Funk Named Floor Leader in wartime Maryland assembly
Maryland's General Assembly met in a wartime special session as Governor O'Conor urged brief, businesslike proceedings.

Senate and House leaders were chosen, with Republican opposition to the bonus and a call to repeal the Declaration of Intentions Act. The administration proposed a one third bonus share for counties and Baltimore City through April 1945.
