20 that would require strip mine
operators to fill in the pits they dig

dietary committee yesterday in An
napolis.
Senator Robert B. Kimble, Allie
gany County, who sponsored the
measure, said strip mines are very
unsightly conditions and passage
of this bill may save human life.
Holes in the ground may ruffle
aesthetic feelings" but in West
crn Maryland they're a necessary
part of business that creates jobs,
the committee was told by Former
Judge William c. Walsh, who rep
resented coal producers.
He told the committee that ac-
tually the few operations now
underway in Allcgany and Garrett
counties are "back in the wilder
ness and bother no one He said
strip mining foes ignore the jobs it
creates and the good it does in an
area which has been tormented by
unemployment.
Similar legislation was passed
several years ago but the Court
of Appeals held it unconstitutional

Women's Group Is
Opposed To Any
County Liquor Law

At meeting of the Womcn's
Missionary society OF Emmanuel
Lutheran church at Bittingcr, the
members went on record as unani-
mously opposed to the proposed
liquor law for this county.
There are twenty-five members
of the society with Mrs. Orval
Glotfclty as president. She said the
following conclusions were reached
10y the women:
They believe it would increase
Juvenile delinquency, with danger
that Illicit liquor would be sold to
Youngsters.
They believe there is direct re-
lation between the sale Of liquor
and beer and the relief rolls of the
county.
They believe Garrett county is
attractive as recreation area and
that the argument that we need
liquor to keep it so, is fallacy.
They believe it would do nothing
to solve the unemployment and
economic problems now facing the
county.
They believe the whole liquor
traffic is morally wrong, and
makes direct contribution to low
cring moral standards.
They believe there are many con-
structive things that should be done
for our County, and went on record
as favoring efforts to be made to
have a small factory to come to the
county.

House Group Urges
3 Pct. Reduction
In Interior Budget
Committee Also Calls for
End Of Competition With
Privote Power Industry

A 33 per cent slash in the In
terror Departments budget for
the fiscal year starting July
was recommended by the House
Appropriations Committee to-
day. The cor1nittee also urged
the department to quit COM
peting with private industry in
the field of power.
The committees bill. the Sec
ond governmental appropriation
measure to reach the House at
this session, provides $4O4, ,863,-
239. Former President Truman
last January asked for SCOT mil
lion. Secretary Mckay recently
suggested $484 million. The
recommended budget would be
almost $138 million under the
departments current fiscal year
spending.
The biggest single cut was in
the highly controversial Recla-
nation Bureau. The committee
Topped off more than $98 million,
leaving the bureau $133 million.

request.
Reclamation Changes Urged.
The overall cut of more than
80 per cent for the department
came on the heels of House pas
sage of a $451 million independ-
ent Offices appropriations bill
yesterday. The latter bill, ac-
cording to the committee, made
a 81 per cent cut in budgets of
% independent agencies and
might result in eventual econo-
mics of more than 81 billion

ban on further public housing.
The committee reported today
that the Interior Department
shoulde be able to save about
$21 million additional each year
If it reorganized the Reclama-
tion Bureau. One such move
would involve transferring the
bureaus administrative center
from Washington to Denver
