This is q model city, planned

they started the Long Bell lurn-

Hammond Denies Byrd
Charge Of Reversal
On Maryland U. Bill
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 9.-Attor-
ney General Hall Hammond has
denie1 charge by DR.. H. c. Byrd

and called for a veto.
The measure finally was vetoed
by Gov. McKeldin. Mr.. Hammond
now wants a new bill drawn up.
Letters Sent to Legislators.
DR.. Byrd, in letters to members
OF the General Assembly, charged
that Mr.. Hammond, before three
witnesses, had promised to help
the earlier bill pass and then, in
"an about-face not easily ex-
planned" had asked for a veto.
Mr.. Hammond said yesterday
there was no about-face. He, too,
in answering DR.. Byrd's charges,
sent letters to members of the
General Assembly.
". have never stated that
I thought House Bill 681 was a
good bill; I have never pledged my
support for the bill, nor did l
ever say that I would help in it's
passage" he wrote.
Favored Objectives.
. Mr.. Hammond said he told DR.
Byrd during the legislative ses-
sion that he was "in favor of
some of the proposals and OBJ
jectives of (the bilD and that if
these objectives were expressed
and set forth in an ordinary bill
or simple enactment. rather than
a constitutional amendment" he
would work for their passage:
But the attorney general said
the bill passed contained "the
identical provisions it had had
in it as constitutional amend
ment, and inasmucl1 as I, thor
oughly disapproved of much of
the text of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment, it is impos-
Slble for me to think that the
slightest chance existed for Mr..

ably it will be something in the
