tradition of Virginia"
Mr.. Johnson told the COM
mittee members, Some of the
most respected people here to-
night have urged me not to
mention our senior United
States Senator. Harry F.. Byrd.
They have told me you can't
say it right. whatever you do,
but I don't see how you can
talk politics in Virginia with
out talking about him.
II would like to emphasize
that I am not running for the
Senate; that Senator Byrd was
a great Governor who mag
nificently met the problems of
Virginia in 1925; that as a
Senator he ably represents a
sincere conservative point of
view which should be repre-
sented in the Senate and which
is shared by a majority of the
voters of Virginia.
Distinction in Terms
Although I will try, I do
not expect to be able to make
a distinction in the minds of
voters between the Senator
himself and the machine that
bears his name, whether he de-
serves it or not. This machine
is a third party and it has
nothing whatever to do with
the Republican or Democratic
Parties.
1T has been good for some
people, but not good for North
ern Virginia. At the national
level. the same movement
through a reactionary coalition
opposed progress. -.
II repeat that I am not run
ming against Senator Byrd but
I am running against that

hill. :. :"

EvER SINCE MANKIND was blessed with the
golden gift Of speech, mothers and fathers have
awaited the first words Of their own babies with
eager anticipation and greeted them with cheers.
And it remains one of the unsolved riddles Of pedi
atrics why tots begin to verbalize intelgibly
around their first birthday, while others founder
in a sea Of gibberish and gesticulation until the
ripe old age of three.
An amazing experiment = which uses talking
mynah birds instead Of human infants = is now
being conducted at Ohio's Kent State University.
1t may revolutionize all previous theories as to

speech has now become race = one OF the first
status symbols in an American baby's life. No
matter how often we remind parents that some
geniuses don't say word until they're past three,
the myth persists that precociOus speech is sure
sign Of brilliance and that the late-comers viii
probably end up as mental peewees. Unfortunately
the mother feels guilty and personally responsible
if her offspring doesn't stop gurgfng and start
talking at an early age
Now comes word that parents may indeed be
influencing their childs language speed = but in
way they never suspected. The Kent State
study may prove that it's the mothers response to
babys crying during his cradleand-crib days that
hastens, or delays, the onset of speech.
