Lacy Shaw Foresees
Oppressive Laws in
Montgomery County
BY ]. B. Zotmon

The all-Republican Montgomery
County delegation to the General
Assembly today was accused Of
sponsoring bills at the session just
ended which resulted In a series
Of schemes for new and oppressive
county laws and the largest total Of
bond issue authorizations ever
passed for the county In q four-year
term
The charge was made by Lacy
Shaw, chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee for the
county.
Since the Republican State Sem
ator and the six Republican dele
gates were elected by a number Of
thousand charter supporters" Mr..
Shaw added, "the legislative record
just finished at Annapolis can be
taken as an accurate preview OF
what a charter county council legis-
lature woulds accomplish"
A preliminary draft of a proposed
charter for the county was made
public Tuesday. The final draft will
be submitted TO the voters at the
1948 general election.
Bill on Taxing Cited.
To support his charge, Mr.. Shaw
cited the bill passed by the Legis-
lature to give the county commits
sioners every tax power now held
by the State.
Under this bill, according to Mr..
Shaw, the county commissioners
would have authority to levy a
county income tax, county fran
chise taxes, use taxes, taxes on
utility bills and any other tax the
State could constitutionally levy.
In addition, Mr.. Shaw pointed to
another bill permitting the county
commissioners to levy tax not to
exceed per cent on all residential
or commercial rentals, to be paid
by the tenant.
"As far as we have been able to
find out" he asserted, there is no
such law any place in the United
States. Remember, this one ex-
pertinent can cost the renter Of
place to live or do business, and
PROBABLY of farm. a county tax OF
5 per cent on his or her annual
rent"
Turning to the bond issue ques-
ton, Mr.. Shaw said the delegation
passed 100000 worth of new
bonds for schools, roads and sewers.
Sewer Tax Assailed.
These and other bond issues
introduced and passed by the Re
publican delegation in the 1947
session not only represent the larg-
est total amount of bond authorize
tions ever enacted for Montgomery
County but they bring In an entire
ly new scheme of taxing every one
everywhere to build local sewer
systems to serve favored small COM
rnunities."
Mr.. Shaw apparently referred to
o bill authorizing the county COM
nnissioners to issue 100000 in bonds
for the construction of sewage
systems.
Mr.. Shaw also said the charter
Republican elected delegation spon-
sored bill for a bond issue to
refund the approximately 81 100000
worth of county bonds which will
mature within the next few years.
Such action, he contended, "is
contrary to all of the previous long
continued attacks of charter leaders,
Republican leaders, civic federation
leaders and fine League of Women
Voters. AS far as We have heard,
they have all refrained from such
attack when their recently chosen
legislative representatives followed
this course"

Two Labor Groups Oppose
Communications Merqer
BY the A,soeiotsd Press

Two labor organizations have ex-
pressed opposition to a proposal for
merger Of the United States COM
panies engaged in international
communication services, the State
Department said yesterday.
The American Communications
Association (CIO) spoke against any
such move before an nter-depart-
mental group studying the question.
The CIO union took the position
that such a merger would be OPP
posed to the interest Of the public"
and would not offer sufficient guar
antees for protection of employees.
The All-America Cables Employees
Association independently also
spoke out against any merger on
the ground that such steps would
benefit the companies involved but
would not help the workers.
The Government group which
heard the testimony is the
Telecommunications Co-ordinating
Committee made up of representa-
tives of the State, War, Navy. Treas
ury, and Commerce Departments
and the Federal Communica tions

Current Budget Estimates
Revised With Balance Seer
BY the Assoeioied Press

The administra ton is revising It's
budget estimates for the current
fiscal year, Secretary Of the Treas
ury Snyder said yesterday. 8
The new figures will be given out
by President Truman when they
are ready, Mr.. Snyder told news
conference.
F.! The last official estimate, given
out by the President early in jan
iuary, was that there would be a
ldeficit-meaning an excess of spend
ing over receipts-of about s2,300,-
o00,0 when the fiscal year ends
June 30.
| Government analysts now expect
that instead of any deficit, the
budget will be balanced for the first
time in II years. In addition. some
have said privately there'll be sur
plus of receipts over spending amout-
ing to perhaps about 81 ,000, ,0o0. 900.
Mr. Snyder refused to guess the
amount of the prospective surplus.
However, in response to question
as to whether 1t might run as high
as s4, 900 600, 900, he made it plain he
considers that estimate far too high.

Woman FotoIIy Stabbed
On Her Front Doorstep
By The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-A 26-
year-old mother was slain, appar-
entity with a screw driver, at the
front doorstep Of her North Phil
adelphia home early today.
Edward C. Gundaker was looking
out window of his apartment
across the street and said he saw a
man hack Mrs. Clara Matthews on
the head and drag her into an alley
He telephoned the police.
A blood stained, six-inch screw
driver was found at the entrance of
the alleyway. The victims husband

er and singer, said his wife carried

voted against their own principles.
George E. G. Hayes put 1t this
way:
! I'VE as a board are obligated to
determine whether children are
white or colored. I realize it is the
law but I am voting against my
personal feelings
/ Mrs. Velma G. Williams added
this:
Because of the existing law, I am
voting favorably. However. regret
deeply that in this democracy OF
ours there has to be separation in
education"
In the statement mailed to the
board today. DR.. Galarza said he
realized the action of the board was
mandatory under the law. He ex-
planned, however, the authority OF
the board comes from Congress
which in turn gets its power from
the Constitution.
| "And nowhere in the Constitution
is there a power delegated to Con-
gress to set up separate schools,
he said.
Miss Galarza said that on April IA
when school reconvenes after the
spring holidays. Il will ignore the
order and return to the Washington
Vocational School,"
Il expect by that time we will have
seen what legal redress we have" her
father added. .....
Miss Galarza Is not restricting her
talents to costume design, although
her ambitions lie in that field. She
is accomplished at interior decorat-
ing, water-color painting and is
studying sketching several nights a
week at American University. She
speaks Spanish and has studied in
Lima, Peru, where she lived for a
time.
Miss Galarza was born in Sacra-
mento, Calf Her parents came to
Washington from New York in 1886.
She went to Macfarland Junior High
School and then to Washington-Lee
High School in Arlington County,
Va. The family then moved to
Sacramento and Miss Galarza was
graduated from a high school there
in 1899. They returned here last fall.

By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW.CIO

If ever there was a time for all unions to
forget their internal factional fights and unite
in the face of the most serious danger that
ever confronted them, that time is now.
Unity which is necessary at all times if
the union is to make progress, is not only
necessary but required if we are to be able
to successfully meet the challenge which faces
the entire labor movement.
Few people, outside of the leadership of
the labor movement, seem to realize the seri-
ousnss of the situation in which labor finds
itself at the present time.
To this end, we must bend all our efforts,
not only to bring home to the rank and file
of the union the meaning of the legislation
which is being readied to break and destroy
labor, but to re-dedicate ourselves to re-
newal of the old bonds of unity which
strengthened us in the early days and made
our progress possible.
NOT THE TIME
This is not the time for anyone to put
their personal ambitions ahead of the unions
welfare This is time for leadership to lead
in unity and not to divide itself by wasting
its efforts on factionalism which could be
put to better use.
This is not the time to argue about juris-
dictions and positions when the reactionaries
are united in their opposition and dislike for
a labor movement which has succeeded in
bringing workers larger measure of security.
All of us, from top leadership down to
the most obscure rank and file member must
remember that we are first of all workers,
united in a common bond for the purpose
of maintaining our organization and bargain
ing collectively. We must all set aside our
personal feelings during this crisis and re-
member, that if we lose, we lose together and
our loss will not be the loss of the few, but
of all.

TUG Anniversary

In marking its 10th anniversary this
week. the Toledo Industrial Union Coun-
Gil is fully aware of the significance OF
the era through which it has passed and
alive to the challenge of the future which
lies before it.
Beginning in what was known as the
recession period of 1887, the new Organi-
cation has passed through experiences in
10 years which older unions did not face
even in so years.
Preparation for war, the war itself,
the coming of the atomic age, final steps
to complete the organization OF the ma
tions workers, recOnversiOn, production
and collective bargaining problems pecu-,
liar to the postwar period, the nationa%
political reaction to throw off war con-
trolls and the repressive legislation now
facing labor, express in few words
chain of events which, prior to this time
would have required many decades to ac-
complish.
And in passing through an era, the
CIO in Toledo has risen to the challenge,
achieved its temporary Objectives, and
gone forward in gaining the respect or an
increasingly larger number of fair-mind-
ed people by its contribution to COM
munity progress, and its acceptance of
the responsibilities which its position
gives it.
In observing its first decade of exist
ance, the Toledo CIO Council, the first
organized in the United States, recOg-
nizes the great tasks which lie before it.
Possessing both the vigor of youth
full organization and the experience of
one older, ii faces its future with con-
fidence brought about by its successes of
the past.
CIO in Toledo is firmly entrenched as
a community asset. 1t will continue in the
future, as it has in the past, to make its
contribution to the welfare and prosper
ity of Toledo, and in the doing retain its
position as a full partner in the life and
activities of this city.

Melvin Schultz
Local II, UAW-CIO
President,

well-rounded summer program is being
planned for the membership of Local No. II
for this year. This program will include two
local-wide golf tournaments if all present
arrangements can be completed.
The first proposed tournament will be held
about the middle of June and the second about
the middle of August. wide variety of prizes
and a picnic lunch are to be distributed to
everyone who participates through the issuance
of tickets so that no one will have come to the
tournament without having received his op-
portunity to participate in the picnic lunch.
A softball league which, from all appear
ances, will be larger than ever before is also
being planned. Teams in the Local IL Softball
League must be sponsored by one or more
of the Units of Local No. IL. However, teams
from other CIO affiliates, who are not suf-
ficiently large to form a league, may play
with the Local No. IL League upon meeting
the requirements of the League.
LEAGUES
An attempt will be made this year to
organize a Tennis League, Badminton, and
Volley Ball. We are also still hopeful of get
ting the casting group started and function
ing with series of contests being held under
the sponsorship of Local No. IL.
1t is our desire to have a baseball team
entered in the City Federation, as well as
to help in the formation of a Region 2-B
Baseball League.
The Local No. IL Recreational Director
should be contacted by anyone seeking any
information relative to these activities and I
would like to add, at this time, that now is
the time to start your Unit to actively plan
for its participation in such of these activities
as your members desire.
The banquet for all Local No. IL athletes
which has been discussed quite often, is now
in more definite stage and those participat-
ing in the activities will no doubt be the
recipients of banquet sponsored solely for
them during the coming season.
Should it happen that the legislation which
Is now pending before Congress should be
passed and the labor movement be set back
for many years, all of us would suffer, not
only from the immediate effects of the legisla-
ton, but from the thought that had we united
ourselves strongly to oppose the reactionaries,
we might have preserved our position. Unity
must be the watchword If we are to save our
selves
