Final Move 10 Pass
Right-to-Work Bill
Fails in Maryland
Star Stan Photo.
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 26.-The
Maryland House of Delegates
rejected a final piece of So
called right-to-work legislation
last night by defeating a bid
to override an unfavorable re-
port by the Labor Committee
earlier.
The larger counties combined
with Baltimore City to defeat
the move in a fashion similar
to that of the Senate a day
earlier on an identical bill to
ban the union shop in Maryland.
The vote was 70-4l against up
setting the unfavorable report.
The entire Montgomery and
Prince Georges delegations voted
against the motion to substi-
tute the right-to-Work bill for
the unfavorable report.
Tax Court Bill Approved
The House also passed and
sent to the Senate a bill to set
up a separate tax court in Mary
land, giving the assessors power
to set assessments and provide
appeals before the county COM
mlSSioners.
1t also kept alive a proposal
to have the State Roads Com
mission studied" by a General
Assembly, appointed commission,
a measure identical to one de-
feated earlier by the Senate.
The House reconsidered an ear
lier vote on the measure and
delayed further action until
Monday to await word on what
the Senate might do on a bill
sent to it proposing that the
Fiscal Research Bureau con-
duct the roads investigation.
Last nights session was the
deadline for putting new bills in
the hoppers and they flooded
into both houses. Legislators
can still put bills in during the
remaining eight working days
but will have to get rules sus-
pended by a two-thirds vote to
do it.
Bills Meeting Deadline
Those meeting the Friday
deadline included:
A bill by five Southern Mary
land Senators to increase the
Court of Appeals membership
from five to seven and require
that one of them come from
Southern Maryland.
A renewed effort by Senator
Goldstein, Democrat, of Calvert
to have the State sell Sandy
Point State Park in Anne Arun-
del County. He said a recent
Federal Appeals Court ruling
that segregation at Sandy Point
and certain other recreation
spots was unconstitutional had
nothing to do with it. Senator
Goldstein said he put the bill ia
for the same reasons as 1858
which failed-to take
the State out of competition with
private resorts and place the
property back on the tax books
as an economy move.

House Votes Today
On ST. Million Cuts
In McKeIdin BUDGET
Star stan Photo
BY O Ssor Siaff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 26. - The
Maryland House of Delegates
was scheduled today to take its
first vote on about $1.2 million
in cuts in Sow. McKeldin's pro-
posed budget of $270 million for
the next fiscal year.
The reductions were the joint
effort of the Senate Finance and
House Ways and Means commit
tees, but it was decided to move
the budget bill through the
House first.
| House Majority Leader A.
Gordon Boone tried to win quick
approval of the committees cuts
last night. but Delegate John j..
Nowakowski. Democrat, of Balti-
more, led a successful move to
have them held over a day for
study by Delegates not on the
Ways and Means Committee.
The budget cut in the amended
budget was $345,572 in the Men,
tai Hygiene Department, whose
appropriation request totaled
$15.2 million. Mr.. Boone said
a three per cent reduction was
taken in mental hygiene funds
ito check the rapid expansion
Of overhead costs of the depart
ment."
The health department also
came in for a $194,230 trim be-
cause. Mr.. Boone said, "the COM
mittees are convinced that the
administrative practices in this
department are less than eff
Gent"
The two committees also re-
duced Gov. McKeldin's requests
for rs additional State troopers
to IS.
The State Aviation Commits
sion, which was budgeted for
$25 .222. was abolished in the
still to be approved amend
mentS.
1T was not felt that the Serv-
ices performed were of sufficient
value to justify their COSTS" read
a statement from Mr.. Boone and
Senate Majority Leader John G.
Turnbull.
Over Original Budget
Actually, the total of the
budget as amended by the two
committees is still $306,842 higher
than the $268,827,484 requested
in the Governors original record
budget, despite the recommended
cuts. Two supplements SUBJ
mitted by the Governor since the
original budget increased the
total of his requests to $270,163,-
220.
The legislative reductions
would bring that total down to
269,134,326.
The problem still facing the
Legislature is finding additional
tax revenues to meet $28.8 mil
lion difference between estimate
revenues from present taxes and
the proposed expenditures in the
budget.

ciaD The bill to ban trucks on
the Maryland-owned section OF
the Baltimore Washington ex-
pressway had another hearing
yesterday-this time before the

from the Laurel Heights I'm

sponsor argued it was ridiculous
to maintain the highway half
fish and half fowl"
He referred to the fact that
the Federal Government bans
trucks from its section of the
parkway from Jessups. Md. to
the District.
M. H. Bargteil. from the Balti-
moe-Washington Boulevard As

measure. which passed the House

counties directly affected by the
bill-Baltimore, Howard and
