ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-Anti-
administration forces lined ur
today behind a bill offered by
Maryland's Interracial Com
mission to end discrimination
in hotels and restaurants.
Support of the bill by Dele
gates Blair Lee III of Mont
gomery and Carlton R. Sickles
of Prince Georges, and Senator
Samuel w. Barrick of Frederick
should give the measure a boost
when racial legislation comes
up at a special session to be
called by Gov. Tawes on
March 8.
1t is generally conceded by
the administration and the
anti-administration forces that
the so-called public accom-
modations" legislation cannot
be passed under rules govern
ing the current 30-day session
which ends March 8. But Gov
Tawes has said he will call
a special session the following
day to deal with the matter.
Tawes' Stand Described
Go. Tawes has publicly in
dorsed an anti-diScriminatior
bill sponsored by the Legisla-
tive Council. Persons close tt
the Governor have said, how.
ever, that the Governor may
switch his support to the In.
terracial Commissions bill.
The main difference between
bills is in enforcement. The
Legislative Council bill woule
set up criminal penalties. Il
would be enforced by State.
attorneys after review by the
attorney general. ..
Under the commissions bill
the law would be enforced by
the commission but there would
be no criminal penalties.

One park tax rate for all
Montgomery County was advo-
Gated by the Allied Civic group
last night in Silver Spring.
In evaluating the proposed
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
budget, the group repeated a
recommendation of last year
that the upper and lower dis
tricts of the county pay the
same tax rate.
Robert M. Dor, chairman of
the groups Public Parks and
Recreation Committee, said the
budget proposes taxes of 13
cents per hundred dollars for
the lower district and S cents
per hundred dollars for the
upper district
"A substantial portion Of

! its opponents said 1t would
have favored the Til chain
stores which operate with few
employees.
For this reason, Alexandria
State Senator Armistead Boothe
raised the question of consti-
nationality Of the Fenwick
amendment.
IF we inject an arbitrary
figure on the number of en-
ployes permitted to sell on Sun
days, this amendment is likely
to make the entire Sunday
closing law unconstitutional,
Mr.. Boothe said.
Mr.. Fenwick replied that he
believed the amendment would
be constitutional.
Senator Edward L. Breeder,
ir.. of Norfolk, said the pro-
posed Fenwick amendment
docs not get at the problem. u
He added, 1T violates my sense
of fairness to say that some
stores can be open and others
can't"
Bills to Governor
The Senate passed and sent
to the Governor these bills:
To permit tecahers to cancel
their contracts with school
boards in cases where a school
is desegregated. The vote was
25-to-9 on the measure which
is similar to one passed two
years ago but which was vetoed
by former Gov. J. Lindsay

eral Assembly to re-enact the
bill. Mr.. Pollock has said his
biggest objection was with the
second mortgage restriction.
Investigators have found
that the firms closed under
the savings and loan regula-
tory act have had much of
their money tied up in second,
third and fourth mortgages.
In one case, the mortgages
turned out to be worthless
when the properties were auc-
toned because the sale prices
failed to cover more than the
first mortgages.
Insurance Bill
On another savings and loan
front, the House of Delegates
last night passed a bill which
would set up a State program
for inSuring accounts in saw
ings and loan associations.
The insurance bill, which
carries a top-priority label
from Gov. Tawes, was approved
by a vote of 10 to 0. 1t now
goes to the Senate where ap-
proval also is expected.
The bill provides for setting
up a fund which would insure
savings accounts up to $40, 900.
The insurance fund would be
financed by premiums paid by
the individual associations par
ticipating in the program.
The Senate last night passed
without objection a bill which
would provide tighter regula-
tons on the sale of stocks and
bonds. The bill, which now
goes to the House, is aimed at
eliminating fraud in the sale
Iof securities.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-The
administrator of Maryland's
new savings and loan law told
a Legislative Committee today
that he has sufficient working
force in the current breakdown
against unstable firms.
There's a limit to. how fast
we can process these things"
said Albert w. Ward, director
Of the Department of Assess
ments and Taxation which
administers the law.
Mr.. Ward, appearing before
the Senate Finance Committee,
was asked If he needed addi-
tional examiners and clerical
help to speed the job of check
ing the condition of all Mary
land savings and loan firms.
Sees Possible Backlog
Mr.. Ward said he has IL ex-
aminers and that any more at
this time would merely produce
a. backlog of work for other Of
ficials. After audits of the firms
are made, the reports must be
examined by Mr.. Ward and his
assistant, Harry B. Wolf. If
court action is indicated the
cases must be processed by the
Attorney Generals Office.
Since the State started the
examination last summer, when
the new law became effective,
court actions have been taken
against more than half a dozen
savings and loan associations.
Mr.. Wolf told the committee
that most of the real trouble
came from firms established by
out-of-state interests seeking
to take advantage of Mary
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-27

lands lack of regulations be-
fore last year.
He said, however, that Mary
land "old line" associations,
though sound as the rock of
gibraltar" should bear some of
the responsibility for the cur
rent troubles of the industry
because they resisted State
regulation for so long"
New Attack on Bill
Meanwhile, a new attack on
one Of the key provisions OF
Maryland's savings and loan
regulatory bill has been
launched in the House of Dele
gates.
Legislation sponsored by Del
egate Bernard Imber, a politi-
cal ally of Northwest Baltimore

lack, would ease restrictions
against savings and loan asso-
Citations taking second mort
cages.
Under Maryland's law passed
last year, a savings and loan
association is prohibited from
taking a second mortgage on
a property unless it holds the
first mortgage on it. Mr.. I'm
ber's bill would allow associa-
tions to take second or even
third and fourth mortgages on
any property so long as the to-
tai of these mortgages was not
more than so per cent of the
first mortgage.
Mr.. Pollack was the leader of
a move last spring to force
Maryland's regulatory law to
a referendum. Gov. TaWes got
around the move by calling
a special session of the Gen

their counties from the two
bills now before the General
Assembly.
The Eastern Shore counties,
and perhaps some others,

RICHMOND, Feb. 27.-The
House Finance Committee to-
day reported the administra-
tons income tax Withholding
bill for floor action this week
by a vote of 81.
1t acted after a hearing dur
ing which a number of Dele.
gates challenged the view Of
Tax Commissioner c. H. Morris
sett, who contended the shift
to Withholding did not mean 9
tax increase.
Opponents argued, however
if the $40 million windfall the
changeover will give the State
next year wasn't an increase OF
tax payments, they couldn't
think of any other way to de-
scribe it.
After voting the bill out by 9
show of hands, the committee
then killed the alternative pro.
posal Of Delegate Sam Pope--s
bill to increase the State income
tax rate for a two-year perioC
pending the possibility of a re.
tail sales tax recommendation
from a study commission.
The income tax increase wa!
killed by a voice vote.
More Liberal Blue Law
The Senate moved up ir
line for passage today a bill
liberalizing the Sunday-closine
"blue law" so as to permit the
sale of all food on Sundays
The bill was advanced after
the Senate defeated, II to 10
an amendment by Arlington
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick which would have re-
stricted Sunday sales Of food
only to stores employing not
more than three persons.
Mr.. Fenwick said his amend.
ment would force closing o.
larger chain stores but woule
let the "neighborhood grocer
and delicatessen operate or

A bill to accomplish the same
end was introduced by Airing
, ton Delegate William L. Win
ston sometime ago but en-
countered objections because
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-27

the commission would try to
resolve the matter through con-
ferences. AS a last resort, the
matter would be taken to court
under a civil proceeding rather
than a criminal warrant.
1.-THE spirit of the commits
sion bill is to try every pos
sible avenue of Cancellation be-
fore any court action is TAKEN"
Mr.. Lee said. Even then the
enforcement will be handled by
equity courts, the more concili-
atory method of getting re-
suits"
The racial issue is a delicate
one for both the Governor and
the anti-administration forces.
The Eastern Shore counties,
which carry a lot of weight
in the unit-rule Democratic
primary, are against public &C.
commodations legislation.
On the other hand, Baltimore
has a big Negro population and
also has a large unit vote.
Delegates Lee and Sickles
and Senator Barrick are run
ming for Statewide offices on
a ticket headed by George P.
Mahoney, who is opposing Gov.
TaWes in the gubernatorial
race.

Wilson Gives Redskins
More Cause to Worry

In his rookie year Wilson set
a one-game NIL rushing rec
ord Of 223 yards against Green
Bay, only to have Brown come
along and top it by IA. The same
year he returned a kickoff 1903
yards. Against Green Bay in
1860 he reeled off a 90-yard run
and scored on a 40-yard pass.
But the Ram coaches and Will
son never quite hit 1t off. He
was the leagues leading ground
gamer for six games in 1857
before being benched rhysteri-
ously. The following season
he got off to another good start
before a pinched nerve in the
back knocked him off the first
team.
Wilson runs with a Furnishing
high knee action. He has a de-
ceptive. long stride that takes
him places in a hurry once he
gets loose. And he can catch
passes. Quarterback Jim Nj
nowski hit him three times for
80 yards on little swing passes,
after taking the ball to Brown
on the inside. Wilson also car
ried 18 times, once more than
Brown, for rs yards. Brown
gained 1874.
Obviously. Wilson was big
help to Brown, both as a
blocker and in helping carry
the ball. Just as obviously he
may be a pain in the neck TO
the Redskins.

Films have caused a spate
Of quiet little arguments among
the coaches. The Colts, for
example, use a closeup camera
on Johnny Unitas when he
throws a pass. Another camera
picks up the receiver. A couple
of years ago the 49ers raised
the roof because they got q
copy Of a film showing Johnny
throwing the ball, but not q
hint Of the pass pattern. The
Californians wanted to know
what everybody else was doing
before John pulled the trigger.
Films have caused referees
and other officials awkward
moments when their errors
flickered on the screen. Some
owners don't bother to protest
bum decisions any more. They
simply clip the part showing
the officials blunder and send
it along to Commissioner Pete

Many teams still shoot

as the game unfolds. It's better
viewing for the average person
and easier to edit into a "high-

films now come from Tel-Ra.
