TaweS Calls Extra
Legislative Session

Gov TaWcs has called a special
session of the Maryland Lcgisla-
turc for Friday morning, June
to enact new legislation regulat-
ing the savings and loan industry
and broadening powers of Balti-
moro's municipal court.
The announcement came after
petitions had been filed in Annap-
oils blocking the effect of legisla-
tive acts which would accomplish
these two detectives, until they
could be put on referendum at
the general election in November
1862
Special delivery letters were
mailed to the 1913 members of the
General Assembly advising them
these sessions would begin at II
o'clock a. m. State Senator Bcr-
nard l. Gender, and Delegates
Leslie f. Savage, Ebert Bucket
and Eliza Bray viii! attend.
The Legislature will be asked at
the special session to enact new
bills circumventing the effect of
these petitions. 1t will also con-
slider an amendment to new sales
tax adjustments to insure that pre-
pared food bought in grocery
stores will not be subject to tax
the same as restaurant meals.
The petitions blocking the June
effective date of the two bills
we're filed with Secretary of State
by James II. Pollack, northwest
Baltimore Democratic leader and
associates.
Pollock, in filing the petitions.
also raised a possible threat of
court tests against any emergency
legislation that might be enacted
to get around the petitions. He
said this would deprive signers of
their right of petition under Ar
ticle Is of the state constitution.
One of the measures nipple
mented a constitutional amend
ment approved by voters in 1860
replacing the Baltimore City's
police and magistrate courts with
new municipal court
The number of judges was to
be expanded from IL to Is on
June ! at which time the courts
powers also would have been
broadcned and be fully stated
with court personnel.
The Savings and Loan Regula-
tory Act was drafted by a special
study commission and brought
under state regulation for the frs
time the SIS billion savings and
loan industry in Maryland.
Tawes said the legislature can
get around the delay in this reg
ulation by granting such powers
TO the present Department of AS
easements and Taxation instead of
creating a new Savings and Loan
Board as provided in the Case
bill. New positions cannot be
created in an emergency bill.

The Air Force Is not ex-
pected to replace the Texas
Tower that fell into the ocean
this month. killing 28 men.
An Air Force spokesman said
no plans are being drawn for q
replacement. He said chang
ing techniques of war make 1t
almost certain the Air Force
will never build another.
The tower, q radar platform
standing on three stills planted
on the ocean bottom 80 miles
of the coast Of New York, was
designed to aid in the inter-
ception Of enemy planes.
Since bombers will be giving
away to missiles in the three
or four years it would take to
build another tower, the $25
million or $35 million the job
would cost doubtless will be
spent on some phase Of mis-
sile defense.
The other two Texas towers

going emergency inspection,
the Air Force said, but there
il nothing to indicate any
danger.
They stand in shallow water,
anchored to bedrock, and were
ifnpervious to storms that dam
aged the lost tower.
The Air Force still does moi
know Just what happened that
stormy Sunday, January IS
when two Of the platforms legs
broke off and dropped the
tower into the icy sea. Inspec-
tion Of the broken tower has
been held up the last few days
because Of rough weather

as possible. until the bodies OF
the victims are found.

giving him a dual role assign
ment.
However. Mr.. Macy's duties
are expected to differ from
Mr.. Young's in a number of
ways, which will not impose
the heavy burden that wore
down the latter in his dual role.
Mr.. Macy will serve as Mr.,
Kennedy's adviser on personnel
and civil service matters relat-
ing to the merit system and its
operation. Such things as Gov
ernment security program mat
ters. fund raising. ETC., will
probably be handled by other
agencies. For example, the
Budget Bureau has a special
unit dealing with Federal per-
sonnel problems, including non
civil service matters.
At any rate. Mr.. Macy's dual
role as csc chairman and
adviser to the President on civil
service matters will greatly
strengthen not only his hand
but the influence of the csc
as well in framing the Govern.
ment's personnel policy. The

Prestige Polls
ByuS!A Barred
ny the Associated Presa


Two Government polls which
said United States prestige de-
clined last year in some parts
of the world were made public
today on orders from President
Kennedy.
The studies released by the
United States Information
Agency had figured in the 1860
election campaign. Much Of the
two foreign opinion samplings
had been published by several
newspapers before the Noveln-
ber election.
Secrecy labels were left on
similar studies conducted in
the past.
One Of the studies, dated
October 10, 1860, says that
people in most parts of the free
world believe that Russia Is
ahead Of America In space
achievements and will lead in
space 10 years from now.
Slide After Paris Collapse
The other, dated June, 1860,
states that after the collapse Of
the Paris summit conference
last May public opinion toward
the United States declined in
Britain and France. But both
America and President Eisen-
hover continued to stand far
ahead in esteem compared with
Russia and Premier Khru-
shchev, who also lost in public
favor.
The documents were referred
to frequently in the 1860 cam
paign argument over United
States prestige abroad.
Mr.. Kennedy said American
prestige had plunged under
Mr.. Eisenhower's administra-
ton. Vice President Nixon said
United States prestige had hit
Q new high.
Mr.. Kennedy demanded that
the USIA documents be made
public, but the Eisenhower ad-
ministration refused.
Officials connected with the
studies felt then-and many
still feel-that the reports
should be kept secret. They
contend that the studies are
the internal working tools for
the agency, needed to help
draw an accurate picture Of
how others see the United
States.
They say that the value of
many Of the studies would be
seriously preached. and opin-
ions would be less candidly ex-
pressed, II the results were
opened to public scrutiny.
A third report which figured
in the campaign and was
leaked" to the press was dated
August 20. 1860, upnder the
heading Free World Views OF
the United States-USSR power
balance" The secrecy restric-
ton remains on that document.
The USIA acted after Mr.
Kennedy told q questioner at
his Wednesday night news con-
ference:
II do think that it would be
helpful to release the polls
which were discussed last fall" 4"
Mr.. Kennedy also said he
had no objection at all to re-
leasing the polls. or the re-
suits Of the polls.
A USIA spokesman said the
August 20 document, still with
held. il not . poll but rather
o broader-ranging study which
includes analysis.
Five Countries Covered
The study on free world opin-
ion about the United States
and Soviet space programs,
based on surveys in Britain,
West Germany, France. Italy
and Norway. includes these
statements:
Public opinion in most parts
of the free world believes that
the Soviet Union Is ahead of

hopes to develop a staff of
prosecutors who are fully
aware of what the appellate
court has ordered in such con-
troversial legal matters as in
sanity, search and seizure,
probable cause for arrest and
confessions.
He believes that, once his
staff members have had this
indoctrination by actually ar
guing appeals for the Govern
ment in defense of lower court
verdicts, they will be better
prepared to minimize reversals
of guilty verdicts by the appel
late court.
Prosecutor Shifted
AS a start, he has already
ordered the transfer of one
prosecutor from the criminal
division to the appellat e
division.
And he has brought in 13 new
prosecutors who can be trained
in the pattern he has drawn
up. Some five existing vacan-
cies have yet to be filled on
his staff.
In prior years there was a
consistent rotation from the
Municipal Court division of the
United States Attorneys office
to the appellate division, plus
some transfer from the appel
late to the criminal division.
Thus the innovation will be
rotation from criminal to ap-
pellate.
Mr.. AcheSon, who stepped
into his present job from a
background made up almost ex-
cluSively of civil practice in a
private law firm here, has
taken other steps aimed at re-
organizing his office.
Handle Cases Themselves
For instance, he and his
principal assistant, Charles T.
Duncan, already have plunged
into the job of actually han
ding various types of cases
themselves. not content to be
simply administrators.
Mr.. AcheSon said Mr.. Dun
can will operate as a true dep
uty by sharing my work load
in almost every field"-from
personnel to correspondence
and supervision Of legal and
Legislative work.
If I get involved in a case,
he can step in and take over
and vice versa" the prosecutor
said.
He and his chief aide already
have argued cases in person
before the appellate court. and
Mr.. Duncan recently took part
in a major criminal trial with
another prosecutor.

to take over actual prosecu-
tion of criminal trials in Dis
