STATE REOPENS
FINANCIAL PROBE
in MONTGOMERY
Many Officials Slated
To Testify

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. 28.-A
grand jury probe into alleged
financial irregularities in several
Montgomery county departments
was reopened here today follow
ing a weekend adjournment.
A number Of county officials
including five members of the
Board of County Commissioners,
and at least two State officers
are expected to appear and testify
before the investigation is closed
PUGH ORDERS INQUIRY
The investigation was ordered
by States Attorney James H.
Pugh, after a report from the Bal
timore auditing firm Of Wooden
and Benson allegedly revealed
irregularities In at least four
county departments, uncovered
during the annual audit of county
accounts.
Pugh was somewhat reluctant
today to comment on the dis
coveries made to date, but did ven
ture to say that even If no in
dictments are returned by this
grand jury, he felt that sufficient
evidence would be obtained to
lead to arrests later.
RUMORS TO BE CHECKED
"Rumors of irregularities in
the handling Of county funds
have been active throughout
Montgomery county for some
time" he said, land, I. of course,
have heard them. In my ca
pacity as States attorney I feel
that I would be Sinking my
duty if I did not make an at
tempt to find out if the rumors
are true or unfounded.
by this present investiga-
ton I feel that we will be able
to show definitely that the
rumors are sound or untrue. If
they are true, I will prosecute
the guilty parties to the fullest
extent Of the law"

Back in March, in the field Serv-
ice, Post office hired a young man
for cuStodial work and put him on
the Job under the usual siX-month
probation period required Of all
permanent workers under Civil
Service regulations.
In some other jurisdiction all
might have gone well, but II so
happens that Post office keeps
tab on it's workers via the dement,
system-and the new employees
conduct was so dubious during his
six months that on September Is
he had piled up 100 dement's. His
probation being up, it was decided
to drop him-and then officials
found surprise.
A Puzzling Situation
The worker had accumulated
quite a bit of leave "carry-over,"
and consequently was entitled to
pay after his six months had ex-
PRED. Could he be legally fired?
Did he have a permanent status?
Officials were in a quandary, as
otherwise they would be forced to
prefer formal charges against him.
The employe, however, realizing
he is persona non grata, has
avoided a technical argument by
resigning. effective october l.
