Author Seeks 10 Ban
Judges Waiver Right
Senator Davis to Offer
Bill in Maryland
Legislature Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, March 1. - The
Maryland legislature will receive
bill Monday to withdraw the right
of judges to waive the 48-hour
marriage license delay law. Senator
Wilmer Fell Davis, Republican, of
Caroline, Father" of the delay law,
said today.
Senator Davis announced his in
tention to introduce the bill after
Assembly leaders predicted passage
next week of the Governors $106,-
664 900 budget bill and supplemental
budget measure.
He explained he believed the pro-
vision giving judges the power to
permit immediate issuance of
licenses was no longer necessary.
Many Waivers Reported.
Disclosures this week showed that
nearly 80 per cent of 5000 licenses
issued at Elkton, Maryland's
"Gretna Green" last year had been
obtained through court waivers,
many of them on the basis OF
physicians certificates that the
bride-to-be was pregnant.
But, Senator Davis said. in the
two and a quarter years that the
delay law with waiver provision had
been in effect in Caroline County,
"our judge has issued only two
orders to set the delay aside"
Yesterday, he introduced a bill
to make it perjury punishable by as
much as a years Imprisonment for
any one to falsify any material
statement to expedite wedding.
Budget Bill Nearly Ready.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will meet at Q pm. Monday
in special session to conclude its
deliberations on Gov. O'Conors
budget bill. The Senate Finance
Committee has virtually completed
its study of the measure.
The revenue measures are the
only obstacle to action on other
appropriations bills, including the
administrations s4,000,000 bond
issue for capital Improvements and
the bill for State purchase of the
Claiborne-AnnapoliS ferry.
Gov. O'Conor is expected to sub
nit his supplemental budget early
in the week. House leaders have
called night and day sessions all
next week to speed up legislative
action to avoid laSt-minute jam.

Income Tax Payers
Requests for Aid
Trip|ed This Year
Broadening Of Base
And Defense Levy Bring
More TO Field Office

The Washington field Office of the
collector of internal revenue is ex-
pecting three times as many re-
quests for assistance in filling out
income tax returns before the March
Is deadline than were handled last
year, deputy collectors said yes
terday.
The greater number of persons
obliged to file returns because Of
the broadened tax base, and changes
Ii the manner Of computation
through addition of the defense levy
are factors that already have COM
bined to bring crowds of perplexed
citizens to the Office, it wss said
The daily load probably will move
upward sharply beginning tomor-
row, but the staff of deputies as
signed to the field unit in the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue Building
has been trained especially for the
task and should be able to keep traf-
flc moving, officials said
Taxpayers can guard against
penalties, as well as take advantage
Of all legal deductions, if they avail
themselves of this free expert aid,
M H. Magruder, collector for the
district of Maryland, which includes
Washington, emphasized in a state
ment released by his Baltimore
headquarters.
He reminded citizens that all
single persons whose gross income
is at least $500 a year and all mar
ried couples whose combined gross
income is at least $4,000 must file a
return, Notwithstanding the fact
that they may not owe tax because
of credits for dependents or other
deductions.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
expects returns this year to total
approximately 100000, as against
about 100000 in 1910.
