supervised water facilities.
The salaries of the Chief En-
gineer, Treasurer and Secretary
would be set by the Commits
sion after its organization.
A prOvisO that no Commits
siOner may hold any other elec-
tive office was to be included
as an amendment to the bill,
according to delegation spOkes-
mea. They limited this amend
ment might also extend to any
one holding appOintive office.
The lone Republican IegisIa-
tor from the two counties, Gil
bert Guide of Montgomery, was
the only voice favOring re.
Gently announced COP study
commission plan to create a
five-man Commission to be
named by the Governor.
Delegate Guide, supported by
Democrats Blair Lee, 3rd, and
Warren Browning, also was ac-
lively endorsing a bill to require
driver-training instruction in the
public high schools of Maryland.
Similar legislation failed to
pass in previous sessions but has
gained increasing support in re-
cent years as safety and traffic
enforcement officials encourage
adoption of such a program by
crediting it with cutting down on
highway accidents involving teen
age drivers.
Senator Edward Northrup
sponsored a bill to reorganize the
Board of State Barber Examin-
ers and require that one be ap-
pointed at large but that the re-
naming four on a five-man
Board be selected regionally. The
regions to be represented would
include the Eastern Shore, West
ern and Central Maryland, South
ern Maryland (including Mont
gomery County, and Baltimore
City. Three would be journeymen

master BARRIERS.
The State Roads Commission
was under fire from several
fronts at Annapolis this week as
the Senate Democrats pushed
through an emergency bill to
postpone the proposed increase in
motor vehicle registration fees
for one more year.
The bill would endanger the
12-year building program, in the
opinion of Roads Commission Of
ficials since the higher registra-
ton fees are earmarked for main
tenance expenses which now
amount to about $3-million an
nually. To offset this, at least
partially, Senate Majority Lead
er John Grason Turnbull propos-
ed that the budget of the Mary
land State Police, an estimated
$1.9-million, be removed from the
highway special funds and placed
under General Funds.
At the same time, a legislative
probe of the Commission and its
long-range roads program was re-
quested in identical House-Senate
bills that called for creation of
a siX-man Special Committee, con-
sisting of the presiding officers,
majority and minority floor lead
ers of both houses. An expendi-
ture of not more than $4,000,
to be taken from the Roads agen-
cy, would be authorized for the
employment of consultants and
investigators.
1t seemed increasingly likely
that the Legislature would also
approve a toll road authority
which might dramatically reduce
the cost of the 12-year program
and the Roads Commission indi-

CLOS P
By FRITZ POLLARD

New York, (Global) - We have
come today to eat crow. We have
been extremely critical of Walter
Aston and his high-handed meth
DDS of dealing with the Brooklyn
Buns" We have said many times
that his more or less rough ap-
proach simply would not do, that
it did something to undermine the
confidence of the player and made
him insecure, because he never
knew when his job was safe.
However, in the case of Don
Newcombe, who is once again be-
ing called one of Brooklyn's star
hurlers, the treatment was sue
cessful. For some time there had
been a tendency to play along with
Don and coddle him. They knew
he had the stuff, and the fact that
he wasn't pouring it on was some
thing of puzzle. Then, Mr.. Aston
seems to have come up with the
proper treatment. He delivered the
crushing blow to the Newcombe
ego. He had the champ pitching
batting practice.
Well, Newk got mad, all right.
He was no batting practice pitch
er, he said. He wanted to start
games. He said so, and refused to
fit into the groove. Of course he
needed discipline for that one, and
he got it. But the fact that he was
mad, also was impressive, apparent
ly, and he got a chance to prove

again to start games" He start
ed on May 10, 1855 against the
Chicago Cubs. He finished it, too.
He pitched a hitter and faced
only 27 men. This is a feat not
many pitchers can boast.
So now, with a good shut-out as
the kickoff, maybe Don Newcombe
is on his way to becoming the
pitcher he once was. And all be-
cause Mr.. Aston, one time any
how, hit on the right prescription.

Safety Council Notes

Skidding and poor vision are the
chief enemies Of safe driving dur
ing winter monthsi
That was the warning issued by
J. James Ashton. Manager Of the
Delaware Safety Council and Direc-
tor Of the State SD program, who
commented today on the recent
Safe-Driving Day observed here.
'The Presidents proclamation Of
SD Day was a great help in pro-
noting traffic safety, said Mr.. Ash
ton. "Our major effort now must be
to make EVERY day SD Day"
Two major elements in the cam
paign fol safe driving, especially
during winter months, are made
quate traction and reduced visibili-
ty, the safety group spokesman ex-
planned.
Reduced visibility and made
Quate traction, he said, when
combined with the normal hazards
of everyday driving. can easily
lead the unwary driver directly to
an accident"
Studies made by the National
Safety Councils Committee on Win
ter Driving Hazards indicate that
these are the two major factors in
Milford chronicle., 1955-12-02

winter traffic accidents.
Reduced visibility is brought
about BY longer hours of darkness,
bad weather conditions caused by
snow or sleet storms, and obstruc-
tons to the drivers vision from
frost. ice, snow-coVered wind
shields and snoW5anks along the
highway. according to Mr. Ashton.
Snow, sleet and ice are the chief
causes Of inadequate traction, the
safety group spokesman said, point
ing out that according to studies
made by tie National Safety Coun-
Gil the drivers vision was obscured
