LEGISLATURE CONVENES: A
STIFF BATTLE LOOMING
Many FeaturesOf Unemployment
Insurance Bill Being Opposed
Senators And Delegates
NICE SPEAKS TO GROUP

The unemployment insurance bill
drafted by Governor Nice's commit
tee, was dropped into hostile Senate
Tuesday, opposition developing even
before the special session of the
Maryland Legislature was called to
order at noon.
Senate leaders made no bones of
their opposition to the bill as it now
stands. House sentiment could not be
determined, Immediately.
Senator J. Allan Coad DIST. Mary's
county,, finance chairman, introduced
the measure by request and then out
lined his position as:
~ know nothing about this bill.
do not approve of many features of it.
l am opposed to many features of it as
it now stands. l want to serve notice
that will oppose strongly many fea-
lures of it."
Exact fate of the measure could not
be determined. There was no doubs
that certain features of it would meet
strong opposition.
Senator Wilmer F. Davis (R.-Caro-
line), said he felt that employees should
bear part of the tax and that the en-
ployer should not be forced to handle
all of it. He also opposed taxing seas
onal employers, pointing out that this
would place Eastern Shore Gamers at
disadvantage.
The tentative bill also provides for
appointment by the governor of an en-
ployment insurance commission Of
three members without consent of the
Senate. A number of Senators OPP
posed that part.
The Finance and Ways and Means
Committee met in joint session yes
terday to begin hearings on the bill.
Favor Minimum Tax
The opinion was freely expressed
in both Houses that bill contain

curity act requirements" should be

PENSION CASES DECIDED
BY LOCAL WELFARE GROUP
Five More Granted-Twenty-
five Aid to Children Cases
Approved

Five old-age pensions were granted
and twenty-five Aid to Dependent
Children cases were reviewed and ap-
proved for payment, Miss Ethel Miller,
executive secretary, announced follow
ing the regular monthly meeting Of
the County Welfare Board on Monday,
December Z. Charles w. Ream, chair
man, was unable to attend as he has
not yet fully recovered from recent
illness, and Delbert Davis was ap-
pointed as temporary chairman.
Miss Ruth Keller, Grantsville, was
appointed senior worker in place Of
James Frame, who resigned to take
position as relief administrator in
Preston county, w. Va. She began
work Immediately.
The question of giving employables
direct relief was again discussed, and
it was decided to continue the policy
of no direct relief for families in which
there are able bodied persons. This
policy has been enforced since Janu-
airy, 1886, and in view of shortage
of funds it was decided that private
industry or WPA will have to take
care of the families which contain
employable members, Miss Miller
stated.
There will be CCC enrolment in
January for boys between the ages of
II and %, who are in families eligible
for relief.
The WPA quota in this county has
been reduced to 2SO, plus those en-
ployed on Resettlement and youth
projects. WPA has not placed any
body on jobs for two weeks, and it is
doubtful that they will employ addi-
tional persons for some time, Miss
Miller concluded.

Little boys and girls in foster homes
of the county would like to have some
sleds for Christmas, Mrs. E. z. Tower,
in charge of Maryland Children's Aid
work in this county, announced this

no Christmas.
There are four girls and five boys
who are looking for such gifts, she
stated. These children are being cared

Great Britain Refuses
To Postpone Alliances

LONDON, April 2 U.N.S)
Great Britain cannot agree to
poStponement of the consulta-
lions between the British, French
and Belgian general StaffS on the
Rhineland crisis, Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin told the House
Of Commons today.
Baldwin assured Commons the
talks would be held shortly be-
fore Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden had similarly informed
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, Ger
many's ambassador-at-large, de-
spite the protest voiced by Rib
bentrop.
The talks will be held as a
result Of Germany's rejection of
the Locarno powers proposals.
Eden informed Ribbentrop that
France and Belgium were being
given letters guaranteeing Sc
curity of these countries in event
Cancellation f fails. Ribbentrop
was told the guarantee does not
necessarily operate Immediately
One of the main points dis
cusSed by the two diplomats, it
was learned, was whether Brit
ain would participate in the Sc
curity pactS proposed by Hitler
as q guarantor, as he suggested,
or as a participant, as envisioned
in the Locarno powers proposals.
Another point discussed was
3ritain's desire to have the Ger
man proposals discussed through
diplomatic channels, while France
is urging that the Locarno powers
be called together Immediately to
debate them.

ly scoring Germany's peace plan
as "hypocritical," "insolent," and
bound to lead in the end to war

indicated a flat rejection by the
government.
The famous commentator, "Per
tinax," said Hitler has presented
a program (which, If executed in
spirit and letter, would plunge
Europe into fire and blood"
Staff Talks Slated
Declaring negotiation with the
Reich under Hitler's terms is un
thinkable, the government called
it's foreign office experts to con
ference at the Quai d-Orsay today
to analyze Germany'S terms.
AS q result of discussions 81
this meeting, it was learned, the
government expects the general
staff talks will take place soon
probably next week.
ENJOYS To Confer
The French ambassadors to Lon
don, Berlin, and Rome were or
dered to come to Paris for a con
ference at the foreign office to
morrow. This will be followed by

Candidate Quits
Sheriff Race in
FAVOR of Wife

WESTON, w. Va, April q.
Who says there is no gallantry in
politics?
Robert Burkhammer had filed
for the nomination Of sheriff Of
Lewis county. Mrs. Burkhammer
decided she would like to be q lady
sheriff so she filed for the office
yesterday.
He and his wife talked things
over and decided there was no
use in splitting the vote the family
might get. And anyway ladies
should always be first in polite
society.
So Burkhammer withdrew his
candidacy, leaving his wife to up
hold the family in the race.
