County. Heads
Sued For $4,000
By 10 v. Morgan

Charging that a press release to
Washington daily papers and to
county weeklies had exposed him
to "public ridicule and contempt
and caused him great financial
loss', 10 v. Morgan has filed suit
for $50,Oc9 against Irving G. Nc
Nayr, County Supervisor and
Brooke johns, president Of the
Board of County Commissioners.
The declaration was filed in the
office of the Circuit Court yester-
day by Mr.. Morgai,'s attorneys
james R. Miller and Charles w.
Prettyman. Mr.. Morgan, who was
appointed County Civil Service
Commissioner by the previous
(Democratic) board October ID,
1945, charges that the defendants
falsely and maliciously wrote,
printed and published" words con-
corning him.
The release to which he referred
says in part: ITO the best of our
knowledge Mr.. Morgan has not APP
peared at his office more than one
hour a week for the last three
months. The county authorities
feel that it is completely unfair to
other county employees and to the
taxpayers of the county to pay a
salary of $4,000 for such dilatory
service"
After Mr.. McNayr released the
press notice to the papers Mr..
Morgan's salary was reduced to
$1,000, supposedly in the hope that
he would fesign the position.

March OF Dimes
Underway Now
All Over Country

The 1948 March of Dimes got off
to a good start today in the Coun-
ty, Alfred C. Paul, chairman of the
Infantile Paralysis Committee of
the Montgomery County Council,
American Legion, stated this
morning, as the fund raising drive
marking the tenth anniversary of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis opened nationally.
"This year as never before" Mr..
Paul said, Montgomery County is
going all out in the drive for funds
to care for infantile paralysis pa
tents. Last year we spent $12,-
226.39 caring for children crippled
by polio. Of this amount only
$3.50 was spent for administra-
tive expenses. All the rest of the
money was spent on actual cases
from Montgomery County. We
have sent two children to Warm
Springs, Ca, for treatment. In
1947 we sent 81 children to Chill
dren's Hospital in Washington. In
1913 we pray that there will be
fewer cases, but we must be ready
to help any child in the county who
is unfortunate enough to be strick-
en- with polio"
Activities slated for the current
March of Dimes drive, Mr.. Paul
stated, far outshine any previous
program. Dimes and dollars will
march along the Mile O'Dimes
stands in Silver Spring and Be-
thesda. Daily radio programs IN
Station WGAY, coin cards and
coin boxes have been distributed.
The drive will conclude with the
annual March O'Dimes Ball, to be
held in the Silver Spring Armory
January 81. These dances have al
ways been huge successes in past
years.
H. ]. Moore, president of the
Legion Council, feels confident that
the March O'Dimes will go down in
history as bright page of COM
munity endeavor, written by men
and women, boys and girls leagued
against a treacherous foe in a
great drama of human kindness.

day received permission from the
Montgomery County Commission
ers to continue operation of the
school until at least June 80.
In deciding to grant a permit to

the school if she did not get a per-

The school was in the limelight
