Bond Issue Urged 10 Build
Arlington Recreation Units

A bond issue to finance capital
improvements under proposed
recreation program for Arlington
was suggested last night by the rec
reational division of the County
Community Council.
The group, made up Of represen-
tatives of AZ Arlington civic, service
and business organizations, did not
set any figure for the cost of the
proposed capital needs, but listed
them as public swimming pools,
tennis courts and a multiple pur-
pose stadium.
The division also recommended
establishment OF a county depart
ment OF. recreation and public parks
which would take over functions
now under the school and county
planning boards. A budget for next
year of $4,000 was suggested for
the proposed department. Another
recommendation was that county
recreation board be created to re-
place the present recreation council.
The meeting was held in the COM
munity councils headquarters, 3159

Margarine Taxes

Repeal of all taxes on oleomarg-
arine was advocated last night by
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton at a meeting in the Be-
thesda Elementary School.
o. w. Anderson of the Montgom-
cry County Farm Bureau, opposed
the resolution which was made by
Henry Smelling of Chevy Chase as
an emergency measure. The matter
is now being considered by the
House Agriculture Committee.
Mr.. Anderson claimed that repeal
of the taxes would be direct slap
at the county's main industry, dairy
farming. while we don'tSneed this
at the present,a he said,
"the time Wifiik come. when we; 40
and we want to know II Is there.p
He said he wouldn't be opposed to
repeal of the tax if margarine manu-
facturers were restrained from the
use of yellow coloring. Let them
color 1t pink or black but keep away
from yellow that belongs to butter,,ao
he declared. ~
as' Rent Control Extension Asked. :.
Extension of rent control was re-
quested after an emergency report by
Harold Wirth, chairman of the spe-
cial Housing Committee. The vote
was SO to 16. James A. Cosgrove,
Of Chevy Chase, and Einar B. Chris
tenson, of the Silver Spring Board
of Trade, opposed Mr.. Wirths reso-
luton on the ground that the Rent
Control Act is unconstitutional.
Maryland's Representatives in
Congress were asked to work for re-
instatement in the independent
Offices appropriation bill for 1949 OF
81 ,494,0 900 for the acquisition OF
public park lands in Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties under
the Capper- Champion Act. Blair
Lee, of the Silver Spring Board of
Trade, introduced the resolution as
an emergency measure.
Beetle Campaign Supported.
The federation pledged its support
to a comprehensive program de-
signed to wipe out the Japanese
beetle as a major menace to plant
life in Montgomery County.
In a report on housing conditions
In the county, Mr.. Wirth stated that
4,539 units valued at s31 ,533, 284 were
completed during 1947, an increase
of "a per cent in units and 154 per
cent in value over 1916. He predicted
an equal amount of construction
during 1913, pointing out that there
is still a great demand for housing,
particularly rental housing, in the
county. Twelve thousand additional
units will be needed within the next
five years, he said.

BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Feb. l0.-In the first
major test of strength of the l94s
General Assembly, Democratic or
ganization forces passed five of Gov.
Tuck's six tax bills in the House Of
Delegates yesterday by overwhelm-
ing majorities.
T Floor Leader E. Blackburn Moore
Of Berryville piloted the program
through a weller of debate and
safely past the minor shoals of sales
tax sentiment and reducing amend
ments.
Tax bills passed by the House
would raise corporation income from
3 to 5 per cent for an estimated
additional S4,694,4l annually, in

sales above $4,000 instead of IS
cents for an additional $1.180, 458;
increase recordation taxes on land
deeds to Is cents hundred instead
of IL cents for an additional 1924. S44
and step up beer taxes to 2 cents q
12-ounce bottle in place of the pres
ent IL and $40 barrel instead Of
$2.75 for an additional $1,785,096.
One Bill Under Study.
The other tax bill proposed by the
Governor-that increasing by one
half of l per cent the gross receipts
tax on public service corporations
is still in the hands of subcom-
mittee and was not before the House
Yesterday. The Governor estimated
it would bring in $l,863,3l1 at the
rate Of present business.
The vote boosting the income tax
rates was SO to Is and that lifting
the merchants tax rates SO to II.
The other three bills were passed
unanimously.
While the tax debate was the days
big show in the Legislature both
House and Senate whipped through
fairly lengthy calendars and re-
cevied several proposals on I'M
portant new legislation.
And Democratic members of the
Assembly set II am. today as the
time for a caucus to nominate can
didates for Attorney General and
for the vacancy on the bench of
Richmond Circuit Court.
Spiers Still in Race.
The organization was reported
lined up strongly behind Represent
alive j. Lindsay Almond, Roanoke,
for the Attorney Generals post, but
former Delegate John B. Spiers,
Badford another candidate, said he
was still in the race for the position
left vacant by the death of Harvey
B. Apperson. aasss2 "a s1.sss
1 In the ajorn legislation category
was bill introduced in the Senate
calling for biennial appropriation
of $5,879, 900 from the general fund
to extend the Virginia retirement
system. Senators Charles T. Moses,
| Appomattox; Edward T.. Breeder,
]jr., Norfolk, and Robert C.. Walden,

ton to the $8,525,916 recommended
in the budget for the addition of
new features. The provisions of the
bill would apply to teachers and

Curbs on Anchorinq
In Annapolis Harbor
Tentatively Approved
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-Restric-
lions on anchoring small boats in
Annapolis harbor won tentative
approval yesterday from 1t. Col
E. Campbell of the Army .engi-
DoI canpbeli said, however, he
wanted to have any objections OF
the city of Annapolis before he
would make recommendations.
~ The restrictions will apply to five
|areas named 1fa tn Nays applica-
ton. They mean only that anchors
ing is forbidden except In case 81
emergency. They make no restric-
tons on navigation itself.
The Nays reasons for asking
the restrictions were explained by
Comdr. Donald I. Thomas. They in
include protection for seaplanes
training midshipmen, for cable and
pipeline installations, the small boat
drill area and for citizens using
Carr Greek, in the vicinity of the
rifle range.
The original request for the re-
strictions was supplemented by the
offer OF a 100-yard area southwest
Of the Nays small boat anchorage
for civilian use.
At the suggestion of Gilbert H.
Moore, executive secretary of the
Commercial Watermen's Associa-
ton, the rights of crabbers and
oystermen will be protected in the
regulations.
The Tidewater Fisheries Depart
ment also read into the record its
request to retain its jurisdiction over
six oyster bars in the restricted
areas. oysters are taken from these
bars for planting elsewhere.
Col. Campbell said he believed
the Annapolis groups could get to-
gether and decide what anchorage
areas they wanted and a hearing
on the proposals will be held later
