OF her big shows in Hollywood.
When Margaret first appeared
on the show. We were little
afraid Of how she would be. since
she had never done that type of
thing before. But we were en-
chanted with how she came
through. She knew all her lines
and she delivered them with the
assurance of a veteran. And she
was competing with such profess
Sionals as Fred Allen.
She's a wonderful sport, too.
She hangs around the stage and
kids all of us. We've never had
to change the script for her. Hel
only request has been that We
say nothing that would poke fun
at her father. But she said We
could say anything We wanted
about her.
Yes. dahling, I think Margaret
can make a fine career for herself
in show business. I'm not sure
what field it would be, because I
don't know what she is aiming
for. But I'm sure she will be
success. She has the poise and
naturalness that make a fine per-
former. She has simplicity. don't
mean she's simple. because she
isn't: I mean she has the SIM
plicity that goes with greatness.
White House Appreciation

had reactions from the White
House from Margaret's appear

Fairfax Board Backs
New Sanitary District

Proposed creation of a new SAN
itary district in the Tauxemont
area of Fairfax County yesterday
was indorsed by the county Board
Of Supervisors.
A public hearing will be held in
the Circuit Court on March %
on a petition of residents in the
area for establishment of what is
to be known as Sanitary District
No. 4. The petition was filed last
month by Attorneys Glenn U.
Richard and Andrew w. Clarke in
behalf of the residents.
James j. Corbalis, jr., county
sanitary engineer, said the pro-
posed district would contain about
four square miles and described
the boundaries as follows: Little
Hunting Creek on the south, No.
l highway on the west, the Poto-
mac River on the east, and San
ltary District No. l on the north.
The supervisors instructed As
SCISSOR Graham James to reassess
property in the 7l2 square miles
OF county land Alexandria seeks to
annex. The territory was awarded
in December to Alexandria. and
for a time it appeared unneces-
sary to reassess that area to-
gether with the rest of the county.
The appeals court. however, has
granted Fairfax new hearing in
the case, and the disputed ter
ritory, therefore, is expected to
remain under county Jurisdiction
for some time to come, if not for
ever.

Two Bills 10 Continue
Nearby Bus Service
.
Offered in Annapolis

Two bills designed to block the
Capital Transit Co. proposal to
discontinue eight buslines in near
by Maryland were introduced in
the Senate at Annapolis yester-
day.
CryStallizing protests which rose
in the wake of the transit COM
pany's announcement, the bills
were introduced as emergency
measures. The emergency clause
means that if passed and signed
by Gov. McKeldin, the acts would
become effective at once.
Objections of discontinuance of
the lines were so strong that
the Public Service Commission
changed its plans to hold hearings
in Baltimore and announced that
objections will be aired at 10 am.
next Wednesday at the Silver
Spring Armory.
One bill, said to have the back
ing of the commission, would au-
thoriZe that agency to require
continuance of service after fran
chiSeS have expired until it
determined whether public con-
venience or necessity permits
abandonment.
1t also would provide that serv-
ice could not be cut off without
the commissions consent, regard
less of franchise expirations.
The second proposal, presented
by Philip H. Dorsey, peoples
counsel to the commission, would
give the PSC power to deny car
riers the right to reduce service
on parts of its system on the plea
of insufficient returns if, after
hearings. the commission rules
that operation of the entire sys-
tenn shows profit.
Capital Transit has challenged
the commissions authority to in
tervene in plans to drop the eight
lines. It's action presaged a court
fight should the commission rule
that service must be continued
after March 81.
In its dismissal motion, Capital
Transit questioned the commits
sion's right to hold the hearing
and to order continuation of serv-
ice on the eight lines pending a
decision.
The Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring last night "strenuously''
opposed abandonment of any
Montgomery County bus lines.
Failure of the Capital Transit
Co. to maintain fully all its lines
in the area" should lead to can
collation. of the firms franchise
by the Public Service Commission
the organization declared. 1t also
urged the PSC to grant said
franchise to whatever company or
companies can provide adequate
service"

New MckeIdin Budue1
Requests Jump Total
To S163 Million
By J. L. MichoeI
Stor Sf1ff Coyrsx,onda,f

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 15.-Mary-
lands budget prospects today to-
tai $l63 million. which is $18 mil
lion more than last years.
The States spending outline for
the fiscal year beginning July l
jumped from $3.50 million-the
original estimate-to a new high,
when Gov. McKeldin sent his
supplemental budget request to the
Legislature last night.
With it came three administra-
ton bills for bond issues, which
would total $22, sos 900.
The supplemental budget pro-
posal would take SIS million from
general funds and nearly 81 mil
lion from special funds, but after
adjustments, the net increase
would be about $35 million.
In the busiest day of the ses-
sion. the Governor signed 95 bills
and two joint resolutions, while
school officials scurried through
the State House in a search for
sponsors for their $45 million pro-
gram.
They found eight delegates,
after the House Education Com
mittee took a hands-of stand
The bills were introduced last
night in the face of the Cover
nor's mandate that no new taxes
be imposed.
Budget Action First.
No action can be taken on them
until the budget is passed.
The bond bills would provide
$2.5 million for civil defense. SIS
million for an industrial research
laboratory at Johns Hopkins En-
gineering School and S18.695 900
for general construction.
In a message accompanying the
budget, Gov. McKeldin said:
development of the economic
situation has made necessary in
creases in the salaries of State
employees. OF the total general
fund appropriations of S5,094,734,
a total of $4,372,574. or SO per
cent. is for that purpose. The
entire $1,917.109 special fund ap-
preparation is also for salary in
creases."
The new budget request includes
$50, 100 for installation of an elec-
trio vote recorder in the House
chamber, to be in use during the
1852 session.
Another item mentioned by the
Governor is an appropriation of
$4,000 to expand the Fire Ex-
tension Service School at the
University of Maryland.
For New Construction.
New construction at the uni
versity, to be paid from bond is
sues would include:
A poultry building, a mathe-
matics building, an engineering
library and a small auditorium, a
general supply depot, an admin
istration and research building, a
State police training school and
an engine research laboratory and
equipment.

Tawes' BiIIsSubmitfed
To End Montgomery
Beer Sale Monopoly
BY steff Correspondent Of The star

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 15.-Identi.
cal bills to end the monopoly salt
of beer in Montgomery County ar,
before Maryland's Senate anc
House today.
Prepared at the direction o.
State Controller j. Millard Tawes
the measures were introduced by
Senate President George w. Della
and House Speaker John C. Luber
Democrats, both of Baltimore.
They were sent to the State
House with statement attackins
the statute under which Mont.
gomery has enjoyed a profit ol
100000 a year.
A similar measure, sponsored By
Senator Dewitt S. Hyde, Repub-
lican, Montgomery, was killed last
week when Senator Hyde asked
and received an adverse commit.
tee report.
Taking the floor on a point O.
personal privilege soon after tht
ollls went in the hopper las
night, Senator Hyde told his col.
leagues he had offered the bill a
the controllers request. He sait
his measure had included a pro
vision to make up lost revenue b,
levying a county tax on alcoholi
beverages.
Calls for Bills Death.
The controller denounced tn,
provision in a statement last week
Mr.. Tawes agreed to the pro.
posal," Senator Hyde declared
"and now he has repudiated hi.
word. I believe the Senate owe.
it to me to kill his bill"
In the House, Minority Leader
Anders R. Lofstrand, of Mont
gomery County. echoed Senator
Hyde's statement and promised
"a fight to the finish"
Most observers, however, were
OF the opinion that Mr.. Tawes'
action foreshadowed passage of
his bill because both chambers
have top-heavy Democratic ma
joritieS.
In his statement, a copy of
which went to each legislator, the
controller said that, under the
monopoly, consumption of beer
IN Montgomery County, has fall
en- to consideraly less than one
half OF the per capita consumption
OF the entire State"
Many consumers in Mont
gomery County," he added. "are
buying their beer in the District
of Columbia and the District is
getting the tax"
