Others profess not to under

They and others. no matter
how long they have been away
from their original homes and
perhaps never expect to return,
still believe they are in closer
touch with the political situations
there than in Maryland and Vir-

The Federal employe who owns
his home in Maryland and Vir-

registering and voting sooner or
later. The same cannot be said
Of the far larger number who live
IN apartment developments or
rent homes. Many apparently
consider themselves as transients,
as indeed many are.

with civil service regulations and
knew they would not ''be sticking

+MckeIdin Would Put
10 Negroes in Special
Course 10 Avoid Suit
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 23.-Gov
McKeldin believes Negro boys
should be admitted to the ad-
vanced course at a Baltimore high
school rather than provoke court
fight.
His attitude on the matter was
learned last night when his Office
released the text Of letter ad-
dressed to Furman Templeton
executive director of the Baltimore
Urban League. who had written
for Gov. McKeldin's opinion.
10 Apply for Course.
The Negro youths have applied
for admission to Baltimore Poly
technic Institute in the so-calleo
"a course" an advanced cur
riculum for those preparing tC
go to college. The special course
is not offered at other high
schools.
Baltimore's laws require Segre-
cation for white and Negro pupils
but to maintain it the city must
provide equal facilities as required
by the Supreme Court.
Gov. McKeldin's letter said "It
is conceded, I believe, that the
facilities which are available in
Baltimore City for Negro students
are not equivalent to those at
Polytechnic Institute.
Issue Beyond Dispute"
He added the legal situation was
beyond dispute" and hoped the
school board would not provoke
a court test Ito compel it to do
what it should do voluntarily and
graciously."
The board has been working on
arrangements to start an "A
course" for Negroes at Douglass
High School.
The school board has called a
meeting for September 2 to decide
what course of action is to be fol-
lowed.

traffic either by late spring or
early next summer, a spokesman
for the Maryland State Roads
Commission announced today.

tions director, said the bridge

Il it is necessary to spend addi-
tional money to provide tempo
Tary approaches to it.
y The permanent approaches
won't be ready for two years.
The bridge itself actually won't
be fully completed until spring.
Mr.. johnson declared. Staff en-
gineers connected with the project
had said it would be ready by
December.
Built in Three Stages.
Mr.. johnson explained that the
bridge was being built in three
stages and said the contractor
for the second portion, that in
yolving concrete pouring and
guard railings, had been given 1870
days to complete it. This por-
ton began last February 18,

put traffic on the bridge" Mr..
johnson asserted.
He said that the agency would
try to follow the pattern of the
projected permanent approaches

existing roads to work up to the
bridge. He added the commits

do it as economically as possible.

15-year State road construction
program to be submitted to the
Maryland Legislative Council next

If this plan is adopted" Mr..

Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Welsh

A groundless fear Of losing their
Federal civil service quota status
keeps thousands Of Virginia and
Maryland residents from register
ing and voting in those States.
That is only one reason why the
ratio of potential voters to actual
voters there has been even lower
than the poor national percentage
Of 5l1a per cent in the 1948 presi-
dental election.
But it is an important factor
in the nearby counties Of Airing
ton and Fairfax in Virginia and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
lin Maryland. The electorate pic
ture would appear in a better light
in those areas if so many Federal
employees were not "afraid" te
register and vote there.
Government civil service EN-.
lployes living in Maryland an6
Virginia have variety Of motives
for maintaining voting residences
lin States from which they origin
ally came, perhaps years ago
They have a perfectly legal right
Ito do so. Undoubtedly a big pro-
portion actively participates ir
elections by absentee ballot.
What Regulations Provide.
But the unfortunate thing. In
the opinion, of officials and
organizations in close touch, with
voting trends, is that so many Of
those people mistakenly fear that
III they register and vote in Vir-
Iginia or Maryland they will nc
longer be included in the Federal
civil service quotas Of the States
from which they came.
Civil Service Commission regu-
Ilations on apportionment and
residence specifically provide that
such registration and voting does
not affect q persons quota status
while he has continuing employ
ment with the Government. II he
resigned from Government service
but returned later he would be
subject anew to the quota. But as
long as he stayed in the civil
service system he would not have
to be apprehensive about voting
lin Virginia or Maryland.
While authoritative estimates
ARE unavailable, the total Of
Maryland and Virginia residents
lin that category is ''unquestion-
ABLY in the thousands" according
ito League Of Women Voters
experts.
Local election officials also agree
that, as a matter of convenience
If nothing else, several thousand
Federal employees probably would
vote in Maryland and Virginia
except for some needless fear of

lice standing.
