Bill To Give
County More Tax
Power Shelved

A bill which would have given
the county unlimited taxing author
ity was lost in the General Assem-
bly, on Tuesday. Within minutes
after County Manager Irving G.
McNayr asked House Ways and
Means Committeeman for greater
tax powers so new county revenues
could be produced, members killed
the proposal.
Chairman ]. Douglas Bradshaw
(R.) of the Montgomery legis-
lative delegation, said later his
group would not try to get the
measure out Of committee. The
Montgomery tax measure as draft
ed, would have given the county
as much taxing power as that en-
joyed by the State.
Admitting the measure was "too
broad" in scope, Mr.. McNayr
called for touchdown proposal
giving Montgomery the same tax
ing powers as those of Baltimore
County and Baltimore City. Such
powers include authoritoy to tax
tobacco, alcoholic beverages, util-
ity bills and vending and music
machines. But the committee de-
cided against accepting any amend
ments. The motion for an I'M
favorable committee report was
made by a Montgomery County
Delegate, Anders r. Lofstrand, Jr.
(R) Mr.. Lofstrand said he was
opposed to further county taxation.
His opposition was echoed by Sill
yer Spring Board Of Trade spokes-
men.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-In al

This clothing is needed desper-

In a war that already has cost
perhaps 2 million casualties the
Korean civilians have been among
the greatest sufferers. The battles

Truman Keeps Quiet
On Reports He'll Move
In on Current Probes
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor Stoff Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 8.-PreS-
tdent Truman today kept his own
counsel in the face of reports that
he was planning to move in on
the unfolding story of misconduct
in Government. and take the in
vestigative play away from Con-
gress.
In the absence of any direct
word from the Chief Executive as
to what might be done in the
light of rumors from Washington
that the President was determined
to do his own house-cleaning be-
fore his hand was virtually forced
by Capitol Hill, the Little White
House" was asked today by re-
porters for some guidance in the
matter. The query drew blank
There have been reports that
the President might start large
scale inquiry by the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation or a COM
mission, or even special prosecu-
tors, but official sources will not
admit that such a course has even
been discussed.
Oliphant Resignation a Surprise
The firings that thus far have
taken place have been the out
growth of congressional diggings
It was said on good authority, in
cidentally, that the resignation of
Charles Oliphant as general coun-
sci of the Internal Revenue Bureau
came as surprise here.
