Tax Increase In
State Is Seen
BY Gov. MckeIdin
More Money Required To
Run Government, Lions
Club Is Told

Governor McKeldin warned
Maryland taxpayers Monday night
to expect another pinch from the
state next year and asked that his
veto of school teacher pay in
crease be sustained.
He said a preliminary look at
the budget to be presented to the
General Assembly next February
shows more money will be needed
to run the state government.
The Governor spoke to the Oak
land-Mt Lake Park Lions club and
their guests at the annual Ladies
Night program, held at the South
ern High school cafeteria.
McKeldin revealed that the State
Department of Education has asked
for an increase of more than Sc
million dollars in its next budget
which educators explained was
largely because of the increase in
school enrolment
Even if we wanted to reduce
these requests drastically there
would be little hope Of accomplish
ing such reduction" McKeldin
said, more than ga million dol
lars of the total are mandatory APP
preparations required by law"
The governor did not mention
how much other departmental re-
quests may go up but did use the
occasion to plump for the Legisla
ture not to override his veto of a
school teacher pay bill.
He explained that he vetoed the
bill last year because l believed,
even in those pre-sputnik times, as
l have believed for many years,
that the civil division of the state
must not abandon their primary
responsibility for support of our
public schools"
He said he believes school teach
ers should be paid more but that
increases should be paid by civil

Hackers See
Tax Trap in
|Questionnaires

Some District taxicab drivers
have indicated they will not re-
turn missionaries sent to
them by a congressional SUBJ
committee. because they fear In
ternal Revenue Service investi-
cations.
Most cab drivers, however,
were expected to fill out the
missionaries. Danny Angelotti,
a taxi driver who was instru-
mental in passing petitions
among drivers asking Congress
to improve working conditions
for the drivers. said it was in
their best interests to fill in
and return the missionaries
promptly.
This is the first time Congress
has ever really come to us to ask
what we think" said Mr.. Ange-
lotti. This is not an income
tax trap and if we don't return
the missionaries we're passing
up the only opportunity we may
ever have to better conditions
for the taxi driver here"
1000 Get Forms
The House District Subcom-
mittee on Insurance, Public
Utilities and Taxicabs announced
yesterday it is sending ques-
tionnaires to more than 1000
licensed hackers and cab
owners in the District.
The QUESTIONABLE asks about
the hackers incomes and wheth-
Ter the person filling it out filed
tax returns. Some drivers said
they believe such a question:
naire would amount to entrap-
|ment.
Independent drivers, tax Of
lflcials have conceded, are hard
to check on when operating on
q zone fare system. Lack of
records on earnings makes it
hard to pin down taxable in
come.
The QUESTIONABLE was pre-
pared under orders of Repre-
sentative league, Democrat Of
Texas. chairman of the sub
committee. It's purpose is to get
information on which to con-
slider possible changes in the
regulation of the taxicab indus
TRY here. Hearings probably
will be scheduled sometime later
in this session of Congress by
the subcommittee.
Meter Proposal
One Of the most controversial
proposals is for replacement Of
the zone fare system with
meters. The QUESTIONABLE asks
drivers to declare their prefer
ence. The QUESTIONABLE also
asks drivers to comment on
Limitation of the number of
drivers. insurance coverage,
whether they rent, lease, own or
are buying their cab and how
titles are made out.
A study completed by House
District Committee Clerk Will
liam N. Mcleod. jr.. last Deem
Der still has not been released.
However, it is understood the re-
port recommends meters, limita-
ton on the number of drivers
and higher insurance coverage.

The former president Of

day called on Catholics to
stress Intellectual accomplish
.ments In order to raise their
stature.
The Rev. John J. Cavanaugh.
head Of Notre Dame from ie46
TO 1881 and now director Of
the University Of Notre Dame
Foundation. called for "a rem
.aissance Of respect for culture
sand scholarship" In our homes.
Speaking at q communion

Society in the Mayfiower Hotel.
the speaker warned Catholics
must not rationalize their low
estate in American intellectual
affairs.
Many Jewish Leaders
American Jews, he pointed
out are q minority group,
! largely "an immigrant people
WHO must fight bigotry. but
they are producing leaders

"Where are the Catholic

why are We not more prouli-

Teachers Too Oiaactle?
Or Is it. he asked. because
sour teaching methods are too
didactic. catechetical. that we
DO not stimulate in students
the spirit Of critical study and
lxcite them To the Adventures
of imaginative work in the
sciences and arts?"
The Catholic educator
pointed out that mot q single

among the top colleges and
universities in a four cate
CORY survey conducted re-
Gently by q metropolitan
newspaper.
He then noted. referring to
his status as q member Of the
board for the Fund for Adult
Education Of the Ford Founda-
ton. that In the last six
years we have given away 500
million and in the next five
years We will give another SIT
million for liberal adult edu-
} cation. Not a single Catholic
program Of adult education has
] received q dime. This has been
due not to bigotry but to the
fact that there has not been
one request made to meet the
conditions that the fund lays
down"
But Father Cavanaugh said
an intellectual revolution is
now under way in Catholic
institutions Of higher learning
aimed at producing more out

PREACHING AS We WALK

Every life is preaching life.
What Gospel are you preaching
by your life, by your walk? Are
you walking in love? Is that your
manner and habit? Walking by
faith? Is that the standard of
your conduct? Walking as chill
dren of the light? Does your life
illumine as you pass by? Do peo-
pie feel better because they
have seen you as they went to
business in the morning? Does
seeing you lift all their thoughts
onto "a loftier plane, and make
the day a cleaner day? You
preached as you walked.-Rev.
John Macbeath.
