ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10
Maryland Attorney General
Thomas B. Finan said today
theYe is not sufficient basis
under existing law to take legal
action against a controversial
insurance company operated by
three State legislators.
The firm, Security Financial
Insurance Corp, which insures
deposits in savings and loan
associations, has been the SUBJ
ject of a bitter fight in the
General Assembly. A bill
which would curb its operation
is pending in the Assembly.
The bill, introduced by Dele
gate Joseph D. Tydings, Demo-
crat of Hartford, would prohibit
the firm from inSuring deposits
in any one savings and loan
association in excess of 10 per
cent of Security Financial'S
assets. Mr.. Tydings claimed
the company has written more
insurance than it can safely
carry.

conference Monday that the

John Kenkel, chief counsel
for the WSSC. said the agency
hoped a restaurant or a boat
sales office could be established
by a new lease of the rezoned
parcel.
In another zonlng action. the
commissioners decided to take
under consideration a proposal
by the Steuart Oil Co. to rezone
to commercial use "a rural
acres located between the north
and south bound lanes of U. S.
Route 30l near Mitchellville.
Area residents said they
feared an unsightly truck re-
pair center would be con-
structed there.
Mrs. Mildred Brockdorff, who
said her family had lived in
the area since the 18th century
asked the commissioners: Are
we going to have another U. S.
! on U. S. SOL? Gas stations
are going up all around. Just
how many gas stations are
needed?"

CrumpsL Lose
In Appeal
To Get Boy

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 16 (AP)
"A 312-year-old youngster,
who has been the center Of
q lengthy custody fight, will
remain in the house Of the
Arthur P. Montgomerys Of
Salisbury under a ruling handed
down yesterday in the Court
Of Appeals.
The high court affirmed a
Wicomico County Court de-
cision denying custody of the
child to Lloyd r. Crump and
his wife, who served as the
youngsters foster parents for
the first 18 months Of his life.
The child, Johnnie, was
placed in the Crump home by
the Montgomery County We'll
fare Board on June 7, 1857,
when he was 7 days old. He was
removed by the same group on
December II, 1858, and moved
to the Arthur Montgomery
home in Wicomico County.
The Montgomerys later were
permitted to adopt the child by
the Wicomico County Court
after the Crumps had been
denied adoption rights by the
Montgomery Welfare Board
and County Court.
The case came up in the
high court at its last session
but was remanded for further
proceedings.
The Crumps had commended
1.-The best interest Of the child
require that he be returned to
his original home with the
Crumps."

WSSC Would Give Up
Marina to Planners

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission wants to
get out of the boat-docking
business and concentrate on
laying sewer and water lines.
The commission hopes to talk
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
into assuming operation of the
Prince Georges Marina. Since
last April, the WSSC has man
aged the 100000 facility, which
is located on a branch of the
Anacostia River near Bladens-
burg.
A WSSC official said repre-
sentatives of the commission
hope to meet next week with
the planners to discuss the
marina operation.
James J. Lynch, WSSC treas
urer. said that the marina now
has l43 boat slips and that $50
more could be built there at
a cost of up to $150,000.
WSSC hopes for the marina
were revealed yesterday at a
coming hearing of the Prince

Bay Pollution
Study Urged
By Landlord

Representative Landlord,
Democrat Of Maryland, today
proposed a pollution study in
Chesapeake Bay.
In a statement from the Con-
gresham to the House Public
Works Committee, Mr.. Lark
ford Endorsed a bill which
seeks to extend and broaden
the Water Pollution Control
Act.
Mr.. Landlord recommended
that a study of pollution in
Chesapeake Bay be undertaken
and also proposed that Mary
land serve as location for a
regional study center proposed
in the bill.
He said pollution problems
created by large Federal in
stallations in Southern Mary
land have become virtually
insurmountable for many OF
our local counties"
Mr.. Landlord added that it
was unfair to expect such
communities to defray the en-
tire cost of water pollution con-
troll"
A spokesman for Mr.. Lank-
ford also read into the record
a statement from Maryland
Gov. TaweS.
Gov. Tawes backed the Lank-
ford proposal for a study of
pollution and added that "un-
fortunately. all too many areas
Of the Bay have shown evidence
Of increasing pollution"
The pollution hearing is be-
ing conducted by Representa-
tive Blatnik, Democrat Of Min
nesota, chairman Of the
subcommittee on rivers and
harbors of the House Public
Works Committee.

Joseph De Paul, attorney for
the GEM. dealer, said the
only purpose OF the bill is to
put CAST out of business" be-
cause it sells liquor cheaper
than other stores in Prince
Georges. He charged that the
proposed legislation would be
protecting private interests
rather than the public"
He said the legislation was
initiated by the package deal
erS association. What it
amounts to is that the package
dealers don't want anyone to
sell cheaper" he said.
He called the bill special
legislation to fix prices"
The bill would prohibit a
license being issued to any store
which limits its clientele. Only
GEM. falls within the cate
CORY because it is. restricted to
Government employees, although
MI. De Paul said the store has
such a wide membership that
it is public in nature"
Joseph L. Nellis, general
counsel for the GEM. stores,
last night sent a letter to SEN
ate President George w. Della
registering "a protest of the
strongest nature" against the
bill.
He referred to the measure
as being evidently unconsti-
tutional" and said it was i'm
possible to understand how such
a proposed bill could be in
troduced based upon the COL
lusive request of a group of
competitors and directed solely
at one business.
Should the bill become law.
Mr.. Nellis said, GEM, Inc.
and its liquor licensee will take
every legal means available
to secure a judicial determine
ton holding such legislation
unconstitutional"

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. Is (AP).
An effort will be made today
to abolish Maryland's unit pri-
mary voting while Simultane-
ouSly increasing the number Of
delegates in the House of Dele
gates.
IF we're going to have re-
apportionment. this is a good
time to also get rid of the unit
primary" said Delegate Charles
w. CosS, Democrat of Wash
ington.
He will offer an amendment
to substitute popular vote
counting for the unit system
this afternoon when a reap
portionment bill comes up for
action.
Georgia is the only State be-
sides Maryland to pick candi-
dates by unit votes. In Maryland,
a candidate who polls the most
votes in one of the % coun-
ties or in the six districts Of
Baltimore City wins all the
unit votes equal to its number
Of representatives in the Legis-
lature.
FavOrite Can Lose
A Statewide popular vote
winner can, and has, lost the
nomination in the unit count.
MI. Cross said he is in favor
of reapportionment in the Leg
iSlature in principle. But he
objected that the proposal be-
fore the House would increase
the ability Of Baltimore City
and four large counties to nom
mate a candidate.
The city, Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Anne Arundel and
Baltimore Counties now have
10 of the II unit votes needed
for nomination.
Under the reapportionment
bill. they would have Sc Of the
necessary 81.
"A candidate for Governor
wouldn't have to even bother to
campaign in my county" said
Mr.. CoSs.
The reapportionment bill
would increase the number of
delegates from 1913 to IA and
keep the number of Senators
at 20.
The city and the four largest
counties would gain l6 of the
additional 81 House seats.
Gov. Tawes told a press con-
ference today that he believes
he can get the reapportionment
bill through the House. He said
if the bill gets through the
House, it would be lin a
stronger position in the Senate"
where it begged down.

necessary. Inc llInlC is now
set at 365.
The bill was introduced to
check the sale of liquor Ii
censes. Some repeatedly have
been sold for as high as $4,000.
The selling of liquor licenses
recently was criticized by a
county grand jury.
Representatives of the Prince
Georges Hotel and Restaurant
Association and the County
Package Dealers Association
protested lifting the freeze dur
ing a hearing before county
legislators.
They said many more res
taurants and package stores
would be established and that
this would not be good for bust
ness. They predicted that
rather than curing any prob
lens it would create more un-
desirable places.
Blair Smith, attorney for the
Hotel and Restaurant Associa-
ton, said reports of sale of
liquor licenses had been greatly
exaggerated. He said that since
1857 there had been only six
transfers Of licenses to new
ownerships in new locations.
Delegate Hervey Machen
commented that "a lot of sub
marginal places would go out OF
business if the freeze is lifted
Mrs. A. H. SidenSpinner of
College Heights, who is legisla-
tive chairman for the Prince
Georges WCTU, said her group
is concerned about the fla
grant use OF alcohol in our
county. She said the county
Should curb its use, not
broaden it."
Another proposed liquor bill,
drew a strong protest from
CAST Liquors, a packaged-
liquor dealer operating at the
new GEM. store in West Hy-
attsville.
