Delegates 10 Clash
Today Over Auto Fee
Boost and Truck Ban
By III. A.soeia,sd prs..

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 27.
Bills to call Off higher auto IL
cense plate fees and to keep
trucks on the Baltimore Wash
ington expressWay come up for
passage in the House of Dele-
gates today,
"T1iereTl be q head-oll coli
Iision, proclaimed majority floor
leader Boone, Democrat, Of Bal
tinore, in calling for final votes
by the delegates on two Of the
prime issues confronting them
so far.
Their approval Of stopping IL
cense fees from going up April
/ would complete legislative Iac-
tion for the time being. The
Senate already has voted for the
one-year postponement. Gov.
McKeldin Is expected to veto 1t,
however, as he did last year.
See No Need for Funds.
Democrats pushing for post
ponement claim the State Roads
Commission doesn't need the ex-
ira So million the higher fees
would bring.
The attempt to keep trucks en-
tirely of the parkway between
Baltimore and Washington also
is the second try. The House
passed 1t two years ago, but the
Senate withheld approval.
Trucks may now use the por-
tion on the Baltimore end built
by the State but not the section
constructed by the Federal Gov
ernment.
Extension of the ban to the
Maryland section won tentative
House approval Tuesday by five
votes. Both sides have been
working to change some Of the
delegates sentiments.
Gets speed Limit Isstie.
The Senate was 10 act tlIis
afternoon on another Of last
years Netoes, also relating to
roads. That issue is whether
municipalities should be able to
set speed limits "a their streets.
The limits now ire set uni
formly at Is or IS miles an hour
BY the State.
The Roads Commission claims
it would lose $50 900 q year II
municipalities set the limits, be-
cause they would keep the reve-
nue. from fines. instead OF the
State.
Traffic Director Henry Barnes
of Baltimore is asking for au-
thority to set his own speed
limits because part of the WASH
ington Parkway is within the city
limits. The speed limit there
fore Is 35 miles an hour and Mr..
Barnes wants to increase 1t.

; 10 Urge McKeldin
To Base Reports on
Debt and School Aid

Three members Of the Mary
land House Of Delegates plan to
call on Gov. McKeldin today to
ask for release Of reports dealing
with the States debt structure
and It's program for aiding
localities In school construction.
Blair Lee III, chairman Of the
Montgomery County legislative
delegation told a Bethesda audi
ence Of $40 that the Legislature
is eager to see the reports before
the Governor submits his budget.
He spoke last night at a Mont
gomery County. League Of Women
Voters panel discussion Of State
aid for education in the audi
torium Of Woodward b Lothrop,s
Bethesda store.
One Of Three Delegates.
Mr.. Lee said he was among
three delegates recently ap-
pointed by the House Ways and
Means Committee to ask the
Governor to release the Green
Commissions study OF State aid
for school construction and the
Grotz Commissions examina-
tion Of State debt and finances.
Other panel members were
Miss Grace Rawlings, q member
of the Green Commission and d
Baltimore elementary school
principal; David w. thinner
man, assistant State superin-
tendent Of schools; Philander
p. Claxton, jr., legislation chair
man of the Montgomery County
Council Of PTAs: Philip Brown,
education chairman Of the Allied
Civic Group Of Silver Spring,
and Albert E. Conradis. treas
,irer Of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation.
Mr., Brown said the Allied Civic
Group has urged legislation to
allow the counties, after d refer
endum, to impose their own sales
tax levies and small additional
tax on income already taxed by
the State.
Urged as Last Resort.
New taxing powers In Mont
gomery County, Mr.. Lee replied,
should be considered -only as q
last resort He said he favors
q revision Of the complicated
equalization formula under
which schools funds are dis
tributed.
Higher State grants per pupil
and per teacher were called for
by Mr.. Claxton. He said average
incomes in Maryland rank high
in the Nation but that only
three other States spend q small
er percentage of their income on
education.
A plan calling for q guarantee
Of State aid mounting to at least
20 per cent of school operating
costs was criticized BY Mr.. zim-
merman. He said this would Be
unfair To the poorer counties
because Il would decrease State

Watkins in Plea
For Refugee
Dy the Associated Press

Senator Watkins, Republican
lof Utah, called today for con-
Igressional consideration of pos
sible extension, as well as re-
vision, of the European refugee
admission act.
Senator Watkins, a member of
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
said he believes the original goal
Iof admitting 214,000 expellees
and escapes may almost be
reached by the time the act ex-
Ipires at the end Of next year.
1--WE will have to consider in
the next session whether to ex-
tend this act as well as whether
1T should be revised as President
Eisenhower suggested" he said.
Mr.. Eisenhower proposed sew
eral changes in the law to relax
restrictions that Senator Leh-
man, Democrat of New York
and others have eontended have
held the influx Of refugees to a
mere trickle.
The Judiciary Committee con-
sidered these proposals, along
with others. but took no action
before adjournment.
Senator Watkins said he
thinks there are some weak
spots" in the act which have
made its terms difficult to carry
out. Nevertheless, he said, the
program now Is going "in high
gear" with about l,400 persons
being admitted weekly.
Il am confident that all Of the
Greeks and Italians contem-
plated under the act will be
admitted" Senator Watkins
said.
Not all Of the escapes and
expellees from Germany are
likely to get here and there is
trouble about the admission of
people from the low countries. ;"
