Democrat
Convention Ends
In Cumberland
Preston Is Elected;
Big Role Expected
In National Farley
BY the Associated Press

CUMBERLAND, Md. Nov. IA
The Young Democrats of Mary
land, fully organized after their
first postwar convention, looked
forward today to taking big part
in the national convention Of
Young Democrats starting Thurs
day at Chattanooga. Tenn.
Leroy w. Preston of Baltimore,
newly elected State president, will
head the delegation.
The three-day State meeting
ended on a harmonious note here
yesterday after threatening con-
ficts were either by-passed or dis
persed in caucuses.
One rough spot was smoothed
over by Mr.. Preston when he told
the delegates he will resign from
the vice Craftsmanship of the State
Central Committee.
Urged to Stay in Post
Much of the opposition to his
election-and this opposition was
minor-came from persons who
said they feared he might be OBJ
ligated by action of the Central
Committee. Mr.. Preston said he
was quitting his post on the Gen.
trail Committee to free him from
any such suspicion.
After his statement and other
remarks explaining his political
philosophers" several delegates
rose to urge him to remain on the
committee, now that he had made
his stand clear.
The other bone of contention
concerned a number of resolu-
tons acted on by the Resolutions
Committee. These resolutions in
volved about every political sub
ject from urging repeal of the
Taft Hartley Act to praise for
President Truman and Gov. Lane.
The Resolutions Committee
tabled all unfavorably except the
one praising the Federal and
State heads. The committee held
it would put the convention on
record as favoring a definite po-
litical stand. which the consti-
tuition forbids before an election
Report Is Voted Down.
But the delegates voted down
the committees report which
brought the resolutions out on
the floor. When yesterdays SEES
sion convened, the resolutions
were referred to the Executive
Committee with power to act.
At no time during the conven-
ton was next springs primary
mentioned on the floor in respect
to possible candidates. Apparently
great pains had been taken to keep
the business free from s'politjck-
ing" ~.
The delegates adopted consti-
tuition. A new point in its bylaws
restricts membership to 18 to 40
years old and specifies that mem
bers SO or older cannot hold Office.
Delegates to the national con-
vention at Chattanooga include
Mr.. Preston; John j. Appel, jr.,
College Park; j. Tyson Lee, Fred
erick , County; Richard Wisda,
Montgomery County; William
Neale Roache, Montgomery Coun-
ty; Mr.. and Mrs. Edward D. Storm,
Frederick County, and Martha
Ravens, Montgomery County.

Martinsburg Mayor
Urges Cut in City Help
To End Large Deficit
speeiaI DISPATCH 10 The s,ur

MART1NSBURG. w. Va, Nov.
14.-Martinsburg operated $20,-
491 80 in the red during the fiscal
year which ended last June 80 and
now is being run at a deficit of
SO 900 per month, Mayor Roy H.
Stotler has informed the City
Council.
Mayor Stotler, who recently
succeeded the late Mayor Carl l..
Wellinger, presented a letter from
State Tax Commissioner c. H.
Koontz advising the city that it
must straighten out its financial
operations and bring expenditures
within the budget.
Mr.. Stotler made recommended
tions for cutting the payroll to
save $42,940.18 by next June 80.
but after a heated discussion the
council voted unanimously to- de-
fer action on the, recommended
tons until after the West iVir-
GINA Supreme Court of Appeals
has ruled on the validity of Mar
tinsburg's gross sales tax.
Employees Doubled.
+ The Mayor said there were 81
employees on the city payroll in
s1946 and now there are "a. a
so per cent increase. These en-
ployes dc not include any of those
working on the water-sewer con-
struction program.
The Mayor urged that the job

men and four water men be fur
Laughed. This is a total of 10.
The furloughs were proposed to
be effective November 80.
The position of chief of police
was created recently. In recon-
mending that it be abolished
Mayor Stotler emphasized that
it was not to be construed as a
personal move against Chief
Charles E. Sullivan. He praised
the chief as efficient and capable.
City Attorney Whiting C. Faux
ner said that if the constitutional
ity of the gross sales tax is upheld
by the State Supreme Court there
will be more than enough money"
Mayor Disputes Statement.
Mr.. Faulkner added that these
recommendations are fundamen-
tally the issue of whether we
should have the gross sales tax
and I cannot see these employees
with families turned out in the
cold of winter just before Christ
mas. If these men are turned out
then Whiting C. Faulkner should
be turned out as city attorney"
Mayor Stotler replied by say
ing, Mr.. Faulkner, I went over
this entire matter with you dur
ing the past week and what you
are saying now is not what you
told me earlier when you agreed
that we must economic. I don't
understand your present attitude. y
The Mayor estimated that the
deficit for two years will amount
to nearly 100000 by next June 80
unless something is done.
I'VE now have a payroll of
$4,000 a year caused by the
additional 80 employed plus the
20 per cent wage increase already
granted. Our general fund in
come will amount to between
$235, 900 and $4,000. After pay
ing other necessary fixed costs,
such as $500 in water rent. there
lis not enough money to go
around" he said,
