doneQ nope Tor a quick SeCCle-
ment Of its tax dispute early
today. it was still March 4 by
Legislative manipulation of rec
lords.
The State constitution de-
crees that the legislature must
enact a balanced budget in 80
days. This year the deadline
was midnight last night.
Veteran legislators say there
hasn't been a situation like
this for 20 years.
The lawmakers were banking
on their constitutional experts
and a hurried opinion of At
torney General C. Ferdinand
Sybert-to sustain their action.
Observers in the State House
say it never has been tested.
Chance Another Round
Whatever the confusion, the
152 legislators endured the
sleepleSS routine of the last few
nights so well they were will
ing to chance another round of
deadlocks today and tonight.
Before the clock in the House
and Senate were turned back,
a bill aimed at remedying hec-
tic session windups vanished
into a limbo of the House Jul
dietary Committee.
Spurred by the wrangling
over Slot-machine casinos and
jai alai arenas. the Senate
earlier this week passed a bill
providing that future 30-day
sessions should be restricted to
budget and tax matters.
The House unit, however, de-
cided the legislators we're a
tough lot who could wrestle
with confusion-at least once
every two yearS--and threw
the sessions bill to its legisla-
tive council for more study.
Other Developments
There were these other de-
velopments during the day:
Gov. McKeldin signed into
law a bill outlawing slot ma
chimes on a gambling boat and
six piers on the Virginia shore
of the Potomac River. He also
signed a bill forbidding special
taxes on advertising.
In signing the death warrant
on river casinos. he brushed
aside last-minute pleas from
IDelbert and Dennis Conner.
Colonial Beach, Va, and Carl
Hill, operator of a gambling
boat anchored of Freestone
Point, Va. to hold UP action
against their enterprises.
Certain Information"
Gerald F.. Sonnenberg, opera
tor Of a pier with 81 slots at
Fairview Beach. said repre-
sentatives of all the affected
establishments met Sunday,
but decided to wait until the
law is on the books before
taking action.
The delegation in Annapolis
from the Potomac casinos said
they had certain information"
that might change Gov. Nc
Keldin's mind about signing
the measure. They asked a
two-hour delay to present their
case, but the Governor wouldn't
grant the stay.
Joe Bell, who identified him
self as a contractor who did
work at Freestone Point. told
Senate President Louis l.. Gold
stein I'VE have reason to believe
that someone might have a
motive for personal gain in this
thing" but Senator Goldstein
continued on to the Governors
Office for the signing.
The House, meanwhile, gave
final enactment to the States

are talking of what steps they
will take to fight a Maryland
law forbidding the slots. The
measure. passed by the Legis-
lature Wednesday. was signed
by Gov. McKeldin yesterday.
Strangely enough. the slot
palaces came into being be-
cause of laws. One law gave
Maryland ownership of the Po-
tomac to the low-water mark
on the Virginia side. Another
law permitted slot machines in
four Maryland counties, in
GLIDING Charles County.
Sale of liquor by the glass
and gambling are prohibited in
Virginia, across the river. The
result was a string of pier
casinos and a gambling ship on
the Virginia shore.
Profitable Strip
The most profitable slot strip
is believed to be one at Colo
NAL Beach. Va. There, a little
less than 80 miles from WASH
ington, are three casinos with
600 machines which take every
thing from nickels to silver
dollars.
Two of the casinos are OPP

The
Rambler
-. Gets q Briefing
On Booking Shows
By GEORGE KENNEDY


1t seems there are all man.
ner of ways of making a liy-
ing in this Nations Capital.
Some years ago fright after
World War III, the Rambler
remembers meeting a young
man named Jack Morton,
who was president of the
Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
1t was at some service club
luncheon at one of the hotels.
His very attractive wife Ann
was, at the table. After the
luncheon, Lynn Allison, who
used to sing at the Capitol
while Sam Jack Kaufman
kept the orchestra in obbli-
cato, favored us with a song.
Young Mr.. Morton seemed
to know a lot about Miss
Allison. His wife said she was
one of his favorites and
added that he was a booking
agent.
That seemed to be a pc
culiar calling in this town of
trade association executives,
printers and Government
employees. The Rambler
wished him well and didn't
give it a thought until the
other day.
The acquaintance was re-
newed the other morning as
both arrived at National Air
port in separate planes. Jack,
who was returning from
Hollywood, offered the Ram
bier a ride into Washington.
He had a Cadillac in the
parking lot.
The Rambler was unable
to conceal his surprise.
Booking business must be
pretty good" he said.
I'D like to tell you about
It," said Jack. Lets stop at
the Hot Shoppe for coffee"

of my heart. How peaceful
and relaxing it is to pick up
the Bible and read any passage
or part, and then to mediate
and count ones blessings-to
know that in His scheme Of
things, His beautiful will shall
be done.
I find in the Bible the
channel for my life line. As
we rest in His love, peace and
tolerance, charity, compassion
and courage are sure to per-
wade our hearts.
For these reasons and
countless more 7 really think

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
but Jack Morton today has
offices in New York, Chicago,
Miami, Dallas and Hollywood.
He has 81 employees and
his gross annual business has
just passed the half-million-
dollar mark.
Pretty good for an Off
Broadway venture in show
business!
1t all started when Jack,
who is from North Carolina,
was going to CIV and try
ing to make ends meet by
booking bands.
He still remembers the five
most uncomfortable hours in
his life.
ct am not an instru-
mentaliSt," he said. II put
myself down as a drummer,
but / can't even thump a bass
drum in time. I sold Jack
Morton's Orchestra to a
South American diplomat for
an embassy party. Some
one trying to sell another
band for the same party had
told him l was no musician.
"He wanted to be sure on
that score.
"'You will lead your or
cheStra, Mr.. Morton?' he
asked before signing the con-
tract.
"'Oh, yes I said.
"The contract only called
for 8 to IL. At midnight I
thought I was completely
worn out from standing in
front of the orchestra, wav-
ing a baton and making be-
lieve I was conducting them.
1t must have been a good
party despite the conductor.
They had the orchestra play
until 2.
II had a violinist in front
who was doing the actual
leading while playing. He
said he had a tough time,
too; that my performance
was so funny he could hardly
keep from laughing"
