ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 81 (AP)

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 81 (AP)
- The house Judiciary Com
mittee has killed a bill which
would have eliminated the use
of certain human bodies in
anatomy classes Of Maryland
medical schools.
The bill, introduced at the
request Of undertaken groups.
would have repealed an 1882
law giving the Anatomy Board
control over unclaimed bodies
and others to be buried at pub
lie expense.
The medical schools at Johns
Hopkins and the University Of
Maryland use such bodies in
anatomy instruction.
A parade of doctors and med
ical educators told the legisla-
tors at a hearing the proposal
would seriously hamper teach
ing Of the care Of the living,
They indicated it could result
In withdrawal Of accreditation
from Maryland medical schools
They said the 1882 law did
away with grave robbing and
traffic in human bodies and
had never been attacked until
now.

Lincoln's favorite poem both by
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
and Stevenson's Home Book Of
Quotations.
The first stanza Of the long
poem, with corrections In
parenthesis. is:
Oh, why should the spirit Of
mortal be proudl
Like (a) swift fieeting (flittingt'
meteor, a fast flying
cloud.
A fash of the lightning, a
break of the wave.
He passeth from life. to his rest
in the grave.
Written on War Department
letterhead stationery. dated
1852. the paper contains a
paragraph written on the back
signed by Edwin M. Stanton.
It says:
The within verses were
written out from memory by
Abraham Lincoln for Mrs.
Stanton given to her by him"
Mrs. Van Swearingen said
she surmised that since the
poem was written on War De-
partment stationary, it was
penned either while Mr.. Lin
coin was visiting in Secretary
Stanton's Office or his home.
II assume President Lincoln
and Mrs. Stanton had previous
ly discussed a mutual admira-
ton for the poem and that he
gave her the copy as a ges-
ture Of thoughtfulnesS." Mrs.
Van Swearingen said,
Quoted In Speeches
According to Mr.. Lincoln's
biography by Carl Sandburg,
the President also sent hand
written copies Of his favorite
poem to at least two other
persons, and he quoted from 1t
in various speeches.
Mrs. Van Swearingen also
