To S1.S9 As Council
Approves Budget
By ChorIes [. Hoffman

Suburban Montgomery County
residents today get a 32.5 cent
cut in real estate taxes, while
rural residents receive a 21-cent
reduction.
The new general county tax
rate is just short of $1.89-a cent
lower than the rate recon-
mended by former County Man
ager Irving G. McNayr. The old
rate was $2.10.
Suburban residents also re-
ceived a Scent slash in the old
15-cent suburban district tax
rate and a SIS cent cut in the
16-cent rate supporting the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
The new rates are 8 cents and
4U.O CcI1LS, respectively.
$26,S58,0O9 Budget.
The tax reductions were voted
yesterday as the county council
adopted a record $26,858, ,009
operating and capital budget for
fiscal 1854.
The budget was adopted over
the bitter objection of the county
School Board and Councilman
Lathrop E. Smith. Both scored
it as highly inadequate.
Tax rate reductions will be felt
by farmers and businessmen
whose new tax bills should be
some 10 per cent lower than last
years. Their properties were not
reasSesSed this year.
Higher tax bills. however, are
in store for the average suburban
homeoWner.
The combined cuts amounted
to about IS per cent of the old
rates. Recent reassessments in
the down-county area however,
increased the valuations there
about IS per cent, according to
Acting Finance Director Newton
Butts.

those for special taxing areas

yond any question by their rec
ord during World War II.

tional committeeman from Ha-
waii. told the committee yes
terday assertions that Commu-
nists have captured control of

WHAT PRICE POLITICS

PRICE POLITICS
SENATOR ROBERT A, TAFT is dead. According to
political analysts, his demise is going to pose no end Of diff
cplties for the Republican Party. Some have even gone, 50 far
as to predict that the late Senator cannot be replaced. If this
be true, what then?
UNIVERSALLY respected as a great American, acknow-
lodged power behind the throne" Mi. Taft was born with
politics IN his blood. Descending from a long line of diplo-
mats son Of a United States President, Bob" Taft, product
Of Yale and Harvard, began his career on the ladders lowest
rung. A precinct committeeman in Cincinnati where his
family had settled after leaving New England, he forged d-
lgentIy ahead to finally become a member of the Ohio LIE
gislature. This led to the United States Senate where he be
came a power and ultimately Senate Floor Leader.
DURING HIS fathers presidency, Bot. lived at the
White House. It was there that he met his future. wife, Mar
tina Bowers, daughter Of his. fathers Solicitor General. His
cherished ambition to become United States President is I'M
derstandable. Determined to emulate his successful father,
persistently and stubbomly he put forth desperate effort to
accomplish his aims, even disregarding the danger Of split
ting his party to which he was alegedly Loyalty devoted. In
1886 the Senator was Ohios efavorite son candidate for the
Republican nomination for President. In sl94O, one of the
partyis leading contender for nomination, Wendell Wilke
dashed the Ohioan's hopes. Dewey was his nemesis in 1913
and in spite Of a vigorously conducted campaign in the So
nominations, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was best man and

WHAT ADvERSE fate stalked his every attempt? What
sinister force persistently robbed this deserving man Of the
one honor he desiredP Eulogzed as having been loyal to-
fault, clear in thought and sincere in his convictions, Senator
Taft was a man whoghad profound faith in the ultimate vic
tory of right and righteousness. Although blunt of speech,
he possessed A deep and abiding belief in his God. He loved
his wife and four sons dearly, He believed in the freedom
