BALTIMORE, Mar. 1 (AP) -
Archbishop Lawrence j. She
han, spiritual head of Mary
lands 100000 Catholics, vipor-
ously condemned today all
racial segregation and prejudice
in his archdiocese.
In a 3,000-word letter pub
lished today in the diocesan
newspaper, the Catholic Re-
view, the 65-year-old arch
bishop banned all discrimina-
ton based on racial or social
origin from all Catholic schools.
churches, social organizations
and charitable institutions in
the archdiocese.
Archbishop Shehan said his
ban was 1.-The minimum that is
required of us as members of
ChriSt's church in this arch
diocese" He urged Catholics
to make indignation a part of
their personal relationships.
Here in our own State, re-
cent experience has shown that
much-very much-remains to
be DONE" the archbishop said.
An equal accommodations bill
now being studied by the Mary
land General Assembly has
been emasculated by amend
ments, he said.
He noted that an equal ac-
commodations ordinance in
Baltimore failed to gain sup
port from Catholic legislators
representing sections of the city
which are heavily Catholic.

Administration Bill
During the hearing, Mr.. Lowe
said, This was an administra-
ton bill when it was introduced,
and God knows it's one now"
He declined to elaborate on
the statement later.
David Hume, former guber-
Material candidate said the
amendment will make 1t even
harder for the people Of South
ern Maryland to adjust their
economies.
Mr.. Hume, who is credited
with getting the Governors
support behind the anti-slot
drive in last November's cleo
ton, said last night he was
disappointed but would stand
by the Governor.
THE Governor is in a better
position than I am to know
what can and cannot be done
in the Legislature" he said,
AS adopted yesterday, the
bill will take effect in July
1865. After a gradual reduc-
ton Of the number of machines
over a three-year period, all
slots will be prohibited by July
1868.

cides to do about that request,
he said. the council should
have the power TO halt extern
sion Of sewer lines or to desig-
nate certain lines as limited
access"
The issue revolves around
the contention of citizens
groups that the extension OF
sewer lines actually determines
which portions of the county
will be developed, and to what
density.
At a public hearing Wednes-
day, citizens said planning
functions should be under the
control Of the elected council
At present the council has veto
power over the extension OF
large sewer mains, but not over
the small, lateral sewers.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. L. Re-
publican State Senator Gilbert
Guide of Montgomery intro
duced legislation today to pro-
hibit bottle clubs in his home
county.
The bill would outlaw the
practice in restaurants and
other commercial establish
fnents of allowing patrons to
bring their own liquor or send
out for it. Many bottle clubs
have been established in the
last two years to get around
the county's stringent liquor
laws.
Senator Guides bill would
make 1t unlawful for any per-
son, club or organization con-
Quoting a profit-making busi-
ness to sell, dispense or have
liquor on the premises unless
1t has a license to do so.
The Senator said his bill
would exempt non-profit, fra
ternal organizations, which
would be permitted to continue
their bottle club operations.
=. Lockers Provided
Law enforcement officials
have complained that, since
the bottle clubs don't have
licenses, county authorities can
not regulate the clubs. There
is nothing in the law now that
prohibits establishments from
auowing patrons to bring their
own liquor or to send walters
out for it.
.Seme of the restaurants have
provided lockers in which
patrons keep their bottles.
Meanwhile, a move is under
way. with the approval of
Gov Tawes, to try to revive
asbill to set maximum financ-
ing charges on installment
sales and revolving credit
accounts.
Illegality Charged
The measure was turned
down Wednesday in the State
Senate by a 1910 vote as op-
ponents charged it would 'le-
galize something being prac-
ticed Illegally"
A motion to reconsider was
made today, but debate was
put off until Thursday.
senator john Clarence North
who tried to get the measure
passed, said yesterday there
was "skulduggery" behind the
defeat. He didn't amplify the
statement.

was recommended by a commits
