It Is also to be noted that
Section 29-52 Of the Code lists
the persons exempt from IL
cense requirements but does
not refer to the type Of ami

does provide that q license is

There's nothing to indicate
that Mr.. Riddle first tried to

"I base this conclusion not
only on the provisions con-
tanned In Section 2e-52. but
also on Section 29-l3S -"
and 20 on, ad infinitum. the
attorney general rules. Near
the end Of this weighty legal
tract, Mr.. Almond concludes:
Therefore In my opinion,
the question to be asked In
determining the necessity Of
obtaining q hunting license.
not only from q strictly legal
standpoint but also from the
practical standpoint Of law
enforcement, Is not what type
Of wild animals q person Is

ing such animals.
Applying this test, ! am of
the opinion that the usual
methods Of taking bullfrogs.
i.e.. gigging from q boat or

q pond, or using q rife from
such places, would be consid-
cred hunting as that term Is

OF course, Mr.. Riddle was

Nevertheless, he elected 70

In the confused present

to uranium exploration in
Mexico today, nothing concrete
can be learned from official
sources. While unoficially
there is much talk about tre-
mendous uranium deposits,
the Department Of National

prosecute all who illegally
search for atomic minerals"
This despite the fact that APP
parently some foreign pros
pectors and firms, sworn to
secrecy, are probing areas
where reports of finds have
come through.
Gov. Braulio Maldonado OF
the State Of Lower California
said recently that his area is
rich In uranium. He has sent
a delegation to Mexico City to
obtain the necessary permits
for exploration Of the finds.

Under the current setup,
where federal authorities can
expropriate uranium and Co

certain that they will receive

til the situation is clarified.

tains silence on the subject,
rumors and reports Of impor-
tant finds have been published
by the press here.
The Department Of National

and titanium mines were
being exploited in the repub-
lic-this despite the fact that
Republic Steel has begun in
stallation Of equipment on an
inaccessible mountaintop in
Oaxaca to exploit what are
termed rich" titanium de-
posits.
In direct contrast to the
ministerial denial, Francisco
Perez, head Of the Special
Studies Division Of the Depart
ment Of Mines "a Department
of Economy bureau, said that
1T is no myth that uranium
exists in various zones Of the
republic"
Perez Is one of the most
competent Of Mexico's mining
engineers. He studied for three
years at the Colorado School
of Mines. A few weeks ago.
he made a special trip to Mex
icali to investigate the exist
ence Of uranium, and he in
dicated that there is q strong
possibility of encountering rich
deposits. A detailed analysis

had occasion recently to dis
agree with an opinion from
the ONCE Of his Democratic
Attorney General.
II don't need the Attorney
General" Mr.. McKeldin 10 re-
ported to have said. 1--WE got
Bill Addison"
He was referring to 43-year-
old Morris william Addison,
his friend, conddant and for
mer law associate-and the
closest thing Maryland has to
o lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Addison is q registered
Democrat and once organized
q Northwest Baltimore Demo-
cratic club.
Nevertheless, since he first
met fellow lawyer Theodore
Roosevelt McKeldin almost 10
years ago, Mr.. Addison per-
haps has done more than any
other man to boost the Gov
ernor to national Republican
prominence.
Gov. McKeldin. for his part,
describes Mr.. Addison as "a
dependable and loyal friend
whose advice, counsel and as
sistance ! hold In high value"
During his four and q half
years In Annapolis. Gov. Me-
Keldin has sought and appar-
entity often needed Mr.. Adel-
sons counsel on virtually all
matters Of state and politics,
including even his highest ap-
pointments.
Though Gov. McKeldin is
. Republican from way back.
he has long made q virtue OF
necessity by being practically
q Democrat where State poll
tics ID concerned. His re-elec-
ton last year proves that get
ting along with the opposition
pays on. But some people
think his reliance on MFR. Adel-
son Is too much Of q good
thing.
Governors Trouble Shooter
Sometimes, when something
goes wrong in his administra-
tion. the Governor looks to his
friend for trouble shooting
duty. When the Maryland
Roads Commission last month
received information that
caused 1t to suspend Ben Du
Pre-. assistant right-of-way en-
