Hearing Expected 70
Draw 300 Tomorrow
BY a Staff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 5.-About
300 persons are expected to at
tend hearing at 3 pm. tomor-
row before the House Judiciary
Committee on a bill to exempt
Montgomery County from provisions
Of the Lindsay Law.
The law, enacted at the 1945 ses-
sion of the Legislature. prohibits the
nonpartisan election of a county
council in any county having a
charter form Of government.
Anders r. Lofstrand, Jr., chair
man of the Montgomery County
delegation, which introduced the
measure, said representatives Of the
County Charter Committee. the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee for the county and county civic
organizations have indicated they
would attend.
A similar measure has been in
troduced in the Senate by Roy Tasco
Davis, member of the Republican
delegation. 1t has been referred to
a special committee headed by Sem
ator Davis and including Senators
L. Harold Sothoron, Democrat, of
Prince Georges County, and Ed
ward D. Storm, Democrat, of Fred
erick County.
Senator Davis said his committee
has been invited by Delegate Ber-
nard S. Melnicove, Democrat, of the
4th Baltimore District, chairman of
the House Judiciary Committee, to
attend the hearing.
Aim of the bill, according to Mr..
Lofstrand, is to permit Montgom-
cry County residents to decide for
themselves whether they favor the
nonpartisan election of a county
council, If such a provision is in
cluded' in proposed charter for the
county.
The County Charter Committee
now is holding public hearings to
obtain the views of residents con-
cerning provisions of a charter, to
be made public May 5.
Mr.. Lofstrand said tomorrow's
hearing is In contrast with the pro-
cedure followed in the enactment of
the Lindsay Law two years ago. At
that time, he said, no hearings were
held and the bill was "sneaked
through" in the closing days of the
session.

Members of Congress who want
to know where the wind (non-po-
liticaD is blowing can tell at a
glance without going outside the
Capitol.
In the House and Senate lobbies
are complete weather maps which
not only show what Is happening
back home but also help to make
each member his own meteorologist.
Every morning two Weather Bu-
reau employees, armed with paints,
brushes and synoptic reports, paint
the picture of the day along with
a few predictions.
This las been going on since 1912.
Unlike the weather itself, there
hasn't been much talk about the
Capitol climate charts but a lot
has been done about them. Sem
ators and Representatives study the
big wall maps for a variety of rea-
sons and, according to Robert T.
Jones who is in charge of the
Weather Bureaus Division of Syn
optic Reports and Forecasts, many
of them have a keen weather eye.

It is not merely curiosity or local
pride that causes members to con-
suit the data. Aviation, agricul-
tural, and industrial pursuits and
legislative proposals sometimes have
a direct and immediate relation to
weather conditions or tren d S
throughout the country, Mr.. Jones
explained.
The maps provide temperature
readings at 100 stations in all parts
of the Nation, as well as the amount
OF rainfall or snow, wind direction,

A front" is roughly defined as
the theoretical atmosphere line
where one type of air stops and
another starts. $50

Maryland Senate Vote
Due Today on Potomac
Fishing Commission
BY tho Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-Another
step toward a Oman interstate COM
mission which might some day settle
the oyster war between Virginia and
Maryland was taken in the State
Senate yesterday.
The Committee on Chesapeake
Bay and Tributaries gave its approv-
al to a resolution which would name
three Marylanders to a joint COM
mission TO take up matters dealing
with fishing in the Potomac River.
The Senate adopted the favorable
report and is scheduled to vote on
the resolution today.
Any action on the commission,
however. would not prevent passage
of a Senate-approved bill which
would allow Maryland courts to try
Virginians accused if illegal oyster
ing.
Bill May be Passed.
Since 1885, the Virginians have
been tried in their own courts, even
when arrested by Maryland officials.
The apparent plan of the Mary
land General Assembly-althoug
there was no official comment to
that effect-would be to pass the
resolution for a joint commission,
but also approve the penalty bill,
possibly about the same time.
Meanwhile, the Senate received a
bill which would allow dredging of
oysters, something which Maryland
does not permit and which has
been in part, at the root Of the con-
troversy between the States over
Potomac oystering.
Senator Harry r. Phoebus, Repub-
lican of Somerset, always an advo-
cate of permission to dredge oysters,
submitted the bill.
Virginia, whose Gov. Tuck has
threatened to ignore any Maryland
legislation calling for punishment
of Virginians In Maryland courts,
already has adopted a resolution to
name its half of the six-man COM
mission.

such action at an informal discus
sion Of the proposal yesterday. The
issue was raised in q letter the

partment was presented yesterday

The letter making the request,
which was forwarded by DR.. v. L.
Ellicott, county health officer, was
taken under advisement by the
commissioners. r. Barnard Welsh,
counsel to the board, pointed out
that he did not believe the commits
sioners had authority to grant such
an increase.
It was pointed out In the request
that increased living costs had made
the salaries now paid the county
health workers inadequate.
A resolution offered by Mr..
Youngblood, commissioner from the
5th suburban district, embracing
Takoma Park and Silver Spring
asking that $4,000 be transferred
from miscellaneous funds for road
maintenance in the district was
passed.
MIR. Youngblood explained that
when he assumed Office the road
fund for the district had a $28, ,O0G
deficit. He said that all but $4,000
of the funds granted would 60 te
make up the deficit.
Aid Boy Hurt I'm Blast.

commissioners stating that they
would contribute personally to the
fund being raised to buy q special
automobile for Robert E. Jones, 49,
Iyear-old Richard Montgomery High

erty between Colesville and Layhill.

a private at the Bethesda police sta
ton, was accepted by the board.
Earl Seek was removed from the
