Virginia Redistricting
Group Meets March Il
To Study New District

Virginias special redlStrlcting
commission will meet at 10 am.
March IL in Richmond to consider
addition of a 10th congressional
district in the State.
Most speculation has been that
the new 10th district will be carved
from the existing 9th district next
to Washington which, with sos, ,979
residents. is the largest.
Republicans of the 9th district
already have proposed that the
new 10th district be created by
taking Alexandria. Arlington,
Fairfax and Falls Church from
the 9th district.
Based on 1850 Census.
A new congressional district in
Virginia was made possible by re-
suits of the 1850 census, which
showed that the Old Dominion
was entitled to regain a 10th Rep
in Congress which the
State lost 20 years ago.
BY dividing 10 into the States
total population of 3,270.322. each
new district should have about
100000 population. Supporters of
new district for Northern Vir-
ginia point out that combined
populations of Arlington, Alex
andria, Fairfax and Falls Church
is more than 295,O00. To make
the proposed district approach the
ideal figure, inclusion of Stat
ford and Prince William Counties
would give it a population of
100000.
State Senator Andrew w.
Clarke of Alexandria is the 9th
district representative on the
nine-member commission.
One Tenth of Population.
Redistricting for purposes of
representation in the State Senate
and House of Delegates also is to
be considered by the commission.
Noting that the combined pop
ulations of Alexandria, Arlington,
Falls Church, Fairfax, Prince
William and Stafford account for
one-tenth of the States total
population, some claim that these
areas are entitled to one-tenth
of the representation in the State
government
This would give the area 10
members in the House of Delegates
and four State Senators. The
same area without Stafford now
has two State Senators and five
Delegates.

Subcommittee Split
On U. Of Maryland
Bonds for BUILDINGS
By q stoff Correspondent of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 1.-Members
of a Senate finance subcommittee
agree on the need for additional
University of Maryland buildings
in College Park, but they differ
sharply over whether the institu-
tion should issue its own conStruc-
ton bonds.
The dissenting views on the
bond question were contained in
two reports presented to the full
committee last night. They
stemmed from a visit to the uni
versity on February 10.
Two of the three subcommittee
members, Senators John r. Flet-
cher. Republican, of Prince
Georges County, and Louis N.
Phipps, Democrat, of Anne Arun-
del County recommended that a
bill authorizing the university to
issue its own bonds for the new
facilities be reported favorably.
Dissenting was Senator William
Mason Shehan, Democrat, of Tai
bot County. He said he did not
feel revenues of the university
should be used to finance capital
expenditures and that he would
vote against any legislation which
will confirm or permit such
practice. y
Size Study Proposed,
Senator Shehan also recon-
mended appointment of a joint
committee of the General Assem-
bly, to study the problem of how
large the university should be.
The bill before the Finance
Committee would clarity authority
given the university last year to
issue its own construction bonds
1t also provides for issuance of
about S3.5 million in bonds to
finance new dormitories, a student
union building, additional housing
for fraternities and sororities and
physical observation-disclosures
building.
The bonds would be paid off by
student fees.
According to the majority re-
port, the proposed facilities are
badly needed" and could be pro-
vided without appreciable cost
to the State"
Sees Minimum Risk.
The report added:
The committee considered the
possibility of failure of student
activity funds to liquidate the
bonds :. in the event of great
national depression or catas-
trophe, but reasoned if this theory
was to be adopted by business
generally, the whole financial
structure of our country would be
severly jeopardized and for that
reason the committee believes that
minimum of risk would be
encountered"
Senator Shehan agreed that a
student union building and COM
bination physical education-au-
ditorium building was ''justifable. ="
But he expressed the belief ad-
ditional fraternity and sorority
housing should be postponed pend
ing more study.
Senator Shehan warned that, if
student fees are inadequate to pay
off the bonds, the bond holders
would make prompt" application
to the Legislature for reimburse
ment.
He ended by paying tribute to
DR.. H. C. Byrd, university presi-
dent as most able administrator
whose heart and soul is in the

Hears
Proposals for
New Sales Taxes
Withholding System
Also Suggested for.
Adding to Revenue
By the Assoeioied 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 S
Senate leader as 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 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 thai
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.
Il 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 indorsed 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 a 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 S4,794. 600:
Restore the per cent fee on
restaurant checks over $1.25,
charge it on alcoholic beverages
costing ID 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"
The Senate's Finance Commit
tee scheduled another budget con-
ference today, this time on the
Welfare Departments ALLEGATION.
House and Senate Judiciary Com
mittees, meanwhile, took up
changes in the workmen's COM
pensation law at a joint hearing.
