Realism on Surplus Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE.-Harry S. Midden-
dorf of the Maryland Public Ex-
penditure Council has urged Gov
O'Conor to practice realism" and
sound business" In handling the
States current surplus of more than
So 900 900.
In a letter to Gov. O'Conor Mr.
Middendorf said tax rates have been
higher than necessary at this time.
and that war prosperity has ex-
panded State revenue far in excess
of that necessary to operate the
State government efficiently"
Mr.. Middendorf recommended
that, to assure a continuation of
Marylands present sound financial
standing after the war, no surplus
be used for immediate expenditure.
He suggested that a portion of the
surplus be returned to the taxpay-
ers by reduction of State tax rates,
and that the balance be devoted to
debt reduction or placed in a fund
for postwar use.

Gov. Darden Hopeful
For Assembly Study

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 25.-The
SIC, SOC, ,000-a-year program recon-
mended by the Denny School Study
Commission as a comprehensive six
year plan looking toward "a truly
efficient public school system" may
receive its initial consideration at q
special session of the General As
sembly early next year.
Gov. Darden has stated that he is
most hopeful of presenting the
first step of the school program at
the special session to be called if the
people vote for a constitutional con-
vention.
Such session may be held within
the next three months.
The commission recommended
that the goals, including better ad-
ministration and supervision, better
teaching talent, higher salaries and
expansion of vocational education,
be attained by 1852 on STEP by step
basis.
Cost 10 Millions Annually.
The ultimate cost was estimated
at $10,532,426 annually in State and
local funds. OF these additional
funds, $6,315,28S would go to teacher
salaries. The plan calls for $4,678,-
257 to be made available in addi-
tional funds in the 1867 budget
the first year of the next legislative
biennium.
/ The plan would increase to ap-
proximately $50,000,000 a year the
cost of operating the public free
schools. The annual increase in
funds would vary over the six-year
period in building up to the $l0,-
532,42 annual cost.
AS to raising the money for these
additional funds, the commission
said its hearings revealed that the
people are willing to pay for bet
ter schools through increased taxes,
even to the extent of submitting
ito the unpopular sales tax" if
necessary.
All Groups Asked to Help.
Better schools in Virginia, the re-
port said, ARE going to take, neces-
sarily, more money, and both the
tax levying authorities and tax
payers must operate to this end. The
commission hopes that all groups
in the State-business, farming, la
Dor, governmental educational,
press, civic, religious, social, fra
ternal and private citizenship-will
go down the line together to make
possible the funds for better
schools in Virginia"
The commission, which was head
ed by DR.. George H. Denny, former
president of Washington and Lee
University, made an extensive study
of the public schools. 1t conducted
nine public hearings in scattered
sections of the State in making
