Fund Shifting
Agreed To By
State Assembly
Police Pay Raises
Will Be Paid From
Motor Vehicle Tax

On the long and hectic last day
of the State Assembly session
which lasted until the wee hours
of Tuesday morning, Senate Demo-
Gratis acceded to Gov. McKeldin's
plan to finance State police pay
raises by shifting funds from the
State Raids Commission to the
Motor Vehicle Department. This
measure is bound to bring bowls
from all over the State from those
who hold that Motor Vehicle re-
turns should be earmarked for
improved roads.
In return the States only Re-
publican Governor in IA years,
Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin gave
the Democrats a surprise. The sur
prise was his revelation that the
fund transfer plan, fiercely fought
by Baltimore's Mayor, Thomas
D'Alesandro and other party lead
ers, was originally proposed by
two Democratic Office holders
State Comptroller J. Willard
Tawes and Treasurer Hooper S.
Miles.
Gov. McKeldin, during the last
night session, sent to each house
message saying: There is moth
ing in the $163 million budget or
in the acts of this Legislature call
ing for any new taxes or any in
crease in existing taxes. "This,"
he added, sis in itself an accom-
plishment in these times of rising
costs"
One major bill failed. 1t was
the proposed $50 million veterans
bonus which, if passed, probably
would have been vetoed because it
provided for increases in beer,
ewine and Liquor taxes. A bill pro-
viding one million dollars for civil
defense was sent to the Governor
after several Senators attempted
to attach amendments for build
ing projects in their counties
which would have raised the bills
total to $2.5 million.
Critized by their colleagues for
"oUt and out pork barrel moves,
the Senators finally withdrew the
amendment.
Efforts by Delegate William X.
Hughes Or. Prince George's) to
step up maximum gambling fines
from $1,000 to $4,000 and jail
terms from one to five years, were
unsuccessful.
A major piece of legislation en-
acted gave Maryland a seventh
congressional district, contained
entirely in Baltimore. The new
Representative will be elected in
1852.
At least one measure approved
during the final days session faces
veto. 1t would give all public
school teachers a $300-a-year pay
increase and finance it by increas-
ing corporation income taxes. Gov.
McKeldin has said time and time
again he would not approve legis-
lation which would raise taxes,
However, any post-session vetoes
will be reviewed by the 1862 Leg
islature under a 1850 constitution
al amendment, and it is possible
some may be overridden next year,
On the final legislative day a bill
banning composite photos from
future Maryland elections was
killed in committee.

County Legislation Fared
Well In Assembly Session
Biggest Victories Were In Defeat Of
Beer Monopoly Bill And The Enaction
Of A Number Of "HOme Rule" Measures

The 1861 General Assembly
which approved the States larg-
est budget-an item of 163 million
dollars-came to a close in the
early hours of the morning on
Tuesday. The House grew weary
of waiting for bills to cross the
corridor and adjourned at 1853
am. and the Senate called it quits
at 1853 am. The adjournment
had been delayed because of a fire
which Saturday night partially de-
stroyed Carvel Hall where many of
the legislators made their homes
during the sessions.
Although tired out by the 90-day
stretch with its hectic last week,
the all-Republican Montgomery
County delegation pronounced the
session gratifying" one--they
had been successful in enacting
into law most of their campaign
pledges.
Biggest victory for the Mont
gomery Legislators came in the
sessions dying moments when
they frustrated about efforts by
State Comptroller J. Willard Tawes
to repeal the beer monopoly sy-
stem in the county.
In another triumph the county
delegation pushed through both
Houses bill calling for an elected
school board in the county instead
of one named by the Governor, as
at present. The plan will be voted
on in county referendum this
November.
Most of the Republican party's
"home rule" pledges that they
would revise several State agen-
cies were carried out. These in

State Comptroller J. Willard
Tawes' House-passed bill to end
Montgomery County's beer mono
poly is as dead as the Maryland
Legislatures 1851 session. In al
most complete agreement, perhaps
for the first time, Montgomery
Democratic and Republican leaders
Joined in an effort to save the
monopoly which nets the county
almost $4,000 year. With
them in the fight were majority
of members of the county's numer-
Gus civic organizations.
At public hearing on the Tawes
proposal before the Judiciary Com
mittee, the united Montgomery
Countians made it clear that their
major concern was not the finan-
cial gain resulting from the mono
poly but rather their determine
ton to keep their county "clean."
Montgomery County is proud OF
the distinction it gained when 1t
was recently selected as one Of the
ten best-governed political sub
divisions in the Nation, the COM
mittee was told. Mrs. Stella y.
Werner, a member Of the County
Council, summed up this feeling
by saying:
A higher beer consumption rate
is the very thing Montgomery
County does not want We will
do without the extra dollars, and
we will pay higher taxes If neces-
sary-but we do not intend TO

Stock Prices Reach
New 1851 Low in
Moderate Selling
By Roder Wineet
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, June 29.-Relent-
less but moderate selling pressure
carried the stock market down
today into new low territory for
the year.
There never was any spectacular
activity. such as was witnessed
yesterday in the final hour when
the market established a new low
for 1851 for the first time since
early January. Today's fall pene-
trated deeper.
Selling unsettled the list from
the start of trading. Shortly after
the opening there was a faint at
tempt to make progress, but this
faded fast into a decline.
SteelS. rails, motors, oils, and
copper mining shares were most
active and lower followed by air.
crafts, chemicals, rubbers, and a
long list of miscellaneous manu.
facturers.
The decline carried down to
the 50 level among leaders with
a few going beyond that point.
Nickel Plate was off as much as
So at times.
The initial break yesterday came
after the State Depart
ment disclosed details OF the Rus
sian proposal for a cease-fire in
Korea. Today the progress of ne
gotiations for an armistice de-
pressed prices still further.
The general Wall Street feeling
is that changing the war from hot
to cold could cause widespread
repercussions in the pace of Amer
lean business-but just what or
how severe the jolt would be is
the big point of no agreement.
The very uncertainty has given
rise to an abundance of caution
and led to a growing desire to pro-
coed carefully until the new peace
pattern becomes more apparent.
