Bill Gives 125 Days To Harness Racing Annanolis, March 26-(AP)- The trotters and pacers would be allowed 125 days of racing a year at Maryland's harness tracks under legislation up for final senate action today. The senators gave the bill tentative approval last night in the face of a warning from Senator Della (D-Balto 6th) that passage will ensure that "we will have no racing in Maryland in 25 years." The vote was 19-7. Della pointed out that flat and harness tracks are already, under present statutes, able to stage 250 days of racing with mutuel betting a year. The harness bill would raise it to-285 days. "If you want to kill racing, one sure way is to increase the number of days," Senator Della contended.

2 Phoebus Fights Pimlico Shift Annapolis, March 26 (AP) Legislation to allow the Maryland Jockey Club to abandon Pimlien race track came up for final passage in the Senate today. It was given tentative approval by an 18-11 margin yesterday, after Senator Phoebus (R-Somerset), staged a one- rearguard action to defeat the measure. After the vote, Majority Leader Sothoron (D- Prince George's), who had opposed the plan, told his colleagues: "I know when I'm licked." Under the bill, the historic old track in Baltimore would close down after the fall session. Its meetings would be combined with those of Laurel, also owned by the Jockey Club. This would mean that the Laurel- Pimlico combine would be allotted 50 of the 100 days of mile-track racing permitted in Maryland year.

Goes To House Next The jockey club be allowed to take the $700,000 now earmarked for improvements at Pimlico and use it to improve its Laurel racing plant, which is located midway between Baltimore and Washington. The House of Delegates will get the bill after, it receives final Senate approval. That House will make the controlling decision next week. Senator Phoebus held the floor for an hour. He made it clear he had never watched the horses run at Pimlico -that he never expects to.

He said he just wanted to know whether Maryland would lose any money by the shift. Assails Lobbyists He connected unnamed lobbyists with the proposal, contending one group had received $33,500 in 1947 when the General Assembly gave the Jockey Club permission to build a new plant in another spot to replace Pimlico. "I want to know," he insisted, "whether we stand for the schools and the children of Maryland, or for the rich people like the Vanderbilts, and the lobbyists here in this, State House." After the vote, Senator Turnbull (D- Baltimore County) sought to suspend rules and have the Senate pass the bill at once. Phoebus and Sothoron objected. President Byrnes (D-Balto 5th), ruled in their favor on a technical ground that the final printing of the bill had not been proofread.

The Maryland Racing Commission has endorsed the legislation. Operators of Bowie, which would split the other 50 days of mile racing with Havre de Grace, have opposed it every step of the way. Laurel is in the same general area of Southern Maryland as Bowie. Bowie contends that concentration of so much racing in a small area would kill the sport in Maryland.

"We are going to give the administration some help on Taft said, adding with a grin: "It seems they're about to get around to passing the Taft program for housing, aid to education and school health." Chairman Thomas (D-Utah) of the labor committee, which officially approved both the last named bills yesterday, urged speedy action on them. The education bill provides up to $300,000,000 in yearly grants to states. The other measure calls for $35,000,000 annual expenditures to improve the health of school children. Both the housing bill and the aid to education measure have encountered difficulties in the House in previous sessions. This time a House-passed measure seemed due for some trouble in the Senate.

SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH Negotiation On Bridge Sought Annapolis, March 26 -(AP)The State Roads Commission has asked legislative approval to negotrate contracts on the Chesapeake Bay bridge project instead of awarding them to the lowest bidder. An administration bill to that effect was introduced in the General Assembly yesterday. Robert M. Reindollar, State Roads Commission chairman, said the measure was drawn up at the suggestion of Attorney General Hall Hammond and with Governor Lane's approval.

It is designed to expedite construction of the long- -projected bay span. Only two bids were received this week on construction of the bridge substructure and they were 66 percent higher than original estimates of the cost. They were turned down. Under present law, the commis. sion must advertise for bids on projects and either accept the low bid or reject.

The proposed bill would permit the commission to negotiate further with the low bidder or with other firms "as the commission deems in the public interest and without the necessity of further advertisement for The bill is an emergency measure and would take effect 88 soon as passed.
