vention to pick q party candi-

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 2s-The
Maryland State Senate today
had before 1t for consideration .
House-passed bill to ban trucks
on the 11-mile portion Of the
Baltimore Warrington express
way from Baltimore TO Jessup.
Two years ago the Senate let
similar bill die after House
passage.
The latest measure edged
through the House yesterday by
a $3.50 vote. just two votes more
than the constitutional major
ity. All six Prince Georges
County delegates opposed the
bill, while the six-member Mont
gomery County bloc voted solidly
for 1t.
Perry o. wilkinson, chairman
Of the Prince Georges delegation.
said today he was weighing q
plan to call for q reconsideration
Of the measure.
He and other opponents were
scanning the list Of proponents
of the bill in an effort to switch
the sympatllieS of at least two
delegates.
Meanwhile. Senator H. VIM
ship Wheatley. jr.. Democrat, Of
Prince Georges, said he is still
undecided on what stand he
would take on the measure when
it reaches the Senate floor.
He said he had been con-
tacted by both champions and
enemies Of the measure from his
county.
Both sides have sound argu-
ments." he said.
Little debate attended passage
Of the bill yesterday. Earlier
Prince Georges businessmen had
testified the ban would make o
truck route out Of the old Balti-
more boulevard by forcing the
trucks of the expressway.
On the 19-nile federally
maintained section Of the ex-
pressway, from Jessup to WASH
