BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-Con-
troler j. Millard Tawes proposed
today a Is per cent reduction ir
Maryland State income tax bills
for 1851.
Another top State official said
the proposal has Gov. McKeldin's
Endorsement.
James G. Rennie, director o1

the Legislative Council "the Gov
Iernor approves it wholeheartedly
I am authorized to say that"
Outlining it to the Council, Mr.
Tawes estimated the reduction
would mean a saving of some
thing over SO million" to taxpay-
ers. They would compute their
bills by the same percentages now
in effect. Then they would SUBJ
tract per cent from the net tax
due on income for 1851. It would
affect both earned and unearned
income for individuals, but not
corporations.
The saving would come from an
estimated surplus of about $12

PIeven Wins in Vote,
Pushes Tax Increase
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 4.-Premier Rene
Pleven went back to his fight fol
government economy reforms and
higher taxes today with a small
majority vote of confidence behind
him.
The National Assembly voted
254 to 247 last night to debate his
plans for a 10 per cent increase
on most indirect taxes and fo1
changes in the national railways
and social security systems.
The government has been under
sharp criticism for the way social
security and the nationalized rail-
ways are run.
Mr.. Pleven has said the cabinet
will accept some changes in the
plans proposed by the AsSembly's
Finance Committee.
The vote of confidence, he said,
means only that "the Assembly
recognizes the need for a balanced
budget and whatever means may
be used to allow the nation to 60
ahead with the tasks it must
shoulder"
To balance the 1852 budget, Mr..
Pleven said. France needs about
$3.50 million, either as direct
economic aid or in the form of
American spending in France.
France already has a promise of
$500 million for the last half of
1851 and the first half Of 1852.
Mr.. Pleven's victory was close.
The numerically weak Socialist
Party, holding the balance of
power, assured his victory by de-
Gliding to abstain on the vote.
