ANNAPOLIS, April 6.-Mary-
landers can look forward to
sweeping reorganizations in the
State government accompanied
by broad changes in policies and
increased executive powers as
a result of legislation passed by
! the 1859 General Assembly.
In most cases the Legislature
reacted almost automatically to

ended abruptly Saturday fol-

denominations are in order
for the State Roads Commission
tthe biggest spending agency of
the State), the Tidewater Fish
cries Commission, the State
Racing Commission, the State
Planning Commission, the De-
partment of Information and
the lower court system of Balti-
more City.
Political Jobs Created
In almost every case the
Legislature created, at the Gov
ernor's request, more political
jobs to be filled on a patronage
basis.
The Governor also got in
creased executive power
through appointments an d
makeup of the new agencies.
Only once during the session
did the Governor have to throw
the full force of his power into
whipping the Legislature into
line.
That came on the bill to reor-
ganiZe, subject to a constitu-
tional referendum, the Balti-
more City lower courts.

the gambling premises. This.
under the law, amounts to a
trespass and it's illegal.
Also forbidden. under a 1894
Act OF Congress, is the use OF
evidence in court when that
evidence is gained through wire
tapping - making a physical
connection for listening in on a
telephone conversation. How
ever, this may be done as long
as evidence gained this way
isn't used in court.
The local police department
doesn't go in for some of the
fancy equipment used by some
Federal investigative agencies
These would include the gun
mike" which can pick up con-
versations taking place many
feet away. In the first place
these items are very expensive
And Inspector Layton saic
there wouldn't be much use fol
them in normal police opera
lions, anyway.
Sense Of Proportion
While believing that law en-
forcement officers generally
have enough sense Of proper
ton to use electronic devices
with discrimination, he woulc
like to see some hard and fast
rules governing their use by
laymen.
His feeling is these devices
can be a dangerous weapon ir
the wrong hands, However, ht
thinks any rules should moi
hamstring the efforts of police
men to catch the criminals.
Just knowing we have the
equipment-and use it. wher
necessary ought to work or

said.

Equipment, though they are
4eady to listen in when an
Investigation makes it possible
and necessary.
Inspector Layton considers
electronic listening devices as
weapons Of limited use so far
as the law enforcement officer
Is concerned.
Ideal Conditions
Speaking for the Gambling
Squad, which he commands.
the police official said an inves-

have to use the tried and true

Bets on Events
Operations involving bets or

readily to the use of recording

such operations involve wider
use of telephones.
- But even in these cases the
Investigator is limited. He mus
