ing all the homes of the people who
live in the area" the committees

White Defends Work
OF Legislative Council
After Sharp Attack
By the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
( ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 23-Dissatis-
| faction of some legislators with
work of the Legislative Council be-
came an open issue yesterday when
an attack against it in the House
Ways and Means Committee was
answered vigorously by Speaker
White of Prince Georges.
! Appearing to urge prompt action
on a council and administration
backed measure, Mr.. White de-
Tended the council when Delegate
James Gill, Democrat, of Mont
gomery, declared it was losing
prestige by sending down ill-con-
sidered legislation.
The Legislative Council is the
best thing that ever happened to
Maryland" Mr. White exclaimed,
adding that "the Legislative Coun-
Gil was created for a good purpose
and it has done that purpose"
Council measures were carefully
considered. he contended, and de-
cried charges he said had been
made that it was rubber stamp
organization through which admin
istration bills were routed.
Fact-Finding Organization.
eff you don't think we argue in
the council, ask the press" he de-
clared. I'VE make mistakes, sure.
But so does the Legislature
Il don't say we're infallible, but
We have done a good job"
The Legislative Council is an Or
ganization of IA legislators-seven
each from the Senate and House
which is charged with fact finding"
enterprises between sessions and de-
veloping legislation based thereon.
The stage was set for Mr.. Whites
blast when Mr.. Gill declared he had
given erroneous information to the
committee on the bill.
Mr.. White said the purpose of the
bill was to raise $4,000 additional
from clerks of courts fees paid to
the State in order to take care of
salary increases given the clerks by
the l943 General Assembly.
The measure would increase Ger
tain fees for services in the clerk
office.
Says Bill Would Bring Million.
Mr.. Gill, chairman of a subcom-
mlttee examining the bill, declared
however, that his figures showed
the measure would raise more than
81 100000 per year.
IF this is revenue measure. let's
say so,'' he said.
from there he launched into his
criticism of the council. and Mr..
White, council member, was moved
to defend the body.
Mr.. White and Delegate Stro-
meyer, Democrat, of Anne Arundel
member OF the council and of the
Ways and Means Committee. said
after the session that Mr.. Gill was
wrong in his figures and that he
apparently made his mistake in
computing the take by counting in
increases for all clerks services.
Actually, they continued, the bill
limits increases to group of spe-
cif1c services.
The Legislative Council issue had
been developing for sometime behind
the scenes, but except for an anony-
nous leaflet attacking it as a west
pocket legislature and opposing
raising the per diem compensation of
members from $40 to $40, there was
no open evidence of the dissension
until yesterday.

Health Program Outlined.
He deplored the fact that most
people now look to the Federal Gov
ernment for the financing of many
such projects, and warned that it
is an unhealthy condition which
must be discouraged
Washington should encourage
aid and help in every way it can"
he asserted, but should not be al
lowed to become an indulgent
grandfather, called on to give a dol
lar when asked by his favorite
grandchiid ."
Marylands health program was
outlined by Gov. OConor, who en-
phasized the necessity for increased
medical and hospital services.
A great step forward in the field
of medical care has been taken re-
Gently by the State government, he
said, with enactment of a law pro-
viding for needed medical, surgical,
dental. hospital and nursing care
for those financially unable to bear
the costs.
Hospital Projects Listed.
Also projected for the near future,
he continued, is construction of
chronic disease hospitals. Plans for
two already have been completed,
one to be built at Salisbury and an
other at Hagerstown. A third, to be
located in the Baltimore area, will
be recommended to the Legislature
shortly, the Governor said.
Turning to the work of the
Health Department. he said that
Maryland is the one State in the
Union with completely organized,
professionally trained health de-
partment in every county"
Fred L. Lutes, president Of the
Silver Spring Hospital Association,
Inc, told of the history of the hos
pital organization, which was in
