that nobody has all of these ideal qualities
and you're right. You don't and neither do
your friends. Neither of you should expect
the other to be perfect, although, of course,
to you, your friends good points outweigh
his faults Friendship always involves two
people, with certain amount of give and
take. For it to be satisfying to both parties,
each must get something from the other.
And even if'you have all the ingredients
for good friendship, there will be ups and
downs. But you can learn to keep the downs
at a minimum and to administer first aid
when they occur. If the friendship means
something to you, it's worth the trouble.

How To KEEP FRIENDS
by william c. Menninger, Md.

Are you trustworthy? This means keeping
condolences, and it also means your friend
can rely upon you to do what you said you'd
do even if you decide at the last minute
that you don't want to.
Consideration is essential in friendship.
You wouldn't tell casual acquaintance that
dress or hair-do is ugly. It's even more i'm
portant that you don't use such tactics with
a friend. Are you trying to build the person
up or tear him down? If it's the latter, you're
not his friend. If you have something to say,
say it kindly and only if you can help. If you
slip, apologize - without being asked
1 OUR friend doesn't have to agree with you
about everything. Let him have his own
opinions, and keep yours too.
Just as a violinist has to have an aptitude
for music, you have to have the aptitude to
be friend - you must have the capacity to
love. This means the ability to feel genuine
affection for someone and the capacity of
giving sympathy and understanding, of being
able to feel the other PERSONS joys and sor-
rows as we'll as your own. Are you sincerely

same category - attaching themselves to

BEING friend isn't like turning a water
faucet off or on. If you're friend, you're one
whether you re with the person or not. When
he's in trouble, you come to his assistance
without being asked, and you don't say any
thing behind his back that you wouldn't say
to his face.

Friendship needs tending.
Here are some fresh angles
from a noted psychiatrist

AN OLD Roman general used to complain
IA that men were more careful about all
other things than their friendships. And l
think he was right. There's more than chance
involved in choosing and keeping real friends
And in being one. First of ALL it important
to know what makes up good friendship
Everyone knows people who always seem
to be acting, to be trying to appear some
thing they're not. They want to make good
impression, no. matter what. The result is
that they can't really make friends because
they don't let anyone find out what they
actually think or are. This point boils down
to being honest with yourself. If you are,
you'll represent yourself honestly to Others
You mean what you say and do.
Sincerity also involves being honest in
ones motives for friendship. If you're more
interested in Harry's car than in him, you're

not really his friend. You're using
him. If you like being out with
good-looking girl because people
turn around and stare, you're using
her too. Social climbers fit into the

IS Per Cent Tax Cut
Likely for Maryland
As Revenues Rise
By q stuff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 18.-Mary-
land taxpayers today were vir-
tually assured of a Is per cent
cut in their State income taxes
this year.
Gov. McKeldin informed the
General Assembly yesterday that
the Board Of Revenue Estimates
has raised it's estimates of an
ticipated State revenues for next
fiscal year by about $5.3 million.
And. the Governor said, the
board recommends that the
same Is per cent income tax cut
given last year be granted to
taxpayers again on tax reports
due April Is.
The board also recommends
that $1.1 million of the antici-
pated surplus be transferred to
the annuity bond account so
that the State real estate tax for
the next fiscal year will have
to be increased only to 9.29 cents
for each 500 of assessment, in
stead of to 1929 cents, as pro-
posed in the Governors budget
originally. The State real estate
tax now stands at 6 cents.
Bills introduced.
AS the Governors letter was
being read to both houses of the
General Assembly, bills were in
troduced in the Senate and
House to grant the IS per cent
income tax reduction.
AS the drive for inome tax
cuts gained momentum, State
Senator Harry F. Byrd, jr., of
Virginia told the Senate Finance
Committee about the automatic
tax reduction system operating
in his State.
Senator Byrd, who came here
at the invitation of IL Senators
sponsoring legislation to adapt
the Byrd automatic tax cut plan
TO Maryland, said the Virginia
program is sound in principle
and has tended ''to apply the
brakes to public spending"
Under the Virginia plan, tax
reductions are granted auto
matically when State surpluses
reach a certain point.
Would Check on Surplus.
''It would end the practice Of
using surplus funds to balance
the budget" declared Senator
Bernard S. Melnicove, Democrat.
OF Baltimore. another sponsor.
Senator Turnbull disclosed at
the hearing that a bill is being
prepared to put Maryland's cap
ital improvements program on a
pay-as-you-go basis. He made
that remark after Senator Byrd
told the Senator'S Virginia, in
effect. has no bonded indebted

Sanitary Unit Questions
Tax Cancellation Plan

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission has ques-
toned the right Of the Prince
Georges County commissioners
to cancel delinquent taxes prior
to 1850 on "a pieces Of property
so they can be offered at a tax
sale.
The total amount Of taxes is
more than the actual value Of
the land and buyers have been
wanting. Last month the COM
missioners voted to cancel the
Indebtedness assessed before
1850 in order to make the prop
critics more attractive at an auc-
ton March 2 at the courthouse
at Upper Marlboro.
Yesterday, however, County
Treasurer Julian B. Mckay re-
ported to the commissioners that
the sanitary commission believes
it would be illegal for the COM
mission to waive its past taxes
for water and sewer services.
The commissioners asked their
attorney, c. Calvert Lancaster.
to study the matter and report

He said he is not criticlzlng

Deficit Of S37S,291
Facing taxpayers
In Calvert County
By J. l. MichoeI
Stor Stoff Correspondent

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
Feb. 18.-Taxpayers of Calvert
County-the smallest in Mary
land-today faced the prospect
of making up a $37S,292 deficit
in school funds.
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr.,
State superintendent of schools,
disclosed that a joint audit by
State and county officials shows
the school system has an oper-
ating deficit of $205, ,942 and a
deficiency of $172.350 in its con-
struction fund account.
After comforting here yester-
day with the County Commits
sioners, William R. Hughes, the
county school superintendent
for more than 20 years, and a
group of businessmen, DR.. Pull
len said:
There is not a scintilla of
evidence Of dishonesty or
fraud"
Faulty Procedure Cited.
Rather, he said, it is a case of
the School Boards accounting
system and general procedure
being faulty. Funds from vari-
Gus sources. he said, were placed
in one account with the result
that money intended for one
purpose had been spent for an
other.
For example, he said, $4,000
more than was appropriated had
been spent for maintenance.
Admittedly, the situation is
grave in the little county that
extends along Chesapeake Bays
Western Shore and contains such
well-known summer resorts as
Breezy Point, Plum Point and
Chesapeake Beach. A large num-
ber of Washington area residents
own summer cottages along the
beaches.
The county has a population
of about $4,000 and q taxable
base Of $14 million. It already
had an Indebtedness Of about 81
million.
The seriousness of the situa-
ton was pointed up by the COM
missioners who said that If it
were necessary to make up the
deficit this year, the present $1.96
tax rate would have to be ad-
vanced to nearly IS.
The present tax rate would
produce about $273. 800 a year
from real estate levy.
Meanwhile. the county's mem
bers of the General Assembly
were working on two new laws
resulting from the situation here.
Yesterday, Delegates James
Hance and John w. Hall spon-
sored a bill to give the Calvert
County commissioners authority
to make an annual audit of the
school boards accounts. State
Senator Louis Goldstein said to-
day he was having a bill pre-
pared that would apply to all
counties and will require school
boards to maintain separate ac-
counts Of their construction and
operating funds. This, he said,
was at the suggestion of DR.. |
Pullen.

Legislator Suggests
SobeIoff Stoff Is
Suppressine Study
By Gene Goodwin
Star Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 18.-State
Senator Anders r. Lofstrand, jr.,
Republican, Of Montgomery
County, said today he has been
reliably informed" Of the ex-
istence of a second Sobeloff Com
mission report on the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
The second report, Mr.. Lof-
strand said, recommends not
only that the planning agency
be continued but that its juris-
diction be expanded.
A preliminary draft of a Sobe-
loft Commission study, highly
critical of the planning agency.
was released yesterday by Dele
gate j. Douglas Bradshaw. chair
man Of the all-Republican Mont
gomery delegation here. Mr..
Bradshaw is q supporter Of leg
islation now before the General
Assembly to abolish the planning
commission and transfer its
functions to Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
: Releases Letter.
Senator Lofstrand, who has
been opposing such a move, re-
leased the letter he has written
to Enos Stockbridge, now chair
man Of the so-called Sobeloh
Commission for reorganization
of the State government.
DR.. Stockbridge emphatically
denied that there is any second
report on the planning commits
sion. He said he turned over to
Mr.. Bradshaw all the inforn1a-
ton his commission had on the
planning agency except some
correspondence which had little
bearing on the report. DR..
Stockbridge was here to testify
before the Senate judiciary
Committee on a Sobelof Com
mission bill to grant more home
rule to counties.
The letter states:
''I am reliably informed that
a second draft report on the
same subject, recommending,
among other things, continuance
of the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commis-
sion and expansion of its juris-
diction, has been prepared by
the same staff member after
further study and that it is now

Suspects Suppression.
"While assume that you are

ence of this second report, have
reason to believe that this may
be due to an effort on the part
of your staff director to suppress
it,"
The staff director Of the COM
mission is DR.. Elwyn A. Mauck.
The staff member who made the
commission study released yes
terday by Mr.. Bradshaw is Rich
ard B. Andrews, who has since
resigned from the study group.

ter demanded that the alleged
second report be delivered to him

Maryland Adoption
Move Threatens D. {.
Foster-Home Plan

A Prince Georges County
Circuit Judge has been asked to
determine whether the county or
the District has jurisdiction over
foster children placed in the
county by the District Board of
Public Welfare.
The decision may alter radi-
cally the boards foster home pol
icy and may determine whether
the 800 foster children placed in
Maryland homes will be returned
to the District.
After arguments in the case in
Upper Marlboro yesterday, Judge
Charles C. Marbury asked op-
posing attorneys to submit briefs
before he decides the case.
The dispute arose after Mr..
and Mrs. George j. Barthel of
College Park, filed a petition
last July, seeking to adopt the
4-year-oid boy Donny placed
with them q year before by the
board.
Mutual Devotion.
The couple say they have be-
come very attached to the child
and he is devoted to them.
The board is willing to con-
slider approving adoption of fos-
ter children by county parents.
Blair H. Smith, attorney for the
District said, but only after thor
ough investigation and only in
a District court. The attorney
represented Vernon E. West,
District corporation counsel.
The board pays $45 a month
for care of each child placed un-
der the program, and asks the
foster parents to treat the child
as if he were their own.
Not long after Donny came to-
live with the Barthels, they be-
came attached to him and he
grew fond of them, the adoption
petition says.
Court Order Obtained.
When they asked the board
about adopting Donny, the board
obtained an order from Judge
Edith H. Cockrill of District
Juvenile Court giving the board
custody Of the child, according
to the Prince Georges adoption
petition.
In launching court action in
the county on July 81, the couple
asserted that the board had
threatened to remove the child
from their home without per-:
mitting them to adopt him.
Judge Marbury, at that time,
enjoined the board from remov-
ing the child from his new home
in the county until the case could
be heard.
Attorneys for the couple, Will
ton H. Wallace Of the District,
and w Carroll Beatty of Hyatts-
vile. said it would be disastrous
for the child to move him now.
The Barthels have modern,
comfortable home and have a
combined income of $4,000,
according to the suit.
Jurisdiction Challenged,
The whereabouts of the boys
parents are unknown, the petit
ton says
The board contends Donny is
legally domiciled in the Dis
trict and that the courts of Mary
land have no jurisdiction to reg
ulate his adoption.
The presence of the child in
Maryland. Mr.. Smith said, is
solely by virtue of a written
contract between the board and
the foster parents. This con-
tract includes a provision that
the board can terminate the
agreement at any time and re-
move the child from the foster
parents, the District contends.
Mr.. Smith said that if the
court determines that the Col
lege Park couple may legally
adopt Donny. the Board Of Pub
lie Welfare may have to revise

THOUGH the Passion Plays message Is the
j same for pious people everywhere, its
performance varies sharply from country to
country and nowhere does local custom affect
the drama more than in San Carlos, Nicaragua.
On the unpayed streets Of this isolated Central
American town, the story is re-enacted with
curious mixture Of Biblical devoutness and
tropical festivity
Put on primarily by the young people of
San Carlos, the scenes and principal actors
are well rehearSed. But as the somber pro-
cession Of the Cross wends its way through
every street in town, the activity halts at
various points along the route. At these
stopping places, costumed citizens not directly
involved in the play make long speeches and
act out special scenes Of their devising, which
though reverent in meaning, have little or no
connection with the Biblical events. These
Evening star., 1953-04-05

sidelights stretch out the performance to
several hours duration!
Originally, the Passion Play actors Of San
Carlos were so poor they pressured the towns
more substantial citizens to get money for
their costumes and props Nowadays, however,
the custom Is to borrow everything from
cows to houseboats before Easter and then
to offer them for sale to the true owners
for what is generally described as a "contribu-
ton" to the play fund.
Observers who have watched the full cere-
mony believe that the combination Of real
religious fervor and frivolous sidelights is due
to the poverty and isolation Of San Carlos
townspeople and their lack of formal religious
training. To be success by local standards,
the Passion Play has to satisfy the need for
pious expression, for dramatic art and gay
public holiday, all rolled into one.
