 Munz on the day of the vote stated he had had only one request from one individual in the Second Division to retain the board.
 The most asinine statement made on the Senate floor, which has produced many, was Jones hys-

 Both Jones and Cochran de- clared all the requests they had heard for the continuation of the Board were inspired, presumably by the Board itself.
 Engebreth asked Cochran if he had also heard that the Fairbanks Chamber was represented at the Anchorage meeting and he replied that his statement to the effect nat Nome and Fairbanks were not represented was based on a press report.

Byrd Asks Forresta|
To Explain Overlap
In Liaison Offices

Secretary of Defense ForrestaI was
called on today by Chairman Byrd
of the Joint Congressional Commit
Zee on Non-Essential Federal Expen-
ditures to explain why the Air Force
and the Army should set up separate
legislative liaison Offices at a time
when the armed forces are being
unified
The Senator said his letter was
prompted by one from Mai. Gen.
wilton B. Parsons of the Depart
ment of the Army, informing him
that the Air Force is establishing
Its own liaison Office.
. The Senator wants to know how
many persons will be assigned to the
new office and the estimated cost.
Advice is requested also" the
Senator wrote, "as to why, in the
name of unification, one such Office
cannot be made to suffice for both
the Army Department and Air
Force. In addition, I would appre-
ciate being supplied with organiza-
ton charts for both the Army De-
partment and the Air Force which
would show any and all duplication
and overlapping of administrative
and service facilities"
The Senator also made public his
monthly report showing that al
though Federal employment con-
tinued a gradual decrease in. Sep
tember. the total is still slightly
more than 100000. During the
month 81 agencies reported net in
creases, but the overall total went
down by about 10000. The total at

Assembly 10 Debate
Sales Levy Revision,
County Tax Powers
BY the Asseeiotsd Prsss

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 3o.-A
five-point legislative program, which
among other things will incluce
sales tax revision and may include
new taxing powers for Montgomery
County, began to take final form
today.
Gov. Lane and his advisers started
series of conferences on the exact
form in which administration bills
will be presented when the General
Assembly meets In special session
next Wednesday.
The main issues up for discussion
included:
Amendment of the 2 per cent
sales tax law, possibly to increase
the exemption from g. to IA cents,
and to give the Board Of Public
Works authority to change the ex-
emption level if and when fiscal
conditions permit.
New taxing authority for Balti-
more City to take the place of GER
tain powers which will expire in
December. Some Of the larger coun-
ties, notably Baltimore and Mont
gomery, have indicated they would
seek similar authority.
The main purpose of the special
session is to provide more revenue
for Baltimore City.
Although details were not dis
closed, in general the measure will
stipulate that the city must stay
out Of taxation fields occupied by
the State-such as income tax,
sales tax and motor fuel taxes.
Although the big counties have
expressed interest in getting the
same thing, any move in that di-
rection probably will meet with op-
position on the floor of the Legis-
lature,

At one time it was possible to
take a Jewish census by picking
Jewish names out of the city d.
rectory. But not now. How MANY
Jewish names do you find in your
congregation, on it's board of di-
rectors? Ten or twenty years
ago, you would begin to see the
pattern of Anglicizing names. Are
these people of lower status as
Jews because they do not have the
traditional name?
A name is an asset or liability.
A name-On card or letterhead-
can easily reject the person; or it
can be so neutral as to play TO
part. The only exception is the
person with unusual services; his
name can be anything without
damage. But the mass of names
must remain within these bounds:
neither handicapping nor ridicul-
ousIy fancy.
If a family changes it's name,
the decision should be made when
the children are very small or be-
fore their birth. Especially should
a student in the professional
schools if he decides to change
his name do this before his di-
plomas, certificates are given him.
We suggest name changing, if
done, before the children are born
or begin school because it is most
embarrassing for child to pre-
sent his parents, using a different
name than his own.
Of course, there are some of us
who bear with the name, either
because we have not acted in time
or because we are Indifferent to
the consequences, if any.
