ANNAPOLIS, FEB. 2.-The
Maryland Legislature has before
lit today q bin for the strict reg
|ulation Of overlapping.
The measure. which has the
backing Of the powerful Legis-
lative Council. would prohibit
overlapping In Maryland. except
where 1t Is done under court
order obtained by q States at
torney or the State Attorney
General from D county Circuit
Court Judge or 4 Judge Of the
Baltimore Supreme Court.
The Free State nov has no
prohibition or regulation Of
overlapping. Evidence. obtained
by overlapping Is admitted In
criminal cases.
During the 1855 session Of the
Legislature. bills to prohibit and
regulate wiretapping were intro
duced In both the Senate and
House. But differences 81 opin-
ion on the issue were never rec
|onciled, and the question was
referred 70 the Legislative Coun-
|cil. interim study group Of the
Legislature.
Introduced By Goidstein

of the S0-day session here. the
bill drafted by the council was
introduced In the Senate by

Both the House and Senate

Must Appropriate Funds
Further legislative action is
required, however, before the in
centive fund is increased for the
next fiscal year beginning July /.
The money to finance the $40
million involved must be appro-
priated.
Senate President Goldstein
said the thinking of Democratic
leaders Is that there will be
enough surplus State funds left
at the end Of this fiscal year to
finance the bill. which would
raise from SO to $40 per pupil
the amount Of school building
aid the State gives to the coun-
ties each year.
II the Legislature does take
action to finance the measure
