Editor Williams probably is
right about that. Otherwise,
intelligent taxpayers seem cas-
lily to accept the idea that the
weekly income tax bite on
their pay checks is paid by the
company. Hence the phrase
take-home pay, which actually
means what is left but which
the taxpayer comes to regard
as his salary-the tax deduc-
ton, itself, being something
exclusively between his en-
ployer and the U. S. Treasury.

Butler Bures
Hearings on
Ground Rents
BY the Associated Press

Senator John Marshall But
Ter, Republican of Maryland,
yesterday announced that the
Internal Revenue Service will
hold a public hearing here
october 81 on Maryland ground
rents.
Every Marylander affected
by the recent discriminatory
decision by the Internal Reeve
nue. Commissioner should at
tend this heariug and protest
his decision" Senator Butler
said in a statement.
Last month the commissioner
announced his intention to pro-
hibit future deductions for Fed
eral income tax purposes of
amounts paid by Maryland
homeowners as ground rent.
THE commissioners action
was clearly discriminatory be-
cause the proposed denial of
deductions applies only to
Maryland, although there are
six or eight other states which
have a system of ground rents
similar to Maryland" Senator
Butler added.
THE Internal Revenue Ser
vice has yet to offer satisfac-
tory explanation as to why
Maryland, out of all the States
with ground rents, should be
singled out for this unnecessary
and discriminatory action"

Urged as Shrine

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 7 (AP).-
The Fifth Annual Conference
of Historical Societies in Mary
land adopted a resolution today
urging that the State acquire
Blakiston Island in the Po-
tomac River off st. Marys
County.
The resolution said the island
should be improved by the

settlers who landed there.
The Maryland Board of Pub
lie Works has already voted to
accept the island If legislation
pending in Congress is passed.
Blakiston, which formerly
was called st. Clements Island,
was used by the Navy in recent
years. Representative Lank-
ford, Democrat of Maryland,
has proposed that the Federal
Government give the property
to the State.
The historical conference was
held here today in observance
of Annapolis Heritage Month.
Kent R. Mullikin, chairman
Of the new Maryland Historical
Trust, explained the workings
of the organization to confer
ence participants. Others
speaking to delegates included
former Senator George L. Rad
cliffe. president of the Mary
land Historical Society; Robert
j. Kerr. II, executive director
of Historic Annapolis, Inc, and
William T. Stone, president of
Historic Annapolis.

With congressional approval

With congressional approval
of President Kennedy's program
to finance the interstate high
way system, the financing of
the Inner Loop got a boost
since most of it is to be paid
for with Federal aid funds.
Nearly $50 million has al
ready been approved for OBJ
legation during the current fis-
cal year for interstate roads in
the District. In the next fiscal
year, the figure expected to get
approval is SCI million.
At this point, Gen. Clarke
points out, District highway
builders see funds coming in
without approved roadway
projects to spend the funds on.
Among the projects that need
a definite go signal are the
east leg of the loop, a large
interchange near the Eleventh
Street Bridge and the remain
der Of the south leg across
Southeast Washington.
Hearing on Tuesday
These are the loop projects
on which the NCPC decided to
delay decision. However, a pub
lie hearing will be held Tues
day on the budget for fiscal
1868 which win cover the pro-
posed loop construction.
Gen. Clarke also said he be-
lieves the District Commission
ers will move ahead with a
decision pinning down the
route Of the east leg, recon-
mended to run between Tenth
and Eleventh streets from the
Eleventh Street Bridge to Flor
ida avenue. Their decision is
due within the next two weeks.
Gen. Clarke said approval
by the NCPC of the Inner
Loop plan in November will be
soon enough to get the budget
items to Capitol Hill without
causing any bodybuilding de-
lay.
He also noted that NCPC
approval of the expressway
plan is not essential before
going ahead with the program.
But we would like to see
everyone in agreement before
we go to Congress to ask for
money" he added.
Gen. Clarke said he was sur
prised at the NCPC decision.
He pointed out that NCPC's
1859 Mass Transportation Sur
vey recommended the Inner
Loop system.
Portion of the Inner Loop
that has been built so far is
the Southwest Freeway that
now ends at South Capitol
street. 1t is still not ready for
! traffic but is expected to be
opened by 1862,

The three Republican legis-

challenged their Democratic
opponents yesterday to a series
Of public debates and offered to
pay all costs.
Two Of the Democrats, Will

Stone, Immediately scoffed at
the challenge and derided it as
a publicity stunt resulting from

Republicans Donald Whyte,
John Epaminonda and Alvin
Smell declared that the public
wants to hear discussion of is
sues on which the positions of
the incumbent legislators are
"unclear or unknown"
They submitted several ques-
tons concerning the Democrats
positions on Mills Goodwin for
Lieutenant Governor, proposals
for the repeal of the poll tax

law, redistricting of General AS

Board, William Wetmore, and
his political philosophy.
Another question embodied
the charge that the Arlington
delegation failed to support Re-
publican efforts to widen Shir-
ley highway.

pearing at series of Republi-

four meetings scheduled with
them, all sponsored by civic
groups. These meetings should
be ample" Mr.. Winston replied.

] Abandoning the long-studied
concept of an Inner Loop ex-
presSway at this stage of the
highway program 'is incon-
ceivable-like changing horses
in midstream," the Districts
Engineer Commissioner de-
clared yesterday.
Brig. Gen Frederick j. Clarke
said he will make a strong
demand that the National Cap
ital Planning Commission see
the expressway program
through.
If any delay in plans &C.
ours, he said, it will seriously
hamper the highway conStruc-
ton timetable during the COM
ing two years.
Il hope the planning COM
mission will give the necessary
approvals at its next meeting
in November" Gen. Clarke
said.
- System Called Wrong
The question of the need for
the Inner Loop was raised at
a meeting of the NCPC last
Thursday. The commission
voted 4 to 2 to withhold ap-
proval of four Inner Loop prof.
ects slated for inclusion in the
city's 1868 public works budget
If the planners decide now
after more than 10 years o.
planning the Inner Loop-that
the expressway system j:
wrong, Gen. Clarke said, we've
got to ask: where do we 81

AT last weeks meeting, Alex
