proved recruitment of the 80 po-
licewomen for assignment in uni

The move will allow Supt. Robert

One police Official said the uni

Lands Hits Some Aspects
OF U. 5. Loyalty Program

James M. Lands, former chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Board
and of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, said here yesterday
that lawyers should fight" some
aspects of the "hastly devised" Gov
ernment loyalty program.
Speaking at an American Vet
erans' Committee luncheon at the
ave clubhouse, 1751 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV, he also urged
attorneys to be "articulate" in op-
posing House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee denial" of consti-
tutional rights.
Mr.. Lands, former dean of the
Harvard University Law School,
said the recent election gives hope
of liberal society in this country
Commenting on the loyalty pro-
gram and the House committee's
work during the past year, MIR.
Lands said:
"It is natural and right that lib
eral people should burn with indig-
nation at denial of the right of
others to answer accusations made
against them. But liberal lawyers
should do more than that. They
must fight against such practices
because they strike at our basic
liberties"

George E. Keneipp, director of
the Department of Vehicles and

Inspector Arthur E. Miller to pick
up the tags. He said he had been
informed by the regional manager

customers obtained personal tags.

Appeals Court Chide!
Judge for Refusing
Delay on Illness Plea

The Municipal Court of Appeals
today chided lower court judge for
refusing to grant continuance to a
defendant who pleaded illness.
Target of the criticism was Mu-
nicipal Court Judge Thomas D.
Quinn, who denied a request for
delay by Mrs. Ruby v. Etty, plumb
ing manufacturers agent with Of
fees in the Bowen Building.
Along with its criticism the ap-
pellate court reversed Judge Quinn's
ruling.
Mrs. Etty had claimed through
her lawyer last July 10 that she was
unable to be IN court that day to
face a $4,000 suit filed against her
by two statesmen who charged she
owed them commission.
Records showed that two contin-
uances previously lad been granted
Mrs. Etty, and that when her third
request came up before Judge Quinn
the salesmen argued that her claim
of illness was not made in good
faith," and was ito delay the trial"
They pointed out that a physicians
note attesting that Mrs. Etty was
suffering from nervous exhaustion
and chronic bronchitis had not been
sworn to by the physician.
Judge Quinn, in the defendants
absence, overruled the continuance
motion and trial was set for later
the same day. Judgment then was
awarded the statesmen by Judge
Walter j. Casey when no testimony
was offered on behalf OF the absent
defendant.
Chief Judge Nathan Cayton of
the appellate court commented in
the reversal ruling that in acting
on continuance requests judges
discretion must not be exercised
arbitrarily or capriciously."
Judge Cayton further noted that
the matter OF continuances always
rests in the sound discretion" of
the trial court, and generally is not
subject to reversal except where
an abuse of discretion is shown"
The court remanded the suit to
the lower court for further proceed

In addition to the regular train

announcement that Washington

This obscurity is a pity because

Charles H. Jamison, lone Demo.

Board Of Commissioners, has re-
fused to go along with the four
board members in their
to block the scheduled
January 6 election of a County
Council.
Mr.. Janison made his stand
known after a 15-minute closed
session of the commissioners yester-
day In Rockville.
He also denied reports that he
had agreed by telephone with the
commissioners decision last week to
instruct their attorney, F. Barnard
Welsh, to file suit in an effort to
block the election.
Il worked against the charter
before the November 2 referendum
and I am still against it," Mr.
Jamison told reporters. But the
voters have decided we should be
replaced by seven-men Der coun-
Gil and I'm not going to be a
squealer."

e. Brooke Lee and Lacy Shaw,
long time county Democratic lead
Iers, announced recently they would
work for council nominees put for
ward by the Charter Committees
Nominating Committee and would
attempt to swing the county Demo-
cratic organization in back of the
charter groups slate.
Both the Democratic and Repub-
lican State Central Committees for
the county have declined to make
any recommendations for council
members.
The suit to block the council elec-
ton is expected to be filed within
few Gays. According to Mr.. Welsh,
it will be based on the contention
that the Maryland Constitution
makes no provision for special elec-
ticns and Specifies that State and
county officials must be elected in
November once every four years.
If Mr.. Welsh is successful. the
council would not be elected until
the next general election in 1850.
