Editorial Attack in
Maryland ]. Paper

DR.. H. c. Byrd, University OF
Maryland president, who was edi-

by the campus newspaper last
week, laughed the whole thing off
today.
He said he didn't intend to do
anything about the criticism
which the paper. The Diamond

why should I take any &C
tion?" he asked.
He said the University believed
in freedom of the press and lets
the Diamondback print what it
pleases-just so long as the facts
are straight.
Metropolitan newspapers blew
the incident up out of proportion,
he added.
The editorial reprimanded him
for his criticism of Jim Tatum,
the schools football coach.
Doris Retzker, the Diamondback
editor who wrote the piece, said
today she didn't expect to be
punished for it.
Miss Retzker said she planned
to visit DR.. Byrd-maybe today, if
she can get an appointment with
him-but that the visit has moth
ing to do with her editorial.
Il don't even intend to bring
it up" she said. She said she
doesn't think DR.. Byrd will, either.
The meeting will be about other
newspaper details, she said.
Miss Retzker said one of her
reporters talked to DR.. Byrd about
the case and the prexy was very
calm about it."
Anyway, she said it wasn't an
attack on the president personally
Il think he's a very nice man" +"

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. 8.-Govern.
mental heads Of Maryland coun-
ties will gather here Wednesday
to decide what recommendation
the State Association of County
Commissioners will make to the
next General Assembly.
The meeting will begin at 10
am. in Carvel Hall Hotel. It
promises to become the most
significant since Western and
Eastern Shore Associations were
merged a year ago.
! Weighty issues on the agenda
include proposed changes in the
State assessment law, teachers
pay and the State school aid pro.
gram. All are controversial.
Road Problems on Agenda
Only slightly less so are such
scheduled topics as compulsory
motor vehicle inspections, load
limits on trucks travelling county
roads and control of billboards
along State highways.
Before any of these matters
are considered. the association
will elect next years officers and
directors.
U. Grant Hooper of Frederick
County is now president. Mrs.
Kathryn j. Lawlor. Montgomery
County, is secretary-treaSurer.
Debate at the organizations
meeting at Ocean City last fall
projected the probable trend of tax
assessment discussion. At that
time, strong objections were voiced
against the new real property as.
SesSment act which, unless re-
pealed, will become effective in
1854.
The statute changes the present
flve-year assessment cycle to a
three-year cycle. It further di-
rectS that new assessment figures
be kept off the books until the en-
tire county has been re-evaluated.
This would mean that the as
SesSable base of a county would
not be increased or decreased
annually as in prevailing prac-
tlce. Under existing procedure
counties are divided into five tax
districts. One is re-assessed each
year. The new figures are recorded
annually.
Might Affect Bond Sales
Such a lag in writing in new
figures, it was pointed out, might
adversely affect the sale of bond
issues and thus hinder school
construction and other public pro-
grams.
Opinion expressed at Ocean
City was that the Legislature
should be asked to amend rather
than repeal the new law. Most
of the county heads favored reten-
tion of the three-year plan. But
they want assessments recorded
each year.
Real Property Valuations.
Another matter likely to pro-
woke keen discussion is the ques-
ton of whether the State or the
counties should have final author
.Iity over real property valuations.
Today, State tax officials can raise
or lower county figures.
Some association members COM
Iplained at Ocean City that their
counties have lost large amounts
of tax revenue because of State
rulings. They promised to battle
for county supremacy.
