Upheovo in Prince Georges
Prince Georges G. O. P. Pledged
To Survey County Government

This would require a speedy sur
vey and an early public hearing
on any recommendations made by
the independent agency.
In adjoining Montgomery Coun-
ty, a similar survey that led to
adoption of a new charter was
conducted over a period of two
years. This was an unusual case,
however. The Brookings Institu-
tion, which bore a large part OF
the cost of the exhaustive study,
undertook the job with an under
standing that staff members would
work on the project only as spare
time permitted.
Manager Favored in Plank.
1t is agreed generally that a
comparable survey of Prince
Georges County could be COM
pleted within a few months. But
it remains to be seen. whether
this study can be finished, and
the public hearing held, in time
to guide the 1851 Legislature.
One plank in the Republican
platform recommended" appoint
ment of a county manager after
the Sothoron Law is repealed.
Mr.. Fletcher pointed out, how
ever, that this recommendation
does not fatty commit the party
to a county manager system. He
said priority goes to the plank
promising a public hearing on
survey findings.

gave his services free. They said
Mr.. Rosenthal's appointment de-

Lano in Second Appeal
Asks Court 10 Upset
Exfortion Conviction
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 16.-Sam
Lano has asked the Court of Ap-
peals for the second time to upset
his conviction on an extortion
charge.
Lano was found guilty under a
statute the Maryland Legislature
actually intended to repeal more
than so years ago, Lano's lawyers
said. Somehow the provision
crept into a supplement to the
code of laws.
Yesterday marked Lano's Sec
ond appeal of a Prince Georges
County court decision convicting
him of threatening the owner of
|Duffy's Tavern in the 1900 block
of Rhode Island avenue, Brent
wood.
Denied Threats.
The State said Lano warned he
would file a bad check charge un-
less John Duffy kept two slot
machines owned by Lano in the
tavern.
Lano "categorically denied max
ing any threats" his counsel said
in a brief prepared for the first
appeal last spring.
In a unanimous decision the ap-
|pellate court then upheld a one
year sentence ordered by Circuit
Judge John B. Gray, jr. A month
later it granted a new hearing.
Lano's original counsel had not
appeared for the earlier arguments
because they had not received a
copy of the States brief.
Faulty Indictment Claimed.
Lano contended yesterday that
the indictment by which he was
charged with false accusation was
faulty. His attorneys asserted:
There is not one line of evi-
dence which sustains the con-
clusion that Gano) accused or
threatened, falsely or otherwise,
any person with the crime of false
pretenses. -"
They sought either an acquital
or new trial.
The State defended Judge
Gray's dismissal of Lano's objec-
tions to the indictment.
"All allegations necessary to ap-
prise the accused of the charge
placed against him were included"
the State said.

Limit Set on Fund Drives =
Among Arlington Pupils

Fund drives among Arlington
students will be limited to causes
which can be of educational value.
A new policy assigns selected
drives for contributions to differ
ent age groups and grades.
Supt. William A. Early said that
the requests for fund drives are so
numerous that to grant them all
would leave no time for regular
class work and might work a
hardship on some children"
This week, sixth grade students
are soliciting used clothing TO be
sent to needy areas in this coun-
try and for foreign relief.
A drive in connection with the
Freedom Bell in Berlin was as
signed to the senior class at Wash
ington-Lee High School. A collec-
tion to help pay for a fountain at
United Nations headquarters is
limited to the eighth grade, which
is studying world government. The
latter project is sponsored by Mrs.
John S. Battle, wife of the Gov
ernOr.

Women Ask 6. 0. P.
To Test Sothoron Law
In Prince Georges

The Prince Georges County Re-
publican Party last night was
asked to institute court action to
test the Sothoron Law and to ap-
point a county manager on q
temporary basis pending results of
a county survey.
A four point program was sug-
gested in a letter to John r.
Fletcher. successful COP candi-
date for the Maryland State Sem
ate and also chairman of the
county's Republican State Central
Committee. The recommendations
were from the county's League of
Women Voters.
The letter. signed by Mrs. Irma
Bogdanoff, league president, urged
immediate steps to obtain a re-
straining order against the opera
ton of the Sothoron bill which
revised the form of county govern
ment.
The league asked that survey
be ordered to assess present gov
ernmental needs and that public
hearings be held on the recon-
mendations.
Pointing out that the Republi-
can platform calls for a survey,
hiring county manager and re-
peal of the Sothoron bill. the
league reminded Mr.. Fletcher that
it had requested the present Dem
ocratic Board of Commissioners
for a survey several years ago."
The league said it also believes
that IAN impartial qualified and
efficient county manager would
bring a more effective and efficient
administration Of our county af-
fairs"
Evening star., 1950-11-16

before the Republican sweep on
November Z, said in part:
1.-THE Republican Party believes
that, as now administered. the
present commission form of gov
ernment is cumbersome and
wasteful of the taxpayers money.
1t therefore proposes that:
"A complete survey of the coun-
ty government shall be made by
an independent agency not con-
nected or in any way affiliated
with either political party, and
the finding of the agency be made
public; that hearing be had on
these proposals before steps are
taken to adopt or reject same"
Reaction Adverse.
Since the election, party spokes-
men have had little specific to
say about what they will do when
they take Office. The day after
they won, party worker was
quoted as saying certain Demo-
cratic heads would roll as soon as
the Republicans get around to
making appointments.
The reaction so disturbed the
G. o. P. high command that it
counseled silence among the newly
elected officers. So everybody
clammed up.
But John r. Fletcher, who was
elected State Senator over the
Democratic incumbent, L. Harold
Sothoron. has ha6 a few observa-
tions. He declared this week that
the Government survey will be-
come the first order of business -
for the commissioners.
Though Mr.. Fletcher will not
be a member of the new board,
he speaks with authority. He is
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for Prince
Georges. He played a leading
role in the campaign which
brought the party control of the
legislative delegation as well as
every commissioners Office.
Assembly Must Approve.
With the regard to the survey,
time appears to be of the essence.
If there is to be a change in
the form of government for Prince
Georges, permissive legislation
must be passed by the Maryland
General Assembly. The assembly
convenes in January for three
months.
Home. rule advocates in the
county hope the 1851 assembly
will act on the matter. But to
be considered. the legislation
probably would have to be intro
duced by the end of February.
