According to Francis L. Pun

PRAISES
PRINCE GEORGES
POLICE COURT.
Urges Action to Assure
Its Validity

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.
14.-Praising the operation of the
recently reorganized Prince
Georges county police court and
police force, the grand jury con-
cluding its deliberations here yes
terday recommended amendment
of the State constitution. If neceS-
sary, to preserve the present law
enforcement system.
The grand jury's report came
on the heels of an order from At
torney General Herbert R. O'Con-
or, advising Judge George B.
Merrick to discontinue the trial Of
traffic cases in police court.
TRAFFIC CASES SHIFTED
The attorney generals ruling,
which was followed by Judge Mer-
rick in assigning all traffic cases
for trial by justices of the peace,
was apparently the result of a re-
cent appeals court decision cast
ing doubt on the conStitutionality
Of the county court.
In commenting on the situation
the Grand Jury report stated:
"To revert to the archaic jus
tices of the peace trial ssytem,
with its attendant evils, would
be a mark of retrogression in
this county's government.
73 TRUE BILLS
It was pointed out in the report
that questioning of the constitu-
tionality of the court and the
police force is leading to confu-
sion and the indecision at the
present time"
The jury also recommended in.
vestigation Of safety conditions at
all railroad grade crossings in the
county.
OF the SO cases presented to the
jury, 73 true bills were returned
10 cases were ignored and six
were continued for further hear.
