responsibility to do so, call spe-
cial session of the General Assem-
bly, on November 10 in order to
submit to it the legislation for
putting these reductions into effect
on the date of its passage"
MIR. McKeldin charged that ION
the sales tax alone. he (Gov.
Lane) is collecting more than
$40 million above his estimate Of
receipts and needs from that
source"
Tax Figured in Primary Battle.
The 2 per cent sales tax en-
acted in 1947 figured prominently
in the primary battle between
Gov. Lane and George P. Mahoney,
and has been discussed heatedly
at every legislative session since
1947.
In the 1949 session, the exemp-
tion from the tax was raised from
10 to IA cents. Food purchased
for home consumption always has
been exempt, but the tax is paid
II it Is to be eaten in restaurants.
The annual return is about $27
million. The proposed exemptions
are estimated to reduce that by
about 81 million.
The Republican state platform.
adopted two days before the Dem
ocratic platform, calls for the
same sales tax reductions. The
Republicans went further and
spoke out for eventual elimina-
ton Of the tax.
The Republican nominee ac-
eused Gov. Lane Of making in
accurate statements about Balti-
more City finances when he CMr.
McKeldin) was mayor.
Misstatement Is Charged.
He said that in recent weeks the
Governor had charged the City of
Baltimore was bankrupt at the
time the Republican nominee was
mayor.
This is a deliberate misstate-
ment of fact" Mr.. McKeldin said.
THE city's financial position was
50 solid that its bonds were
marketed at the lowest rate in the
history of the city. The city's as
sets exceeded it's liabilities by more
than $3.50 million an increase of
over $14 million from the time I
took Office"
Mr.. McKeldin also said he had
held the $4,500O00 annual yield
from the automobile titling tax
was not needed for road purposes
and that 1t should be returned
to general State funds.
Whereupon, he added, the Gov
ernor accused him Of wanting to
divert road funds and use them
for other purposes.
Mr.. McKeldin said Gov. Lane
failed to say that the Republican
nominee proposed that the titling
tax go into the incentive funds for
school construction.
The former mayor said:
Instead of Mr.. Lane talking
wildly about diversion of road
funds, would like him to answer
two question: First, why should
the titling tax be kept for roads
beyond any estimated needs?
Secondly, why does Mr.. Lane OBJ
ject to additions to the incentive
funds for school construction
without additional taxation?"s

Railway Historical Society.
Old 766, turned over to the
society by Capital Transit. will
become its meeting house with first
session scheduled yet this month.
Last Friday, the "Tractioneers."
a closely related group devoted to
streetcar memorabilia, climbed
aboard for their monthly meeting.
The two to three dozen organ
lied streetcar admirers in Wash
ington, most of whom are members
Of both the Historical Society and
the "Tractioneers," plan to make
No. 766 a center of their activity
from now on. Besides meeting
there monthly they will use it
for their four or five annual ex-
cursions, the next to take place
next Sunday.
Members hope eventually to
make the car part of a Wash
ington streetcar museum, the
plans for which are now being
laid. The show place would be
similar to four other enterprises
in the country, where period mod
els are preserved and operated on
miniature street railway systems.
Having streetcars as a hobby has
drawn men together from many
walks of life in Washington, in

tired streetcar conductors and a

Mr.. Kings field is Washington,
and his aim is to obtain a picture
of every type of car that ever
carried a passenger in the Dis
trict. The number is astonishingly
large, he reported. He has filled
six cabinet drawers full of pic
lures after many years of search
ing, he said, yet he feels he is not
yet within sight of his goal.
A pet project Mr.. King has set
for himself is to track down 40
cars sold in 1901 by the Washing
tion and Electric Co., which lost
the records of the transaction.

Eugen WeiSz, professor of paint

Library through April IA. The
library will be closed during the
Easter recess. April 7, and g.,
but is open all other days. in
Guiding Sundays.
An exhibition of Mr.. Weisz
work at the University is particu-
larly fitting in view of the 9-year-
old cooperative plan of George
Washington and the Corcoran
School. Students who wish to Sc
cure degrees with fine arts as
their major subject, receive their
academic instruction at the uni
verSity and their creative work at
the Corcoran School.
Mr.. Weisz is showing 81 works
representing many media: Oil,
watercolor. pastel. lithography
and drawing. Five are new, and
shown for the first time. The
others have been seen before in
group shows and in his one-man
at the Arts Club last spring.
Portraits in oil, pastel and
charcoal, still life, flowers, indus
trial subjects. urban scenes and
landscapes demonstrate Mr..
Weisz' versatility in choice of
theme. He also likes to depict
a scene in different seasons, un-
der varying skies, as a composer
would handle a musical motif in
variations. He has done this with
a quiet stretch of country around
his home near Falls Church, Va.
