stricken with brain fever at the

this illness was deprived of her
faculties. After six years of claw

CHARGE
IS DENIED BY
REP. ENGLE

Indignant over charges made
by Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man Of the Public Utilities Com
mission, that the House district ap-
preparations subcommittee had
suppressed a report concerning
telephone company activities. Rep.
resentative Alfred E. Engle (R0
of Michigan, a member Of the sub
committee. today denied that his
group had received such a report
and asserted:
"Our committee has never
withheld ANYTHING"
Keech's charge was made sew
eral days ago before the House
District subcommittee studying
tax and administrative changes in
the District government. 1t came
when he was requested to submit
to that subcommittee a report,
indicating whethe or not it will
be necessary for the Subcommit-
tee to make an investigation into
the telephone company, with a
view to altering rates.
Informed today of Keech's
charges, Engle said that he never
had seen such a report, and fail
ing to find it in the appropriation
records, called Keech to ask about
it.
The utilities commissioner in
formed Engle that what he had
referred to waS a three-page pen
ciled report, which he had at
tached to his corrected testimony,
showing the litigation in which
tie phone compal. has been in
volved over the past few years.
Engle declared that even if such
a report had been submitted it
would be of little value, ar added
that the subcommittee has no
record of receiving such a docu-
ment.

ASSEMBLYMEN
SIT DOWN ON
TAX BILL

ANNAPOLIS. Md. April "a.
The Maryland Legislature today
is indulging in its own version of
a sit-down strike.
The Legislature is in special
session for the purpose Of enact
ing a bill raising $6,4o0,O00 for
relief, after Governor Harry w.
Nice vetoed the last relief bill
and summoned the Legislature
back to consider further tax
bills.
The Legislature has before it
a bill embodying a gross receipts
tax of three-fourths Of one per
cent, offered by Administration
forces.
To STUDY" Bill Further
The money committees of both
Houses, headed by Delegate Kent
r. Mullikin, Prince Georges, and
Senator j. Alan Coad CD st.
Marys. plan to continue their
" study" of this bill until next
week, at least. Meanwhile, they
are attempting to force Mayor
Howard w. Jackson, of Balti-
more, and other Democratic
leaders to come to Annapolis and
publicly advocate a tax program
for relief.
The possibility that Nice will
make any more statements for the
enactment of a gross receipts tax
or that any of the Baltimore
leaders will be willing to make pub
lie avowal in favor of tax is eX-
tremely remote, Mullikin indicated
today.
Admit Measure Is Dead
In the meantime the Ways and
Means Committee and the Finance
Committee are considering" the
gross receipts tax, which Governor
Nice and the majority of the mem
bers of the House and Senate have
admitted is dead.

SEN. M'CARRAN
DEMANDS PAY
BILL ACTION

Irked because his pay bill,
which would give a minimum Of
$500 to every Government
worker, has been pigeon-holed,
Senator Pat McCarran again has
appealed to the Budget Bureau
for its approval.
McCarran's action was disclosed
late yesterday, several hours after
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee had approved three other
measures affecting Uncle Sans
children. but had ignored the pay
bill.
Time Not Ripe Yet
Senator Bulow, chairman of the
committee, indicated he did not
believe "this is the time" to take
up the McCarran measure, which
was introduced during the early
weeks of this session to provide a
decent living wage" for every
Federal employee.
Hearings on the measure were
requested at the executive session
of the committee yesterday, but
Senator Bulow urged a further
delay, pending a report from the
President on personnel problems.
Two months ago Senator Nc.
Carran aSSailed the Budget Blu
reau for holding up his measure,
and charged it with attempting
to dictate to Congress. His Sec
ond letter requesting prompt &C.
ton to insure early hearings was
in the mails Thursday, his office
said yesterday.
Three Measures Approved
The measures favorably reported
by the committee provide retire
ment for congressional employees,
extension of retirement benefits to
former workers in the Panama
Canal Zone, and Qualification Of
the rules requiring persons seeking
jobs under Civil Service to show
they have been legal residents for
year of the State from which
they apply.
Another measure, referring to
first, second and third class post
masterships, was given to a sub
committee for study. Postmaster
General James A. Farley, in a let
ter, suggested changes in the bill
as passed recently by the House.
He asked that amendments in the
procedure of postal appointments
be made, providing for reappoint-
ments of incumbentS through non
competitive examinations.
