Stor Stoff cerrsspenden,

OCEAN CITY, Md, Sept. g.
This resort town today became a
workshop in which 200 officials
toiled to reshape the govern
mental machinery of Maryland,s
23 counties.
Most of the officials arrived yes
terday for the start of the second
annual meeting of the State Asso-
citation Of County Commissioners.
The others checked in today at
the George Washington Hotel.
focal point Of the two-day con-
ference.
: All Of the States subdivisions
are represented, for the first time
in recent years.
In day sessions starting at 8
am, the strong new unit formed
by merger of the old Eastern and
Western Shore County Commits
sioner Associations, faced a heavy
agenda.
Speeches Listed Today.
1nterspersed with considerations
OF proposals formulated last night
at an executive meeting of the
Board Of Directors, are addresses
by Thomas c. Kelley, chairman
OF the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission: Simon So
beloff, head of the Commission on
Administrative Organization of
the State, and DR.. Harry Prather,
deputy director of the State De-
partment of Health.
Ocean City's Manager. T. Earl

this morning. District Com

Kathryn j. Lawlor, a member of
the Montgomery County Council
and a secretary-treasurer of the
association, will act as mistress of
ceremonies.
Frederick County Commissioner
U. Grant Hooper, who heads the
association, presided when discus
sions began today.
Roads Proposed Likely.
Among subjects considered at
last nights closed meeting which
may go on the floor today are
proposals to urge the State Roads
Commission to prepare q long
range program which would be
submitted to county officials. The
directors also suggested public
hearings before final approval.
The commissioners feel that
such a plan would benefit the
public by enabling an effective
tie-in of county road programs.
AS some of the county heads
see it, public knowledge of the
long range plan also would pro-
vide a strong deterrent to the
building of political roads.
Speed. Weight Limit Discussed.
Another subject discussed last
night was the possibility Of legis-
latiorl authorizing county. commits
sioners TO establish speed and
weight limits on county roads.
Other proposals.. which would
require legislation. are to be de-
bated at an association meeting
in December. just before the 1858
General Assembly convenes.
Teacher pay. construction and
other school problems will be
taken up at that time.
Looking to its own future, the
association today will consider es-
tablishment of a central Office and
employment of a full-time ex-
ecutive secretary. Such moves
should be made. some of the Of
f1cials believe, in order to provide
better liaison with county. State
and national agencies.

FROM WASHlNCTOk

This week | conferred with Sec,

yer concerning a supplement re-
quest for federal airport aid Tor
cities. This was on request OF
Mayor Lloyd Roulet. Secretary
Sawyer was not encouraging at all
about further aid to the City of
Toledo airport at this time. In a
letter he addressed to me on this
subject he stated that it was his
job to keep down expenditures in
the Commerce Department. He
stated, The Congress and the
public generally have made clear
their feeling that the expenditure
of federal funds should be dras-
tically reduced. With this / a.
gree" He further stated that
money is being spent for airport
improvement only where facili-
ties are partially completed and
where defense needs are involed." :"
He then concluded that at the
moment he has mo choice but
to say that | connot conscien-
tiously recommend the expendi-
tire of funds for new airports at
this time, and that includes the
City of Toledo" | told him that
some Ohio cities were getting
cid for their airports. His reply
was that Columbus and Canton
are getting some airport money
because their airports are needed
for defense purposes. Cincinnati,
however, is not receiving any
federal funds.
Government Building
Government departments, parti-
cularly the Post Office, are much
in need of building space. Only
two methods are available for ac.
