Maryland Unit
Drops Boost in
Gasoline Levy
BY GENE GOODWIN
star Stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 16.-Sup-
port was switching today to an
increase in the corporate income
tax as a means Of financing the
proposed Maryland port au.
thority.
The joint Senate and House
subcommittee studying the port
legislation yesterday voted to
eliminate the original financing
proposal, a three-tenths-of-a-
cent increase in the State
gasoline tax.
Although no final decision has
yet been made on what alter
native financing plan the sub
committee will recommend to
the full Legislature, strong sup
port was shown for increasing
the corporate income tax rate
from its present IA per cent to
a new S per cent rate.
That would raise $1,178,000
the first year and $2.144.000
each succeeding year. the sub
committee learned.
The proposed port authority
would need about So million a
year to operate. although there
lis some question about that.
Officials of the port study COM
mission, which drew up the au-
thority bill, were to reappear
before the subcommittee today.
SIS Million Questioned
Delegate Blair Lee III. Demo-
Icrat Of Montgomery, questioned

It is proposed in a separate bill
now pending before the Assembly
by Delegates Roy Staten of Bal

Senator Thomas Dempsey,
Democrat Of Baltimore, said the
corporate income tax increase
should satisfy county objections
that the Baltimore area should
pay most of the cost of the port
authority, since more than IS
per cent of the corporations in
Maryland are in the Baltimore

A Little Bit Of Bad
IN the Best Things
By JACK JONAS

You know how it goes some

You get up. still half asleep.
accidentally knock the alarm
clock onto the floor and the
works fall out.
The eggs aren't right, the
toast burns and the bacon is
served UNDERGONE. You run
for a bus and lose a photo
finish. The next one is so full
you can't get on. And when
you finally get to the Office
you discover that in the fog
of a rude awakening you've
pulled on one blue sock and
one red one.
Nothing seems to 60 right.
And you go through all this to
get out into a city full of critics
and cynics, who toss biting
words left and right about the
way you look or what you're
trying to do.
The Advertising Council has
been having such days with
its Peoples Capitalism" ex-
hibit in the concourse of Union
Station.
But you might say they
brought it on themselves. In
the first place. look where 1t
is-right In the middle of
crowds Of disgruntled people
complaining about the way
railroads are run, what with
Aunt Martha's and Uncle
Abner's train being late.
And there at the entrance
TO the exhibit is a printed in
vitation, pointing out that this
is a trial run and asking for
comments. The exhibit depicts
some Of the good things In
what Russia sneeringly terms
Capitalistic America and is
destined for d foreign tour. So
its sponsors want it to be au-
thentic and truly representa-
tive.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-16

THE SPONSORS of the ex-
hibit had asked for such COM
ments, looking toward improv-
ing the exhibit before 1t goes
overseas 10 show skeptical
countries how we've come
along, despite capitalism, so
maybe they won't mind a bit
more ult-finding.
1t doesn't take much study
or hard work to become an
expert on how at least one
family lives, SO let's stick to
that.
The new steel house in
the exhibit showing how
America lives today Is fancy,
but those ashtrays are not
overlooking with butts; the
towels In the bathroom don't
show that the black-hand
gang has passed through, and
the mirrors and windows are
altogether too clean.
Obviously, no family has
kicked and Scared the table
legs as they bulled their way
to dinner, and the other un-
marked furniture has never
been knocked around by a
crew of moving men. Nobody
has strewn the evening paper
over the living room floor, and
there's no lady of the house
standing at the front door
warning to wipe the feet and
not track mud all over the nice
clean floors.
Maybe that's the way the
exhibit home ought to be,
what with company coming to
admire it. But you seldom see
a house like that in real life.
However there were a few re-
deeming touches.
The wall clock in the kitch-
en- wasn't running. A man was
in the carport, busting a spot
less new automobile. and an
other was rearranging the
artificial grass.
1t wouldn't be home If some
thing didn't need fixing, the
car didn't need wiping of, and
the lawn didn't need tending.

DISTINGUISHED criticism
not sharp. but a mild sug-
gestion--came from Dwight
D. Eisenhower. who was there.
The President thought per-
haps there should be a picture
OF a theater or art gallery,
and that something might be
done about illustrating the
interiors Of our different
places of worship.
Then came a group of ex-
perts on antiques from the
Smithsonian, the Daughters Of
the American Revolution and
the National Museum, making
unkind remarks about that
part of the. exhibit intended to
show Americas work-a-day
life in 1776.
These specialists. said that
things as shown didn't quite
jibe with what they under
stood life was like during the
birth of the Nation, and that
some Of the antiques in the
Colonial home on view weren't
as Colonial as they could have
been.

There is. for instance, Ted
