MOUNT RAINIER, Md, July IA
Aroused over what they claim to be an
effort Of their political foes to discredit
their administration by causing the ar
rest of the mayor on a disorderly con-
duct charge, the Town Council Of Mount
Rainier at a special meeting last night
authorized the employment of an at
torney to cooperate with the corpora
ton counsel in defending the town
head, and, If necessary, to carry the
case to the Circuit Court.
The mayor. John Beall, is scheduled
to be tried tonight before Justice OF
Peace Robert Joyce. The charge was
brought against him by Charles Calvert,
attorney for William S. Keys, a dele
gate in the Maryland Legislature, after
the latter had been arrested for Violat-
ing a town ordinance by conducting
building operations without a permit.
The council last night instructed Bird
L. Dolby corporation counsel. to secure
the services of State Senator Lansdale
G. Sasscer, to assist in defending the
mayor.
