Atty.-General's
Opinion Elates
Md. Dixiecrats

Maryland States Rights Demo-
Gratis are elated that they will
have an opportunity to vote for
their candidates, Governor J.
Strom Thurmond Of South Caro-
lima and Governor Fielding L.
Wright of Miss. in the forthcom-
ing general election on November
2 by merely writing the two
words "Thurmond" and wright"
on their ballots.
This decision, after weeks Of
contention and litigation In the
Courts, was formed on Monday
when Attorney-General Hall Ham
mond ruled that the system Of
writing in the names Of all eight
electors for the States Rights
candidates was burdensome where
paper ballots Gre used and physi-
cally impossible where voting
machines are employed.
Chairman +. Stewart Vaughn
last week attacked Gov. Lane and
Senator Willard f. Tydings for the
failure Of his party to get on the
ballot saying It would cut It's ex-
pected vote by more than half"

clubs and business men of the
town heard Congressman j. Glenn
Beall, member of the powerful

complishing the project.

pard, Vinson Peter, Louis M.
Leimbach, Mrs. Rowan Erb, Mrs.
S. Merhle Haines.
The Governor promised to take
the matter up with the State
Roads Commission as soon as pos
sible. The proposed route would
carry traffic northwest of the main
street in Rockville, and re-enter
240 west of the congested corner
of Washington Street and Mont
gomery Avenue.
Both the Governor and the Con-
gresham seemed aware that Rock
vile was the victim Of circum-
stances-that the traffic problem
here is created for the most part
by out-of-county and out-of-State
cars.

liquor control and education will
still be controlled from Annapolis
