Excessive speed figured in
almost half of the traffic deaths

The city's traffic took SO lives
during the year. Breaking the
speed limit, or travelling too fast
for road conditions, was a factor
in 90 of the deaths.
Drivers who broke the speed
limit caused 10 Of these fatali-
ties. The other 10 resulted from
violations where the motorist
was within the limit, but still
travelling too rapidly for traffic
conditions. These offenses in
cluded colliding, passing stand
ing streetcars and failing to yield
the right of way.
Officials emphasize that IS
miles an hour may be considered
an unreasonable speed under un-
favorable road conditions.

ern Shore drifted their weighted
nylon nets in deep holes to catch
the schools of dormant rock,
A feet of trucks stood by to
haul the catch to market.
Catch May Run 10 Tons.
Frank Leech, treasurer of the
protective association. said about
5000 pounds had already been
trucked away. Some observers
estimated the haul might run
as high as 10 tons.
Reports circulated that the
catch was SO heavy that fish

Doyle Kendall of Deale, an
other official of the protective

Await Budget
Plans for s.
$265 Million Slated
In McKeldin Progrom
Due Wednesday
By .bs Asseeiesed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. THE
Maryland legislature viii be
handed the big job of its 90-day
session Wednesday-Gov. Nc
Keldin's proposed budget for the
fiscal year starting July /.
The total amount to be ex-
pended by State agencies is ex-
pected to run more than $265
million, another new high. Mary
land taxpayers probably will be
asked to come up with $50 mil
lion more than last year.
The only alternative for the
Legislature, according to Gov.
McKeldin, is to provide less serv-
ice for such things as schools,
welfare and health.
The Governor has said he will
propose getting the extra money
from taxes on sales and income.
He estimates a so per cent in
crease in each will raise what's
needed.
Legislators undoubtedly will
toy with other proposals since
many of them are politically
fearful of raising the sales tax
in particular.
The two finance committees
will start their tedious task Of
going through the budget de-
partment by department week
from tomorrow. From then on it
will be their principal occupa-
ton
The budget Work is starting
week later than usual. Because
he is starting a new term, Gov.
McKeldin had a right to delay
submitting it until 80 days after
he was inaugurated, instead Of
a month after the Legislature
convened January 4.
Auto Inspection is Issue.
The main topics of hearings
this week are compulsory motor
vehicle inspection, comic books.
a Baltimore arena and the State
Roads Commission. ..
A subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Is meeting this
afternoon with representatives
of Pennsylvania and Delaware to
hear how compulsory auto in
spection works in their States.
The Maryland Legislature is
weighing a proposal to have the
State lease buildings and make
the inspections once a year. Dell
aware has a similar system,
while Pennsylvania licenses pri-
vate garages to make the inspec-
tions.
Maryland gave up the private
garage, method in 1887 after 10

| A Move to keep comic books
depicting almost any kind Of
crime out of the hands of chill
dren under 18 will be discussed
by the House Judiciary Commit
tee tomorrow. The burden of
banning the books will be on the
vendors.
To Study Arena Plan.
The second proposal for estab-
lishment of a quasi-municipal
body to operate an arena in
Baltimore will be gone over by
the city delegation Wednesday.
1t is proposed to establish an
authority to sell bonds privately
to raise the money to build the
arena. After the arena is clear of
debt it is supposed to become the
property of Baltimore.
The Senate Finance COM
mittee also will take up Wednes-
day several bills relating to the
State Roads Commission, q
popular topic this session.
The most important one calls
for an investigation of the COM
missions operations.
Some said they felt it is justi-
fled when Gov. McKeldin in
effect disagreed last week with
the commissions arguments that
it couldn't get along for another
year with higher license tag
fees. The Governor signed the
| postponement on the basis Of
research by his personal staff
after the commission had argued
against the delay before the
Legislature.

ferred to a speech made last

which he said:

pearing before our committee

''he adopted the most cutting
smear in referring to his plans
to investigate the security pro-
gram" with the Fifth Amend
ment" remark.
Mr. Hyde, speaking over Radio
Station WRC, went on to defend
the administrations security
program declaring:
sOf course, in any program in
volving loyalty or security and
covering almost two and a half
million employees, there are bound
to be some instances Of unfair
treatment, just as there are some
cases In our courts where q jury
fands an innocent man guilty &
event Too Far"
However, the Senator went
too far when he followed his
Fifth Amendment civil service
commissioner remark with this
statement: My friends, 1t is q
deplorable thing to consider.
when loyal employees of the Unit
ed States Government. the great
est government Of the greatest
country on the face of the earth,
after years of sincere, honest
and devoted service. can be sum-
marily dismissed entirely without
cause or reason from their means
