Committee, and the Legislative Committee.
At that time we will hear Dr. Frank Grad
of Columbia University. On Thursday and
Friday of next week we will continue to

proposals which have been referred to the
Local Government Committee. Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Delegate Schloeder?
DELEGATE SCHLOEDER: The Suf-
frage and Elections Committee will meet

Senator Brewster, Delegate Storm and
George Allen.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
Delegate Dulany?
DELEGATE DULANY: Mr. President,
there will be a brief meeting of the Com-
mittee on Public Information immediately
upon adjournment in the lounge, on the
opposite side of the television set.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any fur-
ther announcements? Delegate Boyer?
DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. President,
the Committee on General Provisions is
entering into its final phase of the edu-
cational matters, that dealing with fiscal
problems and the financing of education.
We will meet this afternoon about fifteen
minutes after the adjournment here. We
will hear this afternoon from Dr. Homer
Elseroad, Superintendent of Montgomery
County Schools, Dr. Paul Henry, Assistant
Superintendent for Business and Finance,
Mr. Charles Stein, the Budget Department,
Dr. Wayne Reid, the Associate Commis-
sioner of the United States Office of Edu-
cation.
Tomorrow morning we will begin our
deliberations at 9:30 A.M., at which time
we will hear from Dr. Kern Alexander of
the Office of Education, and at 11:00 A.M.
we will be privileged to hear from Dr.
Lowell Ensor, President of Western Mary-
land College.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any fur-
ther announcements? Delegate Scanlan?
DELEGATE SCANLAN: The Rules
Committee will meet Tuesday at 12:00
noon, to take up again Resolution No. 11,
and take up various proposed rule changes
suggested by Senator Raley's subcommit-
tee. In this connection I invite all the dele-
gates to furnish the committee with any
proposals they may have in mind for |
changes in the rules. Although the Con-
vention retains the power to change the
rules up to the very last day, there comes
a time when we would like to have the
rules, if not printed, at least in a some-
what semi-permanent form; and we would
like to put in one collection all the various
changes we have made up to now; so I
urge you, if you do have some suggestions,
try to get them to the committee by the
early part of next week.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any fur-
ther announcements by committee chair-
men? Delegate Schloeder?
DELEGATE SCHLOEDER: Mr. Presi-
dent, I would like to direct this question
to you, in your former role as Constitu-
tional Convention Commission Chairman.
Like many others, I have received a
copy of a memorandum by Kenneth Lasson,
relating to church freedom and the
church-state relationship in Maryland. I
wonder if you might explain the genesis
of this memorandum?
THE PRESIDENT: The memorandum
is a research memorandum prepared for
the Commission, which will be presented
in Volume 11, I think it is, of the Com-
mission's Reports. Since that volume is not
now printed and will not be printed for
some time, and since some of the delegates
have seen references to this memorandum
and have asked for it, we circulated it to
them in this form.
Delegate Clarke?
DELEGATE E. CLARKE: Mr. Presi-
dent, ladies and gentlemen of the Con-
vention, I would like to move that from
this day forward, and that each day that
this Convention is in session, that the
reading of one be considered the reading
of all of the proposals introduced by Dele-
gate Finch. Is there a second?
(There was no response.)
DELEGATE E. CLARKE: Mr. Chair-
man, in the interest of freedom of speech,
which includes the right of freedom to
think and to write, I withdraw my motion.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate White?
DELEGATE WHITE: Mr. President,
being a firm believer in the golden rule,
which I believe is a good guideline for this
Convention and for individuals, I wish to
have recorded that I did attend the com-
mittee meeting of the Committee on Per-
sonal Rights and the Preamble, and as a
result of our very lively and congenial |
