Maryland:
Cole Finds State Senate Hospitoble

ANNAPOLIS-Social history
has been made at this 320th
session Of the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly. the first at
which Negroes have sat as
members.
Not much has been said or
written about 1t because it
has turned out to be pretty
matter-of- fact.
The Negro Senator and the
two Negro delegates seem to
have been accepted by their
white colleagues here for what
they are-duly elected rep
resentatives of the people Of
the Fourth District of Balti-
more City.
There have been no reported
incidents Of ungentlemanly
conduct between white and
colored. Hostility, II any. has
been well concealed.
Some feared the recent full
scale hearing on the contro-
versial Civil Rights Bill
would stir up a hornets nest,
but it turned out to be the
most orderly big hearing Of the
session - much more orderly
than the rockfish and the
right-to-work hearings.

The Civil Rights Bill. which
was aimed at ending discrimi-
nation in schools and public
places, was introduced in the
Senate and House by the two
Republican Negro members
Senator Harry A. Cole and
Delegate Emory r. Cole (no
relation). The Senator's bill
came to the floor and was de-
feated on a 1919 vote with his
seven Republican colleagues
all voting against him.
MoIkus' Role
Senator Frederick c. Malkus,
Democrat. from Dorchester
County, in the heart of Mary
lands race-conscious Eastern
Shore, presided over the hear
ing as chairman Of the Judi
sial Proceedings Committee
and was complimented by both
sides for the fair manner in
which he handled what could
have been an explosive situa-
ton. Nearly 300 persons.

jammed the House chamber
for the hearing.
Senator Malkus then allowed
the civil rights bill-which he
voted against-to come out on
the Senate floor even though
his committee gave it an un-
favorable report. cole has

tude.

OF the three. Senator Cole
has been in the limelight more.
The 34-year-old Baltimorean
is to the Maryland Legislature,
it might be said, what Jackie
Robinson was to baseball.
Tall, soft-spoken and well
educated, Senator Cole is a
meticulous dresser and one of
the two youngest men in the
upper chamber.
Although he was born In

Maryland Low Groduots
He graduated from Morgan
State College magma cum
laude in 1943 and from the
University of Maryland Law
School in 1949. A former first
lieutenant in the Army in
World War II, his first crack
at politics came in 1850 when
he ran unsuccessfully for the
House Of Delegates. The next
year he made q good race
for City Council. losing by only
427 votes.
Gov. McKeldin named him
Maryland's first Negro assist
ant attorney general In 1858,
an elevation which helped him
upset incumbent Bernard s.
Melnicove by 81 votes in last
November's election. He also
was aided by the fact that as
many Negroes as whites reg
istered in his district for the
first time.
Senator Cole says he came to
Annapolis with q free and open
mind and has been pleased to
find that he has been accepted
as a man.
Prejudice" the senator
feels, "is lack Of knowledge.
and once people know you and
understand you. prejudice dis
solves"
The friendliness the legis-
lature has shown toward its
three Negro members has not
extended to the city OF An-
napolis. Hotels and restau-
rants frequented by legislators
have remained FOR whites

Senator Cole has been COM
muting to his home in Balti-
more all session and taking his
meals either in the soup-and.

State House or in homes OF
Annapolis friends.
This has not embittered the
young senator. He is con-
fident that the hospitality and
courtesy Of the legislature soon
will extend to Annapolis and
someday the entire State.

AS DuffodiI
Time Comes
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

GLOUCESTER. Va. - They
grow daffodils here as ordinary
farmers raise wheat or corn.
It's a big business-one Of
the major crops Of Gloucester
and Mathews Counties. The
brief season is at its peak.
About this time of year, II
you dine out in Washington.
Baltimore, Philadelphia or New
York, the chances are that the
golden harbinger Of Spring
that graces your table came
from this Tidewater section Of
Virginia.
Something like $4,000 boxes
Of dafiodils are shipped out
Of this area each season. A
season lasts only about four
weeks. The business crosses
about $250,000 annually.
Some people make dafodil
growing o business in itself.
Others take it on as q side
line. Still others grow vari-
eties Of the narcissus family
as a hobby in a section Of their
back yards. They sell them to
get pocket money.
Recent freezing weather and
high winds set the daffodil
business back. State Depart
ment of Agriculture inspectors
and leading growers estimate
the loss at rs per cent.
Stems, Not Blooms. Hurt
A team Of four inspectors
takes up temporary residence
in a motel here during the
marketing season. When freez-
ing weather set in. the blooms
weren't hurt as much as the
stems. A daffodil contains a
lot Of water and when that
freezes the stems become
brittle.
S. A. Janney, president Of
the Virginia Flower Growers
Association, said more harm
was done by high winds of the
last two weeks than by cold
weather. The wind bruises
the blossoms and the inspec-
tors place the flowers in q low
er grade.
The freeze had its compen-
sations, however. 1t also hurt

Argument Over Protection
The spokesman for the Ma

GAIT and OTC q most dan

ident the powers in HR1 and
allow OTC to be born, he
states. and you will have

surrender to q supernatural
body powers over trade which
our Constitution reserves for
the Congress.
Nonsense, say the Presidents
supporters. Congress may
always do what it wants, OTC
or no OTC.

Dulles Not Briefed
The snarl referred to dates
from Secretary Dulles ap-
pearance before the Senate
Finance Committee on March
%. The Secretary appears not
to have had time to get thor
oughly briefed on the details
Of the trade program. His
testimony as to the relation
ship of the revised GAIT and
OTC to the Cooper Bill (HRD
seemed self-contradictory. AS
a result. Chairman Harry F.
Byrd expressed the Senate's
desire to be fully inforemd on
the new GAIT and OTC be-
fore passing upon HR1.
The Administrations Spon-
sorship of the liberal trade leg
islation has been inept from
the start. In 1858 Congress
reluctantly extended the Presi-
dents trade agreements powers
for one year pending a study;
and in 1854 for another year.
Now a 3-year extension and
strengthening Of the powers
is being sought. The study
was headed by steelmaker
Clarence Randall, who in vari-
Gus ways irritated both the
press and members of the Con-
gress.
Complicating the course Of
the Administrations present
trade plans is the fact that
protectionist sentiment in the
United States has been grow
ing progressively stronger and
more widespread. When the
New Deal started the trade
hberalizing program a genera
ton ago as a means Of fighting
economic depression and rails
ing living standards, it had the
hearty support of the tradi-
tionally free-trade and Demo-
cratic South. Since 1884. how
ever, industrialization of the
South and Far West has
zoomed while the cause Of free
trade has suffered corre-
spondingly.

the conflict between the efficient

most Of these automotive

Now that cars can 60 q lot

and the highways are relatively
less able to handle them.l

Equally curious is the fact that
few drivers really understand
speed laws.
For example, drivers who go
one mile per hour over the 55-

those going over so may be quite
