'Pumphrey Faces Figh'
For Floor Leadership
In Maryland House
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. A struggle
to wrest the majority floor leader
ship from Delegate Leroy Pumphrey
Democrat, of Prince Georges County
Is in prospect when Democratic
members of the Maryland House OF
Delegates meet in caucus here tn
morrow.
Delegate John c. Luber, Demo.
crat, of Baltimore, says he will def.
nitely' try to regain the Leadership
he relinquished to Mr.. Pumphrey
two years ago. Several others have
been mentioned as alternatives.
The caucus is slated for pm.
six hours before Gov. Lane make.
the speech of welcome that will oper
the Legislature.
Mr.. Humphrey has shown no indi.
cation to give up the chairmanshir
of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, post that includes the floor
leadership. He won the job after
factional wrangling early in the 1947
regular session.
Luber Claims City Backing.
Mr.. Luber claims to have "a ma
jority of the city delegation" behino
him, as well as boosters in "every
county"
Another city man, Delegate jerome
Robinson OF Baltimore's fourth dis.
trict, also has been mentioned in the
last few days and has made it cleal
that he is available for the post.
Others who have been suggested
as possibilities include A. Gordon
Boone, Baltimore County; John w
Chaires, Calvert County. and Myror
l.. Bloom, Washington County.
A final decision will probably wait
until the Legislature settles dowr
to business on Thursday, but the
caucus may we'll see some initia
skirmishes.
May Lose Craftsmanship.
A victory for Mr.. Robinson might
cost Delegate Bernard S. Melnicove
his craftsmanship of the House
Judiciary Committee. He headed
the group last year, but he comes
from the same district as Mr.. Rob-
inson and the House does not usual
ly assign two top posts to men from
the same area.
Louis j. O'Donnell, assistant tx
Gov. Lane. said the executives well
coming speech would take about q
minutes.
It consists of 159 typewriter
pages, but the Governor will hit
only the high points orally. Printed
texts will be distributed to the law.
makers for leisurely reading.
