here today by the United States

Teachers Pay and Taxes

Maryland's General Assembly had
no difficulty in making up its mind on a
teachers pay raise. In record time and
by an overwhelming vote, it OVERRIDE
Governor McKeldin's veto Of pay legis-
lation passed at the last session. The
Legislature is certain to have dificulty.
however, in finding ways and means of
meeting the added cost of the raise.
While the teachers pay bill was
supposed to include such means, Gov
ernor McKeldin has warned the Legis-
lature that the proposed three cents tax
on cigarettes, by the pack, will fall short
of meeting the cost by nearly 81 million.
This means that some other way Of rais-
ing the additional money must be found.
But the Assembly already faces the dis
tasteful task Of raising income and sales
taxes by substantial amounts this year.
to meet the new budget. The Governor
has called for SO per cent increase in
both taxes. That was before the teach
ers' pay bill was finally approved. So
the legislators at Annapolis have a big
Job to do tax-wise-one that Is espe-
cially unwelcome In an election year.

BIIboords or Scenery?

One of the favorite arguments of
the billboard promoters is that motorists
need roadside advertising to counterfeit
highway hypnosis, a monotony- induced
dreamlike state that leads to accidents.
The motorists do not seem to be i'm
pressed by this argument, however. A
spokesman for large number of them,
Harry I..Kirk, president of the American
Automobile Association, has made it
plain to Congress that drivers in his
organization prefer roadsides lined with
natural scenery to those walled in by
billboardS"
Mr.! Kinks statement was made in
support of the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Kuchel of California to encourage
State control of roadside signs along the
Al ,O00-mile interstate highway system,
now being built. The AAA has urged
congressional approval of the incentive
plan provided in the Kuchel bill. Under
this plan, States which take adequate
steps to protect scenic portions of the
new highways from outdoor advertising
would receive a bonus in road money
from the Federal Government. The
bonus would consist Of an extra per
cent OF funds from the highway appro-
prtations-or total Of 81 per cent in
stead Of 80 per cent.
This arrangement would leave bill
board regulations to the States, but
would give tagging States cause to speed
legislation toward that end. Unless
Nationwide controls are instituted soon,
the new interstate highway network is
certain to be marred by wooden cur
tain like that which disgraces U. s.
Route /.

The Senate and the Stars

The Senate has done an eminently
sensible thing in voting, Is to /, to set
up a special 13-man committee to help
formulate national policy on revolutions
airy outer-space research and Develop
ment, military and nonmilitary alike.
AS Majority Leader Lyndon johnson
has declared, with the full backing of
Minority Leader Knowland, the need for
such group is as pressing and obvious
as the fact that "our country is stepping
into totally new stage Of history.
Events are crowding upon us thick and
fast and it is urgent that we lay our
basic plans now while there is still time
for reflection. The exploration Of outer
space has moved from the laboratory to
the workshop. And there are far-reach-
Ing implications which we must UNDER
stand"
Right now, with the sponsoring
voices raised in many quarters, there
are all sorts Of projects being proposed
or unc ertaken in the United States to
meet the Soviet challenge in the skies.
Yet the task involved, as Senator john
son has warned, els far too big to be
left to scattered efforts. Somewhere
there must be lodged specific response
bility for Americas effort in outer
space" But who is to take on that re-
Sponsibility? Should it remain in the
Defense Department? Should a brand
new organization be established to
handle it? Or should it be turned over
to one OF our existing civilian-controlle
a.
Commission or the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics? Further,
ought we to draw line in this field, or
can we, between nonmiIitary and mill
tary research and development? The
Air Force, for example, is confident that
1t will be able, with its Thor missile, to
launch a half-ton space vehicle by next
June. Should undertakings of that kind
continue under supervision of the Pen
tagon or should they be made the BUSH
ness of scientists and administrators in
multi?
These are but few of the ques-
tions to be dealt with by the new Senate
committee. Quite obviously there are
no easy answers to them. But the COM
mittee's deliberations (which will in
clude careful consideration of the rec
concentrations to be made by the Presi-
dents scientific advisory group headed
by DR.. Killian-can go far toward put
ting the Nation on the right track to
the stars, especially in the sense Of CO.
ordinating policy and action to insure
that the Soviet Union will not win sole
mastery Of the universe above us.
When one thinks Of the days when
our chief worries revolyed around issues
as simple as prohibition, all this may
seem to be sheer fantasy. But it is
actually as real as life, and the Senate,
in voting to cope with it, has voted
wisely-in keeping with mans new rela-
tionship to the sun, moon and stars.

Police support, Of the boys
clubs has been based upon
the realization that such
support. is a proper police
function. It is a policeman's
duty to prevent crime and
delinquency wherever and by
whatever m cans possible.
The boys club setup offered
an excellent and proved ave-

that.
If the clubs now fold up as
a result of the Commission
ers' withdrawal of police sup

entirely? Will publicity
arouse leading citizens to

Australian BLACK fellows, /"

Or Is it Q case Of something
he acquires and which might
be acquired BY others?
The picture is quite differ

mos who live and are quite

Regarding your editorial,

are not "off limits" for being
concerned about the New

I do not have the answer,
but surely the people in New

their advice to Virginia and
other States concerning a
problem as big as segregation
will find that a small problem
such as rapings. knifings and

for them to solve.
