Now, with regard 70 what has happened sinde then,
Hill has been reemployed mot by the judiciary Com
mittee because the Judiciary Committee could not intro
duce the resolution to hire him, the members OF the judi
ciary Committee did not vote on him) it was voted on by
the Legislature, as a whole, and it was not passed unanl-
aousIy as Senator Reese tried to put into therecord. i
was passed by a one-vote majority, I believe, two OF the
Senator'S were absent. Senator Guadalupe had asked for
he right to register his vote on the report that Mrf1ll had
submitted. He had asked for it and had been promised it.
The moment he turned his back and went toWashington
tie thing was pulled out here with a show OF thought and
another bill was introduced "a bill was introduced by the
majority Senators, with the majority senators name on,
to rehire Mr.. Hill for $1,000; he was not rehired this time
ry the Judiciary Committee.
So, certainly, Mr.. President, and don't care how
much you talk, this gentleman is an employee Of the Lee
gisIature. II is the Legislature that is paying him $1,000 per
year, and the salary is not important land when q senator
says, why, is Senator de Lugo getting so upset, evidently
he can dishit out but can't take It'll
Mr.. Chairman you know that / am one senator that
has not come on this floor Of the Legislature, during this
session, to make any remarks about what any other sena-

answer it outside, but in this case, / bring it before the Lee
gislature because think it is the business OF the Legsla-

Mr.. MADURO MI. President.
THE PRESIDENTS: Senator Maduro.
MR.. MADURO: / just wish to add this to what rs
already been said, which I think is important because I
think Senator de Lugo is baSing his request Tor cenSure
on the fact that Mr.. Hill is an employees. / think 1t has al
ready been stated here that Mr.. Hill is not an employee.
All the members of the Judiciary Committee know that
Nh. Hill was working here under contract Letters. were
sent to them to that effect-Stating all OF Mr.. Hills quallh-
cations for the job. They were very well familiar with 1t
and they were no objections raised at all as to Mr.. Hills
qualifications for the Job.
Mr.. Hill was contracted to do a specific Job, which he
has been doing and whichthe contract spells out. The CON
tract is on file with the Legislature and any member can
90 there and look at it, Mr.. Hill, as / std before, if he were
an employee of the Legislature it would be proper for the
Chairman to censure him as employee Of theIegislature
Legally there is a definite difference in relationship be-
tween an employee and employer and a contractee and
contractor and an employee. There are two different types
Of relationships. So, feel that Mr.. Hill cannot be treated
as an. employee under these circumstances. That's all !
have to say.
MR.. DE LUGO: MI. President.
HI PRESIDENT: Senator de Lugo.
MR.. DE LUGO: I'd like to set the Record straight
on a number of misstatements that have been made to mis-
INFORM or mlslead people.
The members of the Judiciary Committee did sign a
piece Of paper. # was a little piece Of paper that the Chair
man Of the Judiciary Committee came around with on the
closing day of the session saying that-We had not hired
anybody; we had passed a Resolution for $500 to make
a study of the ode-and this little piece Of paper asked
that we give the power to the Chairman-since we were
going back to Saint Croix-tO hire a competent, legal adj
visor to revamp. the Code. We signed it. We signed it in
good faith believing that the Chairman was going out and
hire experts or people qualified to do this job.
Now, with regard to what has happened since then,
tee gets up here and says that he sent to the members-of
the Judiciary COMMITTEES a letter with Mr.. HILLS %qualifca-
tons, and there was no objections, it gives the impression
like a person who was looking for the job and we had a
right to pass on it. The minute that we had signed away
our rights (wesigned away our rights by letting the Chair
man use his discretion then, he hired Mr.. Hill and after
hired and what his wonderful qualifications were. So it
was no use our saying anything. The matter was already
clnsed and that's the fact and let the Record show that.

DIR. ANDUZE: Okay! AS long as Senator Reese has
made that point clear, would take it that that was his in
tention. However, the other things that he and Senator
Gomezh have said make it clear in my mind that either they
have completely missed the point brohght out by Sena-
tor de Lugo, or they were just not paying attention.

5Auto Firms
Face Charges

Eleven Montgomery County
auto statesmen, kept idle yes
terday by the Sunday blue
laws, went shopping in neigh
boring Prince Georges County,
and Swore out warrants against
five auto firms for violations
of Maryland's closing law.
Justice of the Peace George
V. Freaner swore out the war
rants when the statesmen pro-
duced evidence that they had
placed deposits for the pur-
chase of five 1862 automobiles
in Prince Georges.
Frank Tobin, a salesman Cor
Cranson Rambler, Inc, of
Bethesda, said the Montgom-
cry statesmen had found many
other car agencies doing busi-
ness yesterday. He said a rul-
ing by Magistrate Freaner that
deposits are needed as evi-
dence slowed down the sales
mems activities.
I'VE put down deposits of $50
or S25-whatever we had in our
pockets" Mr.. Tobin said. 1--WE
don't know now if we own those
cars or not"
Mr.. Tobin explained that the
statesmen acted because they
want uniform enforcement of
the old Blue Law to keep them
from losing money. Cranson
Rambler was closed yesterday
after it had been charged the
previous Sunday with violating
the Blue Laws.
I'VE don't mind not working
on Sundays" Mr.. Tobin said.
"but if our customers can take
a 15-minute trip to Prince
Georges County and buy their
cars on Sunday, then we will
lose commissions"
Magistrate Freaner said to-
day the warrants sworn in Hy-
attsville yesterday named the
following agencies: Banning &
Sons, Lustine-NicholSon and
HyattSville Buick, all of Hyatts-
vile; Sellers Sales and Service,
Riverdale, and Restorff Motors,
College Park.
Mr.. Tobin said the Mont
gomery salesmen had difficulty
obtaining the warrants in
Prince Georges because the law
is little known. Al Cranson,
owner of Cranson Rambler,
said one justice of the peace in
Prince Georges refused to swear
out warrants because he said
there was no such law.

Catholics Back
Censorship for
Pornoqruphy

Citing the terrifying" amount
of pornography circulated each
year in this country, the Arch
diocese of Washington declared
yesterday that civil authorities
are authorized to prevent the
sale of books and magazines
that could do harm to the souls
of the people.
In a statement read at all
masses in Catholic churches in
Washington and nearby Mary
land, the archdiocese urged
that there be no confusion
between liberty and license.
1T is true, in America, we
cherish liberty" the statement
said. But that does not mean
a person should be permitted to
sell indecent literature any more
than he should be permitted to
peddle narcotics"
"It is a shallow argument to
say that laws against obscene
books and periodicals are i'm
practical because it is impos-
sible to come to a common
agreement as to what is OBJ
scene in literature" the state
ment continued. 1T is like try
ing to prove that laws regulat-
ing the speed of motorists
should not be passed because
there are many views concern
ing what speed is safe"
"One of the rights and duties
of the authorities is un-
doubtedly to protect people
against moral contagion," the
statement said.

After A-Wur

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20 (AP) d.
There no longer would be a
United States or a Soviet Union
if the two nations become in
volved in a nuclear war, a
Johns Hopkinse University SCI
enlist says.
DR.. H. Bentley Glass, a gene
ticist and a professor of bio
logy, said Saturday about 80
per cent of American citizens
and rs per cent of the Soviet
Unions population would die
in or as a result of a nuclear
conflict.
Starvation would claim the
lives of survivors of such a war,
because food growing in the
fields no longer could be safely
consumed, and no new food
could be grown for several
years.
In addition, many persons
would suffer from radiation
sickness, and most of the fe-
males might be sterile after
exposure to radiation.
For this reason, DR.. Glass
said all of the children in the
United States should be sent
to the Southern Hemisphere
if there is a serious threat of
war.
Il cannot conceive of a cold
blooded decision being made
to embark upon nuclear war" "
said DR.. Glass, a member of
the Advisory Committee for
Biology and Medicine of the
Atomic Energy Commission. He
also is member of the Genet
les Committee of the National
Academy of Sciences.
The Hopkins professor said
he was not a pacifist, that he
was merely trying to be a
realist."
Russian scientists also real
ize what lies ahead in event
of nuclear war" DR.. Glass
answered.
The first target of each side
would be the others missile
sites and strategic air fields,
and the second probably would
be centers of communications,
DR.. Glass said.
Then it would be over" he
declared. Both countries would
be destroyed"

Something new and differ
ent is scheduled to take place
in the culinary world next
week all because of one mans
, interest in baking and bakers
in general.
Mr.. Charlie While, a part
ner in the Albert M. Briggs
Co., is the man who sparked
the idea of a commercial
baking exhibit because he
feels baking is becoming a
losing craft"
His interest was triggered
by an item he read in the
London Times while vaca-
tioning in England this
spring. The column, headed
whats Happening in Lon
don Today" gave a rundown
on the activities of the Royal
family then went on to a
paragraph on what the
Bakers Are Doing"
Curious as to just what the
bakers were up to, he found
his way to Claxton House
and discovered the British
bakers we're holding their an
nual confectioners' display.

baking exhibit" explains Mr..
While. Baked goods from all
over the British Isles-Wales.
ireland, Scotland-had been
flown in that morning for
entry in the contest. The
products were judged by the
public.
Mr.. While was so intrigued
with this idea that on re-
turning home he did a bit
of researching on his own.
He found that such a ven-
ture had never been under
taken here in Washington
nor could he determine that
it had ever been done any,
where else in the United
States.
Eventually he contacted
the Retail Bakers Association
of Washington, captured
their interest in a similar
project, with the result that
on June 5 the association
will sponsor an exhibit OF
Danish pastry, The exhibit
will be held in the George
town restaurant Of Hecht's
downtown store.
The committee from the
association decided on the
idea of one item - Danish
pastry-reasoning this would
attract a larger number OF
participating bakers. Seven
