tuberculosis Hospital
Need Established

The need for q proposed $3.4
million tuberculosis hospital On
the District General Hospital
grounds has abeen established, "
Commissioner Renah r. Camalier
said last night.
Construction Of the 3OO-bed
unit for which Congress has al
ready appropriated funds. was
delayed BY the Commissioners
last year when it was revealed
that waiting lists Of tuberculosis
patients had been dwindling. At
that time. Commissioners SAM
uel Spencer and Louis w. Prem
tiss questioned the need for the
building.
But q conference Of medical,
public health and engineering
experts last week has now con-
firned the need. Mr.. Camalier
said ON the Report to the Peo-
pie" program over WWDC.
Health Department Director
Daniel Seckinger also has re-
affirmed hts original request for
construction Of the tuberculosis
unit. The proposed structure
would be an addition TO existing
buildings at the hospital.

fusedly in circles for a moment

called in vain.
We were heartbroken. Buddy

Maryland Senate
Gets Bill 10 Change
State Election Law
sy o Star stufF Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Jan. Is
The bill to recodify the States
election laws viii be given .
double going-over in the Mary
land State Senate, beginning
next week.
Up to this point the bill-two
years in preparation-hasn' re-
ceived . detailed study by
legislators, according to Senate
President Louis Goldstein.
The I39-page measure was
intended to take the dead wood
and archaic language out Of
much-amended Article 50 Of the
State Constitution, which runs
to more than 200 pages.
Press Scores Bill.
Provisions Of the bill affecting
newspapers yesterday drew the
fire Of the Maryland Press AS
sociation, which charged 1t
.treads indiscriminateiy on the,
constitutional rights OF free
speech and free press"
The press association said
that. under the measure, can
didates could buy radio and
television time to air their views.
but newspapers would be told
to publish candidates material
free and without labelling the
material advertising.
Mr.. Goldstein said these pro-
visions certainly need clarity
ing" and insisted that the au-
thors didn't intend 70 impose
such restrictions. Mr.. Goldstein
Is q publisher Of two weeklies IN
Calvert County.
The bill, he emphasized. was
forwarded to the General AS
sembly by the Legislative Coun-
Gil without recommends ton,
partly because the council had
not had enough time to follow
through q study Of its pro-
visions.
The bin was proposed in the
1853 session Of the legislature.
which appointed q special elec-
tion-laws committee. headed by
Senator Omar d. Crothers. DEM
ocrat. OF Cecil County.
Work Reassigned.
Senator Crothers died In 1858.
The work was then assigned to
Senator Edward Turner. Demo-
crat, Of Queen Anne County, who
unsuccessfuliy carnpaigned for
Congress before the expiration Of
his Senate term.
When the proposed draft came
before the Legislative Council
last year, the council decided to
pass 1t along for Legislative &C.
ton this year to avoid . two
year delay IN modernizing elec-
tia laws.
