Republicans in the Maryland

selecting Sen. Robert Kimble, of
Allegany county to another term
as minority floor leader. He has
held the post since 1947.
On the House side, the Republi-
cans had more difficulty. 1t took
almost an hour to choose Del. Ar
thur II. Green, Of Garrett county
as minority leader for another
term. He had been opposed by Del.
J. Douglas Bradshaw, a newcomer
from Montgomery county.
Prior to the Republican caucus,
the State Central committee gave

monious session" outlining his

County Covered In
Ten-Inch Snowfall

Garrett county was covered
under eight to ten inches of snow
as the result of two separate
storms, but warming temperatures
had caused rain and sleet to in
crease the hazards Of the worst
period Of the winter.
State and county road crews
have been kept at their Jobs al
most constantly in blowing and
cindering, keeping state and sec
ondary highways open for traffic
and school buses.
Roads were clear Of drifts but
were icy and dangerous.
Five or more inches fell over the
weekend, and another fast-falling
snow began Tuesday evening about
$50. In "A short time -four inches
had fallen and it continued at a
slower pace until about another
inch was added.
Ralph Weber at the government
weather station south Of town said
this morning that the water con-
tent in the snow was unusually
heavy. Up to the present time,
however, there had not been enough

PicketS Ask For
No Bread Delivery
Here on Wednesday

A new schedule of deliveries by
four Allegany county bakeries be-
gan in Garrett county yesterday.
No deliveries were made on that
day, a regulation provided under
terms of a contract with local 453,
Transfers Union (AFL) and the
bakeries.
The repercussion occurred in this
area when it was learned that
picketts had been stationed at the
West Virginia line at Hutton, in
an attempt to keep bread trucks
from West Virginia from coming
over here to deliver their bread on
Wednesday.
Learning in advance of the plan
the kingwood company notified
Sheriff Paul w. Fisher, who was
at the scene when the trucks ar
rived. Fisher said the pickcts were
not unruly, merely asked the West
Virginia drivers not to deliver any
bread that day. Their request was
refused and the trucks continued.
Just what will happen next We'd
nesday is not known. Fisher said
the Preston county company has
no desire to stop delivering bread
here on Wednesdays. Just what re-
action there was among local Nor
chants or the consumers them
selves could not be learned at this
stage of the proceedings.
The local bakery was not af-
fcctcd, nor were deliveries to the
super market here.

Came For A Sled Ride

a Florida family spent the holi-
days in Mt. Lake Park, just so
the children-and maybe the par
could frolic in the snow and
go sled riding. Nature did not dis
appoint them, for there was plenty
Of snow for them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmie Jarboe and
two children have now returned to
their home in Neptune Beach, Fla,
after having spent a week at the
Park. Mr.. Jarboe is grandson of
the late Mrs. Frank Arnold and
lived at the Park for a number of
years. 1t was the first shedding
party for the children.

Demos Can't Agree
On Senate Leader
Republicans Are In Drivers
Seat AS fractional Fight Is
Taken To Floor of State
Senate

Bitter fractional politics snarled
organization of the Maryland Gen
eral Assembly as Senate Demo-
Gratis found themselves unable to
agree on a president for the 1858
session.
A group of nine Democrats lined
up behind Sen. C. Ferdinand Sybert
Of Howard county to GUST Sen.
George w. Della, of Baltimore, for
the top job in the Senate. Della
also had nine supporters.
The evenly divided Democratic
factions brought their tussle for
control to the floor last night where
standoff developed with the Re
publicans being pushed into the
drivers scat.
1t was the first time in history
Of the Maryland General Assembly
the party in power had been I'M
able to agree in advance on leader
ship Of the Senate.
The long delayed attempt to or
game the opening session OF the
Senate came at 8 p. m. last night
and got no farther than a deadlock
over election Of a temporary presi-
dent.
Sen. Kim0lc, who conceivaDly
could emerge the permanent prcsi-
dent even though his party is in
the minority, got 10 Republican
votes and he abstained. The two
Democratic candidates, Sen. Dip
pei, Of Baltimore's Third district,
and Sen. Preston, of Baltimore's
fifth, each got eight votes. They
each abstained, too.
Andrew Schaab, secretary serv-
ing as temporary chairman, ruled
majority Of those voting, IA in
this case, was necessary for cleo
ton. The Republicans promptly
moved to recess.
The Democratic scrap is over
the permanent presidency, held for
two sessions by Della, and the two
most important committee posts,
Finance and Judiciary. The nine
Senators lined up on each side
would not bulge after five hours
of caucusing Tuesday night and
most of yesterday. They finally de-
cided to fight it out in the open
on the floor. Let the chips fall
where they may" said Della. "Wc'll
just see what happens" He added
that he "refused to make any deals
with the Republicans. If four Dem
ocrats want to join the Republi-
cans and make one Of them prcsi-
dent, that's the way it will be-
The delay in organizing the Sen
ate fouled up the General Assem-
bly, completely. The House was
ready and waiting and so was Gov.
McKeldin. The governor has a
State Of the State" message ready
to deliver whenever the two cham
bers can hold joint session.

Oakland Wants
More Say On
Local Matters
Four Resolutions Passed At
Regular Council Meeting
On Monday

The Mayor and Town Council of
Oakland passed four resolutions
Monday night at the regular Janu-
airy session, calculated to give
more local say in local government,
if their recommendation are ac-
copied.
They also made suggestions
along this line to the county mem
bers of the General Assembly at a
special council meeting on Deem
Der 20.
One resolution passed Monday
night favored home rule which en-
dorsed the recommendations of the
State Committee on Administra-
1 tive organization, which would
grant greater authority for local
self-government, and relieve the
burden of the legislative on pure
ly local legislation.
Another resolution opposed any
diversion of Sherbow funds for
highways or other purposes, main
tanning that the funds are not
gifts to municipalities but moneys
belonging to them and collected BY
the state as their agent" The
resolution termed the present al
location Essential to sound oper-
alton of municipal government"
Another sought to regulate traf-
fic control within municipal corpo-
rate limits where the state law
now takes precedence over NUM-
cipalities. The resolution encour-
ages an amendment to the code Of
public laws, to authorize incorpo-
rated towns to regulate traffic on
streets. At present all fines cX-
ceeding 81 go to the state, it was
stated.
The fourth resolution endorsed
the principles Of the report on
state and local hscai relations Of

mended modification of Stato-locaI
