Referendulns
To Be Held
Next Year
Attorney General
Rules that Petitions
Met all Requirements

Referendum will be held
next year throughout the
state on both the creation Of
the new Maryland Eighth
Congressional District and
the latest unemployment COM
pensation measure enacted by
the General Assembly this
spring.
Official go-ahead for a popu-
lar vote on the two controver-
sial laws came late last week
from Attorney General Thomas
B. Finan, who announced that
widespread drives for sigma
lures on petitions for referen-
dunn on the measures were sue
cessful.
Leader in the petition drive
to put the redistricting bill to
public vote was the Maryland
League of Women Voters, who
obtained far more than the nee
cessary 10000 signatures re-
quired.
Also active in the campaign
was the Republican State Cen
trail Committee which carried
the petition drive to voters
through precinct workers.
Opponents of the redistricting
measure claim it gives a dispro-
portionate voice to the less
populous areas of the state and
neglects to remedy existing I'M
fair representation for heavily
populated Montgomery and Bal
timore Counties.
Forcing of the measure to
referendum will require Mary
lands new Eighth District Con-
gresham to be elected on an at
large basis in November, 1862.
The new unemployment COM
pensation law will go to the
voters as a result of the success
full petition drive by forces of
organized labor. The pay bill,
the AFL-CIO feels, works a
hardship on the states unem-
ployed by making requirements
for compensation more strin-
gent.
The labor organization OPP
posed the measure when it |
came before the General Assem-
bly, this year.
