feel that my brother should be
given this privilege and hesitate
to take his place in fear that ii
will suggest our Siding with his
wife. What is your opinion?"
Personally, I think it a pity
about the father, because he and
his former wife need not come in
contact with each other at the
ceremony. After giving his daugh-
ter away he could take his place
several rows behind his ex-wife
and when they leave the church
he could wait until she has passed
by before he leaves. However, if
your brother knows this to be i'm
possible, he surely cannot think
that your taking his place at the
ceremony means that you are
siding with his ex-wife and against
him.
Mistaken Ideo About Godporents
Dear Mrs. Post: Who is supposed
to give the clergyman the fee for
baptizing the baby? Some say this
is one of the obligations of a god
parent. If so, which godparent if
there are to be several?
Answer: Whatever is given to
the clergyman is entirely a re-
sponsibility of the baby's parents.

McKeIdin and Lane
Step Up Attacks as
Race Enters Stretch
BY the Associated Press

With general election day just
three weeks away, Maryland's
Republican and Democratic can
didates for Governor have started
to take their best roundhouse
swings at one another.
Theodore R. McKeldin, Repub-
lican candidate, said in a radio
television speech last night that
Gov. Lanes promise to call a
special session to cut the sales
tax if he is reelected was "a
brazen, coldly calculated piece of
political trickery."
Gov. Lane, at a Democratic
rally in Bel Air. criticized Mr.. Nc
Keldin's administration as Mayor
of Baltimore from 1943 to 1947..@~
Tax Diversion Charged.
1--WE gave him (McKeldin)
$1,250,000 from State racing
revenue and authority to impose
special taxes in Baltimore" Gov.
Lane said yet the tax rate in
his administration was among the
highest in the history of the city.
THE Baltimore schools were
not improved, the roads were full
of pot holes and the city's share
of gasoline taxes from the State
was diverted to purposes other
than the repair of streets.
I'm 1945, the Maryland Legis-
lature passed a resolution plead
ing with Mayor McKeldin to re-
pair Hanover street so that the
citizens could drive their auto
mobiles to the State Capitol in
Annapolis
Lane Proposal Attacked.
Mr.. McKeldin asserted that Gov.
Lanes promise to issue a special
session call November 7 was a
move that every one will recog-
nize as the last desperate
effort of candidate who :. now
senses impending defeat.
He should have said he would
do so even if defeated" the Re-
publican declared, IF he were
sincerely interested in the people
of Maryland, instead of trying to
get himself reelected"
The platforms of both parties
call for a raise in the exemption
base of the sales tax from its pres
ent ID cents to so cents. Both
urge that all foodS-wherever con-
sumed-be exempt from the per
cent tax, as well as soaps and soap
powders. Sales of food consumed
outside the home are now subject
to the tax.
