The 59-year-old colored man was
Id a disgruntled mood yesterday

0'Conor Is Expected
To Resign Tonight in
Message 10 Assembly
BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS Md, Jan. 1.-THE
first day of the New Year brought
to Maryland today the end of Her
bert R. OConor's eight-year tenure
as Governor and the succession of
w. Preston Lane, jr., to the execu-
tive mansion.
Gov. O'Conor, apparently elected
to the United States Senate on the
basis of official returns in Novem-
ber's elections. is expected to in
clude in his address convening the
biennial session of the MARYLAND
General Assembly tonight his resig-
nation as Governor. Gov.-elect
Lane is the choice as O'Conor's sue
cessor for the seven days before his
scheduled Inauguration.
When the Assembly is called to
order at 8 pm. tonight Gov. O'Con-
ors final message as Governor will
be presented to the Legislature.
Whether it is to be delivered in
person or read to the assembled
lawmakers was a decision not yet
announced by the retiring Governor
Mr.. Lane was elected for a term
beginning January 8, and inaugura-
ton plans will be carried out on
that date, Mr.. Lanes headquarters
announced.
Many legislative problems face
the General Assembly, but chief
interest centered before it convened
on the Democratic Party's organi-
rational contest for the presidency
of the Senate and the speakership
of the House of Delegates.
OF the several contenders for the
Senate presidency Joseph R. Byrnes,
Democrat, of the Baltimore 5th
district, and L. Harold Sothoron,
Democrat, of Prince Georges, were
conceded the early edge in party
conversations preceding the after
noon caucus.
Senators Joseph M. George, Dem
ocrat, of Queen Anne, and George
w. Della, Democrat, of Baltimore
9Th, were conceded, however, to be
possible dark-horse selections.
The Senate presidency was sched-
uled to be decided first, with the
choice for the House speakership
following. Under usual geographical
allocations the Offices will be divided
between county and Baltimore City
legislators.
Unless the Senate presidency goes
to a Baltimorean, Delegates John
&c. Luber, Democrat, of Baltimore
5th, ana Albert L. Sklar, Democrat,
OF Baltimore 4th, were counted
among leading candidates for the
House speakership. Rated as top
county contenders for the post were
John E. Clark, Hartford County vet
eran, and Leroy Pumphrey. Prince
Georges Democrat.

Hunt for Rocket Warhead
And Instruments Continues
BY the Associoted Press

WHITE SANDS, N. Mex, Jan. 1.
Make no mistake about it-that
missing warhead off W. rocket
fired here December II did come
down, even if it hasn't been found,
1t. Col. Harold R. Turner of the
Ordnance Departments White Sands

There's no question but what it's
here somewhere" he said sint COM
ment on conjecture in some quarters
obviously voiced with tongue in
cheek-that the rockets nose might
still be coasting around somewhere
outside the earth's atmosphere.
Col. Turner conceded that in
tensive search so far has failed to
turn up the lost warhead, laden with
instruments to record high altitude
phenomena.
We're going to look some more" ="
he said, Just as soon as we have
our crews back from holiday leave"
He expressed the view it would be
found right in the vicinity where
the rest of the missile came down,

The new Congress also may take
final action on the protracted issue
of administrative controls over Dis
trict welfare programs.
For years the city heads and the
Welfare Board battled as to whom
should have final authority. In the
past Congress, the Commissioners
waged a hot but unsuccessful fight
to strip the Welfare Board OF all
Of its administrative powers and to
convert it into an advisory body.
If present indications prove right,
the Commissioners this year, how
ever, will indorse a move by well
fare leaders to set up the Welfare
Board in new and stronger posi-
ton, virtually autonomous, like the
Board of Education, with the ex-
ception Of budget matters.

Il believ like Jesus, that the
salt is good, but when it has lost
its power to save it is good for
nothing.
1T was corruption and emptl-
ness that characterized Jerusalem
when Jesus looked over the Holy
City. The sight of a city having
the appearance of religion only
caused the Master to break down
and weep, | doubt whether the
church has moved far from this
form of religion since the days of
Jesus.
'The church, like the salt, is
good II not only has a good pro-
gram, but the only program that
will bring peace in the world. But
this program must be taken out
of good places and extended to
areas where it is needed. In so
doing, the church will never lose
its influence because it will write
its goodness in the hearts of
men"
