WANT TO SPEED
TAX REFUND?

ANNAPOLIS (AP).-If

Mr.. Goldstein said the bulk
Of Maryland returns were
filed around the April Is due
date. He said it will take
considerable time to process
the returns and make the
thousands Of refunds.
During this processing, the
status of any particular re-
turn cannot be determined,
and letters inquiring about
refunds only bog down the
work, he said.
The first-quarter withhold
ing return for 1959-cover-
ing January, February and
March--is due by April 30.
Of the estimated total of
500 million due this year,
about $50 million is expected
from individual returns and
about SIG million from cor
porationS.
Some SIT million of the in
dividual receipts is earmarked
for local subdivisions, and
about SIG million of the cor
poration payments goes to
the Maryland Port Authority
under the law.

Students | Hear Kennedy
Attack Loyalty Oath

Senator Kennedy. Democrat
OF Massachusetts,, today urged
repeal Of the loyalty oath pro-
vision in the National Defense
Education Act in an address at
the University Of Maryland.
He termed the requirement
"distasteful, humilating and
unavoidable" and at variance
with the purpose Of the act.
The measure provides Federal
loans to students.
Senator Kennedy voiced his
criticism before about 5000
students and faculty at the
annual spring convocation at
the university.
In a program designed to en-
courage education, there is no
place for the requirement Of
loyalty oaths and afiidavits
against the overthrow of the
Government by illegal means,
Senator Kennedy said.
The Senator has introduced
a bill repeating the provision,
and hearings are scheduled
Wednesday.
Il think it's essential that
Congress repeal this" the Sem
ator said.
Enthusiastic applause fol-
lowed his remark that the more
freedom there is in education,
the more secure is the United
States.
Senator Kennedy also urged
students to put their tearing to
work in politics.

the fruits Of your learning" he
said.

LOCAL BUDGETS
Instead Of adopting a budget
which amounts to an appro-
.priation for the following fiscal
year, as most localities do the
new laws require that such
budgets will henceforth be "for
information only"
The governing body must. by
separate appropriation. make
funds available for specific pur-
poses. This can be done on an
annual. semi-annual, quarterly
or monthly basis.
The time in which the tax
rate must be set was extended
from May 81 to June 80 to give
localities more time to evaluate
what the school situation will
be the following September.
Hence, localities threatened
by indignation can depart from
their budgets and shut of
funds for the operation Of
schools and turn to scholar
ships for private schooling.
OTHER NEW LAWS
Another new law drafted by
the governors Perrow Commits
sion provides for a referendum
to force reluctant school boards
to sell surplus" public schools.
If the school board refuses
to sell the school to a private
purchaser, 10 per cent of the
voters could petition for a ref
erendum on whether it is con-
sidered surplus to the county'S
needs.
If a majority votes in favor
of the sale. the school board
shall" commence negotiations
to dispose of the property. sub
iect to conditions approved by
the Circuit judge.
Another new law was OPP
posed by Arlington County Of
f1cials. 1t allows a maximum
of two years exemption from
local coming restrictions for the
operators of private schools in
existing buildings. The State
Board OF Education and State
Fire Marshal can give the au-
thorization.
A local option law permits
localities to pay for the trans
portation of children to private,
non-sectarian schools.
Another law allows teachers
who now repay state scholar
ships by inStructing IN public
schools to Settle the debt by
teaching in private schools.
The Legislature repealed the
old massive resistance laws
which required the closing of
any integrated school and the
withholding of all state school
funds from localities that per-
mitted indignation.
Those laws already had been
killed in court, and integration
got off to a peaceful start in
scattered parts of the State last
February.

BY ALEX r. PRESTON

RICHMOND. April 27.-After
nearly five years Of massive re-
distance. virginia today stood
ready to try out some new
school indignation laws which
we're before Gov. Almond for
signature.
Major bills carrying out
the Perrow Commissions racial
Commitment" policy we're ex-
pected to be signed by the
Governor this week.
There are still some traces
of the old resistance spirit left
in the new program, but gone
is the demand that there be no
indignation at the cost OF for
saking all public education.
The old resistance laws shut
down nine public schools for
half year before State and
federal courts killed them.
In their place, the General
Assembly under the leadership
Of Gov. Almond has come up
with what it calls a freedom
Of choice" program which offers
Individual students a choice
between public and private
education-financed by tuition
grantS-and allows localities to
decide for themselves whether
to continue support Of public
schools.
When the Assembly con-
eluded its special session Fri
day, one lawmaker summed up:
Were coming down the
mountain Of massive resistance
but we have not yet reached
the plain of local assignment.
There was speculation that
while the new program appears
to be on firmer legal ground
than the old one. the legal
battle is not over. Some of the
difficulties foreseen are:
/. Parents Of children in
church-connected schools will
want to be included.
2. The NAACP will look upon
the new plan as devious
scheme" to get around the SUI
creme Courts 1854 decision.
3. Negroes can be expected
to apply to enter white Segre-
gated private schools since tax
supported tuition grants will be
paid to private schools.
But for the time being, here
Is how Virginia'S second look
at Indignation is supposed to
work:
STUDENT ASSIGNMENTS
Beginning next March /
those localities that choose tC
do so may handle all their own
student assignments. A vote Of
the local governing body, or
recommendation of the school
board. is required to place a To-
cality under the local assign
ment program.
The State Pupil Placement
Board set up in 1856 will con-

do not exercise the local option,
It was part Of Virginia's origi-
nal anti-integration program.
Until the local option law
takes effect, the State Pupil
Placement Board is supposed to
continue operating in all parts
of the State, except where Fed
eral court orders take prece-
dence.
II a county or city decides
to come under the local assign
ment law after March /, 1860,
this is what would happen:
Any child who is entering
School for the first time and
any child seeking transfer from
one school to another would
have to apply to the local
school board by April for the
school year commencing the
following September.
The school board would have
to make the assignment by
April Is or 10 days after the
application deadline.
Any parent not satisfied with
the assignment could petition
the school board to review the
case providing the request Is
filed on or before April IS.
The school board would have
20 days from the receipt OF
the petition to review the as
signment. But in no case could
its final order be issued after
May 20.
At this point, either the par
ent Of the child involved OF
the parents of five other child
rem in the affected school. may
appeal the school boards final
decision to the State Board Of
Education.

STATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships for private nom
sectarian education of all chill
dren desiring them would be
financed between the locality
and the State in the same pro-
portion each contributes to the
average cost of educating chill
dren in public schools.
In all of the areas close to
Washington, D. c., the maxi
mum scholarship of $3.50 a
year-and more if supplement-
ed entirely out of local funds
would be available.
In those areas where the
present average cost of public
education is less than $3.50,
the amount of the State and
local scholarship would be lin
tied to that figure.
COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
The compulsory attendance
law-repealed in January-waS
re-enacted with practically all
of the "complusion" removed
from it.
AS passed, the law applies
nowhere until the locality
chooses to come under it. Fur

ously objects for any reason to

In all, Congress cut about
$500 million from the $50 bill

year for foreign aid.
Foreign Aid Backers Win
The Presidents decision to go
for an even higher amount next

in the administration for foreign
aid hackers over Treasury and
Budget Bureau officials who
have been fighting to hold down
various kinds of governmental
costs to improve chances of a
balanced budget. But Congress
has been cutting sharply into
the amounts asked for foreign
aid.
Although far more than Con-
gress voted this year, the pro-
Jected programs cost is still
less than the actual amount
given and lent in the year which
ended last June 30.

crates $25.93 in taxes, Maurice

said one-third of the productive
plant in the United States is
obsolete. Under existing tax
policies, he said, industries are
being progressively penalized
and starved"
He said more generous de-
probation allowances would not
require raising tax rates "be-
cause the additional income
created by renewal and
modernization will offset
the a d ditiona al depreciation
allowances in the first years
and will increase revenues

and provides investors with in

merit.
so long as the truth is told

he said. Even If the proper
facts about the securities are
given, SEC can't insure that
the investor won't suffer a A.
nancial loss"
When Congress passed the
law setting up the SEC, Mr..
Kroll added, it didn't intend .
to stop the inalienable right of
the investor to make a fool of
himself. Congress only sought
to make certain others didn't
