DIVIDES DELEGATES Montgomery, Prince Georges ~ Legislators Far Apart on Job Insurance. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md., December 9.— Unanimous in support of the principle ©of unemployment insurance, members of the Montgomery and Prince Georges County delegations hold widely divergent views on the bill which Gov. Nice had introcuced as ' the special session convened yester- day. Senators Stedman Prescott of Mont- gomery and Lansdale G. Sasscer of Prince Georges, together with several Delegates, declined to comment pend- ing further study of the measure, but other members of the nearby ‘Washington delegations voiced opin- dons typical of the conflicting reactions it aroused in the Assembly. Like Absence of Employe Tax. Miss Ruth Shoemaker of Montgom- ery said she thought employes would take more interest in the proposal if subject to the tax, although receipt of contributions from them would com- plicate record-keeping. Delegate John S. White of Prince Georges said he liked the absence of any tax on employes. Miss Shoemaker stated further the plan to make it apply to employers of one or more persons, exclusive of « sgricultural workers, met with her approval. Her colleague in the Montgomery County delegation, Walter M. Ma- gruder, said he already had noted opposition to that feature and feared there would be more. In support of the proposal to apply the insurance to employers of one or THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NIEESEGUR"Y B".l.

Delegate Kent R. Mullikin, who with Benator Sasscer served on the com- mittee which drafted the bill, would only say he believed the State should pass a bill independent of Federal legislation, to avoid another special session should the Supreme Court hold the latter unconstitutional. “Maryland’s milk law was invali- dated by the courts because it was contingent upon other legislation,” he said. “Our unemployment insurance act should be able to stand on its own feet without the bulwark of some other statute.” Other delegates’ comments were: Charles C. Marbury: “I voted for previous unemployment insurance bills. Am not sure the present one should be | Ppassed ‘as 15’ " John 8. White: “The bill looks all right on the surface. I fought for un- employment at the last session.” L. Harold Sothoron: “Am not sure I favor all features of the bill, but we must have unemployment insurance.” Doubts Stand by Chamber. Delegates Joseph A. Cantrel and T. Yellot Canby ‘of Montgomery and W. Powers and Lansdale G. Clagett of Prince Georges said they had not studied the bill sufficiently to comment. Powers, who recently re- tired as head of the Hyattsville Cham- ber of Commerce, said he did not be- lieve that body would take a stand on the measure, although the Baltimore Association of Commerce has opposed one which exceeds the minimum re- Quirements of Federal iegislation. Delegate Shirley Hays of Montgom- ery did not attend the opening session | because of illness in his family. Back of some of the Assemblymen’s reticence was believed a conviction the | State should pass legislation conform- | ing to that of the Federal Government | now, so there would be no quetsion of | approval by the National Social Se- eurity Board. Any legislation would necessarily be , it was observed, and subject to revision at the regular ses- sion which convenes January 6. —_— NYE ASKS AMENDMENT TO “DRAFT” CASH IN WAR B the Associated Prei SPOKANE, Wash,, December 9.— Benator Gerald P. Nye of North Da- | Kota, called yesterday for a constitu- tional amendment to permit the “drafting of dollars and property as Wwell as of men in time of war.” The chairman of the Senate Muni- tions Investigation Committee, in a club address Monday night, denounced the armament race of nations as “a gigantic racket” and a “hellish busi- ness.” He advocated a “cash and carry” Ppolicy for warring nations who come to the United States for provisions, and proposed also that the power to declare war, except in case of attack, be submitted to a popular referendum. He expressed the opinion there was & strong probability of the United Btates being drawn into any general conflict which might flare up from the Bpanish situation. PROBERS STUDYING PHONE.
