End 10 Real Estate Tax
Sought by Mckeldin;
Mahoney Offers Way
BY the Associated Press

OCEAN CITY, Md, June 49,
Two candidates for Governor
have held out hope to members
of the Maryland Real Estate As
ISOLATION that the State tax on
real property could be eliminated.
Gov. McKeldin, seeking the
Republican nomination, told the
associations spring convention
today that "it is not beyond pos
Sibility that a new formula will
be devised eventually for the adj
ministration of the equalization
fund, thus paving the way for
the State to eliminate the State
tax on real property"
Linked to School Aid.
He explained that the tax now
is tied in with State aid to the
counties for public education.
Except for that, Gov Nickel
din said, from a purely revenue
standpoint, the State government
could abandon the State real es-
tate tax entirely"
It's amount, 1899 cents per
500 valuation this year, is deter
mined annually by the amount
necessary to pay of the State
debt for buildings.
George P. Mahoney, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor,
last night told the real estate
people he is opposed to continual
ton of that method.
II believe that the State of
Maryland should withdraw en-
tirely from the real estate tax
field" he said.
He proposed a limit on the
State debt beyond which the
legislature cannot borrow without
receiving the express approval of
the voters of the State" This
would decrease your real estate
taxes" Mr.. Mahoney said.
Gov. McKeldin also noted that
! the States outstanding debt is
not controlled by any one adj
ministration or legislature since
bonds normally are issued for
about 20 years.
Accumulation Of Debt.
"It is the result Of the &C
emulation of debt for capital
improvements over a period of
years." the Governor said. For
example. 6.95 cents of the cur
rent rate was necessary to fin
ance bonds authorized between
1899 and 1850 prior to the
beginning" of his administra-
ton, Gov. McKeldin said.
Several attempts to eliminate
collection of the property tax
have been made without success
in the legislature by Senator
Goldstein, Democrat, of Calvert
He was majority floor leader the
last two sessions.

Embassy Calls Off
Sale for 81 Million
To Area Dairymen

Sale Of Embassy Dairy was
called off Unexpectedly yesterday
to the surprise of the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers
Association which expected to
settle the 81 million deal in IL
days.
The producer association, a
cooperative of more than 1000
dairy farmers supplying the
Washington area, had been ne
gotiating for the past month to
buy Embassy.
President James j. Ward Of
Embassy in a brief statement
yesterday announced that he had
decided not to sell. He explained
that he had received many calls
from customers and farmers I'M
ploring him to keep the dairy.
Contract Already Signed.
w. B. Hooper, assistant man
ager of the milk producers who
has been supervising TIE negoti-
atoms, declared that Mr.. Wards
Mosaic decision came as a COM
plete surprise. He said he talked
with Mr.. Ward at 10 pm. Friday
and plans for the sale were still
very much alive at that time.
According to Mr.. Hooper, a
contract for the sale already had
been signed and the dairymen
were ready to put up the re-
quired amount of money on July
/, which was the specified settle
ment date.
Mr.. Hooper said the milk pro-
ducers had gone to great deal
of expense preparing to take
over Embassy. and even had
made arrangements for the nee
essary operating personnel.
Mr.. Hooper said he could not
comment, however, what Legal
action might result from EN-
bassy's sudden change of heart
until he consulted directors.
Just Changed His Mind
A spokesman for Embassy wa:
asked why the decision came 81
suddenly. He replied that Mr.
Ward lust changed his mind
between the time he talked with
Mr.. Hooper Friday night and the
time he called of the deal yes
terday morning.
The Embassy spokesman &C.
knowledged that Embassy anc
the producers had signed sales
contract, but stated that it hac
been understood from the be-
ginning" that either side coulc
withdraw at any time before
final settlement was made. He
said he did not know If there
would be any financial penalty
for withdrawing.
The proposed sale of Embassy
to the producers was a surprise
to the milk industry in this
area when it was first disclosed
last month. Embassy and the
producer association often have
been at odds. Embassy is one
of the largest diaries in the Dis
trict that gets most of its milk
from farmers who do not be-
long to the association.
Embassy fought District milk
regulations, which made the i'm
portation of milk from outside
the District inspection area i'm
possible. The producer associa'
ton vigorously supported the in
spection regulations.
Growing Milk Supply in Area.
With the purchase of Embassy
the producer association ex-
pected to have larger outlet
for the growing supply OF mllE
produced in this area. 1ndepen'

sure that it took their combined
efforts to stop Mr.. de Castro from
inflicting more damaging blows
on the person of Miss Dominguez.
Consul Brillantes, who appeared
in his office the next day, imme-
diately asked the four subordi-
notes in his office to make a writ
ten report of the incident to him.
At time of writing Some of the re-
ports requested have already been
submitted to him, he told the

COnradO de Castro as unfit for the
position that he now occupies
for a consular position, which is
semi-diplOmatic in nature, should
not be entrusted in the hands of
people who are incapable of sound
and intelligent judgment, and
whose reasoning is in the force of
their fists and not in the logic of
their argument.
We respectfully call the atten-
ton of the Department of For
eign Affairs in Manila and of
President Magsaysay to this Incl
dent. We would like to hope that
the much Observation-Disclosures
Magsaysay Administration, which
would not cOuntenance corruption
and dishonesty in the Govern
ment, likewise would not condone
a shameful and disgraceful con-
duct of public official, as was re-
Gently exhibited by COnrado de
Castro.
For the Good name of the For
eign Service, and as antidOte to
future similar incidents, ConradO
de Castro should be recalled from
the Foreign Service.
If Mr.. de Castro has propensity
to fighting, the Philippine Govern
ment could make good use of that
talent by employing him in the
campaign against outlaws and
dissidents in the Philippines.

TINE OUT
With The Editor

Irrespective of either the justi-
ficatiOn or controversial nature of
the details of the fight that took
place at the Philippine Consulate
in Seattle on November 9, last, as
reported on the front page of this
issue of the FORUM, and not
withstanding the background that
gave birth to the argument that
resulted in bodily harm to Miss
Maria Luisa DOmingHez from the
hands of ConradO de Castro, there
are two counts against the Consul
ate Finance Officer which he cam
not easily brush aside.
We shall start with the premise,
which is supported by sufficient
evidence, that COnrado de Castro
struck Maria Luisa Dominguez
with his hand, thus causing physi-
cal injury to the latter's face and
finger. We shall also understand
that the inflicting of bodily in
jury to Miss DOminguez took
place in the premises of the Phil
ippine Consulate at the Smith
Tower in Seattle.
We hold Conrado de Castro con-
victed on the following two
counts:
First, as an official or en-
plOyee of the philippine Govern
ment, he has shown discourtesy to
citizen of the Philippines who
went to that office. not on a So
cial call, but on official business;
Miss DOminguez went to see the
Consul of the Philippines on a
matter relative to her status as a
visitor in this country, and over
which the Consul, by his official
position, has the duty and respOn-
sibility and the obligation to at
tend. As an employee of the Gov
eminent, and at that particular
time (abOut $3.50 pm, on Nov. 8,
1854 when he was performing, or
was supposed to perform his du-
ties within the premises of the
Consulate, he injected into the
conversation, which started annie
ably, a subject foreign to the OBJ
iectiveS and concerns of the Con-
sulate but which belongs to the
realm of feminine wranglings. We
cannot conceive any possible eX-
cuSe for Mr.. de Castro to enter
tain a visitor to the Consulate
with insulting words, much less
flying fists, when his reasoning
and mental processes ran amuck.
Second, whether it is done in
side the Consulate or outside, a
man in perfect physical condition
striking and inflicting bodily harm
to a defenselesS woman is nothing
short of cOwardice. Mr.. de Castro
should have the manhood to pit his
physical prowess against a MEM
Der of his own sex. 1t is the
height of irony that citizen of
the Philippines should be subject
ed to humiliation and bodily harm
in the very office where she should
find protection and assistance.
On these two counts we 1charo-e

cier and the policemen, between
Mrs. de Castro and the policemen,
between Miss Dominguez and the
police officers, and vice versa.
And Miss Dominguez writes furth-
er:
Who Is Disturbing Peace?
After the policeman had long
tax with the Vice Consul and de
Castro, he took me outside the
Consulate and talked to me, say
ing that de Castro asked him to
file a complaint against me for
disturbing the peace. Then 1 said:
That is crazy, when he is the one
who disturbed the peace; that is
why 1 called the police to ask for
protection The other policeman
said: That is true; you were the
one who called us up"
Miss Dominguez went out with
the police officers and immediate
~ went to see a doctor for treat
ment of the injury to her face. She
went to a second doctor the next
day for the same purpose.
Editors Note: Because of a
damage suit being filed by Miss
Dominguez against Mr.. de Castro,
we are not mentioning yet the
names of the doctors who exam
ined Miss Dominguez' injury.)
Doctors Statements
In a written statement, dated
Nov. 10, 1854, one of the doctors
who examined Miss Dominguez'
face injury, had the following to
say:
1 treated Miss Maria
Tulsa DOminguez yesterday and
today for what l diagnosed as
Ecchyniosis of the right cheek
from being struck by a fist.
=. She showed redness,
swelling and (slight) discoloration
over the upper half of the (right)
cheek"
The other physician also writes
as follows:
Il examined Maria Tulsa Dom
inguez. November 10. 1854. She
was struck in the face the previ-
Gus day. My examination showed
a confusion of the face on the
right side involving the region of
the molar bone, the mira orbital
ridge and the zygoma.
"A fOllow-up visit Nov. II, 1854,
showed the confusion was healing.
She had also an injury to the mid
die finger of the left hand"
de Castro Has NO Comments"
We interviewed Mr.. de Castro
for a statement and asked if it
was true that he struck Miss Do
minguez. Mr. de Castro said he
did not like to make any comment
for the press.
Editors Note: In fairness to
Mr.. de Castro, we offer him space
in the FORUM for his version OF
the incident)
When interviewed on this mat
ter, Vice Consul Fonacier said he
heard an exchange of hot" words
from his room, and that he tried
his best to pacify the combatants.
He was not present, however.
when the damaging blow landed
on the pretty face of Miss Domin-
guez. as he said he was in the
adjoining room which was his Of
flee.
Salazar did not actually wit
ness the impact of hard fist and
soft cheek. but he said he saw de
Castro's hand very close to Miss
Dominguez's face. and whether il
was an open hand or closed fist,
he could not say for sure. Garrido
also told us that he did not see
the actual contact of a lightning
fist and a charming face But
