ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 6.--Leaders
Of the Maryland Legislature to-
day were cautious in their re-
action to Gov. McKeldin's bud
get-balancing program Of a
penny increase in the retail sales
tax this year and q SO per cent
increase in the income tax next
year.
No one. at this early date, had
any serious alternative solutions
to the estimated $28 million def
cit the Governor says the State
will have to face up to in fiscal
1855, But most leaders inter-
viewed said they wanted to ex-
plore some alternatives before
making any firm comments on
the Republican Governors pro-
poSals.
None Argue With Plan.
So far, none of the chiefs Of
this Democratically controlled
Legislature, In the second day OF
o 90-day session today, have
argued with Mr.. McKeldin,s
statements that taxes will have
to be raised or essential State
services cut.
The Governor outlined his tax
program briefly last night in his
annual "State Of the State" adj
dress to joint session of the
Senate and House. Here's his
proposed tax timetable:
A penny increase In the pres
ent 2-cents-on- -dollar sales
tax on June I. Inauguration OF
an income tax withholding sys-
tenn on July 1, some tax relief
In the form of an increase In
the income tax exemption for
dependents from 5000 to 81. 900,
beginning July !. and q rise In
the income tax rate from 2 to 8
per cent as Of January /, 1856.
Most Of the legislators had
some familiarity with the Gov
ernnr's proposal earlier yester-
day. since the essential parts Of
his drastic tar program had been
leaked to the press piecemeal BY
some Of the several administers
ton fiscal aides who worked
on It.
Urges County Home Rule.
A part OF the message not
broken In advance was d plea
by the Governor FOR legislation
granting home rule powers to
Maryland's 25 counties.
"A long-needed reform was
effected when the voters ap-
proved municipal home rule last
November. Mr.. McKeldin said,
but equally needed and urgent
in the interest Of the best In
good government Is q constitu-
tional amendment to provide
more home rule Tor the counties
Of Maryland
He said legislation to this end
win be offered in this session.
Credit Highest PcssIbIe.
On the States financial Sit
uation, Mr.. Mclxeldin had this

by Brigance and others. de-
signed by leading American
designers such as Cell Chap
man, Claire McCardell, Clare
Potter, Ben Zuckerman, Kar-

Simpson the first Cotton
Award winner, and Jane Derby.
They applauded Brigance's
giant cotton plaid fabrics made
up into charming miniature
dresses for playwear; his ex-
citing little culotte-shorts; and
original prints of giant yellow
carnations and black tiger
lilies made up into casually
elegant dresses.
Brigance'S winning the Cot
ton Fashion Award this year
is the second major fashion
honor to be given him. In 1853
he won the American Fashion
Critics Award for his versa
tility in creative design.
Cotton was the first fabric
he ever worked with and his
first stab at a design career
came as a schoolboy when he
did the costumes for the Texas
Cotton Exposition.
His design premise is that
American women love clothes
that stimulate them and are
at the same time functional.
They should not be designed
for any single town or section
in mind. Above all they must
be appropriate for the Amer
lean woman's mode of living,
and this means that simplicity
and beautiful lines must be
more important than tenn
porary fashion trends.

Mrs. Elson, who was intro

Eisenhower's pastor, also told
a woman's group that the
Chief Executive is a man
thoroughly at home in a house
of worship"
mo one who truly worshipS
in the same service with the
President can doubt his sin

unostentatiously makes his
way down the aisle, quietly sits
in his pew and takes part in
the union prayers and hymns
of praise" she added.
Mrs. Elson spoke at a meet

Conference of the Augustana
Lutheran Church, held at the
