Labor Leaders
Rally Backing
ForWoge Bill

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 9 tP.-La-
Dor leaders rallied support today
for a prevailing wage bill which
is expected to come up for a
showdown vote in the House of
Delegates Monday night.
At the same time they mapped
plans to oppose in public hear
ings next week bills which would
outlaw the union shop in Mary
land and curb union activity in
strikes and secondary boycotts.
The legislation was discussed
at an all-day meeting of the
Maryland-District of Columbia
Federation of Labor, which drew
about 200 delegates from
throughout the State.
Labor officials Warned

Prince Georges. a leading hacker

financial outlook WIN become
available Friday, when the rev.
enue estimators are scheduled
to give the money committees
their revised forecasts for the
fiscal year beginning July /.
Members of the Little North
rop Committee say there seems
to be stronger sentiment for a
combination of several small
revenue-raising devices than for
a fiat increase in the sales or
income taxes. which had been
mentioned earlier in the legis-
lative session.
The Montgomery County SEN
ator's mention of the graduated
income tax was the first report
that such a levy was under con-
sideration. A report by a legis-
lative council committee under
Northrop two years ago showed
that 81 of the 20 States with any
income tax at all used the grad
uated scale method of leyying
rather than the fiat rate.

Measure Killed in 1855
A similar measure was passed
by the House in 1855 but was
killed in the Senate Judicial
Proceedings Committee.
Mr.. Lee also announced today
that he will sponsor a bill Mon
day proposing an amendment to
a controversial bill he shep-
herded to passage over the Gov
ernor's veto last year.
The law passed instructs prop
erty assessors to assess farm
land on that basis only and not
as If subdivided. 1t was designed
to protect legitimate farmers
from having to pay higher taxes
because Of the growth Of sub
divisions in the area.
Mr.. Lee said he decided on the
proposed amendment because Of
a recent Baltimore County case
in which the Crown Cork and
Seal Co. tried to use this law to
get an agricultural assessment
on a farm it owned. Although
the farm was leased at the time
to a tenant farmer, it already
had been rezoned for industrial
use.
The new bill directs the State
Tax Commission to establish
criteria for determining what is
or is not legitimate farm land.
The criteria would include zon-
ing Of the land. its present and
past use. its productivity. ano
the ratio Of farm or agricul-
tural use to other uses"
Incentive Awards Proposed
A system of cash incentive
awards for State employees in

Senator Northrop said a SINH

saved the Federal government
$l02 million at a cost of Sc mil
lion last year.
The bill provides cash rewards
for state employees for sug-
gestions, inventions, superior
accomplishments or other per-
sonal efforts contributing to the
efficiency economy, or other i'm

INorfhrop Group
Hunts Sum for
Teachers Raise

| ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 8 (P).-Sen.
ator Edward S. Northrop, DEM
ocrat of Montgomery, said today
a special committee of Demo-
cratic Senators was scouting to-
day for SO million in new reve-
nues to balance the Maryland
budget and finance "some kind
of pay raise" for teachers.
Mr.. Northrop, head of the
ieight-man committee set up in
a party caucus several weeks ago,
said the group will hold its
fourth meeting tomorrow after
noon.
I Although no definite plan had
taken shape at three previous
meetings, he said, the committee
has shown some interest" in
four new possibilities for raising
the money it seeks.
They include new taxes on
soft drinks and and on savings
and loan association funds, an
increase in the beer tax, and a
revised form of income tax. The
income levy revision would pro-
vide for a graduated tax similar
to the Federal income tax.
rather than the present fiat
rate.
Cost Estimated
Bills to increase teachers pay
$400 a year beginning next Sep
TENDER and $400 more one year
later are pending in both the
Senate and the House. Each
raise would cost an estimated
$11 million.
Gov. McKeldin has proposed
a tobacco tax to raise about 81
million which State financial ex-
Iperts said would be needed to
close the gap between expected
revenues and the governors 1888
million recommended appropria-
tons.
There have been many signs
that the 81 million figure will be
changed.
Comptroller J. Willard Tawes
has told legislative committees

may have overestimated prob
able sales and income tax re-
.ceipts by a total of Sis million.

All Paris Shares q Happy Secret

4 PARIS - Little puddles

youngster named Lindbergh

nightsticks. walked up and
down the Champs Elysees
oblivious to the russell leaves
over their heads and blind to

over the trees like q dark salt
cellar.

want so much to rebuild my life
and make a decent home for my
children.
The problem is. as a result
Of the vicious campaign my
Sister-in-law waged against me.
there has been a good deal of
gossip about me in the COM.
munity. Martin. the man I
am contemplating marrying.
doesn't believe a word Of it.
but his mother does. He is
seriously disturbed about her.
How can I convince her Of my
innocence?
Martin M am the only one
Of my mothers five children
left in our home community,
so 1t is important that she like
and accept my wife. Otherwise
she will be entirely alone. AS
things now stand, she says she
doesn't want to see me or my.
wife If I marry Harriet.
Harriet has begged to meet
my mother and has even
written to her. She saws she
is sure she can convince her
that she is nothing like what
those gossipS say, but nv
mother is very stubborn and
refuses to meet her. She even
tore up Hsrriet's letter.
I am at a loss to know what
to do. I have never been so
happy in my life as I have
been in the time I've known
Harriet. NY mother thinks it's
ridiculous for me to marry a
woman with four children. but
I really love her. Yet / know
this marriage would destroy
my mother.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Harriet appears to be lead
ing with her jaw for another
experience like her last one.
For some reason she seems To
be attracted to. and to attract.
men who are under the in
duence of some other woman.
Harriet's husband must have
been a pretty weak character
to allow his sister to influence
him against his wife. and Mar
tin Is certainly not much
stronger. At the age Of 38 he
should have enough Self-con-
fidence to be able to choose a
wife without undue influence
from his mother.
OF course, consideration for
MS mother Is natural, but Mar
tin should realize if he were
firm in his own Judgment and
took a clear. hard stand in this
his mother would be
swayed by him. If she were
not convinced on the subject OF
Harriet'S innocence" she
would at least be convinced her
son had truly found the woman
Of his choice.
In this case, considering
age. her opposition to
the match would be unfair and
unreasonable and Martin would
have every reason to disregard
It.
AS things now stand Martins
own hesitation gives his mother
the power to control this Situ-'
alton. Harriet is very foolish
TO again place herself in the
position Of having to fight some
other woman for a man. There
is no basis here for the decent
home life" she wants to create.
unless Martin suddenly makes
himself a free agent.
