Gov. 0'Conor 10 Call
Special Session on
Votes for Soldiers
Ry the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
BALTIM Feb. 19.-Gov
O'Conor announced tonight his in
tention Of calling special session
of the Maryland General Assembly,
probably for the week of March s,
to provide Tor the soldier vote.
In broadcast Gov. OConor said
that whether Congress enacts legis-
lation leaving the States the settle
ment CT such questions as qualifica-
tions Of voters and the validity of
ballots. "1t appears necessary for
Maryland to enact further legisla-
ton In order to safeguard the voting
rights to those in the service
The session, accordingly, will be
called unless special reasons de-
velop >. to make 1t inadvisable, -
he added.
Gov. O'Connor previously had
contended that the State should take
no atcion on the matter until Con-
gress reached final decision.
Wait Declared Wise.
The various developments, the
proposals and counter proposals and
the changing attitudes combine to
show that We in Maryland would
have been unwise to have rushed
ahead and passed a State law
hurriedly, conditional upon a Fed
eral system then thought to be likely
OF adoption" he said.
The Governor proposed continu-
alton OF $40 monthly bonus pay
ments to Maryland school teachers
until April l, 1945, eliminating the
months of July and August when
the schools are not in session. The
teachers thus would be paid the in
creases until the next regular Gen
eral Assembly session meets in
March, 1945.
He said he was willing to recon-
mend to the Legislature that two
thirds of the cost (of the payments)
be betrayed by the State on con-
dition that the local governments
put up one-third =. Under
this plan the State will be required
to advance more than a million dol
lars extra which, with the additional
amount of 81 100000 provided at the
beginning of the present fiscal year,
will total about 100000 paid out
of the State treasury for school
teachers increases"
Funds to Be Exhausted by April.
The present appropriation for the
bonuses will be exhausted in April
School officials have urged continu-
ance of the payments, and the Gov
ernor said the plan for extension on
a State-county-city plan carried the
approval of State Treasurer Hooper
S. Miles and State Controller j.
Millard Tawes.
Gov. O'Connor said his proposed
financial arrangement would bring
Maryland's total public school ap-
preparations to $19,O00,0OO for the
two-year period, or $1,000 900 greater
than any previous Free State edu-
cation budget.

Business Inventories
Down $1,000, 100000
Ry the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
The value of business inventories
declined $1,200,O00,000 during 1943
the first time since the outbreak of
war in 1889 that business firms failed
to accumulate additional stocks, the
Commerce Department reported yes
terday.
Total value of inventories at years
end was reported at $26, 300 900, 900.
The decline in the total business
inventory in 1943 was attributed
chiefly to the extraordinary lioui-
datlon of retail stocks, most of which
occurred during December when
holiday buying reached an all-time
record.

whether the plan succeeded, but the

the plan was not a success.

The circulation department" con-
sisted of Maquis groups organized
by the paper itself. The staff was
especially hunted by a brigade of
special French police, a group act

despite its small size, always re-
quired a staff of about $50 editorial

landmarks of European journalism
probably have disappeared forever,
