clared yesterday there was mo con-
fusion In the issuance of orders"

Mr.. Johnston, president of the

This important objective" he
said, has been very largely accom-

Sea Safety Rules
Called Obsolete

Developments In aviation, elec-
tronics, weather and ctmmunica-
tions since the beginning Of thelwar
have outmoded current safety-at-
sea regul&tions, Assistant Secretary
of State VIII r. Clayton today told
Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Mari
time Commission odlcials and ship
ping industry leaders meeting here
to consider postwar problems.
Mr.. Clayton told the conference
the Coast Guard had been desig-
mated to handle technical details
because Of its predominant interest
In safety at sea and that suggestions
should be outlined for "interna-
tional legiAation" to be presented
to an international meeting Of al
nations interested In maritime mat
ters after the European war is won.
The shipping industry provides
an outstanding example, Of the ne
cessity for international agreements,
he declared, and failure to secure
observance Of adequate safety
standards win penalize shipping in
foreign trade through higher In
surance rates.
About 100 representatives Of vari-
Gus Government armed services and
interested agencies, including the
Labor Department, Weather Bureau
and State Department, and onlcials
Of the maritime industry such Is
ship owners and operators, naval
architects. shippers, ship oflcers and
seamen will cooperate in outlining
the program, according to Vice Ad-
miral r. r. Waesche, commandant

Department Building.
Special committees will take up
technical questions ranging from
air-Sea rescue operations to safety
regulations for leading and slowing

3 Insurance Control
Bills Await Action
By Maryland Senate
ny the Associated pre.s.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Eight Leg
islative Council measures to tighten
State controls over companies and
individuals in the insurance busi-
ness, approved by the Maryland
House Of Delegates, were ready to-
day to be passed along to the Senate.
Meanwhile, the House Federal AZ
fairs Committee had before it for
consideration a resolution asking
Congress to repeal the proviso in the
Selective Service Act exempting
members Of State Legislatures from
military service.
The resolution was introduced by
Delegate William F. Stronger.
Democrat, of Anne Arundel.
Gives Revocation Power.
One of the insurance measures
passed at yesterdays House session
would give the State insurance COM
missioner power to revoke licenses
Of "any insurance broker, brokers'
solicitor, or agent or solicitor" and
would broaden the base Of justiflable
revocation of licenses to include
fraudulent dealings with insurance
companies or conviction on "any in
famous crime"
The other insurance bills before
the Senate are technical in nature.
Another House bill passed and sent
to the Senate would redefine the
term dependent child" under the
public welfare code to mean "a
needy child under the age of l8
years."
The present law lists 16 as the age
limit for children not attending
school and 10 for those in school.
Among the Is measures passed by
the Senate were those which would
require the State Roads Commission
to pay for roads and their upkeep on
grounds Of State institutions and
which would ban parking of motor
vehicles on the area between lanes
of dual highways.
The others were local In character.
Senate Gets 26 Bills.
The Senate received 26 new bills
in all, 13 Of which were prepared by
the attorney generals office and
would reorganize and unity the sys-
tenn for bonding State and county
omcials.
The House received II new bills,
one Of which would allow the State
police superintendent to flx stand
ards for employment In his depart
ment. Other bills introduced would
increase the per diem pay of Legis-
lative Council members, make ac-
ceptance of bribes by athletes pun
ishable by heavy fines and i'm
pr1sonment and establish q board
Of naturopathic examiners to con-
troll and license naturopaths.
Road Bill Strongly Opposed.
A bill to establish a roadside COM
mission which would regulate use
of lands within 200 feet of major
State highways ran into strong op-
position at q joint Senate House
Committee hearing yesterday.
Property owners from various Sec
tions of Maryland voiced objections
to the bill which has Legislative
council backing. It would set up the
commission to control building and
other developments on land directly
adjacent to highways with a view
to safety, efficiency and beautifica-
ton
Fred w. Tuemmler, director of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, who
spoke in support Of the measure,
said similar zoning measures were
in force throughout the United
States, and that the community at
large would benefit by roadside reg
ulation.
