New Trial Set
May Is for
Gus BusiIiko

A new trial for Constas Gus
Basiliko, convicted last March
Iof conspiring to defraud the
State of Maryland by land spec
Iulation along the route of US.
|240, has been set for May Is in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court at Rockville.
Basiliko won the new trial on
an appeal to the Maryland Court
of Appeals from a conviction in
Montgomery before Judges
Kathryn Lawlor and Thomas M.
Anderson. The high court struck
down Basiliko's $1,000 fine and
Itwo-year sentence in the House
|of Correction on grounds that
Ia civil suit filed against him
during the trial by Judge Sted-
man Prescott, then chief Judge
of the county's Circuit Court,
Iprejudiced his rights.
The judge and his wife sued
Ito recover land they claimed
Basiliko and others fraudulently
purchased. The case was settled
out of court.
Montgomery States Attorney
IAlger Y. Barbee expressed con-
Ifidence at the time Basiliko won
the new trial on February 10
that Ben Du Pre-, former roads
commission right-of-way engi-
neer who was granted immunity
to testify against the defendant,
will be available for a new trial
if his testimony is needed.

the school budget request is cut
by the Board of Supervisors, the
capital outlay item would be the
first to go. The supervisors can
not cut specific items from the
school budget. The capital out
lay item would be used principal
ly for buying equipment for three
new high schools, which normally
is bought with bond funds.
1t was learned that the board
also agreed in short executive
session to seek a meeting with
the supervisors on raising the
teachers pay. Teachers are be-
ing brought up in the new
budget to a scale of $1,000 to
$4,000 which was agreed on last
year, However. some members
felt that the scale, which is be-
low salaries proposed in neigh
boring Jurisdictions, might re-
suit in a recruiting problem.
To Add 176 Teachers
The board proposes to hire
176 new teachers next year.
In another budget action, the
board agreed unanimously to put
any school fund SURPRISES Of
future years in construction
fund. This was suggested by Mr..
Hudgins. who said that the
board would have to turn all un-
used funds back to the super
visors.
Board, members expressed
doubt that it would be legal to
put unused money in a con-
Struction fund. but agreed to
approve the policy and see what
happens.

Pennsylvania the same amount
with an extra $500 in the first
two years, New Jersey $500 with
Ia bill pending to boost it to
So 800. and the District Of Co.
lumbia $4,000. The three north
Iern Virginia counties around
Washington pay $1,000 to start.
Nearby Competition Cited
Mr.. Lee said Maryland's larg-
est counties and Baltimore city
are already above scale, but that
the increase is needed there as in
smaller counties.
I'VE feel an increase Of $40C
is necessary in order to keep in
strong competition with the
States cited) and hire the best
teachers" Mr.. Lee said. I'VE can
not see justification in a $500
raise" =
The Department of Education
had been asked for a boost OF
$400 this year and $4O0 more
next year.
Mr.. Lee said the cost of the
program will be $l1,556,270 for
the first year. including teacher
retirement benefits and social Sc
curity contributions by the State.
The teacher pay and tax bills
will not be brought out of COM
mittee until the House has COM
pleted action on Gov. Nickel
din's million budget Mon
day night or Tuesday.
The Governor is expected
Monday to approve legislation
which will unfreeze $40 million
in reserve income taxes in order
to balance the budget and sleays

bCCu PiOPOoC0 Wy SOullGJ GACCQ-
tive Carlton c. Massey. At the
time it was proposed Mr.. Massey
said the budget would require a
tax rate hike of % cents. Since
then the supervisors have turned
down a proposed auto license tax
increase. which could result in
another 9-cent tax increase. The
z cents involved in the school
board action yesterday would
bring the total needed tax boost
to 80 cents unless supervisors
lind new sources of revenue or
trim budget requests.
The tax rate now is 1920 per
500 property evaluation.
Approved by 4 to 2 Vote
The school budget was ap-
proved by a 4 to 2 vote. For il
were c. Turner Hudgins, Clyde
w. Gleason. Merton S. Parsons
and Chairman Hills Lory. OPP
posed were Samuel S. Solomon
and Theodore S. Heriot. Mr.
Lory opposed the capital outlay
addition in discussion of individ-
ual items but agreed to approve
the total budget figure.
Added to the budget were
S255,277 for pay-as-you-go CAPT.
tai OUTLAWS for some school equip
ment; S3.445 for additional en-
ploye retirement fund contribu-
tons. and $4,000 for extra-curri-
cular science activities. A sum of
S15.600 for a dentist and pur-
chase of an audiometer were cut
out because these services were
in the Health Depart
ment budget.
The net change was a $245, 1872
increase.
Board members agreed that if

tax to become effective July !.
Prevailing sentiment seemed to
favor the sales tax boost, al
though committee members will
not make a final decision on It
until next week. Some seemed
to feel it will go farther toward
meeting new revenue problems
expected next year and will
therefore run less chance of q
veto by the Governor.
Delegate Blair Lee, Democrat
of Montgomery. head of the
special six-man subcommittee
which studied the teacher prob
lem, said his group made no
specific recommendation on the
tax question feeling it was a mat
ter for the full committee to
decide.
Other Revenue Proposals
He indicated he personally IA
vored the sales tax but would
not decide finally until all angles
had been explored.
The committee also will con-
slider the tobacco tax and other
revenue proposals advanced this
session. but Mr.. Lee indicated
these did not hold a sufficient
answer to the problem.
The committee adopted in Sc
cret session the subcommittee
recommendations for boosting
salaries an average of $400 per
teacher and agreed to write the
tax bill into the pay bill as a
package. Members also tenta-
lively approved an amendment
to require that counties and Bal
timore City now paying above
State minimum scales would
apply the extra money strictly
to teacher pay.
In explaining the need for an
Increase, the subcommittee noted
