Hospitals Look
For State Aid
I'm Maryland
Legislature May Act
On Higher Payments
For Relief Cases
By the Assoeiofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. BINARY
lands hospitals, caught in a flnan-
cial squeeze by rising prices, looked
today to the State administration
To sponsor a bill at the forthcoming
special session to increase alloca-
iions for care of INDECENT cases.
There were indications such aid
would be included in the final draft
of the administrations program to
be presented Monday at meeting
of the Legislative Council.
The special session starts We'd
nesday and is expected to last two
or three days.
The proclaimed purpose OF the
session is to work out a tax pro-
gram which will allow Baltimore
City to raise about S7,000,000 in
additional monies to balance its
budget. ..
Sales Tax Revision Discussed.
Administrative leaders also were
discussing such things as possible
revision of the sales tax to raise the
present exemption of 9 cents to
something like IA cents and to pro-
vide more funds for operating State
institutions, but there has been NO
formal announcement that they
would be included in the special
session program.
Another measure up for discussion
is one to provide S2,000,000 bond
issue for legislative office building
in Annapolis.
Marylands 80 hospitals are pre-
pairing to place their case before
individual legislators before the spe-
cial session gets under way.
Letter Sent to Hospitals.
A letter sent to each of the hos
pitals by the Maryland district of
the Columbia Hospital Association
asserted it was imperative the mat
ter be discussed with members of
the Legislature Immediately.
The hospitals, the letter said, lost
more than $1,20O,000 last year be-
cause payments by the State and
it's subdivisions for INDECENT care
were not sufficient.
The Republican minority will
caucus three hours before the 2
pm. session starts Wednesday.
Senator Minority Leader kimble,
Republican, of Allegany said he
called the caucus after learning the
Democrats would hold one at noon.
When asked whether the Repub-
iicans would talk over the sales
tax, Mr.. Kimble said, Il wouldn't
be surprised Myself, I am definite
ly in favor of repeating it, but
whatever the Republicans may do
or advocate, nothing will be done
to interfere with State finances or
the administrations budget during
the fiscal neriOd
