Maryland Assembly
Prepares 10 Act on
Bills Tomorrow
Speaker Declares All
Committees Will Be
Named by Tonight
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-THE Mary
land General Assembly. with a rec
ord number OF bills already in its
hands for so early in the biennial
session, set out today to hang up
another record by arranging to act
on some of them tomorrow.
Two hundred and five bills were
introduced Thursday, the second day
of the session. The third meeting
of the two Houses will be held at
8 O'Clock tonight.
Speaker Thomas E. Conlon an
nounced that all his committees
would be appointed when the gavel
falls tonight.
He added that some Of the 205
bills prepared by the Legislative
Council, especially those repeating
bills now on the books, would be
ready for action by the House or
Senate as early as tomorrow.
Budget Message Friday.
Although not oficially confirmed
report was circulated in Annapolis
that Gov. O'Conor's first wartime
budget message to the General As
sembly would be presented Friday
afternoon.
Declining to confirm the report,
Gov. O'Conor said only that it
would be delivered very soon" after
his second-term inaugural Wednes-
day.
Speaker Conlon said this week
would be the start of a full five-day
working schedule for legislators.
Each Monday for the rest of the ses-
sion, he said, the General Assembly
will convene at pm.
Day sessions would be the order
from Tuesdays through Fridays,
with the Assembly adjourning each
Friday for the week end.
Seek to Avert jam.
In other sessions, it usually has
taken 10 days to three weeks to
appoint working committees.
Bills, in past General Assembly
sessions, no matter how important.
sometimes we're deliberately held
out or remained in committee until
| the closing hours of the sessions,
leading to what had become ira
ditional last-minute jams.
I Leaders of this Legislature said
they were determined that no last
minute rush would occur this ses-
sion. and said they would try to see
to it that every bill introduced was
acted on promptly.
The budget for the 1884 and
1944-45 fiscal years is expected to be
the closing highlights Of . busy
| week.

Hearings 70 Be Held
On Plans 70 Improve.
Nearby intersections
First Session Scheduled
For Thursday Night
At Silver Spring

Public hearings on proposals to
improve several important intersec-
tons in Bethesda and Silver Spring
will be held this week by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, it was an
nounced today by Fred w. Tuemm-
Ter, the commissions director of
planning.
The first session Thursday night,
in the hearing room of the Park and
Planning Building at Silver Spring,
will deal with plans for treatment of
three Georgia avenue intersections.
A proposal for the intersection of
Georgia avenue, Seminary road. Co.
lumbia boulevard and Dale drive at
North Woodside will be considered
at 7:45 pm. At $3.50 pm. the inter-
section of Georgia avenue and
Colesville road at the traffic light
will be considered. At 9 pm, or as
soon after as possible, the intersec-
ton OF Georgia avenue, the East
West highway and Falkland drive,
south Of the Baltimore & Ohio I'M
derpass, will be studied.
Preliminary to Vote.
The second hearing, in the Be-
thesda County Building at pm,
January 10. will consider treatment
of the intersection of Wisconsin
avenue, with the East-West high
way. the Old Georgetown road and
several other streets.
Studies of the intersections and
plans for their improvement have
been made by the highway planning
and technical staff of the commits
sion under the direction of Mr.
Tuemmler. The hearings are pre-
liminary to a commission vote on
whether to approve the plans and
to forward them to the State Roads
Commission.
Plans for improving the intersec-
ton of Wisconsin avenue with East
West highway have been ready for
several months and have been de-
livered to the Bethesda Chamber
OF Commerce for study and COM
ment. The model of the proposed
project is now on display in the
window of the Federline D. G.. S,
market in Bethesda.
Underpass Proposed.
The plan suggested by the com
| mission staff shows an underpass to
carry the heavy north-south traffic
on Wisconsin avenue In working
out the surface treatment a three
phase traffic control system has beer
evolved and one-way routing OF
trafiic has been indicated to pro-
vide for ciculation on local streets
The extension of an existing alley
between Edgemore and Midllesex
lanes will be necessary to carry out
this project.
Blueprints OF the plan for the
intersection of Georgia avenue and
the Colesville road have been furn-
ished the Silver Spring Board OF
Trade.
The plan for improving this inter-
section shows split traffic circle de-
signed to favor the heavier volume
of traffic moving north and south on
Georgia avenue. Pedestrian safety
has been increased by a realignment
and extension of sidewalks and by
the relocation OF the crossing where
necessary. Routing Of tranic to and
from the shopping center viii elm

0'Conor Asks
Ickes' Advice on
Closing Schools
information on Need
For Measures to
Save Fuel Sought
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gov. OConor today was awaiting
the advice of Oil Co-ordinator Ickes
on closing Maryland schools tempo
rarily and inStituting q five-day
week for public and non-essential
buildings as fuel conservation meas
ures.
The Governor yesterday sent Mr..
1ckes a telegram asking If it was
necessary or advisable to take either
step.
Gov. O'Conor said he has requested
full information on the, status of
fuel supplies in the East as well as
a statement by the Government on
additional steps needed to conserve
fuel.
Il made this request for informa-
ton not only as Governor of Mary
land but as the president of the
Governors Conference" he added.
Meets January 24-26.
Gov. O'Conor said the Atlantic
6eaboard States should cooperate in
any conservation measures suggested
by the Federal Government and
added he had asked Mr.. Ickes for
information so he might advise other
Governors of Washington's stand.
The Council of State Govern
ments, of which the Governors
Council is a branch, will hold its
sixth general assembly in Baltimore
January 24-26.
Gov. O'Conor said the various
States should agree on a day on
which public and on-essential
buildings would be closed, If such
step became necessary.
No "Dictation' Seen.
However, Leo H. Mccormick, State
director of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, who asserted his state
ment represented the attitude of
Washington officials, said:
THE Federal Government has de-
cided not to dictate at this time
methods of fuel conservation to
State and municipal governments or
to private industries.
Through the efforts of the OPA,
fuel oil is being rationed as equitably
as possible, but the adjustments
which necessarily follow the ration
program are left up to the ingenuity
of those affected. y Mr.. Hender-
sons announcement several days ago
of further and drastic cut in fuel
oil rations for all non-dwellings
buildings clearly outlines the OPAs
official position in this emer-
seiicy. = SO ~ 4 ~ s. 3 =
amy methods which may be
devised to bring about ever increas-
ing conservation of existing supplies
will be welcomed"

Butter Prices Not
ToIncreose For
Few Months

Butter available for civilian use
will not increase during the next
few months, although the Federal
Government has discontinued all
purchases of the commodity until
April. Current production of butter
averages about 16 pounds a year
per person, or about half a pound
less than in pre-war years. Of this,
49, pounds are being sent to our
armed forces and our allies, leaving
approximately l2l2 pounds per cap
lta for civilian consumption. Up to
5 million pounds of butter will be
released to hospitals from stocks
held by or set aside for the Food
Administration The butter is to
supply the hospitals from November
through March, and ration coupons
will be required.
