Maryland income Tax
Won BE Cut in April
Gov. MckeIdin Says
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. 19.-The Isl
Iper cent State tax cut Maryland
Iers enjoyed on 1851 income will
mot be repeated on April Is.
Gov. McKeldin said Yesterday
the Republican administered ien|
would resist any increase except
for an unavoidable raise IN real
estate taxes for 1864. but income
taxes cannot be cut next year.
At the same time, the Governor
had good news for Maryland's 81
nearly 10000 State employees.
They will get raise. That's one
|of the reasons for his assertion
that there can be no reduction
lin taxes at this time"
Lists 8 Cost Factors.
Gov. McKeldin listed pay boosts
for State employees as one Of
three big cost factors which he
said dashed hopes for some kind
Iof tax relief now.
The other two reasons were adj
ditional State aid for Maryland's
$4,000 public school teachers
$500 increase has been recon-
|mended. with the Governors
blessing, for teachers. and addi-
tional personnel for new or ex-
banded. institutions.
Nothing has been disclosed on
appropriations the Governor will
recommend for the 1953-54 fiscal
year, but with taxes at present
levels, prospects are that most Of
$1O3 million available in general
funds will be distributed in the
budget.
Property Levy to Rise.
The States property levy Is al
most certain to climb from the
|6.04-cent rate sflxed for 1853. ADJ
|visers told the Board Of Revenue
Estimates last month that unless
the State let's its annuity bond
fund slide into the red for q few
months in 1866. the rate for 1854
should rise to q fraction above III
cents on the 500.
Gov. McKeldin said yesterday
that bonds issued by my prede-
|cessors" would cause the real es-
tate tax increase. State loans are
paid OF with revenues from this
levy.

from 1898 to 1927.
Inspiration at Sea.
Sousa published his inspired
march, 1.-THE Stars and Stripes
Forever" in 1897. The composer
had taken a vacation in EUROPE
Ito recuperate. after a particularly
strenuous concert tour. On the
ocean voyage home q new melody
kept running through Sousa'sI
head.
Within a few days Sousa's
mental image of the music was
complete in detail and ready to-
be set down in the piano version
without alteration. Later he
wrote the band parts.
The march, as published in
1897, has run through the orig
inal 28-year copyright period and
will enter the public domain next
year when the copyright renewal
|expires.
Meanwhile, Sousa's publishers
produced the march with special
drum arrangements by August
Helmecke, a veteran of the Ma
rine Band. who later became a
bass drummer in the orchestra
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
lpany. This version was copy
righted in 1851.

A difference with the union

him $50 for not joining up while

II was too much of a Dutch
man to take anything like that"
Col. Santelmann declared. I said
to hell with the union and de-
cided to get into the Marine

But the colonel's father. ma
tive Dutchman, was running the
band. He pointed out to his son
that a violin would not carry
him in an outfit that demanded
proficiency with at least two in

The young violinist then took
Iup the double tuba. or euphoniurn.
It would be a breeze, he thonent.
Soon he asked for an addition.
His father heard him and turned

Finally Passes.
/ Col. Santelmann passed his sec

fathers footsteps.
i But the father -and-son tradi-

Virginia Group
Disagrees With
bridgeProposa|s
Now Fovors Span
Upstream Instead
Of ( Street Plan

The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning and Economic Develop
ment Commission was in disagree
ment today with the National Cap
ital Planning Council and the
Washington Regional Highway
Planning Committee over recon-
mendation for bridges. leading
into Washington.
The Regional Council three
weeks ago favored plan to con-
struct new bridges at Jones Point
below Alexandria and a central
Washington bridge in the E street
area.
Last Sunday the Highway Plan
ming Committee concurred in this
recommendation.
The Virginia group, however,
last night adopted a report favor
ing the construction of the Jones
Point bridge and bridge up
stream to connect with Nebraska
avenue. In recommending the
Nebraska bridge over the central
Washington bridge, the Virginia
commission criticized it's States
representatives on the council for
voting on the central plan without
first learning the desires of the
Virginia group. It was indicated
that Virginia members of the
council may request a rehearing
on the matter in the council.
Relief for Chain and Key Spans.
In the report by the commits
Sion's Committee on Roads and
Transportation. Philip B. Hall,
Alexandria, said the Nebraska
avenue bridge was favored because
it would attract traffic from and
provide relief for both Chain and
Key bridges.
He said this bridge also would
provide a more direct route from,
Government installations IN near.
by Maryland to homes in Virginia.
THE northern section of Arling-
ton County" Mr.. Hall said, sis the
only large undeveloped area, and
this bridge could be expected to be
used by new residents in this area
as well as by residents of West
Falls Church and other rapidly
expanding areas in Fairfax
County.
This bridge. like the one at
Jones Point. would be an integral
part Of an intermediate ring which
would service as a traffic diSsipa-
tor and bypass of the central
ares OF Washington. :
Mr.. Hall said The cominitte6 felt
that a central Washington bridge
should be deferred until the i'm
pact and the pattern 81 the Jones
Point and Nebraska avenue
bridges could be felt in the CEN
trail district of the city.
Arlington Needs Cited.
&C. Stoneburner, Arlington
County highway director, speak
ing in favor Of the construction
of a central Washington bridge,
said the greatest need is to get
traffic through Arlington County.
Mr.. Stoneburner said central
bridge would utilize the two exist
ing through highways-Arlington
boulevard and Shirley highway.
He said both of these highways
are capable of carrying about 3d.
600 additional vehicles per day.
The county highway director
said that Yorktown drive would
have to be considerably improved
in order to meet requirements as
a bridge-access road.
John Nolen. jr.. director of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission. showed charts of traffic
flow into Washington from Vir-
ginia. These charts indicated
that over 40 per cent of traffic
now being shunted through the
central Washington area is des-
tined for other points in Wash
