Mahoney Proposes
Putting Ceiling on
Debt in Maryland
BY the Associated Press

OCEAN CITY. Md, June 49,
A ceiling on the State debt, be
yond which the Legislature could
not go without receiving the ex-
press approval of the voters"
has been proposed by George p.
Mahoney. candidate for the DEM
ocratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Mahoney, speaking here
last night at a meeting of the
Maryland Realtors Association,
said that if elected he would ap-
point a qualified group of citi-
zens to devise a formula for such
a limit and present it to the
Legislature. The formula would
have to be approved as a con-
stitutional amendment.
State Debt Scars.
The candidate said the pres
ent "sky's-the- limit" State debt
has encouraged "hasty and UNI
planned borrowing" In six
years, Mr.. Mahoney said, the
State debt has climbed 600 per
cent.
A debt ceiling, Mr.. Mahoney
said, would decrease real estate
taxes, now used to pay of the
debt, and permit ultimate aboli-
ton of the tax. He said. how
ever, that the tax could not be
abolished entirely until other
sources Of revenue were found.
"It is very likely" Mr.. Ma
honey said, that operating
economies can produce enough
savings to make it unnecessary
to levy a State property tax. and
that is the course I intend to
follow at the earliest possible
moment"
Hits Byrd Maneuver.
He took one verbal poke at
his opponent. DR.. H. c. Byrd.
Referring to DR.. Byrd'S APP
pearance at the closing of the
1853 session of the Legislature
he said: after 2 am, as the
tired legislators were bringing
their session to a close, the for
mer president of the University
of Maryland appeared on the
floor of the House of Delegates
with an amendment to the bono
bill which would have added
more than half a million dollar;
to the debt of the State Of
Maryland.
1.-The legislators rose up ir
their wrath and drove him from
the floor"

there. They said he was in
the Receiving Home. Afterwards,
she told the judge, the mother
came to Juvenile Court and was
sent to the Receiving Home but
was refused permission to see
her child.
The next day, Judge Cockrill
related, the mother again went
to the juvenile squad and
learned that, while she had been
there before, her boy had been
on the third f1odf Of police head
quarters getting fingerprinted.
Finally, Judge Cockrill quoted
the mother as saying. the boy
was brought home, released and
subjected to a torrent of dis
paraging remarks about his
father, who was in Lorton.
Judge Cockrill quoted the boy
as saying that one officer told
him, while he was in the juvenile
squad room, that they had a
machine in the back room to
break him Of lying" -,
Case No. 3.
3. A 14-year-old boy, the judge
said, was arrested by 18th
precinct police and brought to
her court, where he declared he
admitted a crime only after he
was told he would be sent to the
Receiving Home If he failed to
confess.
That is the type of intimida-
tons II hear of from the ma
jority of such cases, rather than
actual beatings," Judge Cockrill
said.
4. In another instance a Z
year-old boy was accused of set
ting fires, Judge Cockrill said. He
was held in a precinct station
from 9 am. until / pm. without
his parents being notified. Po-
lice took him home, where he
admitted he had set the fires, she
said. He was then taken back
to the station house and kept
until 3 pm. Judge Cockrill said
he told his parents he admitted
setting the fires only after police
threatened him with a he-detec-
tor test and reform school.
Other Instances.
5. Judge Cockrill said a IA
year-old boy told her he was
forced to stand against a wall
in a station house while an
officer swung at him with his
fist. But. Judge Cockrill added,
the boy ducked and the officer
smashed his fist against the
wall. ~.
6. A 15-year-old boy, the judge
continued, told her he was ar
rested because "they were out
to get me, for other things" She
said the boy told her an of11cer
hit him on the head with a
blackjack and slapped him to
get him to admit to q stack OF
complaints filed on his desk.
Judge Cockrill added that often
boys come before her and admit
several charges, but police main
tain they have admitted 10 or Is.
{ Z: In another instance a youth
told Judge Cockrill officers
called him names because Of his
race and slapped him in the
face. She quoted him as saying
officers in a precinct station used
a pick handle to punch him in
the ribs. kicked him In the shins
and when he stopped to rub
them, he was hit on the shoulder
with the handle,

Throat lines are either round
