Gets Bill 10 Change
State Election Law
nxe sla, s,aft cerrs.pondsnl

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 15.--
The bill to recodify the States
election laws will be given q
double going lover In the Mary
land State Senate, beginning
next week.
Up to this point the bill-two
years In preparation-hasn't re-
ceiyed a detailed study" by
legislators, according to Senate
President Louis Goldstein.
The I3s-page measure was
intended to take the dead wood
and archaic language out OF
much-amended Article SO 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 It
threads indiscriminately on the
constitutional rights Of free
speech and free press"
The press assosiation 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 to impose
such restrictions. Mr.. Goldstein
Is a publisher Of two weeklies in
Calvert County.
The bill, he emphasized. was
forwarded to the General AS
sembly by the Legislative Cotif1-
Gil without recommendation,
partly because the council had
not had enough time to follow
through a study of its pro-
visions.
The bill was proposed In the
1858 session Of the legislature.
which appointed q special elec-
tion-laWs committee. headed BY
Senator Omar D. Crothers, DEM
-~~zk - ftaa4l FNnsseakU
Work Reassigned.
Senator Crothers died In 1858.
The work was then assigned to
Senator Edward Turner, Demo-
crat, Of Queen Anne County, who
unsuccessfully 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 it along for legislative ac-
ton this year to avoid q two
year delay in undermining elec-
ton laws.
The attorney generals office
ruled last year, said Mr.. Gold
stein, that such q bill cannot be
enacted during the so-called
"even-year" 30-day sessions.
Senator Stanford Hoff. Repub-
lican, Of Carroll County, has
been appointed chairman Of q
subcommittee Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. which win
review the measure.
Senator George Della, Demo-
crat, Of Baltimore heads the
Senate Elections Committee
which win examine the bill.
Both groups expected to sched-
ule hearings next week.
Newspaper representatives will
be invited to testify at these ses-
sions, as wen as county commits
sioners. election supervisors and
the chairmen Of State central
committees from the various
counties. Mr.. Goldstein said.
