Byrd argues McKeldin coasted on mental hospitals issue
In a Baltimore campaign stop, Democratic candidate H. C. Byrd charged the Republican administration has been just coasting on Maryland mental hospital policy. He cited a Leonardtown report of a mother pulling her son from Spring Grove State Hospital, alleging the maximum security ward is a snake pit. Byrd credited progress to the Lane era, while a state mental hygiene spokesman released figures showing rising discharges and improved staff ratios from 1951 to now.

Maryland Drought Committee Backs No Federal Aid
The Maryland Drought Committee decided farm conditions are not dire enough for federal emergency aid. They noted southern Maryland suffered most, with a good tobacco crop aiding collateral for local loans. Few farmers would qualify for disaster assistance even if declared, needing under 60 days of feed and no other financing. The panel will reconvene if conditions change.
