Final congressional approval
of the Districts appropriation
bill for the fiscal year which
began Friday has sent the Com
missioners back to the financial
ouija board in an effort to decide
what to do about taxes.
They met Friday afternoon
with their top budget advisers,
but announced no decisions had
been reached-even on what they
plan to propose to members of
the House and Senate District
Committees. with whom they
want to confer this week.
One noteworthy fact Friday
was their failure to set the Dis
trict's real estate tax rate for
the year. They did set the tax
rate, as required by law, on busi-
ness personal property, but de-
leted references to the real estate
tax rate.
Personal Property Tax
The personal property tax was
continued at the same rate in
effect last year-$2 for each 500
Of assessed valuation.
There was. however. no COM

which last year was $2.20 for

Segregation Front

NORFOLK, Va, July 2 R.-
Virginia officialdom's previously
solid front against racial integra-
tion in public schools has been
cracked by the school board Of
Norfolk, the States largest city.
The Norfolk board, in a state
ment issued following a meeting
last night, went on record as ap-
proving the principle of integra-
ton as laid down by the Supreme
Court.

reservation. to uphold and abide
by the laws of the land" said
the board.
But it said 1t was powerless to
make the shift from Virginia s
historic policy of segregation
until present State law Is
changed.
The school board statement
was the first from any ofncial
body in Virginia to indicate will
ingness ultimately to accept the
Supreme Court decision thai
public school segregation is un.
constitutional. And it came from
the school board in a city of ap.
proximately 100000 in which ths
ratio Of white pupils to Negro
pupils is not quite 3 to /.
Last session Norfolk's school,
had 28.742 white pupils and H.
598 Negro pupils. BY the 1865
session white enrolment is ex.
pected to be close to $4,000 ant

Top OfficiuIs Point
To Russiu's S Burden
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWET
Associated Press STAFF writer

Top United States officials are
convinced Russia really wants to
cut part Of its huge armament
expenses.
This belief Is said to figure
strongly in American prepara-
tions for the Big Four summit
conference at Geneva two weeks
hence.
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State Dulles are under
stood to feel the best prospects
for some real accomplishment
at Geneva lie in the field of dis
armament.
This conviction arises from
the fact that modern armaments
are extremely costly and burden
some both to Russia and the
Western powers, and because
practical steps toward disarma-
ment are possible without alter
ing radically the present balance
of power.
West Seeks Unity
The United States, Britain and
France still have to coordinate
the approach they will take on a
whole series Of questions due to
come up at Geneva during the
conference which opens July 18.
This shaping of a single West
|ern policy will be sought by a
group of diplomats at Paris July
|8-14. with final agreements to
be worked out among the three
Western foreign ministers after
that, probably about July 1915.
Preparatory spadework has
been under way for many weeks
and 1t is these preliminary studies
which have pointed up for Mr..
Dulles and Mr.. Eisenhower the
possible opportunities for world
peace which may lie in the realm
of disarmament.
Mr.. Dulles is said to believe
it may be possible to agree with
the Russians at Geneva on pro-
cedures for tackling the prob
lem of balancing and gradually
reducing ornaments In Europe.
One way of doing this might
be to hold a joint conference
of North Atlantic alliance ma
tions and members Of the Rus
sian-sponsored Warsaw alliance
to try to strike a balance and
impose arms limits in the
European area.
Along with this, it might be

Arlington PTA Plans
Part in School Board
Nomination Session

The Arlington County Council
of Parent Teacher Associations
last night urged its member
groups to participate in the
forthcoming School Board Nom
mating Convention.
It also gave the go-ahead to
participation in any other CON
vention" that might be spon-
sored by the Arlington indie
pendent Movement or other
groups, providing the rules CON
form to PTA standards"
This is the latest development
to a controversy touched off last
month by DR.. Robert Detwiler,
chairman of the Arlington indie
pendent Movement, a coalition
of Democrats and Republicans,
which is expected to select
School Board candidates to op-
pose those picked by the Nomi-
mating Convention.
"Device" Seen by Detwiler.
DR.. Detwiler wrote local PTAs
urging that they refrain from ac-
tive participation in the conven-
ton "or a similar political de-
vice."
A resolution approved by the
council last night said the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers authorizes local units
to participate in caucuses which
are representative of the whole
community, which do not bind
delegates to support particular
candidates or a political party
and which seek to find the best
candidates available.
It was these standards that
the council set as conditions for
local member participation.
AIM usually nominates its
candidates at political break
fasts," rather than by conven-
ton. i1a 5-]@
The measure was approved
after talks by William G. Watt,
chairman of the Planning Coun-
Gil, set up to organize the Nomi-
mating Convention, and by DR.

Wider Distribution
OF Sales Tax Urged by
Maryland Legislators
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. "a
Two Baltimore County law
makers came up today with a
plan to pull Maryland out Of a
$28-million hole without raising
the State income or sales tax
rates, as proposed by Gov. Nc
Keldin.
Instead. they would tax cigar
cites two cents a pack, apply
the 2 per cent sales and use
taxes to more and lower priced
items, and make corporations
pay income taxes on the spot
instead of in quarterly Install
ments.
Expect Other Sponsors.
Senator Turnbull and Dele
gate Boone, Democratic majority
leaders in their respective houses,
prepared their proposals for in
production at this afternoons ses-
sion of the Legislature. They said
"others" would serve as CO.
sponsor Of their bills.
They outlined. them last night
to the Senate Finance Commit
tee, which Mr.. Turnbull heads,
and the House Ways and Means
Committee, of which Mr.. Boone
is chairman.
Gov. McKeldin's proposed
budget calls for raising the sales
tax from 2 to per cent. He also
would increase the income tax
from 2 to 3 per cent on individ-
uals and. from 4 to S per cent
on corporations.
In addition, the Governor
would begin collection Of income
taxes on a withholding basis, just
like the Federal Government, and
allow $1,000 Instead of a $500
exemption for each dependent;
The withholding system would
enable the State tD get its hands.
on revenue during a fiscal year..
instead of waiting until the end
of the year and in some cases.
collecting it in quarterly chunks
spnead over the next IL months.
Mr-..Turnbull and Mr.. Boone
said their measures would include
the withholding and increased
exemption features suggested by
the Republican Governor.
Pay-as-YOu-GO Basis.
But by putting corporations as
well as individuals on a pay-as-
you-go basis, the State could pick
up $2,750,000 more-or total of
$14, 800 .304-for the fiscal year
beginning July instead of watt
ing for the following year, they
said.
Besides this amount, the Dem
ocratic leaders would figure on
Sc million through the cigarette
tax and $9.5 million through
wider application of the sales
and use taxes.
The Turnbull- Boone plan calls
for a penny sales tax on virtu-
ally all items-except cigarettes
costing from IA to so cents and
a 2 per cent levy on everything
priced at 81 cents or more.
This would include restaurant
meals, soap, detergents and 9TH
er household products.
All these features were in the
sales tax when it went into effect
in 1947, but were knocked out
less than four years later.
