Lane Proposes
$4,000 toAid
State Hospitals
Emergency Funds
Would Cut Losses
On INDECENT Patients
By the As.ociofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 90 Gov.
Lane greeted legislators returning
today with a proposal that would
give Maryland's general hospitals
the funds they have been crying
for.
After a meeting with his budget
advisers, he suggested that $751;
900 more be made available to
the hospitals for the care of per-
sons unable to pay their hospital
bills.
Of this money, he explained,
$25O,000 would come from the
States $500,O00 emergency fund.
If the surplus at the end of the
fiscal year-June 80, 1950-exceeds
the estimated $6,456,642, the emer-
gency fund again would be brought
up to $5OO,O0O.
The States hospitals have COM
planned they are losing money by
accepting $40 per INDECENT patient
per day. Actually. it costs the
hospital from $14 to almost $40 a
day to keep them, hospitalized,
they explained.
Other Limits Possible.
Gov. Lane also said it would be
necessary to restrict supplemental
budget appropriations for all other
departments and purposes to
about $250,000. Requests for such
supplemental appropriations now
exceed $1,000,000.
Observers wouldn't predict i'm
mediately how this would be
taken by the General Assembly
Giving the hospitals more money
apparently had much support in
both houses, but the limiting OF
the supplemental funds may step
on several legislative toes.
Meanwhile, the senators have
another problem before them.
Restaurant owners over the State
were to testify before the Senate
Finance and House Ways and
Means Committees at a joint
hearing to urge removal of the
restaurant sales tax.
The restaurateurs feel the tax
is discriminatory. in that no tax
is put on the housewife when
she buys food to cook at home,
but those persons who eat out
are taxed.
Rely on Sales Tax.
Administration forces are ex-
pected to be critical. for the pro-
posed $143,000,000 budget is
based on the full sales tax pro-
gram.
| A drop in sales tax revenues
would mean a wholesale revamp-
ing of the budget.
+ Party whips will be singing
this week, for only 10 days re-
main before the adjournment
deadline and much remains te
be done.
Gov. Lanes four-point tax re-
duction program is expected tc
clear the Assembly this week
which would take $1,250.00(
State income tax burden off the
backs of the taxpayers.
| A property tax cut bill-drop-
ping the real estate tax rate from
12.39 cents per $100 of assessed
value to s cents-is about ready
for introduction.
And there remained the vet
erans' bonus bill. It's fate is still
uncertain.

BY JACK LEE
Chairman Club Emancipation,
Young Progressives
OF America

The point of view expressed by
the esteemed Mr.. Alfred Baker
Lewis in his recent GUARDIAN
article which discussed the forth
coming Civil Rights Mobilization
in Washington, D. c., on January
1917, is so misleading in its ap-
proach, and so damaging to the
cause of Civil Rights in its effect
as to compel an answer.
The undue fascination of Mr..
Lewis and segment of the ma
tional and local leadership of the
NAACP with the Communist
menace has dimmed their under
standing of the more important
basic needs of the people of the
nation. Mr.. Lewis, himself repu-
tedly millionaire, can be under
stood if his concern for property
rights transcends his concern for
human rights. The NAACP, mass
organization Of the colored peo-
pie of the country, can not permit
this strange concern to dominate
its approach to the problems Of
the people which it represents.
And Pm one of 'em!
