COUNTY COURT
FACES TEST OF
LEGALITY

EVANSVILLE, Md, Sept. 3.
A test case to determine the le-
gality of the office of police JUS
tice in Prince Georges county was
filed in county police court in
Hyattsville yesterday when Rob
ert w. Mccullough, attorney OF
Cheverly, Md, asked for a dis
missal of drunken driving charges
against his Washington client on
the grounds that the police judge
George E. Merrick, did not have
the authority to try the case.
Mccullough based his plea on
the contention that the act of the
Maryland State legislature Great
ing the office in 1927 was uncon-
stitutional because it overrode a
previous act granting to the JUS
tees of the. peace the same power.
Former Plea Refused
McCullough's plea was rejected
by the court when States Atter-
ney Alan Bowie ruled that the
1927 law had repealed any
previous laws giving magistrates
power to try cases.
Although Bowie admitted that
there had been a question as to
the conStitutionality Of the act,
he explained similar actions had
been brought about in Alleganey,
Montgomery and Wicomico coun-
ties and rejected by the court OF
appeals. Bowie further stated
that Judge Merrick was in reality
o Justice of the peace at large and
that he was not infringing upon
the rights of the magistrates by
trying cases.
Civic Groups Protest
McCullough's move to question
the right of Judge Merrick to try
criminal cases was brought about
by repeated complaints of civic
organizations, especially the re-
Gently organized Magis t r ties
Association of Prince Georges
county, that the present lower
judicial system of the county
worked an undue hardship upon
law violators in that they were
often required to pay bondage fees
or submit to Imprisonment regard
less of their guilt.
With the rejection of McCul-
lough'S plea, his client Craig Ker-
shaw, of Washington. charged
with driving while under the in
fluence of liquor, reckless driving,
and driving without permit, was
ordered to stand trial. He asked
for a continuance of the case
until next Wednesday morning
and his plea was granted. He was
released under $1,000 bond. Nc
Cullough later stated that in the
event that his client was con-
victed of any of the charges, he
would appeal to the Prince
Georges Circuit Court on the un-
constitutionality plea.

Gives His
Success Rules

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 17.-Warner
GLAND, now appearing in his four
tenth Charlie Chan role, Char

tieth Century-Fox, has an enviable
record for steady work. For more
than II years the slant-eyed thes-
plan has withstood the thickness
and vagaries of the hap-hazard
movie life and retained steady
growing popularity with his public
and coworkers.
Here are Glands rules for sue
cess in pictures, or any place, for
that matter:
These "Chanograms" are the 10
commandments for Hollywood be-
havior.
l. Don't alibi. Ancient excuse,
like ancient goat, has whiskers.
2. Face the facts. Dreams, like
good liars, distort facts.
3. Be punctual. Cold omelet,
like fish out of sea, does not i'm
prove with age.
4. Think things out. Hasty con-
customs, like hind leg of mule, kick
backward.
S. Don't hog the picture. One
man cannot move mountain.
6. Pay attention to detail. In
significant m o e hill sometimes
more worthy of notice than con
spicuouS mountain.
7. Lead the right kind of life.
Talent without virtue like silver
without a master.
8. Be determined. Oak tree do
not fall with first stroke.
9. Invest wisely. Much wealth
will not come if little does not go.
10. Don't talk too much. Words
like sunbeamS. The more they are
condensed the deeper they burn.
