Delay on New
State Hospitals
$500, 900 Reduction
Would Be Made in
Pending Budget
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, March 10. - Gov
OConor has announced his inCen-
ton of recommending two years de-
ferment in scheduled State con-
struction of chronic disease hospitals
to effect a $1,500000 cut in the
pending State budget.
Provision for the hospitals has
been made in a bond issue bill now
before the Legislature.
The Governor said he had learned
from county commissioners and
other county representatives that
immediate construction of hospitals
would not result in the closing of
almshouses throughout Maryland,
(which was what I had in mind
when making the original proposal -
County officials definitely state
they do not wish to close county
almshouses and, of course, there is
no method by which we can force
them to do So" he said.
Would Save Interest.
after reviewing carefully all the
factors involved, I think it might be
advisable for us to consider defer
ment for two years the construction
of chronic disease hospitals which is
proposed in the bond issue bill now
pending before the General As
sembly.
While no definite action is yet
decided upon, l intend to confer
with members of the Legislature to
see if they agree if this large eX-
penditure might be avoided for the
present.
IF it is ultimately decided to
eliminate this appropriation, the
construction loan could be reduced
by $1,500,000, which is the estimated
amount that the hospitals will cost.
Furthermore, the interest charges in
the present budget on this item,
which is the largest in the bond
issue billS will be saved"
Meanwhile, John w. Avirett, 2nd,
president of the Maryland Society
for the Prevention of Blindness,
charged that representatives of the
fireworks industry and politicians
al Z SOiAokJA4 44lS anu PIog 4I46 AOi tIlC
delay of the fireworks bill, hoping
that it will be pigeonholed or killed
in the laSt-minute jam"
Change Is Approved.
Mr.. Avirett, leader of the fight
for adoption of House Bill No. 20
to prohibit promiscuous sale and
use of fireworks, cited the introduc-
ton by secret vote last week of an
amendment to the bill.
This amendment would give the
State insurance commissioner the
right to authorize the sale of any
fireworks which he finds safe in the
hands of any one, including
children"
John B. Centrum, the insurance
commissioner, said Saturday that
he opposes the amendment and did
not want the responsibility of de-
termining safe" fireworks.
He said he did not think any
of them could be called safe where
children were concerned"

Race and religion ought to be-, on any logical ground, the last causes of strife" stated Rev. David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Bap- tist church in a recent address ct Temple Israel.
 Rev. MT. Gaines said in part:
 When one thinks about 1t, the feeling of superiority on account of race has nothing to commend 1t to reason. Birth is an accident or part of e providence independent of our- selves. We do not choose to be white or black or yellow. The logical emo- ton, if we are glad we are what we are racially, Is gratitude for the ad- vailtages membership in our race gives us, and the wish to share these with those of races we regard less favored. Why should we wish to per- suade or destroy those we think in- ferior?
 I suppose, the psychologist would tell us that a sense of racial Sipe- riority is, after all, really the result of feeling of inferiority.
 Superior Feeling
 It is easy to see how one may have a superior feeling on account of religion. Here there is the element of choice. Though born to one reli- zion, we may choose to adopt an- ther; and whether we do turn or adhere to our ancestral faith, we may sincerely believe that our reli- zion has more than others to com- mend 1t. But we need to watch reli- giou s pride closely, remembering that the excellence we cherish is in our religion and not in ourselves. The Pharisee who thanked God that

EDUCATORS CLAIM RUMOR UNFOUNDED
Transportation for Pond Hill School Students Not
 to Be Discontinued ,5

Naugatuck, March 7-Board of education members vigorously de- nied rumor mentioned yesterday at the boards meeting that If Pond Hill residents didn't discontinue at tending school board sessions to protest the closing of their school, transportation for children of the Pond Hill school district would be discontinued The board members declared the rumor unfounded.
 w. Fremont Hoadley had men, toned this rumor at the meeting and also told of another rumor to the effect that the school board planned to sell the school to a group or an individual for use as a tav- ern or dance hall. Board members declared there was no such intention and reminded that the board didn't have the power to sell the school, that this power lay only with the board of warden and burgesses of which Mir. Hoadley is a member.
 MT. Hoadley said he did not be- lleve the borough board gave enough consideration to the request of the school board last year, when 1t cut the request from $2l9,000 to $2l2,000. and added he was "deeply interested" in the school department budget for the new fiscal year. He also queried as to why trucks had moved supplies from the Pond Hill school. saying residents feared that this meant there was no chance of the school being reopened again. He was told by Supt. Chittenden that 1t was only perishable supplies which were removed. He said that because more Pond Hill residents did not attend the meeting does not indicate they don't want the school reopened.
 The school board concurred in @ vote of the borough board Tuesday by which 88-l00 of an acre of land near Recreation field Is turned over to the state. Attorney Frederick smedley of the state highway de- partment explained the states plans for the new highway here.
