Suit Opposing Vote
On Slot Machines in
Prince Georges Filed

A suit seeking to block the ref
erendum scheduled June on q
proposal to legalize slot machines
in Prince Georges County was
filed yesterday in County Circuit
Court at Upper Marlboro.
The action was brought against
the Board of County Commission
ers by c. Walter Hendrix Of Silver
Spring. Peter Cotsifas. Hyattsville.
and the General Amusement Co..
Baltimore.
According to the suit. Mr. Hen
dirk is the principal stockholdef
in the General Amusement Co.
which has operated pinball
machines and similar amusement
devices In the county for IA years,
The firm would be barred from
further operations in the county
because of a provision OF the new
law which limits licenses 10 voters
and property owners who have
been residents of the county at
least two years.
Circuit Court Judge Charles c.
Marbury signed an order directing
the county commissioners TO show
cause by Wednesday why the in
junction should not be issued.
Law Called Unconstitutional.
Through their attorney. Walter
L. Green. the plaintiffs claim the
law passed at the last session OF
the General Assembly which le-
galiZed slot machines. subject 70
a referendum, is unconstitutional
They direct particular criticism,
at the nonresident provision in
the law which. they contend. Is
arbitrary and discriminatory = .
and has no reference to the pro-
lection of the public"
Three Charges Made.
In addition. the suit charges
that the law:
/. Sets up no standards OF good
character for prospective licensees
| 2. Has no requirement for
bond upon which persons having
grievances could resort for relief
! 3. Gives no authority to regulate
the business for which the licenses
are issued nor TO revoke said
licenses for any causewhatsoever y
Finally. the suit claims that the
bill fails to repeal State Law
prohibiting gambling and there
fore leaves the latter In full
force"

situation, as seen by Mr.. Lie, has
been the evolution of theU. N.
General Assembly into zone of
the strongest forces for peace that
the Wolrd has ever seen" This pro
cess is described in three phases:
first, the A%ssembly's moderating
Influence on the Great Powers; Sc
cond, its evolution into a testing
ground of the policies of the Mem
Der nations; and third, the As
sembly's demonstration of its
ability to apply the powers grant
ed to it by the Charter for conci-
liation and peaceful adjustment
as a powerful complement to THE
work of the Security Council in
the prevention of war.
Mr.. Lie recalled the basic pre-
misses on which U. N. was estab-
lished at San Francisco, where
the function of the Organization
was mapped. It was not believed
then that the United Nations
would or could abolish differences
of interests and theology, he said.
What the founders of u. N. did
believe was that the Organization
would make it possible to keep
both great and small power dis
putes within peaceful limits.
"The record of the United Ma
lions during the past twelve
months has clearly confirmed the
wisdom of the SanFrancisco con
cept ..."
Even though Big Power diff
culties have not been resolved by
NJ, they have been kept with
in peaceful bounds and the way
has been prepared for further pro
gress towards a settlement. In
the meantime, the work of the
United Nations has gone right a

head; it has stopped wars in diff
ferent parts of the world; and it
has developed international COOP
Grafton in almost every field of hu
man activity on a scale never be-
fore attempted" :
After dealing with the work of
U. N. observers and negotiators in
Berlin, Palestine, Indonesia, Kash-
mir, Greece, and Korea, Mr.. Lie
declared that the past year had
shown hat "the primary instru-
ments in the preservation of peace
are those of peaceful settlement, !"
or, in the words of the Charter,
negotiation, enquiry, mediation,
Cancellation, arbitration, judicial
settlement, and resort to regional
agencies or arrangements"
The Generals report
also enumerates the many other
fields in which U.N. is today show
ing its leadership, such as the his
tory-making Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide; and the found
atoms for a world rule of law laid
down in the decisions and advise
ry opinions of the International
Court of Justice, in the work of
the International Law Commission
and in the recommendations and
conventions adopted by the Gene
raj Assembly.
I'm spite of all political and
theological differences, U.N. is de-
veloping an economic and social
program aimed at raising the STAN
dards of living of the less-develop-
ed countries of the world and at
increasing the sense of response
bility of the community of nations
for the welfare of each of its mem
bers."
