Policemen Lauded
In March Report
OF Grand Jurymen
Feel Force Is Doing Everything
Possible To Solve Puzzling
Murders

The Montgomery County police
force was especially commended by
the grand jury which handed in its
March report this week. Despite the
fact that two major unsolved crimes
still puzzle the authorities, the grand
jury said that it believed everything
possible was being done to bring the
case to successful conclusion.
The report follows in full:
"We, the Grand Jury, in and for
Montgomery County, have the honor
to report to the Court that we have
carefully Investigated all the cases
brought before US, 81 in number, and
have found IL indictments.
"We have examined 81 witnesses,
most of whom were found competent
and willing to give evidence.
considerable time has been spent
on the Chevy Chase Car Barn murder.
Quite a number of witnesses have
been heard and officers interrogated
as to the services rendered that par
ticular section, and more especially
on the night of the murder. We have
found that the officers on duty at the
time made their regular tour of in
spection and that no suspicious per-
sons lettering in the neighborhood,
who might have been apprehended
and thereby averted the crime, were
seen.
Sgt. Frank G. Brass of the Wash
ington Detective Service, who has
been assigned to this case, was be-
fore us and went very much into de-
tail as to numerous leads which have
been run down and the amount Of
work required in doing so. Sgt. Brass
impressed the Jury with his sincere
and determined desire to prosecute
this case to final solution. Officer
Vollten was also before the Jury and
gave a very concise and detailed
statement in respect to all activities
in regard to this affair from its in
ception. We commend these and all
other officers who have been question
ed, for the way in which they have
been handling this case, and hope that
they will continue to make every
effort possible to bring the culprit
or culprits to justice.
This Jury has thought it advisable
to spend some time on the Allan B.
Wilson, Takoma Park, Maryland
murder, and in an effort to secure
evidence in regard thereto, has heard

The Prescott bills were passed on
third reading and sent to the House.
One eliminates So of the charge i'm
posed against property owners whose
land is advertised for delinquent tax
sales, the second sets up the Ken
sington fire tax area while the third
legalizes the operation of certain
places of amusement on Sundays.
Under the tax sale bill, the clerk
to the county commissioners would
lose 81 allowed him on each piece of
property so advertised, while the fund
for employment of special clerks
would receive only 81 from each par
eel listed for sale instead of So, the
present ALLEGATION to that fund.
The Montgomery measures passed
in the House include bill by Cantrel
and Magruder to eliminate the SIS
survey charge levied against farm
owners when their property is adver-
tised for sale. The charge would not
be made if the taxes are paid prior TO
sale.
The bill introduced by Delegate
Ruth E. Shoemaker to create special
taxing area for the support of the
Newcomb Club-Bethesda Public Libr-
ary, Inc, and another sponsored by
Delegation Chairman 7. Yellott Can

]. Forest Walker
To Explain Items
In Tax Shortage
Meeting With County Commis-
siOners Today; Confident
Books Are Correct

County Treasurer j. Forest Walker
was slated to appear before the
County Commissioners today to dis
cuss an alleged shortage of $464, $685.
80 in uncollected delinquent taxes. A
representative of the Baltimore audit
ing firm of j. w. Lafrentz and Co..
will also be present.
The total of all taxes uncollected
up to July 81, 1884, was $496, 1926. .95.
according to the Rankin & Co. audit
which was sponsored by the Demo-
cratic administration then in power.
Since that time this amount has been
reduced to $464 4,665.S4 through pay
ment of taxes.
Of the 1884 amount of uncollected
taxes, there was total of 1856, S,OO5.83
due for street improvement assess
ments upon which a moratorium had
been declared for two years by the
Legislature. This amount remains un-
collected except for a few sporadic
payments and does not become actu-
ally collectible until July / of this
year.
Mr.. Walker also pointed out that
property purchased by the county
commissioners at tax sales for which
taxes have to be paid for two years
by the commissioners also would ac-
count for some of the amount since
If the commissioners do not receive
the deed to the property at the end
of the two years grace period, it still
is carried as taxable property with
taxes due despite the fact that taxes
actually are not paid on it. When the
commissioners receive the deed and it
becomes county property no more
taxes are listed but until the deed is
issued, the property is listed as tax
able, he said.
Mr.. Walker further pointed out
that he has not presented lists Of
insolvencies since 1882 and that this
will mean considerable amount of
the sum claimed uncollected. Other
property involved in lawsuits which
Is listed as taxable but which can
not be advertised and sold until the
suits are settled will account for
more of the amount, he said.
Walker reiterated yesterday his
statement that he believed his Office
was in the clear as far as any ir-
regularities are concerned and said
he would have to know just what the
auditors are trying to locate before
he can make any definite statement.
He pointed to several dozen ac-
count books and said: "The auditors
have never opened those books"
Alexander X. Hancock, county audi
tor, also asserted that the treasurer's
records are clean and that the un-
collected taxes are properly charge
able eventually but at present really
are open accounts.

NIPPY PRESCOTT has made a
name for himself at Annapolis this
term of the Maryland Legislature.
All due power to one who is able and
fearless. Stedman has natural gifts
for politics. May he keep an even
head and remember that the good of
Montgomery County comes above all
political and partisan feelings.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY SET a
record with the introduction of legis-
lation during the present session of
the Maryland General Assembly.
Nippy Prescott had 45 bills. Joe Can
trell had 80 in the House. Walter
Magruder fathered 81 while the 9TH
er members of the House together
thought up 10. A busy bunch, and
compared with other delegations,
quite an efficient lot.
IF PEACE is TO prevail in Europe
give most of the credit to Great Brit
ain. Sir John Simon seems to have a
way with him. He appears to have
called Hitler's bluff. France and Italy,
both military minded, cannot achieve
results that England apparently is
capable of. A War might help things,
as far as economic troubles go. But
let us hope and pray that America
stands pat this time. Let us have a
big army and navy and be prepared
for foreign invasion. But let US
keep out of foreign squabbles as long
as we hold aloof from the World
Court. We have no legal right now to
enter our opinion as to arguments in
the Old World. We have wisely, or
otherwise, chosen to ignore these
countries in times Of peace. May we
continue to ignore Germany, France,
italy and Russia in times Of peril. We
are too closely bound to Great Britain
to refuse her call for aid. We are also
more or less responsible for certain
Central and South American coun-
tries.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco

THE HEROIC-SIZE STATUE,
MADONNA of the TRAIL, erected
in Bethesda by the Daughters of the
American Revolution, on Wisconsin
Avenue opposite the County Building
in April 1929, may soon be moved to
another location. The Col. Tench
Tilghman Chapter of the D. A. r. has
petitioned the Board of Commission
ers of Montgomery County to lend its
cooperation to such proposal by
granting the society small triangu-
lar plot of land at the intersection of
the Rockville Pike and Old George
town road, opposite Ingleside Inn, to
which the commissioners have title.
Should the commissioners accede to
the request the Tench Tilghman
Chapter will submit its plan for
transfer of the statue to the new site
before the national congress of the D.
A. R. at its annual session in Wash
ington next month.
The statue is one of IL erected by
the National Society in as many
States to serve as markers of the
National Old Trails road. The statue
was erected on Wisconsin avenue be-
cause Major General Edward Brad
dock is said to have passed there en-
route to Fort Dequesne in April of
1755. Members of the Tench Tilgh-
man Chapter told the commissioners
that in addition to its historic associ-
ations the proposed site would pro-
vide more esthetic setting.
The commissioners have taken the
petition for the new tract under ad-
visement.

their humble labor if the Town Coun-
Gil or some local civic organization
helps out. There is a grand setting
for a community center. Half-serious-

the Confederate Memorial or the

thing for this spot. We will take care
of the labor.
