RetoiI Sales Credit Costs
Face Curb in Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. % (AP).-
The Maryland Senate will be
asked next week to approve
State regulation of credit on
retail sales.
The bill received overwhelm-
ing approval late yesterday in
the Senate Banking and In
Surance Committee. 1t will be
reported to the floor Tuesday.
The credit bill would limit by
statute, for the first time In
Maryland, the amount of fl
nance charges that could be
placed on monthly installments
and the interest that could be
charged on revolving credit"
accounts. -...
On installment sales up to
$1,000 the bill would allow $l2
per 500 per year as a finance
charge. The limit would be $40
per year on those contract
purchases over $1,000.
1h% Interest Proposed
In revolving credit accounts
at department stores, mail
order houses and the like
which customers add on to
from time to time and pay off
IS convenient-an interest rate
Of 1l2% per month would be
permitted on unpaid balances
mp to $1,000. The rate would
pc limited to l per cent per
month If the balance due was
oyer $1,000.
The Maryland Council of
Retail Merchants, which
strongly backed the bill, said
most merchants are already
charging these amounts and
some are charging more.
Yesterday near majorities in
the Maryland House and SEN
ate sponsored legislation to
lgive the counties and Baltimore
City SLAB million more for
the operation OF schools.

Association and the Package
Dealers Association, whose
members now hold the licenses,
opposed any increase. An in
crease in the number Of the
licenses available would de-
crease the value of existing
ones.
The law does not authorize
the sale of licenses by one
holder to another but neither
does the law prohibit it. Oscar
Dudley, attorney for a restau-
rant which doesn't have !
license, said his client was
offered one of the existing
licenses for $4,000. He said
more should be available.
Licenses Opposed
The Rev. Robert E. lavender,
pastor of the Brentwood Meth
odist Church, who opposed in
creasing the number Of licenses,
also declared that the traffic
in existing licenses should be
stopped. He said the licenses
belong to the county and
should be returned to the
county if the holder does not
want it any more.
The Prince Georges Minis
ters' Union and the Womer1's
Christian Temperance Union
opposed any increase in licenses
and another proposal to allow
sale of liquor on Sunday.
The liquor dealers asked the
Legislators to seek a State
Federal investigation of the
price differential between the
District of Columbia and Prince
Georges. County dealers claim
they are being Disseminated
against on prices and that re-
tail outlets in the District some
times sell liquor cheaper than
Prince Georges dealers can get
1t wholesale.

Bill Urged to Enlarge
Prince Georges Board

other members OF the board

vigorous, looking toward his
responsibility to the public
rather than to the other board
members" the committee said
The committee indicated it
favored the immediate enlarge
Iment of the board by appoints
ment but it said this might
produce friction. 1t has been
widely speculated that insur-
gent Democrats VINO wres0eo
conJrol of most offices from
the Old Guard faction last
year want the board enlarged

oe almost sure of taking com
troll. The Old Guard has a 30
majority now. II
The committee recommend
ed, however, that because most
persons heard by the commit
zee favored elections, the board
De enlarged through elections.
IL recommended that a part
time commissioner and q full
time chairman be elected IN
1864. Present members would
be eligible to run for the chair
manship without losing their
regular seat If they lose the
race for chairman. If one Of the
present members were to be
elected chairman, there would
still be a vacancy which could
be filled by appointment or
election, the report said.
The new member and the
chairman would be elected for
two-year terms. All seven seats
would come up again at the
regular elections in 1866.
The committee said the public
might be better served If at
least some Of the commissioners
were elected on a district basis,
but 1t left this for further study.
All the members run at-large
now.
More Study Favored
The committee also said
further study should be given
to the possibility Of electing
more full-time commissioners.
Members Of the State dele
cation are considering the APP
pointment OF commission 10
make a long-range study Of the
need for governmental changes

commissioners at one time.

The Delegates also agreed to
introduce legislation to create
a traffic school for violators of
motor vehicle laws. The school
would be under the direction of
the county Peoples Court.
Urban Renewal
Legislation to allow munich
palities to undertake urban re-
newal programs also will be in
troduced. Several towns want
such authority. the Delegates
said.
At a meeting Of the delega-
ton yesterday, Chairman Ed
ward Conroy declared it is his
policy to have all meetings of
the delegation open to the
press. r'"
His statement followed a
meeting Thursday at which
State Senator H. Winship
Wheatley barred reporters.
Several members Of the dele
cation said they didn't know it
was going to be closed but
couldn't do anything about it
since it was in the Senator's
quarters.
Members of the House yes
terday rejected a suggestion by
Delegate Robert Dentz to issue
a press release defending closed
meetings.
Liquor Laws Debated
County lawmakers also heard
more than two hours of pros
and cons on proposals to change
county liquor laws.
The Board of Liquor License
Commissioners asked that more
liquor licenses be permitted
to end the traffic in licenses,
some Of which repeatedly are
sold for up to $4,000.

Passage Called Doubtful


Although sponsored by SO Of
the 142 Delegates and IL of
the 20 Senators, there was
doubt that approval of the in
creased school aid will be forth
coming.
The plan was presented to
Gov. Tawes last fall and his
lack of public comment to date
indicates disfavor. He also is
on record as saying there will
be no tax increase during the
next fiscal year.
The fundamental feature of
the proposal is to base State
aid on pupils rather than mini
mum salaries for teachers.
The Teachers Association
maintains the salary yardstick
has lost its significance because
all the local governments are
paying more than the State
minimums.
THE new system will relate
the cost Of education directly
to pupils and viii be more re-
sponsive to change and local
needs" members said in a
statement.

ton Of School Superintend-

up to an additional $40 mil
lion for Baltimore City-as well
as revising the 40-year-old
basis for State support of edu-
cation.
They propose that the extra
money be collected by lowering
the personal and dependent in

to 5000.
That's equal to So in taxes

Colts GumbIe
With Boyd
On Waivers

BALTIMORE, Aug. 81 (APl
The Baltimore Colts took
gamble today by putting Boil
Boyd, three year defensivs
halfback regular, on the Ma
tional Football League waiver
list.
The former Oklahoma quar-
terback from Dallas suffered q
shoulder separation in last
Saturdays exhibition against
Pittsburgh. The Colts noted he
was injured on the waiver list
with the hope it viii scare other
league members away from
claiming him for 500.
If one does, the Colts I'M
doubtedly will withdraw him
from the waiver list.
Boyd along with Bill Ven-
tura. rookie defensive end, and
Bake Turner, a specialist last
season, were put on waivers by
Coach Don Shula in an attempt
to get down to today's player
limit Of 43. He has to cut one
more.
Ventura, out Of the University
Of Richmond. also has the tag
injured on him. He broke a foot
bone in last Saturdays game.
