was not clear Immediately why
he will leave Office.
One friend of the Governor,
usually we'll informed about such
matters, said it is improbable
that there has been rift between
the officials.
Mr.. Boone, himself. withheld
direct comment, saying that any
statements should come from
Gov. Lane. He declared, however,
that mo political differences" are
involved.
One possible reason for the
change is an effort by Gov. Lane
to strengthen his political position
in Western and Southern Mary

election campaign.
Miss Simpsons popularity and
accomplishments are figured to
help him. Her selection also is
expected to appeal strongly to

Judqe Tells Grand jury

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff today questioned the
grand jury practice of indicting
persons on charges of assault with
a dangerous weapon where there
is but little injury inflicted on the
victim.
The comment came after the
grand jury returned indictments
against nine persons on charges
Of assault with a dangerous
weapon.
Judge Holtzoff said that often
there is only slight injury in these
cases although dangerous weap-
on may have been used. He sug-
gested that a number of such cases
should be referred to Municipal
Court, rather than District Court,
for prosecution on simple assault
charges.
He told the grand jury, how
ever. that final judgment" on
whether to indiet on the more
serious charge Of assault with q
dangerous weapon rested with it.

PhoneRemovdIs
Wants to Know How
FEC Ruling Affects
Situation in D. c.

Judge James w. Norris abruptly
halted arguments revolving around
the right of the telephone COM
pany to remove telephones from
subscribers suspected of law vio-
lations when he was told today
he was powerless to act in the
case.
The District Court jurist adj
journed the case until later in
the day to give opposing cour sci
time to determine what effect a
regulation on file with the Federal
Communications Commission has
on the Washington situation.
Under attack is Public Utilities
Commission decision that the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co. has the right to re-
move telephones from subscribers
If a law enforcement agency or
the telephone company itself finds
the telephone is being used or will
be used to violate the law.
300 d. C. Phones Removed.
Although the ruling had been
on file for some time, it became
an issue when United States At
torney George Morris Fay advised
the telephone company that more
than 300 telephones here were be-
ing used for gambling violations
and the telephones were promptly
removed.
Attorney John L. 1ngoldsby.
representing Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Katz, 1859 Walbridge place NV.
petitioned the PUG to throw out
the regulation but the petition
was denied. He then appealed to
District Court.
Before Judge Morris, Mr.. In
goldsby argued that removal of a
telephone means the complete
obliteration of a mans business"
and that "other people are Pc
nalized as well"
Contending the PUC-approved
regulation is unconstitutional and
void on it's face" Mr.. Ingoldsby
argued that the order infringes
free speech and due process Of
law, not only takes away the
right to telephone service but de-
nies the subscriber any damages
against the phone company and
is an unlawful delegation of au-
thority to a law enforcement
agency.
Judge Hats Argument.
Following Mr.. Ingoldsby, Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Lloyd
B. Harrison declared that even If
Judge Morris wiped out the PUG
Regulation, a similar regulation
still would be on file with the FEC.
"You mean to tell me am
Ipowerless to act?" asked Judge
morris. 81 will not hear another
word of argument until you get
this Strengthened out. If it makes
mo difference whether the court
rules on this. I refuse to hear
more"
AS the judge was leaving the
1 bench, Attorney Edmund L. Jones,
representing the telephone COM
pany, told him:
"Mr. Harrison is mistaken"
The judge told the lawyers to
come back this afternoon.
Mr.. Ingoldsby told a reporter
after the session that if Judge
Morris were to hold the disputed
regulation invalid, the FEC reg
ulation would fall with it.
