Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question 1:

In his diary George Washington
wrote "did attend the Races in
Maryland, did take Dinner with
the Gentlemen of the Maryland
Jockey Club" Washington bred
"Blooded Horses" at Mt. Vernon,
was an enthusiastic rider and fox
hunter. He always attended Mary
land racing, counted "the Gentle
men of the Maryland Jockey
Club" his friends.
Answer to Question 2:
Your tax would be bigger if
Maryland did not have high class
racing at Pimlico because your
state towns" the pari-mutuel con-
cessions at the Maryland race
courses and collects over one mil
lion dollars a year. Only high class
racing will sustain this state reve-
nue.. The higher class the racing,
the greater its benefits. Cheap rae
ing produces neither good racing
nor good taxes. The quality of
Maryland racing most certainly
affects your personal taxes.

tions in the world to offer ga Stake

Questions And Answers On The New
Motor Law, Compiled By Commissioner

A great many questions have been
received by the Department of Mo.
tor Vehicles concerning the new
Financial Responsibility Law, effec-
tive on January l, 1916. In order
to clarity several different points,
Commissioner w. Lee Elgin has COM
piled the following group of quess
tions and answers which may serve
to satisfy a question in your mind.
/. Q.-Should I report an auto
mobile accident that l may have
outside of Maryland to the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles here in
Maryland?
A. No, but you will probably find
that the State in which you had the
accident will have a similar require
ment for reporting accidents and
that their state will work reciprocal
ly with Maryland and subsequently
the Maryland law will be brought to
bear on you.
2. Q.-Do | have to report an &C
cident where the damages involved
is only to my automobile or to the
car I am driving, but is in excess of
$4,000?
A. Such an accident would have
to be reported, However, if the dam
age is all to your own property or
to the automobile you are driving,
you will not be requested to post
any security.
3. Off l have an accident
which is not my fault involving
$4,000 damage to another car, must
l post $4,000 cash with the Com
missioner? If I am unable to do so,
what happens?
A. You must post your $4,000
with the Commissioner. If you do
not, your license will be suspended
within so days from the date of the
accident.
4. Q.-Do you mean that under
this law I could be driving my car
at a normal rate of speed and in
proper manner and some other driv-
er could pass boulevard stop sign,
go through red light, be exceed
ing the speed limit and be intoxi-
Gated, hit my car and damage his
own to the extent of $4,000 and
then if l can't post the $4,000, |
would lose my right to drive? Isn't
this terrible hardship to work on
an innocent party?
A. Under such circumstances you
would lose your right to drive unless
the other driver agreed to settle
your damages, or you post the neces-
sary security. This law does not give
the Commissioner the right to Judge
who is wrong; all he does is require
each party to put security for the
others damages. This may seem a
hardship, but you could have very
easily protected yourself by pur-
Liability and Property In
If you elect to operate your
automobile without protection for
the public, then this law will work
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1945-11-01

against you severely, but you have
the choice before an accident oc-
ours to comply with the intent of
this new statue.
5. Off my license is suspended
and automobile tags suspended
would it be all right to sell the car
to my wife and then let her get the
tags in her name and operate the
care for me?
A. The Maryland Law reads that
a person transferring or selling a
motor vehicle after suspension of
registration for the purpose of de-
feating the intent of the law shall,
on conviction, be fined not less than
$4,000 nor more than 100000.

of Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Cottingham,
808 Hamilton boulevard, by a lucky
chance, are once again together, this
time In the Hawaiian Islands. The
last time they were together was in
Florida.
Ensign Cottingham was recently
transferred to the Pacific area, be-
ing stationed at the Pacific Fleet
Radar Center, at Camp Catlin A
few days later his brother was also
transferred to the Pacific and, much
to his surprise and joy, also found
himself based at Camp Catlin and
billeted just a few barracks away
from the Ensign. And that's not all,
for David, who is an officer on the
u. S, S. Wasatch, is going to try and
get brother James assigned to his
ship also.
Ensign Cottingham, who aspires
to be writer when discharged from
the Navy, doesn't find the Hawaiian
climate conducive to creative
thought. Answering his mothers
query as to how his writing was
coming along, he replied: Gosh! |
just can't get down to brass tacks
(the Navy term for writing). Despite
what has been written about the

Conferees Approve
Limited Revamping
Powers for Truman
Reorganization Bill
Exemptine II Agencies
Awaits Action Thursday
By the Associated Press.


Legislation giving the Presi-
dent limited authority to reor-
ganize the executive branch of
Government was approved today
by Senate and House conferees.
The conference measure, product
of three weeks of study, exempts II
agencies wholly or partially from
reorganization. The Senate had
barred revamping of Il, while the
House had given full exemption or
preferred status to eight.
The bill now awaits floor action,
first by the House, then the Senate
Senator Murdoch, Democrat, of
Utah, acting chairman of the Sen
ate conferees. declared the powers
granted the President are ample,
adequate and generous" Repre-
sentative Manasco, Democrat, of
Alabama. head of House conferees,
said he thought President Truman
would be well pleased"
1T is not all that he requested"
Senator Murdoch said, but his ef-
forts in reorganization will not be
very much impeded by restrictive
provisions of the bill
Mr.. Manasco said he probably
will cali up the conference report
for a vote Thursday.
AS rewritten in conference the
bill rules out any reorganization OF
the civil functions of the Army
Engineers. This phase of the en-
gineers' work includes such projects
as flood control.
Six other agencies are fully ex-
'empted, except that functions,
agencies and personnel can be
transferred to them. Those are the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Federal Trade Commission, Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, Ma
tional Mediation Board, National
Railroad Adjustment Board and
Railroad Retirement Board.
Separate reorganiza ton plans
would have to be submitted for each
of four agencies: The Federal Com
munications Commission, Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp, United
States Tariff Commission and Vet
Grams Administration.
The revised bill lifted restrictions
on reorganization which the Senate
had voted for the Maritime Com
mission, the Federal Power Commits
sion, and the Federal Land Bank
System, and removes the preferred
status the House gave the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
Airy reorganization plan submitted
by the President to Congress would
become effective in 60 days unless
both houses disapproved.
