NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Ford-
ham breezed to its sixth straight
basketball triumph and 14th in
Is starts last night in walloping
Georgetown University, 68-51, to-
night before about $500 fans at
the Bronx School.
Big Ed Conlin again was the
driving force as Coach Johnny
Bach'S Rams rolled to victory.
He became the fourth player in
Fordham basketball history to
score more than 1000 points in
his collegiate career. The high
scoring star from Brooklyn
tapped one in 3 minutes and 81
seconds after play started to top
the 1000 mark by a point. Con-
lin then went on to rack up 20
more to lead the scoring.
With Georgetown coming to
town with an injury and exam
riddled squad. the surprising
turnout was interested primarily
in seeing Conlin take his place
alongside Gerry Smith, Fred
Christ and Bill Carlson, former
Rams with more than 1000
points to their credit.
AL Larkin, Ed ParchinSki and
Don Lyons led the Rams to 60
lead in the opening minutes as
Conlin missed on his first two
attempts from the floor after
entering the game with 500
points. Then. in a scramble
under the basket. Ed tapped the
ball through the net and the
crowd went wild. The game was
halted while the big fellow was
presented with the ball that
meant point No. 1,001 for him.
Fordham's steady attack car
ried it to 1921 lead at the half
and opened up a 20-point gap at

Move 10 Boost
Race BET Tax
Delegates Proposal
For IS Per Cent Cut
Termed Dangerous
By the Assoe,o.ed pre.s

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Gov.
McKeldin said today it would be
dangerous to increase Maryland's
tax on horse race betting.
The formal statement from the
Republican Governor was his
first shot in what promises to be-
come a lively exchange over taxes
with the Democrat-controlled
General Assembly now in session.
The suggestion for boosting the
States take on race track betting
came earlier this week from De-
legate A. Gordon Boone. Balti-
more County Democrat.
The Governor presented a
1898 million budget to the Cen
eral Assembly when it convened
Wednesday for its 30-day session.
1t was a balanced budget, as
the law requires, but some DEM
ocrats yelled foul" because Of
one of its provisions.
Switches Utility Collection.
In order to get IS. l91 .348 to
make the budget balance. Gov.
McKeldin proposed to collect the
gross receipts tax on utilities,
transportation companies and
trust companies in June. 1865.
instead of August. This would
make the income from the tax
apply to the 1855 budget. now
under consideration. instead Of
1856.
Unless the Democrats agree to
the idea, they are faced with the
necessity of raising other taxes
or pruning about SIS million from
the Governors budget.
So Boone suggested that the
State get 30 cents out of each 81
bet at the race tracks instead of
cor Is per cent instead of
10.
Gov. McKeldin said:
Il am opposed to any tam
pering with the tax rate struc-
ture.
The proposal to increase the
tax on race track wagering is
particularly Objectionable and.
indeed. dangerous. There is no
assurance it would raise the rev.
enue its sponsor has estimated.
We would be faced with the
possibility of a deficit.
1.-THE Board of Revenue Esti-
mates already has estimated a
drop of S per cent in the average
daily wagering for fiscal 1855.
1t has cut the estimate of wager
ing revenue from $3.290.000 to
$3.188.OO0.
With a so per cent increase
in the take from such betting,
many Of the bettors would be in
clined to concentrate their &C
Invites at tracks outside Mary
land. There also would be an
increase in illegal, off track bet
ting"
Collection Date Logical
McKeldin said it would be
particularly unwise" to substi-
tute an increase in betting taxes
for the shift he proposed in the
date for collecting the gross re-
ceipts tax.
He said moving the date up is
something that logically could
have been done. and probably
should have been done. when the
States fiscal year was changed
from one ending September 30
to one ending June 3d."
The Governor went on:
Those who choose to call the
administrations program by such
names as 'phony bookkeeping,
'unsound financing a trick.
and so on, are disappearing
the facts and seeking to confuse
the public.
"A bill which was introduced
by the Speaker of the House in
the 1858 session carried a similar
provision to restore the collec-
ton of the tax, as applied to
railroads, to a current fiscal

A. If a glossy finish is desired a

When ordinary paste wax is tc

@. We have q garage home
built on a concrete slab and
have covered the floor with as
phalt tile. The asphalt cement
keeps oozing out between the
squares in some places. espe-
cially where the chairs are
placed. Gould you tell me what
could be done to stop this con-
dition?
A. Evidently you were over
jealous in doing the job and
used too much asphalt cement.
When pressure is applied on the
surface of the tile. the excess
cement oozes through the joints.
The only remedy is to take up
the tiles and scrape of some of
the excess cement. Your tile
dealer should be able to supply
you with a special type of clean
err for the removal Of the ad-
heSive from the surfaces Of the
tiles.
Smoothing Rough Plaster.
@. I would like to paint two
bedrooms. which presently have
plastered walls of rough texture,
and far too rough to paint. How
can I make them smooth
enough?
A. It all depends upon the de-
gree of roughness. If the plas-
ter is only slightly rough, you
can smooth it sufficiently by
rubbing 1t with sandpaper
wrapped around a block of wood.
Very rough plaster will have to
be rubbed similarly with coarse
sandpaper. to take off the major
bumps, and then all indenta-
tions can be filled, and the sur
face made sufficiently smooth
with Spackle spread with a ma
sons trowel.
Wall-tO-Wall Carpeting.
@. I am planning to put wall
to-wall broadloom carpeting in
our living room. The present floor
is in squares Of parquet, and is
in pretty fair shape, although
one or two boards are a little
loose and there is a general I'M
eveneSs over all. What is your
recommendation as to the best
way to prepare the floor for
longest wear from the carpet,
and should I use felt or sponge
rubber undercarpeting?
A. First, the floor should be as
level and smooth as you can
make it. All loose boards should
be securely nailed, with the nails
driven in at an angle so that
they won't work loose. The nails
should be counterSunk. If the
floor is uneven it would be best
to have it smoothed with a sand
ing machine. and q coat of shell
