In LICENSING

OCEAN CITY, Md. Aug. 90
Senator Louis N. Phipps, Demo-
crat of Anne Arundel, denied
today that he sought to have
an electricians license re-
inStated after it had been suS-
pended by the Board of Electri-
cal Examiners.
William C. Sipe, chairman of
the board, resigned yesterday,
claiming political interference"
by Senator Phipps led to his
decision to quit.
Reached here today, Senator
Phipps said my only inter-
ference was at the request of
Mr.. Sipe."
The Democratic Senator said
the board chairman came to
him a month ago and asked
help in removing the other two
members of the board, Frank
Tamanio and Rush L. Lacy.
Senator Phipps said he passed
Mr.. Sipe'S request on to Gov.
TaweS' office but did not add
his Endorsement because the
charges against Mr.. Tamanio
and Mr.. Lacy were not specific.
Mr.. Sipe, who described him
self as a former political ally
Of Senator Phipps, said the
senator had telephoned him
and asked that the license of
Ben Wexler of Baltimore be
reinstated. Senator Phipps de-

Maryland College Costs
Too High, PuIIen Says

Maryland another potentially
qualified college candidate is
not in school because of fl
nanceS.
We've got to make educa-
ton cheaper, not higher" he
said, mentioning dormitory,
student union and other sim
liar fees which students must
pay.
He urged specifically the
construction of additional COM
munity or junior colleges.
He said that community COL
leges bring higher education
closer to a student and have a
much lower operating cost.
He said the community COL
legeS make it cheaper for the
students because they can live
at home and are not required
| to commute long distances. The
operating costs, he added, are
lower because all students re-
ceive the same general educa-
ton courses which comprise
about half of the two-year COM
munity college programs, and
the community colleges do not
require highly specialized and
expensive equipment.
He added that they also pro-
vide a training place for semi
professional and technical per-
sonnet and serve to screen out
those who do not want or are
not qualified for a four-year
college educationS.
There are IL community col
legeS in the State, one each in
M ontg merry and Prince
Georges counties.

u. S. Declared
Wrong to Block
Marshal on Ship

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 26
(AP).-United States District
Court Judge Walter E. Hoff-
man ruled today that the Coast
Guard was exceeding its au-
thority when it prevented a
deputy United States marshal
from attaching the Cuban
freighter Bahia de Nipe.
Judge Hoffman said that as
far as selling the vessel was
concerned the Coast Guard
had acted within it's rights. But
as for preventing a marshal
from serving a proper process,
he ruled that 1T was not with
in the intent of Congress" to
grant them such authority
when it enacted 1871"
This section of Federal law
authorized the Coast Guard to
prevent persons from boarding
a vessel under partial or full
seizure when such an act
threatens the safety of the
ship, the waterfront or the
waters of the United States.
The 3,8Oo-ton vessel, en-
route to the Baltic Sea with
5000 tons of sugar, was brought
into Lynnhaven Roads anchor
age August II by her skipper
and 10 crewmen seeking po-
litical asylum. The II locked

BERRYVILLE, Va. Aug. 26.
Senator Byrd today charged
the Federal Government with
discrimination against Vir-
ginia in the enforcement of the
Supreme Courts desegregation
decree.
Speaking to about 1000 fell
low apple growers, their fami-
lies and top political figures at
his annual orchard picnic here,
the head Of the State Demo-
cratic organization asserted
Virginia is the target of forced
school indignation" by the COM
!bined efforts Of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People and the
Federal Government.
1T is hard for Virginians to
understand why the Warren
court and the rest of the Fed
eral force is directed mainly at
The intergation of Virginia
schools" said Senator Byrd.
Prince Edward Cited
He said that Prince Edward
County, Va, was the object
CT a forced indignation on
slaught," although it was only
one of the four Jurisdictions
figuring in the original 1854
decision of the Supreme Court.
There is no action yet" he
said, Ito force indignation on
schools in Clarendon County,
5. c." also one Of the princi-
pals in the original suit.
II think VirginianS would
like to know" he added, why
a. was we were singled out
and the other States have
not been disturbed. Although
sorely provoked by the lille
gality of the Warren court
decree and discrimination in
Federal enforcement, the people
of Virginia have exercised
commendable restraint"

In addition to a score of

Senator Robert Y. Button Of
Culpeper, for attorney general.
Letter Yarn Gets Chuckles
Senator Byrd referred to an
incident in the recent Demo-
cratic primary in which the
defeated candidate for Cover
nor, Lieut.. Gov. A. E. S. Ste
phenS, said he had not asked
for Senator Byrd's support.
The Senator's office released
a Stephens letter soliciting
such support.
IF you had set a firecracker
off under the distinguished
candidate for governor" Sen
ator Byrd chuckled to his audi
ence, "he couldn't have been
more excited"
"A great man once said, I
wish my enemy would write a
book My slogan is, I wish
my enemy would write a let
ter"
Senator Byrd, speaking from
the rear Of an open-bed truck,
decorated with the brightly la
beled cans Of his apple prod
uctS, took obvious JOY out of
the recent primary results.
Leading newspapers and
magazines sent representatives
into the State" he said; "nu-
merouS articles were published;
some predicted defeat of the
organization candidates. e..
I think it was the belief that
the election result would de-
termine whether Virginia would
continue to adhere to conServa-
tive principles"

State Fiscal Research Bureau
said that the Maryland people
made mistake of repudiating
one of the best governors Mary
land ever had" in 1850 when the
campaign against Democratic
Gov. William Preston Lane was
based largely on Mr.. Lanes
sales tax program begun during
his term.
Sees New Tax Boost
Gov. McKeldin went into Of
flee in 1850 after a pennies
for Lane" campaign.
The fiscal bureau director
not only defended the James
program supported by Gov
Tawes, but said that further
tax increases are inevitable. He
indicated that a tax increase
might be necessary in 1868 be-
cause State revenues are not
keeping up with the cost OF
providing services.
Another county commits
sioners convention speaker, DR.
Thomas G. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent of schools, crit
icized the James program with
out mentioning it directly.
The James program provided
money for education purposes
and left it up to the localities
to decide how they would use
it.
He said that the James plan,
in effect, "is taking the pres
sure off the Legislature and
passing it to local governing
officials.
Gov. Tawes made a bid fol
the women's vote today in 6
speech before the Democratic
women'S clubs representatives
He noted that he has appointed
lover 100 women" to posts since
he became governor.

the program, the Legislature at
the request Of the governor, ex-
tended the sales tax to restau-
rant meals, dropped the start
ing point of the sales tax from
items costing 81 cents to IS
cents, and doubled the tax on
cigarettes.
The governor, who probably
will be a candidate for re-elec-
ton next year, opened a strong
counter offensive today against
political critics who promised
to make the tax increase one of
the major campaign issues.
Praised by Experts
George Mahoney and David
Hume, candidates for the Dem
ocratic nomination for COVER
nor, and former Gov. Theodore
R. McKeldin, expected to be the
Republican nominee .-have indi-
Gated they will make much Of

Both Mr.. Lee and State Sem
ator Barrick of Frederick
County had been expected to
align themselves with Mr.. Ma

The governors fiscal pro-
gram received a strong support
at the County Commissioners
meeting from one of the States
