Merger Of Purchase
And Budget Offices
To Be Proposed
Maryland Legislature
Will Receive Plan
On Tuesday
BY the Associated Press.

oy VIC hSSOClulcO
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 28.-Consoli-
dalton of the Central Purchasing
Bureau and the budget director s
Office will be proposed to the Legis-
lature Tuesday, Gov O'Conor an
nounced today.
Gov. OConor said economy and
efficiency dictated preparation of
the proposal, which follows gener-
ally the recommendation of the
Bowman Committee on Reorganiza-
ton of the State government. The
measure will be backed by the
administration.
The executive pointed out that
the budget director would be in a
position more efficiently to prepare
biennial estimates if he is also
charged with directing State pur-
chases.
THE man who actually spends
the money can do better job of
recommending how much money
should be spent" Gov. O'Conor
said "He would be in constant
touch with price trends and values,
and would see that the State got
value received"
Gov O'Conor said the budget
director is now largely dependent
on the recommendations of the
various department heads in assem-
bling figures for the budget.
The proposed legislation will also
make for efficiency in legislative
procedure. Gov O'Conor said.
The budget director purchasing
agent, if the law is adopted, would
submit the completed State budget
on the day the Legislature convened,
Gov. OConor said.
lature should not have the budget
on opening day" the Governor
pointed out, "the director of the con-
solidated position would have been
working throughout the preceding
biennium, and would make prepara-
ton of the budget by opening day
part of his regular duties"
Present State law requires the sub
mission OF the budget within 80
days after the Legislature convenes.
Gov. O'Conor submitted his within
two weeks, but he feels the fiscal
outline should be before the legis-
lators from the opening of the ses-
sion.

eral Frank Murphy announced to-
day, has under investigation allega-
tons Of misconduct against Federal
Circuit Judge Martin r. Manton of
New York, one of the Nations rank
ing jurists, who has sat on the bench
for % years.
The department in Washington
said 1t had been making an in
vestigation into allegations of mis-
conduct against Martin T. Manton,
. Circuit Court judge for the second
judicial circuit. This investigation
Is to determine whether there Is
basis for action by Federal authori-
ties"
Judge Manton held a press con-
ference earlier when it had been
expected he would make some COM
ment on series of articles now cur
rent in the New York World
Telegram dealing with the judges
business relations.
The judge said, however, he had
decided against issuing statement
until all of the articles are pub
lishe6, after which will determine
what to say"
Says Paper Has 1t in For Him.
When informed that the Depart
4ent Of Justice was conducting an
investigation, Mr.. Manton said,
That's good. I am glad to hear
It,"
He charged that the World Tele-
. gram has had it in for me for a
long time" and he referred report
ers to his long record of written
opinions as proof that his conduct
had been proper.
A Justice Department official in
washington said allegations against
Judge Manton developed in the dis
trict attorneys Office in New York
City. Officials here declined COM
ment.
After the appearance of the first
newspaper article, Judge Manton

- Germ"

Judge Manton is the senior Judge
Of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals. The second judicial
circuit sits in New York City and
has jurisdiction over New York,
Connecticut and Vermont, and is
regarded as probably the most i'm
portant circuit because of the VOL
lime and significance of litigation
IN the Nations commercial center.
Judge Manton was appointed to
the Federal District bench by Presi-
dent Wilson in 1916. He was ele-
waited to the Circuit Court two years
later. Before his original appoint
rnent he was law associate of the
late Representative Bourke Cock
ran and of John B. Johnston, now
justice of the Appellate Division
of the State Supreme Court, second
department.
He is So years old, native of
New York City. He received his
law degree from Columbia Univer-
sjty and holds degrees from Ford
Ram University, Manhattan Col
lege, New York University and the
University of Vermont. Judge Man.
ton is member of the Interna-
tional Law Society and the New
