In Senate Probe Of
Maryland Crime
BY the Associated Pres,

! ANNAPOLIS. June /. Gov.
McKeldin has urged Senate crime
investigators to hold public hear
lings in Maryland as quickly as
possible.
He suggested probing for hook
lups with outside crime syndicates

ltation.
Gov. McKeldin issued a special
statement yesterday after the Leg
Iislative Council annuonced it
would supplement Federal in
veStigation of the narcotics traffic
lin Maryland.
O'Conor Gives Endorsement.
Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland. gave hearty indorse-
ment to the State-level probe.
He and two other investigators
for the Senate Crime Committee
IQuizzed prisoners at the House of
Correction this week and re-
ported evidence of widespread use
|of dope in the State and "the
seeming ease with which it can
be obtained" :.
Gov. McKeldin said sit is re-
assuring" to have the Senate COM

this month he said he preferred a
Federal probe to one by a State
commission.
Wants Wider Testimony.
Marylanders will want more
than the testimony Of the in
mates of the House Of Correction. I"
Gov. McKeldin said.
The public is eager to learn
about the use of drugs by juve-
niles. he added, and to clear up
these questions:
Whether the source and head
quarters" of the drug trade is in
Maryland or elsewhere, and
whether law inforcement officers
are involved in dope traffic or
any other rackets.
"It is to be hoped therefore
that Senator O'Conor and his
committee will move into open
hearings as soon as possible so
that the public may be fully
informed" the Governor said.

Mrs. Eileen Lowell charged TO-
day that her husband, pastor of
the Wesley Methodist Church,
once wrote her love letters SO
filthy and ugly" that she had to
conceal them under her mattress
before burning them.
Resuming the stand under cross
examination in her District Court
divorce trial the 39-year-old wife
of the Rev. DR.. Stanley Lowell
said the letters were written to
her while she was on a trip to
Savannah in the spring Of 1946
while her husband was in Deia-
ware.
"They were very filthy letters. !"
she told Judge T. Alan Colds
borough They were ugly let
ters. They were presumably love
letters but were concerned only
with the physical part of love-"
Describing how she hid them
under her mattress to prevent
their being read and later burned
them in the backyard of the room
ing house where she was staying,
Mrs. Lowell declared that they
were all sex and not love. =.
To me they didn't spell love as
we find it in st. Paul" The wit
ness did not explain her Biblical
reference.
Both Seek Custody.
The testimony highlighted to-
days courtroom session in which
Mrs. Lowell seeks a limited di-
vorce from her husband on the
grounds of cruelty. DR.. Lowell,
in turn. is arguing that his wife
deserted him. Both seek custody
of their three young children.
The name of "Dottie Ranck"
figured in the case again today.
Mrs. Lowell previously had identi-
fed ''Dottie" as minister's wife
with whom her husband had had
illicit relations, Today Mrs. Lowell
testified that Dottie had tele-
phoned her at the parsonage of
the church, asking to speak to her
husband.

Half Of Stores
Fail 10 Produce
Charts Of Prices
Law Is Scrutinized
To Determine Who
Obtains Exemptions

The District Office of Price
Sterilization said today that al
most half Of the local retail stores
due to file pricing charts before
midnight last night failed to do so.
Whether they are in violation Of
the law, however, appeared to be
an open question for the moment.
More than 1900 stores had been
expected to file, but only TAO sub
mitted the charts.
Under the law, stores covered
by CPR-7 can't lawfully sell their
goods today if they haven't filed
the charts.
An OPS spokesman said that Of
the total who filed, 100 were not
required to file and did so only
because they were sent the regu-
lations through an error. Among
the 100 are such establishments
as shoe repair shops and dress
makers.
Possible Exemptions.
Thus, while possibly $50 retail
stores are apparently breaking the
law, they may not be because of
amendment 5 to CPR-7 which was
added over last week end. This
amendment set up exemptions for
some smaller stores, basing the
Exemptions on the gross business
in such items as shoes. clothing.
notions, dry goods.
The OPS said it was possible
the $50 delinquents come under
the exemptions.
In any case, the problem fac.
ing District Price Director Vim
cent A. Holmes now is to determine
which stores should have filed the
pricing charts.
This is expected to be a COM
plicated job The enforcement
section of the local Office has only
10 agents. To check up on the
delinquents, they will have to go
to. visit the stores which appear
to come under CPR-7 and check
records to see if the store legally
is exempt.
Injunction Possible.
The cases of those found in vio-
llation. and who fail to adjust the
differences, will be referred to the
National Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton and if adjustments don't oc-
cur then, to the Attorney General
for action.
The ultimate punishment would
be an injunction preventing the
store from selling anything until
the regulations had been met.
Establishments not covered by
ICPR-7, or some other special Or
der, are still under the general
price freeze.
Other OPS headlines coming up
include:
i June 11-Kosher beef retailers
must post ceiling prices in their
stores June 15-service trades
such as garages. beauty shops.
barber shops, parking lots. etc..
must post ceiling prices: June 18-

Insurance Firms
Plan 4O% Rise
On Auto Liability
go Companies File
Rute Boost June II
On Injury Policies

About 80 insurance companies
are expected to raise District auto
mobile personal injury liability
rates 40 per cent June II under
a schedule filed with the District
Insurance Department.
The increases, asked by the
National Bureau of Casualty Un-
derwriterS, are now under investi-
CATION and apparently will be ap-
proved as justified by increases
in accident claims and higher
operating costs.
The member companies in the
National Bureau write large
share of the District liability in
surance in competition with about
IS other companies.
Although property damage and
bodily injury features are sold in
the same liability policy. it was
only on the latter that the ma
tional bureau sought increases.
All Types Affected.
The higher rates will affect both
private passenger and commercial
vehicle insurance, Miller o. Stout,
deputy insurance superintendent,
said.
Other insurance companies, act
ing independently of the national
bureau, have not indicated wheth-
er they will ask similar increases.
Here is an example of how the
new passenger-car rates will COM
pare with present rates on pol
icies offering $1,000 protection
against injuring one person, and
$4,000 against injuring two or
more:
Glass Where car is not used
for business purposes and no driv-
er under Is years is involved.
Present rate. $19; new rate, $27.
Class 2-Car is used both in and
out of business, by a driver under
IS years. Present rate, $31; new
rate, $44.
Class 3-Car is used in and out
of business, with no qualification
on drivers age. Present rate.
SGT; new rate, $38.
The rates for commercial vehi-
cles, now ranging from $27 to
$146, now will range from $38
to $1s3.
Figures Presented.
The insurance companies Of
fered figures aimed to show that
during the year ending December
81. 1850. the, average cost of
claims reached $452, compared
with 1929 for the preceding year.
They also said the average
number of claims paid each
month rose from 112 to 119 per
81 in premiums.
The loss ratio between premi-
ums earned and losses incurred
during the insurance year of
1948-9 was listed as 76.4 per cent
for passenger car policies and
85.5 per cent for commercial We
hicles.
Insurance department spokes-
men said they considered a So
per cent loss ratio fair profit
margin for the insurance COM
panies.
Blame Inflation's Effects. r
The National Bureau blamed be.
lated effects of the inf1ationary
spiral. more accidents and higher
operating costs for the increases.
Speaking of the inf1ationary
trend, it said. "The time lag be-
tween the price level rises of con-
sumner goods and auto claim costs
is attributed in part to the long
periods of time involved in the
final settlement of many liability
claims, particularly in bodily in
jury coverage."
Hospital costs, medical prices
and the effect of rising costs on
the amount of damages claimed
by injured parties, reach their
peak later than items of material
goods in the general price struc-
ture," the bureau said.

On Drug PeddIers

The Narcotics Bureau will con-

sons of unsound mind"
Mr.. Tennyson spoke to members
of the Junior Chamber of Com

He emphasized, however, that
some care should be provided for
the drug addicts.

are like an infectious disease" he
declared. lone addict, through

He said the Bureau of Narcotics
believes the Federal hospitals at

answer to the problem of drug
addicts. He urged State. county
and municipal governments to take
up the care of addicts.
