NGE RECONNENDS PAY RESTORATN Legislators Hear Program Which Would Continue Present Aid Tax. BY JACK ALLEN. Stafr Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 6.—Res- toration of all 1933 pay cuts, con- tinuation of the present relief tax pro- gram and an increase in the State police force were recommended by Gov. Harry W. Nice today in his address convening the regular 1937 gession of the Maryland Geéneral As- sembly. He also set forth in clear terms he felt appropriations to State depart- ments should be increased, but of- fered no suggestion as to the source that should be tapped to provide the additional revenue, apparently with- holding his views for his budget message later. ‘The budget message, which must be delivered within 20 days, will carry in detail the Governor's proposed in- creases for various agencies. “It is easy to realize,” he declared, “at the very outset that the shrinkage in the State's normal income and the subsequent curtailment of many activi- ties have put us in the position after nearly four years of drastic economy where many necessarily neglected tasks must be faced if we are really to take care of certain fundamental heeds.” Hits Critics, In his address the Governor took the critics of his administration to task after reviewing the work of all State departments during his adminis- tration and pridefully pointing out as *a most noteworthy achievement” that no agency has exceeded its budgetary allotment during 1936 fiscal year. “Men in public office,” he stated, “become the frequent target of at- tacks born of misunderstanding that 8 times seems almost wilful. I think it can be conceded that an apparently consciously determined misconstruc- tion has been used so frequently by some of my opponents as to make it facetious. “I have endeavored to be fair, con- gcientious and certainly have labored to the limit of my ability to give a sound, honest and efficient admin- istration. * * * “In the main, such criticism has been based upon a blind partisan | hostility. “I hope, however, that our critics will have sufficient sense of fair play @s not to try to make it appear that this recitation of our achievements (yours and mine) has been submitted n any spirit of smug self-satisfactio Allays Sales Tax Fears, 1 G STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

QUICK WIT SAVES COMPANY'S CASH Clerk Dashes Through Ice Box as Bandits Demand Entry to Plant. A cool head, which became still cool- er as he dashed through a 70-foot ice box last night, enabled a Colonial Ice Cream Co. clerk to save $300 of his firm's money from bandits. The employe, Russell C. 8napp, 39, of 505 Park road, was at work in the company office at 416 Ca- nal street south- east when he heard a knocking at the glass door. ‘Two masked faces peered in, and a hand with a gun in it mo- ' © ®® tioned for Snapp to unlock the door. Darting behind a counter, Snapp ran along the catwalk of a huge ice box, where thousands of gallons of ice cream are stored, and left the plant through a rear exit. He took all the money in the office with him. At the nearby home of C. T. Boswell, an official of the concern, he told what had happened and called police. When eight scout cars and detec- tives and officers from the fourth and fitth precincts responded to a general alarm, the masked men had gone. Other victims of hold-ups and rob- | beries reported during the last 24 | hours were not so fortunte. They | gave up cash and property totaling several hundred dollars. One of the heaviest losers was Miss Margaret Ennis, 1800 K street, whose parked car was broken into and cloth- ing and a table radio, all valued at Miss Grace McLeod, 1437 Girard | street, reported the entry of her room | and the theft of a small strongbox containing $57 in cash, an $80 Gov- | ernment check and a diamond stick- | pin. | Brisbane, writer and editor of the A quantity of liquor was taken by | fined for more than a month. | Hearst newspapers, earned $200,500 | thieves who hurled a brick through during the year.

Nice said that half of the classified | employes on the pay roll in 1933 and many school teachers as well have left the service for “more lucrative fields” and declared the wage cuts should be restored to prevent addi- tional resignations.

Jail Crowding Pointed Out. i Nice further said the Legislature &lz0 should give serious consideration to the report of the commission which has been studying overcrowded condi- tions and idleness in the State penal - institutions. He suggested another commission be formed to make a complete study of the entire fiscal structure of the State and its subdivisions and en- deavor to formulate improvements in co-ordination and centralized control. He asserted a program of that type would lead to substantial savings. His other recommendations in- eluded: Increase in the budgetary allot- ments for care of insane persons and sale of bonds for construction addi- tional facilities needed for proper hos- pitalization.

VATICAN CITY, January 6.— Sinking spells in which Pope Pius XI frequently drifted to the borderline of unconsciousness were reported today to have hampered his recovery for the last 48 hours. Informed sources said the holy father’s medical attendants were be- ing called repeatedly to rally him from the attacks. Dr. Aminta Milani, the chief physician, was reported to have spent all last night in the papal apart- ments within call for an emergency. ‘The cardinals heading congrega- tions, or executive departments, of the church have been asked not to leave Rome because of the pontiff's illness, reliable sources said. Official reports said the Pope’s con- dition was unchanged this morning and that he had passed a relatively calm night. Reliable sources reported, however, the pontiff, who i5 79, retained his strength at mere intervals in what they described as virtually unmiti- gated pain. His nights, during which he suffers agonies from his swollen legs and the complications of old age, are much | less reposeful, they said, than the days. He spends his waking daylight hours, these sources said, alternating brief business talks with dozing and prayer.
