DR.. Corning criticized the
Davis group for linking school
indignation and an outgo of
white residents from the city. He
said the group had ignored data

as in Washington
1T is undoubtedly true that
some families did move to
Maryland or Virginia in order
to avoid the indignation of the
schools" he said. But he added:
1t is not possible to prove that
the decrease in the white popu-
lation in the schools is due
solely to indignation"
The superintendent denied
that the schools have had any
significant increase in teacher
designations or retirements since
indignation.
He also denied a Davis con-
tention that the District schools
are more adequately financed
than many comparable school
systems. Among the 18 largest
cities, the District ranked Is last

'McKe|din Supports
18-Year-O|d Votinq
Move Would
Require Change
In Constitution
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star STAFF Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. J.-G0V.
McKeldin today pledged full
support for a bill before the
Maryland Legislature propose
ing to lower the voting age to
18 years.
He recalled he has frequently
spoken in favor of this idea and
last month proposed that it be
placed on the agenda for d round
table discussion at the 1857 Ma
tional Governors Conference to
be held in Williamsburg, Va,
this summer.
The bill was introduced yes
terday by House Republican
Minority Leader George r.
Hughes, Jr.. of Allegany County.
Mr.. Hughes said he had not dis
cussed the matter with the Gov
ernor but felt certain it would
receive his support.
The measure would require an
amendment to the State Con-
stitution, which would have TO
be approved by the voters in
the next general election in
1858
The present minimum voting
age in Maryland and ali States
except Georgia and Kentucky is
81. Those two States have
lowered it to 10.
Narrowly Beaten in '53
The last time the 18-year-old-
vote issue was brought before
the Maryland Legislature was in
1858, when a bill by former Sem
ator Paul Bailey, Republican of
st. Marys County. was narrowly
defeated in the Senate.
Mr.. Hughes, a 3l-year-old
Cumberland lawyer, said he de-
cided to introduce the measure
after being impressed by how
Well-informed and politically
conscious" he had found high
school students to be in his home
city.
He said he had served on sew
eral high school civics and gov
ernment panels since 1853, when
he became chairman of a Cum
berland Junior Chamber of Com
merce committee TO arrange the
annual day on which teen-agerS
take over the city Offices.
THE enthusiasm and intelli-
gence shown by high school STU
dents | have met is very i'm
pressiye," Mr. Hughes said.
He said he feels that if the
average high school graduate
were allowed to vote at about
the time he graduates instead of
waiting two or three years. he
would grab at the opportunity
and get the voting habit imme-
diately.
Training Wears Off
But as it is now, by the time
high school graduates reach
voting age OF 81. the good school
civic training has worn off to
some extent and they are in
clined to skip voting until
| later age" he added.
Gov. McKeldin. in remarks
to the executive committee of
the National Governors Con-
ference in Chicago last month,
said he felt it was time the
rest of the States should be
giving serious thought and
action" to following the example
of Georgia and Kentucky.
I'VE should consider the
changes that nave taken place
in the life OF this republic. and
particularly in our years. he
said.
Young people are no longer
apprentices to masters. They
are advanced in their education.
They study government in high
school and college. They par
ticipate in learned debates on
great issues OF the day Many
of them are better informed on
national and world events than
are many OF their elders" he
said.

claims against "a substantial
part" of the gold and that for

Senator Byrd. in an interview,
said he wants to know how other
countries obtained claims against
the gold and why the Treasury
in its daily statement continues
to carry the full amount as an
asset.
The Senator said he learned
only last week of the claims
against the gold. Until then he
said he thought, as most people,
that the gold was owned wholly
by the United States. He en-
phasized that he was not saying
there was anything wrong in
the situation.
