THE LETTER BOX
He Thinks There's Something
Wrong In The Car Business

1t has been my policy to keep
my nose out of other peoples
business as much as possible, but
this new automobile business is
a disgrace to the American buy
er.
I refer to the distribution Of
new cars, Some dealers over the
country have been caught charg-
ing as high as $4,000 above the
list price; others pile on extra
equipment and accessories in ex-
cess of 100000.
The idea of man working at
hard labor tipping this outrage
GUS amount to companyw hich
is worth thousands of times more
than the ordinary worker!
Is this the only way a big con
Germ has to sell parts and access
series? To catch a man in dire
need of car and then give him
the works. Does this, sort of man
tried craftsmanship for his extras
Or is his honor and personality
SO bad that he is afraid to rely
on competitive barter and trade?
To the good, honest, open-deal
ing. men who sell cars, this meth
cd is giving them a headache.
We think the manufacturer
of new cars allows the distribu-
tor a fair profit on his product
and no man objects to paying a
fair profit for anything.
I believe it is the duty of every
citizen to report this new meth
cd, of extorting extra money
from the gullible public.
notice that Henry Ford II has
issued statement that his COM
pany has fired 40 dealers and
will do the same to any others
caught in this racketeering act,
The honest dealer knows his
business depends on line of sat-
isfied customers, and he strives
to do his utmost, but these fly
by-night, get-rich-while-I can
dealers are giving him a hard
time.
The public should sort out the
honest and dishonest and look for
the day when new cars will again
be available, and then act accord
ingly. Your honest dealer is to
serve you, the shyster to clip
you.

INTO THE SNAKE
PIT

PIT
A man from Dickinson County
came to a mental breakdown a
few days ago while serving sem
tence in a state convict camp.
And thereby hangs tale"
He was member OF respect
able family and was reared in
good home. That home was not
weu-to-do, or even in comfortable
circumstances because the father
died while this boy was very
young. So he grew up, trained In
hard work and never knew any
other manner Of making Living.
He married and for years support
ed family by the hardest kind
OF labor. A family man and an
average citizen, he was known to
few, but respected by those who
knew him,
And then a change came over
his personality. Step by step, his
sense OF responsibility lessened.
Dark inagirings fitted through
bis brain, and his power of req
sogaing began to wane. His mind
became diseased.
Warrants were issued against
him for non-support and he was,
hailed into court. To his confused
mind, it seemed that he was be-
ing prosecuted; he could not I'M
derstand that his conduct was
wrong or unusual. But over the
treadniu, designed for a GRIMM
al, he wentr-arrests, fines, jail
sentences, and one or more treat
ments with the black jack. For
more than two years the servants
OF the law treated man with
diseased mind as if he were a
criminal ALI the time his disor-
der was being made worse by
the treatment he was receiving.
Finally, he came to break with
reality.
Such course as the law pursued
might have. been excused fifty
years ago on the score of ignor-
ance. In the light of modern
knowledge it cannot be excused.
Those who are invested with au-
thority in the name Of the law
are also invested with RESPONSE
bility for the intelligent use Of
that authority. There ara facilt-
ties in this commonwealth of Viz
ainia for social and mental stu
dies. The servants OF the law
should have recognized symp-
toms OF unusual behavior and
should have had the offender
tested and studied in. order that
the seat OF his troubles could be
found. Instead, they gave
course of treatment that hasten
ed mental breakdown.

These may be rough words to
aim at officials. They are aimed
at officials and the system they
have used and may use again.
Many OF them are friends, for
behind the badge of the officer
is always the man. We take no
pleasure in blowing the whistle
on them as men. We do take
pleasure in throwing light on
a process that should not be re.
peated. A human personality is
worthy for itself alone and should
not be dealt with in ignorance.

County Pupils ''!!lp Face
Church Glass Curb

Prince Georges County public
school pupils will not be excused
from classes on released time" to
receive religious instruction after the
current school year.
The ruling was ordered yesterday
by the County Board of Education.
School Supt. G. Gardner Shugart
said the move actually will affect
only two schools, the Mount Rainier
and Brentwood Elementary Schools.
These two schools permit pupils,
II requested by their parents, to be
excused to attend religious instruc-
ton classes during regular school
hours in Mount Rainier church.
Mr.. Shugart explained the boards
ruling was not based on the recent
Supreme Court decision, which held
that religious instruction in public
schools was unconstitutional.
Instead, the action was taken to
impose a uniform policy through
out the county, Mr.. Shugart de-
clared. In the past the school board
has turned down requests for SIM
liar programs in other communities,
he added
A similar move was ordered in
Anne Arundel County last week,
where only one school, at Linthicum
Heights, is affected. Religious in
struction on released time" was
ended in Montgomery County short
