Awards CITY
For Traffic
Enforcement

Another honor has come to East
Cleveland Police Department, the
secon' for 1852 achievements. The
city has received Honorable Men
tion IN the annual competition for
awards presented by the lnterna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice for outstanding work in the
traffic law enforcement field.
The first honor was first place
in cities of its class for traffic
safety in 1852.
The traffic enforcement awards
are based on the evaluation of en-
forcement reports in the associa-
tion's inventory of traffic safety
activities.
Among the top winners are such
large cities as Los Angeles, Cal;
Washington, D. c.; Dallas, Tex,
and Toronto, Canada.
HONORABLE MENTION
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
and Lieut.. Charles Vyse and Lieut..
Pat O'Malley of the Traffic Divi-
sion, are following a strict en-
forcement program in all traffic
violations booked. In this effort
TO maintain a high traffic safety
record, the department has the
backing of Municipal Judge STAN
ton Adams.
Special attention is being given
10 those violations which tend to
be the cause of most accidents.
The program is already showing
results. There is decrease in the
number of repeat" violators being
booked, and a steady increase in
the number of violators being
brought in. Enforcement always
follows.
The city's new 7-lane traffic map
for Euclid ave. traffic is meeting
with favorable response from
motorists. The new system, calls
for cleft turn" lane at crucial
traffic intersections from Lakeview
I'd. to Ivanhoe rd.
Added arrows on traffic light
signals and large arrows painted
on the streets approaching the
intersection, direct the position for
a safe left turn. In the meanwhile
through traffic flows are now held
up by the left-turning vehicle.
The new traffic safety islands
at Forest Hills blvd. and Noble
I'd. are also proving a wise proce-
dure.
Motorists holding traffic tickets
issued by the Department, and
failing to come voluntarily and
settle with Clerk James Blair of
the Municipal Court, are finding
themselves being nudged to do so.
Patrolman William DeForde is con-
ducting one-man campaign
against the delinquents. He has
brought in about 80 of them with
in the past two months. One fell
low had collected nine traffic
tickets for one violation or an
other. He is, however, the big ex-
eeption. Three is the usual high.

Remember.
No Fireworks
"No fireworks"

ANO no.
This is the reminder repeated
this week by Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver. He urges parents to re-
frain from securing fireworks for
their children and reminds them
that the use of fireworks in Ohio
is a state regulation. East Cleve-
land has an ordinance prohibiting
the use of fireworks, as well.
Naturally, regulations cover sales
to individuals.
The heavy toll to children in ac-
cidents and fatal casualties,
brought about the regulation. "For
safety's sake, observe it," pleads
Chief Weaver.

Maryland Rejects
Endorsement Of 25%
Ceiling on U. 5. Take,
By q stoff Correspondent Of The stor


ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 5.-Mary-
land has thrown it's weight
against the once-booming drive
among the 48 States to put a
Is per cent ceiling on Federal
income taxes.
The Maryland Senate. by a
voice vote. yesterday rejected a
resolution calling on Congress
to call a constitutional conven-
ton to effect the Is per cent
limitation.
Thus Maryland became the
26th State to defeat the proposed
amendment, inspired by the
privately financed American
Taxpayers Association of Chi
cago. At one time, as many as
% States had approved the
measure, but that number had
dwindled to IL as of last month,
an Associated Press survey
showed. It would take 80 States
to force Congress to call a con-
stitutional convention.
Sees Others PenaIized.
The Maryland Senate's un-
favorable action came after
Democratic Majority Leader
Louis L. Goldstein declared that
the Is per cent ceiling would
benefit only those making over
$500 a week. The lower income
groups would have to make up
the loss, he said, either through
higher income taxes or some
thing like a national sales tax.
IF this measure were put into
effect" he shouted, lit would
mean a SIG billion savings to l
per cent of our population-the
millionaires."
II don't like to pay taxes" he
added. but we've got to pay them
to preserve our way of life and
our Government"
The Senate Finance Commit
tee, of which Mr.. Goldstein of
Calvert County is chairman. had
returned an unfavorable report
on the resolution by an 11-2 vote.
OvertaxatiOn Hit.
The measure was supported by
Senator Hubert P. Barton, Dem
ocrat, of Baltimore City. He said,
"This is not a rich mans amend
ment; this is a pauper'S resolu-
ton"
"By failing to adopt it," he de-
clared, I'VE are saying that a
person who is born poor must
remain poor and die poor"
He contended that "our land
of opportunity is fast fading" be-
cause overtaxation is sitting

Sponsors of the resolution were
Senators Monroe. Republican, of
Charles County; Fraley. Repub-
lican, of Garrett County; Turn

lican, Of Somerset County, and

BY Stoff Correspondent Of The Star

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 5.-A bill
to provide a referendum on 8
10-cent fire tax in the Kent Dis
trict of Prince Georges County
today was being readied for in

ceive full benefit Of the pro-
posed tax.
On the basis of this years
assessment figures, County
Treasurer Julian B. Mckay
said a fire tax of 10 cents on
each 500 Of property assess
ment in the Kent District would
bring in an annual total OF
about $4,000. The district in
cludes the communities of Kent
Village. Keptland and Largo
among others.
Under the bill, a special ref
erendum would be held in the
district on the proposed levy the
first Monday of November. 1858
The 10-cent tax would be in
line with most special fire taxes
in the county. The full benefit
Of the levy would go to the
Kentland department but would
be shared with any new de-
partments formed and accredited
in the district.
