Maryland General Assembly Highlights In Gambling Debates
Maryland lawmakers debated gambling across jai alai horse racing and slot machines. A bill legalizing pari mutuel betting passed the Senate 26 to 1 and headed to the House. Virginians clashed with Maryland over casino plans near the Virginia shore and Pimlico racing moves to Laurel faced opposition. Tax proposals and advertising tax shifts drew House action, while a personal property tax plan, veto over repealing exemptions, and advertising receipts bills advanced. Aged studies and movie obscenity controls sparked debate, wiretap restrictions moved toward the attorney general, and welfare budget scrutiny continued.

Foreign Aid Rock Bottom and Debates Over Cuts
Secretary of State Dulles told Congress the foreign aid program of 3.942 billion dollars is a rock bottom request. A number of legislators push for sharp reductions while Dulles defends the program as vital, arguing cuts would “give away” nations, access to resources, and bases. He warns failure to act could shrink freedom to a beleaguered island amid a Soviet encirclement. The Maryland Cooperative Milk Producers meet Friday at Lord Baltimore Hall in Baltimore with a 9:00 a.m. start and a 12:30 luncheon. Walter Judd of Minnesota will speak if plans permit. Also, Japan reports 1937 postwar highs in trade with the US and imports of American goods. Sand is noted as improving adhesion on locomotive wheels since 1846.
