Veteran of 'Redeye' Hits
Right to Weekly loot

BALTIMORE, Dec. / (R.--A
former Baltimore Mayor--who
confessed to having his own
trouble drinking "redeye"-has
urged a teetotaling Rhode Island
Judge to reconsider his opinion
that a man is entitled to a toot
4 week at home.
II can speak from an unfor-
tunate experience with alcoholic
liquors. Howard w. Jackson
wrote to District Judge Luigi
DePasquale Of Providence yes
terday.
Il note that you have never
touched a drink Of alcoholic bev-
erage." said Mr.. Jackson.
The former Mayors letter was
prompted by an Associated Press
story Monday reporting that
Judge DePasquale entered a plea
of innocent for a 49-year-old
defendant arrested three times
at his home In six months on
complaint Of his wife he was
drunk. ..
1T Is hard for me to under
stand your very unjudicial state

children, charged with drunken

titled to get drunk in bis home

would eliminate the practice of
casting "plunker" ballots. Under
the present setup some candi-
dates who want to become Mayor
urge their supporters to cast
ballots only for them in the
Council election so they will get
the highest number of votes.
These "plunker" votes, in effect,
rob the voter of his right to elect
seven members of the Council.
The mayor also Endorsed the
committees proposal to change
city primary and general election
dates to coincide with State
primary and general elections
He said this would lessen the
cost OF elections and probably
bring out more voters.
Council primaries and the
general elections fall in April
and june respectively while those
for the State Offices are In July
and November.
MIR. Bendheim said the change
in election dates probably would
require q change In the length
of council terms. Councilmen
now are elected for three-year
terms. Most State officials are
elected for four years.
