poSal than that contained in
the Walsh bill.
Proponents of the Walsh bill
so far have been able to stave
of House vote long enough
to try to round up more sup
port for the measure.
BaltimOreanS Cool
The reapportionment fight
generally lines up the big
county-city legislators against
the rural legislators.
However. several Baltimore
City delegates who are cool to
the reapportionment proposal
walked out yesterday about the
time the Walsh bill was sched-
uled to come up for a vote.
Gov. Tawes had expected the
Baltimore City delegation to be
solidly behind the Walsh bill.
Observers attributed the
walkout of the several Balti-
more delegates yesterday to an
attempt by Jack Pollack, one
of Baltimore City's political
bosses, to show his strength for
later bargaining for patronage
jobs for his organization.
The bill was put over until
today by a vote of So to 81.

The Walsh bill, which re-
quires "a votes by the House
for passage, calls for increas-
ing the membership of the
House of Delegates from 1913 to
141 and giving the extra dele
gates to the populous counties
and Baltimore City.
The bill calling for a con-
stitutional convention, which
could handle the reapportion-
ment issue, was proposed by
Delegate Jerome Robinson,
Democrat of Baltimore City.
Early Complaint
When it was first introduced,
proponents of the Walsh bill
said the Robinson bin was Just
aimed at muddying the waters.
However. proponents of the
Walsh bill said today that the
Robinson proposal might be
useful as a lever to win ap-
proval for the Walsh program.
They plan to use the Robin
son bill as a threat against
rural legislators, with the argu-
ment that a constitutional con-
vention may result in a more
drastic reapportionment pro-

Papers Again

Boy Scouts of Troop 1OS will
be out this Saturday in the
Caledonia School neighborhood
collecting newspapers and mag
azines to earn some more money
| to pay their camping fees to
the National Scout Jamboree
for six of the members and two
weeks at Camp Beaumont for
40 scouts.
A trailer will be spotted be-
hind the school and anyone who
wants to bring their papers to
the school will be helping the
scouts to attend summer camp
in August. A new troop rule
is that no boy may attend camp
without earning his $40 tuition
or at least half of it.
Between the paper sales each
month and his sales of fertil-
izer, First Class Scout David
Griffith has already earned his
Beaumont camp fee and is now
working on his Jamboree fee.
He's leading the fertilizer sales
and hopes to win the first prize
Of a summer uniform which
he'll need at the Jamboree in
Colorado Springs in July.
The 50th Anniversary win
dow display by the troop is
drawing lots of attention be-
cause it demonstrates with en-
larged photos just how the
troop keeps the Outing in

Dedicated Purpose Holds
Welfare Group Together

They were organized and dedi-
Gated their activities for the
purpose of providing spiritual
and material aid to under-priv-
ileged persons generally and
particularly to improve the con-
ditions of INDECENT and needy
children, regardless of race,
creed or color.
The founders of Clemera were
originally an auxiliary of the
Cleveland Mercator Society,
business mems club which still
exists and from which their
name was derived.
During the 25 years Of the
clubs existence, and recorded in
Clemera's past records, the club
has followed a diversified pro-
gram of raising funds, includ-
ing garden parties, bridge par
ties, style shows, smosgasbords,
sales tax stamp collections and
so forth.
In turn it has supported ev-
cry major drive, provided food
baskets at Thanksgiving and
Christmas time to at least five
needy families with children and
sent groups of children every
summer to camps in co-opera-
tion with the Cuyahoga County
Aid for Dependent Children.
During the last fifteen years,
the Club has allocated $10,-
962.62 for these purposes and
approximately two hundred and
fifty food baskets have been
distributed. Letters of graft
tude expressing the joy and
happiness in being remembered
and the renewal of hope and
faith in humanity are always
received.
AS a 20-Year Project, the
club provided the Toomey Paw
ilion of the Metropolitan Gen.
eral Hospital with an electric
typewriter which enables a dis
abled or handicapped child or
adult, to write with the aid of
a plastic tube inserted in the
mouth. They also provided a
large Atlas, record player,
aquarium, a set of the Book of
knowledge and a singing bird.
It's Welfare Committee in
vestigates cases of neglect and
poverty of children and makes
its report and recommendations.
The club is maintained entirely
through its own efforts of rails
ing funds, memberships, pri-
vate donations and contribu-
tions of members. Members of
long standing and new men,
bers are perpetuating the good
work initiated in 1885. The
founders of Clemera started on
a humanitarian path towards
the objective of helping others.
The solid foundation they es-
tablished has passed the test
year after year. Their reward
is a great one, the warm heart
felt satisfaction of knowing
that they have helped the less
fortunate.
The activities and purpose of
the club have gained national
and international attention for
they have had magazine pub
licity and have also received
letters from German mothers
after the war asking for help
for their children.

port, to revise all Of the special

The Ames bill authorized the

the sponsors thought the certi-
fication would be delayed.
Mfr. Bennett said he obtained

Beverage Control profits, now
may have to be apportioned on
the basis Of 1850 population
levels, instead Of 1860 figures
He based this possibility or
another section Of the Law

under which MIR. Bennett acted
shall not apply to. or limit the
distribution Of any State

In other words. he said, the
