NEW YORK, July 19.--Except for
the strength in a number of foreign
issues and an improved tone to the
market for industrials. there was little
feature to bonds today. Trading was
on a Midsummer basis, with the pros
pect of dull period for several weeks.
The attraction of high yields and
reasonable security is again proving
benefit to the foreign group. Today

last week at 101. were offered today
under 100. At the same time there
was q spread Of q point and over be.
tween this bond and the later ma
turtles. Frequently the differential
Is as much as 21a points. One issue
Is no better than another. as they
are all secured equally and redeema-
Ole at the same price. Obviously, the
earlier issues are better placed than
the later ones. which accounts for
some of the premium quoted.
No Improvement is noticeable in
tie market for high-grade issues. In
Mct, Atchison General As and North

though Atchison and Northern Pa
CHIC stocks sold at the highest priceS

which were brought out at 97A some
weeks ago and regarded as one Of
the bonds properly priced, were off
nearly a point from their high today
In contrast with the action of this
group was the rise of a point in

PARK AND PLAN
BILL "BOMBPROOF"
Proponents of Montgomery
Measure Erect Constitu-
tionaIity Safeguards.
BY a STAFF Correspondent OF The star.

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March %
When the bill laying out the Mary
land Washington metropolitan district
in Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties and creating park and plan
ming commission for this area passes
the Senate OF the Maryland General
Assembly this week it will he as Judi
cially bombproof and free from CON
stitutional attack as human and legal
foresight can possibly make it.
The measure was the subject of
conference which lasted until long
after last midnight between Speaker
u. Brooke Lee, Silver Spring; former
Secretary of State PearIman, one of
Maryland's constitutional lawyers; ]
Bond Smith of Washington and Jo-
seph G., Cissell of Silver Spring, the
two latter having drawn the original
measure.
Attorneys Suggest Changes.
Certain amendments suggested by
these attorneys as a result of a study
OF the measure made since it passed
the House will be introduced in the
Senate when the bill is reported from
the committee probably tomorrow.
Mr.. Pearlman for the last week has
been in Annapolis studying the bill
and also examining decisions of the
Maryland Court of Appeals dealing
with coming and other questions that
are dealt with in this measure
the amendments will be designed
to make the bill conform to previous
decisions on these matters by the
high court of Maryland, as it is the
desire of the proponents of the meas
ure to have the development of the
metropolitan district of Washington
go forward without any delay due
to tying the question up in court
after legal attack.
Attacked by BaltimOrean.
AS a matter Of fact. the constitu-
tionality of the measure was attacked
in the House of Delegates by Daniel
G. Joseph, representing the sixth dis
trict of Baltimore. He quoted from
decisions of the Maryland Court of
Appeals, which, he said. prohibited
certain things in the bill. Particu-
larly he challenged that part of the
measure which prohibited property
owner from collecting damages from
the county officials for destruction
of any building which the owner had
erected on any land which had been
mapped out by the Planning Com
mission as a highway within five
years.
1t was following this attack in the
House that the proponents of the
measure sent for Mr.. Pearlman and
had him examine it's provisions with
view of making it conform to the
Maryland constitution and to the de-
cisions of the Appeals Court of
Maryland.
