Measure 10 Remove
Restrictions on Press
In Maryland Killed
By the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.-The
Maryland Senate has decided that
the Federal and State constitu-
tions contain all necessary guar
antees for freedom of the press. y
BY a It'll vote, the Senators
killed a bill yesterday which was
designed to prevent Maryland
courts from adopting or keeping
rules tending to restrict press
freedom.
Senate President Byrnes left
the rostrum to take a leading
part in the fight against the bill
1t was sponsored by Senator
P. G. Stromberg, Democrat. of
Howard County. publisher of a
chain of county newspapers and
a member of the Maryland Press
Association.
The association went on record
some weeks ago in opposition to
the suggested extension of rule
904 of the Supreme Bench of Bal
timore to the rest of the State.
The bill was the result.
Rule 904 forbids, among other
things, publication of statements
made by an accused after his
arrest.
Four radio stations and James
P. Connolly. a radio news COM
mentator, were fined recently for
violating the rule. The contempt
charges grew out of their reports
of a Baltimore murder case. All
appealed from the sentences.
The defendant in the murder
case, Eugene H. James. colored,
81, was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged.
In opening the long debate on
the bill. Senator Stromberg de-
clared the measure has only one
purpose-to tell the people of
Maryland that their representa-
tives will not stand idly by while
fundamental liberties are being
undermined"
Senator ByrneS contended that
the freedom of the press is already
amply assured by the Constitu-
ton.
Senator Louis Goldstein, Demo-
crat. of Calvert County said, in
support of Senator Stromberg's
bill, that with Washington papers
coming to Baltimore by the
thousands. people could still read
news that Baltimore papers are
not allowed to print because of
rule 904.

Mr.. Marshall was reappointed
after the council amended a city
ordinance to make possible imme-
diate appointments when sudden
vacancies exist.
Councilman Bendheim, who
voted against the amendment,
said it was being passed to val
idate a specific violation of the
ordinance"
Councilman Roy Bragg also
voted against the amendment.
Councilman John w. Tulloch,
who originally opposed dismissing
Mr.. Colasanto and appointing Mr..
Marshall. last night voted to
amend the ordinance.
On recommendation of the
Finance Committee the Council
voted Mr.. Colasanto one months
salary. The committee said Mr..
Colasanto had not taken a vaca-
ton during the Is months he was
in Office.
Mayor. William T. Wilkins an
nounced he would give each coun-
Gilman a list of nine proposed
members for seven-man charter
commission.
On recommendation of Mayor
Wilkins. the City Manager was in
structed to give most city employees
Saturdays off during the summer
months. City offices now are open
a half day on Saturdays.

Time OF ONSIS
Lack of Revenue to Curt0i
1850 Storm Sewer Program
If some streets m

If some streets must be paved
Immediately. the District will have
to do that work without being able
to replace the sewers as well. 1t
may then be necessary. within a
matter of months. to tear the
streets up again to replace sewers
that break down.
The alternative left the District
by the House is to leave many
streets, now in need of paving, as
they are.
Sanitation Hard Hit.
The Sanitation Division also is
hard hit by the budget cuts and
the failure of Congress, so far. to
provide new revenue. The House
cut out of the Sanitation Divi-
sion's $3,609,801 budget 100000
that had been earmarked for re-
placement of trash and garbage
trucks. This was part of the over
all $l97, ,199 reduction.
This cut will prevent the diyi-
sion from buying any new trucks
in fiscal 1850. when some OF the
vehicles they we're to supplant are
kept operating at q great loss.
The House also eliminated $685.
900 that was to have bought two
new types of snow removal equip
ment so that Washington might
never be immobilized by heavy
snowfall. A complete $4,000
trash collection crew also was
eliminated from the 1850 budget.
In cutting the Sanitation budg-
ct, the House referred to the
"austere conditions of District
finances but did nothing to cor
rect them.

Request for Gaming Probe
By q stoff Correspondent Of The Sior

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 23.-Gov.
Lane said today he would turn
over to Prince Georges County
authorities any request for State

activities in the county.
He made the statement when
informed that James j. Laughlin.

nection with a county grand jury

I'VE have made it policy not
to interfere in county policies. p"
the Governor declared.
He added he would take a diff
ferent attitude if such a request
were made by the States attorney
or any other county official.
Earlier, Mr.. Laughlin had writ

Time Of Crisis
By Jerry O'Leory, Jr.

Few storm water or relief sewers
will be laid. and no Wornout
sewers will be replaced in Wash
ington for a year after July l,
unless Congress provides the Dis
trict with new revenues to make
possible restoration of 1850 budget
cuts.
: When the House killed the 2
per cent sales tax last week. after
cutting the Sewer Divisions ap-
preparation from S4,135.000 to
Is2,538,3 800, it forced this situation
lon the District:
Many Easements and streets
may be flooded because only a
few additional relief sewers can
be built.
Some storm sewers, built as
long ago as 1870, may fail at any
moment.
Many streets will not be paved,
because little money is available
l. to install sewers in advance OF
paving.
Costs Passed Along.
The price OF many new homes
may rise, because little money is
provided to meet the District S
share of sewer construction assess
ments. This means builders will
have TO pay the entire cost OF
sewer installation. probably pass
ing that cost along to the pur-
chaser.
This dangerous situation is the
result of the capital outlay cut
that left only $1,355.000 in the
budget for construction Work-a
cut of more than half of what
the Commissioners sought.
The House killed S296,000 that
was intended for badly needed
storm water sewers, $250,000 that
was intended for construction.
assessment and permit work;
S125,000 for relief sewers, 5000, 700
for sewer construction in advance
of paving and $4,000 for replace
ment of sewers.
Another $175.0OO was stricken
from the budget at the Districts S
own request, because it was found
that low bids were being submitted
for work on the Sewage Treatment
plant.
Fund Importance Shown.
Importance of the Districts
assessment fund is indicated by
the fact that $450.000 was appro-
priated for this purpose in the
fiscal year 1949. The Commits
sioners had asked the same
amount for fiscal 1850.
Curtailment of the program for
laying sewers in advance of paving
will affect motorists and business
men, as we'll as the Districts ex-
'chequer and the sewer replace
ment schedule. Some streets on
the Highway Departments paving
schedule are badly in need of paw
ing, and the sewers beneath them
are as old as 100 years.
