After the last war, Mr.. Mura-
dian began reading the Bible,
and through his association
with the Rev. Clifford H. Rich
mond, pastor of the Chevy
Chase Methodist Church, he
was drawn more and more to

Merger
Lobbying Hit
Activity Shameful
Simkins Declares
By q star stan Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 22.-House
Judiciary Committee Chairman
Lloyd L. Simpkins today
blasted the Pimlico-Laurel
merger bill and the lobbying
activity behind it.
IF this merger is approved,
we here in Annapolis will have
witnessed one of the biggest
sales promotion jobs since Peter
Stuyvesant talked the Indians
into selling Manhattan for $24, "
Mr.. Simpkins said.
Mr.. Simpkins said the merger
bill and other pieces of gam
bling legislation should not be
before the General Assembly
this year. The even-year ses-
sions are designed primarily
for budget matters.
The chairman Of the power
full Judiciary Committee said
one argument being used by
the Pimlico-Laurel lobbyists
was that Pimlico has been un-
able to get coming changes
necessary for improvement at
its Baltimore track.
Called shameful Episode"
He suggested that If the
Pimlico operators had spent
more time trying to get the
coming approval there would
be no need for the proposed
merger and move of Pimlico.
THE Legislature would have
escaped embarrassment Of the
shameful episode that has been
taking place in and about the
State House these past several
days." Mr.. Simpkins added.
Charging that there had been
a decline in the stature Of
Maryland racing in the last few
years. Mr.. Simpkins said those
responsible for this decline are
the same ones that now come
before us with a bill designed
to fatten their own kitty and
further damage racing in the
State"
Racing Interests Assailed
Racing in this State is no
longer q sport" he said. 1T is
big business. and 1t Is controlled
by men in business for q profit
and. judging by the conduct Of
their lobbyists. they don't care
how they make their profit"
Mr.. Simpkins said it was
time the legislature ignored the
gambling bills which he scored
as private interest bills" and
got on with its budgetary busi-
ness.
He added that he was not
criticizing only the manage
ment Of Laurel and Pimlico but
racing generally here in Mary
land"
II feel that Bowie and the
other tracks share the guilt
equally" Mr.. Simpkins said.
