New Liquor Tax Voted By House
In Annapolis the Democratic House passed a bill to add a nickel per fifth of liquor and allocate one third of receipts to counties. The measure, identical to last year’s vetoed bill, won 89 votes, with Republicans largely supporting it. The debate touched Gov. McKeldin and a potential double tax plan tied to the state budget. The bill’s impact includes a reduction of state revenue by about 900,000 annually and a redistribution to counties and Baltimore City. The session also moved toward repealing last year’s auto license plate law and included several other measures, while the Senate enacted a milk products bill and other statutes. Argentina agreed to buy 30 million dollars more in Soviet steel and machinery.

Big Decline In Workers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a December to January drop of two million payroll workers in industry transportation government and trade. Nonfarm employment reached 47.7 million the lowest since 1953 aside from that year, with factory payrolls down 380,000. Census figures show 59.8 million civilian employment in January, about one million below December. Differences arise from payroll versus household surveys and temporary layoffs counted differently. Government employment declined and wholesale and retail trade fell by 500,000 to 10.4 million.

Bill Would Put State In Business
A bill to create a fund for automobile damage claims would force the state into the insurance business, critics say. Deputy insurance commissioner John Coppage warned the plan amounts to backdoor state involvement, while sponsor Del. Dempsey defended it as addressing uninsured drivers and hit run cases with a pool funded by insurers and registered motorists. Opponents argued premiums would rise to cover the program and administrative costs.

Judge Upholds Baltimore Rent Control Law
Baltimore Judge S Ralph Warnken ruled that the citys rent control law is valid under police power and upheld the Housing Rent Commission. He found the enabling act invalid due to a legislative form mix up, but the charter powers justify the law. Continuance depends on a housing emergency, which was not proven.
