start working very hard for one
Of the bills.
II might be worthwhile at
this stage TO look at the range
Of bills already in the hopper
or looming on the horizon in adj
dition TO the Hanson bill noted
above:
l. The Pine-Northrop bill
IS. B. 76), introduced by the
Senators from Baltimore and
Montgomery Counties. A rather
lengthy and complicated consti-
tutional amendment, which
would have the effect of adding
20 seats in the House-four for
Baltimore County, three each
for Montgomery and Prince
Georges, two each for Anne
Arundel and the Bird and 5th
Districts Of Baltimore City, and
one each for Hartford, Charles,
Howard and ST. Mary's coun-
ties.
2. The Hess bill, by the Dele
gate from Hartford County. who
last year was an adamant oppo-
nent of the old Walsh Commits
sion bin. 1t would do virtually
the same thing as the Pine
Northrop bill by the simple de-
vice Of changing the numbers
In the famous frozen" section
of the Constitution. II would
also add one additional Dele
gate for Cecil County. II would
also provide that the Governor
could appoint the q new Dele
gates shortly after ratification
Of the amendment. At this writ
ing, I do not know II the Gov
ernor would have a free hand
or would be bound by selections
of the various State Central
Committees - presumably the
latter.
3. The Baer-Robinson bills
IS. B. 81 and H. B. 81, intro
duced by the Senator from the
5th Baltimore District and the
Delegate from the 4th Balti-
more District. This is the old
chestnut for calling a constitu-
tional convention. 1t Is not a
constitutional amendment itself
and therefore needs only
simple majority rather than a
three-fifths majority. Last year
1t passed the House but failed
in the Senate. Its weakness Is
that it affords no assurance
that the convention would pro.

is that two schools of division.

faithful, places all its trust in
creativity in the realm of col

effort in our schools to stress
the deeper personal responsible
ties inherent in an increasingly
complex society. Social studies
have slipped into the twilight
zone Of attention. Unnoticed In
the hubbub over our test

the range. Our social science

Contract Is Let
For Standpipe

A S175,146 contract for con-
struction of a 2.62 million-gal-
lon standpipe in Bradley Hills,
Bethesda, was awarded this
week to the Chicago Bridge and
Iron Co., Philadelphia, lowest of
four bidders.
Designed to provide neces-
sary additional filtered water
storage to meet peak consump-
ton requirements in the west
ern suburban area, the new ia
cility will be located on the
same site now occupied by an
existing 2.5 million gallon
standpipe.
The new tank will boost stor-
age capacity on the site to more
than five million gallons. The
contract calls for completion in
the spring, so that the second
standpipe should be ready TO
help meet the peak consump-
ton periods during the summer
of 1861.

Albert K. Herring, Chair
man of the Potomac River
D e v elopment Association,
has voiced strong opposition
to a recent recommendation
by the Secretary of the Interior
that the GEO Canal area from
Seneca to Cumberland be desig-
mated by presidential proclama-
ton as a national monument.
In a statement released to the
press, Herring said: Il regret
TO learn that the outgoing ad.
ministration would attempt to
sneak through a presidential
proclamation, to accomplish
something that the last two ses-
sion of Congress failed to pass.
Congress failed to approve a

4. The Staten bin, by the Del
egate from Baltimore County.
Repeatedly it would create add.
tionaI Legislative districts within
the larger counties exactly
what was done many years ago
for Baltimore City. For in.
stance, Montgomery County
would have two legislative dis.
tr1cts, just as the City now has
six. That would presumably
mean two State Senator's and IL
Delegates for the County as a
whole.
5. The MandeI bill, by the
chairman Of the City Delega-
ton, is a variation Of the Staten
bill and may even be combined
with it. 1t would add a new leg
islative district for the City In
addition to the new ones for
the four suburban counties.
That is the lineup at present,
but there may be more lurking
in the bushes. So far, nobody
has thought of busting off the
ultra-modest Walsh bill from
last session.
The constitutional convention
bills, as noted above, have the
charm Of needing only a simple
majority to pass, but in my
book they have very little else
to commend them. / hope that
their revival by Messrs. Baer
and Robinson does not mean
that the PoIlack.D'AIesandrO
faction from the City Is going
to walk out on us once again.
The Staten-Mandel bill has
one strong point in it's favor. It
would provide urban and subur-
ban expansion In the Senate las
well as the House, by a method
that is already traditional in
Maryland. Even the most ar
dent defender Of the Federal
system could hardly object at
thic late date to the creation
of new legislative districts.
Nevertheless, it is the Pine
Northrop Bill that carries the
main hopes Of the reapportion-
ment advocates. 1t is really
little more than an expansion
and a speeding-up Of last years
Walsh bill, and / see no reason
why Governor Tawes should
not support 1t to the hiIt.

Judge Homer c. Eber-

Thomas claimed he al
most lost the sight of an eye
injured by a golf ball
hooked by Shaw.
The judge wrote: Even
so-called experts hook end
slice occasionally. To hold
that a golf player was neg
ligent merely because the
ball did not travel in a
straight line, as intended by
him, would be imposing
upon him a greater outy of
care than the Creator en-
dowed him with the facul-
ties to carry out"
