rFOHl StaH correspondent OF The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March I9.-With
the assurance that the Maryland Legis
lature, now in session here, would en-
act INTO law the measure now pending
to establish the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion. Gov. Albert c. Ritchie, in order
that there may be no delay in putting
the regional development plans into
effect in the metropolitan area ada.
cent to the Capital City, has sent to
the body a supplemental budget in
which is provision for 100000 for
the use Of the commission.
He said that the state would be am
ply justified in eXpending this amount

Parks in that vicinity" he said,
would not only be we'll situated for
recreation purposes, but would also
serve TO preserve the natural beau.
ties of that part of the State from
building encroachments out of Wash,

VIII Have Funds at Once.
This state appropriation, when it gets
through the Legislature. will provide
the State commission with funds with
which to put the machinery of the
commission in motion immediately.
res the emergency clause, and the
body will start functioning at once
This fund, too, also is to meet the
Federal Governments contribution of
$3.50. 900 which the National Congress
Is expected to provide at the next seS.
sion, half of which is to be used in
Maryland and the other half in the
metropolitan district of Virginia.
There is no doubt but that the gov
ernor's budget recommendation for
the commission will glide safely
through both houses. although there
may be some show Of opposition on
the floor Of the House of Delegates,
as was indicated by the efforts of Dele
gate Daniel c. Joseph of Baltimore
City. when the park and planning
commission bill came up for it's sec.
ond reading in the house this week
to delay it by recommitting it to the
judiciary committee, on the ground
that 1t was a piece of general legis-
lation. He pointed out that there was
a provision in the supplemental budget
for this 100000 fund, and his
contention was that this alone made
it general legislation. Speaker E.
Brooke Lee pointed out at the time
that that matter could be handled
when it reached the floor, and the
delegates could act accordingly il
they did not think 1t was money well
spent.
Ritchie Backs Measure.
Gov. Ritchie is firmly behind the
park and planning measure, and the
administration delegates are lined up
to put through not only the park and
planning bill but authorization for
the appropriation.
Since the inception of the greater
Washington movement, Gov. Ritchie
has given his Whole-hearted support
to it, and was the first to take steps
to appoint an unofficial commission
to cooperate with the Federal com
mission in laying down the plans for
the development of these two coun-
ties to conform to the plans for the
metropolitan idea, and out of which
grew the demand for the bill now
pending to legalize the work. which
the governor has initiated, having
foreseen the possibilities which now
are growing into a reality.

PLOT IN ALBANIA CHARGED.

LONDON, March 10 R.-The sun
day Express says that the Italian
government, in it's memorandum &c
Great Britain making known anxiety
over the state of affairs on the Jugo-
slav-Albanian frontier, accuses tne
Jugoslav government of endeavorine
to foment a counter revolution against
the existing Albanian government.
Italy, the paper adds, alleges that
the Jugos!av frontier authorities are
aiding and abetting the organization
of irregular bands under Albanian
leaders who are hostile to Ahmed
Zogu and that these bands are about
to invade Albania from the north ana
east under the direction of disguised
Jugoslav officers.
The Italian government. 1T con
tinues, suggests that Great Britain
and other leading powers should re
monstrate with the Belgrade govern
ment.
The Express says the British gov
ernment is giving careful considera'
ton to the memorandum.

If the recount shows him to be elect
ed. will be allowed TO sit at the next
session of the Legislature.
The gas tax bill providing an addi-
tional tax of / Il cents gallon on
gasoline, the proceeds to be used for
the construction Of lateral roads, will
come up again on Tuesday, and
there is expected to be strong opposi-
tion to the measure in some sources,
but not enough predict the pro-
ponents, to defeat it. In some sources
the bill is declared unconstitutional
because il is not uniform and pro-
vides certain exemptions, and fur
ther that it taxes gas used in trac-
tors many of which are used exclu-
sively on the farms and never go on
the highways, and also for tractors
used by industrial concerns eXclu-
sively for shifting freight in their
factories and adjoining yards.
In some sources, 1t is contended
that If this measure passes it will
mean that the District of Columbia
Will have 10 increase its tax, as the
constituents of the Maryland Repre-
Sentatives in Congress living on the
border near the District line will
try to have 1t forced through Con-
gress, because of the contention that
automobile owners near the District
line will cross the border and pur-
chase their gas in order to escape
the Maryland tax, and thus the
Maryland dealers will lose their
business. However, the proponents
of the measure contend that this is
not so, as the producing companies
allow price concessions in such cases
and they have produced figures to
show that their arguments are cor
rect.
