A pantheist is one who believes
the universe is God, but who
does not accept the doctrine of a

Charles M. Orme, suspended
Montgomery County police chief.
will be restored to duty at noon
tomorrow as the result of his
apology to the county manager
for statement in which he criti-
cized the use of one-man police
cars.
The action was taken last night
by the County Council at meet
ing with County Manager Irving
G.. McNayr a few hours after the
latter received Mr.. Orme's letter
of apology.
Mr.. McNayr suspended the chief
last Friday because of what an
article in The Star quoted him as
saying the day before. Mr.. Orme
was reported to have said the
one-man police car plan, which
had been placed in operation by
the county manager August /.
might spread police protection
too thin" and result in less pro-
lection for county residents.
Brought Strong Protests.
The suspension brought strong
protests from at least five county
organizations, including the Rock
vile Town Council and the Allied
Civic Group of Silver Spring.
At a meeting of the council
Tuesday, Mr.. McNayr charged the
police chief with "willful sabotage"
and presented a detailed list OF
other charges in an attempt to
support his request for the chiefs
dismissal.
The council took no action, how
ever, because three of the seven
members were absent and because
Mr.. Orrne had not had sufficient
time to answer the charges. The
group said a public hearing would
be held later.
In his letter, Mr.. Orme said:
II have reached the conclusion
that I should not have made the
statement to the newspaper re-
porters for which I was released
from duty.
Admits Error in Judgment.
II did not realize when I stated
my personal views concerning the
use of one-man cars in the day
time that this might be construed
as a condemnation of your action
and that of the council in estab-
fishing the system.
But in view of what happened.
I now see that my statement to
the newspapers could be so con-
strued. I regret very much that
I made the statement and I
wish to acknowledge that I
Shouldn't have made it and to
apologize to you, and the council
for this error In judgment on my
part"
Mr.. McNayr wrote an answering
letter in which he said, in part:
II have learned that many OF
the decisions and actions taken by
you recently have been made I'M
der the handicap Of severe illness
in your immediate family and am
convinced that under the circum-
stances charges pertaining to such
actions should be dropped.
He also expressed his assurances
OF highest personal regard"
