To Begin Eighth Week.
The General Assembly will open
its eighth week of the 90-day
session with House and Senate
meetings tonight.
The House Ways and Means and
the Senate Finance Committees
have served notice that they will
get down to work in earnest this
week of their study of Gov. Nc
Keldin's record $3.50 million budget
proposal.
1t Is fairly certain that there
will be much Senate jockeying for
advantage between friends and
foes of a proposal to allow Mary
landers to decide at a referendum
whether they want to pay a bonus
to each Free Slater who saw serv-
ice in the two World Wars.
The $50 million bonus bond bill
was introduced by Senators Phoe-
bus, Republican, Somerset; Gold
stein, Democrat, Calvert, and
Bailey, Republican, st. Mary's,
Friday. 1t would pay off the
bonds by a penny tax on each
bottle of beer and with new wine
and liquor taxes.
If the revenues from these
sources were not enough to service
the bonds the real estate tax
could be hiked.
Each veteran would get from
$40 to $500. depending on the
type and length of his military
service.
Many of the IA Senators who
were servicemen themselves are
trying to beat down the proposal.
The Governor said he wants to
get the reaction of the State as a
whole before deciding whether to
support the measure.
Doubt has been created in my
mind that the demand for a
bonus continues to exist at this
time" he said.
