The Arizona Republican spoke

Senator Goldwater told the

many Southern Democrats are
up for reelection. We
must work, and work hard, to
pick up strength in Congress. "

On Surplus

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10 (AP).
DIR. Clarence D. Long today
defended Gov. Tawes against
charges that the States 3 per
cent sales tax was broadened
this year to avoid a tax in
crease in 1962-an election
year.
DR.. Long, executive co-chair-
man of the Maryland Demo-
cratic Party, cited a statement
made Monday by Baltimore at
torney Hyman A. PresSman.
These people have been
prattling that they predicted
the State would close out the
1851 fiscal year with a surplus
lin revenue when the Board of
Revenue Estimates has
been aware of this fact for al
most a year" DR.. Long re-
Itorted.
Mr.. PreSSman said he had
predicted the $16.5 million sur
plus-announced last Saturday
by the State controllers office
two months ago.
He charged the incumbent
Democratic administration en-
gineered the surplus and ex-
panded the sales tax for a
purely selfish, political rea-
son-to avoid increasing taxes
in an election year.
But DR.. Long said econo-
mists advocate the fiscal pol
icy of maintaining a revenue
surplus.
mo one person" the party
leader said, can predict with
absolute certainty financial
conditions from year to year,
and the fact that Maryland,
under Gov. Tawes, has been
able to maintain a surplus in
the face of rising costs and
population explosions is a trib-
ute to the financial integrity
Of our chief executive"

2Bus Lines May Bypass
Sd on Single Fore Plan

from the single-fare plan, both
in terms of money and con-
venience.
There is a possibility, of
course, that AB&W will be
forced to take part, since MATC
has the power to order it to do
so If it wishes.
II the single-fare concept was
formally agreed to by the COM
panies and approved by MATC,
it would work this way:
A rider starting in Washing
ton would pay a 35-cent cash
fare on a D. C. Transit bus or
trolley, and would receive a
special transfer acceptable to
both Virginia companies.
If the rider were heading for
the Pentagon or any Defense
Department installation, he
would pay no additional fare,
Riders who now pay two sep
arate cash fares for this trip
to Virginia would save 10
cents. The present fare totals
IS cents. Riders who use q
D. C. Transit token and a Vir-
ginia strip ticket would save
4 cents. Those who use the
special 10-ticket books, how
ever, would pay "A cents more
One complicating factor, is
that the three companies al
ready have petitioned the
MATC to raise the price of the
book tickets from 30.6 cents to
81 cents. A hearing on this
petition is scheduled for August
%.
If the Washington rider
wanted to travel beyond the
defense installations in Virginia
under the Single-fare system,
he would pay 5 cents a zone
for each zone Travelled after the
installations. On an AB6W
bus. the rider paying a Accent
cash fare would pay about 10
cents less than at present.
On an Arnold coach, the
transfer would take him with
out extra charge into a zone
bounded by Court House road
in Arlington. He would have
to pay an additional 5 cents
for each additional zone. This
means that q trip on this
route that now costs so cents
in cash would cost between IS
and 40 cents under the proposed
plan.
A rider starting in Virginia
would pay the entire fare to
an AB&W or Arnold driver
and receive a transfer which
would take him wherever he
wanted to go in Washington.
The amount he paid would de-
pend on what zone he was in
when he boarded the bus.
But no matter how far he
Travelled in Virginia, D. C.
Transit would get IT'S cents on
the fare he paid. A joint ac-
counting system operated by
the three companies would di-
vide the receipts between the
carriers.

Many of the Guardsmen in
the company, who train at the
HyattSville Armory and live in
Maryland communities near
the District. said they thought
the situation in Berlin might
mean their two-weekS training
period would be extended.
Although their officers would
not comment on this possibil-
ity, the driver Of a Mobile
Scorpion 90-millimeter anti
tank gun said rumors of an ex-
tension were circulating in the
ranks and most of the guys
believe them"
II may wind up driving this

who is a cashier for a super
market in Langley Park, also
had Germany on his mind

to Europe, they'll have to bring
me back in IL months. I'm get

A sergeant from Riverdale
who was helping instruct the
Scorpion crew pointed out that
the body of the gun is alu-
minum, making the weapon
light enough to be dropped to
troops by parachute.
When the sergeant COM
planned there were no dummy
shells for the Scorpion, an Of
