Tunnel Is Urged
IoBypassP Peaks

BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 2(
GA 15-mile tunnel through
the Lebanon Mountains has beer
proposed as a means of restor-
ing this country's ancient posi-.
ton as a land communication
terminal for the Middle East.
Engineer Maurice Gemaye,
says the highway would short
circuit the high mountain bar
Irier now standing between Bel.
rut on the sea coast and inland
cities like Damascus, Baghdad
and Kuwait. It would link up
with proposed pan-Arab high
way network, connecting with
Persian gulf ports. Baghdad
Aleppo and Amman.
Beirut has the busiest airport
in the Middle East, with more
than rs flight movements daily
and with rs airlines having CEN
tiers here. More than a hundred
shipping lines use Beirut's sea-
port.
Land communications have
Jagged far behind. The two
lane highway to Damascus winds
over mountains which are COW
cred with snow and ice many
days during winter. A narrow
gauge railway creeps over the
mountains, covering 38 miles in
six hours.
In ancient times cities like
Tyre, Sidon. and Beirut were ac-
tive centers of commerce be-
tween East and West. When Vas
CO de Cana discovered the sea
route around South Africa. the
old land route to India through
the Levant dropped into insig-
nificance. Now the sea route
around Africa has become slow
for modern commerce.
Critics of the tunnel scheme
argue that the cost of an enlarged
four-lane highway over the
mountains, with machinery to
clear snowdrifts, would be one
tenth that of the tunnel. Mr..
Gemayel says they don't take
into consideration the fact that
not only the highway but also a
railway and telephone and tele-
graph lines would run through
the tunnel.

Large Maryland
Tax Rise Seen

OCEAN CITY. Nd, June 20
P. - State Senate President
Louis L. Goldstein believes the
Maryland General Assembly
must find $35 million to $40 mil
lion in new revenues when it
meets next February.
Virtually all of the politicians
who campaigned on a Statewide
basis in the last election promised
to reduce State taxes. They de-
ceived the people. They lied"
the Calvert County Democrat
said in a speech to the Maryland
Real Estate Convention here
Saturday night.
"The plain truth is taxes will
have to go up if services are
maintained and facilities ex-
Ipanded," he said.
Senator Goldstein, sponsor of
several pieces of legislation to
eliminate the State real estate
tax. told the convention this
must be done "as soon as prac-
ticable."
But this would mean no pros
Ipect of reducing local taxes, he
warned.
Political subdivisions must
find a way to increase tax re-
turns to support sorely needed
schools. and, in particular sew
Iers and waterworks," said Mr..
Goldstein.
The expansion of sewer and
water facilities is especially
necessary for nushrooming new
residential communities and
commercial and Industrial de-
velopments, he said.
Despite the consistent rise in
both tax rates and assessable
bases in virtually every county
and city in Maryland, Senator
IGoldstein said. the demand for
money with which to finance
such projects grows at a faster
rate than the tax yield
increases"
