Maryland Urged
To Probe Activity
OF Bank LOBBYIST
BY the Asso-,oted Pres.

BALTIMORE. April 10.-The
attorney general has been asked
to investigate lobbying activities
OF Joseph M. Wyatt, South
Baltimore Democratic leader in
the Maryland Legislature.
Attorney Lyman Pressman. a
frequent critic of political or
CARNATIONS and leaders, made
the request yesterday.
He said the difference between
$4,000 paid Mr.. Wyatt last year
for his services by Baltimore s
mutual savings banks and the
$4,000 the banks paid him this
year appears odd.
Mr.. FRESHMAN argued that the
$4,000 was "payoff" for a 1858
General Assembly act reducing
a special tax on deposits at
mutual savings banks. He said
Mr.. Wyatt was paid only $4,000
this year because there was no
legislation particularly favorable
to the banks.
The secretary of States office
has also reported it is turning
over this years lobbyist reports
to the attorney general to let
him determine their legality.
About half Of them have been
questioned.

bill to allow the United States

should be tried in adult courts.
No Objection to Rover.
Judge Laws said he would

added that attorneys who follow
him in that Office might be of
the type who would not exercise
good judgment.
Judge Laws agreed with Chair

chance to be heard before a de-
cision is made on whether a case
is to be tried in adult courts.
Defense attorneys also should
be heard" he declared.
