Maryland:
Assembly Worked Hare, E,
But Produced Little
BY GENE GOODWIN

This years Maryland Legis-
lature worked harder than
most in recent years but pro-
duced less.
1t was industrious but in
efficient.
That was the harsh but vir-
tually unanimous judgment Of
the newspapermen and others
who observed the 1866 General
Assembly during its 80 days
of labor pains that ended in
disorder two hours before
dawn Tuesday.
No one really knows why so
many of the good things this
Legislature tried to do ended
in Illustration, but it seemed
to suffer mostly from a lack
of leadership and an over
abundance of provincialism.
Inexperience
The dearth of leadership
was more obvious and harmful
in this first session of a new
term because more than half
the assemblymen were fresh
men with little or no legisla-
tive experience. It is assumed
that the first >termers prof
tied from their mistakes and
subsequent sessions will be
more creative as a result.
The Democrats have great
numerical superiority over Re-
publicans in the Legislature,
but were handicapped in put
ting together any cohesive
program because a Republican
occupies the Governors Office.
II the Democrats learned any
thing in this session of the
Assembly it must have been
that their donkey is multi
headed.
In the Senate, Majority
Leader John G. Turnbull sell
dom was able to get all 81
Democratic. Senators to vote
together on a Statewide mat
ter. Frequently insurgent DEM
ocrats combined with the eight
Republican Senators to block
the will of the Democratic
whip.
Roods Group Probe
If there was one issue that
should have separated Demo-
Gratis from Republicans 1t was
the proposal to investigate the
Republican controlled State
Roads Commission. This idea
grew from campaign charges
made last fall by the defeated
Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, DR.. H. C. Byrd, and
seemed to represent a Demo-
cratic point of view.
When the issue came to a
vote in the Senate, however. it
not only separated Democrat
from Republican. 1t separated
Democrat from Democrat. Try
as they might, Senator Turn
bull and Senate President Louis
Goldstein could never find the
necessary is votes to pass the
roads probe bill, which the
House approved overwhelm-
ingly. Various pressures, in
cluding those from the Gov
ernor's Office, worked to keep
at least seven Democratic Sen
ators from following their

that prices win 60 20 high that
the use Of natural gas In Vir-
ginia would be no longer de-
sirable."
The Local Setup
To bring the picture closer
home, look at it this way:
Washington Gas Light Co. is
supplied by Atlantic Seaboard
Corp, an interstate pipe trans
mission firm. Atlantic, In
turn. Is fed by United Fuel
Gas Co. United Fuel gets its
supply from Tennessee Gas
Transmission Co.
Last November the Federal
Power Commission approved
rate increases for q group OF
independent natural gas pro-
ducers in the Southwest.
Shortly afterward, Tennessee
Gas Transmission Co. filed new
schedules with the FPC calling
for increases In wholesale rates
amounting to some $8.5 million
annually.
A Washington Gas Light Co.
spokesman told an FPC hear
ing recently that his COM
pany's costs have greatly in
creased In the last five years
because Of higher prices at
the source. There have been
six increases in the cost Of
natural gas purchased by the
local utility since 1949.
vireinions' Reaction
OF more than $4,000 gas
meters in the Metropolitan
Area, nearly 1000, or 20 per
cent, are in suburban Virginia.
Alexandria City Manager Ira
Willard has transmitted his
City Councils protests on re-
moval of Federal control to

other issues.
The disease of provincialisn
also had its gravest outbreaks
in the upper chamber.
Such an important reform
as annual property assess
ments, which everyone admits
will put all property owners
on a more equal basis, almost
was defeated in the Senate by
solons concerned about the
prospect that more equal as
sessments will cut down on the
amount of State school aid
their counties have been un-
fairly claiming.
Senote Tradition
The Senate, where senatorial
courtesy dictates that any
member has the right to pass a
bad bill as long as 1t affects
only his county, gave approval
to a number Of measures ban
ming limited or controlled ac-
cess highways in certain coun-
ties. Fortunately. this pecu-
liar brand of provincialism was
stymied in the House, where
discourtesy in such matters is
more to be pitied than CEN
Sured.
The lower chambers record
was felt by most observers to
have been superior to the Sem
ate's in both the matter Of
leadership and the ability to
take q broader view Of State
problems.
One of the most encouraging
things about this Legislature
was the caliber of its freshman
Delegates. Although their lack
Of experience hurt them In the
first session. the State can look
forward to some creative legis-
lating in the future from such
men as Montgomery's Blair
Lee. Prince Georges Carl
Sickles, Harford's Joe Tydings.
Baltimore's Tom Hedrick and
Anne Arundel's Ridgely Melvin.
This Legislature also can be
proud of its record for work.
None of the observers could
remember a session in which
there was so much attention
to duty and so little time de-
voted to the social life Of the
Legislature.
Few Importont Lows
But, despite this admirable
conscientiousness, very few
important measures were en-
acted. Most of the bills that
demanded the greatest atten-
ton of the lawmakers, in fact,
were killed on the floor or
smothered in committee.
How many bad bills got
through, only time will tell.
One cynical delegate, who
takes the view that the State
would have been better of If
the Legislature had forgotten
to meet this year. suggested
half seriously, after it was all
over. that the 30-day sessions
held every other year be de-
voted to repeating acts of the
preceding 90-day sessions.
His theory, he explained, is
that those who made the mess
ought to have to clean it up.

Why States Take Leod
virginia's State Corporation
Commission has written its
congressional representatives:
"In an effort to protect the
consumers, the State Corpo-
ration Commission and the
commissions Of West Virginia.
Maryland and the District Of
Columbia have Jointly filed a
petition before the Federal
Power Commission. If Con-
gress deprives the Federal
Power Commission Of juris-
diction to hear this petition.
the consumers will be deprived
of all protection so far as
concerns the price charged for
gas by the producers :.
"One reason the State COM
missions are forced to take the
lead in seeking to retain the
regulatory powers and duties
of the FPC is that the un-
organized public is not in a
position to do so. and many
of the distribution companies
are afraid to oppose the wishes
of the corporations on which
their supply Of natural gas
depends"

pending bills introduced by
Representatives Harris, Demo-
crat, Of Arkansas. and Hem

would remove the jurisdiction
of FPC over the independent

Federal controls would re-

State and local regulations
would prevail over public util-

rectly. But prices at the source
would no longer be subject to
Federal scrutiny.
The Harris and Henshaw

Supreme Court decision last
June involving the Phillips

to preserve Federal controls
over one branch of private
industry.
It may come as q surprise
to some that among those
making such . request is the
sacrosanct State Corporation
Commission. On occasion this
body has been accused Of serv-
ing as patron saint to vested
interests when public utility
rate matters come before it.
And State regulation Is usually
considered preferable to Fed
eral control by the big utilities.
Nevertheless. the commits
sion's voice this time Is the
most potent yet heard in a
chorus Of appeals from 'Vir-

regulation producers Of natural
gas who sell to interstate

Widespread sections Of the
Old Dominion are involved,
not the least Of which is Wash

The Issues
In q nutshell, the issue
seems to be this:

of the defense lawyers said he

FAMOUS FABLES

EMISSARY-During the years

game by an umpire.
Mack was not submissive. Far
from it. He would make his point
in every disputed play. It was
just that be realized the futility
of mouth-to-mouth pickering
with the men in blue.
Mack tired another tack. He
would send his son Earle to
bicker for him. Earle would
preface every remark with:

This was a frustrating expert
ence for an umpire. who could
not bounce Connie, who had said
nothing, nor Earle, who was
merely quoting him.
SHORT-One day, as he was
leaving his Office, theatrical pro-
ducer Jed Harris was stopped by
a stranger.
Hello. Mr.. Hughes" greeted
the latter. II haven't seen you
in a long time!"'
Harris eyed the man blankly

mered the other. II thought you

"Uh-huh." agreed Harris, ''by

While Mr.. Dale was dealing
Mr.. Muzzy had been picking up
his cards one by one. The re-
suit was that when the other
players were just picking up
their hands he had his cards
all sorted.
Pass" he said suddenly.
Mr.. Champion drummed his
fingers on the table and looked
disguised. Mr.. Judge, who
fancies himself as the ofiicial
arbiter of the game, went into
action. Whipping out his book
of rules, he announced that Mr..
Muzzy. having passed out of
turn when 1t was the turn OF
his right-hand opponent). was
barred when 1t was next his
turn to call.
So the auction reverted to
the proper player. Mr.. Dale. and
he bid one heart. Mr.. Muzzy
had to pass. Mr.. Abel raised to
two hearts and Mr.. Champion
passed.
Now Mr.. Dale wondered where
all the spades were. He guessed
that a lot of them were on his
left and with the idea of keep
ing Mr.. Muzzy out of the auc-
ton entirely he stretched a lit
tie and jumped to four hearts.
This was a little too steep for
Mr.. Muzzy and he decided to
pass.
Mr.. Dale made his contract
by good play, Mr.. Muzzy won
the first trick with the king of
spades. then made his best shift
the deuce of diamonds.
This looked like fourth
highest lead to Mr.. Dale. If so.
then Mr. Champion had only
two diamonds. A diamond from
the closed hand could be dis
carded on dummy's fourth club
after the ace of that suit was
knocked out. Hoping the ace
of clubs was in Mr.. Champion g
hand, Mr.. Dale ducked the Sec
ond trick, permitting Mr.. Cham
pion to win with the king of
diamonds. He won the diamond
return with the ace. picked up
the trumps and led the king of
clubs.
Mr.. Champion won that. but
had no diamond to cash and
no way to reach his partners
hand. The defense had taken
all the tricks they were going
to get.
Mr.. Champion remarked sour
ly that four spades could have
been made on the East West
cards-even with Muzzy play
ing it.

Game Fishing Across Canada

Canada is fortunate in having
considerable areas devoted solely
to recreation. They are full Of fish,
game and wild life which, with
enlightened management inspired
by tragic experiences in other parts
OF North America. may be main
tanned indefinitely.
Broadly speaking, Canada has
salmon and trout on the Atlantic
and Pacific sides and bass. muskies,
walleyes and pike in the middle.
So. whether the angler has $50
or $4,000 to spend on a Canadian
fishing trip; whether the fisherman
hitch-hikes in with a box Of ring
worms in his jeans or whether he
travels to any section of Canada's
great fishing country aboard one of
the Canadian National Railways
spick and span new trains. there is
fishing in Canada for everybody.
What you want, you can fnd," say
the experts.
Canada is possibly the last
stronghold OF the most famous of
all game fish, the Atlantic salmon.
The salmon Of Newfoundland. New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec
and the shores of the Gulf of st.
Lawrence is identical with the
salmon of Britain and Norway. The
average weight of fy-caught salmon
may be somewhere between IL and
10 pounds with now and then some
reaching 80 pounds. The record
Atlantic salmon - So and one-half
pounds-was caught in Nova Scotia

High School Grads Gel Technical
Education in Courses They Choose!

Opportunity is knocking-not only once, but 81 times-for
the high school graduate in todays L. S Army. Under the new
Reserved for You" Program, male and female graduates take their
choice of a technical career and get that choice of training guaranteed
before they enliH. The range of fields to choose frona is wide, with a
course for every background, every interes. There's training leading
to skill in such diverse fields as maintenance Of atomic weapons and
automotive body repair.
Here's how the program works: High school graduates look
over a listing of the 81 courses at their L. S. Army Recruiting Station.
They select two courses (frst and second chooes). When their choice
is available, they'll receive official word in the form Of a letter, guar
anteeing that a classroom seat has been reserved in their name for
schooling beginning on a specific date.
Thus, young men and women volunteering for the Army have
the unusual advantage of knowing their assignment even before they
are sworn In!

mentals. Then, they're off to Army cassrooms all over the country,
to get a valuable technical education they can use in the future in
the Army or in civilian life.
