Test Of Jim Crow Law
Slated on Appeal Of
Arlington Decision

Another test of the Jim Grow Law
in Virginia is slated to 60 to the
State Supreme Court after an Ar
lington Circuit Court jury yesterday
upheld a Police Court conviction OF
Anna and Alfred Marshall, colored
300 block of South Nineteenth
street.
James H. Raby, ,colored attorney
today said he would take the case
to the high court in an effort to win
reversal of the decision. The case
had been appealed from Police
Court, where the pair was fined $5
and costs each on charges of violat-
ing the statute.
A motion by the defense to set
aside yesterdays verdict because it
was said to be contrary to law and
evidence and in violation of the 14th
constitutional amendment was de-
MED by Judge Walter T. Mccarthy
The court gave the defense 10 days
to prepare brief on the constitu-
titonal question for the record.
The couple was accused of failing
to obey request of Emory Swink,
A. B. g. w. bus driver. that they
move to the rear of his vehicle. The
incident occurred January "a at Co.
lumbia pike and South Rolfe street.
Testimony at the trial showed that
only one white passenger was be-
hind the defendants when they re-
fused to move. The defense was
based on the contention that this
passenger should have been asked to
move forward.
Mr.. Raby was assigned to the case
by the Arlington Chapter of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. Mrs.
Esther Cooper, president of the local
organization, was present at the
trial.

New PI Ian Gives
Clearer Budget
In Montgomery
W. F. Days System
Shows Details of
Operating Costs

A new method of preparing the
annual Montgomery County budget,
designed to give clearer picture
OF the actual costs of operating the
county, has been devised by County
Supervisor Willard F. Day.
The new system, which, according
to Mr.. Day, Incorporates many of
the recommendation contained in
the Brookings Institution report on
the county government, made public
In March, 1941, will be discussed
at a meeting of department heads
at 3 pm. today at the Rockville
Courthouse.
Divided Into Three Parts.
Under the new plan, the budget
will be in three parts. The first
will list payments for current ex-
penses. The second will outline
cost payments for capital outlays,
including new schools, roads and
police equipment. The third part
will contain noncost payments, in
cludlng payments on bonded in
debtedness and allocations to the
4th and 5th suburban districts.
Mr.. Day explained that the new
system will show the total expendi-
lures for all county functions and
will list payments received from the
State and Federal Government.
The new budget also will classify
collections for bicounty agencies,
such as the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission
and the Washington Suburban San
itary Commission.
Same as Bank System.
Through use of key symbols, the
expenditures of any county depart
ment, both as a whole and in the
various items making up the partic-
ular departments functions, can be
reported at any time.
Essentially" Mr.. Day declared.
the system is the same as that used
by banks in accounting for deposits.
1t can be put into effect by the
county without any added expense
and should save money"
He added that such a plan is IN
general use in other counties which
have modern accounting systems
and is intended as an operating
document" for use by the depart-
ments, the supervisor and the coun-
ty commissioners for controlling ex.
penditureS.
