HyottsviIIe Council
Denies Free Speech,
COP Candidate Says

shifted into nigh gear IN three
widely separated areas of the State
today.
In Hyattsville, Edwin A. Glenn
Republican candidate for the 5th
district House seat of Representative
Sasscer, Democrat, charged an anti
sound truck ordinance abridged his
right of free speech.
Democrats invaded a Republican
stronghold in Western Maryland last
night when Candidates w. Preston
Lane for Governor, Gov. O'Conor
for the Senate, James ]. Lacy for
controller and Arch Macdonald for
the House, delivered radio addresses
from Frederick.
In Baltimore. D. John Markey, Re-
publican candidate for the Senate,
said last night: For IA years this
country has been under the complete
and unrestricted domination of a
political theology which we once
called the New Deal and now may
well be termed the double deal"
In connection with the Hyattsville
Councils action barring use of sound
trucks, Mr.. Glenn said:
st want the people of this COM
munity and the country to know
that this council and the Mayor
used these tactics to abridge
the right of free speech and the use
of this equipment for the political
purposes for which I intended to
use it."
Mr.. Glenn said he presented his
application to the council Monday
night and he had made five at
tempts to obtain a permit.
Mayor E. Murray Cover of Hy-
attsville denied all of Mr.. Glenns
charges.
Nuisance Ordinance Cited.
Neither Mr.. Glenn nor any rep
resentative for him appeared be-
fore u.s." Mr.. Cover said. I'VE al
ready had a nuisance ordinance and
when the matter came before us
Monday we decided that since sound
trucks were not specifically men
toned we would amend the ordi-
nance to prohibit them.
This amendment was unani-
mously carried by vote of both
Democratic and Republican men,
bers of the council. We operate a
nonpartisan government here"
Mr.. Lane declared in Frederick
sharply rising costs have endan-
gered the States postwar construc-
tion program and that this was a
problem to be faced by the next
State administration.
Some S19O00,000 was originally
estimated as cost of the program,
but now it appears the price of con-
struction will exceed s40,000,000, he
said.
Nevertheless, the next administra-
ton must formulate and adopt a
long-range fiscal policy for roads
construction and inaugurate i'm
provements in the States educa-.
tional system, he said.
Mr.. Markey asked the favorite
question of Republicans these days,
Had enough?"
Annapolis Rally Tonight.
Mr. Markey and other COP can
didates are touring Anne Arundel
County today and this evening will
appear at rally in Annapolis.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Markey was under
fire from his Democratic rival, Gov.
O'Conor, who questioned the form
er's qualifications for Senator be-
cause, he said, Mr. Markey lacked
experience in business adninistra-
ton, Government financing and in
legislation.
AS for himself, the Chief Execu-
tive added that "alone among the
Governors of the country today, I
have had the responsibility of ad-
ministering the States affairs dur
ing the days of peace prior to Pearl
Harbor, all during the critical
months of the war and likewise dur
ing the postwar period"
Gov. O'Conor, Mr.. Markey, Mr..
Lane and Mayor McKeldin, COP
candidate for Governor, will get
together on the same platform for
the first time Thursday night at a
meeting sponsored by the Mary
land League of Women Voters.
Meanwhile, officials of the Mary
land CIO said they would refrain
from public Endorsement of either
party's major candidates, but would
interest themselves" and carry the
CLOS own campaign into the
shops"
No mass meetings will be held, a
CIO spokesman said, because this
would mean getting "only a few
when We can reach thousands
through the shops"
The labor group met last night in
Baltimore for what one of them
termed "a little pep meeting to urge
getting out the vote" A life-size por-
trait of Mr.. Lane dominated the hall
leading to the meeting place in CIO
headquarters.
