0'Conor on Surplus
By the Associotsd Press

| BALTIMORE, Oct. 1o.-The Mary
land Federation of Republicans said
in a statement yesterday the State
fund surplus of over s11 90, 900 which
Gov. O'Conor reported when he left
Office last December "does not con-
form to the definition of surplus
in the common accepted sense"
The Republican Federation char
acterized its statement as a reply"
to q statement released by Mr..
O'Conor two days ago reiterating he
had left q surplus in the State
treasury.
What good is the surplus which
O'Conor claims he left" asked the
Republicans, 'if Gov. Lane indicates
it has either been spent or pledged
so that now it Is unavailable?"
In his statement, Mr.. O'Conor said
he left the State in financial con-
dition in marked contrast" to that
which existed when he followed Re-
publican Harry w. Nice as Governor
in 1899.
Indeed in marked contrast"
countered the Republicans.
"The O'Conor administrator
managed to enact an income tax
and the rate jumped to 2a per cent
on earned income and 6 per cent on
unearned income. -
"At least let those who are re-
sponsible be frank with and ADMIT
to the people that heavy taxes have
been imposed and that in itself has
produced income for the State treas
sury, and not frugal, economic man

Community Chest Changes
Blamed for Weakness

The current reorganization in the
Washington Community Chest was
blamed last night for its present
weakness"
Capt. w. w. Bouterse of the
Salvation Army's District branch,
speaking to the Congress Heights
citizens Association, pointed out
the Washington Chest has reduced
it's Salvation Army budget by l3
per cent, while Baltimore has In
creased its contribution by 20 per
cent.
"Why is such a sound concern as
the District chapter failing?" asked
Capt. Bouterse. "It is directly due
to lack of proper executive officials.
The Chest doesn't even have an
executive secretary"
Capt. Bouterse agreed some OF the
agencies now getting Chest funds
could be eliminated. But he said
two of the agencies which have been
attacked-the Travellers Aid and

Heavyweights will headline the
boxing card at the Civic Auditor
ium Tuesday. April 1, when big

navian who now makes Seattle
his home, will engage in ten
round bout with either Jack
Flood, 195-pound Negro boxer of
Bremerton or AL Ware, 30
FOUNDER from San Francisco.
Flood is a boy who hasn't had too
much experience at the boxing
game but who has a wallop that
will stop anyone he hits. AL Ware
is one of the toughest trial horses
in the heavyweight division any
where. Another ten-round bout
bringing together Buddy Hoffman
and Johnny Scott will also be on
the card, assuring the fans an
evening of real entertainment
whether the big boys turn out to
be pleasing performers or not.
Results of bout last week were /:
Joe German of Seattle in a four
round win over Bomber Daniels
of Portland. Buddy Andrews of
