Montgomery Legislation
Termed forward Step

Declaring the legislation sponsored
by the Montgomery County delega-
ton at the recent session Of the
Maryland Legislature is forward
step" for the county, Mrs. Ralph A.
Wells, a member of the delegation,
said yesterday it will aid greatly in
ironing out governmental difacul-
ties in the county.
Mrs. Wells, who spoke at meet
ing of the Silver Spring Women's
Democratic Club, gave special praise
to the bill creating a county super
visor. Through this Office, she said,
the work In both the suburban areas
Of the county and the rural sections
can be co-ordinated and q lot Of
petty complaints can be eliminated.
The creation of the Office of a
county purchasing agent, establish
ment of a merit system, and num-
ber of other measures, the speaker
asserted, are the type of bills which
has made Montgomery a leader in
progressive legislation. She deplored
the fact that leaders of the Charter
Committee have asked the Governor
to veto the 5000, 900 bond authori-
zation bill and pointed out it would
mean there would be no additions
of any kind to the county school,
road, public building or park sys-
TENS for the next four years.
Mrs. Wells added that the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation had
passed a resolution authorizing is
suance Of county bonds up to a limit
of 8 per cent Of the county's tax
able basis, on $1,000, 600.

Maryland Blue Cross
Plans Prepayment
BY the Associated Press,


BALTIMORE, April &c. D. Col
man, executive director of the Mary
land Blue Cross, has announced
that the organization is making
plans for prepayment for medical
and dental services to operate In
much the same way as the present
disqualification system, for which
subscribers pay a fiat monthly rate.
Discussions of the projected ex-
pansion still are in progress between
the Blue Cross, the Maryland Den
tai Association and the Medical and
Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland,
the executive director said.
Entry into the medical service
field would involve medical deci-
sions different in nature from the
relatively simple problem as to who
need disqualification"
He added unless "the overwhelm-
ing majority of Maryland's physi-
clans are in favor of the plan, as
I believe they are" the Blue Cross
would not undertake the new serv-
ice. The basic problem OF dental
care program he declared, was one
of manpower shortage.
The basic of the medical and dem
tai care systems, which would be
independent of the Blue Cross hos
pitalization plan, would be agree
ments entered into by the Blue
Gross and participating dentists and
physicians, Mr.. Coman stated.

with the OPA" despite repeated
promises of cooperation.

anceS.

ty Liquor Board was being consid-
cred today by the Mayor and Town
Council after a council meeting last

bitions."
