In a last-minute switch. SEN
ator Anders r. Lofstrand. jr.,
Republican, of Montgomery, last
night killed his bill to tax the
corporate income of District
building and loan associations
lending money in Maryland.
The bill already had passed
the Senate and was being con-
sidered in the House Ways and
Means Committee. when MI
Lofstrand arranged for it to be
recalled.
He explained that a question
exists as to the constitutionality
of the measure. because of con-
f1icting opinions on the effect of
reciprocal tax agreements be-
tween Maryland and the District.
He said he decided it would be
better to let the Legislative
Council study it.

Standees Are So UnruIy
Opera Acts 10 Curb Them

NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-Compet-
ing claques-5tandee patrons who
shout their approval of opera
artists-have become so "unruly
and offensive" that the Metro
politan Opera has decided to
curb them.
A new rule, imposed before last
nights "Trovatore," cut the num-
Der of standing-room patrons in
half, to about 100.
Rudolf Bing, Metropolitan gen.
eral manager. said he took the
action regretfully. because he
looks upon the Standees as er
invaluable part of the audience.
But recently there have been
such piercing screams as Bravo"
and clamorouS outburSts of APP
plause-often for different artists
at the same time-that the
course of the opera has been
impeded. The limit on general
admissions was decided upon to
keep demonstrations within linn

Virginia Anti-Red Bill.
Apparently Is Dead
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. A.
The Fenwick Bill to require a
non-Communist oath of every
State employe, including teach
ers, was sent back to the Courts
OF Justice Committee yesterday
by the Senate in a move that
looked like the death of the bill.
When the bill, on second read
ing, came up, Senator Edward
Breeder of Norfolk, withdrew an
amendment he had offered to add
an emergency clause and have
members of the Legislature take
such an oath before this session
adjourns.
The motion to recommit was
made by the bills sponsor, Sena-
tor Charles r. Fenwick of Ar
lington.
The bill will have to be passed
by the Senate by Monday or it
will be dead under a resolution
that the Senate can consider
only House bills after Monday.

Maryland Session
Headed for Orderly
Adjournment Today
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 4.-The
Maryland Legislature was ready
to adjourn its 30-day session to-
day just as soon as it disposed
of the veterans bonus issue and
a few minor items.
1t could have adjourned early
this morning, but legislative
leaders, concerned about elec-
tion-year reaction to the wild
confusion usually accompanying
the last hours of a session, de-
cided it would be more orderly
to stay here one more day.
The constitutional deadline for
adjournment is midnight to-
night.
Budget Voted.
The Governors record $237
million budget was enacted yes
terday, along with a $7.8 million
capital Improvements program
and the bill setting the State
real estate tax rate for the next
calendar year at 1899 cents per
500 Of assessment.
The Senate was set to take a
final vote today on a 800 million
veterans bonus bill proposed by
Senator Harry T. Phoebus. Re-
PUBLICAN. of Somerset. It's
about the same bill he's been in
Producing for the last three ses-
sions. and it has never passed.
The Phoebus bonus would be
financed by a new tax on
alcoholic beverages. If that
didn't produce enough revenue,
then the State real estate tax
would be used.
The similar House bill, spon-
sored by small band of Balti-
more delegates who have done
little else this session except pro-
mote their measure, would be
financed by raising the State
sales tax from 2 to 3 per cent.
1t would cost 500 million.
Special Vote Needed.
Both bills would have to be
approved by the voters in a
referendum next November.
The House finally enacted the
measure postponing for one year
the auto tag increases originally
scheduled to go into effect in
the spring of 1855. They failed
all day Monday to put it across
because Of stubborn Republican
opposition, led by Delegate j.
PAUL Marshall. Republican, of
Montgomery.
Yesterday. Mr.. Marshall tried
to amend the bill to postpone the
increases on passenger car Ii
cenSes but allow them to go in
to effect on trucks. The amend
ment was defeated. SO to 33.

ginning in 1854

81 Million Addition
10 Budget By House
Faces Senate Fight
By Alex R. Preston
Sfor SiaH Correspondent

RICHMOND. Mar. 4.-The
$3.50 million budget bill. loaded
down with an additional ST
million in Byrd tax credit money
was sent to the State Senate to-
day where a fight was in the
offering to remove amendments
tackled on by the House of Dele
gates.
In one of the highlights of the.
1854 session Of the General as
sembly, bloc of delegates, led
by those from Northern Virginia,
succeeded yesterday in amend
ing the budget to suspend the
Byrd automatic income tax
credit law this year, thus making
81 million more available.
The weIl-organized move was
carried by a vote of So to As.
Northern Virginia delegations
were divided IA to 6, with the
majority on the prevailing side.
In another development, a
Senate committee voted to re-
port the administration in
dorsed right-to-work bill.
This morning the Senate Com
mittee on Public Institutions and
Education killed five proposals
TO change the present method of
selecting school board members.
Approve Liquor Tax.
Among more controversial
measures passed by the House
IN a session last night and sent
to the Senate was the Elliott
Bill placing a tax of cents on
each bottle of alcoholic bever-
ages, with the revenue set aside
for the treatment of alcoholics.
The vote was so to "a.
The action was another set
back for Gov. Stanley, who had
publicly opposed the bill.
The House also voted, IS to
10. to pass the Tucker bill,
authorizing a acknowledges
burg Toll Turnpike Authority.
The amendment to the budget
bill, however, was the biggest
development of the day. This
now places the Senate in the
position of having to cut out the
extra items, literally spread
among schools, colleges and
health services, or going along
with the plan to suspend the
income tax credit law this year.
40 Co-SpOnsOrs.
The amendments went in I'M
der the name of Delegate Armi-
stead Boothe of Alexandria and
about 40 co-sponsors. The 81
million was spread among IL
different projects, scattered
throughout the State so they
would have the widest appeal.
Before voting on the amend
ment the House agreed to about
100 other amendments proposed
by the Appropriations Commit
tee which raised the budget to-
tai to about S7525 million, be-
fore the ST. million was added.
Among amendments approved
was one for $4,000 as the
States share of the cost of &C
quiring the Worthington Oil Co.
property near Key Bridge for the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway in Arlington. An addi-
tional $150,000 for the parkway
farther upstream, mostly IN
Fairfax County, also is included
in the budget bill.
