adjournment, today tackled the tasl
Of completing work on numerou,
major bills, among them one to con.
tinue the mandatory one-third re.
duction Of Maryland income take,
through 1916.
Among the front-rank measures
passed yesterday by the Senate and
ready to 60 to the Governor for his

period Of separation required TO,
divorce from i've to three years.
The divorce proposal once was de-
feated In the Senate, but was passed

Meanwhile, many other important
measures were among the three
score or more approved yesterday by
one house or the other.
Limitation on Wage Suits.
They included:
A bill to prescribe a three-year
limit on suits to recover wages un-
der the Fair Labor Standards Act,
and a measure that would provide
for highway maintenance men" un-
der new classification of highway
employees. These bills passed in the
Senate.
The House approved motor
vehicle responsibility law which
would require persons involved in
accidents in which property damage
exceeded $50, or in which a person
was killed or injured, to deposit
bond with the Department of Motor
Vehicles to cover possible damages
arising from the accident.
This section would not apply to
those persons covered by insurance.
However, failure to heed provi-
sions of the law would result in
suspension of operators license until
compliance or satisfactory settle
ment is reported to the Department
of Motor Vehicles.
Doubling Of Per Diem Pay.
Other bills that were readied for
introduction in the Senate today
after passing the House included
one which would double the $40 per

tend the right of appeal to the

on the basis of length Of service.
Another would authorize two bond
issues for Baltimore City totaling
$500 900 to be used for CONSTRUCT
ing a new jail and renovating the

man Of the Revenues and Expendi-
lures Committee, favoring construc-
ton Of a county incinerator as q
Federal aid project. with Arlington
paying $125. .000-one-half the cost

Rental Plan Contemplated.
Under this plan, the result OF a

County Board Member Basil M. De
Lashmutt, Arlington would pay
rental which would be credited as
payment on the Federal share.
A similar plan was proposed by
Mr.. DeLashmutt to the county
board previously, but was ruled out

debt to run longer than q year
without q vote Of the citizens.
Action was deferred on another
report from the Revenues and Ex-
penditures Committee, recommend
ing salary increases for teachers,
police. firemen, public health nurses
and "white-collar" workers.

ries OF no less than $1,000, with an
nual increases of 500 for eight

ary of $1,000, with annual car al
lowance of $500;
establishment Of q merit system
under which regular annual salary
increases would be made: all white

mum Of $500, with annual salary
increases based on length of service.

increasing the tax rate from $2.70
to $3.375, or increasing the basis of
assessment from 40 to so per cent.

Justice Laws Urges
Laymen 10 Suggest
Court Improvements

A new system involving close CO.
operation between District citizens
and local court jurists was outlined
last night by Chief Justice Bolitha
J. Laws Of District Court, speaking
as chairman of the Committee on
Improvement. of Justice of the
American Bar Association, in an ad-
dress before the 35th anniversary
dinner of the Federation of Citizens
Associations at the Statler Hotel.
Justice Laws disclosed that busi-
ness, civic and professional leaders
had been invited to attend meet
ing tomorrow at which, as laymen,
they will be asked for suggestions
on improving the administration of
justice.
Chief Justice Laws told his audi
|ence that one mistake made in the
past when judicial conferences have
been held has been the absence Of
laymen at the meetings.
Central Figure in Drama"
"The layman is the central figure
In a courtroom drama" Justice Laws
declared. His welfare, his very fu-
ture may be at stake" Yet this es-
sential figure has been isnoreds by
us in the judicial branch Of the
Government"
Justice Laws expressed the belief
that constructive criticism, which
will aid operation of the courts here,
might be advanced by the prominent
group Of citizens invited to attend
tomorrows meeting. He declared
that the judiciary branch Of our
Government can be made more ef-
flcient by the complete sympathy
and cooperation" OF the members
of the community.
One Of the features of the dinner
last night, which was attended by
more than $50 guests, including
members of Congress and city ON
cials, was the presentation of The
Evening Star Trophy, awarded an
nually to the citizen making the
most notable contribution to the
advance of civic affairs in the Dis
trict. Recipient of this years award
was David Babp, secretary of the
Federation since 1924.
Lauded for Years Of Service.
In presenting the award Benjamin
M. McKelway, associate editor of
The Star, declared Mr.. Babp in his
many years Of service has been
outstanding in his loyalty, In his
willingness to serve the interests of
the federation at the cost Of his
own time and effort and in the in
dividual leadership he has offered"
In response, Mr.. Babp spoke Of the
Federation's long record Of service
to the District Of Columbia, espe-
cially in the tield of public utility
regulation, recalling the pioneer
efforts Of such past Federation
leaders as william NICK. Clayton.
Himself, former voting resident
OF Pennsylvania who came to WASH
ington as q young man, Mr.. Babp
deplored the lack of voting rights
In washington and called on the
Federation to work effectively In
demanding such rights until they
are granted. Some day, he said,
they will be.
Among guests introduced by VIII
bur 8. Finch, Federation president,
were Senator Burton Of Ohio, Rep
resentatives Coffee Of Washington,
Summers Of Texas and Stefan Of
Nebraska, and Commissioners John
Russell Young, Guy Mason and Col.

 For exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of out standing services to the Govern ment of the United States; as an Alaskan pilot and captain of the port at Kodiak, Attu and Kiska, from June, 1942, to December, 1943.
 After skillfully piloting trans port vessel into Massacre Bay, through poorly dangerous waters, when our forces landed for operations against the enemy, the Lieutenant quickly organized the office of Captain of the Port at Attu and supervised installation of harbor facilities and ably assisted the disembarking troops and sup plies despite extremely adverse weather and devastating. hostile shellfire.
 Accompanying the task force, he further distinguished himself by tireless, valuable service in similar operations during our subsequent occupation of Kiska ,t.

and more intellectual. Many local police have joined the horde of refugees, until it is almost impoS- sible for Hitler to control the country without using troops.
 Even Gestapo men are deserting. They are trying desperately to make deals with the Allies through neutral border towns. Army deser- tions have increased by leaps and bounds
 One new and perhaps most sig nificant development is that most German farmers now flatly refuse to ship food to the cities This is particularly reminiscent of what happened in the fall of 1918. Farmers have no faith in the German money, give up what goods they are forced to only at the point of gun.
 Neutral travellers do not believe that Hitler will surrender They still look for last ditch Nazi stand in the Bayarian mountains.
