The personal exemption credit for
"a single person is S83.33 per month
or $1,000 per year. If they have
been residents for only a part of
the year they should compute their
personal exemption credit in multi
pies of 1888. If their income ex-
ceeds this credit they are required
to pay tax. The credit for a mar
rled person is twice that of a single
person. Their liability is computed
IN the same way as for a single
person. Credit for dependents is
at the rate of $500 per
month. For taxpayers who have
been residents for the full wear
the credit is 100000 if single or
100000 for husband and wife, and
$500 for each dependent under 10.

fused on moral and religious
grounds and said they would not
buy their jobs by complying with
a law in which they did not be-
lieve.
They and a scattering of others
who did not sign have remained
at their desks, the State refusing
to move against them until Judge
Sherbow had ruled on the test
case.
The Ober law was largely the
result of a personal campaign by
State Senator Wilmer c. Carter
of Baltimore. At a service club
luncheon one day he heard an
FBI agent talk about subversive
activities in the United States. He
was fired with a determination to
fight communism.
At a special session of the Gen.
eral Assembly, called for another
purpose, he introduced resolu-
ton for an investigation of sub
versive activities in Maryland.
Mr.. Ober was named to head
the inquiry. His group focused its
attention on laws and techniques
other governments had used to
check subversives. Then it drew
up it's own formula.
Judge Sherbow invalidated the
whole law.
He found illegal an after
thought action by which it was
made emergency legislation.
Proponents took this step in an
effort to avoid a delay for a
State wide referendum on the
law. Under the State constitu-
ton it could not otherwise have
become effective Immediately If
10000 petitioners asked for the
referendum. Opponents got the
signatures before the June dead
line, requiring the law to be
voted upon at the next general
election.

Czech Church Defies
Regime, Consecrates
Two New Bishops
BY the Associated Press

TRNAVA, Czechoslovakia, Aug.
15.-The Roman Catholic Church
defied an order by Czechoslovakia s
and consecrated two
new bishops yesterday.
The government order prohibits
such ceremonies unless prior gov
approval is obtained. It
also prohibits pilgrimages to the
ceremonies. A large crowd at
tended, however, despite a govern
ment transport blockade.
The government claims, under
an unofficial agreement made be-
fore the war, the right to reject
or approve a candidate for bishop
proposed by the Vatican. Diplo-
matte representatives OF the Vati-
can explained this was circum-
vented by making the two church.
men titular bishops of dioceses
outside Czechoslovakia, rather
than bishops in residence.
Expressed Loyalty to Beran.
The new bishops are Msgr. Am
brosius Lark, apostolic admin
istrator to Trnava, who was named
titular bishop of Appia. and Msgr.
Robert Pobozny, capitular vicar
of Roznava, made titular bishop
of Neila. Archbishop Josef Ma
tocha of Olomouc, Moravia, offl-
ciated.
Both new bishops have ex-
pressed their loyalty to Archbishop
Josef Beran, the nations primate,
who has led the fight against
government control Of the church.
The transport blockade cut the
attendance at the ceremony to
half of the expected numbers.
Pilgrims found Bratisvala, on their
jorney to Trnava, bottleneck.
Railway agents advised travellers
there would be no trains stopping
in Trnava yesterday because OF
technical reasons" Sunday bus
service to this city was eliminated.
Bratislava taxi drivers refused to
take passengers to Trnava.
5000 Persons Jam Church.
Despite these restrictions, 5000
persons jammed into St. Nicholas
Church to witness the ceremonies
and another 5000 stood outside.
Most of them were residents OF
Trnava. No uniformed police were
visible.
All Czech and Slovak bishops
were present except the nations
primate, Archbishop Josef Beran,
who has led the months-long fight
against government control OF the
church. He remained in seclusion
at his photographed palace In
Prague.
Because Of the church-state
fight, many Czech and Slovak
Catholics had been apprehensive
of state interference with the
ceremonies. Church officials said
they had expected at least double
