State Board Due 10 Gel
Maryland U. Budget
For Action Tomorrow
BY the Associoied Press

BALTIMORE, May 80. - A
$14,688,050 University of Maryland
budget for 1950-51 is expected to
go before the State Board of Pub
lie Works for approval tomorrow
The university now is planning
to spend $279.084 more than it
had figured when the budget was
presented to the legislature in
February.
Decreases in some of the items
of the earlier budget were more
than offset by some new sources
of revenue the university now ex-
poets to get.
For example, it has increased
it's estimate of income of the Col
lege of Special and Continuation
Studies by $336,000. Of this
100000 will come from the Euro
pean division of the college, which
recently expanded it's activities to
England.
The university now expects a
College Park enrolment of 1000
for the September term, instead
of the earlier estimate of $500.
This would decrease student fees
by about $4,000. ..
The budget shows the univer-
sity's building authority plans to
issue $3.4 million in self -liquidat-
ing revenue bonds to finance prof.
ects at the College Park and Bal
timore schools.
The authority was set up by the
1850 Legislature. Construction
financed by the authority will be
paid for out of special student fees
and other new sources of revenue
Among the 16 building projects
to be financed in whole or part
through the authority are Student
Union buildings in Baltimore and
College Park and a new dormitory
auditorium and fraternity and
sorority houses at College Park.

Demand for Pensions
Blamed on Initiation
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, May 80
The current demand for workers
pensions from industry is caused
by imitation due to the Govern
ment debt. representative OF
United States Steel believes.
Company pensions are becom-
ing the vogue because information
had made those private pensions
which were in effect, and public
pensions, under the Social Secur-
ity law, Inadequate" Donald l.
Ande, district manager of the
United States Steel Supply Co.
said yesterday.
"Yet there are still people who
are not alarmed when the Gov
ernment spends more dollars than
it receives" he told a joint meet
ing of the Hagerstown Lions anG
Optimist clubs.
The Governments credit is
good, they say and it can borrow
the difference. They overlook the
fact that the Government Dor.
rowing is the basic, historic cause
of imitation"
Mr.. Ande rebuked "statistically.
minded theorists both in and ou;
of Government" for trying te
create class distinction in busi-
ness.
"One of the most dangerous de.
ceptions which has been practicec
upon us is the fallacy that ou,
whole economy can be divided
into two parts labeled big anc
little business" he said.
In United States Steel's case, he
said. 10000 of its 10000 GUS
toners are in the so-called small
