The Districts controversial
man-in- -the-house relief rule is
"just and equitable" but it
should be matched with aid to
children Of the unemployed,
the new District deputy well
fare director believes.
Albert P. Russo, former
director of social welfare for
Rhode Island, started his job
here yesterday. He observed
that Is States have some form
of man-in- -the-house rule, some
of these rules being more
severe than the Districts.
Families are ineligible for
public assistance here If a
mother is found to have a
continuing relationship with a
man and the man also is
judged to be acting as a substi-
tute father to the children, Mr..
Russo noted.
The District rule Is positive,
and more realistic than in
other jurisdictions, where
authorities know the problem
exists, but ignore it, Mr.. Russo
said. The problem is not unique
here, he added.
The District has a clear-cut
policy for coping with the
problem. and is not trying to
sweep it under the rug" Mr..
Russo asserted.
However, the rule should be

Tax WindfaH Seen
In Prince Georqes
BY PETER MASLEY
Star Staff Writer

The Prince Georges County
government may be in line for
a windfall of s1O-sl5 million
when it changes tax billing
dates to comply with State law.
q legislator believes.
At the same time. Delegate
Meyer NJ. Emanuel, jr.. Demo-
crat Of Prince Georges. said the
county might also receive ad-
ditional thousands Of dollars
If addresses on State income
tax returns were checked
against municipal boundary
lines.
Mr.. Emanuel, chairman of
the Finance subcommittee of
the Education subcommittee
which met last night, said the
county now collects taxes on
a calendar year basis.
Under a recently enacted
State law, the county has until
1866 to change its fiscal year
to July 1-June 80 basis. When
the change is made, Mr.. Eman-
uel said. the county is entitled
to call for six-months' taxes
ahead Of time.
Suggests Paying Debts
He said the county can COL
lect the tax in a lump sum,
pro rate it over a period of
months or years. or can even
waive it.
You can be criticized as
much for having a surplus as
for being imprudent," he said.
Mr.. Emanuel. in private life, is
a certified public accountant.
County Commissioner Gladys
Spellman, a member of the SUD-
committee, said maybe we
could use this money to pay off
some debts" Mr.. Emanuel also
said the "windfall" could be
used to lower the tax rate but
added that the county COM
missioners will have to make
the decisions.
Turning to State share d
funds which are apportioned to
municipalities and the county
government. Mr.. Emanuel said
that their distribution depends
on whether people filing State
income tax forms live in the
municipalities or a unincorpo-
rated area.
Proposes Check
If the person lives in a town, /
portion of his income tax
goes to the municipality. If he
lives in the county the county
government receives a portion.
Mr.. Emanuel proposed that a
county auditor check addresses
on income tax returns in the
State controllers office to de-
termine the accuracy of the dis
tribution of money. Problems
arise, he said, in areas such as
the city of HyattSville, where
many people ouside the city list

possibly indicating they are city
residents when they really are
not.
The city Of Hyattsville may
very well be collecting taxes
from people who do not live in
the city," he said. THE only
way this can be determined is
by an audit of addresses on
State income tax returns.
If it takes legislation to per-
nit county examiners to see If
the funds are properly distrib-
uted." he said, then I would
consider introducing it."

Attorneys for the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroads told the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today that merger of the
two systems would be in the
public interest and would end
wasteful competition.
Prime F. Osborn, Jackson
vile, Fla, ACL vice president

merger would substantially in
crease efficiency and would
not eliminate service at any
major point on either line.
Mr.. Osborn noted that some
opposition to the merger is
based on the fact that both
ACL and Seaboard are in good
financial condition. He said
ACL and Seaboard wanted to
merge and protect themselves
before they encounter financial
difficulties.
AS an example, he said that,
