Contrasting conditions in the Eng
disappearing world with those in
oppressed nations, Circuit Judge
Stedman Prescott told the Mont
gomery County grand jury today it
was an important bulwark of liberty.
Delivering the charge at the OPEN
ing of the March term, Judge Pres
colt asked:
do you feel that in many coun-
tries of the world today an accused
has the right of having % of his
fellowmen in his community pass
on the question of whether he
should be charged with crime?
Grand juries were bought at the
price of hundreds and hundreds of
years of bloodshed on the part of
our forefathers While most of us
take them for granted. every citizen
of the Englsh-speaking world should
realize the part they play in pre-
serving mans liberties"

ANNAPOLIS, March 17-Gov.
O'Conor said today it is likely that
the present General Assemblys ap-
preparations for general funds and
new construction will be at least
S25 900 less than the total outlays
for these accounts made four years
ago for the 1859 biennial budget.
A total of s4S, 1885, 1853 will be allo-
Gated for the next two-year period,
according to general fund appropri-
ations and the proposed bond issue
bill now being considered by the
Legislature. The 1887 Legislature
made appropriations totaling s48.-
41O,657.
The Governor also said that re-
vised calculations Indicated that
100000 more can be eliminated
from the present budget and, if
the Senate Finance Committee finds
other reductions juStiflable, the l94l
total can be pared down addition

Periodic Budget Review.
He added that he plans for a
periodic review of the budget dur
ing the next two years, with the
view of reducing still further the
sum total of which can be done
by impounding any funds not found
to be necessary"
Referring to his comparison of
appropriation figures, Gov. O'Conor
said:
Il am not taking into account
the special fund revenues, which
principally devoted to road construc-
tion and maintenance, because the
present demand is for additional
road construction and, therefore,
these accounts are not subject to
the same considerations as relate
to general funds and to building
programs at the various State hos
pitfalls, institutions, etc."
The Governor announced yester-
day that he intends to reappoint

the jurists an exclusively appellate
function passed the House last week

'The fact that Mr.. Sloan is a
Republican has no bearing upon the
present ISSUE" the Democratic Gov

I'VE need on our highest court
men of demonstrated capacity, un-
questioned integrity and wide ex-

he happens to be affiliated with the
