State Senate GOP Split On Selection of Leader
ANNAPOLIS Md AP Pot pourri from the 1971 Maryland General Assembly. Ten Republican senators have not agreed on a minority floor leader after repeated 5 5 votes between Ed ward T Hall and Jervis S Finney. Democrats note the deadlock as Jamies A Pine quips about too many Republicans agreeing on nothing. Snow and ice slowed lawmakers as sidewalks around state circle remained mostly cleared except the governor’s mansion area. House Speaker Thomas Stunter Lowe obtained nearly 30 reserved spaces for female and disabled members, though signs now say No Parking Reserved For Legislators. Senate President James Williams jokes about Maryland flying only the state flag over the State House, not the American flag, claiming Maryland’s “free state” status. House leadership assignments show John S Arnick as majority floor leader while Briscoe’s name appears beneath the plaque, a surprise given Briscoe’s prior environmental leadership.

Psychiatrists To Take Stand In Calley Court Martial
Psychiatrists who examined Lt. William Calley Jr. testify today but not on his mind. If discussed, the proceedings may recess for weeks as defense experts prepare, with the government seeking access to evaluate Calley’s mental state for intent to kill the My Lai victims. A sanity board could be convened at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, possibly delaying the trial by up to four weeks.

Maryland study lobbies $2 tidal waters fishing license
A Maryland Fish and Wildlife panel recommends a flat $2 license for tidal water fishing and a $5 annual nonresident tidal water fee. It also urges raising nonresident hunting licenses from $24.50 to $50, citing cost of enforcement and a need to fund Chesapeake Bay studies. The report notes 500000+ tidal water fishermen and aims to offset public-safety costs while expanding data for future resource management. It says nonresidents pay little Maryland tax but use tidal resources.
