on alcoholic beverages. savings

He made it clear he would
ask for an earnings tax Of up to

and individuals in the city re-

This tax would raise SIS mil

lion the second. The city needs

next year.
To raise this amount would
require an increase of 48 to II
cents in the city's real estate
tax, which now stands at 1894
per 500 Of assessed valuation.
Meetings Start Today
The Mayor today will begin a
series Of meetings with council
members to line up their sup
port for the earnings tax.
Members of the Legislature
from the city have insisted that
the Mayor have council sup
port for any program before
they are asked to go to Annap-
oils to help bail the city out
Of its financial dilemma.
The Mayor hopes to have a
majority of the delegation lined
up before October /.
An aide to the Governor said
today that it was unlikely the
Governor would require the city
to have agreement from leeis-
lators from surrounding coun-
ties whose residents would be
affected by the earnings tax.
Compromise Expected
But chances are that once
the legislature convenes, the
city would be forced to COM
promise and exempt either
those out-of-town residents
who pay a similar tax in their
home county or all non-resi-
dents regardless of their en-
ployment in the city. The lat
ter would cost the city about Is
per cent Of the estimated re-
turn on the earnings tax.
Gov. Tawes. in rejecting the
Mayor and city councils bid
for the broad new taxing
powers. said the plan would
require the State to tear down
and rebuild its own tax struc-
ture."
He said such a legislative
proposal would cause a wrangle

SEC Issues
Warning on
Speculation
BY the Associated Press

The Government has warned
investors that many stocks APP
parently are being manipulated
on the securities markets.
1t advised amateurs not to
speculate on tips and rumors.
In an unusual formal state
ment. the Securities and Ex-
change Commission said it is
investigating a substantial
number of suspected manipu-
lations and expects criminal
prosecution of some cases.
The notice followed two
warnings in the last week by
the New York Stock Exchange
against speculative stock pur-
chases based on "greed and
gullibility." The American
Stock Exchange also has
alerted investors.
SEC officials said the COM
mission is disturbed over IRA
tional fluctuations in the prices
of certain issues and suspects
the steep rises and declines
have resulted from tips floated
by insiders" and others intent
on enriching themselves.
The SEC did not identify any
of the suspect issues, but the
statement indicated that GER
tain stocks have been under
close watch.
The SEC said speculation
may sometimes serve a useful
purpose" but it is a field for
experts, and the amateur who
plays the market is asking for
| trouble"
