Well Done, Gentlemen!

EOR THE FIRST time in many
= decades a special session of the
Maryland Legislature confined
itself to the purposes for which it
was called, passed emergency
legislation and adjourned within a
week. In addition, the session was
conducted with. dignity and de-
corum.
Results can be traced partly to
efforts made in the last election to
improved the calibre Of the Legis-
lature's personnel and partly to
the leadership displayed in both
House and Senate. Thorough
preparation of the emergency bills
by Governor O'Conor and his ex-
ecutive staff also played an i'm
portant role.
There were efforts to inject
extraneous matters into the ses-
sion. Among these was an at
tempt to force consideration of a
bill calling for repeal of the
Maryland Declarations of Inten-
tions Act. This bill had the back
ing of various organizations and
was sidetracked only by unusual
parliamentary maneuvers.
The special session was called
to consider emergency legislation
only. The job was well done.

The Trend Continues

A MOTHER SEAT in the House
n of Representatives, held by
the Democrats since 1880, has gone
over to the Republicans. A spe-
cial election in the First Congress
sional District of Colorado, which
comprises the city of Denver, re-
suited in success for the Repub-
lican nominee. The Democratic
candidate was Major Carl E.
Wuertle, wounded and decorated
Pacific flyer. AS a war veteran
he presented a strong appeal. He
was defeated by the G. o. P. cam
didate, Dean M. Gillespie, who
campaigned on a straight anti
New Deal platform. The District
is considered normally Demo-
cratic.
Thus the trend continues. The
tide has been flowing this way for
two years and seems to be gaining
momentum.
There are several more special
elections scheduled in the near
future to fill vacancies in the
House of Representatives. If the
present trend continues the Demo-
Gratis will lose control of the House
seven months before the presiden-
tial election.

Pleasure Driving Ban?

I IKE THE BOY in Aesop's fable
- the Maryland OPA has the
habit of crying wolf" too often.
It does not seem to. understand
that continual use of threatening
and sensational publicity produces
only a negative effect.
During the past week the Mary
land OPA has again filled promi-
nent newspaper space with stories
of critical gasoline shortage and
possible cut in coupon values,
coupled with rumors of another
ban on pleasure driving.
Naturally the pleasure driving
angle made the headlines. 1t was
played up, as the Maryland OPA
Office must have known it would
be. The critical situation in the
overall gasoline picture and the
possible cut in coupon values were
given secondary prominence.
Thus the cart has again been
placed before the horse. Facts
about the impending gasoline
shortage would have been vastly
more effective if they had not been
thrown out of focus by the pleas
ure driving rumor.
In Washington the ban on
pleasure driving is considered to
have been one of OPA's worst mis-
takes. 1t is not likely to be re-
peated.
