In Annapolis
Legislators to Study
Liquor and Court
Reform Proposals
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 22.-The Mary
land General Assembly enters the
second half of the 1943 session to-
night with a controversy expected
this week during Senate and House
Committee hearings on two of the
most controversial measures pro-
posed thus far-liquor and court
reform proposals.
The Senate and House judiciary
Committees have scheduled for to-
morrow a joint hearing on recodi-
flcation of the State wide liquor
control bill. sponsored by the Nc
Clayton commission, and the same
committees will hold an open ses-
sion Thursday in the Senate cham
Der on bills to reOrganize the State
court system.
The liquor bill proposes sweeping
changes in both the administration
of alcoholic beverage laws and the
license fees of dealers.
so Revisions in Bill.
At a special meeting in Baltimore
Saturday, the McClayton commits
sion made so revisions to the bill it
originally had prepared, Changes
were made in order to meet legisla-
tive criticism or to correst typo
graphical errors and make minor
Qualifications.
One amendment made would per-
NIT places dispensing liquor by the
drink to sell package goods also until
9 pm.
Another change made by the COM
mission, which was appointed more
than year ago by Gov. O'Conor,
would permit liquor establishments
to open at pm. on Sundays instead
of pm, as proposed originally.
The McClayton Commission report
recommended that a State liquor
commissioner be appointed by the
Governor to oversee the work of the
various county supervisors and that
Maryland State Police be used to
supervise retail establishments. Re
tail liquor dealers have voiced strong
opposition to these proposals.

ney Association Of Maryland, the
Montgomery and Anne Arundel
County Bar Associations in opposi-
ton, lively and well-attended joint
hearing was anticipated by legisla-
tors for Thursday.
Meanwhile, legislators had received
a pat on the back from Gov. O'Conor
for what he termed most capable

during the first half of the 1O43
session. ,-... I'll
Gov. O'Conor, in reviewing the
accomplishments of the General
Assembly so far, said that "the result
already achieved" promised to make
it outstanding in the annals of the
State"
He said it was particularly sig

passed in the first half of the session,
with 81 already signed by the
Governor.
Gov. O'Conor said that 654 bills
have been introduced in the Legis-
lature so far, with 139 of them hav-
ing passed the branch in which they
were introduced.

which had 200 bills ready for in

Correspondents Get Look
At Destroyer Escort...ssa

AN EASTERN SEAPO3s4 March
6 Correspondents had a look
today at.the Nays newest answer
to the submarine menace the tfin,
hitting destroyer escort"
The ship, which unlike regular de-
stroyers can be turned out by mass
production methods, is expected by
the Navy to be of great help as
watchdog for conveys.
Approximately 800 feet in length,
the sleek gray vessel is in the l 800
ton class.
Aboard are weapons for slugging
it out with submarines or airplanes
Cannon and torpedoes are In
tended for dealing with undersea
raiders caught on the surface, while
an unusually heavy barrage of
depth charges can be used against
subs detected under the waves.
The vessel has more than one
type of anti-aircraft gun.
The DE" is not as swift as de-
stroyer, but has more speed than
the Corvette-type craft used by
other nations for similar duty.
The ship fills the gap between
the subchasers and destroyers.
It is large enough to make the
longest convoy trips and is effective
in rough weather-thus having an
advantage over the smaller sub
chaSers.
Costing perhaps one-fourth as

a more simple design and can be
produced more quickly. 1t can be
manned by a quickly trained crew.

A committee representing each of

pealing the recommendation for
closing the establishment.
I'VE want to stay here until some
body else takes over" Miss Dorothy
Pickens, OPA employe who is chair
man of the committee, said after a
meeting of the tenants last night.
There's no reason why these houses
should stand vacant"
One plan the committee is con-
eidering, Miss Pickens said, is to
assume the lease ct the main house
at 1859 r street NV, which houses
IS tenants. With the normal WASH
ington turnover, she said. tenants
would leave the main house and be
replaced by occupants OF the other
houses in the development until all
the other houses were vacated
Monthly rental of the main house
Is $500.
May Seek New Operator.
Also under consideration are plans
to request the Government to take
over the rooming houses or to find a
rooming house operator willing to
take over the lease. Only the main
house Is rented The others are
owned by the corporation or its prin-
cipal stockholder.
The committee, Miss Pickens said,
already had approached the man
agement on the plan of operating a
cooperative and had been informed
that the furniture in the 26-room
house would cost the cooperative
$22,500 tan average Of approx
inately $3.50 for furniture for
room. Miss Pickens described the
furniture IS definitely not lavish.

four saircraft carriers, were Gripping
blows, he said. ;.
He made no specific prediction as
to completion Of the Nays author
tied quota Of 27,500 planes, but it
appeared that under co-ordinated
construction plans those would be
built as required to provide aircraft
for the expanded fleet.
Mr.. Knox disclosed Friday that
new production records for both
ships and planes were set in Feb
ruary. More than 1,400 planes were
built. of which more than half were
combat types, and 100 new combat
ships, totaling 100000 tons, were
constructed.
Answed to U-Boat Menace.
The Nays answer to the U-Boat
menace, he reported is in the new
destroyer escort vessels, hard-hitting
and fast-moving ships that fall be-
tween the size of the noted Canadian
corvettes ana American destroyers.
In the last two years, Mr.. Knox
noted in his report, the construc-
ton of 5,675, 600 tons of naval craft
has been authorized, in addition to
some small increases approved by
Congress soon after the European
war began. All ships originally
contemplated under this tonnage
authorization actually are being
built or are planned for building
except several super battlSships
which MIR. Knox identified in his
report only as some large units
The overall ship production pro-
gram was scheduled for completion
in l947." he summed up, but
speeded up construction has broken
all previous records and it is now ex-
pected that, except for some large
units upon which work has been
suspended due to material shortages
and the length Of time required to
build, the entire authorized ton
mage will have been commissioned
and put into active service before
the close of l945."
Financial Obligations.
Financial obligations incurred by
the Navy during the year, the Sec
retary said, amounted to $21 2l9 500 :
AS and in addition $10,670, ,627 1885
Of obligations was carried over from
the preceding fiscal period. OF this
total of $31, ,890, 1876, ,780, the sum of
&8,778,850 ,436 was paid, leaving an
unpaid balance of $23, iii ,286, ,344 out
standing on June 80. This balance
represented contracts providing for
future payments.
ut would not be possible to over
emphasize the value and valor of
naval aviation's contribution to these
first six months of the war" Mr.,
Knox declared. Years of planning
and training in naval aviation paid
dividends when they were most
needed as our flyers and their Ma
rine Corps comrades smashed the
Jap's bid to cash in on his Pearl
Harbor success by establishing him
self menacingly closer to the con-
tinental United States"
OF the fighting in the Atlantic
the secretary said that in the early
months of the war the Navy's ability
to escort conveys was taxed to the
utmost and that situation provided
the opportunity for Axis submarines
to "inflict serious losses on coast
wise shipping" in American waters
These high merchant vesse
losses were sustained up to the enc
OF the fiscal year, by which time
however, the reproduction OF
anti-submarine vessels-both all
and surface-began to produce re-
suits"

An important Improvement during

weapons on combatant ships. Pro-

increased, he said. and the program

 Then I'd have them where I wanted them. They would be stuck. They would be dependent on that trade. Their chances of get ting work elsewhere would be poor. When unemployed there would be little danger of hem moving away to work elsewhere. When I needed them again they would be right ready and waiting and eager to come back to work for about anything they could get.
 But I am not an employer. 1 just work here like some 10000 others. I want to learn all can. If I were hired as Shipfitter, should welcome an opportunity to pick up knowledge of welding. If I were an outside machiniSt I should be eager for the opportun- ity to learn something of carpen- tering and painting or any other trade possible.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:
 The formal resolution quoted in your issue of August 26 as a part of an article opposing ''craft in- vasion" seems to me unfortunate.
 Tack welding by shipfitters and members of trades other than the welders is referred to as an ''evil." This is the traditional attitude of Old World craft unionism, and 1t has been maintained quite con- sistently by the American Fedora ton of Labor in this country.
 But please consider the argu- ments on the other side: Your ty- pical European workman starts out as a boy to learn trade. He is required to serve long appren- ticeship at low pay before he can win his journeyman standing or whatever you call it and full union pay.
 Conditions are such that to be- gin again and learn another trade would involve so many years work at low apprentice rates that com paratively few workmen can af- ford to learn more than one trade. What is the result? If a man is a chipper as boy, chances are he lives all his life and dies a chip per. If he is a shipfitter as boy he either does Shipfitting or he loafs on 8 government dole if he is lucky enough to get one. To go carpentering would be out of the question.
 The less a workman knows = the more he is under the thumb of those for whom he works. A man whose livelihood depends upon one trade is quite effectively tied down.
 If were an employer interested in running a typical Old World business, exploiting labor, and keeping my employees under my thumb at all times should try to take in as learners boys and girls with little education, teach them one trade or perhaps only few
