De|marva Group. Join,
Fight Against Wider
Baltimore Press Gag
By the Assoeioted Press

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del, Aug
7-Resistance to proposed exten-
sion to all of Maryland of Balti-
more court rules which restrict
publication of crime news drew the
support today of the Delmarva
Press Association.
President Ralph Grapperhaus of
the Delmarva News in Selbysville,
Del, announced adoption of res
olution pledging the associations
support in efforts to defeat the
adoption of rule nine"
Rule 9 of the Baltimore Supreme
Bench prohibits publication of
statements, actions and photo
graphs of defendants between the
time of their arrest and trial. The
Maryland Court of Appeals now is
considering making it applicable
to the entire State.
Glenn James, president of the
Maryland Press Association which
is opposing the rule extension, pro-
posed the resolution at the annual
summer meeting of the Delmarva
Association.
1t was passed by about so men,
bers, representing newspapers on
Maryland's Eastern Shore and low
er Delaware.
The resolution declared that
passage of the rule would consti-
tute an effort by the courts of the
State of Maryland to withhold a
true and concise account of crime
from the public"
Five Baltimore radio stations and
a news commentator now are un-
der citations of contempt for al
legged violation of the Baltimore
Court rule.
National associations of radio
stations and newspapers are ex-
pected to intervene when those
cited file answers next month,

Lane Considers
Slash in State
Income Tax
Revenue Bourd Told
To Revise Estimates
And Submit Report
sax ,be Assoe;o,ed Press

ANNAPOLIS. Aug. 7.-Gov. Lane
disclosed today he is contemplating
q reduction in the Maryland State
income tax.
The chief executive in letter
to Comptroller James J. Lacy said
what now have in mind Is direct
relief to the individual taxpayer"
The Governor wrote Mr.. Lacy to
urge that every effort be made by
the board of revenue estimates Ito
furnish as promptly as possible its
revised compilation Of estimated
revenues for the fiscal year 1949
so that immediate consideration
may be given to whatever reduction
In taxation the revised estimates
may warrant"
Surplus Report Cited.
Gov. Lane was prompted to act
by report of a surplus of $20,473.-
515.04 at the end of the fiscal year
on June 80, 194s.
"This is considerably in excess Of
the surplus 1t had been estimated
would be in the State treasury at
the close of the budgetary year." he
said.
He said he therefore was asking
the Board of Revenue Estimates
to revise its 1949 tax collection
estimates and that he would zap
preciate a report" as soon as pos
sible.
Gov. Lane in referring to the
excessive surplus said:
while a modest surplus in rev.
enue collections is desirable in the
maintenance Of a sound budget, the
State should not require Of its
citizens more than is essential to
establish a modest margin of safety
against contingencies in the eco
nomic fluctuations.
Prompt Relief Urged.
when the opportunity for tax
reduction presents itself, relief
should be given promptly. If a
reduction in taxation is found feas-
ible, I believe that the greater
measure of relief should be applied
to those in the lower income
groups"
Gov. Lane explained it Is his
purpose ito explore the possibility
OF extending such tax relief by
broadening the exemptions granted
this group in the payment Of in
come taxes and, perhaps, the elm
ination of income taxes and the
filing of returns, through broaden
ing of the exemption base for thou
sands in the lower income brackets.
The chief executive cautioned
''that the ultimate decision in this
matter can be made only after
mature and careful study Of the
tax structure"
Evening star., 1948-08-08

since the irritation this Woulo
produce is greater than the infre-
quent charge that the officer took
money from the billfold.
HE should ask the violator TO
hold the billfold while the officer
obtains the necessary informa-
ton. If this is Impractical, and
it is necessary for the officer to
hold the billfold, then, in all
cases, the officer should keep the
billfold constantly in sight and
in view of the violator."
The manual gives clues to the
detection of speeder. For ex-
ample, it points out, a motorist
can be presumed to be speeding
when his car "is obviously pull
ing away from the patrol vehicle
which is already travelling at the
legal speed"

Educators Urge
Tuck Studyo Of
School System
Special Session
Believed Aim of
Conference Plea
By the Associoted Press

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Aug.
IA conference of educators pro-
posed today that Gov. Tuck meet
with representative group of lay
and school people to discuss Vir-
ginia's education system-appar-
emily with the intention of calling
a special session of the General
Assembly.
The recommendation was made
unoff1cially at the concluding ses-
sion of a three-day conference by
300 teachers who met for a con-
ference on "the public and the pub
lie schools of Virginia" 1t was
held at Mary Washington College.
Findings Summarized.
According to a report summarize
ing findings on financial matters
read by Leroy H. Smith, the AS
sembly would be asked:
/. To pass sales tax.
2. To set up a revolving school
building fund against which local
tiles could borrow at low rate of
interest to take care of school
building needs.
Robert F. Williams, executive
secretary of the Virginia Education
Association, conference sponsor,
emphasized that the report did not
mean that the conference was Of
ficially going on record for any
thing. The recommendations rep
resented the views of only part of
those present, he said, adding that
the conference was called simply
for the purpose of effecting a two
way eduction on school problems
between laymen and schoolmen.
Policy Change Proposed.
The report proposed that an ef-
fort should be made to minimize
Federal levies SO more tax sources
could be left to the States, and that
the equalization fund should be
increased so that counties unable
to provide the proper educational
facilities be assisted.
In summarizing the suggestions
of discussion groups on schools
as they areas they should be-,
Hugh Cassell, Augusta County
school superintendent, brought in a
list OF recommendations which ran
from proposals covering bus shell
ters tor children to the need of
emphasizing public speaking in
school,.

Other matters considered In
cIude these:
On patrolling speed
"It has been found that II an
officer patrols at the legal speed
or SO close to it that it will keep
all motorists from passing him,
this will irritate all motorists In
the long lines that will develop
behind him .
IF the officer is to patrol at a
speed lower than the speed limit.
he should patrol from 5 to 10
per hour less than the speed
limit so that following trafiic can
still pass him at q legal speed.
On parking on q side street to
watch for speeders-
This practice gives officers
maximum chance of catching

State's Welfare Jobs
First on List in Tuck
'Weeding Out Order
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 7.-Vir-
ginia is planning to weed out surplus
State jobholders.
Gov. Tuck has ordered Charles j..
Duke, jr., chief of the Governors
reorganization staff, to make a sur
vey and classification" of all State
jobs. Mr.. Duke says the program
will begin with the new Department
of Welfare and will eventually cover
all State agencies.
Employees to Be Retained.
"Rejustification" has been defined
as here comes the AK" Here is
the way it will work, according to
Mr.. Duke:
Every job in department will be
abolished except those created by
specific acts of the General Assem-
bly,. Employees holding abolished po-
sitions will be retained, but on
technically temporary basis" Then
every position will have to be re-
justified to the satisfaction of the
State Personnel Director, the State
Budget Director, and the Governor.
Every job will be surveyed and every
salary reviewed.
Executive positions will be re-
viewed first to determine If there
are too many-or not enough. Then
an organization chart will be drawn
up listing all jobs. Every position
will then be reviewed.
Seeks to Avoid Hardships.
Mr.. Duke said the Governors re-
organization Office Is working "as
reasonably as possible" to avoid sud-
den hardships On State employees.
In many instances, he said employees
who are "rejustified out OF a Job"
could be placed in position to NIL
vacancies occurring in approve posi-
tions in other agencies.
Were starting from scratch Mr..
Duke said. "piecemeal reviews OF
the personnel of individual bureaus
seemed to get us nowhere.
mo State 1employe who is per-
| forming an essential service has
anything to worry about. If he is
being underpaid, the rejustif1catlon
survey will be an opportunity for
him to have his position reclassifled
into a higher salary bracket

NETS $500 FOR SWIMMING POOL

Home talent scored another hit
and netted a substantial sum for
the swimming pool project--in the
Midnight Extravaganza staged
Saturday night by the Merchants
Association in the Clinton theatre.
A capacity house of approximately
one thousand patrons applauded
the stage show and saw good
movie, with the only disappoint-
ment being that it was nearly
three o'clock in the morning when
they started home.
Oscar Heineman and his chorus
of dancing CD beauties (?) hit
the Jackpot of laughter and ap-
plause with their three numbers,
"You Made Me Love You," "When
You Wore Tulip" and "They're
Wearing EN- Higher in Hawaii"
the final act of the show.
His dancing beauties, direct from
the Union Stock Yard theatre,
were Warren McDougall, Mayor
Carl Becker, Manuel Nossaman,
Lee Bracken, Dick Wolf, Alton
Nissen, and Councilman William
Goebel. AS the talent scout tainted
after their first entrance, it is
still uncertain whether they will
get bid from Hollywood.
Other presentations, all we'll re-
ceived, were: Andy Lukac and his
accordion; Dorothy Thomas, vocal
solo, Oscar Heineman and Mate
Montgomery in a banjo duet; solo
by Tony Sgro; Catherine Kocsis
and her accordion; the quartette
consisting of Mate Montgomery,
Norb Stein, Ralph Mackey and Ed.
Starkloff; vocalist Alyce Boiling
with Joe Smith at the piano, and
Mrs. Lee Davis, who won double
encore with her xylophone.
Seven valuable attendance prizes
donated by local merchants were
awarded to Charles Gooding, Mrs.
VIM. Moon, Andy Migala, Mrs.
jim Wolf, Mrs. Nancy Scott, Mrs.
Robert Waltz and Mrs. Chester
Below.
The extravaganza was staged
under the craftsmanship of Eddie
Edwards, with Carlista Snyder di-
recting the show and George
Schade performing as master of
ceremonies.
Stan Brown, dancing instruct
or for the chorus, has been report
ed as being in hiding ever since
the show. Priscilla Rhiel, creator
of their costumes, is being food
with offers from leading design
