Aviation Plans
Are Considered
AT Annapolis
Legislature Is Asked
To Match u. S. Funds
For Building Fields
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 23.-The Mary
land Legislature had before it
today comprehensive postwar
aviation program calling for the use
of State highway funds to match
any Federal appropriations that
might become available for a chain
of airports throughout Maryland.
The program was submitted to
the lawmakers in special message
from Gov. O'Conor, who said the
plan would place Maryland "in the
forefront of the States" in postwar
aviation.
Our Army and Navy have Sc
lected the State already for the
location of air bases, the dimensions
of which are staggering and beyond
the knowledge of great majority
pf our own citizens" Gov. O'Conor
said.
i Plans Complete Program.
/ Outlining the eight-point pro-
gram briefly, the Governor said a
complete aviation program would
be submitted by the administration
In few days.
i The plan would include construc-
tion of landing strips at convenient
locations on the States highway
network.
that any error in judgment in not
perceiving the unlimited possibili-
ties of aviation may result in severe
financial losses to our State and to
its people" Gov. O'Conor said.
Il Gov. O'Conor suggested an intra-
state aerial system linking the East
arm and Western Shore communi-
ties by regular air schedules.
I Members went to work also today
on Gov. O'Conor's $112773,59O
budget with the Senate Finance and
the House Ways and Means Com
mittees in action.
Budget Director Called.
!. State Budget Director Walter N.
'Kirkman was to appear before the
House group to assist 1t in dealing
with the State fiscal problem.
Gov. O'Conors aviation program
proposed encouragement to CONNER
cfal airlines by avoiding tax in
creases and unnecessary restrictions.
The Governor favored giving juris-
diction over the program to the
State Aviation Commission, headed
by Charles H. Buck, Baltimore
banker.
Eight new bills were introduced,
but none were returned from COM
nlittees or brought to final vote.
Would Pay Governor $4,000.
Delegate Samuel H. Harvey, Dem
ocrat, OF Prince Georges introduced
bill in the House to raise the sal
ary of the Governor from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually. He also intro
duced a bill to increase the salary
of the secretary of State from $4,000
to $1,000.
Both measures would require
amendment of the constitution and,
If approved by the Legislature, would
be submitted to the voters at the
next gubernatorial election in No
vember, 1916
The salary of a constitutional
officer cannot be raised during his
term of Office.

Wife Of Army Major
Brutal 10 Daughter,
Fairfax Jury Told

Mrs. Rosa Weber, Annandale
Acres, wife of an Army major
charged with malicious cruelty to
her 5-year-old daughter, Rosalee
Ann, was described by Common
wealth's Attorney Hugh B. Marsh
in Fairfax County Circuit Court to-
day as mother who had instilled
fear into her child through mis-
treatment.
In his opening statement before
a f1ve-man jury Mr.. Marsh said
the State would prove that acts OF
brutality were committed on the
child by her parent. Under State
law, he said, these acts constitute
a misdemeanor.
Mrs. Webber, wife of Maj. Frank
r. Webber, Army Signal Corps Of
ficer, was indicted by a grand Jury
at the opening of the November
term Of court. She was released
on $500 bond after pleading not
guilty. Her trial had been twice
postponed because of her illness.
Mr.. Marsh said that when the
child was taken from the Webber
home by county welfare authorities
she was in a bad state of under
development. He said the child 8
legs and back were covered with
bruises, her ribs protruded, and that
she exhibited timidity that was not
normal.
Claims Charges Exaggerated.
George B. Robey, who, with State
Senator Andrew w. Clarke. is rep
resenting the defendant, told the
jury that the defense expected to
produce witnesses to prove the COM
monwealth's charges "are exagger-
ated."
Mr.. Robey said he expected to
prove the child was suffering from
malnutrition," and that she had
been premature baby and thus
was underdeveloped.
DR.. T. B. McCord, Fairfax physi-
clan, testified that when he ex-
amined the child November II at
nursing home, she was grossly
emaciated, her mouth was swollen,
and she had lacerations of the skull,
bruises and abrasions.
Child's Ribs Protruded.
DR.. McCord said the child's alb
domen was abnormally large, indi-
eating a vitamin deficiency, and
that her ribs protruded. He said
the mental reactions of the baby
appeared normal for a child in her
physical condition. He said he had
seen her later, and although, he had
not made a physical examination
she appeared to have improved
greatly.
The child was placed in the Gus
tody of the County Welfare Depart
ment after the mother was first
tried in the County Trial Justice
Court on a petition from the We'll
fare Department.

.PbAskspoIice
10 Help Enforce
'broWnout' Rule
New York System
Used as Model for
Program Here

Enforcement of the War Produc.
tion Boards "brownout" order, effec-
tive February /, will require the
local police to report violations
where they see outside illumination
still on contrary to the orders.
Edward Falck, director Of the
Office Of War Utilities of the WPB
today sent a telegram to District
Commissioner Young saying: "Effec-
tive enforcement depends upon using
local police. We have asked local
electric utilities to work out with
you enforcement measures within
your community. VIII greatly ap.
preciate your corporation"
Confers With La Guardia.
Mr.. Falck said he had spent two
days in New York conferring with
Mayor La Guardia on the enforce
ment Of the order and although
procedure planned still is under
discussion with Police Commissioner
Lewis A. Valentine, it is the pro-
cedure which is expected to be fol-
lowed throughout the country. The
plan is substantially as follows:
The police will receive and become
familiar with the "brownout" order.
Where they notice a violation, they
will call it to the attention of the
violator informally.
However, where the patrolman
sees the violation continue on the
second night. he will then inform
his captain, and the captain will
forward report to the utility COM
pany. The utility, in turn, will use
informal pressure to try to end the
violation, but where that fails 1t
will send aformal letter of warning
to the violator and send copy Of
that letter to the WPB.
Final Action Left to WPB.
From then on it is the RESPONSE
bility of the WPB to issue to the
utility an order to curtail or to cut
of electric power to the violator.
| Meanwhile, in Washington the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. has started

Silver Spring Group
Opposes Centralized
Fire Alarm System

Opposition to establishing a CEN
tral fire alarm system for Mont
gomery County was voiced in a
resolution unanimously adopted last
night by the Allied Civic Group of
Silver Spring at a meeting in the
Silver Spring county building.
Voicing the groups support OF the
Silver Spring Volunteer Fire De-
partment, which is fighting a pro-
posal Of the Montgomery County
Association of Volunteer Firemen
TO set up a central alarm head
quarters, the resolution also COM
mends the department on "its
prompt and efficient service and
the perfection OF its control sys-
tem." Action of the group, which
is composed Of II civic associations,
followed talks by representatives of
the local fire department.
The Silver Spring Fire Depart
ment contends that central fire
board set up in the western area
of the county similar to that in
Silver Spring would give the same
protection and be as effective as
the proposed central system and
would cost less.
In a second resolution the Allied
Civic Group approved proposal OF
the Montgomery County Advisory
Committee on Postwar and General
Planning calling for early acquisi-
ton of adequate public parking
space for the Silver Spring and Be-
thesda business districts. It recon-
mends that property purchased for
this purpose not be subject to trans
fer, but be kept under the direct
supervision of the county commits
sioners.
In the event that public interest
dictates that transfer of property
be made, the resolution states, such
transfer should be made only after
full public notice and hearing"
The Allied Civic Group also
adopted resolutions indorsing Gov
|O'Conor's public education program
and the proposed purchase of por.
ton of the Bean property at Fores
Glen for the Silver Spring hospita
site. 1t was decided to sponsor {
series Of bingo parties to raise fund.
for the hospital project.
Deploring the delay in installation
of traffic lights at the intersection Of
Georgia and Eastern avenues ane
Blair road at the District line, the
group voted to ask the county com.
Imissioners to speed these projects.
