GOVERNOR MAPS PROGRAM
FOR A SPECIAL SESSION
Several Questions to be Presen-
ted-NO Date Has Been Set For
Meeting of Legislature
TO PROBE LEGAL SYSTEM

While his program to be submitted
at the coming special session of the
General Assembly has not been formu-
lated, Governor Albert C. Richie is
considering several questions he wants
to give to the legislature. Among
these are:
Legislation for liquor control in the
state.
Complete study and possible re-
vision of the legal system, especially
for curbing lynching and for speeding
up trials in the counties.
Opening of the Potomac River to
oyster dredgers and hand scrapers.
Provisions for some counties to
participate in the federal relief and
recovery programs.
Liquor Control Primary Object
The extraordinary gathering of the
legislators will be called primarily for
the consideration of liquor control, in
anticipation of the repeal of the
ElgnteenCn Amendment.
The lynching of a negro at Princess
Anne last Wednesday night has
prompted the Governor to give
thought to the present legal system in
the counties.
Certainly the legal system ought
to be examined and re-examined in
order to meet situation of this kind"
he asserted. "Such an examination
would include the consideration of
anti-lynching laws and the speeding
up of trials"
There was indicated that the jul
dietary of the counties may be en-
larged when it was pointed out there
are three judges to circuit of three
counties with these members of the
bench having to act on large number
and various kinds of cases coming be-
fore them.
The opening of the Potomac River
for oyster dredging has been agitated
by watermen, especially on the East
ern Shore, but previous efforts in this
direction have been opposed by the
Southern Maryland Senators, ]. Alan
Coad, of st. Mary's county, and
Walter J. Mitchell, of Charles county.
Date of Session Indefinite
The Governor pointed out the coun-
ties do not have the power to incur
obligations for relief and to provide
70 percent of the fund advanced for
the federal government on public
works projects.
No date has been set by Governor
Richie for the opening of the special
session but it is expected to start
early next month.
