He added that alternative taxes
could well impose unequal bur-

This obviously referred to the
tremendous chunk of total rev.

A payroll tax would levy a
low rate, probably one half or
one per cent of gross payrollsr

District. They would pay the
city and deduct the tax from

Carries the Burden
Now so, Gov. Almond is Vir-
ginia's chief executive at a diff
flcult time. BY his election
campaign, he is committed to a
course of massive resistance
against indignation. He has
promised to do his best to pre-
serve public education in Vir-
GINA, but has vowed that this
cannot be done by permitting
integration. The States anti
indignation laws put the burden
of coping with the school crisis
on the Governors shoulders by
giving him discretion to say II
a school closed by indignation
can be reopened by a locality
When his current four-year
term ends Gov. Almond cannot
be a candidate to succeed him
self, but no one believes he is
anywhere near retiring from
politics. The United States
Senate is his most likely future
aspiration.
Unlike some Of his colleagues
in the Virginia Democratic or

backs on President Truman,
Gov. Almond stuck by his par
ty. And he had the audacity
to comment.
There are things in the
Democratic Party with which
l disagree, but I think we can
do more to correct these things
by remaining in the party than
by going outside. The only

Alternative Plan
By a star star Correspondent

BY star Stan Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-The
Maryland State Roads Com
mission today was urged to
adopt a wait-and-see policy on
plans for a connection between
the Washington Circumferen-
tial and East-West highway.
A delegation from the North
Chevy Chase area led by State
Senator Edward S. Nortfrop,
Democrat of Montgomery, and
former Senator Gerald P. Nye,
conferred with Commission
Chairman Robert o. Bonnell
and his staff for more than 80
minutes today.
The delegation urged that
the 1.4-mile link not be built
until other roads in the area
are improved and new traffic
studies made.
Widen Jones Mill Road
Senator Northrop suggested
as an alternative the widening
of Jones Mill road from East
West highway to its proposed
connection with the circumfer-
ential.
A Chevy Chase land company
representative proposed an al
tentative that would skirt an
apartment development it owns
and use Jones Bridge road from
just west of Connecticut ave-
nue. to Coquelin run.
Mr.. Bonnell emphatically de-
MED reports that the proposed
link was being developed as an
arrow aimed at Rock Greek
Park"
He said, however, that the
roads commission could not sit
by without planning for the fu-
ture and added that the COM
mission must be prepared to
handle traffic if the District of
Columbia ever decides to build
a commuter road along the
park as a rsdial leading into
Maryland.
No Doubt on Park
And he went on to say that
there was no doubt in his mind
that a roadway eventually
would be built either through
or along the edge of the park.
Senator Northrop and his
group urged the commission to
concentrate its efforts on con-
Struction of the Circumferential
and the widening of Connect
icut avenue.
The latter project is sched-
uled to be put under contract
this year, Mr.. Bonnell said. He
added that the commission
could proceed no faster than it
is on the Circumferential. Con-
tracts for all bridges on the
Belt road between Wisconsin
avenue and University boule-
ward will be let this year and
the roadway next year, he said.
