ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. ia
The Finance Committee of the
Maryland Senate paradoxically
has decided that Gov. McKeldin
cut the University of Maryland
budget too hard
The committee, which Is
powerless to increase the Gov
errors budget--it can only trim
it~-stated that it will ask the
Governor to restore about $4,000
to raise salaries of university
hospital interns and Medical
College faculty members.
The Governor cuStomarily
sends the Legislature a supple
mental budget before the close
Of the session, outlining last
minute recommendations for adj
ditions or deletions. The only
way the Legislature legally can
add money to the Governors
proposed appropriations is to get
him to put it in his supplemental
budget.
Acting President Explains.
The Finance Committee de-
cided to ask for the restoration
of about $4,000, after Acting
University President T. B. Sy-
mons and his staff appeared here
yesterday to explain the univer-
sity's budget for House and Sem
ate committees. The dean of
the Medical College and the di-
rector of the hospital, both To-
Gated in Baltimore. testified the
extremely low salaries they
must pay will force many ex-
perienced persons to seek jobs
with other institutions.
When Committee Chairman
Louis L. Goldstein asked why
the Governor had cut out these
"meager but important requests, p"
State Budget Director James G.
Rennie said the university had
not labeled them essential" but
only desirable" The Governor
had only allowed essential in
creases in his tight budget, Mr..
Rennie added.
The Governors proposed 1898
million budget for the next fiscal
year includes 1854 million for
the university. an increase of
about $359,000 over the current
appropriation.
Cuts Called Typical.
DR.. Symons told the commit
tee the deans and department
heads asked an increase of about
$2.4 million. The Board of Re
gents cut that to an 1851 900
increase and the Governor cut
it still futher to 1888, 900. he said.

Bill for Extra Judges
In House for Action;
Bars Stanley Choice
BY q s.e4 cerr..pend.nt Of The s,e,

BY Sfotf Correspondent OF The Stos
RICHMOND. Feb. l8.-Legis-
lation to give areas next to
Washington two additional Cir
cult Court judges has been pried
out of committee and was be-
fore the House of Delegates
today.
A last minute amendment
would prevent Gov Stanley. who
lost the area in last years pri-
mary and general election. from
making the appointments. An
emergency clause was tackled on
so the bill would be effective
upon passage, thereby opening
the way for the General Assem-
bly, to elect the judges before
adjournment on March 10.
This Immediately brought spec
ulation as to who the new judges
would be-
In the 35th Circuit of Airing
ton. most frequently mentioned
for the post is George Damn. 2
popular member of the House OF
Delegates from Arlington until
he decided not to seek re-elec-
ton last fall. Also frequently
mentioned for the Arlington post
is Emery Hosmer. well-known
Arlington attorney who has
served as judge protein and as
commissioner in chancery for
many years. The circuit now
has two judges.
Speculation Over Vacancy.
Speculation over a vacancy in
the 10th Circuit, embracing
Fairfax. Alexandria, Falls Church
and Prince William. centers
chiefly on former Trial Justice
| Harry Carrico of Fairfax and
Robert j. McCandlish. jr., for
mer member of the House Of
Delegates from Fairfax.
The name of Alexandria Civil
and Police Court Judge James
M. Duncan also has been heard.
This is because the present two
judges. Paul Brown and Arthur
w. Sinclair, come from Fairfax
and Prince William Counties.
respectively. Some Of Judge
Duncan's friends took the posi-
ton that Alexandria should have
the third place.
Meanwhile. legislation au-
thorizing Arlington and Wash
ington Counties to impose local
sales taxes was literally snow
balling. The Washington County
bill was up for passage by the
Senate yesterday. but in the rush
by other Senators to extend its
application to their own counties,
the measure finally was side
tracked and carried over until
today. AS Of yesterday, amend
ments adding eight other coun-
ties were offered. and there are
reports that about 40 will be
added in the House
This situation has caused
alarm to some. including Chair
man Robert o. Norris of the
Senate Finance Committee, who
anticipates the time when more
than half the SO counties will
come under provisions Of the bill.
In such event. Mr.. Norris fears,
it would be impossible to get
representatives Of these counties
to give up this lucrative source
of revenue so that State could
impose sales tax.
Fenwick Bill Returned.
Meanwhile, the Fenwick bill
to provide for a referendum
that would give the county board
authority to levy a sales tax has
escaped amendments so far for
the reason that it was delayed
earlier in the week by being sent
back to committee. Mr.. Norris
had the bill recommitted so the
whole question of policy could
be considered. The bill now is
back on the floor again.

Underground Storage
To Reduce Gas Rates,
Official Testifies
BY d StoFf Correspondent Of The S,or

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. ia bill
before the Maryland Legislature
to allow gas companies to store
natural gas in vast underground
reservoirs would mean cheaper
rates to consumers and would
relieve gas shortages in the
Washington area.
That's what Howard B. Noyes,
vice president of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. told the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee here
yesterday.
The company, through bill
introduced here by Senators j.
Raymond Fletcher, Republican.
of Prince Georges, and AnderS
r. Lofstrand. jr., Republican, of
Montgomery, is seeking author
ity to condemn subsurface land
interests.
The gas would be stored in
reservoirs at least 500 feet below
the surface.
Safeguards Contemplated.
Mr.. Noyes said the company
probably would seek these
storage plots in Southern Mary
land, if the legislation becomes
law.
Under heavy questioning by
Senators Paul Bailey, Republi-
can, of St. Marys, and Louis
Phipps, Democrat, of Anne Arun-
del, Mr.. NoyeS said the bill would
provide numerous safeguards to
owners whose subsurface land
would be condemned.
AS in all utility cases, he said,
the Public Service Commission
would have to approve the prof.
ect. Any oil or other marketable
deposits found by the gas COM
pany would belong to the land
owner.
Other witnesses testified that
the underground gas would not
affect the quality of water there
because the gas and water would
not mix.
Annual ReasSeSsment Bill.
Meanwhile, in other develop
ments as the Legislature reached
the halfway point in its 30-day
session, IL Senators Joined in
sponsoring a bill to provide for
annual property reassesSments in
Maryland, effective July /, 1855.
Among the II sponsors were
Senators Fletcher and Lofstrand.
The House Rules Committee
revealed that it would not re-
port out a bill by Delegate
Jerome Robinson. Democrat, of
Baltimore, to restrict the powers
of the Maryland Board of Movie
Censors. The bin would have
allowed the censors to ban
movies only on the ground that
they are obscene.
Coop Tax Killed.
The House Ways and Means
Committee virtually killed a bill
by Delegates Robert A. Wallace
and Julian p. King, Republicans,
Of Montgomery, to tax the divi-
dends of co-operativeS.
A measure to give county as
SCISSORS a 5000 annual salary in
crease had a rough time in the
Senate yesterday. The Finance
Committees favorable report on
the bill was adopted, 10 to Z,
over the objections of Senator
John G. Turnbull. Democrat, of
Baltimore County. who COM
planned that the Legislature will
never get the budget under
control if it keeps on passing
these pay raise bills"

LEGISLATORS to Ask McKeIdin
To Raise Maryland u. Budget

terday was on the cuts made in
the hospital and medical college
requests, University Controller
Charles Benton said they are
merely typical Of what had hap
pened in other departments.
The university representatives
were questioned sharply about
the SIS million capital i'm
provement budget for the insti-
tuition. There were indications
that the committee favored the
biggest item in this budget
100000 for a new Journalism
building-but some committee
members privately questioned the
need for a new 100000 admin
istration annex building
None of the lawmakers asked
the question that many of them
admitted was on their minds.
So reporters did it Tor them.
Concerns Byrd's Salary.
The question concerned politi-
cally inspired criticism of the
S22 500 salary Dr.. H. c. Byrd
president emeritus of the uni
versity and candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, is receiving this year to
advise DR.. SymonS and write a
history of the university.
There have been rumors here
that DR.. Byrd would turn down
the salary, decided for him. by
the Board of Regents. shortly
before he resigned on January 2.
DR.. Symons said he had heard
the rumors. but all he could say
at this time is that he under
stands DR.. Byrd will make a
statement on that subject to the
regents at their meeting on
March IL.
Supporters of George P.
Mahoney, DR.. Byrd's opponent in
the June % Democratic primary
election, have criticized the
salary, which shows up in the
budget as presidents salary"
DR.. Symons said his $4,000
salary will be paid out of the
$4,000 contingency fund.
