Law|or Bill Proposes
Lieutenant Governor
Sefup for Maryland
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff Correspondent

| ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-Mrs.
Kathryn j. Lawlor. freshman
Republican delegate from Mont
gomery County. has proposed to
the Maryland General Assembly
that an Office of lieutenant gov
ernor be created for Maryland.
What's more, her bill intro
duced yesterday in the house.
would prevent occurrences of the
impasse seen at the opening of
the current session when the As
sembly was hamstrung for eight
days by Democratic battle over
who was to be Senate president.
Under her measure, the lieu
tenant governor would be Senate
president. He would vote only
in case of ties. Under the pres
ent system, the Senate president
can vote at anytime.
Mrs. LaWlor's measure provides
that the Lieutenant Governor
be elected at the same time as
the Governor, every four years.
He would have to possess the
same qualifications as the Gov
ernor, but would receive a salary
of $4,000 year; $500 less than
the Governor.
Amendment Proposed.
Since the legislation proposes
to amend the Constitution it will
require a three-f1fth majority of
both houses to pass. Then it
would be submitted to a State
wide referendum in November,
1854.
Under the Constitution as it
now reads. the Senate president
becomes the Governor in the
event of the latter's death, resig-
nation or removal from office;
until the General Assembly can
meet and choose an acting Gov
ernor. The Speaker of the
House is now third in line to
fill the Governors chair and
that succession would be re-
tanned in Mrs. LaWlor's proposal.
Her bill was referred to the
House Judiciary Committee.
Mrs. Lawlor was appointed by
Gov. McKeldin to fill out the
unexpired term of Mrs. Leona
Rush, who resigned last month.
Interest Ceiling.
Another bill of interest in
Montgomery county was intro
duced yesterday on the House
side by Delegate August c.
Myers, Democrat, of Baltimore.
It would put a 2.5 per cent a
month interest ceiling on loans
up to $500.
Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward of Montgomery Circuit
COurt an faia claarGe 60 tine srar1d
jury last spring caSttgated small
loan companies as "bloodsuck-
ers."
The law now allows them to
charge three per cent a month
on loans up to $500.

Oyster Boat Ruled
Guilty Of Dredging;
| lis Crew Is Freed
NsNWU"
Sfor Sfoff CORRESPONDENT

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Jan.
ia st. Marys County trial
magistrate has ruled that oyster
boats operating on the Potomac
River can be confiscated for con-
servation law violations whether
or not the crews are guilty.
Judge Wilson H. Knight so
held in a case in which he &C
quilted Walter H. Allen. Al, Of
Colespoint, Va, of Illegal dredg-
ing but ordered his $4,000 craft
forfeited to the State.
The court also directed that
another Virginia-owned boat
charged as a dredge vessel be
impounded pending a ruling
from the State Attorney General.
In the latter case the warrant
was issued against the vessel
itself and no individual was
charged.
Plane Used in Case.
Both cases Stemmed from an
air and water ruSe executed by
officers of Maryland's tidewater
navy.
The action began December q
when the commissions airplane
piloted by Inspector Robert E.
Whipp and carrying Capt. Ches-
ter A. Cullison, commander of
the patrol boar Tiny Lou, flew
at low altitude over a dredge
f1otilla off Ragged Point in the
lower Potomac.
Both officers testified they saw
eight boats dredging, six with
hand-scrapes and two with full
power equipment. None of the
boats carried hand tongs and
most of them had oysters in
their holds, the inspector said.
Unable to surface because of
strong northwest winds, the
officers made four runs over the
fleet and listed the vessels
names or NUMBERS.
Identification Impossible.
Mr.. Allen and another boat
captain. whose name was with
held. were arrested Wednesday
when they came near the Mary
land shore off Piney Point and
began working with legal hand
tongs. Their boats were seized
and towed to an undisclosed
location.
Fisheries inspectors testified
that they could not identify any
of the men on the boats because
they wore heavy clothing and
caps as protection against the
cold. Judge knight dismissed
Allen because of this admission.
But the judge held that both
boats can legally be confiscated.

The Right Approach

Commissioner Donohue, who favors secret
relief rolls, has voted to approve bill which
would give him and his fellow Commissioners
discretionary authority to open or close public
assistance lists. In thus joining with the other
Commissioners in support Of the measure Mr..
Donohue has recognized the correctness Of the
principle that the District, not Congress, should
decide whether its welfare records should be
opened to public inspection. The principle Of
discretionary local action already has been ap
piled in other Jurisdictions. It has worked out
well, despite predictions to the contrary.
bill urged by the District Welfare Depart
ment would scrap this democratic principle in
favor of an arbitrary 'iron curtain" to be drawn
around local relief rolls by edict Of Congress.
The Citizens Advisory Council and the Comnis-
sionerS have rejected this unwise plan, and
properly so. The ultimate decision on secrecy
Is onesthat should be made by the Commission
ers, after adequate public hearings. And the
Commissioners should retain the right to alter
the policy whenever the public interest may
require change.

Foreign Service Morale

Not long ago some people were saying
that the morale of the State Departments
Foreign Service had been destroyed by the
Loyalty Review Boards adverse finding in the
case Of John Carter Vincent Those people
must have been mistaken, however for now 1t
is claimed that the morale Of the Foreign Serv--
ice is being destroyed by Senator Mccarthy and
his Investigations subcommittee. Both claims
can hardly be true unless some way has been
found to redestroy morale that has already
been destroyed.
The latest claim comes from Samuel ].
eoykin, acting chief of the departments bureau
Of security and consular affairs. He has been
accused of demoting John e. Matson, depart
ment security agent, for telling the Mccarthy
subcommittee that q report he had prepared
about q suspected Communist in the Foreign
Service has disappeared from the departments
nles. (Mr. Boykin denies the new Matson as
ignment is demotiono
Called before the subcommittee to explain
the alleged demotion of Mr. Matson, Mr.. Boykin
said: "The people called up Ito testify are just
scared to death. They're afraid Of Senator Nc
Carthy They're afraid of Mr.. Matson. They
couldn't think and they couldn't do their Jobs.
They were afraid of losing their jobs. Morale
In the Foreign Service was just non-existent
because of these hearings"
If this is the case, the morale OF the Foreign
Service must have been on the anemic side to
have been destroyed so easily. In any event.

Maryland Planning Controversy

With Maryland's Sobeloff Commission join
ing the side Of the abolitionistS, the lines are
tightly drawn for bitter battle at Annapolis
over proposed legislation to "reorganize" the
25-year-old Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission To the planning
agency and its many friends the reorganization
proposal is looked upon as a scheme to abolish
q successful, Independent planning body that
has had much to do with the orderly develop
ment Of Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties during critical period Of rapid growth. To
proponents Of the change the pending bills
would restore local control over operational
functions now exercised exclusively by the COM
mission, leaving intercounty planning in the
hands of a new Bicounty Coordination Au-
thority. It is not surprising that many citizens
of the two counties are confused over the con-
troversy, for both sides have presented strong
arguments in rash Of public statements
The bills under debate would (1) transfer
from the State-appointed Maryland-Na National
Capital Park and Planning Commission to
county agencies most of the planning and ad-
ministrative work now done by the intercounty
body; (2) set up bicounty agency, appointed
Jointly by the two counties involved, to CO.
ordinate the counties planning and to per-
form park-buying functions authorized by the
Capper- -Cramton Act. Among powers which
the budgeting of tax funds for land buying and
planning, enactment of ordinances for Zoning
and subdivision control and other land-use
supervision and regulation. Advocating this
drastic change are the Montgomery County
Council, the Prince Georges Board of Commis-
sioners, the Sobelof Commission on Admins
trative Organization Of the State, the Mont
gomery County League Of Women Voters and
other groups and individuals in favor OF "home
rule"
Opposed to the legislation in addition to
the Maryland National Capital PPC itself, are
the National Capital Planning Commission, the

and other organizations and citizens who regard

Metropolitan Area joint planning. hearing
on the bills will be held at Annapolis tomorrow.
It is doubtful that the issues at stake can be
fully explored at one hearing. The issues are
important to the future development of nearby
Maryland and Of the whole Metropolitan Area
as well. It has been suggested that the question
Is one that should be decided by all the people
at a referendum. Certainly Marylanders will
want to be sure that If any change in the exist
ing setup is made, it will further, not hamper,
regional cooperation in planning the orderly
growth of Greater Washington.
