Gov. Lanes Proposal
For Local Tax Power
Receives No Support

Reaction of nearby Maryland
Legislators to an announcement by
Gov. Lane that bill giving special
taxing powers to all counties and
municipalities in the State may be
introduced at the special session of
the General Assembly ranged today
from outright opposition to a wait
and-see' attitude.
In a speech in Baltimore yester-
day, the Governor indicated the
measure would receive his support.
The special session is expected to be
called later this month.
In voicing his opposition to such
legislation, State Senator L. Harold
Sothoron of Prince Georges County
described it as bad fiscal policy"
Interference Is Seen,
Such a BILL he pointed out,
could easily interfere with the
States financial program and result
in less revenue to the State"
Senator Sothoron, who was Dem
ocratic leader of the Senate at the
last Session of the Legislature, re-
called the Prince Georges delegation
was in the forefront of the fight
against legislation that would have
given Montgomery County and Bal
timore City special taxing powers.
While he emphasized he was
speaking only for himself, the Sen
ator said he believed the rest of his
delegation would "go along with me-"
Anders r. Lofstrand, jr., chairman
of the all-Republican Montgomery
delegation, said his group preferred
to withhold judgment until the bill
actually is INTRODUCED.
Delegates Change Stand.
This represents a reversal of the
delegations stand at the last session
of the General Assembly, when it
unsuccessfully sponsored similar
legislation.
Mr.. Lofstand explained that Mont
gomery County is not in need of
special taxing powers at this time
and that the delegations primary
aim at the special session will be to
seek repeal of the States 2 per
cent sales tax.
II the attempt fails, he added
the delegation may introduce bill
to return to the counties all funds
in excess of the $18,0O0,OO0 which
the Governor estimated the sales
levy would produce annually.
The Montgomery legislator said
State officials have estiamted the
tax will produce more than $685.
100000 a year.
Mr.. Loftsand said his delegation
also is considering legislation to
repeal the State income and real
estate taxes.

Citizens Group Asks
Shiftin Budget Routine

The Brightwood Citizens Associa-
ton voted last night to recommend
to the District Commissioners that
they review estimates submitted by
department heads and set reason
able budget before holding public
hearings.
1t was pointed out that the vast
increase in the 1949 budget had
caused considerable comment among
District taxpayers and much of this
could have been eliminated had
action been taken prior to publica-
ton in the press of the amounts
requested by the various depart
mentS.
Another resolution was adopted
asking that in view of recent criti-
cism of the police department.. Supt
Robert j. Barrett be given ample
time to complete his plans to in
crease efficiency of the force and
urging the District Commissioners
to approve requests for additional
personnel.
The Traffic Bureau will be asked
to install traffic lights on Kennedy
street NV. at the Fifth and Thir-
teenth street intersections.
Col. Wesley w. Bouterse of the
Salvation Army addressed the meet
ing on activities of the Community
Chest and its need for support.
The meeting was held in the Paul
Junior High School. Percy V. Tenn
pleton, president, conducted the
business session.

Sales Tax Is InequitabIe,
Women S Group Maintains

The Voteless District of Columbia
League of Women Voters does not
believe the sales tax has been shown
TO be the only solution to the Dis
trict's fiscal problems, according to
Mrs. John F. Thomas, president.
In statement, Mrs. Thomas said
the organization had not changed
the position it took in testimony be-
fore the Commissioners last Febru-
ary. At that time, she recalled, "tke
conclusion was reached that the in
come tax is the most equitable form
of taxation, the sales tax the least
equitable; that the sales tax should
therefore, be used only as last re-
sort-that is, only after exhausting
other means for obtaining revenue. y
So far, Mrs Thomas concluded
I'VE feel that other means have not
been explored sufficiently for us to
conclude that the sales tax is neces-
earilv the solution"

u. n. Atomic Group
Divides Up Problem
Between Committees
BY ,hs As.oeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. r, April L.
The United Nations Atomic Energy
Commission divided its heavy work
load between its principal commit
tees today after q four hour wrangle
In which Russia and Poland refused
to vote on how the work was to
be done.
Meanwhile, the U. N. Commission
for Conventional Armaments was
called into session again for further
general statements on how it should
go about its assignment OF recom-
mending an arms limitation pro-
gram to the Security Council.
Russia initiated the move for
arms reduction in the last session OF
the U. N. Assembly, but Andrei
Gromyko has not yet spoken his
country's views to the commission.
Alexander ParoM Of France also
has not spoken.
Atomic Problem Divided.
The Working Committee Of the
Atomic Commission, made up OF the
principal delegates of the commits
sion, decided by 10-to-o vote, with
Russia and Poland abstaining, that
the atomic problem should be
divided this way:
l. The Working Committee will
deal with Mr.. Gromyko's 13 pro-
posals for atomic controls, which
have the effect Of substituting RUS
sia's plan for the United States ideas
already adopted by the commission.
2. The Political Committee, made
up of delegates or experts attached
to the delegations, will study wide
range Of atomic questions.
Reports from the committee room
said Mr.. Gromyko accepted the COM
mittee's orders for the Working
Committee, but refused to agree to
the extremely general nature Of the
work envisioned for the Political
Committee. He was reported to be
concerned whether the Political
Committee could take up amend
ments he has held In reserve on
various aspects OF the commissions
first report.
Delegates said the Political Com
mittee itself would have to Judge
later Just what it could take up, but
lit was said there likely would be no
attempt to prevent Russia from in
PRODUCING such amendments as the
Soviet delegation desired.
Assignment Passed On.

on to these two committees Its
