There can he little doubt that
this bill, like others before it,
was aimed at destroying Mont
gOmery COunty's monopoly dis
pensary system. If we had to
maintain Maryland "fair trade"
prices, we would no longer be
able to compete with Washing
ton stores, and the 100000 an
nual profit from the dispensary
system would vanish almost
over night. Its loss would cause
property tax increase of some
10 cents per 500 of assessed
value.
So you can see that it was a
matter of do or die for the Mont
gomery County delegation.
The bill, H. B. 681, was pending
before the House Committee on
Alcoholic Beverages, which is
dominated by people who, for one
reason or another, are sympa-
thetic to the liquor industry.
Montgomery Countys Delegate
William B. Wheeler is one of its
few members who have no ties
with the industry.
Delegate Wheeler arranged a
hearing. Testimony was pre-
scented by County Manager Mel
Reese, County Attorney Charles
IreIan and Director Jim Erwin
of the Department of Liquor
Control. All six members of the
Montgomery Delegation attend
ed the hearing. 1t was prob
ably the first committee hear
ing in three years that all six
of us had attended en- masse.
The psychological effect was
good.
The real battle, however, was
fought in the corridors, in the
cioakrooms and in the Tap Room
at Carvel Hall. We let it be known
that if the bill was reported ia.

put on floor fight that would

dustry.
And the liquor boys, who could
still remember Warren Brown
ing's famous floods of suds''
speech during the Carvings beer
fight last year, knew that we
could do it.
In the end they backed down
and agreed to exempt Montgom
cry County in an amendment Of
fered by the Alcoholic Beverages
Committee itself.
There have been other occa-
sions when the liquor industry
has been frustrated on the floor
of the House or on the floor OF
the Senate, but / know of no 9th
er occasion in recent history when
the liquor boys have been forced
to their knees inside the Alcohol.
ic Beverages Committee.
Budget Actions
The operating budget was cut
by almost $3,0OO,OO0. None of
the old hands around the State
House can remember year
when a larger slice was taken
out of it.
Yet the cutting was done fairly
scientifically, and the reductions
were harmful only in rare in
stances. One of these was the cut
in the Local Medical Care budget,
which was still too large even
after Senator Northrop and l had
succeeded in restoring $50 900.
On the bright side of the pic
ture, the 80 new State police
men proposed in the budget
came through unscathed. The
huge budget of the University
of Maryland was reduced by

Gen. Lane, however, ques-
toned whether it was sound
public policy" to allow a situa-
ton to exist in which dealers
actually had to pay for the priv
ilege of getting a license which
the city issues free.
This was a reference to the
fact that because the ABC Board
will not grant new licenses,
prospective dealers often pay
large sums in order to have an
existing license transferred to
them by someone who is going
out Of business.
In connection with the prob
lem of the Southwest dealers,
Mr.. Mclaughlin remarked that
it had been reported to him that
liquor dealers in neighborhoods
where the Southwest dealers
wanted to relocate had urged
their customers to petition the
ABC Board against allowing the
newcomers to come in.
This. Mr.. Mclaughlin said,
was because a new store coming
in would hurt the business Of
the existing store.

The full board Is expected to
approve the project, which seeks
to restore technical training to

Under way now is a program
aimed to recruit students de-
string technical training over
and above the regular academic
program. Boundaries which now
exist for all high schools will be
eliminated for students desiring
to take the technical course at
Mckinley.
School Board members, to-
lyether with school officials, toured
the high school today. They
saw old laboratories converted
to contain the modern machines
OF advanced technology.
It is hoped the technical pro-
gram may enable the District
school system to reduce the vast
shortages Of technicians in
scientific fields.

said the program can succeed as
long as junior high schools pro.
vide students with the funda-
mentals leading to higher tech

The school will continue t.
provide regular academic course.
for students living in the imme.
date area.
