BALTIMORE, Aug. 3.-<Maryland-
ers were told today by Lee l.. Dopkin,
member of the State Board of Public
Welfare, that there would be ap-
proximately 100000 unemployed in
the State after the war.
The statement was made during
the initial meeting of the Maryland
Commission or Postwar Reconstruc-
ton and Development.
The commission announced 1t
would set UP plans for projects to
absorb between 100000 and 100000
persons after the war. Mr.. Dopkin
said the figures, which he presented
in a report to the commission,
represented possible unemployment
in event of an industrial collapse
after the war.
Roy Barton White, president OF
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad and
chairman of the commission, told
the members that there might be
condition that would make the
amount of employment involved the
most important part of the project"
In message to the commission,
Gov. O'Conor declared that mo one
who recalls the unemployment and
the resultant chaos prevailing
among the people of our State and
country during the depression years
of the thirties would ever want to
face such tragic period again.
Yet we must appreciate" he con-
tinued, "the fact that, with industry
accelerated vastly more than during
the other war, and with Maryland
industries devoted almost entirely
to war production. of one type or
another, the economic letdown and
the distress always resultant upon
such a letdown, might be worse than
after World War l."
DR.. Abel Wolman, chairman of
the Maryland State Planning Com
mission, was elected vice chairman
of the new commission, and I. Alvin
Pasarew. acting executive secretary
of the State Planning Commission,
was named secretary.
Mr.. White urged the engaging
of an engineer because anything
on which money is to be spent
should have very careful considera-
ton"
The suggestion was made by
Glenn I. Martin, president of the
Glenn l.. Martin Co., that other
specialists would be needed as we'll
as engineers.
The discussion by the commission
indicated that first consideration
would be given to $1,000, 900 worth
of projected Improvements on State
institutions.
DR.. Wolman said that there were
projected highways and bridges
which should be translated into

In Danger Of Losing BoIIo,
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 3.-Leon A.
Rubenstein, member of the House
of Delegates from Baltimore's 4th
district, estimates today that 200, 00O
American citizens are in danger of
losing their right to vote in the 1914
presidential election unless they
comply with the States Declaration
of Intention Act.
The act requires that prospective
voters from other States appear be-
fore the clerk of a Superior Court
and record their intentions ofsbecom-
ing citizens of Maryland. This must
be done at least year before an
election. v'- d.
Mr.. Rubenstein said the Declare
ton of Intentions Act was lob
noxious." He charged the act has
prevented thousands of Marylanders
from voting and has thus, in effect,
disfranchised them.
The act was passed in 1902 for
the ostensible purpose of preventing
fraudulent registration and voting by
ringers, M" he said, "but since it has
been used for narrow political ends"
w. Albert Menchine, deputy clerk
OF the Baltimore Superior Court,
said the deadline for declarations by
those who wish to vote in next
years elections is November 6.

For Railroad Station
Servicemen's Center
Building Will Provide
Rest, Recreation
For Frunsients

The Federal Works Agency an
nounced yesterday the allotment of
1925 900 in Lanham Act funds for
the construction and equipping of a
building for rest and recreation IA
cilities for servicemen in the vicinity
Of Union Station.
Baird Snyder, acting for Maj. Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, administrator of
FWA, said that the project would
provide about $50 transient service
men with facilities for taking maps
enjoying showers, checking their
bags and getting something to eat.
- The project is sponsored by Rec
reatiorF Services, nc, the operating
agency for the War Hospitality
Committee, and was urged by the
committee, after recent survey of
needs OF servicemen.
Will Not Be Typical Center.
The new building, which will be a
tWo-story temporary structure SINH
lar to those on the Mall, will not be
the typical type of servicemen's CEN
ter, according to Mr.. Snyder.
1--WE want it to be used for a few
hours in between trains" he ex-
planned. For that reason there will
be big, comfortable deck chairs for
resting purposes on the first floor
and cots, not beds, on the second
We don't want it to serve as head
quarters for a man on a three-day
pass, because many other agencies
are equipped to provide that This
building is for the poor kids who
hitherto have had to sprawl in the
waiting room at Union Station while
they waited for trains"
Yesterdays action was seen as q
possible forerunner of the adoption
of another recommendation of the
War Hospitality Committee for
quarters for junior officers of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Plight Cited.
A spokesman at the Hospitality
Committee said 1--WE have again and
again asked for such a center"
The War Hospitality Committee
survey" Mr.. Snyder said, shows
that officers are no better off than
buck privates when they arrive in
town on temporary assignments and
have neither time nor money to
devote to finding comfortable quar-
tiers. If funds are allocated the
officers would be charged for rooms
and food. No charges will be made
at the Union Station project, how
ever"

Health Examinations
For 5000 in District
Owners and Managers
Of Eating Places Asked
TO Arrange Appointment:

Another step to improve health
conditions in the District was taken
yesterday when Leighton Williams.
business agent of the local branch
of the Cooks, Pastry Cooks and
Kitchen Employees Union, ordered
the 5000 union members to take
physical examinations.
He said today that of the total
number of union workers in the in
dustry about 40 per cent directly
handle food in the local restaurants,
cafes, hotels and night clubs.
The order came after it had been
reported that OF all the workers..
union and rioflunion, about $500
had some form of venereal disease.
Mr.. Williams pointed out that of
the thousands working in the in
dustry, which has been declared es-
sential to the war effort, many are
in the 4-F draft classification.
Many of those rejected took up
work In our industry when they
could not get into the armed
forces" he added. He said it was
only natural that some of them had
venereal disease.
He recommended that owners and
managers of eating places having
contracts with the union immedi-
ately arrange for physical examina-
tons of their employees. Reports of
discovery of venereal disease should
be made to the District Bureau of
Venereal Disease, which is headed
by DR.. F. G. Gillick, he said, and
added there should be cooperation
on an educational and treatment
basis by the bureau.
Information as to the percentage
OF those rejected because of the
disease is not tabulated at selective
service headquarters here.
