McKeIdin CHARGES
Plot 10 Prevent Cut
In Maryland Taxes
ey tho Assoc;oteeI Press

BALTIMORE. Dec. Gov. Nc
Keldin today issued a statement
to the press charging a majority
of the Legislative Councils Budget
and Finance Committee with a
deliberate attempt to prevent the
reduction of Maryland tax rates.
He said the committees major
ity move to charge the operating
costs of the State Police to general
funds could be nothing but such
an attempt.
'"The State Police Department
now is operated from motor
vehicle revenue funds-a compare
lively small part of such funds
as it historically has been operated
except for the period from 1947
to 1851 when general funds were
diverted for this purpose" the
Governors statement said.
Sought Correction.
81 moved successfully for the
correction of this misuse of
general funds in the 1851 session
Of the General Assembly. I did
so because the prime responsible
ity of the State Police is the patrol
of our highways and the enforce
ment of laws necessitated by the
development and widespread use
Of motor vehicles.
There is no excuse for again
diverting general funds to pay for
the maintenance of this highway
patrol organization" his state
ment continued.
The Governor quoted Senator
Goldstein. Democratic, of Calvert,
as saying: Every time We ask for
something in my county, they say
they haven't enough money"
Cites Bridge Construction.
Gov. McKeldin said Senator
Goldstein's remark was in bad
grace" because it came on the eve
of the dedication of a bridge built
with State funds" for which Mr..
Goldstein pressed and which he
obtained, although similar con-
struction has been denied-and
properly so, 7 believe-in other
areas Of the State"
Gov. McKeldin charged that the
only desire of Senator Goldstein
"and his majority associates on
the committee" was to "embarrass
the present State administration" {"
1T is still my aim and purpose
to bring about tax reduction" he
added.

Advisory Group Offers Court Rules Fairfax
Five-point Plan TO Aid May Collect Overdue
Virginia Fish Industry Sewer Service Fees

Fairfax Circuit Court has up
held the county's right to collect
about $1,000 in overdue sewer
service charges that residents re-
fused to pay.
Judge Paul Brown has advised
attorneys for both sides of his
decision in favor Of the county,
and an order is being prepared
to close the three-year-old case
Suits Filed Against 50.
There are 646 overdue bills
among the residents that chal-
lenged legality of the 2 monthly
sewer service charge. The area.
involved-all located In Sanitary
District No. 1-are Huntington
Jefferson Manor. Fairhaven and
Jefferson Village.
The case originated about three
years ago when the county filed
suits against so of the residents
in trial justice court to secure
Judgments for non-payment of
sewer charges. The trial justice
court granted the judgments, but
the case was appealed to the Cir
cult Court in the name of Hyman
F. Glass. one Of the affected resi-
dents.
James J. corbalis. jr.. county
sanitary engineer. said it was
agreed not to enforce any of the
judgements until the Glass case
was decided. He said as soon as the
court order becomes final, bills
will be sent out on all the overdue
accounts. A new law permits auto
matte enforcement of liens against
properties for the full amounts If
the bills are not paid within a
specified time, Mr.. Corbalis said.
County Buys System.
The controversy arose while the
Holmes Run sewer system in San
itary District No. was owned by
the Federal Government and
leased to the county. The lease
provided that the sewer charges
were subject to the Governments
approval. Residents who refused to
pay claimed it was illegal for the
Federal Government to set the
rates, and that only the county
had authority to do so.
The county bought the sewer
system from the Government In
April, 1851, and since that time,
Mr.. Corbalis said, the response to
bills has been good.

ing November %. but they were
not disclosed until yesterday by

ming.
Mr.. Hall said that changing the
definition Of the RIM zone would
meet the major objection of al
most so per cent of the persons
who voiced opinions on the zoning
plan to the commission, either at
the public hearing or by letter.
The revised plan now goes to
the City Council for final action.
The council has scheduled a pub

poned his own ambitions for what
he believed to be the best in

"It is time, I believe" he said,
''for me to submit my record to

Backs Collective Security.
In discussing some of the prob
lens which he said he believed
he could help solve, Mr., Sasscer
put himself squarely on the side
of collective security.
THE day of isolationism and
all that breeds isolationism is over
for the American people" he de-
clared. "We must have security
collective security for us and those
who depend upon us for leader
ship in the world crisis-or the
future holds but little hope for
happiness for any of U.s."
And he came out just as strong
ly for a sound national economic
base on which to build a strong
military force.
1.-The creation of armies, navies
and air forces for defense is not
achieved simply by voting billions
of appropriations" he warned.
"If we are to be strong militarily
we must be strong economically.
We cannot continue to pile tax
upon tax until the sources Of Gov
ernment revenues are impaired
and begin to disintegrate.
I'VE have been generous with
aid to our allies, but now we are
entitled to know just what help
they can give, and how soon, so
that plans can be made and car
ried out to bring an end to the
cold and hot wars which have
troubled the free peoples Of the
world ever since the end Of World
War H."
Has Baltimore Area.
Mr.. Sasscer pointed out that
his district, in addition to Howard
County and the five Southern
Maryland counties of Prince
Georges, Charles, Calvert, st
Marys and Anne Arundel, includes
a section of Baltimore City.
AS a result, he said, he has be-
