BALTIMORE, Nov. "a
Maryland motorists may have
to buy q county license tag in
1865. in addition TO their State
license plates.
A measure authorizing the
States % counties and Balti-
more City to require the tags to
help finance local road con-
struction and maintenance was
recommended here yesterday
by the Legislative Council, an
advisory arm Of the Maryland
General Assembly.
The proposal win be present.
ed to the Maryland Legislature,
converting in February, for fl
nal action.
In Road Funds Package
The local license tag measure
was tied to q roads financing
package approved last week by
the Legislative Council. It calls
for q one-cent increase In the
present six-cent State tax on
each gallon Of gasoline, and
raising the motor vehicle IT,
Ting levy from two to three per
cent.
The new one-cent gasoline
tax increase would be used en-

together would raise about SIS
million In 1865 for road build

The local license tag Is de-
signed to quiet demands by
counties for q revision in the
distribution In the State gaso-
line tax-now allocated at so
per cent for the SRC, 80 per
cent for Baltimore City and 20
per cent for the counties.
County governments for
years have been pleading for
more than 20 per cent, but Of
ficials predicted that any revi-
sion formula would be defeated
in the Legislature by Baltimore
City law makers and the SRC.
Counties which want more
road building revenue bad
enough could raise it them
selves through local auto tags,
several Council members said.
Distribution Formula
The local tag measure carries
a distribution formula directing
that one-half the receipts 60 to
the county treasury and the
remaining one-half be divided
between the county and its
municipalities in proportion to
the mileage Of county and mu-
Inicipal roads. This ALLEGATION
was in answer to earlier COM
plants by the Maryland Num-
cipal League that towns would
not benefit from the new levy
County tags would cost s.
for vehicles whose State plates
cost UP to $50; or $40 for State
registrations costing up to $3.50
and SIS for vehicle regiStra-
tons costing more than $3.50,
Private passenger car license
plates cost SIS or $23, depend
ing on weight. The higher
charges are for commercial We
hicleS.
A suggestion that municipal
tiles also be allowed to require
auto tags was defeated by the
Legislative Council.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. - The
State of Arkansas, with lower
income and a higher education
al load than most other States
in the nation, continues to bur-
den its citizens with a wasteful
separate but unequal" school
system. This finding is spelled
out in a report released today
by the Arkansas Advisory Com
mittee of the US. Commission
on Civil Rights.
The 26-page report on the
current status of educational in
equalities in Arkansas marshals
facts and statistics which show
that 8 years after the Supreme
Court School Desegresafion de-
cisions, Arkansas is still opera
ting a prcdominantly segregated
school system. Negro students
comprise almost rs per cent of
the States total public school
enrolment, but in the spring of
1868 only .211 per cent of the
Negro students in Arkansas were
attending schools with whites.

children pay the price of this

Mormon Church Criticised FOv. Bi0e

NEW YORK, - The Mormon
Church was sharply criticized
today by one of its members for
its failure to grant equality to
Negroes.
Writing in the current issue
of Look Magazine, a 20-year-old
Mormon student called on Church
leaders TO re-examine existing
doctrine that prevents Negroes
from becoming priests in the
Church.
IT h e Negro" declared Jeff
Nye. student at the University
of Utah, lis not equal to the
white in the Mormon Church,
and equality is impossible as
long as the Church denies the
priesthood to the Negro. This
is the policy of the Church"
Pointing out that the priest
hood is the foundation of the
Church and that all white males
are eligible for the priesthood,
Nye wrote:
The Mormon Church taught
me that the Negro was not
equal to the white in terms Of
religious rights and oPportvni-
ties. u taught me that the Negro
was cursed with the loss Of Gods
priesthood and that the evidence,
or mark. Of this curse was his
dark skim"
Most Mormons, Nye said, have
an attitude of overwhelming
apathy" toward Negroes. The
present Mormon Negro doctrine,
he added. adds to this apathy
and gives Mormon a God sane
toned reason for feeling super
ior to the Negroes
In an accompanying interview
appearing in the magazine,
Joseph Fielding Smith, h e
Church's doctrinarian and one
of its highest officials conced-
ed that Negroes cannot become
priests but denied that h S
Church teaches or believes that
the Negro is inferior
Smith said that no consider
alton is being given now to
changing Church doctrine to-
ward the Negro because such
change can come about only
through divine revelation, and
no one can predict when .
