By the Associated Press

WESTMINSTER, Md, Dec. o.
Associate Justice Robert H. Jack
son OF the United States Supreme
Court said yesterday one Of the
most significant contributions of the
Nuremberg trials was the establish

PTA Backs Separate
Juvenile Court Plan
In Prince Georges

Establishment of separate juve-
nile court for Prince Georges County
today had the support of the county
council of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions.
The council voted for the plan at
meeting last night in the Green
belt North End School, after hear
ing a report from its legislative
chairman, Jerrold v. Powers, who
outlined three alternatives for ju-
venile court setups in Prince
Georges.
Rejected in the one-sided vote ia
voring an independent county court
for juvenile offenders was a pro-
posal to continue the present sys-
tenn whereby no age distinction is
made among defendants appearing
in trial magistrate hearings. The
council also turned down sugges-
tions adhering to 1945 law setting
up juvenile court system operating
as part of the State Circuit Courts.
Under the independent county
setup an additional magistrate, ap-
pointed by the Governor, would
handle juvenile cases exclusively,
with a probation officer assigned to
his court.
In answer to some criticism of
the additional taxes involved in
creating the separate court, Mr..
Powers emphasized the extra cost to
the taxpayer would be amply COM
pensated" by any gains shown in
the fght.t to lower the growing juve-
nile delinquency rate reported in
Prince Georges.
The Legislative Committee was
instructed by Mrs. Wells Harring-
ton, council chairman, to draft a
bill to be submitted to the 81 mem
ber parent-teacher groups, which
represent more than 5000 parents
and teachers in the county. The
draft will be presented before the
January session of the Maryland
General Assembly.

Fairfax Group
Forms toFight
Annexation
Courthouse Session
Is One Of Largest
In Recent Years

Organized opposition to moves to
annex Fairfax County was under
way today after the formation of
a Fairfax County Antiannexation
Committee.
Chosen as temporary officers last
night were: Carl Marshall of Nc
Lean, Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor in last years
election, chairman; George B.
Robey, executive secretary of the
County Democratic Committee, vice
chairman; Richard Smith, publisher
of the Providence Journal, secretary,
and Arthur Sheaffer, treasurer.
The meeting, held at the court
house, was one of the largest in
recent years and was attended by
citizens from all sections of the
county.
Falls Church Cited.
1t was the consensus of the meet
ing that annexation of any part of
Fairfax County by either Arlington
County or Alexandria City should
be opposed. It was agreed that it
might be necessary for Falls Church
to become a city of the second class
and annex considerable amount of
the surrounding territory If it were
to be saved from possible annexa-
ton by Arlington. The meeting was
told that in the case Of Alexandria's
annexation plans, the residents in
the territory would not be consulted
and it would be up to a three-judge
court to decide on a petition when
filed by Alexandria.
The new organization, which is a
successor to the Fairfax County Tax
payers League, will meet in January
to perfect its organization and de-
eide on further steps.
Lester Kellogg of Hillwood told the
meeting that he was opposed to
joining Falls Church at the present
time because of the serious mis-
takes which it is making in its oper-
alton of the town." He criticized
the county Democratic machine"
for its failure to provide decent
schools, adequate planning and
other essential public services. He
specifically criticized the County
Planning Commission for its recon-
in favor of granting per-
mission to erect multiple housing
units on the Greer and Westcott
properties near Falls Church.
Mayor Hazelgrove Speaks.
John H. King, former member of
the Falls Church Planning Com
said that citizens in the
Falls Church area would not sup
port a fight against annexation by
Arlington County unless there is
new deal at the courthouse"
Fenner Hazelgroye, Mayor of Falls
Church, told the meeting that his
town doesn't need help from the
county to become second class
CITY,"
Residents of the Groveton area
wanted immediate action by the
county to oppose Alexandria and de-
clared that they felt that any move
by the court to annex them without
a chance for them to express their
views would be contrary to the
Federal Constitution.
John Rust, former State Senator
and member of the county planning
commission, defended the present
county government and denied that
there was anything wrong with the
county or It's schools.

Maryland Assembly
Meets Dec. 70 10 Vote
Emergency Funds
BY the Assoeiofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-The Legis.
Iature will meet probably for 6
one-day special session-late thi'
month to iron out fiscal problems
which have upset operations Of State
departments early next year.
Gov. OConor announced the ses-
sion late yesterday after an emer.
gency meeting of the Board OF Pub
lie Works and other State officials.
The tentative date for the session
is DecemberN20, provided legislative
leaders can complete preparations
Need Emergency Funds.
The Legislature will be summoned
to appropriate emergency funds to
meet salary increases totaling $2,-
600, 900 granted by the Board of
Public Boards last August. The
wage boosts we're made effective
September l, it being anticipated
that the regular session of the Leg
islature convening January l could
provide for the extra funds above
departmental appropriations.
Gov. O'Conor's legal and finan-
cial advisers, however, now are of
the opinion that the funds would
be exhausted before the 1947 Leg
islature could act. The Maryland
constitution requires that the BIZ
ennial budget must be approved be-
fore any other appropriation bill
can be considered, and the regular
budget might not be adopted until
late in the session.
Lawyers Start Action.
Members of the Lawyers Civic
Association of Baltimore precipi-
tated the move when they prepared
an injunction in Baltimore Circuit
Court to halt further payments un-
der the Board of Public Works pay
raise ruling.
The association contended thai
the action was not constitutional
although the injunction petition
was dropped after the Governor an
nounced the special session would
be called.
william Preston Lane, jr., Gov
ernor-elect, met with the Board of
Public Works at yesterdays session.
Others in attendance besides Gov.
OConor and Mr.. Lane were Hall
Hammond, deputy attorney general
and attorney general-elect; State
Treasurer Hooper S. Miles, State
Controller j. Millard Tawes, Chief
Deputy Controller Joseph O'C. Nc
Cusker and Budget Director Walter
N. Kirkman.
"It is assumed that ali depart
ments will have sufficient. funds
until February /, but there is no
assurance beyond that" Mr.. Miles
said. 'It seems appropriate to call
special session"
Mr.. Tawes said it would be too
risky to wait for action by the regu-
lar Legislature and Mr.. Hammond
and Mr.. Lane agreed a special ses-
sion would be desirable.

State Health Officers Con.
tention Not Reflected
In New Hanover

New Hanover county has five
small, wooden schools for Negro
pupils, but the vast majority of
its colored students are housed
in four modern, steam-heated Will
mington schools, H. M. Roland,
county superintendent of schools,
said yesterday.
Roland had no direct comment
on a recent statement by DR.. Carl
Reynolds, state health officer, that
1.-THE Negro schools of North Caro-
lima r a disgrace to the state"
But his report on the condition OF
Negro education here indicated
that DR.. Reynolds remarks are
not applicable to New Hanover
county.
The county's five Negro rural
schools house Slightly over 400
students, a little over ten per cent
of the total Negro enrolment.
The local Board of Education
keeps its wooden structures in
good repair, Roland said.
AS a general policy, this board
seeks to consolidate its Negro pupils
in modern buildings. In the last
ten years, seven small, wooden
schools buildings have been closed
and their students transferred tc
up-to-date plants in the city, Ro-
land said.

Agricultural Depart m e n ,
Says Children Will Soon
Get Hot Meals

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.- W.D =
Agriculture department officials
said Sunday that their national
school lunch program is moving
toward the goal of a hot meal for
every school child in the country.
Not fast enough for everyone,
but gaining speed, is the way they
described it.
DR.. William c. Ockey, associate
director of the food distributors
program branch, said 1--WE are do
ing more this year than last"
Agreeing with him was Marshall
P. Briggs, acting chief Of the
school lunch division. Both were
replying to persistent reports that
the program was begging down
because of personnel changes IN
the As states and territories.
The last Congress appropriated
SIS, 900, 900 for Federal participa-
ton in the program. Reports
since Congress recessed have been
that the program has Topped be-
cause Agriculture department en-
ployes have replaced training die
ticians and other valuable person
mel.
Picture Good
Admitting that there had been
personnel changes, Briggs said,
however, that "there has been no
overall loss of efficiency. OF
course, here and there we have
lost some valuable people, but the
national picture is good. There is
no begging down in any of the
states"
From the reports we get"
Ockey said, 1--WE are very well
pleased with the way the program
is working out. I must say, how
ever, that in a few states a lot Of
work is needed to bring the pro-
grams up to par"
Both Ockey and Briggs said that
the program was up 20 per cent in
some states over a year ago when
the states were not participating

Fire Writes FINS To Best
GhostStoryO fModermE Era

LONDON, Oct. 10. -U.D- The
best documented ghost story OF
our time" dropped into the files
of the Society for Physical re-
search Sunday, nearly IS years af-
ter a nervous neighbor first tele-
phoned a local newspaper that
there was a transparent nun walk
ing around Borley rectory."
In all its go years of inquiring
into phychic phenomena, the society
has never encountered a supposed
ghost anything like the melancholy
nun of Borley. She appeared DELHI
erately and ~lingeringly to at least
200 persons, 40 of whom were
specially chosen professional men
engaged in trying to solve her
mystery.
She even did what no other ghost
ever has done so well before -
materialized in front of her people
in broad daylight in brilliant sun
shine!
Now the entire story of the weird
events at Borley has been gather
ed and written by Harry Price, the
~society's investigator, who spent
several years on the case. He calls
his report 1.-THE End of Borley
ERectory," because the ancient Suf-
folk landmark is no more; it was
destroyed by a mysterious fire a
few days after an alleged spirit
message warned that an extin-
guishable fire was due to start.
Part Legend
Part of the story is, of course,
legend. Price says local gossip
handed down for centuries claims
the was bricked up alive in her
convent after she broke her VOWS.
In any event, most persons who
have seen the apparition report
that its face cast an expression of
extreme grief.
