Legislature Studies
Methods 10 Restrict
Baltimore Crime
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-A State
Senate committee today began
considering a number of pro-
posals designed to curb the rising
rate of crime in Baltimore.
The ak murder of an 89-year-
old spinster from an old Mary
land family and the 75-cent
robbery murder of a librarian
touched off the public indigna-
ton which caused the forming
of the study committee.
State Senator Hubert P. Barton
Of Baltimore. earlier this week
told the Legislature he had heard
threats of vigilante committees
to do their own policing.
Investigation Approved.
His demand for an investiga-
ton was approved and the five
man committee was formed.

judges and law enforcement
officials in Baltimore and in adj
joining Anne Arundel and Bal
timore Counties.
Police Commissioner Beverly
Ober detailed for the group the
rising crime rate in the city, but
warned that part of the in
crease is due to a better system
of keeping records on crime.
Mr.. Ober acknowledged that
the police department could
make good use of more men
than the 1900 now employed.
"Riff-raff" Blamed.
Hamilton r. Atkinson. Balti-
more County police chief who
preceded Mr.. Ober as city police
head, blamed the influx of a
stream "of riff-raff from the
Southern States" looking for in
dustrial jobs for much of the
crime problem.
States Attorney Anselm So
daro asked for an awakening
responsibility" from parents, ed
ucators, churchmen and civic
groups. particularly those Of
the colored race"
He cited statistics to show
that Negroes, who make up one
fourth of Baltimore's population,
figure in four of every five acts
of violence.
He added:
This is not necessarily a
colored problem or a juvenile
problem, but community prob
lem"
Amendments Proposed.
The States Attorney proposed
several amendments to the GRIM
inal laws.
Judge Herman M. Moser sug-
gested stripping the Governor of
parole authority, and Circuit
Judge Benjamin Michaelson Of
Anne Arundel County, said the
State needs better juvenile de-
tention institutions.
Anne Arundel and Baltimore
counties reported crime in their
areas was not increasing in
alarming proportions.

Maryland Assembly
Gets Bill 10 Permit
Clustering in Potomac
By a stoff Correspondent Of The s.o,


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 81. The
controversial proposal to open
the Potomac River to oyster
farming by Marylanders was be-
fore the General Assembly again
today.
Three inland delegates yes
terday introduced in the House
slightly different version of the
complicated and comprehensive
measure passed by the Senate in
1851, but knocked down in the
lower chamber.
In addition to opening up the
Potomac River for the first time
to the leasing of oyster lands by
the State to private individuals,
the bill is designed to encourage
further leasing in Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries.
Aids Co-operatives.
The bill also would make It
easier for watermen to form CO.
operatives to grow and market
oysters, according to one of the
sponsors, Delegate Samuel Hop
kins. Republican, of Baltimore
City. The other two sponsors
are Delegates A. Gordon Boone
Democrat, of Baltimore County,
and Edward r. Milanicz, DEM
ocrat, of Baltimore City. 3a
Mr.. Hopkins said the bills
purpose is ito further a twofold
system of increasing both public
and private planting"
This would be done chiefly by
making seed oysters easier for
private planters to buy. The
T1deWater Fisheries Commission
would have to honor orders be-
low 500 bushels before any others
and they could be bought on four
years credit.
The commission, which now
spends $250,OOO a year to grow
oysters. would be prohibited from
planting more than two-thirds
OF its seed oysters, up to a maxi
mum of 600, 1000 bushels year,
on public rocks in any county
waters. The rest would be avail
able to private planters at cost,
The State is now the only avail
able source of seed oysters. It
planted 100000 bushels of baby
oysters last year.
Limited on Leasing.
The State is allowed to lease
only barren oyster bottoms, de-
fined as areas which contain an
average of less than one oyster
per square yard in the bay and
less than two oysters per yard
in the tributaries.
Under the bill, the present fee
of 81 per acre for barren bottom
would continue in Chesapeake
Bay. 1t would be a penny year
for the first five years in the
Potomac and 81 an acre after
that.
The minimum and maximum
acreage permitted to be leased
by an individual would be raised
by the legislation. The minimum
in the bay would be so, instead
of the present five acres, and five
instead of one elsewhere. The
maximum in the dredging areas
would drop from 500 to $50 in
the bay and 60 elsewhere. Part
ners would be allowed up to 1000
acres in dredging areas and $50
elsewhere and co-operativeS 1900
and 500.
Oyster farming on the Po-
tomac would be restricted to per-
sons who have been residents of
Maryland for at least year.
Maryland has ownership of the
Potomac under a 1875 compact
for all purposes except conserva-
ton.

LORD,
TEACH
US TO
PRAY"

PkAY
Long before Christ came upon
the earth. men were resorting
to prayer for divine help.
The people Of Israel. we
know. realized the power of
prayer and prayed often in APP
peal for Gods blessing in graft
tude for His favors. Almost
every one instinctively feels the
need for prayer in time Of
danger and emergency.
Many people. unfortunately.
do not know how to pray prop
.erly. Even the Apostles. watch
ing as Jesus prayed. became
conscious for the first time Of
the mighty power of a proper
prayer. They could see on the
Savior's face as He prayed. the
reflection of a great inner peace
and refreshment.
So they said to Jesus: Lord.
teach us to pray"
And Christ replied: Pray
thus Our Father Who art
in heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy
will be done. on earth as it is
in heaven.
Give US this day our daily
bread.
And forgive us our debts as
we also forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into tempta-
ton. but deliver us from evil"
The words Of the Lords
Prayer" are enshrined. of
course, in the hearts of Chris
tians everywhere. And yet
Christ, in giving us this most
beautiful prayer of all, did not
tell us to Pray this" He said:
PRAY thus.
He meant that we must pray
with the realization that God
is truly our Father that
His Name is to be revered as
no other !. that His Will is
to be done here and hereafter
that we are to be truly
sorry for our injustices to
others, and forgive those who
injure us and that we are
to avoid sin.
People who question the
value of prayer usually say they
have tried it and 1t didn't
work" They mean by this. Of
course. that God did not grant
the things for which they
prayed. A better understanding
of proper prayer would make
clear to them that petition for
Gods favor is only one kind
of prayer =. and that God
does not grant every favor
which we may want or think
we need.
Proper prayer is not merely
petition for blessings. but.
also an expression of our love.
our devotion and our gratitude
to God :. a declaration of
acceptance of God as our
Father a submission Of our
wishes and our will to the
wishes and the Will of God.
Every day in every land
and every tongue a mighty
chorus of prayer rises from the
hearts of Catholics to honor
Cod-to implore His blessing
to pay Him grateful thanks.
For the Church teaches and
Catholics know that there
is no power in the hands of
men so great as the power of
prayer.
The most famous collection
of prayers known to history is
the Book of Psalms +. prayers
in which God Himself teaches
us clearly the dispositions with
which we should pray.
To help you in your prayers.
we will send you beautifully
