rather than in separate bills
where the overlapping gets you
confused" said Senator George
Heretofore. Congress has broken
the budget UP into a dozen de-
partmental appropriation bills
scattered through six months OF
more of each session. Chairman
Cannon of the House Appropria-
tions Committee hopes to have
the consolidated bill ready for the
House by mid-March, and trans
mitted to the Senate by the mid
die of April.
McKellar Calls Meeting.
Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
has called a meeting of that group
for tomorrow afternoon to con-
slider detailed procedure for han
ding the omnibus bill experiment
in that branch. He will report the
results of a conference six Sena-
tors had with the House Commit
tee last week.
Discussing the closely related
subject OF taxes, Senator George
said:
II am in thorough accord with
the Presidents thesis that we can
increase national income in the
United States in the next few years
to a much higher level"
The Senator added, however.
that he is equally certain" the
only way it can be done on long
range basis is "to lift the burden
from those who produce by not
increasing taxes and not increas-
ing restrictions.
In his economic message the
President suggested that with
IN f1ve years the nation can
achieve an annual output in
excess Of $500, ,000, 900 900. In
1949 the total production of
goods and services was $259,

FavOrs, Cuts and Revision.
u think we need reduction and
adjustment of the whole tax struc-
ture". Senator George went on.
observing that the present struc-
ture is not conducive to a stable
economy.
Senator George indicated that
Congressional fiscal leaders have
not yet worked out any specific
plans for tax revision, and he
was not sure how far this session
could go with a general revision
The President promised in his
economic message to have his
specific tax recommenda tions
ready to submit at an early date,
Last nights statement of the
citizens committee for the Hoover
Report said that for the first
time the budget is on a "per-
formance" basis along the lines
recommended by the Hoover
commission.
I'm it are incorporated most OF
the Hoover Commission's recon-
mendations on budgeting, the
committee declared. This is one
OF the most significant fiscal steps
in the Nations history. The
budget in its new form is a long
forward stride toward lasting orde,
and clarity in federal financial
planning"
The committee said the new
plan emphasizes the objectives OF
expenditure rather than the things
to be acquired. The new budget
the committee said, will break
down more than 80 per cent of
the appropriations to show the
programs, projects or activities to
be carried on and the money to be
devoted to each.
Budget Director Frank Pace, jr.,
accomplished the fundamentals
of this major reform in only six
months. according to the COM

Silent on Method of Detonation.
Mr.. de Courcy did not say at any
time what method of detonation
the Russians are using nor wheth-
er they have discovered a method
for decontaminating an area where
an atomic explosion has occurred.
Moscow newspapers and Soviet
spokesmen have declared Russia
was planning to use the atom for
such purposes as moving noun
tains. building dams, and carry
ing out irrigation projects.
Mr.. de Courcy said any ampli-
ication of his sources might en-
danger his informants. He had
said earlier tonight his inform
ants were using every resource
possible to get the confirmation

sion caused temporary blindness
by bleaching out the eyeball SUBJ
stance known as visual purple >
The blindness existed until the
body manufactured more of the
substance.
In injuries from radiant heat
japanese suffered third degree
burns damaging all layers of the
skim up to $500 yards from the
focal points and second-degree
burns (blisters) up to $500 yards
Severe symptoms from radia-
ton do not occur until several
days after exposure. This fact
would alleviate the medical prob
lem after a bomb explosion, giving
doctors an opportunity to deal
first with burns and mechanical
injuries, the report said.
Preparedness for a catastrophe
such as at Hiroshima would call
for approximately 250,000 pints OF
blood to treat all types of injuries
$4,000 pints per week for the
first three weeks.
Gamma Ray Dangers.
Dealing with the dangers from
gamma and other rays, the report
said:
This ionizing radiation cannot
ordinarily be detected by the
senses. If one touches a hot
stove. the sensation of heat and
resulting tissue damage is imme-
diate. But one may receive an
amount of ionizing radiation that
will produce far more serious It's
sue damage than a burn without
any sensation. No damage is ap-
parent for several days"
Heavy external exposures to
radiation causes "a massive break
down Of the body tissues, and may
injure sex organs, bone marrow
lymphoid tissue and OTTER parts
of the body. sm
Among japanese who suffered
heavy doses of radiation, the on
set was violent" and the first
symptoms appeared within 80
minutes.
Victims exposed to less lethal
doses suffered nausea and pros
tration within an hour. Later
their symptoms disappeared and
then returned in more acute form
with severe suffering and in some
cases with hair falling from head
and body as long as three weeks
after exposure, the report said.
But it added that if the pa
tient RECEIVERS, the hair gradually
grows back and the patient appar-
emily returns to normal.
Nevertheless. it is too soon to
say that survivors will not suffer
further from i'll effects" it said.
Many persons who recovered
from radiation sickness later died
from tuberculosis, pneumonia and
other dieases. Thus far the like
lihood of radiation-affection par
entS bearing deformed children
appears slight. Most Japanese
who suffered temporary sterility
from the injury seem to have re-
turned to normal.
Acute radiation illness may be
suffered by persons standing as
far as a mile from the point OF
the bomb explosion, and about
half of the exposed people stand
ing 400 yards away will die from
the illness. Under / 900 yards, ex-
posed people certainly will be
killed. the report said.
There is little danger of radio
activity on the ground from q
high bomb brust. or from con-
taminated drinking water or from
breathing radioactive particles.
The report suggested that q
combat-type gas mask will filter
out "99.999 per cent of all such
particles"

State-County Impasse
Over Prince Georges
Welfare Job Still On

The Prince Georges County
commissioners and the Maryland
State Board of Public Welfare re-
manned at odds today over ap-
pointment of a county welfare
board member to fill a year-old
vacancy.
The boards failed to agree yes
terday in a closed conference at
Upper Marlboro. They did agree.
however, to meet later in hope of
ironing out their differences.
The argument centers around
appointment of a successor to H.
Clay Whiteford of Hyattsville, who
resigned last year. The dispute
over naming a successor has been
smouldering for nine months.
Commissioners Stand Fast.
Yesterday. the fourth time the
issue has been revived, three State
welfare officials came to Upper
Marlboro to discuss it. They were
j. Milton Patterson, director of
the State department.; William L.
Calvin. acting chairman of the
State board; and Sidney Hol-
lander, board member.
They told the commissioners
they want either Granville Guide
of Laurel, or DR.. Harold c. Hoff-
sommer of College Park, named to
the post. The commissioners
countered that they want their
previous choice-Harry T. Jen-
kins, a Suitland flower grower.
The commissioners gave hope
that compromise would be
reached. They said they would
approve selection of either Mr..
Guide or DR.. Hoffsommer. pro-
vided Mr.. jenkins is named to
succeed Mrs. G. Carville Bowen of
University Park. Mrs. Bowen's
six-year term expires May. 81.
Under State regulations she can
not succeed herself.

Mr.. Jenkins previously served
one six-year term ending in May,

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 20. You
can't believe everything you read
on Maryland's income tax return
The forms were printed before
the General Assembly adjourned
last winter. And the Legislature
made a couple of changes in the
law TO save money for the tax
payers
Deductions allowed for depend
ents were increased-from $400 to
5000 each.
Deductions Increased.
So were personal exemptions for
people IS and older-from $1,000
to $4,000. Deductions for depend
ents in the same age group also
were raised-from $400 to $1,000
And the ceiling on unearned
income which a taxpayer is en-
titled to report on the short
form" was lifted from 500 to
$500. In effect. this cut the rate
from S to 2 per cent when divi-
dends, annuities and the like do
not exceed $500.
The forms were printed with the
old figures. Watch for them.
Take Page l. The section ex-
planning who qualities for the "op-
tional method of computing the
tax" sets limit of mot more
than 500 from dividends, inter
est and annuities." This should
read $500.
Item 4 of the optional section
refers you to the schedule for de-
pendents at the top of page 2
There it says to credit $400 for
each dependent. This is now $500.
Double Exemption for Wife.
Since a dependent at least IS
years old now qualities for a
double deduction, claim 81 200 for
grandmother or other close rela-
tive of that age.
If you personally are IS or
older, your own exemption is in
creased to $4,000. If you are not
but your wife is, you are allowed
a double exemption for her.
