Maryland Legislature to Open
Debote on sc Cigarette Tax
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l6 (AP)

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l6 (AP).-
The first Of the many fiscal
questions to come to bat in the
Maryland Legislature this ses-
sion viii be the proposal for a
Statewide increase in the levy
on cigarettes.
Debate on the move to i'm
pose a uniform State tax of
s cents. with half of the money
going to the 23 counties, will
begin at II am. Wednesday.
The forum will be the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Although the bill came out
Of the influential James Com
mittee on Taxation and was
approved by the Legislative
Council, there will be opposi-
ton coming particularly from
the Southern Maryland tobacco
growing section.
Not for Specific Purpose
Legislators from other Sec
tons also have reservations
about broadening the tax on
cigarettes because il Is not for
any specific purpose.
The Legislature will be
asked later to revise the sales
tax so that more money may be
collected for education and
welfare.

Bowling Alley
Protest Set

A group of residents in the
Forestville. Md. area are con-
sidering a second court appeal
in their fight against a bowling
alley planned next to Epiphany
Episcopal Church.
Citizens already have ap-
pealed a decision by the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
granting heavy commercial
CO zoning to the tract of
more than three acres near
the intersection of Ritchie road
and Marlboro pike.
The Commissioners Friday
approved a special exception
permit for construction Of q
32-lane alley by Suitland Enter
prises. Inc. The firm also oper-
ates an alley In the Suitland
Shopping Center.
Samuel ]. DeBlasis. attorney
for the firm, said the building
would be soundproof. and
noted 1t could not have a liquor
license since it Is within 1000
feet of the church.
Protesting residents said the
alley would mar the sacred
nature Of the church and ad-
joining cemetery. and was not
needed in the neighborhood.
Their attorney, Marion E. West.
said he would talk with citizens
this week about a second ap-
peal.

and five-foot contour intervals.
Contracted to q commercial
firm, the job was started in De-
cember 1859, and completed
last April.
Planners then went into the
field to identify the structures
as barns. pens, houses and
other types Of buildings. The
team found a few buildings
which failed to show in aerial
pictures.
Records Are Researched
Because each structure has
to be classified. this work often
requires research in county
land records, tax and earlier
planning reports. These files
tell planners If the building
has historical value, its use,
the identity Of the owner and
intended plans for future use.
The team had this job nearly
finished in October. It reported
receiving good cooperation
from citizens they met along
the way.
Residents seeing us with
our notebooks would think we
were tax assessors and right
away they'd want to know just
what was going on" William
Busbey, another planner, said.

The IA maps show popula-

There now is a rather strong
movement within the Legisla v

which would call for even more
taxes.
Gov. Tawes told legislative
leaders before the assembly ad-

school construction.
The second program, how
ever, the one in support of
schools where parents work on
Federal land but live in local
communities, is temporary and
expires in June of this year.
The President has proposed
that last years payment in this
category be cut by almost two
thirds, to $93 million.
In a move which probably
will make local school authori-
ties even more nervous, the
President says the $93 million
should not be approved by
Congress now, but await con-
gressional action on anticipated
legislation leading to an over
all Federal aid to education
bill.
Action May Come Too Late
If an aid-to-education bill,
particularly as 1t applies to
school construction, is not
passed, the President says, then
the $93 million should be ap-
proved.

today that such approval may

lmpocted Area School Aid Cuts
Called for in Eisenhower Budqet

President Eisenhower's final
budget. which went to Congress
today. will draw special atten-
ton in the hundreds of school
districts across the Nation-in-
cluding those in nearby Mary
land and Virginia-which re-
ceive Federal funds as i'm
pacted school areas.
The budget not only calls for
a small cut in support funds
for schools attended by stu
dents whose parents both live
and work on Federal land, but
holds out the possibility Of less
funds or no funds at all for
the ones where the students
parents work on Federal land
but live in local communities.
Many Of the school districts
in nearby Maryland and Vir-
|ginia are in this latter group.
Those areas-in nearby Prince

ton and Fairfax Counties and

the Federal funds when ap-
proving their annual budgets in

Henson Valley Doto Pushed
By JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star Stan Writer

The proposed future of 80
square miles of rolling Prince
Georges County countryside
is slowly being pieced together
by four planners in a cubicle
in Riverdale.
The Henson Valley master
plan area in Oxon Hill has
been inspected by planners.
and the results of about Is
months work are expected to
be ready in the spring.
The largest plan ever under
taken by the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission, the area is seven
and a half square miles larger
than Arlington County. Also
in the works are master plans
for upper Rock Greek Park and
Northwest Branch.
The meticulous assembling
of map data in the commissions
Riverdale office includes pin
pointing each structure in the
area and every bend in the
roads.
Accuracy Is Stressed
Government officials, resi-
dents and developers, irked at
the seemingly snail-like pace
of planners. are told the de-
tailed work Of this and similar
plans require days Of on-sight
inspection, weeks Of research
and months Of "elbow ON the
drawing board" to put It all
together.
A dozen or more men work
ing on the job could turn out |
a plan faster. but commission
sp0kesmen said it would not be |
as true a representation Of
the area as is now being COM
piled by the four-man team
working in Henson Valley.
Our theory is that a small
team working the entire area
from start to finish will have q
better knowledge and UNDER
standing of the land than sew
eral teams submitting sectional
reports to someone trying to
tie them all together" explain
ed Logan Mckee, one Of the |
four planners.
