ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 15.-Peace
began to settle over one phase
of savings and loan legislation
today as the smoke of battle
started to rise over another bill
in the same field.
Feuding legislators reached
agreement yesterday on a
compromise designed to end the
bitter fight which has ragged
over a bill to curb the activities
of a savings and loan inSur-
ance company run by several
legislators.
But it appeared the battle
had just begun on another bill
which would give Maryland its
first regulation of savings and.
loan associations.
The compromise was reached
on a bill introduced by Delegate
Joseph D. TydingS, Democrat
of Hartford, which would curb
the operations of Security
Financial Insurance Corp. run
by several Baltimore County
Democratic leaders, including
Delegate A. Gordon Boone,
majority floor leader of the
House Of Delegates.
The Tydings bill. which the
author said was designed to
protect the public from over
ambitious deposit insurance
companies in the savings and
loan field. would prohibit Sc
curity Financial from writing
insurance on any single aSSo-
citation in excess of 10 per cent
Of Security Financial's assets.
Two Years to Comply
Mr.. Boone and the other
legislators involved in opera
tions of the 16-month-old firm
led the fight against the Ty-
dings bill. The controversy has
been one of the most divisive
issues to hit the General AS
sembly in a long time.
Yesterday. both sides agreed
to a compromise. The agree
ment provides that Security FL
nancial will have two years to
bring its existing insurance in
line with the 10 per cent limi-
tation on the TydingS bill. The
company agreed not to write
any new insurance before the

Assembly Travels West
To Re-enoct 81 Session
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

FREDERICK, Md, Feb. Is
Edna Cook was in a quandary
today.
She was all set to take part
in the Maryland General AS
Sembly re-enactment of an
1861 session. The only trouble
was that there were no women
in the General Assembly in
1861.
Mrs. Cook, a Democratic
Delegate from Montgomery,
wondered if she should get out
an old suit with slapping tails
which belonged to her father,
and try to disguise her femi-
ninity. The suit has been
resting in Mrs. Cooks attic for
many years.
But chances are Mrs. Cook
and her feminine colleague
from Montgomery. Mrs. Mar
garet Schweinhaut, and four
other distaff members of the
Legislature would have diff
Guilty Disgusting themselves
from their male compatriotS.
When Troops Watched
Very likely it's all Illegal
anyhow, and few deviations
from authenticity won't matter
much today.
The Maryland Legislature
moved from the Chesapeake
Bay to the shadow of Sugar
Loaf Mountain to commemo-
rate the days of long ago when
the threat of secession was in
the air and Federal troops were
keeping a watch on things at
Annapolis.
There was evident necessity"
for the switch to Frederick
100 years ago. But today, as
Secretary of State Lloyd L.
Simpkins pointed out, no such
condition exists and the legal
ity Of today's session is in con-
siderable doubt.

Perry o. Wilkinson, Democrat
Of Prince Georges, bundled up
his charges this morning on

munity. Senate President
George w. Della, Democrat of
Baltimore City. did likewise.
They were hoping that the
re-enactment would not be
carried too far. The session of
1861 ended with the arrest of
several legislators by Federal
troops who wanted to make
sure there was no bill Of seces-
sion passed. Though the only

Tax-Shift Plan
Tabled After
Council Clash
By WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star staff Writer


The Montgomery County
council clashed angrily yeSter-
day over a proposal to shift
part of the burden of taxes
from property Improvements to
undeveloped lands.
After an hour of heated de-
bate, the group split 4 to 3 to
table the matter.
The vote apparently spelled
an end to the proposal, which
was laid before the group by
member Stanley FroSh.
Il am not welded to the
idea that the emphasis of tax
alton should be shifted from
improvements to property" he
said, but it is worthy of study
We should look into new
sources of revenue"
He told the group that some
communities, such as Pitts
burgh, have found such a
scheme very successful. 1t pro-
vides relief. he said, for al
ready overburdened hometown
erS," and forces spectators to
develop their idle lands.
He suggested that the matter
should be referred to the coun-
tvs financial advisory COM
mittee for study.
Il think it's a waste Of time" "
retorted Joe Kyle. Il wouldn't I
be in favor of it at ALL"
That's for areas of obsoles-
cence." David Cahoon argued
That not our problem here.
This is a program that
would encourage more inten-
sive use Of lands near the Dis
trict line. I doubt that in the
SOS we want to pile thousands
more into that area and COM
pound our transportation prob
lens even further" Mr.. Cahoon
said.
, Mr.. Cahoon added he be-
lieved such shift would throw
"85 per cent Of the county's
planning out of gear"
Member Grover K. Walker
agreed.
The day you start that" he
said. "iS the day you'll drive
the farmers out Of business and
put their lands in the hands OF
spectators"
But Mr.. Frosh replied that
Dave (Cahoon saysstheres no
problem Of obsolescence. think
he's wrong We should pay
some attention now to the
parts Of Silver Spring suffer
ing from obsolescence because
we'll sooner or later face q
crisis il We don't"
Mr.. Cahoon replied heatedly:
For councilman to sit here
and say we have ignored the
problems Of Silver Spring anc
Bethesda is inconceivable to
me. We have initiated programs
OF tremendous Importance to
these areas. Furthermore you're
talking about a tax situation
covering 500 square miles to
take care Of a problem at the
District line
The discussion ended abrupt
ly when Mr.. Kyle moved to
table the matter. He was Joined
by Mr.. Cahoon, Mr.. Walker and
Jerry T. Williams.

more City delegation. Mr.. Man.
del especially does not like the
prohibition against stock COM
panies and second mortgages.
Opponents of both the Tyd-
ings bill aimed at Security FL
nancial and the Case regulatory
bill claim the legislation really
is an attempt by the big fed
orally insured savings and loan
associations to knock out the
smaller ate-chartered and
multi-Stock associations. Most
of the associations insured by
Security Financial are of the
multi-stock type.
Edward S. Northrop of Mont
gomery, Democratic floor leader
of the Senate, also promised
fast action on the Cass bill. The
legislation is strongly backed
by Gov. Tawes.
JObleSs Bill Loses
In another development, the
Senate refused yesterday to
broaden unemployment COM
pensation laws along the gen.
eral lines recommended on a
nationwide basis by President
Kennedy.
BY a 1912 vote it rejected
proposals to increase weekly
benefits from $35 to $45, ex-
tend the maximum benefit-col-
lection period from Is to 80
weeks, and increase the en-
ployers' tax which supports the
benefit fund.
The vote turning down these
amendments set up for final
passage a bill to grant a SO in
crease in the top weekly benefit
and tighten the eligibility re-
quirementS for possible recip-
lentS.

TOURIST BUSINESS
CONTINUES ON TOP
IN DARE COUNTY
Ferry Traffic at Capacity; Many
Notable Guests Visiting
on Beach

Following a fourth of July "busi-
ness boom" the Dare beach area
continues to team with, fishermen,
campers, sun worshippers, and
tourist this week with no apparent
indication of an latter holiday"
business slump.
One motel operator on the beach
commented Tuesday, Business is
perfect. Things couldn't be better
for me. We've been full for two
weeks and we are still full. l have
to turn a lot of people away each
day." Another beach business man
said, "The restaurant has been full
for every meal. We can hardly feed
them all at suppertime, but 1
couldn't be happier"
The state operated free ferrys
across Oregon Inlet are continuing
to operate at full capacity and re-
ports from the Mission &c camping
grounds indicate that the campers
are still overlooking the facilities.
Up and down the beach color
full array of license plates tells a
tale of visitors from many places.
Vermont, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
Ontario, Canada, South Carolina,
and, yes, even Virginia Beach tags
have shown up along with many
others on the beach.
From Washington, D. C. this
week came a party of dignitaries
hunting retreat from the nation;
capitol. Included in the party at the
Carolinian were such notables as
Congressman Herbert Bonner, Con-
gresham Benjaman O'Neal, Con-
gresham Thor Tollefson, Congress-
man William Maitland. In the same
party were Mr.. T. P. Bartle, Vice
President of Lykes Brothers Steam
Ship Company, Vice Admiral Roy
Gano, and Vice Admiral Jason
Hirshfield.
Among tobacconists taking a
pause at the beach before North
Cardinals golden crop is harvested
in furry of activity this fall was
Mr.. w. l. Bissette from the tobacco
belt in eastern North Carolina.
The state Highway Patrol has
added two extra men to its Dare
County force for the summer to
help handle the heavy traffic, the
Mays Head Post Office and many
of the Dare beach businesses have
extra time workers to help meet
the demands of the heavy trade.
