$4,000 Step
Mr.. Butcher said a IS motor
vehicle tax would produce
about 100000 and could make
up the revenue lost initially
from exempting manufacturing
machinery and inventory from
the property tax. This source
now brings in about 100000.
he said.
DR.. Wilson said elimination
of this tax would attract more
industry to the county, which.
over the years, would substan-
tally boost the county's tax in
come.
Clarke L. Fauver, FAC
chairman when the report was
drafted, said Prince Georges
County already exempts man
ufacturers from the inventory
tax and Howard does the same
for machinery.
Mr.. Butcher held little hope
for any part Of Mr.. Bresler's
bill that would divert to Mont
gomery funds now used by the
state. He said the previous
delegation failed to support a
local IS motor vehicle tax.
Councilman Grover Walker
wondered if a straight local
sales tax might be more equit-
able than just hitting owners
of motor vehicles.
Mr.. Floyd and Mr.. Butcher
agreed the administration and
collection of such a levy would
have to be done by the State,
which, inturn, would want part
of the receipts.

Punishment
Backed by
euchers

The D. C. Education Associa-
ton, represe $500
teachers and school officers,
today firmly backed Supt. Carl
F. Hansen's stand on corporal
punishment and dismissal.
The move was significant be-
cause it placed the major pro-
fessional organization in the
District squarely in favor Of two
key efforts of DR.. Hansen to
tighten school discipline.
DR.. Hansen has asked the
School Board to remove the
rule against corporal punish
ment, not to increase its use
but to let unruly pupils know
that teachers mean business.
Removal of the rule is intended
to relieve teachers of anxiety
over possible repercussions Of
laying hands on pupils.
DR.. Hansen also has asked
the board TO modify its at
tendance rule to allow dismissal
and greater suspension author
ity for pupils 7 to l6 years who
are chronic troublemakers.
In statement sent to School
Board members today, DCEA
Executive Secretary Helen E.
Samuel said DR.. Hansen us
correct when he says that
teachers are not DESTROYS of
employing corporal punishment,
but that they do desire to be
relieved Of the rule against it. "
The statement also agreed with
DR.. Hansen that the rule does
induce some children to be-
come arrogant and unrespon-
sive to authority"
The statement, from the as
sociation's executive board, said
that students and parents
must understand that touching
"a child, leading him physically
from the room and subduing a
pupil who has become uncon-
trollable are examples of dis
culinary control which are
permissible" i@

Montgomery County Council
leaders are expected to seek
support of a liberalized taxing
measure In the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly. and give full
exemption TO manufacturing
machinery and inventory.
John A. Floyd. president of
the Republican-d o nina e d
council, said last night official
action probably would come at
the groups regular meeting
Tuesday. when specific revenue
figures can be supplied by
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher.
Elected on an economy plat
form, the Republicans are
pledged to at least hold the
tax line on a proposed $97 8
million budget for l963-64 and
avoid anything near the 81
cent tax increase made by the
Democratic council last year.
Mr.. Floyd's prediction Of ac-
ton Tuesday came at the end
of a council meeting with the
Financial Advisory Committee.
Discussion covered a 6-point
report on possible revenue
sources made by the commit
tee in 1850, but centered on a
suggested IS motor vehicle tax
and the manufacturers tax
relief.
In BresIer Bill
Both items are included in a
tax bill introduced by Delegate
Charles S. Bresler, Republican
of Montgomery. although the
county now could tighten the
manufacturers tax burden, ac-
cording to Mr. Butcher.
