Takes Up Problem
OF School Finances
By J. B. Zotmon
a. RA.xk

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 4.-The Gen.
eral Assembly today turned to an.
other knotty problem - schoo
finances-after depositing the State
income tax bill on Gov. Lanes desk
The income tax question was the
big problem until yesterday. wher
the House put its final approval or
an act freezing" the State tax or
earned income at 2 per cent
The administration backed bill
will be signed within the next few
days by Gov. Lane.
It will take immediate effect, Anc
relieve taxpayers from paying the
IA per cent rate that automatically
went into effect January l.
Brings Up School Problem.
While the House was agreeing te
technical amendments the Senate
had tackled to the income tax bill
Senator p. @. Stromberg. Democrat
Of Howard County was telling hi.
colleagues across the hall:
THE counties are faced with the
desperate problem OF how TO provide
needed new school construction"
He said the counties are already
at the point where they cannot float
new bond issues easily.
Urging the legislators to study
the problem. Senator Stromberg as
serted:
Despite the fact that we are oc-
cupied with other problems, the
question of public school buildings
and the operation Of our public
school system is the biggest problem
facing the State and the tndivid-
ual counties. I can't impress toe
deeply the seriousness Of the situa-
ton"
bad" in Bigger Counties.
He claimed the situation is bad
in the larger counties, such as Mont
gomery and Prince Georges, as well
as in the smaller ones.
Meanwhile, it was learned ne
gotiations are under way between
the State Roads Commission, Fed
eral officials and Maryland's con-
gressional delegation with a view to
obtaining Federal funds for access
roads to military installations.
The disclosure was made by
Joseph M. George, a member Of the
commission, in testifying before the
Senate Finance Committee against
q bill to allocate one-half of the
receipts from the 2 per cent motor
vehicle titling tax to the counties
and Baltimore for road improve
ment.
Refers to Patuxent Bridge.
Mr.. George, a former State Sena-
tor from Queen Anne's County
referred specifically to the proposed
Patuxent River bridge between
Charles and Calvert Counties anc
the Washington Baltimore freeway.
He said the bride would link two
Navy installations while the pro.
jected freeway would connect Wash.
ington with Fort Meade.
Committee Chairman Sothoror
said, however, he saw no chance ir
the world of getting an appropria'
ton for Maryland above that giver
to all the States"
He suggested that the District
of Columbia increase Its gasoline
tax l cent, contending that thu
lower gas tax in Washington re.
suits in a $3,500,0 600 annual loss tt
the State In gasoline taxes.
Mr.. George told the committe.
that the $500, 900, 900 in bonds ant
revenues to be used In the State.
road program during the next fiv.
years will accomplish only about
one-ouarter of the needs.

Police Reassigned
las Barrett Checks
Cabbie Beating Case

Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett said
today he is making a roundabout
investigation of an incident which
prompted the reassignment of a
sergeant and a private from the
vice squad.
The two policemen are Detective
Sergt. James Roche and Pvt. Angelo
Bonaccorsy.
Maj Barret said the matter hinges
upon the reported beating of Cab
Driver James Rowell, 1854 Quincy
street. Cheverly, Md, in the early
morning of January IA.
The police report OF the assault
said the assailants were unknown.
Maj. Barrett said, however, informa-
ton supplied by a police lieutenant
that policemen were involved led
him to begin an investigation. Mr..
Rowel told The Star that he did
not think his assailants were police
men.
No Complaints, Barrett Says.
Maj. Barrett, who has been in
Florida since January 22-the day
Sergt. Roche and Pvt. Bonaccorsy
were reassigned-was asked directly
by newsmen why they were reas-
signed
Il have been told of an incident
involving these two men by a lieu
tenant" he said. Il decided the
best thing was to have these men
reassigned."
Mai. Barrett said as far as the
Police Department is concerned,
I'VE haven't even a complaint"
This man (Mr. RowelD made no
complaint to the Police Department
concerning being beaten by police
men because when he reported it
to the precinct he said he thought
they were out-of-town men," Mai.
Barrett said.
when it was called to my atten-
ton by the lieutenant, I started
looking into the matter, but GER
tainly I couldn't go into it as a
direct investigation because in such
investigations you must have a COM
planning witness and have been
going into this investigation in a
roundabout manner"
Victims Arm Broken.
Mr.. Rowell, who Is recovering at
home, said today he suffered a
broken left arm and several bruised
ribs and lost three teeth in a beat
ing inflicted by two men.
The cab driver said he stopped at
Thomas Circle between 4 am. and
S am, happened to notice two men
hitting a smaller man and then
went into q drugstore to get head
ache tables. When he came out of
the drugstore. he said, the two men
accused him of having called the
second police precinct After that,
he related, they beat him up.
Mr.. Rowell said he did not know
who his assailants were, but thought
they came from out of town. He
said their car was dirty and looked
as though it had done a lot of trav-
cling. Clothing, he said, was hang
ing in the back Of the car.
Mr.. Rowell said he has not talked
to police about the case since the
morning of the beating, when he
was interviewed by them in the
emergency room Of Garfield Hos
pital.
Explains Transfer.
In discussing the reassignment of
Sergt. Roche and Pvt. Bonaccorsy,
Maj. Barrett pointed out that they
had not been transferred but had
returned to their original details.

Johnston's S Bill on Retirements
7oPernnit Full Annuity Benefits
By Joseph YOUNG

Chairman Johnston of the Senate Civil Committee
expected to introduce within the day beralze
the survvorsip insurance features
ment system
Representative Miller Democrat of California
Evening star., 1949-02-04

the Is per cent annuity increase and
the suYvivorship annuities' feature
for their wives when last years lib
eralized retirement bill was enacted.
Consequently, some of the an
nuitants are forced to pass up the
increase, while others must accept
it reluctantly because of their finan-
cial plight and must waive survivor
ship annuity rights for their wives.
The Johnston and Miller bills
would take care Of all these in
equities and permit all annuitants,
present and future, to retain full
annuity benefits, plus the all sur
vivorship benefits for their wives.
PAY-President Truman, in some
recent private conversations with
visitors, has shown his GOODNESS to-
ward a general Federal pay raise.
On the other hand. the President
was emphatic in voicing his support
of top-bracket Federal pay legisla-
ton and $3.50 pay raises for District
government employees. These pay
boosts are considered to be virtually
certain of enactment by Congress
within the next few months at the
latest.
MORE SPEED - The United
States Employees Compensation
Board Is working with the Federal
Personnel Council on plans to speed
up compensation payments to Gov
ernment employees who are injured
on the job.
The object is to work out a system
whereby an injured employe will
begin receiving compensation bene-
fits as soon as possible The present
system sometimes results IN con-
siderable delays before payments
are made to the employe, who,
meanwhile, has no source of income.

James M. Mitchell as the Repub-
lican member of the Civil Service
