Mahoney Endorsement
PIeases and Anglers
Western Democrats
BY Alex R. Preston

Stor S1off correspondent
CUMBERLAND, Md, Nov. l.
Endorsement of Gov. Lane by his
former opponent. George P. Ma
honey, today brought reaction
from Western Maryland Demo-
Gratis ranging all the way from
approval to violent condemnation.
Most of the Republicans who
have toured Allegany and Garrett
Counties with the COP candidate
for Governor, Theodore r. Nickel
din, conceded that Mr.. Mahoney's
action would cost them some
votes, but none took a defeatist
attitude. Mr.. McKeldin, himself
greeted the news with a simple
No comment"
Mr.. Mahoney, who won in popu-
lar votes but lost to Gov. Lane
under the unit system in the Au-
gust Democratic primary. publicly
backed the Governor for re-elec-
ton in harmony rally in Balti-
more on Monday.
Gov. Lane resigned as Demo-
cratic national committeeman and
Chairman Robert B. Ennis of the
Baltimore State Central Commit
tee started a move Immediately to
get Mr.. Mahoney named to The
vacancy.
Hit as "Dirty Politics"
Its a damned dirty piece OF
politics" said William Browning
or Oakland. a leader in the Ma
honey drive in Garrett County

to put Mr.. Mahoney across-a loi

ships IN small towns like this, anc
now this happens.
You can be sure of one thing
MY vote and those of my friends
are going to McKeldin."
Mr.. Browning, a cattle dealer
and his wife said they were
shocked by the news of the Ma
honey Endorsement. They knew
nothing about it until informed
by reporters.
Mr.. Browning said Mr.. Maho-
ney had let his friends down. He
compared the situation to the
election campaign four years ago
when J. Millard Tawes opposed
Mr.. Lane. then seeking his first
term.
Mr.. Tawes was defeated in the
primary and Mr.. Lane went on
to defeat Mr.. McKeldin in the
1946 election. Subsequently, how
ever, Gov. Lane appointed Mr..
HaWes to State Racing Commits
sion and then to the Office of Con-
troller to succeed the late James
J. Lacy.
Hammil Impressed.
Another Democratic supporter
of Mr.. Mahoney had a different
reaction to the latest Lane-Maho-
ney tie-up. Stuart Hammil. jr.,
Oakland lawyer, said he was i'm
pressed with the sincerity" of
Mr.. Mahoney's statement and
would vote for Gov. Lane.
Mr.. Hammil, who managed the
Mahoney campaign in the county,
conceded, however. that a num-
ber of voters in his faction now
would swing over to Mr.. Nc
Keldin in the voting next Tues
day.
Garrett County Democrats vot-
ed, 858 to 805, to nominate Gov.
Lane but a subsequent recount
reduced the governors majority
to only six votes.
Michael F. Prendergast. Cum
berland newspaper publisher. who
was leader in the Mahoney cam
paign in Allegany County, said he
felt there was nothing else for Mr..
Mahoney to do.

.ood|ey Estate
Rezoning Plea
Hit by Residents
Plan for Apartments
On Historic Property
Strongly Opposed

Strong opposition to proposed
rezoning of part Of the historic
Woodley estate for apartment
buildings was registered before
the District Zoning Commission
today.
The proposal calls for rezoning
of about II acres on the west side
of TWenty-n ninth street between
Cleveland and Cathedral avenues.
Residents of the exclusive resi-
dental area expressed fear the
move would depress property
values. detract from the resi-
Dental character of the neigh
borhood and result in added traf-
flc congestion.
Among those appearing in op-
position was Paul M. Herzog,
of the National Labor
Relations Board. who lives at 310l
Garfield street NV.
Grant Sees Threat to Site.
Property values would go down,
he declared, because many of us
who reside in the area would no
longer find it desirable area to
reside in
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, U. S.
A., retired, appeared for the Ma
tional Council on Historical Sites
and Buildings. to warn against
the potential threat to preserva-
ton of the historical value of
Woodley. former home of the late
Henry L. Stimson.
Attorney James c. Wilkes, rep
resenting the present owners of
the property; Edward c. Baltz,
president of the Perpetual Build
ing Association: Thornton w.
Owen, real estate man, and Ned
Bord of the Randall Hagner g.
Co. real estate firm, pointed out
the proposed development would
be a de luxe type with careful
consideration for appearance.
Street Connection Needed.
Mr.. Wilkes said he believed the
plan, which involves utilization of
a little less than II acres of the
more than 17-acre tract would
provide decent project for that
neighborhood.
He pointed out that a 140-foot
depth on Cleveland avenue would
be stricted to single family dwell
ings as a protection to Massachu-
setts avenue park, and that the
northeast corner of the tract also
would be reserved.
AS to the fear of additional traf-
fic congestion, he said the Dis
trict Surveyor in the Highway
Department feels there is a need
in any case for street connec-
tion between Garfield street t0
the west and Woodley road to
the east. This. he said, would
invite additional traffic to Gar
field street.
Trees Could Be Saved.
Mr. Wilkes presented as witt
ness Edward r. Carr, builder and
first vice president of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board, who
pointed out the development of
the city has passed over the tract
since it has been preserved as
an estate.
The proposed rezoning, he said,
would merely be a continuation
OF what already exists in the area,
which is between an A restricted
zone and an apartment area.
The only logical development
OF this property for detached
houses would mean small lots and
your trees would be taken out" he
declared, adding that high-class
apartment development as pro-
posed could save practically all of
these trees.

tensive modernization and repair
of the church property at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000. In order
that the work may proceed imme-
diately funds are being loaned by

vestibules.
One of the major items in the
modernization will be the charging
of the church's kitchen, with stain
less steel sinks, steam table, re-
frigerator, additional stove and
hot water heater installed.
The plan also includes painting
of the exterior of the parsonage,
improved rest rooms in the church

tables in Owen Hall to assist in
serving meals.
This work is being done by Glenn
Gillian, general contractor, who
is a member of the church.

Mr.. Wise was honored for his
long and faithful service to Mary
land farmers at the annual ban
quot Tuesday night, when Presi-
dent Heaps presented him with a
token of appreciation from Farm
Bureau members. The banquet was
an overflow affair with excellent
entertainment, good food and a fine
dance.
Governor w. Preston Lane. Jr.,
told the farmers and their wives of
a possible decrease in the 1950-51
tax structure, saying that he ex-
pected a downward" trend in the
tax rate. DR.. H. C. Byrd spoke
briefly, giving John Worthington,
editor of the Belair Aegis, who
served as POSTMASTER, some rather
fast repartee.
All of the fourteen affiliated or
ganizations of the Farm Bureau
held sectional meetings during
which problems facing their par
ticular type of farming, were dis
cussed.
The forty-fve resolutions passed
during the closing hours of the
Convention took a very positive
stand on all of the important sub
jects facing Maryland farmers.
Throughout the Convention there
was strong opposition to the pro-
posed Brannon Plan for low food
prices for consumers, high pro-
duce prices for the farmers, with
the Government paying the differ
ence. 1t was recommended that un-
reliable displaced persons be de-
ported, and the present law be
amended to provide for a more
careful screening of persons COM
ing into this country and also re-
quire them to stay on the farm for
stipulated period of time. The
Governments antitrust suit
against the Arp. Food Chain
caused the passage Of a resolution
questioning the Justice Depart
ment's Interpretation of what does

ers believe that bigness does not
constitute a monopoly. Daylight

resolution, as farmers have been

By Moi. Thomns IA. Nioi

I don't know about all the diff
ferent State income taxes. but
do know how Uncle Sam is going
to tax the benefits his veterans
get.
The Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. decides what benefits are tax
able-not the VA. And the reve-
nue. boys have ruled that among
the types of income exempt from
Federal income tax are "all Gov
ernment payments and benefits
made to veterans and their fam
lilies, except nondisability retire
ment pay and interest on terminal
leave bonds"
That statement seems to take
care of all cases. but sometimes
it's tough to decide when a benefit
is a benefit.
Some exemptions are written
into law, as in the CT Bill. Every
thing under that is exempt, such
as subsistence for vets in training
and 52-20 payments.
All Government Life Insurance
and National Service Life Insur-
ance payoffs are exempt from
Federal income tax, though they
are subject to estate taxes.
Death payments to benef1ciaries
of commercial life insurance poll
cies are always exempt from in
come tax anyway. but payments
on commercial endowment policies
become taxable as soon as all the
money paid into the endowment is
paid back.
Not so with NSLI endowments.
They're entirely exempt, which
means that with say. q 20-year
NSLI endowment you can get pro-
lection for 20 years and build up
a 3 per cent tax-free savings fund
at the same time. But watch out:
income tax regulations might
change and make such an endow-
ment taxable.
Let's run through some other
benefits :.
VA pensions and compensation:
Exempt, whether paid to veterans
or their family. But industrial,
Civil Service and other pensions
are taxable, except Social Security
payments.
Retirement pay for service in
the armed forces: Taxable II the
retirement is for age or length of
service. Exempt If for disability.
and that's for the retirement
boards to decide. A spokesman for
Evening star., 1950-06-28
Veterans Guide

the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
told me. Whatever the retirement
board says Is good enough for US. -
However. Servicemen who were
retired for disability and then
elected to receive the greater re-
tirement pay under the Career
Compensation Act of 1949 have to
pay tax on the difference between
their old and new pay. Why? Be-
cause pay under the new act is for
general retirement and any in
crease disabled ex-servicers get is
not considered to be for disability
Terminal leave pay: For COM
missioned officers, taxable for the
first so days but exempt beyond
that. Terminal leave payments to
noncommissioned personnel under
the Armed Forces Leave Act of
1946 is exempt. However, most of
the pay for enlisted men under
this act was in the form of bonds.
The bonds are exempt. But when
they're cashed the interest they've
earned is taxable.
Active service pay: Taxable,
even if the Serviceman is duty
outside the United States. During
the war all enlisted pay and the
first $500 of officers pay was
exempt. Now Uncle Sam takes
back his cut.
Mastering out pay: Exempt.
Monthly family allowance for
Servicemen: Exempt.
Payments under the War Claims
Act: Exempt, whether to former
POWs or civilian internees.
State bonuses: Exempt.
