BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. IA
(SpeciaD. Mayor Thomas
D'AleSandro. after a con-
ference with city councilmen
and budget officials. today an
nounced that agreement had
been reached to reduce the
proposed advertising tax here
from rs per cent to 4 per cent
but leave the gross receipts
tax on advertising at 2 per cent.
The Mayor said the reduction
will be made possible because
of cuts in appropriations and
a reappraisal of revenue esti-
mates for 1858.
The Mayor met for two hours
with members of the City
Council Budget and Finance
Committee, council president
Leon Abramson and top off,

tors Offices.
His announcement came in
the wake of a hearing last
night which heard the tax de-
nounced by a former Judge and
revenue expert as unconstitu-
tional and discriminatory and
defended by city spokesman as
fair and capable Of obtaining
needed funds.
Joseph Sherbow, formerly of
the supreme bench of Balti-
more who headed both a city
and State commission to study
tax structures. told a city
council hearing he felt certain
the levy would be judged un-
constitutional.

said. "has never been adopted

Committee. The majority of Its
seven members left no question
that they favored the bill. One
publicly voiced opposition.
Opposed by Labor Official
Labor spokesman attacked
the tax as a blow at the con-
sumner and presented a substi-
tute program calling for a Z
cent boost in the city's prop
erty tax rate.
Edward Johns, executive Sec
rotary Of the Baltimore FEEDER
alton Of Labor (AFL-CIO), de-
scribed the advertising levy as
a hidden tax" that would be
passed on to the consumer.
The tax would "retard bust
ness and industrial growth

ness from the city," declared

FILA Takes Action

Subsequently the FILA took
steps as a preferred stock
holder to take over manage
ment of the corporations. de-
claring that such distribution
violated the corporate charters.
Under terms of today's
agreement the stockholders Of
the corporations are to return
to the corporation cash and
other assets totalling about
$1.S million which are to be
placed in a reserve account
controlled by FILA.
In addition, the corporations
are to transfer to the reserve
account $265,000 from surplus
cash otherwise distributable as
dividends.
The FILA had commended that
the Alexandria project was
built for about $1.8 million less
than the guaranteed loan which
was made in 1949. 1t was al
legged that some of the sponsors
of the project received 1913 in
dividends on every 81 they in
vested.
The controversy resulted in
a test case before Federal
Judge Albert v. Bryan in
United States District Court,
Alexandria.
He held that the dividend
distributions violated the terms
of the corporate charters, les
sened FILA security as insurer
of the loan and entitled FILA as
preferred stakeholder to take
over management Of the cor
porations. His decision was af-
firmed on appeal.
Dividends Recovery Sought
Assistant Attorney General
George Cochran Doub declared
that the settlement represents
one of the largest recoveries of
"windfall" profits. Since the
more than 81 million in assets
are to be controlled by FILA,
the latter can draw on such
funds in the event of any de-
fault on the $13.S million in
sured loan.
Today's settlement was seen
as paving the way for similar
agreements in windfall cases in
other parts OF the country.
The Shirley Duke affair,
along with similar windfall
profits cases, was the subject Of
a congressional investigation in
1854. Shirley-Duke consists of
six corporations. The develop
ment consists of 200 three
story buildings containing 2,ll3

ton among the different areas.
Speed Urged
Arlington should give very
serious consideration to merg-
ing with Alexandra, Falls
Church and Fairfax County
into one Northern Virginia
city," Mr.. Berkey said.
Groundwork and planning
for such a consolidation should
be started now, he said, be-
cause such a city is going to
hit us before we are ready for
it if we don't. We must meet it
head-on."
Mr.. Berkey's suggestion came
as an answer to several prob

which were pointed up in q
recent report by consultant
George C. Smith on the coun-
tvs commercial development.
Mr.. Smiths study showed
that Arlington rapidly is as

Mr.. Berkey recommended
consolidation in Northern Vir-

tanning a dynamic city and
not a static area" in Arling-

entire tax base would be broad
