coed George Akerson.
Mr.. Strother's functions at the White
House consisted of research work for
the President, principally in connection
with the preparation of speeches and
messages. He generally was referred to
as the Presidents literary assistant. At
the time he was drafted by the PreSi-

Georges County will have to get along
without a police force during the next
two months, it appeared last night,
when the Democratic delegates sue
ceeded in introducing, over the strenu-
Gus objection of the Republicans, bill
to repeal the. law under which the force

The unusual move was neceSsitated,
the Democratic members said, to avoid

Rule Suspension Necessary.
As the time for introducing bills ex-
pired last Friday, it was necessary to
obtain q suspension of the rules to in
troduce the repeater.
Delegate Kent R. Mullilxin, chairman
Of the delegation, moved for the suS-
pension shortly after the House con-
vened last night, and after Delegate
Oliver MetNott, Republican floor leader,
argued against the motion. The Demo-
Gratis won their point by vote Of 80 to
IS. A two-thirdS vote, or q total OF 70
in the present makeup of the House
is necessary to suspend the rules.
Delegate Mullikin explained In asking
for the suspension that the pending bill,
creating a new force of IL men in the
county, under the supervision Of chief
of police rather than the sheriff, would
go into effect June /.
Under the existing law the terms Of
