Are there any amendments to the committee
recommendation?
The Chair hears none.
The question arises on the approval of Committee
Recommendation No. GP-4. Any delegates desire to speak

Delegate Koger?
DELEGATE KOGER: Mr. Chairman, I would like to
speak in favor of this proposal.
I favor adoption of this committee's Recommenda-

of Maryland against harmful and unfair business practices.
Civil disorders visited more than 80 U. S. cities last
summer, promoting death, destruction, sorrow and con-
fusion. Losses totaled many hundreds of millions of
dollars.
In Detroit, 41 persons died; over 1,000 were
injured, 3,000 made homeless, 1,500 businesses looted.
In Maryland, and in miniature, Cambridge experienced
the same dismal and appalling effects. Why? Why is this?
