AS drafted, the legislation
introduced by Republican Sen

would prohibit closed sessions
of "the General Assembly and
of its committees, and meet

ton and their effect on local
government operation.
Mr.. HudginS' resolution call
ing for the study and recon-
mendations by the commission
before the next Assembly meets
in 1864 was the first-and
milder-part of a two-ply plan
by the rural and suburban del
egates.
The second part, which may
oe introduced next week, would
call for a two-year truce on
annexation and city-county
merger moves while the COM
mission is making its study and
preparing it's recommendations.
Harrison Hints Approval
Mr.. Hudgin'S study proposal
received a hint of approval
from Gov. Harrison at his
morning news conference. Gov.
Harrison said he thought the
problems of annexation require
a great deal more study but
he didn't specifically indorse
the idea of a State commission
undertaking the job at this
time.
Introduction of the annexa-
ton study resolution came dur
ing a brief assembly session
in the House as both branches
steered clear of any heavy floor
debate that would delay the
start of week end trips home
The annexation study idea
may get favorable treatment
at the hands of the assembly
if it isn't tied too closely to
the annexation moratorium
plan which the country boys
say they will offer.
Opens Sessions Proposed
There is a substantial diff
ference of opinion among the
rual delegates whether the two
year moratorium bill should
try to stall annexation suits al
ready instituted.

wealth and its political sub
divisions to conduct their bust.

The differences between
Russian and American mems
wear fashions were dramatized
here yesterday by an advance
contingent of some 5000 mems
retail clothiers coming to
Washington next week for a
convention.
To emphasize the buy" the
American male receives in the
clothes he wears, the National
Association of Retail ClothierS
and Furnishers staged a press
conference at which better
grade" mems wear purchased
in Moscow's famed GUM store
was modelled alongside medium
quality" clothes manufactured
in the United States and sold
in retail stores across the
Nation.
A slim, tall dark-haired
model entered the conference
room at the Shoreham Hotel
wearing a light grey suit. The
wide-lapel, two button jacket
fit snugly on the models
shoulders, but the pants looked
like they belonged on a man
of Khrushchev's build.
Correct Purchase
The associations spokesman,
Ben Stern, assured that the
suit had been purchased in the
correct size for the model. He
pointed out special features,
such as canvas edging to keep
the pants cuffs from fraying
and extra buttons sewed on the
inside pocket of the jacket.
Someone suggested that the
suit must be built for long
wear. "They have to make
them so they wear forever.
They work so long for it,"
quipped Edward H. Grauer, a
director of the association and
head of a chain of % mems
ste 'es in northern California.

ment statistics, showed that
Ivan, the average Russian fac
tory werker, would have to
work 370 hours to earn the 141
rubles (about $155) the suit
being modelled cost.

Bill to Urge Jousting
As Official State Sport

the State association in 1850.
Numerous local clubs have been
formed to hold regional meets
and coordinate their activities
with the state association.
Previously the sport was less
organized, but has been held
for years in rural areas. The
tournaments have some of the
trappings of old but none of
the rough tactics of medieval
days when knights knocked
each other off their horses.
Miss Bartram notes that,
significantly, the diverse side
of the Maryland seal depicts
Lord Baltimore in full medieval
armor mounted on a rearing
! charger.
Uses Names Of Farms
The knights, ranging in age
from 8 to So, ride under the
name of their farm or home
town, such as Knight of Noble
Meadows"
They wear either the bright
orange and black shirts of the
State association, q sash from
their fair ladies, or family
colorS.
A State official, sometimes
the Governor, delivers a charge
to them before they start rid
ing down the straightaway
courses to spear the tiny rings
The winner crowns his lady
the Queen of Love and
Beauty"
Recently the sport has been
getting some national atten-
ton through promotion by the
tourist division of the Mary
land Department Of Economic
Development.

carry commuters 10 ana from
Washington.
But the Park Service, if it
gets the highway, wants to
make a handicapped parkway
of it and apparently has no
intention of making the cor
ridor available for commuter
traffic.
T. Sutton Jet, superin-
tendent of National Capital
Parks, said that If the Park
Service acquires the road, it
will be given "a park-life ap-
pearance" much like the serv-
ices other parkways.
SNo discussions have been
held, he said, concerning max
ing the corridor available for
commuter use.
1T doesn't seem to be con-
sistent at all with our way of
doing things" he said.
Informal Pact
Legislation has been intro
duced in Congress which would
create a National Capital Air
ports Corp. to operate Dulles
as well as National Airport.
The bill provides that the
Federal Aviation Agency, which
now owns the airport and the
access road, could turn the road
over to q State or Federal
agency, and an informal agree
ment has been reached that the
road would go to the Park
Service if the bill passes.

County Legislators
Hit River Bend Dam
Montgomery
Will Request
Public Hearings
BY PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-Leg-
islation which would put Mary
land on record in favor of a
high-level dam at River Bend
has drawn heavy opposition
from Montgomery County
legislators.
A resolution asking the Fed
eral Government to undertake
the Potomac River project i'm
mediately was introduced in
the General Assembly Wednes-
day. 1t is backed by the Legis-
lative Council and a legislative
committee headed by Delegate
Hervey Machen, Democrat of
Prince Georges.
Delegate Blair Lee III, head
of the Montgomery delegation,
said yesterday his county will
ask for a public hearing on the
resolution. The resolution is
under consideration by the
House Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Lee said he considered
the resolution completely pre-
mature" He said final recon-
mendations on development Of
the Potomac River have not
yet been made by the Army
Corps of Engineers.
Would Flood Large Area
The high-level dam would
flood thousands of acres of
land in Virginia and Maryland,
particularly in Montgomery
and Loudoun Counties. 1t also
would wipe out a stretch of
the proposed Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Park.
Montgomery Delegates said
they will ask that the public
hearing be scheduled at night
so county residents will have a
better chance to come to An
napolis to testify.
The resolution says the small
er, upstream reservoirs which
have been proposed are not
likely to meet the water needs
of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area.
An Observation-Disclosures bill
! to stiffen requirements for
referenda petitions also ap-
peared to be in trouble.
The measure, one of six items
on Gov. TaweS' legislative pro-
gram at the current 30-day
session, suffered surprise set
back in the Senate Judicial
Proceedings Committee Thurs
day.
On reconsideration yester-
day, the committee agreed to
wait until a public hearing
Tuesday before taking final &C
ton. But the strong objections
raised against the current prog
visions of the bill make major
! revisions a necessity.
| Senator Frederick c. Malkus,
jr., Democrat of Dorchester,
the committee chairman, also
indicated he would seek to
strengthen the referenda law
by putting in sitter penalties
for fraud and for paying money
to obtain petition signatures.
Increase Signers
The bill would amend the
State constitution to increase
the required number of sigma
lures on Statewide referenda
petitions from 10000 to the
equivalent of 10 per cent of the
previous gubernatorial vote.
Based on 1858 returns, a total
of 10000 signatures would be
needed to petition legislative
acts to the election ballot.
At present 10 per cent Of
the vote in a county or Balti-
more city is required for
local bills to be petitioned onto
the ballot.
Otherwise, there was little
action in the General Assembly
yesterday as the lawmakers
wound up their first week and
departed for a week end at
home. The Senate was in ses-
sion only 10 minutes and the
House just three minutes
longer.

The Importance Of Music
Should Be Considered

Usually we think Of dec
Grating for the eye, but have
you ever thought Of decorat-
ing for the ear too? Since
it has been proven that
music hath charms to
soothe, etc." it is time we
put a little more harmony
into the home and at the
same time help to add some
variety to our fundamental
pieces Of furniture.
The Importance of music
in today's scheme of things
was brought home to me re-
Gently when I took a watch
to be repaired. Behind the
little reception room was a
workshop where the watch
repairers, busy over the in
tricate innards of watches,
listened to the swinging
rhythm of Benny Goodman.
Then as I passed a restau-
rant later on, one which
had its kitchen right off the
sidewalk Bohemian, of
course) the chef was carving
to the happy tempo Of a gay
polka.
A small organ, a spinet
piano, a recorder, harmonica,
banjo anything musical
can bring a lot of fun into
a home. Of course a hi-fi
set is the thing, I guess, but
a simple radio tuned in to
a musical station can make
work seem to go faster. Or
a record player, which may be
set in a piece of furniture,
or disguised along with the
television set, can be a boon
to both eye and ear. So, do
plan some space for some
music in your life. and don't
be afraid to hum along while
you work!
