RivuI Claims
'MisIeudinq'

BALTIMORE. Dec. (AP).-
David Hume, a candidate for
Governor in the Maryland Dem
ocratic primary, discounted as
misleading today claims that
the Tawes administration has
improved the savings and loan
industry and mental health
facilities.
you have heard about the
savings and loan work Of the
Governor" Mr.. Hume told the
Teen-age Democratic Club of
Maryland, but what you have
not been told is that the Gov
ernor vetoed the legislation
when 1t was first presented to
him. E"
Mr.. Hume's reference was
to a new savings and loan reg
ulatory law approved during
a special session of the Cen
eral Assembly last June.
Since the law went into ef-
feet, three State-chartered, un-
insured savings and loan asso-
Citations have been ordered into
receivership. and two others
are being managed by a court
appointed conservator.
Despite Gov. Tawes' claims of
progress in mental health, Mr..
Hume said, the September is

says that not one mental hos
pital in Maryland could be ac-
credited"
Mr.. Hume served as treasurer
Of the Maryland Democratic
Party until late 1860 when he
resigned after a rift with Gov.
Tawes over legalized gambling
in Southern Marylad, an issue
which he cited again today.
You have been told that
Gov. Tawes has a good record,
but you have not been told
that the slot machines have
been called a local ISSUE and
that slots exist only by virtue
of the political payoff," said
the Bryantown attorney.

Maryland Democratic Central
Committee.

A bill which would prevent
further annexation of Fairfax
County will be introduced in
the General Assembly early
next year.
The proposed new law would
give Fairfax the same protec-
ton against annexation that
Arlington now enjoys and
would, in fact, become a part
of the same legislation.
Fairfax-Falls Church State
Senator John A. K. Donovan,
author Of the bill, said he felt
it had "a good chance" of being
approved by both houses.
The bill would provide that
no segment of a county could
be annexed If three conditions
applied to the county.
The county would have to
have adopted one of the So
called optional forms" of gov
ernment county executive,
county manager or urban
county-have a population of at
least 500 residents per square
mile and have established a
water authority.
Could Meet Conditions
Although the law would ap-
ply theoretically to any county
in Virginia, actually only Fair
fax County could meet all three
conditions. Fairfax has a
county executive form of gov
ernment, an adequate popula-
ton and a water authority.
For that reason, Senator DON
ovan said, legislators from other
areas in the State would not be
inclined to oppose the bill.
Fairfax has for years at
tempted to get legislation
through the General Assembly
which would protect it from re-
peated attempts Of nearby cities
and internal towns to annex its
land.
The county in the past has
tried unsuccessfully to get pro-
lection from annexation.
Several years ago county Of
ficials supported a new form of
government-the urban-county
plan-to prevent annexation.
Removed Protection
The General Assembly ap-
proved the legislation but only
after removing the protection
against annexation.
Last summer the Board of
County Supervisors signed a
consolidation agreement with
the tiny town Of Clifton that
would have made Fairfax a city.
thereby barring annexation. Cir
cult Judge Paul E. Brown set
a referendum for the July
Democratic primary, then called
it off because Of inconsistencies
in the consolidation statute.

the only Fairfax legislator to
oppose that consolidation, said

a fibrous board. That selimi-
