7 Bills on Md. u.

For President Byrd
Seen in Measures
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, May 5.-Gov. Nc
Keldin today turned thumbs down
on two Maryland General Assem-
bly, acts which he said would give
President H. c. Byrd virtually
unlimited mastery over the state
university"
One of the measures would have
provided virtual replacement Of
the university's board of trustees
by the university regents.
The other would have trans
ferred some of the regents pow.

have given the university a much

expanding its facilities.
,RemoueS All Restraints.
In a statement on the latter,
Gov. McKeldin said he had de-
clded to veto it latter earnest
consideration"
Foremost among the reasons for
my action is that it exempts the
university from all restraint by
any board, bureau or commission
mo other institution, public or
private, that receives money from
the State. is so utterly independent
of outside authority. Moreover,
the power and control of the Presi-
dent is further enlarged by this
bill at the expense of the univer-
isity's own Board of Regents, by
transferring important functions
and responsibilities from that body
to the President.
"Serious implications"
Such vast concentration Of
power in one man with virtually
unlimited mastery over the State
University, it's important educa-
tional and other concerns, and the
administration of its multi-nAl-
lion n-dollar annual budget, has. i'm
iplications that deserve serious
study"
He noted that measure "was in
troduced late in the session and
was passed hurriedly without ade-
quate consideration either in the
committees or on the floors of the
two houses"

Same Arguments Due.
Mr.. Miller said the appeal will
be based on the same four argu-
ments presented unsuccessfully to
the ICC:
l. That the County Boards
contentious we're not considered
as required by the Administrative
Procedures Act (when ICC ap-
proved the increase9:
2. That the Commission did not
base its findings upon any stand
ard of reasonableness:
3. That the Commission did not
base its findings upon the inter-
state operations (but on both in
terstate and intrastate);
4. That the Commission failed
to give consideration to consumer
interests.
The announcements by Mr..
Dugan, an Independent, and Mr..
Chew, a Democrat, were made
during a board discussion of how
the fee of special prosecutor Oren
r. Lewis should be paid. MFR. Lewis
prosecuted the two board mem
bers for malfeasance after a grand
jury had recommended their re-
moval from Office. Both were
cleared.
Mrs. Florence Cannon, board
chairman, proposed that a letter
be written to the State Attorney
General asking whether the
county's share of Mr.. Lewis
$1,000 compensation should be
charged to the Commonwealth s
Attorneys budget or should come
from the general county fund
The State will pay half the fee.
Plan to Bill County.
Mr.. Dugan and Mr.. Chew saic
that unless the county's share
$500, is drawn from the budget OF
Commonwealth's Attorney Den
man T. Rucker, they will bill the
county for their trial costs. Mr.
Rucker, who disqualified himself
afrom prosecuting the cases, pre-
ssented information to the March
grand jury, which brought out
I presentments against the two
board members.
Mr.. Dugan has said his attor-
ney's fees exceeded $4,000, while
Mr.. Chew has made no statement
on this point.
Mr.. Cox said he will propose
that his recommendation for ap.
pointment of new committee bt
included in the boards summary
of the findings of the Police In.
vestigating Committee, appointed
a year ago.
The 900-page report of this
committee, Mr.. Cox said, shows
"the need for a thorough anc
complete investigation of all pub
lie officials of Arlington concerned
with law enforcement"
Mr.. Cox proposed that the COM
mittee have three members, two
of them lawyers. The committet

county and not to the County
Board, he said, but could requesr

Skater Gives Japan
First Postwar Title
BY the Assoeiofed Press

DAVOS, Switzerland, Feb. 10
Japan made a successful debut
in postwar international sports
competition today when Susummu
Naito carried the colors of the
Rising Sun to victory in the 500
meter race of the world speedskat-
ing championships.
The 28-year-old sportswriter fin
ished far behind in the 5,000-meter
race which was won by Hjalmar
Andersen, the defending world
champion from Norway.
Andersen's 5,000-meter victory
and his tie for fifth place in the
500 gave him the lead at the half
way mark of the two-day competi-
ton. The $500 and 0,000-meter
races will be held tomorrow.
The 29-year-old Norwegian truck
driver had low point score of
5000 points. Slightly behind with
96.120 came England's John
Cronshey who was third in the
500 and second in the 5000.
Naito's performance in the longer
race today was so poor that he
wasn't listed in the first II. He
had the distinction, at least. OF
capturing the gold medal for the
500.
Today marked the first time the
japanese have entered a world
sports event since the start of
World War II and they followed
in the trail of the Germans, their
former Axis partners. Ten days
ago the Teutons made their bow
in postwar international competi-
ton and romped off with the two
man and four-man bobsled world
titles.
