Maryland Assembly
Splits on Transfer Of
Montgomery Offices
By J. B. Zotmon
star s,aff corr..pendsnt

ANNAPOLIS. April 1.-The ques,
/. tion of who would have authorit,
over building and electrical inspec.
tions and the Board of Zoning .Ap,
peals in Montgomery County If Gov
/ Lane signs a bill now on his desk
confronted county authorities today
This development occurred as {
result of the defeat in the HOUSE
yesterday of a measure to place
these functions under the county
commissioners.
A few hours later the Senate
passed and sent to the Governor 8
Icompanion measure to take the
three offices away from the Mary
land National Capital Park anC
Planning Commission.
After the House voted, AZ to 43
against the first bill, Anders r
Lofstrand, jr., chairman Of the all
| Republican Montgomery delegation
pointed out that the action leaves
the three Offices "up in the air" be-
cause one bill has passed and the
other has not.
He charged that members of the
Prince Georges County delegation
who led the attack on the measure
previously had agreed to support 1t
in conference with the Montgom-
cry group.
William H. McGrath, Prince
Georges Democrat, said the bill con-
stituted ripper" legislation and was
intended to GUST Democratic en-
ployes of the three Offices affected.
This was denied by Montgomery
Delegate Duncan Clark, who said the
present system is unsatisfactory
and leaves large portion Of Mont
gomery County without adequate
building inspection.
Later, in the Senate, Montgomery
Senator Roy Tasco Davis helped de-
feat a bill which would have in
creased the amount of bonds to be
issued by the park and planning
commission for purchase of park
lands in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties. The vote was
II to 8.
As originally introduced, the bill
affecting the planning commission
would have authorized it to increase
from 100000 to 100000 the
amount of bonds it could issue to
purchase park lands in Montgomery
County and from $500, 900 to 81, ESQ.,
900 for similar purchases in Prince
Georges County.
The Montgomery delegation had
amended the bill to allow the COM
mission to increase the amount of
bonds it could issue in Montgomery
County subject to the approval of
the county commissioners.
Among bills passed by the Senate
and sent to the Governor was bill
establishing pari-mutuel betting at
midget auto tracks in Prince Georges

II. D. Roosevelt III, Toiikis Ks
With Tommuny Leader
BY ihs Assoei1isd Press

NEW YORK, April 1.--Political
observers speculated today on the
possibility that Franklin d. Roose-
welt, jr., might be embarked on q
political career after Mr.. Roosevelt
visited Tammany Hall and confer
red with Frank ]. Sampson, re-
Gently elected leader OF the Demo-
cratic Party organization.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who has been active
politically since his return from the
Navy, said after yesterdays meeting
with Mr.. Sampson that he was in
terested in having young Demo-
Gratis participate in party affairs on
an all-year basis. He is q leader Of
the American Veterans Committee
and was one of the organizers Of

BRUSSELS, April Princes
Louise OF Saxony, TT, whose adven-
lures caused q stir In European
courts 40 years ago, was buried
quietly In Brussels last week. She
had lived there in retirement and
relative poverty for 80 years.
A daughter of Ferdinand w OF
Tuscany, and herself an archduchess
of Austria, she had been married at
81 to Prince Frederic OF Saxony, heir
to the former kingdom Of Saxony.
A few days before the young King
succeeded his father in 1904, Louise
eIoped with Andre Giron, the Belgian
tutor of her four children.
For q while the couple lived IN
Geneva while the divorce proceed
ings were going on. However, three
years later, Louise caused . new
scandal by marrying the italian
composer and violinist, Enrico To-
selli. Four years later they separ-
ated and a son born of this marriage
was left In the care Of the father.
Meanwhile, Louise Travelled all
over Europe spending lavishly.
After World War 7, reduced to-
poverty, she settled down in Brus-
sells under the assumed name Of
Countess d'Ysette. She lived quiet
ly with a couple Of faithful servants
in a small house and could often be
seen buying flowers or throwing
bread crumbs to birds in Brussels
parks. Her erstwhile royal husband
died in 1892.
Princess Louise died Of bronchitis.
Ten persons attended her funeral,
including Princess Josephine, her
cousin and sister Of the late King
Albert of Belgium.
Louise was born in the Salzburg
castle OF the Hapsburg emperors.
Her father was the Grand Duke
Ferdinand w of Tuscany, Haps-
burg. Her mother was of the house
of Bourbon Parma.
She was said to resemble her
distant paternal relative, Marie An
toinette. Her hand was sought by
the sons OF royalty. She turned down
the heir to the throne Of Brazil
and young man who later became
Car Of Bulgaria. She married the
Crown Prince of Saxony.
Life In the Dresden court was not
for Louise. She was seen riding on
a streetcar. She mixed with the
crowd in a public skating rink. She

Assembly Adjourns,
Lauded by Lane for
lis Tax Legislation
By a s.off Correspondent, Of tn. stor


ANNAPOLIS, April Members
of the General Assembly were home
ward bound after adjourning the
1947 session today with verbal pat
on the back from Gov. Lane fol-
valuable services" rendered.
The House adjourned at am
and the Senate about a half hour
later.
Gov. Lane was given every majoi
legislative request except for a plar
to redistribute Assembly representa-.
ton of the counties and Baltimore
City, which the Legislature left
unchanged.
Although House approval of tht
Governors $1l sos 600 bill for capita
improvement at State institutions
was the Legislatures last major task
both branches were busy far into the
night passing 9dozens of loca
measures.
Among them was a bill permitting
Baltimore city and II of the State:
% counties to enact rent contro
regulations in the event Federal con.
trolls are lifted. The act expires
June 80, 1949. The II counties ex-
empted from the act include Prince
Georges.
Lauds Legislators.
In his message, Gov. Lane told
the legislators:
"You have approved the Legislation
under which a generous share OF the
States revenues will be distributed
to the politicals subdivisions. In
order to enable me State to finance
its expanded program, particularly
in the field of education, you have
enacted legislation providing for q
2 per cent consumers sale tax and
for a consumers use tax and have
passed the recommended increase
in the State income tax"
"You have also increased gasoline
taxes from to 5 cents a gallon
and you have revised upward the
license fees on trucks and other
motor vehicles"
Adding that the session will al
ways be remembered as one of the
greatest in the history of the State, "
the Governor closed by expressing
his best wishes for health, happi-
ness and prosperity until We shall
assemble here again in special or
regular session"
Some delegates saw in the Gov
ernor's closing statement hint OF
a special session. They pointed out
that the Legislature has approved
bills granting Baltimore City and
Montgomery County taxing powers
equivalent to those of the State in
the face of Governors opposition.
Sales Tax Fight Flares Up.
Members of tile Baltimore City
and Montgomery delegations have
contended that they must broaden
their taxing field in order to meet
present and future obligations.
If the Governor vetoes the meas
ures, they said, a special session
may have to be called.
Montgomery delegates said the
county's real estate. tax already is
one of the highest, If not the high
est, of any counts in the State and
that other methods of taxation
must be found.
They asserted that another bill
permitting the county commission
ers to impose tax not to exceed s
per cent on commercial and residen-
tial rentals would not provide all
of the additional revenue needed.
The tax would be paid by those rent
ing the properties.

slovakia and, for instance, the Rec
zone of occupation in Germany
We have been told-by foreigners
it is true, but by well-informeC
foreigners-that the Prague govern
ment had undertaken not to operate
information services in the Soviet
zone of Germany nor in Poland.
At the beginning of the year, q
short while before the Moscow con-
ference, the Soviet government
decided that the solidarity of the
Slav state should be affirmed, that
the last traces of territorial con-
flict between Slav Nations should
be wiped out. Poles and Czechs
still were squabbling about Teschen
and Graz areas. It was not neces-
sary for Mr.. Stain to DO more than
express a wish. The governments
of Warsaw and Prague Immediately
concluded a political and economic
alliance. Complimentary conven-
tions were signed recently.
In this same spirit, Czechoslo-
vakia aids needy Slav states from
the relative surplus of its economic
strength. Credits for 100000, 900
and for 4,0O0,000,0OO crowns ($14O,-
100000 and s80,OO0,OOO) have been
granted to Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
respectively. Now, Poland and the
Soviet Union itself are being helped
in this same way. This is an argu-
ment of which Mr.. Gottwald and
Mr.. Masaryk are sure to avail
themselves in order to have their
way concerning the Paris conference.

The Czechs do not complain. They

November, .1945. Then Mr.. Benes
suggested to President Truman that
the liberating armies-Red anc
american troops-be withdrawn or
| December l. President Truman
passed that date to Prime Minister
Stain, who, in a direct telegram tc
Mr. Benes, accepted the proposed
, time limit.
But it is on record that, in April
and May, at the time Mr.. Benes
was quartered in the little Slovak
town of Kosice pending the liberia
ton of Prague, close watch was kept
on him. He was helpless; the best
he could do was to take it as a joke
Nevertheless, he noted not without
concern that no message of his could
go to London or Washington except
via Moscow.
The patriotic fervor of the Czecns,
their hatred of their German perse-
cutors and their fundamental SYM
pathy with the great Slav empire
soon made it plain to Mr.. Stain and
Mr.. Stalin's advisers that there
would be no point in hampering the
development of public life in Czech
land, in interfering with political
freedom.
Iron Curtain is Drawn.
However, when all has been said
Czechoslavakia moves within the
orbit of the Soviet Union and can
not afford to forget it. The iron
curtain is drawn all around, despite

is that the divorce of Eastern Europe
from Western Europe might reduce
their nation to lower status on the
continent. But, at times, they are
haunted by grave doubts as to the
future. They have before their eyes
Poland, still torn by hatred of the
Russians, despite the effort of Pre-
mier Cyrankiewicz to contain it.
How long will Russia tolerate that
state of affairs? Supposing Ger
many should some day take a Com
munist turn, or her "beaten but un-
bowed" should find subordination to
Moscow more eypedient than to
Washington and London? A Ger

A WARNING

House approval Of separation Of the
Division of Game and Inland Fisheries
from the State Department Of Conservation
and Development may we'll be warning
to other departments that if they let some
Of their divisions slip in public esteem
they may lose them.
Thai, more than anything else. is what
happened in this case.
Tar Heel sportsmen, convinced returns
In service by the division were not COM
parable 10 what they were putting into if,
simply revolted. The only solution they
saw was its removal from the department
and placement under a commission TO be
appointed by the Governor. They organized
and presented their side we'll. The result
is the measure went to the senate without
debate. An Identical one, bearing the
names Of II Of the SO senator's, was Of
tered there at the same time the house
proposal was introduced. Now, proponents
claim al least q upper house members
are committed TO vote for its passage.
The proposed new division, as the result
OF house-approved amendments, would
start with a clean slate. Its director would
not be required 10 have formal training in
the conservation Of wildlife and a salary
limitation Of $500 has been removed.
The measure would give the sportsmen
all they wanted and, so far, il looks like
a victory for them over the status quo.
Meanwhile, other state departments should
realize a precedent is on the way TO being
established. When public feeling thai
a division is moi fulfilling its functions as
II should. becomes strongly evident, il is
time for the department TO act TO meet
possibly wellfounded demands.

ANOTHER AGRICULTURAL AID

Because Of more than ordinary interest
in port development and promotion Of new
industry here in recent months, some
may have gained the impression Will
mington is not as concerned as it should
be over its nearby agricultural resources.
Nothing could be further from the actual
situation.
A great many here are happy TO hear
that work on the vegetable research
laboratory on the Castle Haynes road will
get under way soon. Important in the de-
velopment Of the research farm, which
began operating last September, the step
is another toward greater service to the
truckers in their effort to grow the best
possible produce at minimum cost. In pro-
ducing crops that will bring better prices,
the farmer is, in turn, bringing more
money into our midst.

Let's Hear More OF Them

payroll? Let him live awhile, he'll learn
you can't change things overnight"
There's a hinf Of defeatism in those
questions. The feeling they indicate thai
applies the brakes on progress.
The young men are quite capable OF
answering them, if such is necessary.
They have been through the greatest
war the world has wei known. In doing
so, they came back with the right to stand
up and say what is necessary 10 make
this a better place, in which to live. AL
though young in years, they made de-
cisions in battle their fathers are glad
they never had to face. This mighty CON
flict brought about by mistakes Of older
men, gave them a maturity Of viewpoint
and earnestness Of judgment that few
others have attained at a comparable age
in normal times. As for payrolls, that
question applies TO less than one person in
ten.
When these young men believe they
can effect change for the better, nothing
is worse Than TO dampen that spirit. If
Edison had been convinced by doubters
that the oil lamp was here TO stay, we
probably would have it as u meal Of
illumination today. But he wasn't and re-
fused to listen to those who thought other
wise.
The Important thing is to welcome their
ideas and try TO put the good ones into
effect.
The world they find themselves in is
one they inherited. They are not satisfied
with the mess Of things dealt Out by their
elders. They believe in correction and BET
terment. And who has a better right TO?
AS the Rev. Mortimer Glover said at the
close Of the civic club program, these
young men are our greatest asset.
Their thoughts are characteristic Of
what millions Of their age are thinking
throughout the world. Whether they will
materialize depends greatly on the older
generations attitude. If it is one Of an
open mind, ready to help establish the
new and better, then the contribution Of
these young men will be a rich one and
this and other communities.
To not give them the consideration and
action their views deserve is to ignore
the greatest of all sources Of inspiration
and means Of material progress.
