Agency Fayors
TaxWthho|ding
In Maryland
Income Levy Seen
Returning 81 Million
More Under Plan
BY III. Associated Pres,

BALTIMORE. Nov. 10.-Mary-
landers may have their State
income tax withheld from their
pay just like their Federal in
come tax if sentiment that
prevailed at a Legislative Coun-
Gil Committee hearing carries
through to the Legislature.
Benjamin F. Marsh, chief of
the Incomes Tax Division which
opposed a similar idea several
years ago. told the Budget and
Finance Committee yesterday his
agency now favors the idea.
He said such a system might
make it possible for the State
to pick up about 50 million it
now loses through delinquents.
Actually the total delinquency
is about SO million but a third
of this is tracked down, Mr..
Marsh said.
OA4eSAA6Ss
While approving the withhold
ing proposal, Mr.. Marsh was OPP
posed to proposal to move the
due date of Maryland tax returns
from April Is to May Is. Such q
move has been suggested to avoid
conflict with the Federal due
date which has been changed
from March Is to April Is.
MIR. Marsh said change to
the May Is date for the State
could upset Maryland's fiscal OPP
erationS. About 66 per cent Of
all returns are filed on the due
date itself, he said, and the later
date would mean the tax divi-
sion would have only six weeks
to process more than $4,000 re-
turns before the closing day Of
the fiscal year, June 80.
why. we'd have $40 to SIS
million lying on the floor in bags
and envelopes instead of in the
State treasury at the close Of
the year" he said.
Home Rule Proposals.
Meanwhile, the subcommittee
on home rule approved two pro-
poSals dealing with the me.
chanics of setting up new mu-
nicipal corporations and allow.
ing existing ones to amend their
own charters.
One proposal provides that 10
per cent of the voters in an area
contemplating incorporation pre-
sent a petition to their county
commissioners asking for an
election. The other deals with
the proposed charter for such o
group.
The State constitution was
amended by the voters November
2 to make home rule possible
throughout Maryland instead Of
just in Baltimore City. which
already has self governing
powers.

For City Employees
0kayed in Rockville

early today approved a city civil
service system placing all city
government employees under a
merit plan and giving them leave

establishes an appeals board to
weigh grievances.
The council also adopted a
zoning ordnance amendment re-
quiring off street parking for

ment includes a provision for
possible exceptions in hardship
cases for commercial buildings.
In response to a council invi-
tation, Judge Alfred D. Noyes of
the Montgomery County Juvenile

said a major cause Of juvenile
delinquency in the Rockville area
was the lack of youth facilities
there.

Activities Committee, which is
promoting the establishment of
swimming pools and other rec
reational facilities, has two teen
aged members, Mayor Hovsepian

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1O-About
900 delegates representing more
than 100000 members will come
here tomorrow for the annual
convention of the Maryland Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers.
Main objective is more State
money for public schools.
The convention will provide the
first opportunity the PTA mem
bership has had to express its
sentiment on State school laid
program which it's State board of
managers worked out last spring
in cooperation with the Mary
land State Teachers Association.
The proposal would add about
$14.5 million year to the
States bill for public schools.
This is about 40 per cent more
than the State now pays. The
other money comes from county
funds and the Federal Govern
ment.
Seek Congress Packing.
The organizations Statewide
Legislative Committee, headed by
Mrs. Stanley G.. Cock Of Indian
Head, will ask the Congress to
'indorse this statement:
1--WE recommend that State A.
nancing of school operating costs,
which has fallen from 42 per
cent to a present level of IS per
cent. be restored to approximate
the national average Of As per
cent"
The $14.5 million school pro-
gram would provide:
/. New school buildings-$2O0
million worth in the next five
years with the State paying half
the cost at a rate of Sc million
a year.
2 Expansion of the State
teachers college and higher SAL
aries for their staffs, to cost over

Council Accepts
Interest Gift
To Rush Sewer
Owner Of Big Troct
Offers Fire House
Site for ST 500

The Alexandria city Council
last night authorized the bor-
rowing of SIS. 900 to construct a
sewer trunk line after a private
citizen offered to pay 2 per cent
interest on the loan for three
years. ,.e
The unpreced tented authoriza-
tion was made over opposition oi
two of the six councilmen pres
ent. The objections were based
on the unusual method of f.
nancing and the fact that con-
struction of the particular sewer
trunk sidesteps the priority
schedule set UP for that area Of
the city.
The offer to pay interest on
the loan came from Mark Wink
Ter, owner of a, large tract of
land in the area. near Seminary
road and Shirley highway
which would benefit from the
sewer construction.
Offers Fire House Site.
In package deal, Mr.. Winkler
not only agreed to pay 2 per
cent interest but also will sell
the city a one-acre site for a
fire house on the north side of
Seminary road for $500.
Vice Mayor Leroy Bendheim,
who presided at the meeting,
noted that the asking price for
the land would normally be about
500. He also noted that the
sewer would make possible i'm
mediate construction of the fire.
house which he said the city
needs and has the money to
build.
1t also was brought out that
construction of the. sewer would
save the city some $1,000 in
getting sewer service to the new
Francis Hammond High School
now under construction on Semi
nary road.
Councilman James Duncan, jr.,
moved for acceptance of the
Winkler proposal after objections
were made to the proposal by
Councilman Frank Mann.
To Impound Stray Dogs.
In another action, the council
moved to impound licensed dogs
who go astray. From now on,
any dog will be impounded If
lost, impedes traffic or runs in
a pack. A pack was designated
as three or more dogs.
I Under previous. regulations,
licensed dogs were free to do any
OF these things. An attempt by
Mr.. Bendheim to limit the i'm
pounding only to licensed dogs,
subject OF complaints by citizens,
was lost for lack of a second. =,
The council also adopted a
recommendation of the Traffic
and Parking Board, making two
changes in street directions effec-
tive December l..
These changes viii make
Hume avenue, one-way east
bound between Jefferson Davis
highway and Mount Vernon
avenue and Clifford avenue, one
way west-bound between Jeffer-
son Davis highway and Com
monwealth avenue.
, The group also accepted the
resignation of Joseph w. Phillips
from the Traffic and Parking
Board. Mr.. Phillips said his
future plans and commitments
necessitated his resignation.

52-Yord Sprint Rallies Iowa
To Defeat of Sportons
By the Associofed Prasa

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Sept. 25.-
Eldean Matheson, a Junior half
back who carried the ball only
four times year ago for 42
yards, raced So today to rally
Iowa to a spectacular 14-10 VIC
tory over Michigan States T ose
Bowl football champions.
With his team down. 10-7, as
the result of a smashing Mich
igan State third-quarter drive
and only a bit more Jnan six
minutes on the clock, Matheson
tucked in a punt on his As and
sped down the west sideline. He
was only yards away from the
goal when he was overhauled by
Carl Nystrom.
Shocked higan State
grudgingly gave up only a
yard and a half in three Iowa
thrusts. But the Spartans
couldn't restrain the Iowa line
and Quarterback Perry Reichow,
on the vital fourth down. went
over for the winning points.
The defeat, only the third for
Michigan State in five years, vas
a bitter loss for Coach Hugh
Daugherty who moved up to the
top job when Biggie Mum le-
tired after the 1854 Rose Bowl
triumph.
A crowd of $4,000, basking in
80-degree temperature. and mil
lions of viewers watching the
Nationwide television game of
the day, saw Iowa rush to a TO
hal ftime lead.
