TeIefiIm Firm in a Switch,
Turns to Radio Programs
By Horny Macarthur

Trend-spotters can make what
they will of the latest move by
Guild Films and you can be sure
some one will make something
of it. There is a great deal Of
activity in the telef1lm trade
right now and none of it is more
interesting than what Guild is
up to. 1t is pulling the switch of
the year. or at least the switch
Of mid-April, 1854.
Guild was organized about a
year and half ago for the ex-
press purpose of producing and
distributing television films. So
far it can boast of the Liberace
show, Life With Elizabeth" and
Joe Palooka," though there are
some who would question how
warranted some of the boaSting
is. 1t has signed a number of
other people for telefilm shows.
including the matinee idol-vio-
linist, Florian ZaBach.
Now, however. Guild has sud-
denly turned in its tracks. 1t
has formed a special division to
produce and distribute package
shows for radio. The principal
reason is that Reub Kaufman,
president of Guild, has spotted
an inSistent demand from radio
stations and sponsors. These
feel that women in Monty areas
should not be denied the joy of
weekly communing with Liberace
simply because of unfortunate
geographical and economic cir
cumstanceS.
Liberace unseen will be the
first Guild radio series and Mr..
Kaufman expects other shows
to follow.
SONGS, TOO-One Of these
above radio programs might be
q new frankie Laine show some
day. Guild has just added the
singer to its musical roster
headed by Liberace and Mr.. Ia
Bach. The Laine program will
be half-hour musical revue. In
it the singer will be surrounded
by elaborate musical acts. with
many featured dancers and other
top musical talent"
Guild plans to start shooting
soon and hopes to have the
"pilot" film ready next month.
The series is expected to be
ready for release by September l.
The signing of Mr.. Laine was
accelerated by the response
Guild had to its announcement
of the forthcoming zaBach
series. Within two weeks after
that, more than 100 inquiries
from prospective sponsors had
been received.
\ \ X y
NORMAL TREND-The radio
to-TV trend which Guild re-
versed is still operating, to be
sure. At NBC it is represented
right now by at least two projects
of the networks film division,
"Inner Sanctum" and "The Ad-
ventures of the Falcon" both

AS matter of fact, that
famous creaking door has closed
on the final half-hour film of

New Bill Would Defer
Higher Auto Tag Cost
Until April Of 1856
By Gene Goodwin
Sior StaH Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 17.-Mary-
land motorists may not have to
pay more money for their IL
cense plates next year, after all.
Moves were under way today
in both the House and the Sem
ate of the Maryland Legislature
to postpone for another year
the higher auto tag fees sched-
uled to take effect in the spring
of 1855.
And a House Ways and Means
Committee statement said: 1T
is our desire that this increase
should be repealed entirely" in
the next session Of the Legis-
lature.
The higher auto tag fees were
provided for in a bill passed by
the 1853 Legislature to help f.
nance the 12-year highway mod
ernization program launched by
the State Roads Commission last
month. The bill also provided
for an increase in the State gas
oline tax from 5 to 6 cents a GAL
Ion, and that went into effect
last summer.
The House Ways and Means
Committee said in its statement
yesterday that a study by the
Fiscal Research Bureau shows
gasoline tax revenues to be run
ming we'll ahead of the original
estimates"
In view of this, the committee
said, 1t has decided to introduce
a bill deferring the effective
date of the license tag increase
until April /. 1856.
Senator Frederick C. Malkus.
Democrat, of Dorchester, in a
separate action, introduced a bill
for that same purpose in the
Senate yesterday.
The House, meanwhile. wit
messed the first petitioning out
Of a bill from the Rules Com
mittee. It was the bill calling for
referendum on whether Mary
land should have convention
to revise its Anticipated consti-
tuition. The measure was brought
out on the floor and then re-
ferred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.

Arlington Sales Tax
Bills Go 10 Senate,
House for Action
By Alex R. Preston
Star Siaff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 17.-Arling-
ton sales tax bills emerged in
both branches of the General
Assembly today as other coun-
ties joined in a stampede to
amend them so they can tap
this source of revenue.
Identical bills on an Arlington
sales tax. carrying slightly diff
ferent amendments. were re-
ported yesterday by committees
of the House of Delegates and
State Senate.
The sales tax legislation Of
fered most of the Arlington
House and Senate delegation,
and a similar bill for Washing
ton County, in Southwest Vir-
GINA. was creating the most
furore here.
Fenwick Bill Reported.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee reported, for a second time.
the bill of Senator Charles r.
Fenwick which permits Airing
ton to vote on the question Of
whether the county board may
impose a sales tax. The Senate
group adopted an amendment
to rescind the levy at such time
as a Statewide sales tax might
become effective.
An identical bill, sponsored by
Delegates j, Maynard Magruder
and Kathryn Stone of Arlington,
was reported by the Counties,
Cities and Towns Committees of
the House. 1t was amended.
however. to provide that the
local sales tax would be void
one year after enactment of a
State sales tax.
40 Counties Interested.
A member of the Finance
Committee said about 40 coun-
ties were waiting for the chance
to amend the legislation when it
reaches the House.
Senator Robert o. Norris
Finance Committee chairman,
saw a danger in this. After more
than half of the counties obtain
the right to levy local sales taxes
to argument local treasures, he
said, it will be impossible to get
their representatives in the
Legislature to enact a State
sales tax.
Nevertheless. the Senate COM
mittee reported the Arlington
bill unanimously. The vote in
the House committee was 10 to 3.
Another major development
was the Finance Committees
favorable action, by vote of
Is to 6, on the administration S
1-cent gasoline tax increase.
This vote also was taken be-
hind closed doors, but reporters
who checked the roll call later
determined that Senators Fen
wick and Curray Carter of
Staunton were among those who
voted against the increase.

Doorway North

The Flathead isn't going to lick problems of its
large North Fork section by ignoring them, o.
pointing out that the district only has S3 registered
voters.
Spruce bark beetle control program resulted
in $1,0OO000 worth of road building in the area
with $506,48 in contracts for the main North Fork
road itself The spruce bark beetle salvage and con-
troll program has resulted in over third OF Flat
head National Forest timber harvest now coming
out of the North Fork.
In the old days speed limit sign wasn't nee
essary up the North Fork. It wasn't often that one
could find section of road where could drive
40 miles an hour.
Early Sunday morning saw the tragic accident
at Fool Hen hill when Jack Searles car left the
road and plunged 400 to 500 feet down into the river
Searle, 81 with his passengers Denny Cuttings 10,
and Clair Mum, IA, all of Kalispen were killed.
The situation is better, wider road with in
creased problems of more traffic, more dust, need
for more maintenance, safety patrols and guard
rails.
The Flathead needs better North Fork road
Furthermore it would not be too difficult to see
the route pushed through joining Watertons Aka
nina highway at Cameron lake in Canada.
Situation these months finds Flathead Nation
al Forest wanting the county to take mainten-
ance of the improved North Fork road. The county
feels it has its hands full in settled areas.
It would seem that practical solution to North
Fork road problems would be for the Flathead to
realize that this area is of increasing value to the
whole economy. When the North Fork finally op-
will be added gains of having direct door from
this county north. AS it is today the common bor-
der of the Flathead with British Columbia might as
well be 500 foot high wall.
Mirror of North Fork problems is the bridge
at Polebridge. The old pole and plank structure
gave up again this week. and was closed to all traf-
fic.
At the request of Flathead county commission
ers, the state highway department bridge section
is preparing plans for crossing at Polebridge
using former South Fork salvaged bridges purch-
ased from the Bureau of Reclamation.
Problem is that the county has found no way
to match its half of the estimated $4,000 improve
ment Flathead county commissioners cannot spend
more than $4,000 without bond issue.
Result is that the whole near 50-mile long west
border of Glacier now is without a crossing into
the park.
1t seems that the Flathead is stumbling about
when it to the North Fork section, not rea-
lizing the advantages the drainage offers through
its timber reserves, doorway to Glacier and poten-
tial route into Canada. MR.
