ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 5.-House
and Senate fiscal conferees
hope to hammer out a tax
program to meet a $50 million
deficit today.
Both Senator John Grason
Turnbull and DELEGATE A..
Gordon Boone, fiscal chairmen,
said they planned to submit a
program to the Legislature
sometime today.
But not even the most
courageous Of the conferees
would hazard a guess as to
what the program will be.
That is the confusing situa-
ton here with about SO hours
to go before this 30-day session
is slated to end. Leaders. how
ever, expressed confidence they
will win approval of a tax pro-
gram before the adjournment
deadline.
Dozen Plans Studied
One conferee early today said
at least a dozen tax plans are
being studied.
"CroSs-currents of thinking
are too strong to be able to
tell what compromise we will
come up WITH" another re-
ported.
But generally speaking there
is a feeling that If the con-
ferees should recommend a
percentage increase in the sales
tax rate, floor leaders will be
unable to get it through the
Legislature.
1t appears the burden of the
tax rise will have to be Shout
dered by the income tax.
Sentiment for increasing the
income tax rate so per cent
and lowering personal exemp-
tons from $500 to $500, how
ever, was cooling down last
night.
Politics a Factor
One reason is that a single
phase tax program would be
dubbed a Democratic pro-
gramr
II the legislators stick with
some semblance Of Republican
Gov. McKeldin's recommends
tons for so per cent increases
in both the sales and income
tax rates, he and his party will
have to bear the tax cross, one
legislator said.
The other reason is the sud-
den realization that such an
income tax program would hit

ment Committee, appointed
last year on the recommended
ton of Supervisor Joseph Free
hill, asked for tax relief for
farmers and specifically re-
quested that the personal prop
erty tax be eliminated on
livestock and equipment.
It was on Mr.. Freehill's mo-
ton that the action was taken
today.
The repor said the cost to
the county would be small. It
said 1t would amount to
slightly over $4,000. It said
this would encourage farmers
to continue operating.
The committee also recon-
mended that the county. find
new tax revenues which would
come largely from urban areas.
The committee was headed
by Charles M. Plat, vice
chairman of the Northern
Virginia Planning and Eco
nomic Development Commits
eion's Fiscal Survey Committee.
The report noted that in
1855 there were 877 active
farming enterprises in the
county. Since then 127 have
gone out of business.
The committee said that
rising taxes are not the only
factor that Is driving farmers
out Of Fairfax County" but
said it is "a significant factor.
AS an example, the report
said that in 1910 one farm paid
q real estate tax Of $3.50 and
virtually no personal property
tax on its livestock and equip
ment, while at present the real
estate tax on the farm is over
$500 and the personal property
tax on livestock and equipment
is more than 5000.
The committee said that

Lee Sees Lack
Of Party Unity

There is no Democratic slate
in Montgomery County that
has the backing of any fac
ton. E. Brooke Lee told 50
Democrats last night in Silver
Spring.
There is no such thing as

clared the longtime Demo-

for a compromise collapsed
Monday night when the Demo-
cratic caucus group rejected
a slate proposed by the regular
organization.

The rally adopted the follow
ing two resolutions:
/. Selecting candidates for
public Office is public business
and should be done in the full
open view Of the public and Of
the press as representatives Of

2. Secret political meetings

Can you imagine how you would
feel if you were a 36-year-old man
and had been told that you could
not even run your power lawn
mower? Bob Miller of Newark can
tell you, for that is what the heart
specialist told Bob a couple of
weeks ago. Neither can he do any
work this summer. You probably
remember Bob Miller, who came to
teach in Milford school in 194S and
stayed for seven years. For several
years he taught section of the
sixth grade; the rest of the time
he taught junior high school gen.
eral science. He coached baseball
and assisted with football.
Last May while at school, Bob
Miller had a heart attack and was
rushed to Delaware Hospital He
and his family thought that he had
made a good recovery, and he start
ed teaching again in September
Everything went fine until the first
part of November when he had a
bad heart attack, developed pneu-
monia, and went into shock. For
three days, after he entered Del
aware Hospital in November, his
condition was SO critical that he
could not be moved even to wash
him or to change the bed linen.
For days it was doubtful if he
would live; the doctors even told
his wife that they could not hold
out any hope His expenses during
this illness were great. For three
weeks he needed nurses around
the clock; his brothers and sisters
banded together and met that ex-
