Maryland Truck Law
Is Effective Today
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE
highway patrol of the Maryland
State Roads Commission went tt
work today armed with a new sci
of weapons-stronger laws against
overloaded trucks.
The sterner measures went into
effect at midnight, and a commits
sion spokesman said the patrol
had been briefed on use of the
new regulations.
They were borne of bitter battle
in the 1851 General Assembly
where roads officials and trucking
interests tangled in one of the
most heated wrangles of the ses-
sion.
Here are some of the new reg
ulations which resulted from the
legislative fight and which go into
effect today:
l. Gross weight of any vehicle,
or combination of vehicles, is linn
tied to $1,000 pounds.
2. The degree of overlooking
will determine the penalty. The
penalty will be 2 cents a pound
if the overload is up to 5000
pounds. If it is greater than 5000
pounds, the penalty is fixed at s
cents a pound for the entire over
load.
Penalties heretofore have been
largely a matter of discretion by
the trial magistrate in each case.
In many instances, offenders were
merely warned or received sus-
pended fines.

Congress Given Bill
To Shield Witnesses
From SeIf-Implicatior
BY the A.soeiuted Press

Congress got a bill today to per-
NIT its committees to require the
witness to give testimony even
though he says 1t might incrim-
mate him.
In return, a witness so required
to testify would be given complete
immunity from prosecution for
any act concerning which he has
testified.
The measure was offered by
Chairman McCarran of the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee.
Its purpose is to allow commit
tees to get testimony when they
think it is Of sufficient Importance
to warrant a full waiver from
prosecution in return for 1t.
Present Law insufficient.
There already is a law which
says testimony given by witness
before a committee may not be
used in subsequent criminal pro-
ceedings. But the, courts repeat
edly have held this is not suffici-
emily broad to meet the fifth
amendments guarantee against
being required to give incriminat-
ing testimony.
The McCarran proposal would
rule out not only the actual testi-
mony in q criminal prosecution.
but the use of 'leads" from it
as well.
Fourteen Acquitted.
Federal courts here this year
have acquitted IA persons on con-
tempt of Congress charges in
cases where witnesses refused to
answer questions on the ground
of possible self -incrimination. The
courts said, in effect. that wit
nesses had a constitutional right
to remain mute unless Congress
gave them full immunity.

trial here refused to answer ques-
tions put to them by the House

Florida House Upho|ds
Racing Bill Veto L
By the Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June L.
Gov. Fuller Warren's veto of a
bill to ban publication of horse
race information which might aid
illegal gambling was sustained yes.
terday by the Florida House.
The House, voting Al to A, to
sustain the veto. gave a thump-
ing defeat to those who favored
overriding the Governor. The mo-
tion is override needed 81 votes.
It received only A. 49,.
Gov. Warren, who vetoed the
bill late Wednesday night, told
the House yesterday he did so
because it violated the freedom
of the press guarantees of the
Federal and State Constitutions.
The measure would have made
1t unlawful to print wall charts,
tip sheets. scratch sheets. book
making tickets or other items in
furtherance of illegal gambling.
1t also would have prevented
newspapers from publishing any
prerace information in chart form
selections. probable odds. Jockeys
and Withdrawals among other
things.
State Attorney General Rich
ard w. Erwin took immediate issue
with the Governor. Mr.. Erwin
sponsored the bill, but without
newspapers included in the ban.
The newspaper prohibitions were
tackled on by the Legislature before
passage of the Measure.
"The spurious claim the free
dom of the press is involved in
this issue is a hollow sham," Mr..
Erwin said. Freedom of the press
is fundamental, constitutionally
guaranteed. No statute can

Costello Bloc Leads
De Valera S Party in
Vote for Irish Dali
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

DUBLIN. Ireland, June L.
Prime Minister John A. Costello's
coalition maintained a slim lead
over Eamon de Valera's Fianna
Fail Party today in the elections
for control Of the Irish Republic's S
parliament Dahl.
On the basis of incomplete re-
turns, the de Valera faction was
by far the big winner-but the
i1ter-party alliance forged by the
present Premier gave his bloc a
nine-seat lead, with IA contests
still to be decided.
Distribution Of Seats.
AS the tabulation of ballots in
Wednesdays general election
moved slowly ahead, the present
governments group had taken 20
seats. De. Valera's Fianna Fail
(Soldiers Of Destiny had 81.
This was the distribution among
Costello's bloc: Fine Gael Omitted
Ireland, the Premier's party, SO;
Labor. IA; Farmers, 6; Republi-
cans, 2: independents allied. with
the coalition, IL.
After leading throughout the
count yesterday. the De Valera
Party fell behind early this morn
ing.
The election returns so far have
revealed no big swings In public
support of the rival groups. In
the Dali which was dissolved May
4, Fianna Fail had nine less seats
than the coalition.
Vote Tabulations Tedious.
The tabulation of votes was
tedious. In addition to a million
ballots. the tellers had to cope
with the republics involved system
Of proportional representation.
The final outcome may not be
known for several days.
The biggest surprise was the
weak showing put up by Foreign
Minister Sean MacBride's Re-
publican Party. Mr.. MacBride-I
son Of Republican heroine Maude
Gomez imself narrowly won re-
election 4 Dublin.
Mr.. Costello was re-electeyt
easily. So was Mr.. de Valera.
But it remained to be seen
whether the premiership would
return to New York-born De
e Valera, who after. 16 years as
Premier and three years as oppo-
sition leader is still the dominant
personality in Irish politics-at
home and abroad.
