case, was produced as the
juniors prom benefit perform

Sway. The first part of the
dance was devoted to square
dancing, and the second part to
the traditional ballroom dancing.

BY DEWITT S. HYDE,
CONGRESSMAN

Congressional Committees are
well along with their spade work
on legislative proposals before
the Congress. Floor considera-
ton of major bills will be a week
ly occurrence from now until the
session ends.
1 think that it is worthwhile
to review briefly the measures
which 1 have introduced this seS-
sion. Some of them cover i'm
portant matters of a continuing
nature, others concern new de-
velopmentS. For the most part
1 believe that my bills strike
fair balance in the needs of the
9th Maryland District. 1 have
sponsored some legislation deal
ing with national problems which
have a bearing on the needs of
our section of the nation.
l would like to call your atten-
ton to some of the measures
which are now pending. Just re-
Gently 1 introduced a measure
which would grant full deduction
to the taxpayer for medical and
dental expenses. There is an
other measure of mine which
would help the individual and
that is the one repeating the tax
we must pay each time we pur-
chase a bus, railroad, or airline
| ticket.
I am again urging the Con
gress to correct the inequity
which exists wherever the fed
eral government is the owner of
large blocks of property which
is free from local taxes. My bill
provides for a lump sum pay
ment to localities and states in
lieu of these taxes. 1 also am
pushing for action that would
correct an error in implementing
the so-called federal impact"
law. Some school districts re-
ceived smaller sums than we be-
lieve they were entitled to.
Coal and the specific problems
it raises in our district is the sub
ject of a measure of mine which
provides for a commission to ex-
