her outstanding act Of heroism but
also labor, management and pri-
vate citizens for their unselfish eff

come true. 1t was a great act of

and Mayor Martin H. Kennedy.

Ruth, 6.
Roberta later returned to the hos

Just another big improve
ment in our constant search
for means to produce finer
quality work.
The first thing the plumbers
wanted to know when we got
it all set was which valve to
open to get the Old Taylor.
We had a big crew on the
job getting our installation
made and taking care of our
annual clean-out. We work
ed well into the night.
Did you hear about the man
who stayed up all night trying
to figure out where the sun went
when it went down? Finally it
dawned on him.
In spite of all claims to the
contrary, old Sol is still the
oldest settler in the west.
AS Confusion say, he who
rises early with the sun shouldn't
stay up late with the daughter.
We heard about a little boy
who got a sun tan in school.
He got so %michievOus, the
teacher had to tan his hide.
But the sad case was the wife
who couldn't get a sun tan at
the seashore last summer because
her husband had her Swallowed.
Summer time, or winter,
you'll find that we give you

Judge Questions
Law Lega|izing
Slot Machines
Morbuy Will Decide
II FoiIure to Repeal
Bon Voids New Act

Failure to provide specifically
for the repeal Of Maryland's anti
gambling laws may throw out the
new law legalizing slot machines
In Prince Georges County.
This was indicated in the
county Circuit Court yesterday
when Judge Charles c. Marbury
questioned the validity Of the new
measure.
Announcing he would render
his decision on the issue within
the next few days." Judge Mar
bury directed counsel for the
county commissioners not to issue
any licenses until the question is
settled.
Approved IN Referendum.
County voters. by a 964-vote
margin, approved legalization Of
slot machines in a referendum
June 2. It's still Illegal. however,
for the machines to pay of in
cash pending issuance of licenses.
The validity question was
brought UP during arguments on
a suit filed against the commits
sioners by c. Walter Hendrix Of
Silver Spring. Mr.. Hendrix con-
tended a nonresidence clause
would bar him from future busi-
ness in the county and thus cause
an "irreparable loss"
Judge Marbury told reporters
after the court session he will
pass on the constitutionality of
the entire slot machine law. He
said he also will determine the
rights of Mr.. Hendrix to operate
machines in the county.
The Judge said he could find no
reference to repeal in either the
statute or its title. He explained
that slot machine laws in other
Maryland counties contain pro-
visions amending or repeating the
antigaming measures.
Provision on Residence.
The Jur1St said ne WILL STUDY
one particular section of the pres
ent law to determine If it is
strong enough to imply repeal Of
the State CODE"
The law contains O provision
that machine operators must be
residents. property owners and
voters In the county for at least
two years before applying for a
license.
The commissioners were repre-
sented at yesterdays hearing by
