MARYLAND BRIDGE
STATUTE UPHELD
Constitutional Objections to
Proposed Spans Ruled
, Invalid.
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Sept. 30.-Le-
gality Of the State act providing for
construction Of four bridges was upheld
yesterday by the Maryland Court Of
Appeals.
The court affirmed the decision Of
Judge Eugene O'Dunne in Baltimore,
who refused to issue an injunction
to prevent the State Roads Commits
sion from proceeding with plans to
construct the bridges across the Sus-
quehanna, Potomac and Patapsco
Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
The enjoining order was sought by
Clinton Wyatt, taxpayer. The
bridges, part Of $30,000,000 State
program, figured in the Democratic
primary campaign during which Pres
ident Roosevelt inspected site at
Morgantown. Representative David
J. Lewis, defeated for the Senate
nomination by Senator Millard E.
Tydings, conferred with the President
Tuesday trying to do something
which would permit their construc-
ton.
Objections Held Invalid.
The appellate court settled all con-
stitutional objections to the proposed
bridges by declaring the objections
invalid.
The principal issue, the court held,
was whether the issuance OF revenue
bond issue for the cost Of the bridges
would be unconstitutional under the
statute that DEGREES the Legislature
may not contract debt without max
retire the debt.
The revenue bonds would be paid
entirely from bridge tolls.
The court held the revenue bonds
were specifically created as self-retir-
ing and did not constitute State
debt, and that hence the objection
was unfounded.
The injunction petition also asserted
the contract of the State Highway
Commission for annual maintenance
Of the proposed bridges was uncon-
Stitutional under the same law. The
opinion said the bridges would be-
come q part of the State highway
system Immediately on completion and
maintenance would be only an ordi-
nary highway maintenance burden,
provided for in law and in no sense
an addition to the States debt.
Reading Issue Invalid
The court also held that the con-
stitutional challenge to the bridges on
the ground that the statute had not
been read three times on separate
days before both Houses of the Leg
islature was without foundation. Al
though the law was read only on the
calendar date Of April 5, the bill was
read before both Houses on separate
legislative days. This issue was so
narrow as to be invalid, the court
held, and was highly technical and
dubious
Objection on the ground that COL
lection and disbursement of the bridge
tolls was vested in the State Roads
Commission instead OF the State con-
troller's Office was also dismissed by
the court. The opinion held the reve-
nue. bond debt was no concern of the
State and that it would be misappli-
cation Of the toll revenues to place
them with the regular State revenues.

WALLACE PLEADS
FOR COTTON TAX
Urges Processing Levy to
Hold Up Price-Hits
Higher Loans.
By the Associated Press.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 30
Henry A. Wallace. Secretary of Agri-
culture. vigorously defended the Fed
eral cotton control program against
widespread Southern criticism In an
address today to farmers meeting
here.
He assailed both the domestic allot-
ment plan and proposals for a SUBJ
stantially higher loan on the staple. J.
E. Mcdonald, Texas commissioner of
agriculture renominated this summer.
is an active advocate of the domestic
allotment plan, and a group Of South
ern Senator's was called into confer
ence in Washington today to urge
higher cotton loans.
Secretary Wallace advocated re-en-
actment Of cotton processing tax to
assure maintenance Of a parity price
for the South's money crop He urged
the same thing for wheat at Hutchin.
son, Kans, yesterday.
Favors Middle of Road"
He suggested proponents of the
domestic allotment plan and sup
porters Of higher loans argue it out
with each other" After that. both
groups might be willing to 20 along
with the rest of US down the middle
Of the road" he said.
After citing asserted flaws in the
domestic allotment plan, Secretary
Wallace said:
The real issue is whether farmers
are going to scrap the present program
for one which for a time might Civ.
more business and profits to the in.
terests which buy and handle cotton
but would certainly reduce the income
of farmers themselves. The real issue
is whether the man who produces the
crop with the labor of his own hand!
is going to become a forgotten mar
once more. ="
Sees Complete L. S. Control.
Secretary Wallace said unreasonabl
high loans probably would mean tn
Government gradually would take owe
the cotton marketing machinery, max
ing drastic change in our bushes
system"
Il am in favor Of following policies.
he said, which avoid this kind Of de
velopment as long as possible. But
want to tell you frankly that any plal
for Government loans on cotton a
rates far out of line with supply ant
demand will take this country rapidl
in the direction of complete Govern
ment operation Of the entire cottol
marketing, processing and exportin
industry"

Neville Chamberlain, Reichsfuehrel
Adolf Hitler and Premiers Edouarc
Daladier and Benito Mussoini has ere.
ated feeling of alienation in Ru.
mania. even if this relief is only con.
ditional and temporary. But the wal
scare of the past weeks had caused 6
great strain on this country, not only
because it was torn between the doing.
OF two separate groups. but because, ir
case OF war, its territory would have
become the battlefield between Russia
and Germany.
On the other hand. todays Munich
settlement leaves a sore spot in the
hearts of all patriotic Rumanians
King Carol, clever ruler of this coun.
try, foresaw developments and as fal
back as six weeks ago advised Czecf
President Eduard Benes to make con.
cessions in order to avoid the create,
risk of war.
Rumania Expects Turn.

wells are well known, and, second

been whetted, and in view of this Ru.
mania must be on its guard.

cause Carol knows only one policy
neither pro-German nor pro-French
but -Rumanian.
The Munich agreement, however
has once more reused Polands ap-
petite and this country's demands
which up until yesterday were mod
crate, have again become excessive
This is perhaps the case because OF
the inevitable fact that the Polish and
Hungarian minorities question in
Czechoslovakia will be the subject OF
discussion in the near future. Poland
does not realize that now that the
Czech question is on the way to settle
ment, her turn will come next as far
as German ambitions are concerned.
Bulgaria Satisfied.
Bulgaria greeted the Munich agree
ment with considerable satisfaction,
and while the newspapers write in q
moderate vein, Bulgarian hopes for
treaty rectification have also been
reused.
Today, however, feeling of relief
prevails everywhere, although the wal
atmosphere lasted up until after mid
night last night. On Wednesday night,
there was a complete blackout> in
Warsaw, and last night, air raid
signals, followed by a blackout, were
heard in Bucharest, and it was in the
darkness Of the blackout that the news
Of the Munich agreement reached the
Rumanian capital by radio.

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept 30.-Work-
men from the State Roads Commission
today erected wooden barriers closing
the old grade crossing where IA Will
Transport High School children were
killed in the tragic bus-train wreck
three years ago. Nevertheless, it may
be reOpened.
The work was done over the protest
of the Rockville Town Council, which
had requested that the closing of the
crossing be deferred until a new con-
Meeting road could be built to link the
eastern portion of town with the new
overpass south of here.
Councilman Edgar Reed. who said
earlier in the week that he would favor
injunction proceedings to prevent the
closing Of the old crossing at this time,
disclosed today that there is some hope
that the crossing might be reopened.
He explained that j. Glenn Beall,
chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, would come here Tuesday to
confer with council members and hear
their arguments for opening 1t until
the connecting road is built next year.
The Federal ALLEGATION made for con-
struction of the new overpass was
based on the condition that the old
crossing be closed. but Council men,
bers contend that there is nothing to
prevent the crossing being kept open
until the new road is built.
Mayor Douglas Blandford. who ar
ranged for Tuesdays conference at the
request of the Council members. said
several days ago that he was very
well satisfied" with the decision to
close the crossing and pointed out that
sentiment was practically unanimous
in favor of shutting off the crossing
after the tragic wreck.

There is little chance Of at

Pirates are well established on

Giants are strictly a cash-and-
