Gov. Stanley Signs
Right-to-Work Bill
By The Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, April 3.-Gov.
Stanley today signed the con-
troversial amendment putting
teeth in Virginia's right-to- work
law. It will be effective June 80.
The changes were adopted by
the 1854 General Assembly after
some bitter debate. The bill
passed was softer than the YER
sion originally submitted by Gov.
Stanley and drafted by the at
tcrney generals Office.
And right down to the signing,
orgar' Led labor kept up it's argu-
me.4Cs against the bill.
Beecher e. Stallard, counsel
for several labor unions during
Assembly hearings on the meas
ure. said he still had grave
doubts" about the constitution
ality of some sections.
The doubts, he said, arose
from the workings of some sec
tions of the bill and their pos
Sible interpretations.
The original version of the
right-to-work bill was recon-
mended by Gov. Tuck in 1947.
A principal aim Of the bill was
to outlaw the closed and union
shops.

Authority Urged in
Nearby Maryland

The Montgomery County Coun-

initiative in proposing a four

TO standardize zoning and con-
struction regulations in the Met

The proposal was made by T.
Girard Lee, chairman of the

Washington.
The Home Builders spokesman
said such an authority would
assure equal opportunity for
prosperity for all areas contig-

The group also has urged the
council to postpone considera-

The Upper Montgomery Coun-

Wednesday the council wanted
to consider the proposed crdi-

ANY up-countv landowner
who studies the S240, 900 eco

Virginia Legislature
Finds Sales Tax Call
Reaching New Pitch
BY the Asseeiotsd Pres.

RICHMOND. Va, April s.
There was a prominent second
ary theme to the Virginia Leg
islature's furious debates over
money matters at the recently
completed 1854 session.
It was a theme that reached
new pitch without coming to full
crescendo. In essence. the title
was-the sales tax is just around
the corner.
The sales tax song is not par
ticularly popular with politicians
and that's the chief reason pre-
vious chorus calls for its enact
ment have gone unheeded in
Virginia.
But new facts of governmental
life came to the surface during
the recent session that caused
many lawmakers to give greater
thought to the sales tax poSsi-
bility-not now. but in the flu
ture.
Among Is Holdouts.
Down through the years Vir-
ginia has gained a reputation of
generally being a low tax State.
At present, she is among 16
holdoutS who have Steadfastly
refused to join the swing to the
sales tax bandwagon that now
includes 80 States and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The big question is how
much , longer will Virginia be
able to hold the line?
The scramble for additional
funds provided new evidence for
legislators the State must find
greater revenues if basic COM
monwealth services are to be
maintained adequately.
Look at the figures. State
agencies and institutions put in
requests for $102,168.9o3 for
building purposes. The 1954-56
budget allocated $16,587, 1888.
There were requests for $373,-
1876, ,904 from the treasury's gen.
eral fund and allocations of
$3.50, $1,000
Two Bills Get Nowhere.
Two bills to collect additional
revenue by imposition of a State
wide sales tax cropped up. but
failed to get anywhere. However,
there was many a lawmaker who
said privately he felt the levy was
on the way. Administration
leaders and top members of the
controlling Democratic "organi-
zation" expressed little hope Vir-
ginia could escape the sales tax
tide much longer.
Gov. Stanley disclosed this
week he plans to set up a study
of the States capital outlay
needs and revenue sources - a
move to blueprint the conStruc-
ton needs of agencies and insti-
tutions over period of approx
mately six years.
It could be the new group will
report back with a sales tax
recommendation.
May Depend on Ruling.
On the other hand, there is a
possibility the sales tax will be
on Virginia before the year is
out. It could happen-depend-
ing on how the Supreme Court
rules on the school segregation
issue.
If the court rules out segre-
cation, the legislature undoubt-
edly will be called into special
session to consider the enormous
new problems created. It might
be found that additional revenue
were needed and that a sales tax
would be the best bet for obtain
ing it.

Gov. McKeldin cited $50 Mary
land recreation workers today
for failure to protest legislative
cuts in his park Improvement
program from $502.800 to $751;
0OU.
Speaking at the third annual
Governors Conference on Rec
reation at Frederick High School,
the Governor said there was not
q murmur Of protest from the
"tens Of thousands of people who
need and use those recreation
areas every year-not even from
those Of you who are directly
interested in recreation"
The General Assembly made
the cuts at the recent session.
II believe It is time now that
we start bearing down somewhat
harder on this recreation pro-
gram of the State" he declared.
He added that something would
have to be done about the in
terest of voters, which seems to
wane when they pack up the
picnic basket at dusk and head
for home"

dated" earlier legislation Great
ing the Sandy Point State Park
near Annapolis by cutting his
proposal to sell Sill 500 in bonds
for improvements there to only
$500.
Public interest should be DEM
onstrated during sessions of the
assembly. the Governor sug-
gested, to convince the law
makers.
Earlier, volunteer and profess
Sional recreation workers, city
and country officials and repre-
sentatiyes of half a dozen social
welfare agencies were told in a
series of panel discussions that
Maryland has 5000 acres for
intensified" recreation use, but
that 1t is not enough.
A recent survey of the Mary
land Recreation Society showed
that of the so towns queried,
only Is had tax-supported rec
reation programs. Only five of
these had any full-time en-
ployes.
Doesn't COst-It Pays.
William Paulsgrove of Hagers-
town, member of a Who
Pays the Bill" panel, used the
slogan Recreation doesn't cost
it pays" in asserting that a
better recreation program would
reduce the outlay for penal and
health institutions and would
attract more revenue-producing
tourists.
Donald Hunt, president of the
Montgomery County Recreation
Board, in another panel, added
that State and local agencies
are not doing enough to attract
tourists.
The conference also was told
by Gov. McKeldin about a pro-
posed new State park along the
Gun Powder River, north of
Baltimore. He said the new park
was the idea of Circuit Court
Judge John B. Centrum of Balti-
more.
Chairmen Of the conference
were Warren Evans. Frederick

education and health, and Miss

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I'VE
been married three months to
q man who is all any girl could
want kind, considerate, loving
and devoted in every way, vet
I'm not happy. Before we were
married my husband admitted
that during his two years in
Japan, he had lived with q
Japanese girl. He said they loved
each other very much, that she
had given him q pleasant, COM
Portable home. but that she re-
fused to come to this country
with him since it would be SO
dimcult. for her to adjust to new
ways.
Later. however, he admitted
that he didn't love her enough
for marriage, but had grown to
depend on her to ward of lone
illness and inconsistencies. I wish
he had never told me OF this
episode. as I haven't had q mo-
ment free Of worry since. I keep
trying to imagine what his life
with her must have been. and
am constantly questioning him
about it. wonder If he loved
her more than he does me. II she
contributed more to his happi-
ness than I shall ever do, If he
misses her or thinks of her. How
can ! get this whole subject out
OF my mind?
LoRA D. \
ANSWER: This is q problem
that faces many young women
today-and will continue to do
so as long as we have armies OF
occupation abroad. Many sery-
icemen, especially the younger
ones. haven't acquired the sta
bility to adjust to the drastic
change that foreign service
presents. In an effort to alleviate
the almost unbearable homesick-
ness. they welcome eagerly what.
ever sympathetic understanding
is available. Sometimes these
relationships deepen into gem
uine love with resultant happy
marriages: more often, however,
they are merely temporary af-
fairs soon outgrown by one party
or the other.
