Burk Bill fuels fury as speed limit hike debated
Lawmakers clash over a Burke Bill to raise the speed limit from 55 to 65 on non access highways amid strong objections. A separate motor vehicle measure allowing passing on the right on one way streets and dual highways was enacted and sent to the governor. University of Maryland President Wilson H Elkins urged higher faculty pay to halt turnover and keep pace with peer schools. The plan targets a 41 percent rise in a $2 523 450 budget increase, lifting instructor salaries from about 4 385 to 4 500–5 500 and professors from 6 885 to 9 000–10 750, citing impending enrollment growth and early retirements.

Separate dispatches describe a Matador guided missile escaping ground controls from Holloman AFB and progressing toward Colorado or Utah, with sightings and an unresolved search, while political moves in Maryland address a proposed replacement of the commission and possible budget cuts.
