NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Although
pushing up to the highest level ever re-
corded, the country's gold stock showed
the smallest increase ir several years
during the week ended october 20.
The contraction reflected an upturn
in boarding of the yellow metal
abroad, and an incidental dip in ship
ments, rather than any nervousness
regarding our markets, bankers said.

FUNDS ASKED
!. T0PAY BONDS

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 20.
With Montgomery County's over
draft with the State Roads Com
mission liquidated under the
terms of a legislative measure
enacted by the recent session Of
the Maryland General Assembly,
County Commissioner Richard s..
Lansdale has urged his fellow
commissioners to seek the county's
share of State roads funds to re-
tire outstanding road bonds.
Commissioner Lansdale'S mo-
ton urged Barnard F. Welsh,
counsel to the county board, to
seek a ruling from Attorney Cen
eral Herbert O'Conor, as to
whether the county can demand
its share Of the Decent gas tax
for debt retirement.
Although the motion was de-
feated by vote of three to two,
Landslide pointed out that at
present there are approximately
$2,641, 900 in road bonds outStand-
ing in the county and some
means Of retiring them should be
sought. He made the stipulation
in his motion, however, that
enough of the county'S share of
the gas tax fund be set aside to
properly maintain lateral high
ways and the balance be applied
to the present road debt.
After a lengthy discussion
LanSdale agreed to present his
proposal during an executive seS.
sion of the board tomorrow. At
that time the Commissioners will
also begin a study of the budget
for the new fiscal year which be-
gins July l.

CONTEMPT
CASE NEARS
DE- JURY

The trial Of L. Douglas Rice,
vice president and general man.
ager of the Railway Audit and In
Spection Company, Inc, on charges
of contempt of the Senate, neared
its close in United States District
Court today as opposing counsel
made their final arguments 10 the
jury.
Leonard Weinberg and Alvin l..
Newmyer, counsel for Rice, told
the jury that Rice was within his
rights in failing to appear before
the La Toilette Civil Liberties Com
mittee last August, because he had
appealed to the courts to preserve
his constitutional rights and the
courts had taken Jurisdiction.
Rice had filed suit for an in
junction, to restrain officials of
his firm from appearing before
the La Toilette Committee with
private papers Of the company on
August 81. The suit was filed on
the morning the hearing began
and a rule was signed, directing
the committee chairman to show
cause within five days why q tenn
porary injunction should not be
issued.
Weinberg accused the commit.
tee of acting in bad faith in the
case, telling the jury that it had
withdrawn the subpoena against
Rice to avoid having to answer the
injunction proceedings.
Justice Peyton Gordon will de-
liver his charge to the jury in the
afternoon and verdict is expected
before the end Of the afternoon
session,

A ruling from the Ditrict Com
misSioners as to whether the
Metropolitan Police Department
should have Jurisdiction over the
city's Fairgrounds should be
sought to relieve confusion on
these grounds, Supt. Frank w.
Ballou recommended to the Board
Of Education yesterday.
The Fairgrounds have become
so overrun with children using
them after school hours when nc
supervisor is on duty that some
form Of control must be adopted
to maintain order, 1t was pointed
out. The possibility Of POSTING
trespass warnings on all school
grounds was discussed by the
board before it finally voted to
bring the matter to the attention
Of the Commissioners. DR.. Ballou
said: s.'.
1--WE get many complaints
from persons living adjacent to
the school grounds and we u.s.
ually refer these complaints 10
the police officials"
The police in turn, the Superin-
tendent continued, inform the
compliments that they have no
jurisdiction over the use Of the
grounds. In view of this existing
confusion over authority to police
the grounds, DR.. Ballou recon-
mended the Commissioners be
asked for a ruling.
