Harry CULLEN Lets
Blasts Loose At Dems

citizens to return to the business
like methods of previous Republi-
can administrations.
The present program exceeded
the states needs by taking more
than five million dollars in excess
taxes in the first year of operation
of the gross income" tax law.
This excess cash balance together
with the rs million dollars cash
balance on hand when the Demo-
Gratis took Office has now reached
a total of 1875 million dollars avail
able for state purposes. Taxes can
now be cut to this extent for the
next biennium.
The S5,000,OOO excess represents
the difference between the burden
some gross income tax laws and
the net income tax which it re-
placed. Said otherwise. five mil
lion dollars was collected unneces-
sarily under the highest state tax
schedule in the nation, whereas
the net income schedules taxed
Delaware citizens lighter than any
other state.
Currently, promises are being
made by the Democrats to reduce
their high taxes. AS result of
Republican foresight provision was
made in the gross income tax law
for it's expiration at midnight De-
cember 81, 1850, and at the same
time provision was made for the
revival of the net income tax law
from then on. In other words, the
net income tax law is merely in
state of suspension until Janu-
airy /, 1861.
Indisputably, the current oper-
ating receipts show the results of
one years business to have I'M
necessarily accumulated $5,0OO,0OO
of taxes or for the two years this
unjUstifiable law will produce
$1O,O0O,0O0 of exces STAKES. Unjus-
tifiable because the cash balance
on hand July 1, 1949 with the re-
ceipts under the net income law,
gas and cigarette tax laws would
have been sufficient to meet the
states expenses on the increased
base demanded by the Governor.
1t seems crystal clear that the
income tax increases were neither
necessary nor justitiable and
equally clear that promises to re-
duce taxes are useless since the
tax law provides for reduction by
return to the net income tax law.
Now, let's review the long term
debt saddled upon the state by the
present administration. Here, too,
the largest per capita state debt in
the nation resulted from the ad-
ministratiOn's effort.
The present administration must
take the blame for the increase

Decision Is Scheduled
For Thursday on Plan
To Unity Fund Drives

From Yesterdays Later EdttionS.) J
A citizens committee voted to-
day to decide next Thursday
whether a one-package charity
drive will be launched here this
year.
The group, meeting at the Riggs
National Bank Building. was told
that regardless of it's action, the
Defense Department. and prob
ably other Government agencies,
will restrict future fund cam
paigning.
The committee also was warned
that the Community Chest Fed
Grafton must know before the end
of this month whether there will
be a united drive. plans for the
regular fall Chest drive have been
held up pending a decision on the
merger proposal, spokesmen ex-
planned.
Hugh K. Dufheld, chairman of
the Chest drive, said the Chest
would welcome the suggested
merger. If the merger plan is de-
ferred. he suggested. business
firms still may be invited to form
their own one-package plans for
operation during the Chest drive,
on an individual basis.
Sentiment at today's meeting
was almost unanimously in favor
of adopting the united drive plan
Immediately.
, A plea for a showdown in the
merger move came, however, from
the Washington Heart Association,
which has proposed COM
promise" plan for a drive uniting
national health organizations here.
In lengthy letter. DR.. Bernard
j. Walsh. the Heart Associations
president, charged that there had
been Surprisingly little frank and
free discussion of the pros and
cons of either point of view"
Attempts of merger proponents
to bring about a quick decision,
DR.. Walsh asserted, have forced
the cons to look with some sus-
picion" on their assumption of
rightness, and to refuse to dis
cuss a matter so presented that
| they would be put in defensive
position"
+, Urging serious. full, and free
discussion" the Heart Association
head said that perhaps a smaller
! committee than the 30-member
group set up on the merger pro-
poSal is needed to find an 'ulti-
mate solution that will be good
for all elements concerned"
The warning about Defense
%Department restrictions on future
fund drivers came from w. Elliot
Nef1en, aide to Secretary john
son. A spokesman for the Civil
Service Commission said the three
commissioners are "solidly" be-
hind a single drive. and DR.. Henry
Frank Hubbard of the Federal
Personnel Council, said it is
> virtually assured that most
Government Offices will follow the
Defense establishments lead.

Widow in.Moy-December Case
Wins Step in Fight for Estate
Appeals Court Scraps
Hebditch Separation
Pact os Unjust
BY the Associoied Press

ANNAPOLIS. June 16.-The
pretty young widow in a DecembeI
and May romance has won the
first test in a legal spat over her
rich husbands estate.
The Court of Appeals scrapped
a separation agreement by which
20-year-old Louise Hebditch Ian.
guis would have lost almost every
claim to the wealth of her late
husband. John C. Hebditch o1
Havre de Grace. She has re-
married.
Unjust and inequitable, the
court said yesterday of the pact
signed two months before Mr
Hebditch died at 70 in the spring
Iof 1949.
Mr.. Hebditch conceived it to
bargain and pay for a divorce on
the lnstalment plan, Judge
Charles Markell said for the
unanimous court.
Case Sent Back to County.
The six appellate judges sent
the case back to Hartford County
Circuit Court for trial without
ruling on three trusts whereby Mr. /.
Hebditch tied up most of the stock
in his bottling works and real
estate business.
Lawyers for his widow esti-
mated he at least was worth more
than 100000, and she was en-
titled to something over 100000
as the one-third share of her hus-
bands estate.
Mr.. Hebditch, who ran the two
businesses and owned farms in
Maryland, Virginia and Florida,
married Louise Andrews on jan
uary IA, 1948.
She was living with her parents

Charles County Finally Acquires
More Residents Than in 1870

For the first time in 100 years
Charles County, Md, can boast
more residents-2,750 more-than
were reported in it's first census of
1890.
Preliminary 1850 census figures
show 23,363 persons now living in
the county. In 1890 there were
20,615. the record until this year.
The latest count of heads marks
an approximate 80 per cent popu-
lation growth since 1910, or an in
crease of 5.751 persons.
In 1890 the large population was
due to tobacco traffic at Port To-
bacco. which long ago ceased to
bristle with ocean-bound ships.
Today's growth is due largely
to the Naval Powder Factory at
Indian Head. according to Ever
ard D. Briscoe. district census
supervisor at Annapolis. Mr.. Bris-
coe pointed out there is a housing
