|Lofstrand Plans Bill
To Extend Home Rule
To All Of Maryland
BY J. B. Zotmon
Star Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 16.-All cities
and incorporated towns in Mary.
land would be given home-rul.
powers broad enough to enac
practically any local laws the,
want under legislation being draft.
ed by Delegate Anders r. Lof.
strand. jr.. Republican. of Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Lofstrand, House Minority
Leader. said his measure would
e a Mt municipalities authority
similar to that held by the Mont
gomery County Council.
The Council. set up under a
charter adopted by the voters in
"a 1948 referendum, meets in May
of each year to pass countrywide
laws. 1t has no jurisdiction over
incorporated towns, however.
Previously, Montgomery, like the
% other Maryland counties, had
to depend on the General Assem-
bly, to pass it's laws.
Similar proposals were presented
at the 1947 and 1949 sessions by
former Senator Edward Storm,
Democrat, Of Frederick County,
but were defeated.
But Mr.. Lofstrand is confident
his bill will succeed.
Meanwhile the House Ways and
Means Committee yesterday gave
tentative approval to a bill re-
quiring semiannual inspection of
motor vehicles at privately op-
Grated garages.
The bill, sponsors of which in
clude Mr.. Lofstrand, originally
provided for 81 charge for each
inspection. but was amended to
reduce the fee to so cents.
Among those urging favorable
action was j. c. Darrell, manager
Of the Automobile Trade Associa-
tion of Maryland. He read a let
ter from George E. Keneipp, Dis
trict Traffic Director, in which
Mr.. Keneipp referred to the gen
orally poor condition of Maryland
vehicles travelling on District high
ways" Mr.. Keneipp added:
I'm some isolated cases Metro
politan Police have escorted Mary
land drivers to the District line
and told them not to return"
In another legislative develop
ment, Senate Majority Leader
Louis L. Goldstein, Democrat, OF
Calvert County, charged yesterday
there are millions of dollars in
special funds lying around" while
the State is struggling to fine
money to balance its $160 million
budget.
I'm not going to raise taxes
on anything until we look into
these special funds" he told the
Senate Finance Committee, OF
which he is chairman.

trainees, one in the Institute of

other in psychological warfare.
There are about 10 men in the two
groups.
Enrollments Continue.
The Foreign Service School also
may institute summertime ac-
celeration, an official said. AT
present only a limited program OF
evening classes is offered in the
school.
Mobilization has not yet made
any significant dent in enroll
ments in area universities, a sur
vey shows. Maryland today re-
ported a 3.9 per cent drop since
fall, ascribing it partly to the
draft and partly to completion ot
GI-bill courses by veterans. But
at least two other universities re.
ported additional veterans en-.
rolling to beat the expiration o.
the CT benefits in June, and mos
officials said no big manpowel
drain is expected before fall.
All the colleges are anxious tt
help draftablc students and those
in the Reserves to get as mucl
education as possible before leav'
ing, however. This lies behind th'
moves to revive acceleration.
2 Programs Continued.
George Washington and Amer
lean Universities have never
dropped the acceleration program.
they began during the war. except
for that at the CIV Medica
School. They are not compulsory
however. Students at these two
institutions now are showing in
creased interest in taking the sum.

Reserve Officer Training Corp
units of the Army and Air Force
will help maintain part of thu
enrolment of several of the uni
versities, particularly Maryland
and Georgetown. Two of the in
stitutions have applications il
for new reserve units, and thes'
are expected to be acted on soon.

Revived; Catholic u,
Maryland Moy Follow

Wartime acceleration will be re-
vived at Georgetown University
this summer, and it is also a pos
sibility at two other area univer-
sites, it was learned today.
Georgetown's College of Arts
and Sciences has announced that
an eight-week acceleration course
will be compulsory for most under
graduated this summer. The sum-
mer course will start July S.
officials of Catholic University
will meet next Tuesday to consider
revival of summer acceleration
there. At Maryland University, a
top official said the university is
"ready to go ahead" with accel-
Grafton as soon as the mobiliza-
ton makes it appear advisable
this summer if necessary.
To Garry Half Credit.
The Georgetown course will
carry just half a SemeSter'S S credit,
instead of the full credit given
during World War II acceleration
But it will speed up the college
course to little over three years
instead of the customary four.
Present juniors at Georgetown
will not be required to accelerate,
Dean Brian McGrath, S. j.,
announced.
Georgetown this month enrolled
its first mid-term freshman class
since the war. The 80 new STU
dents helped to offset slight
enrolment decline which, how
ever, officials did not connect
with mobilization.
The university's Foreign Service
School also has just begun courses

ting efforts" for District repre-
sentation in Congress after home
rule is achieved.
Other Movements Sidestepped.
His proposal sidestepped move
ments here to get either a limited
form of home rule or non-voting
representation in Congress. The
group turned down support of
anything that simply savors of
setting up the ballot box" and
favored working for full local
self-government.

the Senate District Committee
and a vice president of the con-
ference, said Senator Kefauver
