Commissioners Urge
Reassessnent Veto

Commissioners from Is of Mary
lands % counties yesterday voted
unanimously to ask Governor Nc
Keldin to veto the property re-assess-
ment bill passed by the General As
sembly.
Commissioners also decided to form
a statewide organization, to be known
as the State Association of County
Commissioners of Maryland.
Joseph H. A. Rogan, chairman of
the State Tax commission, told the
county officials what he believes is
wrong with the property reassess-
ment bill.
The bill calls for a three-year Tin
stead of present five) cycle, property
assessment, authorizes various aids
to help in assessing and delegates
more power to local governmental
branches. Rogan said the bill couldn't
help but drag local politics into the
picture" if the county commissioners
or other delegated groups were per-
mitted to call for reassessments of
districts or even entire counties.
The present five-year rotation plan
calls for onc-fifth of county to be
rcassessed each year. Each of these
districts can be reassessed only after
the five-year period, or if the state
tax commission feels the tax is dis
proportionate.
Attending the meeting from this
county were Jonas w. Sines and j.
Edward Helbig, commissioners, and
Richard Pagenhardt, attorney to the
board.

Violent Reaction
Caused by Truman's
Firing of Macarthur

President Truman's summary dis
missal of Gen. Douglas Macarthur as
Far Eastern commander yesterday
provoked the swiftest and most violent
reaction that Washington and the ma
ton has experienced in several years.
The initial repercussion was pre-
dominately hostile and included pro-
posals ranging from simple censure
of the Executive to his removal from
office by impeachment.
President Truman declared in a
radio address last night that Mac
Arthur's proposed policies in Asia
carried the grave risk of third world
war. He said he had to fire the gen
eral to make clear this nations real
purpose and aim" of peace.
Macarthur remained silent in Tokyo
but he earlier let it be known that
he is ready and willing to defend his
views before a joint session of Con-
gress. Truman had rejected MacAr-
thurs views that the United Nations
should bomb Manchuria and China
and aid Chinese nationalist troops to
invade the Chinese mainland.
Republican cries for impeachment
of President Truman punctuated
furious argument over the firing of
the general.
Rep. j. Glenn Beall of this dis
trict, declared: Il was amazed and
stunned at Mr.. Tg.n1an's action, but
it only proves ,yha, great many Of
US knew-that Secretary of State
Acheson and his crowd are running
the show. Through their bungling they
got US into this war-now they're try
ing to save face by making General
Macarthur the goat"
Former President Herbert Hoover
said, This action can bring great
tragedy to our country. 1t does not
solve the primary question of how to
end our war with Communist China
without advantage to Soviet Russia.
A strong pillar in our Asian defense
has been removed"
John Marshall Butler, Maryland's
junior u. S. Senator, declared, 81 think
it is the most outrageous thing | have
ever heard of. If the people of Amer
lea had free choice they would fire
Truman and Acheson and keep that
great American, General Macarthur.
Also | believe it's high time that the
foreign policy of this country was
dictated by the people of the United
States rather than by No. 10 Downing
street"
Many newspapers termed it "a
tragic day for America" one news
paper stating that the cause of peace
and American safety "is left in doubt
full hands"
Locally the comment was most
strongly in favor of Macarthur, and
against the Presidents action.
