Senate S Budget Plan
Up for Vote Today as
McKeIdin Stands PAT
BY the Associofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2S.-Th e
Senate tried again today to unite
the knot around Maryland's S163
million budget. we'll aware that
Gov. McKeldin is standing pat on
his original program.
All the tugging and hauling is on
how to finance pay raises for State
employees.
Gov. McKeldin put in a bill
which would get part of the money
81, 1853, ,600-by transferring ex-
penses of the State Police De-
partment from general funds to
motor vehicle funds now turned
back to Baltimore City and the
counties. That was the way
things were prior to 1947.
The Senate Finance Committee
rigged up another version. which
would involve pairing of the budget
by 81 million and picking up the
rest of the money from funds
the State itself gets from vehicle
taxes.
The major test is due today
when the Finance Committee
plan comes up for Senate action.
Committee Actions Revised.
Until the issue is settled the
ord-breaking budget bill can
not receive action. Both House
and Senate last night gave tenta-
tive approval to the $163 million
budget, but final passage will wait
at least for a couple of days-to
get the bill printed and the other
to settle the political fight which
has developed over pay raises and
how to provide them.
The Senate twice overturned
committee actions during an &C
tive day session.
BY It'll vote, Senators tenta-
lively approved a uniform 2Es per
cent income tax rate. The Finance
Committee had turned down the
measure by Senator Barton, Dem
.ocrat. Of Baltimore. He argued
for the reversal on grounds a
standard rate would benefit old
persons who have saved their
money and depend largely on in
come from investments.
Unearned, or investment, re-
|ceipts are now taxed for the most
part at 5 per cent. Earned in
come at 2 per cent.
Truck Tax Defeated.
The Senate also brushed aside
Ia Judicial Committee report op-
posing larger racing commission.
This time the vote was 1911 to
keep alive a bill by Senator Sy-
bert, Democrat, of Howard County
to add two harness track repre-
|sentatives to the present three
man commission. A similar pro-
poSal has been beaten in the
House.
Delegates voted for harsher
treatment of truckers who fout
maximum weight laws. But at
the same time they approved rails
ing to $4,000 pounds the limit on
three-axle cement mixers.
A ton-mile tax on big trucks
also lost out in the Senate last
night. The defeat had been a
foregone conclusion although three
Senators took the floor and tried
to save it. The vote to kill the
bill was 18 to 9.
The bill would have placed a
tax of two mills per ton mile on
trucks over $4,000 pounds travel
ing Maryland roads.
1t had been drafted by the
Truck Weight Commission and op-
posed by truckers as a threat to
their business.

Montgomery Council
Urges More State
Funds for Schools
The Montgomery County Coun-

The Montgomery County Coun-
ell of Parent.Teacher Associations
last night urged the Maryland
Legislature to utilize matching
county funds in an expanded
school program.
In kilograms to Gov. McKeldin
and House and Senate leaders the
council asked an increase. in the
State incentive fund to $40 per
pupil, with 10-cent county tax
required to match instead of the
present scent tax.
1t also asked a $500 increase in
minimum State teachers salaries
The raise would be coupled with a
scent increase in the required
county tax, now set at IS cents.
Suggest School Statement.
Leslie M. Able. council legisla-
tive chairman, reported that
county taxes in excess of those
recommended already are being
levied in Montgomery County.
The council also voted to re-
quest the county's Board of Edu-
cation to issue to all parents at
the beginning of the school year
a brief statement on the goal and
methods of the school system.
In addition it asked the school
board to consider issuing an an
Inual report containing data on
the county schools together with
such material as may seem desir-
able each year on curriculum
methods and philosophy"

David L. Weed, Potomac, was
reelected president of the council
at its annual meeting at the Glen
mont School.

Recreation Area
On f. Canal
Gets Backing
Sportsmen Oppose
Parkway Through
Wilderness Section
By james BirchfieId
Stor Stoff Correspondent

FREDERICK, Md, Mar. 3d.
The development of the c. e. O.
Canal for park or recreational
purposes might serve to thwart
any future plans for damming the
Potomac River, sportsmen and
park officials were told at a meet
ing here last night.
DR.. William Holton, president of
the National Izaak Walton League
and member of the State Game
and Inland Fish Commission, said
the canal area definitely should
be developed. Such action, he
said. would be the best means Of
preventing revival of the Army
engineers plan to build IA dams
in the Potomac basin.
DR.. Holton, however, did not
agree that parkway along
the route of the old canal
between Washington and Cumber-
land would be the best solution
in developing the canal area. He
said the game commission at a
recent meeting went on record
as opposing the highway.
Last Wilderness Stretch.
On the other hand, Russell Nc
Cain, chairman of the State Roads
Commission, said the commission
felt that, if certain requirements
were met, the commission could
hardly fail to accept for the State
a highway connecting the two
cities.
MIR. Mccain said the commits
sion felt that if Maryland is to
pay for additional rights of way
| 1T should either retain title to
this land or reach an agreement
with the park service whereby the
States citizens would retain
rights of approach to the area.
Maryland would be required to
provide additional land necessary
for development of the parkway
DR.. w. A. r. Bell, Frederick
County Izaak Walton Lacquer,
said he was strongly opposed to
the construction of highway
along the canal route.
Backing the proposal was Rep
resentative Beall. Republican, of
Maryland who assured sconserva-
tionists the parkway would not
interfere with fish and game
propagation.
He said its development is not
contemplated until after the ma
tlonal emergency. The present
goal is simply preliminary legisla-
tion which will not cost the State
any money in the immediate fu-
ture, MI. Beall added.
Bill Would Guarantee Access.
Last week Mr.. Beall introduced
a bill in Congress to require the
Interior Department to allow pas
sage grants through the parkway
to business firms requesting them
He said that step would prevent
industry from being choked off of
the Potomac River.
Mr.. Beall explained that the
meeting was not to take action
but to have the proposed parkway
plan explained.
Attending the meeting with Mr..
Beall were Conrad L. Wirth. as
sistant director of the park serv-
ice; Harry Thompson, associate
superintendent of the National
Capital Parks; Raymond Gregg,
park naturalist. and H. j. Spell
man. engineer for the Public
Roads Administration.
Allegany County is generally re-
garded as backing the parkway
while Washington County groups
oppose it. Frederick and Mont
gomery Counties, the other two to
be affected, have not officially
taken sides in the issue.
