OCOnOr Says State
Must Act Now For
Postwar Safety
Tells Steps Already Taken
To Preserve Our Economy
Taxes Low Now, He Says

Declaring that "every thinking
person, and every government
official worthy of the position,
must look to the postwar period
with apprehension and anxiety"
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor
pledged in his weekly address
broadcast over Radio Station
WFBR, efforts, supreme efforts"
to bolster the economic structure
of the State against the problems
of the postwar era.
Twenty-Five years ago." the
Governor said, zone generation
marched off to war. Today their
sons-yes, their daughters, too
march off to war. And when these
sons end daughters return, what
will they find awaiting them here?
A glad hand, a pat on the back,
and no more? Not if we can
help it!
Having in mind, also, the after
math of that great World War rs
years ago, we recall only too we'll
the economic chaos that followed
1.-THE hunger, the misery, the
SCATTERING of beliefs in our own
ability to order our lives properly
and decently. While we are work
ing with all our hearts for Victory
now, therefore, we must begin to
work just as zealously for Victory
in the time of peace ahead.
II am not, and never have been,
one of those who feel that this Isl
a matter primarily for the Federal
Government. Here in Maryland,
from the very first days of the
Commonwealth, the people have
stood on their own feet and
managed their own affairs, have
retained to the fullest their indie
pendence of thought and action.
No other policy, I am sure, would
be satisfactory to any true Mary
lander, come what may in the days
ahead.
II say this with full realization
of the fact that probably no State
in America will face greater prob
lens as the result of economic re-
adjustments after the war than our
own State of Maryland. No State
in proportion 10 its size and popu-
lation has made a greater contri-
button to the industrial war effort
than Maryland. No State, there
fore, is likely to be hit harder by
the postwar industrial let down,
if and when it comes, than Mary
land.
"The necessary first steps already
are underway. After thorough
consideration, legislation sponsored
by this State Administration, to
create a Commission on Post War
Reconstruction and Development,
has been introduced in the Assem-
bly,, and has passed to its third
reading in the House of Delegates.
If this bill is approved by the
General Assembly-and 1 have
every reason to believe it will be-
we will then have a Commission,
representing industry, labor,
finance, the legislature and the
general public, ready to attack the
problem
ain addition the budget now be-
fore the Legislature has $4,000, 900
set aside and ear-marked for post
war purposes so that we are ready
to go ahead-not just talk about it.
ALREADY a survey of the needs
of our State Institution is nearing
completion, and construction of
necessary projects can begin as
soon as the green light shows"

Administration Make!
Last Try 10 Preserve
$4,000 Salary Limit
| BorkIey Comedies Move
To Alter Debt Measure
Is Virtually Futile
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The administration made a
final and admittedly futile at
tempt today to divorce legisla-
ton raising the national debt
ceiling from a rider repeating
President Roosevelt's $4,000 sal
ary limit order.
Majority Leader Barkley agreed
to take up the double -barrelled
measure in the Senate, but made
it plain to reporters he believed the
salary limitation repeater had no
place in a debt limit bill. Opponents
of the pay check order deliberately
placed it there to avoid a veto,
knowing that passage of the $21O,-
100000 900 debt ceiling measure is
imperative if the Treasury is to go
ahead with its April financing drive.
Conceding little chance of alter
ing the bill as it was approved by
the Finance Committee, Senator
Barkley said he was opposed to the
rider, but favored the Senate version
over one previously adopted by the
House.
The Senate Committee substituted
for a complicated House amend
ment a provision prohibiting reduc-
tlons in wages or salaries which
would carry them below the highest
point they had reached between
January and September is, 1912.
The authority granted the President
under the Sterilization Act to pre-
VENT increases in wages or salaries
would be preserved.
The House had provided. on the
other hand. that salaries of more
than $25,000 net could not be re-
duced below the point they had
reached December 7, 1941, when the
United States entered the war. It's
amendment would have permitted
salaries which were lower on that
date to rise to the level of 5000
or gross of approximately $67, 200
before taxes.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee predicted there
would be little effestive opposi-
ton in the Senate to the revised
rider and said he hoped it might
be accepted by the House without
much difficulty.

New York-Jersey Transit
Workers Vote 10 Strike
By the Associated Press.


JERSEY CITY, N. j., March 23.--
Mayor Frank Hague made public to-
day a telegram received from en-
ployes of the Hudson & Manhattan
Railroad Co. announcing they had
voted to strike April 5.
Such strike, if carried into ef-
fect, would tie up service on the
vital commutation lines under the
Hudson River between downtown
and midtown New York on one side
ard Newark, Hoboken and Jersey
City on the other.
The telegram said SO per cent Of
1900 employees had been provided
for in negotiations between company
and union, but "a workers had not
been satisfied, and peaceful means
OF settlement appeared exhausted.
Signing the message was Eugene
Teeter national representative for
Local 213, Utility Workers Organiz-
ing Committee (CIO).
Mr. Teeter said the National Me-
diation Board, through Mediator
Otto Carpenter, had advised the
union its services were terminated
and a labor request that the case be
assigned to the National Railroad
Labor Panel had gone unanswered.
The dispute involves directly "a

He called on the medical profession,
educational institutions, the press

The first indication that the
