RITCHIE DECLARES SITUATION GRAVE Unempibyment and Budget Needs Stressed in Mes- sage to Assembly. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, January 2.—Unem- ployment relief and a prospective bud- get deficlt have created “a situation as difficult as ever faced the State of Maryland,” Gov. Ritchie told mem- bers of the General Assembly as they convened for their biennial session today. - It was the Governor's final message and he was given an ovation as he | walked into the House chamber to | read his speech before a joint session of the two branches of the Legisla- ture. Confining himself mainly to a re- view of the achievements of his ad- ministration and to noting the pos- sible courses of action open to incom- ing officials in dealing with current problems, Gov. Ritchie nevertheless definitely recommended: That future welfare activities of the State be administered through a sin- gle State agency. That the State “live within its reve- nue” unless compelling needs for pub- lic service make that impracticable. That the maintenance of county road systems should continue under | the jurisdiction of the State Roads Commission, as well as county debt service, “but, of course, strictly within the allotments of the respective coun- ties.” Dealing at length with the cause and extent of the prospective $2,229,- 000 State deficit at the end of the present fiscal year, September 30, 1935, the Governor pointed to three possible ways of balancing the bud- get—reduction of 1935 expenditures, increased 1935 revenues, sale of the Northern Central Railway annuity. ‘The prospective deficit, the Gov- ernor emphasized, was caused by an unpredictable decline in tax collec- tions. There was no overspending, and no budget appropriations were exceeded, he said. Explaining in detail the recent financial embarrassment in the State Roads Commission, Gov. Ritchie re- vealed for the first time that the Roads Commission will withhold future allotments to counties which | overdrew their accounts and build | Federal feeder roads with remaining funds in underpaid counties. | Asserting the magnitude of the ex- | vided the State with a strong link in isting welfare problem is difficult to realize, the Governor pointed out | that an average of $1,500.000 a month | is being spent for relief purposes. | “Clearly the first thing to do is| settle with the Federal Government on the amount the Government will | require the State to contribute for direct relief and the amount the Government will contribute,” he said.

VANDERBILT ISIN COURT AGAIN s Coguardianship of Gloria 2nd Support Allowance Due for Airing. By the Assogiated Press. NEW YORK, January 3.—Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, with a per- sonal income of $1,400 a year and liv- ing on a scale that requires 20 or 25 times that figure, is starting the new year by taking her financial troubles to court. ‘While the Appellate Division weighs her appeal from the decision of Su- preme Court Justice John F. Carew daughter, Gloria, to her aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs. Vander- bilt’s finances will be the subject of another tribunal’s deliberations. Surrogate James A. Foley is sched- uled to hear argument Thursday on two matters which may vitally affect the pocketbook of the handsome young widow of Reginald C. Vander- | bilt. Asks for Guardianship. One is her petition to be appointed a co-guardian of little Gloria's estate, valued at $2,800,000 or more. George | ‘W. Wickersham and Thomas C. Gil- christ, co-guardians of the girl's for- tune, were named because Mrs. Van- derbilt was a minor when her husband died in 1925 In the second subject of the legal | controversy, the two co-guardians are | seeking to force Mrs. Vanderbilt to file an estimate of financial requirements for Gloria’s support on the week-end | visits provided under Justice Carew’s decision. Mrs. Vaaderbilt, it was disclosed at | an earlier hearing, has an income of only $1.400 a year, the earnings of her | late husband’s personal estate, which | was comparatively small. The rnr!une he left Gloria was part of a trust fund, | the terms stipulating that it must be | upper hand in the United States, and | was moved finally to action by a news- paper cartoon, which showed the Lindberghs—husband and wife—and | Since 1926, however, the Surrogate's | Uncle Sam who said to them: ‘Lindy, | Court has allowed $4,000 a month for | Uncle Sam k‘lfin failed you in your | little Glorias support.

Falling to receive Mrs. Vanderbilt's estimate of expenses for the child's upkeep on week-end visits, Wicker- sham and Gilchrist obtained an order requiring the mother to show cause why she should not be compelled to meet their request. Attorneys have given'mo indication as to whether they will the surro- gate to slash the $4,000 monthly al- lowance, but Mrs. ey's stipula- tion that she would meet personally virtually all expenses for the heiress| five days a week was regarded as a significant portion of their petition to the court. Mrs. Vanderbilt received a bequest of $100,000 from the late Alice G. Vanderbilt, but the dowager’s estate has not been settled. The Surrogate's Court records disclosed, however, that Gloria’s mother had borrowed against the legacy to pay the expenses of her eight weeks’ court battle for the girl's custody.
