BALTIMORE. Sept. ga
Montgomery County legislator

today that the Maryland sub
urbs of Washington face flood

trict If the States relaxes its
tax stamp requirement.
The Legislative Council. at
the request of distillers and

mended passage of a bill which
would remove the requirement
that a tax stamps be afflxed to
each bottle sold in the State.
The proposal was opposed by
Edward s. Northrop, Democrat
ic majority floor leader in the
State Senate. and State Con-
.troller Louis L. Goldstein, whose
office Is charged with tax col
lection and enforcement.
Under present law, a State
tax stamp must be placed on

Mr.. Northrop said that with
out the stamp 1t would be diff
cult to control the importation
of liquor into the State. Mary
land law prohibits bringing
more than one quart into the
State without paying the State
tax.
"The problem Of enforcement
would be insurmountable in our
area, where there Is a large
importation from the District
Of Columbia" Mr.. Northrop
said.
Mr.. Goldstein also declared
that the change would increase
the flow of untaxed liquor into
Maryland.
A. Gordon Boone, Democratic
floor leader in the House of
Delegates, said he didn't see
any particular enforcement
problem. A Legislative Council

in Federal expenditures.
Most taxpayers, I believe.
are becoming more and more
aware of the results Of laws
that, though sometimes carry
ing a surface appeal. far too
often add unjustifiably to the

Finally, I repeat my hope

our countrymen. Let us re-

liberationS proceed, that both

looking on.
With sound progress as our
object, we can accomplish
much despite the shortness Of
time left in this session. Work
ing together responsibly, we
shall surely make America a
stronger and better Nation;
and, so working, we shall
brighten the cause of freedom
and peace everywhere on earth.

eral spending. Our Federal
accounts should balance with
enough left over for a reason
able payment on the public
debt, on which We are already
paying for interest alone more
than $19 billion per year. Pro-
posalS now before congressional
committees would, if approved,
raise our annual spending by
tens Of billions of dollars in
1861 and would disrupt Federal
budgets over the next five years
by many scores Of millions.
For Americas sake, we must
resist the temptation, this year
or any year, to overspend the
taxpayers hard-earned dollars
and over-centralize RESPONSE
bilities in the Federal Govern
ment. If we fail in this, we
will weaken our hope Of ever
controlling Federal extrava-
gance and will indefinitely post
pone debt retirement and tax
relief. At the same time we
will debase our currency, in
vite the resurgence of inf1a-
tionary forces, undermine local
and State responsibility, and
thus erode away Americas
strength at home and in the
world. We should avoid pre-
emption of State and local
functions and take genuine ma

to raise postal rates and thus
end the heavy drain on gen.
eral revenues for postal serv-
ices which Congress has said
by law should be self-sustain-
ling. Our other revenue pro-
poals-notably, extension of
certain excise taxes and an
added tax on aviation fuel
also need to be approved.
Additionally, as I recently
emphasized by special message
to the Congress, we have COM
pelling reasons to liberalize our
immigration law during the
course Of this session. I remind
the Congress, also, that this
is World Refugee Year. Our
country was one of those spon-
soring this move in the United
Nations. In harmony with the
spirit of this resolution, and in
keeping with Americas tradi-
ton of leadership in humani-
tartan causes, we should press
forward, in this session, with
the refugee legislation 1 have
recommended to the Congress.
I add two proposals Of special
Importance to future PreSi-
dents of the United States.
First is provision Of preSiden-
tial Office space. The Congress
has met its own space require
mentS and those of the Su-
preme Court. Requirements
for modern Office facilities for
the President, his staff and the
news media assigned to the
White House are no less neces-
Sary and urgent. Second, the
need to carry forward presiden-
tial powers to reorganiZe the
executive branch is acute, in
the interest of efficiency and
economy in this huge Govern
ment. Both of these authori-
cations are clearly essential. !
again urge their approval be-
fore this session adjourns.
refer now to a number of
programs Of intense interest to
millions Of our peopls-pro-
grams intended to initiate or
enlarge benefits for various
groups or sections of the Nation.
Such projects require objective
analysis and nicely of deci-
sion so that on the one hand
there will be no neglect of es-
sential Federal responsibility
and on the other hand no sur
render to the election-year
temptation to overspend and
over-reach. Responsibility re-
specting these will do credit to
both parties but, more i'm
portant. will benefit our people.
A comparison of 1852 and
1861 Federal expenditures shows
the pace of the Federal ad-
vance in matters OF this kind.
Likewise it diScloSes the press
ing need for prudence both as
regards the level of these ex-
penditures and the extent of
Federal involvement in the
problems of individual citizens.
For labor. welfare and veterans
programs, including payments
from trust funds, cash pay
ments from trust funds, cash
payments to individuals were
SILL billion in 1882. The COM
parable figure in the 1861
budget is 1854 billion. Thus
there has been a 125 per cent
increase in these programs dur
ing a period in which the popu-
lation increased by is per cent.
This growth in payments far
exceeds an increases required
to match the IL per cent rise
in living costs during this
period.
Among such matters still

expire. At stake are an assured
and stable supply for our peo-
pie at reasonable prices and
removal of the uncertainties
now facing this industry. A
four-year extension of the pres
ent program, modified to give
the President authority to ad-
Just quotas in order to assure
America of an adequate sugar
supply, is needed to give farm
ers and professors the time to
plan. Appropriate recommen-
dations are before the Congress.
The interests of America re-
quire that legislation be enacted
before the Congress adjounS.
More Judges Needed
I have repeatedly stated the
need for legislation in other
important areas. Some of these
measures are of a kind that, at
the expense of responsible gov
ernment, tend to be Shunted
aside in an election year.
First is the urgent need of
Federal courts for enough judges
to hear the greatly increased
number of cases being filed
each year. Regardless of expe-
diency, justice calls for prompt
action.
The Judicial Conference of
the United States has recon-
mended the creation of approx
imately 40 new judgeships. This
recommendation is supported
by the administration and by
virtually every important pro-
fessional organization concerned
with the administration of the
courts.
We who advocate equal JUS
tice under law have a duty to
make it effective. In certain
districts injured people must
wait over four years for justice
or compromise their rights; in
nocent people who are de-
frauded are made a laughing
stock because the delay in the
courts deprives them of an
effective remedy; justice is
denied the weak because they
cannot finance the delay nee
essary to be heard. Further
neglect of this need is heart
less. For all our people, 1 most
earnestly urge swift action on
the pending measure to increase
the number of judgeships.
Next I refer to my request
of last June to remove the
statutory prohibition against
the Treasury's paying more
than "A per cent interest on
Treasury bonds which are due
more than five years after is
suance.
The American people have a
great deal at stake in this leg
islation, for failure to remove
this interest rate restriction can
have many serious consequences,
including the forcing of a new
upturn in living costs. The
Treasury, under this restriction,
continually faces the prospect
Of having to manage the Gov
ernment's $3.50 billion debt in
ways that would unavoidably
increase the upward pressures
on prices and on the interest
rate for the consumer credit so
important to millions of our
citizens.
Again, I stress the need for
prompt removal of this harm
full restriction.
We also owe it to America to
provide adequate new revenues
for the highway trust fund
Gas my proposal for a gasoline
tax increase would doJ, so that
we may keep our very i'm
portant highway program on
schedule; and fiscal RESPONSE
bility dictates that we not fail
Evening star., 1960-05-03
Minimum Wage

The Secretary of Labor re-
Gently presented the Congress
with information indicating
that the minimum wage could
be increased moderately with
out disruptive effects upon the
economy. On the other hand
we should, as responsible off,
cials, stand firmly against an
excessive increase which could
cause unemployment and severe
repercusSions in many indus
tries and areas of our country,
1t is of great Importance to
the well-being of the American
people that We govern our ac-
tions in this area by economic
facts rather than by political
or social prejudice.
Nor, 1 believe should we
close this session without enact
ing various long-pending meas
ureS, mostly in the field of
conservation - each of them
important to all our people
but particularly to our citizens
out West.
Among these measures I
refer as examples to preserva-
ton of our priceless seashore
areas, establishment of the
Arctic Wildlife Range. permis-
sion to Western communities
to expand into public land
areas, research assistance to
the coal industry, and the Fry
ingpan-Arkansas and San Luis
projects. Approval of these
and similar pending bills will
help to round out the program
OF natural resources develop
ment-now at a record level
which l presented last January
IN my budget message. We also
need a solution Of the Indian
heirship problem and to give
the people Of Guam and the
Virgin Islands a voice in the
Congress.
As a general but most i'm
portant consideration, I point
again to the need of restraint
in new authorizations f1r Fed
