Session
BY GEORGE FLYNN
star star writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. s.-Two
developments here yesterday
reflected the States increasing
concern with the economic
prospects Of 1858.
1. Gov. McKeldin conceded
that he may be forced to call
O special session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly in April or May
II welfare payments continue
to exceed allotted funds. The ses-
sion would authorize most of
the appropriation.
2. The House of Delegates de-
feated, 1892, a bill which
would have delayed for six
months a scheduled inquiry
into the amount paid by en-
ployers into the unemployment
insurance fund.
The Governor made his
statement after Thomas j. S.
Waxter. director Of the States
Department Of Public Welfare,
reported that the agency dis
tributed $547.32l during Feb
ruary. an increase Of more than
$4,000 over the previous
month.
The agency has avilable cash
allowing payments of only
$552. 200 q month until July, the
end Of the fiscal year. It already
has allowed $564.000 towards
March payment in the belief
that more demands will be
made on 1t because Of the busi-
ness recession.
The legislative action will
permit q setup in the tax rate
levied on payrolls, starting In
June. The rate will 60 UP auto
matically because the unem-
ployment insurance trust fund
is sinking below the $lO5 mil
lion minimum level it must
legally maintain. The assess
ment for the fund varies from
2 to 81 per cent Of payroll,
based on the employment ex-
perience Of the individual firm.
Minority Leader George r.
Hughes, Republican Of ALLIE
gany. told the House the fund
needs to 60 UP. Annual in
come from the department is
about SIT million and they are
paying out at the present rate
Of $1.4 million q week" The
increase will keep the fund
above the minimum level, he
added.

The major job Of locating all
of the residents = many OF

and doughnuts to the flremen,
registered the residents and
provided shelter for several
families.
The registration desk re-
opened this morning for fur

Residents in Panic
There were several scenes OF
panic when residents returned
to find the apartments ablaze
and thought members Of their
families might still be inside
Mrs. Vernon Pettus, who
lived in fourth-floor apart
ment. came home around $3.50
pm. and tried to make her
way through police lines be-
cause she thought her daugh-
ter Vera. 2. had returned home
from school and was inside.
Mrs. Pettus tearfully tried tc
set in all the entrances but was
turned back everywhere. She
finally located Vera. unframed,
at Sis pm.
Mrs. Louise E. Brown. 46, Is
believed to have turned in the
first alarm. She said she had
just come back to her apart
ment in. 2503 with her 19-
month-old son Milton when
she smelled smoke.
Gives Alarm Over Phone
II told my mother Mrs. 8. e.

firemen." Mrs. Brown told a
reporter. IT was so excited that
I screamed into the phone to

Other highlights Of : busy

of the Senate Rules Committee.
No action was taken on his pro-
posals designed to hold down

General Assembly.
City legislators on Wednes-
day succeeded in working out

measure after an all-night fili.

ton.
Dislike Compromise
After the resolution went to
the Senate. country legislators,
including Mr.. Daniel. began
losing enthusiasm for the COM
promise resolution because it
appeared too favorable to the
cities.
This was the last session of
the General Assembly at which
. constitutional amendment to
change reapportionment pro-
cedure could be offered in time
TOR the next redistricting in
1852.
The constitution does not
say what factors should be
considered in reapportioning
House and Senate seats, but it
has been the custom to give
major consideration to popula-
ton.
Action Needed on Budget
The original Daniel resolu-
ton would have required con-
eideration Of land area as well
rs population. The compro-
mise measure approved by the
House after the tilibuster would
have given primary considera-
ton to population, but also
take into account area, con-
tiguity and compactness of the
districts.
The apparent death Of the
Daniel resolution left adoption
of the budget bill as the only
piece Of major legislation left
for action as the Assembly
FASTENED to wind up business.
The Senate yesterday APP
proved its version Of the budget
bill, defeating a last-minute
attempt by State Senators Ar
instead Boothe Of Alexandria
and Ted Dalton Of Radford to
tack Q referendum provision on
the schools fund cutoff require
ment.
Senate Version Rejected
After approval by the Sem
ate the budget bill went back
to the House, which earlier had
approved its own version. The
House. by prearranged agree.
meut, rejected the Senate YER
sion, reluctantly, and the Con-
ference Committee was an.
pointed.
The fund cutoff provision,
which Senators Boothe and
Dalton sought to amend, auto
matically withholds State funds
from any locality where school
Indignation occurs. Their
amendment would have allowed
affected localities to vote wheth-
er they wanted State school
funds restored so they could
continue operating their
schools.
Amendment Defeated
Senator Boothe cited the
amount Of tax money contrib
uted by various localities to
the State and the amount they
would lose if the fund cutoff
takes effect. His own city, he
said, paid more than $2.3 mil
lion In taxes to the State last
year and would lose $67S. 900
through the fund cutoff If it
ever applied there.
The amendment was over
whelmingly defeated by a voice
vote. The Senate then went on
to unanimously approve its
version Of the billion dollar
budget bill.
