Adopt Relief At a meeting of the road super-' visors of Cecil Township held Saturday, an agreement adopting a relief work program was reached with Charles A. Gillespie, representative of the County Board of Assistance upon the recommendation of Chairman Tony De Blasio. The program will help the road supervisors to keep the roads of Cecil Township in good condition at a great savings to the taxpayers. The program will be the same as that adopted recently by the N.

Strabanc Twp. School District. The importance of the program may be seen in the following facts brought out by Gillespie: 1. Any work which is done by the recipient of relief is applied as a credit to the amount of relief received by him from the Board of Assistance. In this way, he is able to reduce the amount of the lien which the state holds or wipe it out all together, 2.

The relief work program may be sponsored by any municipal body so. as to have good, honest labor at no expense whatsoever to said municipal body. 3. It is to be noted that the program shall not be used to relieve or replace any present employes, but shall be used as a supplement thereof for the common welfare. It shall not be used for the profit of any individual, co-partnership, corporation or for any selfish purpose.

4. The Washington County Board of Assistance will present the program to the State Board at Harrisburg for approval so as to make it effective on or before May 1st of this year. The program when effective will provide both male and female employes supplying skilled and unskilled labor for the repair and maintenance of the township roads and bridges of Cecil Township, and clerical work. The program will afford financial relief to the township budget which has been worrying the supervisors in the past few years. According to Tony De Blasio, many of the complaints of property owners which were not satisfied heretofore for financial reasons, will now be taken care of due to the supplemental work supplied by the relief work program.

Members of the Board of Supervisors are: Tony De Blasio, chairman: Tony Bartkus, supervisor; Maneric Altieri, supervisor; Carmen Legory, secretary and treasurer; and George J. Modrak, solicitor.

cated near Donaldson Crossroads in Peters Township, will break ground this Sunday for a $115,000 addition to the building. This will provide facilities for a nursery, kindergarten, primary, and junior departments. It will also house a pastor's study, church office, and church parlor with a kitchenette. On the ground floor will be a new choir room. Part of the project will be the enlarging of the present sanctuary to seat 100 additional people, and the remodeling of the chancel.

A new kitchen will be built to serve either the present dining room, which will be made larger, or a new room that can be used as additional dining room area. The lighting system of the sanctuary will be revamped, and a public address system added to serve the entire building. Center Church was established 127 years ago and until about 194S, never numbered more than 200 members. The rapid growth of the area, which is becoming a part of suburban Pittsburgh, has been reflected in the growth of the church to its present membership of 700, and an anticipated membership of 1.000 in four to five years. Last year 93 new members were received into the church.

A wing was added to the church in 1948, and a new manse was built in 1951. Both have been paid for and the church is free of debt. The new wing has been outgiown, necessitating the present addition. The 1948 addition was built during the pastorate of the Rev. Ross M.

Haverfield, who now serves the First Presbyterian Church of DuBois. The present pastor is the Rev. Joseph H. Rodgers, who came to the church in September, 1951 after a pastorate of seven years in the First Presbyterian Church of McDonald.

Key IT Dulles is Called To Explain Leak Of Yalta Papers By UNITED PRESS Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was called before the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee today to explain how a New York newspaper obtained the Yalta doc uments before they were released generally. The committee meeting was closed to the public despite the objecions of two members.

Sens. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala) and Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn). Chairman Walter F.

George (D- Ga) insisted on the closed session but promised that Dulles' prepared testimony would be given to press. Humphrey told reporters he wanted open hearings because all the facts about "planting" of the Yalta documents "properly should be made public." He referred to the fact that the New York Times obtained copies of the documents before the State Department made them public generally. Dulles was expected to name Assistant Secretary of State Carl W. McCardl, his top information adviser, as the key man in actu ally making the documents available to the Times in advance.

yei'erday. police reported. General Assembly To Back Program HARRISBURG, Pa. (UP) Gov. George M.

Leader put his political future "on the block" today with a request to the General Assembly to enact a "classified" income tax as a key revenue raiser to balance his record $1,878,283,666 state budget. In an appearance before a joint session of the Senate and House which he described as "a day of reckoning," the governor conceded his program to raise $512,404,474 in new taxes faced "a hard, a savage fight" in the politically divided Legislature. "This is not a time, it cannot be a time, for anyone of us to worry about his political future," he said. "I am quite ready to lay mine on the block. It is a time for us to worry about the future of Pennsylvania.

"And I have made this pledge to myself that I will, under no circumstances, be party to passing on to my successor in this office a structure of state finance that is built of straw." The youthful chief executive, the first Democratic governor in 16 years, also proposed boosting the corporate net income tax from five to six per cent, and for his highway improvement program: a hike in the gasoline levy from five to six cents per gallon, an increase in passenger car tags from $10 to $15 a year, and higher fees for truck licenses ranging from $20 to $300. New Gas Tax In addition, he also suggested a "license fee" for the storage of natural gas, based on the rate of one cent for every 1,000 cubic feet of gas withdrawn. But the "core" of his fiscal program was the income tax plan, which he said was 'based upon ability to pay." As an example, he said a typical family with an annual income of $4,000 would pay $30 to the state. The five-point package would include a one per cent tax on net income of wage earners, to yield about $194,800,000 in a two-year fiscal period. It would have a $1,000 deduction and the tax would be withheld from payrolls.

Administration sources said the estimate was based on a July 1 starting date. Levies Retroactive Other proposed income levies, which would be retroactive to last Jan. 1, were: A two per cent tax on unincorporated businesses and professions, four per cent on interest, rents and royalties, five per cent on divident payments, $56,750,000, and 6 per cent per year on long term capital gains, Leader, in a briefing session to capitol newsmen Monday afternoon Ion his tax and budget messages. said the income tax idea was "the closest to a graduated income tax we can have in Pennsylvania anyone of the proposals would stand alone as a uniform tax and would meet a constitutionality Asked at the time about his campaign pledges against a flat income or w'age tax for the state, the governor replied: "This is an entirely different philosophy."
