The sales tax testimony Of one
witness, Mrs. Ralph H. Dawn Of the

In Day Care Children

The Child Day Care Centers has
found evidence, of rather serious
malnutrition among the children
who have enrolled recently from
former Aid to Dependent Children
families, according to Mrs. Nancy
Ratcliffe. nutrition expert of the
Board of Public Welfare.
These children have abnormal
appetites," Mrs. Ratcliffe said. They
eat not only much more than the
other children in the groups, but
eat as If they were really hungry.
Their food consumption will be
markedly higher than that of the
Others"
The Welfare Board said these
children previously were cared for
at home by their mothers. Under
the new regulations for public as
sistance, if the father or supporting
relative is employed full time at any
salary or part-time earnings of as
much as $1,000 a year, the family
can no longer be kept on the rolls.
The Day Care Centers provide for
children from am. to Z pm. and

Assessment Protests

The Maryland Tax Commission
today resumed hearings at the Rock
vile Courthouse on protests by Be-
thesda and Silver Spring business
men against Montgomery County
assessments on their properties.
More than a score of owners of
commercial. industrial and apart
ment house properties in the two
areas appeared before the commits
sion yesterday.
Property assessments in the Sill
yer Spring business district recently
were increased approximately
100000 over previous figures,
while those in the Bethesda business
district were increased about $5.000,-
600, according to County Super
visor of Assessments Wiltoh T. Allen.
Joseph B. Simpson, jr., repre-
senting several of the property own
eres involved, contended the assess
ments were invalid. He said that
under the law, assessments must be
made either on classes of property
in all districts in the county or on
all property in designated dis
trict.
He, claimed that county assessors
started their work by districts In
1943, but that during the last two
years they assessed only certain
types of property in the suburban
area.
Mr.. Allen said, however, that the
new procedure was approved by the
county commissioners in October,
1945. He added that the law speci-
f1es assessments may be made either
oy districts or by classes of prop
erty.
Among those represented by Mr..
Simpson were Morris Miller and
Frank Cosiman. Silver Spring, and
George Sachs, Bethesda.
Others protesting their assess
ments included S. Walter Bogley,
president of the Bank of Bethesda,
and Maj. Edward A. Keys, Bethes-
da Mr.. Keys was represented by

HIGHEST British Court
Rules Confraceptives
No Divorce Grounds
BY the Associoted Press


LONDON, Dec. 17.-Britain estab-
liShed the legal principle today that
use of contraceptives by q man or
wife-even over the protest of the
other marriage partner-does not
amount to refusal to consummate
marriage and is not grounds for
nullifying a marriage.
In a unanimous decision, the five
law lords Of the House of Lords
Brltain's highest court-also ques-
toned whether procreation of chill
dren is the main objective of mar
riage.
The lord chancellor, Lord Jowitt,
delivering the courts decision, said
the institution of marriage gen.
orally Is not necessary for the pro-
creation of children: nor does it
appear to be principal end of mar
riage as understood in christendom. "
The decision was delivered in a
case brought by Frederick Charles
Baxter, a suburban London labora-
tory worker, who contended that
his wife's refusal to permit relations
unless Mr.. Baxter used contra
|ceptive amounted to willful refusal
to conSummate marriage.
Lower courts, which twice had
ruled against Mr.. Baxter, were up
held by the Lords, which dismissed
his appeal.
Lord Jowitt declared his opinion
that Parliament, in revising British
divorce laws in 1887, used the word
"consummate" as it Is understood
in common parlance, and in the
light of social conditions known to
exist" The revised divorce code
makes willful refusal to consum-
mate a marriage grounds for nullity.
These social conditions, he said,
Evening star., 1947-12-17

of the view of Christian marriage Is
that any children born into q family
should be brought up and nurtured
in the Christian faith" Lord Jowitt
commented.
THAT is not the same thing as
saying that marriage is not con-
summated unless children are pro-
created, or that procreation Is the
principal end Of marriage"
