at Florida fishing, rounding out the
program.
The President drove to the Air
Transport Command Terminal in
Washington to board his plane i'm
mediately after appearing before a
joint session of Congress to urge a
loan of $4OO 100000 and the assign
ment of military advisers to Greece
and Turkey.
The Sacred Cow landed at Boca
Chica Airport, which is about 20
minutes by car from Key West, and
the Chief Executive was greeted
there by Capt. Saunders, Capt. H. N.
Cooper, commandant of the naval
base, and other dignitaries.
Although it was after dark when
the presidential cavalcade reached
Key West, it seemed that every one
of the towns $4,000 inhabitants had
turned out to welcome him. Mr.
Truman received solid ovation
from the time his car crossed the
city limits until it entered the base.
There, all personnel rendered honors.
While the Presidents intimates
say that Mr.. Truman is in "tip-top
physical shape" they point out that
he, in common with other members
of the party on the crowded trip to
Mexico City and Waco last week, is
tired, and that it was desirable for
him to take a few days away from
his desk.
He decided on the brief holiday
here, when the turbulent Middle
Eastern situation caused cancella-
tion of a projected 15-day trip into
the Caribbean.

Maryland Senate Bill
Asks Diversion Ban
On Highway Funds
By J. B. Zotmon
Sior S,off Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 13.-Legisla-
ton to prohibit diversion of gaso-
line tax and motor vehicle license
fees from highway use was before
the General Assembly today.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment was offered in the Senate last
night by Senator Stromberg, Demo-
crat, of Howard County. A referen-
dunn would be held in 1948.
The measure permits administra-
ton and statutory refunds, expenses
for enforcement Of traffic laws and
payment of obligations incurred in
building and repair of highways or
bridges.
All other purposes for which the
revenues have been expended in
the past would be barred.
Intentions Act Repeal Killed.
The perennial bill to repeal the
Declarations of Intentions Act was
killed as result of House action
yesterday, which precludes any pos
sibility of enactment of similar
measure the Senate may adopt.
The act requires new residents of
the State to declare their intentions
to vote at least one year before they
become eligible to cast their ballots.
The House sent to the Senate q
bill to set up seven-member COM
mission to eliminate pollution in
Maryland streams.
Use of that rare parliamentary
device, the "clincher," marked the
House action in killing the declara-
tions of intentions repeater.
r. Duncan Clark, Republican, of
Montgomery County said the present
law disenfranch1ses a large group
in his county because of its techni-
cal requirements.
"All I ask" he declared, "is that
the bill come before the House for
proper consideration"
Motion Carried, 53 to Al.
A roll call vote was taken and
the motion was carried, SO to At.
The anti-pollution bill would pro-
hibit the discharge into streams OF
any material injurious to fish and
wild life.
1t would give the proposed COM
mission all enforcement powers on
pollution matters except those deal
ing with public health. The latter
would remain under the State
Health Department.
The commission could recommend
additional controls where present
ones are believed inadequate ano
would cooperate with neighborine
States in anti-pollution work.
Violatcrs of the law would be
subject to a maximum fine OF $500
or 80 days in jail, or both.
Later, the House adopted an un.

favorable committee report on q bill
to submit to the voters proposed
constitutional amendment to make
Maryland juries in criminal cases
judges only of the facts presented.
At present, juries in such cases are
judges of the law as well as of the
facts.
Among delegates urging adoption
of the report was Leroy Pumphrey,
Democrat, of Prince Georges Coun-
ty, House majority leader.
Final action on the controversial
bill to exempt Montgomery County
from provisions of the Lindsay Law,
scheduled to come before the House
yesterday, was held up until today
because the measure had not been
printed.
The Lindsay Law prohibits nom
partisan elections of County
Council in any county having a
charter form of government.
Among bills introduced in the
House was one by Mr.. Clark to in
crease the Chevy Chase fire tax
from Is to a maximum of Is cents
per 500 to establish a retirement
and benefit plan for paid employees
of the Chevy Chase Fire Depart
ment.

American Indian names again are
getting Congressional attention,
Senator Bushfield, Republican, of
South Dakota, added a new one yes
terday-John Lone Dog.
The South Dakotan introduced a
bill to give title to certain lands IN
Bennett County, S. D., to this In
dian.
Earlier this week. Senator Ecton,
Republican, of Montana, offered a
bill to give title to lands in the
Crow Indian Reservation of Mon
tana to John Takes Gun.
One of the bills passed by the 10th
Congress was for the financial bene-
fit Of an Indian named Winnie Left
