Home Rule Studied

Legislative home rule for
Prince Georges County, Md, with
broad new powers for the county
commissioners, is proposed in a
bill under study by the area S
delegation in the General AS
sembly.
The bill would give the county
most of the Self-governing pow
ers now held by adjoining Mont
gomery County. The county
commissioners could enact leg
islation on certain specified sub
jects and adopt other prescribed
ordinances. A bitter campaign
to give the county a home-rule
charter was defeated in a refer
endum last November.

Tox Sharing Proposed

In Annapolis drums were be-
ing beaten by county legislators
in the Maryland General Assem-
bly, to line up behind a proposal
to share in State liquor taxes.
The suggestion to spread liquor
revenues around came as the
result of special taxing privileges
granted Baltimore City and
County. They got this power
under an emergency act in 1947,
which has been renewed every
two years. When Baltimore tried
to make it permanent this year,
the ball started rolling for other
counties to get the same pow

Freedmen S Expense
For Nearby Indigents
Poses FSA Problem

Questions are being raised in
Senate hearings on the 1854
Federal Security Budget as to
why Maryland should not pay
for the cost of their charity
patients treated at Freedmen's
Hospital here.
Data on this subject was re-
quested yesterday by Chairman
Thye of the Senate Subcom-
mittee in charge of the FSA
budget.
Senate officials have been adj
vised that the hospital gives
about $4,000 patient-days of
care a year for free cases, most
Of them from Maryland and
Virginia. At the usual charge
of So a day. this would run into
1881 900 year. if all cases were
paid.
100000 A Year.
The District Government. Of
flcials say. pays about 100000
a year for the care of INDECENT
city patients treated at Freed
mems. But little apparently is
paid by the adjoining States for
the care of indigents.
Charles E. Burbridge, Freed
mems superintendent, said
Maryland now is paying nothing.
He said the hospital has con-
tracts with Arlington and Fair
fax Counties in Virginia but that
last year these resulted in pay
mentS of $126.
Difficulties Cited.
There are, he said, difficulties
In getting Qualifications on resi-
dence and ability of the patient
to pay for himself. He added
that a number of cases still are
pending.
The Federal Budget Bureau,
Capitol Hill was advised, is de-
laying action. pending further
study, on a request for $4,000
for a survey of the work at
Freedmen'S as a teaching hos
pital and as community facil-
ity. The survey had been ex-
pected to lead to plans for
expansion of Freedmen's serv-
tees.
Hospital officials asked APP
proval of 100000 to continue
the program of eliminating fire
hazards and modernization of
the electric system.

Cannot Remove Baggage

Generally speaking, intent is ar
element of these crimes. The alb.
sent-minded individual who walk.
out of the cafe without paying his
bill is not criminal. 1t is necess-
arv that he intend to depart without
paying But the fact that he does
leave without paying creates a pre-
sumption that he did not intend to
pay.
Removing baggage from a hotel
is another matter If a person OBJ
tains food, drink or lodging, or Gre
dit at a hotel and then without the
hotels permission, and before pay
ing his bill, removes his baggage. or
gets someone else to do it for him,
that is enough to convict him.
Even if he intends to, and later
does pay his bill, he cannot legally
remove his baggabe first unless he
has the permission of someone in
authority at the hotel
