BALTIMORE, Feb. 81 P.-

BALTIMORE, Feb. q R.-
The Baltimore transit strike
reached an apparently hopeless
impasse last night when workers
emphatically rejected what man
agement called its final offer"
The union said the vote by an
estimated 1900 Of its more than
1000 striking members was
unanimous.
When Gov. McKeldin heard
the results. he said:
THAT leaves us where we've
been since the beginning OF the
strike-with the public still get

Of the heap.
'The General Assembly has
the answer if it will exercise its
responsibility to enact a law

Bills Up for Final Vote
Two bills providing State seiz-
ure and operation of the transit
system, which have been gather

Annapolis. will be UP for a final
vote tonight.
Senator Philip H. Goodman
chairman of the city Senators
said he believes the unions re-
lection of the final offer will
give one Of the bills the impetus

A bill sponsored by the governor
sets up this procedure: The

Next day when the children
came to school they could not see
the tree at all, for it was behind
big curtain. But when the cur
tain was pulled aside, there stood
the lovely tree all glittering with
tinsel and strung with white pop
corn and bright red cranberries
and shining balls and ornaments.
And right on the very top of the
tree stood Angeles Christmas an
gel!
How lovely ii was, and it seemed
to look down on ALL the children!
Maria slipped around the tree and
looked up at the other face. "The
angel sees me here, too" she said.
The children sang carols and re-
cited poems, and Sister told them
the story of the birth of the Christ
Child at Bethlehem. Then every
one received gift.
As they started home, filled with
happiness, Sister stopped Angelo,

Next morning all the children

Sister would not put the things on
the tree till after school when they
were gone, they knew that. She
wanted the trimmed tree TO be a

calmly.

tactfully, as she lifted the angel
from the box. The back of it was
just plain white except, as Sister
noticed when she held 1t up, Ange-

with crayons.
"Oh, two faces!" cried the chill

In its illustrated booklet,

of these animals as follows:

O'Nein Sets Forth
Unique Application
For CaInpaign 0pene!

With That's Billy O'Neill' as
the theme, 1900 Ohio citizens,
primarily from the 18th Con-
gressional District, met and talk
ed with candidate for governor,
C. William O'Neill, Monday night
at a giant tent rally in McCon-
nelsville.
AS the song, written to the
tune of That's Peggy O'Neill,' -
proclaims, 'the next leader of
our state" shook hands with all
of his guests as eight cameramen
took pictures. The photographs
will later be distributed individ-
ually. The visitors enjoyed a
picnic buffet supper which was
accompanied by band music and
group singing.
In a short speech following the
dinner, O'Neill pointed out that
the development of an adequate
system of highways" is Ohio's
first problem. He said that there
now is a real opportunity for
alleviating traffic tie-ups in
urban areas and for improving
roads in rural sections.
O'Neill further stressed the
need for conservation of natural
resources, particularly water, and
stated that Ohio'S water supply
will bring more industry to the
the state. He urged also the need
for an improved state school
program.
Congressman John E. Hender-
son. of Cambridge, flew back
from Washington for the meet
ing. State representatives, state
and local candidates and Rep
ublican officials from the seven
counties of the 18th District
came to the meeting which is
the first of a series of ten to be
held in Ohios Congressional
Districts.

John Stuart Mill, the great

protection against the tyranny of
the political rulers. The aim,
therefore, of patriots was 10 set
limits to the power which the
ruler should be suffered to eXer-

the limitation is what they meant
by liberty.
How true. The founding faith

BE of Good Cheer"

We find the words "be of
good cheer" in at least three
different passages of the New
Testament - Matthew 1927;
John 1888; Acts 27:25.
The first reference describes
Jesus going to the help of His
disciples as they were being
tossed about on the sea during
a storm. AS He approached them
He said, BE of good cheer; it is
L; be not afraid Then we read
that as soon as Jesus entered the
ship, the wind ceased.
The lesson we learn is that
we can be tossed about on the
sea of life. The storm may bear
down upon us. 1t is more than
we can take. We are on the
verge of sinking. But Jesus is
near. He wants to help. With Him
in the vessel as our partner,
we need not be afraid. Fear is
dispeled. Jesus gives peace of
heart and mind.
The second passage is related
to Jesus last discourse with His
disciples before His arrest and
crucifixion. The Lord had told
His followers that because of
their identification with Him
they would expect and would
experience trials, testings, per
secution. There is a system in
the world which is definitely
unqodly and immoral. Anyone
who refuses to conform to 1t is
cursed and pressure is brought
to bear 1t seems too much to
take. There is the temptation to
call it quits. But Jesus exhorts
His disciples to "be OF good
cheer: l have overcome the
world"
There is victory in Christ. Try
as they may the ungodly forces
cannot prevail. They may main
and kill the servants of Jesus
yet by so doing they increase the
number of disciples and only
usher the disciple into the pres
ence of His Lord. In Christ the
Christian can find grace and
peace.
Finally, in Acts 27:25 we have
the record of many men in
| danger of being shipWrecked and
drowned. The Apostle Paul was
on the ship. He had been told
| by God that all would be spared
SO by trusting in Gods promise
and ability, Paul assured his fel-
W-passengers that all was well
So there is reason to be Of good
cheer. With Jesus presence IN
our everyday affairs. the storms
of life are stilled. In Jesus there
is victory and peace Of heart and
mind. Then, knowing that the
living, Almighty God is able tC
do exceeding, abundantly above
what we ask or think, there is
cause for JOY as we trust Him tc
keep His promises and see Hin
work. Roy +. Wlkander

ct. The 84th Congress has done
tnat, and much Of the credit be-
longs to two un-Sung committees
in Congress.
Those are the committees that
handle tax legislation; the House
WAYS 81 Means Committee and the
Senate Finance Committee. Many
months of hard work go into the
preparation of tax bills. There
are 10 TV cameras and very few
naWS stories.
Yet the work those committees
perform has a direct effect on the
pocl1ctbook of every one of Us.
HeIc are some of the things YOU
would see, and hear, if you were
uembcr Of one of those important
cC!nmiCteeS.
All tax legislation must, under
tine Constitution. originate in tie
houSe. and that means the Ways
& 71uanS Committee. Jere Cooper

COP Republican member

The first step toward tax le9is-
latiou comes when the Pre- idCnt
sends his budget message to Con-
rresS. Then the Treasury Depart
ment comes up with recommends
tons for raising the revenue need
ed to finance spending called for in
the budget message.
The House Committee then be-
gins public hearings that last from
80 TO 80 days. Any citizen is en-
titled TO be heard and no one who
has any suggestion is turned away.
When public hearings have been
completed, the Committee begins
closed sessions with its own tax
experts.
Then begins the tedious and
complicated task of writing a lax
bll that will distribute the tax
burden as fairly as possible, and
Still raise the necessary revenue
to run the Federal Government.
A major portion of that JOB falls
to Colin STAN, who for 18 years
lssS been head of the Senate
House Joint Committee stan of
experts on taxation
Weeks later a tax bill goes to the
al,
schedules it for floor debate.
Amendments may be offered from
the floor.
When the House passes the bill,
it then goes to the Senate and is
referred to the Finance Commit
tee, of which Sen. Harry F. Byrd
OF Virginia is chairman, and Wal
ter George OF Georgia is the No. ,
Democrat. Ranking Republican
member is Eugene D. Millikin of
Colorado.
AS on the House Committee
most OF the Senators have served
many wears. Also like the House
Committee, the Senate Finance
Committee calls on the Treasury
Tor advice and then begins public
hearings where those who will be
affected by the proposed law may
again be hcarC. After rcv!siOnS,
the bill is sent to the floor for
debate
After Senate passage of a tax
bill it then goes to conference bc-
tween the Senate and House, with
each OF the committees naming
three majority and two minority
members TO represent it. After the
coniereas have agreed, the bill goes
back 10 the House and then to the
Senate for final vote befor" going
TO the White House for the Presi-
oen S signature.
