inside the homes.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.-Repub-
lican Gubernatorial Candidate
Theodore r. McKeldin, who car
ried his campaign to Prince Georges
County today, asserted last night
that the States $lO,000,0O0 surplus
clearly demonstrates the utter lack
of any necessity for continuing any
State income tax"
He also declared in an address
over Baltimore radio station that
'the policy of this State under Gov.
O'Conor has been to increase taxes
by every available means" to pro-
mote the administration political
interests"
Commenting that Maryland voters
defeated. a proposed constitutional
amendment for an increase tax levy,
Mr.. McKeldin added:
Gov. O'Conor was not at all af-
fected by the expression of public
opinion against a State income tax
and why? His reasons for this
course of action were two.
Says Jobs Are Made.
'First, that revenue for his politi-
cal program and the multiplication
of jobs for his supporters, William
Curran of Baltimore and the small
group of political manipulators,
whom the Governor enlisted to help
him build up personal political
machine, must have jobs galore to
accomplish that purpose.
"The second reason for thus f1out-
ing the public mandate was that
Gov. O'Conor also desired to create
surplus so that when nomination
and election time rolled around he
could boast of his financial manage
ment of the States affairs"
Pledges Tax Overhaul.
Mr.. McKeldin pledged himself to
appoint a tax commission to over
haul the States tax structure and
mot to permit, through my sigma
ture to any bill, the addition Of tax
burdens to the people merely in
order to build up fictitious balance
in the treasury. ="
Mr.. McKeldin was to speak at the
Upper Marlboro Courthouse at 3
o'clock this afternoon. At 6:l5 o'clock
his party will be guests of the Prince
Georges County Rotary Club at the
University of Maryland dining hall.
The candidate will address a Re-
publican rally in the Hyattsville
