State legislators are both con-
cerned over the rattle-traps that
chug over Maryland's roads.
Delegates Kathryn J. Lawlor and
Gilbert Guide put an auto inspec-
ton law high on the list of bills
they want passed.
cts absolutely VITAL" Mrs.
Lawlor said. And Mr.. Guide named
that measure first when asked
which one interested him most.
Mr.. Guide said he favors a COM
Ibination inspection system sim
liar to one in Pennsylvania where
10y private garages would be the
inspection centers in rural areas
lbut State-operated centers would
be developed in urban sections.
Such combination, he believes,
would be the most economical.
Drunk Driving Tests.
Among the other bills Mr.. Guide
Is interested in is one which
would grant a selection of tests
to a defendant charged with
drunk driving.
He said the tests-already used
by a number of States-give the
lguiltless defendant a chance to
lprove he is not guilty and, on
the other side, give the police q
stronger case when the prisoner
lis really drunk.
Mr.. Guide also has been study
ling several agency reorganization
lplans along lines recommended by
the Sobeloff Commission. He
wants agencies to operate more
economically and the public be in
a better position to pin down re-
sponsibility for State actions.
Mrs. Lawlor said she wants the
Assembly to pass a new. assess
ment law, reorganize the State
Tax Commission and work out a
teachers pay bill fairer to Mont
Igomery County than the so-called
Green report.
Experienced in Politics.
Mr.. Guide has been active po-
Ilitically for some time. He has
been precinct worker, a delegate
to several State Republican Con-
ventions and is a vice president of
the Maryland Federation of
Young Republican Clubs.
Mrs. Lawlor's political expert
ence isn't as long, but she's no
beginner. She has been on the
County Council since 1850 and
was largely responsible for Or
ganizing the State Association of
County Commissioners, a group
with a lot of influence when the
i General Assembly is meeting in
Annapolis.
e Strictly speaking, the two Re-
e publicans aren't really Legislators
r yet. Their appointments aren't
effective until the first Of the
year when their successors terms
end.
