Counties Reject
Yearly Property
Assessment Plan

Last Thursday, Commissioners of
10 Maryland counties turned thumbs
down on a plan for property reas-
sessment at full cash value every
year.
They made it clear to state sena-
tors now considering Legislation to
put the plan into effect that they
want none of it.
Their action came as opposition
mounted in the Senate itself.
At issue was recommendation of
the Case Tax Survey Commission to
throw out rotational system followed
in Maryland since 1914.
The vote was taken at a meeting at
Annapolis called especially to demon
strate the counties position to the
Legislature. Two Montgom-
cry and Baltimore-abstained St.
Mary's and Dorchester were not
represented.
County spokesman were polled af-
ter Richard w Case, chairman of the
survey commission, H. Vernon Eney,
his chief assessment adviser and AL
bert w. Ward, secretary of the
State Tax Commission. all defended
the annual assessment idea.
at would be absurd to think that
state tax assessors are super people
that could 90 out and satisfy us in
one years assessment" replied Clar-
ence f. Tyler, an Anne Arundel
county commissioner and former
member of the House of Delegates.
The Senate bill compiling commits
sion recommendation would author
ize assessment supervision at a state
level
Some county spokesman complained
it concentrated too much power in the
State Tax Commission. Ward con-
tended boards of county commission
ers would retain their right to review
an assessment.

Frederick County Commissioners,
who conducted the meeting, named

Farm Workers Now
Under Social Security

Many regular farm workers i'm the
Garrett County area are now under
the new Social Security law, which
began January /, 1851, according to
James S. Getty, Manager of the Cum
berland Social Security office. Mr..
Getty emphasized that only the regu-
lar farm worker who receives cash
wages of $50 or more every three
months will come under the law, not
the itinerant, seasonal or part time
worker.
A new pamphlet, "Notice to Farm
ers with Regular Hired Help" eX-
plains how the farm operator can tell
whether any of his employees are
covered by the law. Issued by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue at Bal
timore, the leaflet can be obtained
from the Collectors office in Cum
berland or from the Cumberland
Social Security office.
In addition to explaining just what
farm workers are covered, the leafet
contains a tear-off slip, Form SS-4a,
which the farmer should complete
and mail if he has employees who will
be covered by the Law. When this
form is sent i'm the Collector of In
ternal Revenue will mail more de-
tailed information to the farmer.

Like to- he said.
We started the next morning.
Charlie wasn't the cheerful COM

there was something on his
mind.
Halfway across New Hampshire
we came to a place alongside the
road where a dozen or more cars
were parked, A sign proclaimed the
reason. Visit the site of the famous
Soucook Indian massacre the sign
read. Nothing like it anywhere.
Free lecture Offers much by way
of historical value. A scene you
won't forget. Admission IS cents"
Stop!" said Charlie. l stopped.
We got out and walked over to a
shelter beneath which man was
selling tickets.
The man with the tickets saw us
and urged US to buy, eloquently
celebrating on his printed sign.
Charlie dug into his pocket and
produced a half dollar Presently
about 20 people had purchased tick
cts and the man got down off his
stool and led US through the gate.
We followed him along the path.
He talked as we progressed. By the
time we reached our objective we
were all steamed up with apprehen-
sion.
We had entered a small clearing.
Beyond it was a ledge, overhanging
shallow gorge through which
trickle of water flowed. We stood on
the ledge while our guide told us
how, $50 years ago, a detachment
of militiamen had pursued a band
of 20 Indians through the forest.
Hard put, the Indians came to this
ledge. Below them was the gorge,
at that time good many times
deeper than now. Thus the red
skins had their choice of leaping
into the gorge or being shot.
TT was a gruesome tale. We were
all silent and impressed as we
made our way back to the cars.
That" said Charlie, ''is the best
gag I've ever seen"
Maybe" I said, "but how can
that guy prove any such thing
happened there?"
''HOw can the tourists prove it
didn't?" Charlie asked. "And
what do they care. That chap
knew what they wanted and he
gave it to them. They were sat
isfied." He became thoughtful.
Charlie didn't mention the Sou
cook massacre again during our
trip, but I suspected it was on his
mind When he left me in Boston
two days later he shook hands
warmly.

WHITE 50x PULLS UP
 WITH LANE
By Associated Press

Frank Lane, the man who isn't afraid to scorch his fingers in a deal, can take bow for the amaz- ing success story of the Chicago White Sox.
 Last by 1872 games with a sorry 8-21 record year ago, the surpris- ing Sox now are driving second with 19-9 and an unprecedented clean sweep on their first Eastern tour.
 Paul Richards, the new manager Lane brought in from Seattle, rates the big cheer. But the man behind the scenes is Lane, the energetic go-getter who is the Chicago gen. eral manager. F4 AH
 Lane wanted Richards as his manager when he took the Chicago job in 1948. But Jack Onslow all ready was hired.
 Successful Deals sef
 Once Lane got his man he started to move. A series of successful deals have changed the complexion of the White Sox from lackadaisical "do it tomorrow" second division gang to a rip snortin', running bunch of base bandits.
 This is made club, put to- gether almost entirely with deals. The Sox had no farm system worthy of the name.
 Harry Gumpert gave up Il hits to Philadelphia yesterday but went all the way to a 5-2 win. Chicago's seventh straight.
 But hot as they are the Sox can't gain on the New York Yankees who belted over Detroit, 11-1. for their 14th win in 15 Yankee Stadium starts.
 19-Hit Barrage
 Bobby Teller bounced back from his first loss at Boston to shut out Washington with two singles, l6-0, supported by 19-hit barrage.
 Bobby Avila with four hits and Larry Dolby with a three-run homer and single were the stoutest slug gers for Cleveland

Porcupine Captured
In Holmes County

Game management offici Is
were mildly surprised last week
when Ferrett Allison, Holmes
county game protector, reported
that live adult porcupine had
been captured in the county.
Extremely rare in Ohio, THE
"Porky" was found ambling in a
wooded section of the county be-
tween Winesburg and Berlin by
couple of the local farm boys.
Allison corralled the ''Porky" by
putting lard can over him and
slipping the top underneath.
1t was planned to have the
frlly-quilled wanderer on display
at the state fair, however the
"Porky" escaped several nights
later.
Game management men are of
the opinion that the animal was
not raised in the state, but
transported into the county by
someone and then eluded its
captor.
