STATE FACES UNBALANCED
BUDGET AT NEXT SESSION
Next Governor Must Find Means
of Meeting Revenue Deficit

The next governor of Maryland will
face difficult financial situation, prob
ably forcing him to submit an unbal-
anced state budget to the 1889 legis-
lature, because of the new law pro-
hibiting future gasoline tax diver
sions.
When the new governor, who takes
office in January, 1889, begins his bud
get preparation he will find that the
general fund expenditures of the
State are approximately 100000
annually in excess of general fund re-
ceipts.
Prohibited by law from diverting
special gasoline funds, he must either
cut the general fund expenses by about
100000 yearly, or submit an unbal-
anced budget.
One Way Out
He could submit theoretically bal
anced budget, it was pointed out, sub
ject to action of the legislature which
would be required to increase taxes
for the general fund or float bonds for
general expenses in order to bring the
budget into balance.
The excess of general fund appro-
priations over income has been a main
problem of State financing since 1882.
1t has been met by issuing bonds or by
diversions, despite recommendations
that additional taxes were necessary
to boost the general fund income.
Governor Harry w. Nice, in his last
budget message to the legislature,
pointed out the necessity of additional
general fund income, but the legis
ture took no steps to remedy the sit
uation. 1t made some budget cuts to
reduce diversions, and provided bonds
to restore certain State Roads Com
mission revenue switched into the gen.
eral fund
Governor Nice gave the legislature
a proposed schedule of new taxes. He
pointed out that at is only in the
event of failure to enact adequate leg
islation of this sort that the fund
transfers become vital to the mainte-
nance of our State government.
Blocked By Legislature
"The next Governor has got to find
about 100000 year to keep the
State functions at the exising level"
Governor Nice said when questioned
on the situation. "This is due to the
failure of the legislature, in opposition
to my direct recommendations to re-
supply the general fund.
"The next executive has either got
to deplete and retrench to the point of
bankrupting existing State agencies,
or submit an unbalanced budget to the
legislature, to be balanced by the levy
ing of additional taxes or by bond is
sues"

 Threat Creates Anger
 News of the threat to deprive Winston of his compensation has aroused his many friends and they are definitely campaigning against the fusion ticket.

told Crowley, land said he wanted the baby.
 "she wouldn't let us have him and so we took him anyway"
 Ewert Drove Kidnap Car Began said that Fred Ewert, friend of the Horsts, drove the au- tomobile in which they fled from the quiet West Side neighhorhood after taking the baby.
 A man and a woman stepped from an automobile yesterday near the front walk of the home which the Horsts recently had rented. Slip- ping through shrubbery, they ape preached Mrs. Horst and the child. Are you Mrs. HorstP" they asked. "Yes," she replied.
 "Is this Donaldq"
 She said 1t was and upon this the man seized the baby and started to run back the way he had come. Mrs. Horst diminutive, red-haired, leaped to her feet and grappled with her heavier opponent.
 They're taking my baby" she screamed.
 Neighbor Beaten Off
 Neighbors ran to her aid but they were beaten off and the couple, ac- companied by the child, and an un- identified man In the drivers seat, drove away.
 At 5:30 p. m, approximately an hour after the Kidnapping, man tel ephoned the Horsts that "your baby Is safe, but we want $5,00O ransom T Hours later another message was delivered.
 "The right father and the right mother have the baby now" 1t said Police Capt. Herbert Burns called Horst immediately after recovery of the baby.

 The probability was foreseen that its formal war started, the Japa- nese would attempt @ landing at Tsingtao, which is of great strate- gic value.
 However, the fact that American Warships are there was the decid- ing factor.
 Anxiety increased when 1t was confirmed today that the Chinese government has advised officials and other employees to evacuate their families from Nanking, the national capital. It would be ex- pected that Japan, in event of war, would bomb the city. However, 1t was learned that fear of Q food shortage was the first considera- ton of the government in advising evacuation of those able to leave.
 Situation Quiet
 The North China situation was reported quiet. Japanese war planes continued sporadic bombings of Chinese trains, intending to warn troops from going north.
 Japanese soldiers had seized all of the Peiping- -Tientsin country in a tight grip.
 The Japanese today put an army guard around the Russian consult ate, footed by gunmen allegedly in Japanese pay.
 Gen. Kiyoshi Katsuki, Japanese commander in chief, donated l00,- 900 yuan ($30, for relief of Chi- nese made destitute by the Japa- nese bombardment of the city.

 CHURCH FAVORED

Continued from Page D bidding for recognition as belliger- ents by the great powers, and par ticularly by Great Britain.
 Present Archbishop
 To the present Archbishop Coma Y Tomas, archbishop of Toledo has been accredited as "semi-official representative in provisional charge" to the Nationalist government, and the Nationalist government has been represented at Vatican City by Marquis Antonio De Magaz and Marquis Pably De Aycinet, also list de as "in semi-official charge.
 However, the Vatican also has maintained at least nominal rela- tions with the Loyalist government, though diplomatic representativ are not actually at their posts. Now the question rose whether even these nominal relations would be main- tained.
 Denounced Atrocities
 Paris, Aug. 4.-(UP)-The Span ish Nationalist Publicity Mission asserted today that highest authori- ties of the Roman Catholic church in Spain had written a collective letter, addressed to all Catholic bishops throughoutt he world, de- nouncing alleged atrocities by Loy- alists. It was said that the letter was signed by two cardinals, six archbishops, 35 bishops and five vi- cars and that the Nationalists at. tached great importance to 1t as carrying the authority of the Span ish Episcopate.
 Letter Quoted
 The Nationalist Mission quote the letter as saying, in summarizing the church's losses: "The anarcho-com- munist revolution was premeditated and one of the cruelest in history Twenty thousand churches were destroyed or wholly pillaged. Forty per cent of priests in devastated dioceses were assassinated. In some dioceses the proportion at- tained 30 per cent. It is estimated that 100000 civilians have been as- assassinated for their beliefs.
 Many Mutllated
 Many were terribly mutilatet before they were killed. They tore out eyes, cut off tongues, burned oi buried them alive or killed them with axes. They were led to death without accusation, without proof and generally without trial. "These acts were anti-Spanish and anti. Christian. The Martyr must be counted by thousands. Hatred of Christ and the Virgin has reached a paroxysm."
 It was asserted that the letter ended with this pronouncement oi support of the National movement
 "In Spain today the only hope fol rebirth of peace and justice lie. in the triumph of the Nationalist movement"

sonally decorated by Marshal Pctain of France. He was wounded in ac- tion and receives disability cons pensation from the federal gov- ernment.
 Two years ago "Jim Hicks" waged a strong campaign, and was the keystone of the republican attack. On election day he polled 15,240 votes, the highest total ever re- corded by a republican candidate in a city election in Waterbury, The other republican candidates ran considerably behind him in the voting.
 Completely Ignored
 Despite that showing, however, he was completely ignored when the republicans and independent demo- crats were forming their fusion ticket. Though he led the g. o. p. ticket in 1885, Winston did not fig ure in the republican plans this year and he was given no consid- eration when the slate was drawn up. He was not invited to any of the pre-nomination conferences and his advice was not sought by the republican town committee, the same group which owes much of the viz orous campaign he waged when run ming two years ago.
 winston was naturally incensed when he was ignored completely by the master minds of the fusion party and stated openly that he would make no attempt to support the joint ticket. Then came the threat that he would lose his government compensation if he tried to upset the applecart".
 May Prove Boomerang
 The threat to Winston will prob ably prove @ boomerang for the fusioneers. Whiston's friends in all three local parties will most certainly resent such campaigning Bitter feeling against the fusion forces has already been aroused by the incident and Is growing stead- fly. , -
 Already seriously handicapped by defections of French, Italian and German voters, the fusion party faces the loss of the support of many more voters who cannot stomach such tactics as were employed III an attempt to have Winston sup. port the coalition ticket agains' Mayor Frank Hayes.
 Outspoken Opponent
 Instead of frightening Winston the threat has made him an out. spoken opponent of the fusion ticke, and will alienate many voters whc might otherwise support the res publican independent democrat com bination. And as 0 matter of fact Whiston's compensation is beyond the control of any group Of poli' ticians, but the attempt to intimi' date has burned "Steve" up.

 Decided To Accept Him
 Churruca told the United Press that the Vatican secretariat of state decided last week to accept him. This was equivalent to recognition by the aVtican of the Nationalist regime. Churruca, sent to Rome by Franco, has been in full possession of the Spanish government embas- sy here for month.
 This is a gesture of considerable importance" he said to the Unit cd Press today. T am certain that public opinion in Spain will re- ceive this news with the greatest gratitude and relief, inasmuch as the Spanish people have always distinguished itself by its religious sentiments and profound respect for the head of the church.

 Churruca Reluctant
 Churruca was reluctant to en- large on this point but he indicated that the action of the Roman Cath olic church probably would consoli- date Catholics all over the world in support of the Nationalists now that a period of confusion had been ended by his acceptance as charge d'affaires. Hitherto the National ist Junta had been represented by envoys in semi official charge"
 Monsignor Antoniutti, whose wis., 1t to Franco prepared the way for recognition, arrived in Spain less than a week ago. He is known as one of the most astute diplomats of the Vatican.

 Afterward, she said Rose refused to disclose the baby's whereabouts.
