Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today Senate Bill 400 and am returning
it to you.
The bill, increasing the number of members of the Legislative
Council from 20 to 30, is a duplicate of House Bill 558, which has
been signed and is now Chapter 263 of the 1967 Laws of Maryland.
Sincerely yours,
(s) Spiro T. Agnew,
Governor.

possessed by persons with dental degrees who may apply to the Board
of Dental Examiners for examination by the Board to practice den-
tistry in the State.

The Board of Dental Examiners, The American Dental Associ-
ation and other professional groups have urged me to veto the
measure, pointing out that no other state in the Nation accepts for
examination graduates of dental schools outside of the United States
and Canada; that the bill would give a professionally unmerited
preference to Philippine-trained dentists over other foreign-trained
dentists; and finally, that to permit persons to practice dentistry
without further training following graduation from a school over
which the American Dental Association exercises no control or per-
