Relays Q ToIe
OF Connie Brown
By GEORGE KENNEDY

One Of the towards that
has come to the Rambler, as
q result Of his migrating to
Washington and his eventual
employment by The Star, is
his acquaintanceship with
Constantine Brown
When the Rambler was a
cub reporter on a fresh-water
paper, Constantine Brown,
who is not much older, was
an international by-line.
To know him is to love him.
The best the Rambler can
do at the moment is to pass
on this story. Brownie is very
fond of Aurelio and very
proud Of his success. Aurelio
was a Philippine mess boy
on the flagship Of Admiral
Bristol, who commanded our
Mediterranean squadron off
the Dardanelles in the SEEM
ingly difficult days after
World War /. Brownie was
Istanbul correspondent for
the Chicago, Daily News Syn
dicate.
One can understand his
fondness for Aurelio. Aurelio
probably was prompt about
providing coffee. He must
remind Brownie of those days
when William D. Leahy, later
President Roosevelt's wartime
chief Of staff, was second in
command. It was in those
days that Brownie had a
world scoop on the burning
of Smyrna in 1923. It's now
Izrnir.

District would take in Washing
ton. Alexandria. Falls Church.
Arlington and Fairfax Counties
in Virginia and Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties in
Maryland.
1t would be authorized to
establish fares and approve
routes, matters which now rest
with the regulatory agencies of
the District and the two States.
With respect to taxicabs, it
would regulate only interstate
rates. The measure also may
provide the commission with
some power over minimum in
surance coverage for cabs
moving in interstate service.
Virginia Restriction
While the proposal would
contemplate regulation of mass
transit within the District and
within the suburban Maryland
area, Virginia officials consider
that their States constitution
would preclude its public utili-
ties agencies handing over
control of interstate public
transportation.
Presumably, the Interstate
Commission would transfer its
authority over interstate bus
fares, such as those for lines
running between Virginia and
the District, to the new au-
thority.
A traffic and highway board
would be set up to advise the
new transit commission. This
board would include the CHAIR
man Of the transit commission,
heads Of traffic and highway
departments in the various
jurisdictions and one member
each from the National Capital
Planning Commission and the
National Capital Region al
Planning Council.
The transit c o m m ssion
would not be vested with any
operating powers. such as the
authority to buy, build. con-
struct or run transit lines.
Congress would have to act
on the measure. not only with
respect to the local authority
in the District. but to permit
the interstate compact between
the District and the two States.

AURELIO ALWAYS said in
those days that there would
come a time when he would
come to Washington and
work for Brownie. And so he
did. Later Aurelio advanced
himself, with Brownies bless
ing. He went to work for
former Ambassador Joseph
E. Davies mission to Moscow
and more recently for Sena-
tor Kennedy of Massachu-
sets.
Brownie read in the So
ciety columns that Senator
Kennedy was in Florida and
felt confident that he could
have Aurelio's services for a
party. And so. he invited
guests for a Monday night.
On Saturday, Aurelio tele-
phoned to say the weather in
Florida was so unsatisfactory
that Senator Kennedy was
returning on the week end
and that he, Aurelio, would
be unable to buttle for Mr..
Browns dinner party. What
20 do?
Brownie, who has many
contacts, remembered that
an excellent waiter, a Bavar-
ian named Henry, who once
had charge of room service
at the Carlton, was working
for Fan and Bill's.
Brownie called Harry
Cohen, proprietor of the
restaurant, and asked If he
could have Henry's services
on Monday night. Although
1t meant a switch in Henry's
day off, it was arranged.

Southeast community and a
challenge to its residents to
meet the necessary matching
funds" Mr.. McDonough said.
Clearance was challenged
yesterday on the House floor
by Representative Abernathy,
Democrat of Mississippi. He
insisted Maryland taxpayers
ought to bear their share of
costs. At least Prince Georges
County residents should be
taxed for the hospital to the
extent of the District tax con-
tribution, he said.
Would End Bills
Then, he attacked the whole
basis of the 1916 Hospital Gen.
ter Act. which the bill amends.
This act has freed Federal
matching funds, to be repaid
in part by the District, for hos
pital construction amounting to
millions Of dollars In Northwest
and Northeast Washington.
Bills to help the District
build hospitals ought to come
to an end" he told the House
I'VE pay for our own hospitals
In our home States"
He said the Southeast Wash
ington Hospital would be To-
Gated right square on the

Maryland Tax Needs

John Grayson Turnbull and
Senator Thomas F. Dempsey
Of Baltimore City. Both pre-
viously had announced they
would not seek reelection.
Governors Reaction
Both Republican floor lead
ers voted against their party
chief on the teacher pay mat
ter. Gov. McKeldin expressed
disappointment but no surprise
except for the overwhelming
nature Of the vote.
/ A few minutes later, the
Governor noted in his state OF
the State message that $184
million of the total 1886 mil
lion budget is collected and
then distributed to the political
subdivisions for their use.
The teacher pay bill carries
with it a 3-cent a pack tax on
cigarettes that will go into
effect July /. The new State
tax will make the total levy
on cigarettes in Baltimore City
and County eight cents a pack.
In addition to imposing new
cigarette tax this year, the leg
islators face recommendations
of the Governor to put into
effect SO per cent increases in
both the sales and income tax
rates before the November elec-
tons.
Montgomery County Manager
M. L. Reese is reported to feel
that the county would have to
abandon its own 2-cent-a-pack
tax next July in order for busi-
nessmen to meet competition
from across the District Of Co
lumbia line. The present tax in
the District is only Q cents.
This would mean 100000 in
cigarette tax revenues the coun-
ty expects to get this year would
have TO be made up in the
new budget from other sources.

Other Action Needed
The same proposed legisla-

Virginia Governor Almond,

Mr.. Wharton explained the

The growth Of unemployment

by these figures: Total benefits
