Proposals for
New Sales Taxes
Withholding System
Also Suggested for
Adding to Revenue
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Mar. L.
Senate Democrats who want to
find more money for school teach
ers and State employees without
raising taxes faced disagreement
within their ranks today.
Increases in the sales tax have
been urged by the majority party's
Senate leader as a means Of giving
the States $4,000 public school
teachers an additional $500 a
year.
Senator Goldstein, Democrat, of
Calvert, suddenly broached the
proposals at the close of a FL
nance Committee meeting yester-
day with DR.. Thomas G. Pullen.
jr., State Superintendent of
Schools.
Senator Goldstein offered his
ideas after the House Democratic
leadership got behind a move TO
slap Maryland's income tax on
payrolls. Delegate Boone. Demo-
crat, of Baltimore County. ma
jority floor leader in the House,
appointed a three-man subc om-
mittee to prepare legislation thar
would apply the Federal Govern
ment's withholding system to the
States levy on income.
Estimates 81 Million.
Mr.. Boone estimated this would
return 81 million more than
Maryland now realizes from one
of it's lushest sources of revenue.
Other estimates have ranged from
81 million to Sc million.
Mr.. Boone said the proposal
does not contemplate having Dis
trict of Columbia firms withhold
taxes from salaries of employees
who live in Maryland.
II just don't see how that could
be DONE" the committee chair
man said.
Gov. McKeldin. who like DEM
ocratic leaders in the General As
sembly has Endorsed salary hikes
for State workers, counts on near
ly $14 million next year from the
personal income tax. Including
the charge on corporation income,
that source is expected to produce
$28.7 million in general funds.
Over So Million Needed.
Both sides have calculated So
million raise in anticipated rev.
enues from all sources would serve
to raise State wages.
Senator Goldstein estimated
these sales tax increases would
bring in another $4,794, 900:
Restore the per cent fee on
restaurant checks over $1.25,
charge it on alcoholic beverages
costing IA cents or more. cigarettes
sold through vending machines,
rental of calculating machines and
on machinery bought elsewhere
for use in the State.
DR.. Pullen again called for an
nual $500 raises for teachers. But
he told the committee bluntly he
did not want to get into a tax
fight"

motorist had moved.
Those who wilfully failed to
notify traffic officials of their ad-
dress changes were given tickets
and required to put up IS before
having their application forms re-
stored to them.
Police said the number of forms
returned because of failure of the
recipients to notify the depart

ID. C.. Board of Trade Hits Home Rule BIIT

AilC w coAl1AlS 1Oll oUd4Q VI 1ldQc
today struck out hard against the
Kefauver-T Taft bill for an elected
city government, contending it
would not bring "home rule" but
might result in increased taxes
and even a loss Of the Federal
payment.
The trade body said there can
be no real grant of suffrage"
unless:
l. In any District elections the
vote is granted only to genuine
citizens" !" resident here and main
tanning no domicile elsewhere and
not claiming exemption from
taxation by the District, and
2. Voting representation in Con-
gress is granted the District, in
keeping with it's population. and
like representation in the Electoral
College, where the election of
President and Vice President is
confirmed.
Colladay Presents Stand.
The position of the Board of
Trade, which has been under
attack by some of the home rule
advocates, was presented at
today's hearing before the Senate
District Committee by Edward F.
Colladay. a three-time president
of the body and now it's general
counsel.
He tied the national representa-
ton issue directly to the local
home rule bill. He said the Board
of Trade proposed that if the
Kefauver-Taft bill. or any similar
measure is passed, it should in
clude provision that it take effect
only if Congress and three-fourths
of the State Legislatures ap-
proved a Constitutional amend
ment granting national repre-
sentation to the District.
Neely Queries Witness.
Chairman Nicely of the COM
mittee conducting the hearing. in
terrupted Mr.. Colladay to say
that apparently no requests were
made last year for hearings by the
Senate Judiciary Committee on
the Nicely resolution to grant the
District national representation.
Responding eagerly, Mr.. Cola
day said he hoped the Senator
would ask for such a hearing and
added that I'VE will back it 100
per cent"
THAT request will be made be-
fore the end of the day." Senator
Nicely promised.
Senator Nicely later said he
would take up the matter per-
sonally with Chairman McCarran
of the Judiciary Committee as
soon as he could be reached.
Senator Neely recessed the
home-rule hearing until 10 am.
next Monday. Many more wit
nesses had been scheduled to
testify today and probably will
be heard later.
Mr.. Colladay said the national
representation should take the
form of a Constitutional amend
ment, giving Congress:
Power to provide that there
shall be in the Congress and
among the electors of President
and Vice President members elect
ed by the people of the District
constituting the seat of the Gov
eminent of the United States, in
such numbers and with such pow
ers as the Congress shall deter
mine"
All legislation under this pro-
posed amendment would be sub
ject to amendment and repeal.
Calls for Federal 20G.
The pending home rule bill calls
for a Federal payment of about
20 per cent, based on District tax
collections of the previous year.
But Mr.. Colladay said that ''if

whole nation of book reviewers.
Less than half of the review was
in quotes from the book itself.
This is an Olympian restraint.
Far more pretentious historians
4of the Goth century than Green
and Laurie could learn from them,
and not only about >liveliness of
style but in the selection Of ma
terial.
| A fine social insight is revealed,
for instance. in their material on
the year 1925.
Possibly as a reaction to an
overdose of the Roaring 20s," they
record, "the old-fashioned virtues
of Americana came into play.
There was a wholesale revival of
oldtimers onstage in spelling bees,
wood-chopping contests, marble
shooting. jackknife Tipping. pie
eating, ETC."
That's how it is with Americans,
only most historians are more
profound, and obscure, in the ways
they say it.
| There is a hero character in
"Show Biz" and variety's tough
est mugs never stay in their
reverence for him. This is Sine
Silverman who started the paper,
and of whom a rival publisher
once judged: You wanna know
who's the only real Christian I
know, Abel? It's that lovable
Jew up there on that
throne"
Shines legacy to his staff was
more than a colorful, rugged. hon.
Iest, ferociously anti-phony weekly
trade paper. 1t was also the in
Ispiration of the virtues he brought
to the paper as it's first editor
and publisher.
Show Biz" pays Sine the trib-
ute. that is his due.

Everybody's name. 1t seems,
comes into the Green-Laurie ac-
count of Variety's As years ot
flamboyant life. Even those on
the fringe of show biz get in,

nacular, which it uses with an
almost spectacular unself-con-
sclousness, it tells how everyone
is doing. 1t says how this star
was a "flopperoo" while another
was being "boffo"; who got the
weeks big yak" and who was
"thumbsdowned."
The Variety reader knows every
thing that was "preemed" any,
where and also who "yanked"
what and for precisely what rea-
son.
In the curiously childlike world
Of entertainment, Variety's re-
ports have an impact that Hans
Christian Andersen could envy.
Their basis is fact, handled with
a proud sort of accuracy, but they
read like fairy tales to the initi-
ate.
Hardly anything, obviously,
could be more wonderful.
X n
The one thing that could be
more wonderful. perhaps, would
be book for the general public
letting it in on the magic world
which Variety reports.
Well. bless the hearts of Abel
Green and Joe Laurie, jr., there
is such book. 1t is on the book
stands right now and if it doesn't
become one Of the best best-sellers,
the times are more fouled up than
anyone realized. Title of the work
is Show Biz" 1t represents $780,
600 words of show biz history
culled from the pages of Variety
all the way back to 1905 when
the beloved Sine Silverman
started the paper.
1t has created a kind Of pam
demonium. an ecstatic kind natu-
rally. in the biz. Even the most
dignified, rich creative chaps like
Bob Sherwood, Richard Rodgers,
ETC.. in the legit-the most dig
nified branch of entertainment
are fairly dancing the street over

Variety's muggs-their own
word for themselves-found such
an enthusiast in Mr.. Sherwood
that he wrote the papers own
