Maryland Senate
Kills Bill Raising
Legislative Pay
BY a Star stafy correkpondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 25-Ths
Maryland Senate today emphati.
cally killed a proposal that the
annual salary OF State legislators
be increased from $1,000 to
$500.
Also killed was a proposal for
increasing to 60 days, the 30-day
budgetary sessions held in even-
numbered years. q
Both ideas were part of q bill
introduced by Senator H. Wins
ship Wheatley. jr., Democrat Of
Prince Georges. !
The Wheatley bill. as he in-
troduced it. however. would have
put a proposed constitutional
amendment on the ballot next
November to provide for annual
60-day general sessions Of the
LEGISLATURE. =
The pay raise amendment was
tackled onto the bill over his OBJ.
lection by the Senate Judicial
Proceedings Committee. The
measure also was amended to
provide for 80 and 60-day annual
sessions instead Of 5000.
The Senate voted Is to IS to-
day when the amendments came
up for vote. Majority Leader
John G. Turnbull moved that
the bill be tabled since it obvi-
ously was not going to get the
10 votes needed to set up a con-
Stitutional amendment.
The tabling action means the
bill cannot be considered again
in this session.

Bar Unit Checks
On Police Trials

A District Bar Association
group is investigating police trial
board procedure with a view to
getting more protection for both
police and the public, 1t was
disclosed last night.
The study is being conducted
by the IL members of the District
Bar Associations Police and Fire
Trial Board Panel. headed by
Nathaniel j. Ely. These are at
torneys available to serve on
trial board panels where civilians
rather than police or fire officials
are wanted.
Mr.. Ely said the study encom-
passed ways and means of dis
ciplining members OF the force
AS well as the whole trial board
system. Such questions as who
should try. ranking officials
and whether the trial board
should follow the rules of evil
dence as in a court. proceeding or
consider itself a board of inquiry
are also under study.
Grams preference as it applies to
suspended policemen is now un-
der consideration at the Capitol,
Mr.. Ely said that wasn't what
started the inquiry. He said panel
members had felt for vears ~
the whole trial board procedure
needed Qualification.
Trial board procedures in IL
cities are being analysed by the
panel. Some members, Mr.. Ely
said, are also studying the code
OF military justice for disciple
mary procedures.
He said he expected the study
to take several more months
Then he expects it to be reviewed
by Police Chief Robert V. Muir
ray and his top officials.
The study. he said, has not yet
gone far enough to determine
whether present police disciple
nary procedures are too lenient
or too strict.

Calls for Cuution
On State BUDGET

BALTIMORE. Feb. IS Up
Noting that the present 1857
Maryland budget tops 1856 APP
preparations by 81 per cent, the
Commission on Governmental
Efficiency and Economy has sug-
gested that State policymakels
be more circumspect in making
new commitments.
The independent research or
ganization said the 1857 budget.
which totals $3o3. 669, is $25,-
225,892 above this years figure.
Most of the increase from
year to year in the budget" t
said, has resulted from the al
dition Of new functions and pur.
poses, the expansion OF estao-
lished programs and the libersl-
ization of policies affecting .ne
administration of program epd
agencies" .....
Also criticized was a total "a 6
million budget item for an
across the-board wage increase

This group plans to meet Thurs.
day for It's final day Of hearing,
before taking action.
! II for any reason the District
Committee cannot meet this
week, 1t is expected to schedule
a session early next week on the
tax program To send 1t to the
house floor for a vote.
The measure is designed te
raise more than $40 million ir
local taxes and to increase the
Federal payment toward city
costs from its present authorized
strength Of $40 million to S21
million.
When the House sends the
measure to the Senate. members
of the Senate District subcom-
mittee on fiscal affairs will be
prepared to present the legis-
lation to the full Senate Com.
mittee since they participated
in framing the measure.
Bible Studies Measure
Chairman Bible of the Senate
fiscal subcommittee said he has
been making careful study OF
the measure since participating
In the public hearings and in
executive sessions of the Joint
fiscal group. He also has looked
carefully into the documents
relating to the differences in
estimates for the expected
revenue from the income tax
provision.
These differences were spelled
out after lengthy restudy of the
problem In a report sent by the
District Commissioners to the
Smith subcommittee on the
House side. The documents were
sent to Senator Bible. .
The fiscal subcommittee had
raised the question of whether
the city officials estimate from
income taxes were too low
Higher figures on this point had
come from the Congressional
Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation. which han

ginning July /.
Depending. however. on the
congressional action on the new
tax bill. city officials hope te
submit an additional budget fol
public works projects to raise
the total city-spending program
to $l96 million.
So Million Increase
One of the items in the budget
as submitted by the Presiden,
and the Commissioners and nc.
before the Rabaut committee is
an increase in the authorized
Federal payment from $40 mil
lion to $40 million.
The budget also carries the
recommendation to restore the
50 million cut made by Congress
in the Federal payment for this
fiscal year which reduced it from
the authorized $40 million to SlS
million.
Prospects for further action on
legislation leading towards con-
struction of the Jones Point
bridge were Frightening.
The House District subcommit-
tee. which approved some amend
ments to the original legislation
authorizing the bridge, is ready
to send it to the full House Dis
trict Committee for action. The
bill would transfer jurisdiction
for constructing the bridge from
the Interior Department to the
Commerce Departments Bureau
of Public Roads. 1t would also
make some changes in the design
of the bridge and the method of
approaches to the span through
Alexandria.
Bridge Action Seen
The House District Committee
will have its hands full at the
next executive session, with the
Districts big tax bill, but it is
possible that the Jones Point
legislation. believed to be nom
controversial, could be taken up
at the same meeting.
Pending OH the Senate side
is the so-called family court leg
islation. which has passed the
Senate and the House in two
different versions.
The Senate will take the next
step IN the legislation when the
Senate District subcommittee
and the full Senate District
Committee decide what recon-
mendation to make to the Sen
ate.
