lack of such a program has han
dicapped the university in re-
cruiting new faculty members.
Funds Excluded
However, the estimated $780,

employees under the system was
not included in the budget Gov.
McKeldin has sent to this ses-
sion of the Legislature. AS a
result, DR.. Elkins has requested
that he be allowed to use money
earmarked for faculty pay in
creases for social security con-
tributions, and a resolution has
been introduced here to authorize
that transfer Of funds.
Gov. McKeldin said in his
statement that he favored the
inclusion Of the State employees
and teachers in the Federal
Social Security program at the
time Of preparation Of the budget
for the coming fiscal year, but
the revenue estimates apparent
at the time were not sufficient
to provide this in addition to the
general salary increase for State
employees and the reduction Of
the work week for institutional
employees. :"

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. % Or
Maryland oystermen who never
had it so good before claim a
proposal to hike the export tax
will hurt their prosperity.
They swarmed all over the
Senate chambers yesterday to
protest proposal to raise the
export tax on oysters from 4 to
Is cents a bushel.
Packers had the bill introduced
and argued it viii help them
compete with buyers from Vir-
GINA, New Jersey, and Della
ware. who are able to bid high
because their production costs
are lower or market price is
better.
They claimed also that the
higher export tax is in the in
-terest Of rehabilitating the Chesa-
-peake Bay oyster beds.
: The catchers told the House
chesapeake Bay Committee in
stead that the packers wanted
to keep out the out-of State
buyers so they could fix lower
prices.
Good Times Reported
Otis Evans of Crisfield also
said the "oystermen never had
1t so good before" because of
the higher prices paid by buyers
from New Jersey and Virginia,
where the supply was curtailed
by hurricanes.
He said the proposed high
tariff is vicious and would breed
retaliation" from the other
States. He pointed out Maryland
packers depend entirely on Vir-
ginia crabs during the winter
and also for oysters when they

IN BOSTON
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN

Campaigning has undergone
a metamorphosis in Massa-
chusetts' ward 10, Jamaica
Plains, Boston suburb since
the era when Maggie" O'Rior-
dan earnestly spouted political
sentiments from the tailboard
Of a wagon at street-corner
rallies.
Today Mrs. O'Riordan, now
a gray-haired grandmother
and Democratic national COM
mitteewoman, presides over
and guides political TV rallies
and small "at-home" teas not
only in her old stomping
grounds, but throughout the
entire Bay State.
Whatever the era or median,
the method for victory is still
the same avows this dedicated
Democratic worker. "One
thing politician should never
forget" stresses Mrs. O'Rior-
dan with her soft Boston
Irish accent. nothing is more
effective than ringing door,
bells, covering the precinct
and asking people. will you
register?' The candidate who
goes out and asks people to
vote for him is the candidate
most likely to succeed"
Her capsule advice to the
neophyte politician: There is
no easy way to win in politics
it is hard work"
Blueprint for Action
Mrs. O'Riordan visits WASH
ington at least twice a year,
sandwiching the stopover be-
tween Nationwide trips for
