of the bills approved by the

any great number do not fit into
these categories. Gov. Lane indi-

putting into immediate effect in
come tax reductions which he had
sponsored. He vetoed another,
which would have set up a State
commission on alcoholism.

The man told Mr.. Lee he had
been called in from out of town
by an organization" to stage the
robbery. He repeated several
times that nobody got hurt" and
left the impression that some
body might still get hurt unless
Mr.. Lee followed his suggestion

The caller hung up after telling
Mr.. Lee he would call back to-
morrow or Thursday to arrange
the return Of Mr.. Lees personal

IN a Washington garage, was at
"a tobacco and chicken farm he
owns near Cheltenham, Md, in
Prince Georges County, when the
robbery occurred.

Promised by Prince Georges

Prince Georges County will give
immediate attention to a State
inspectors criticism of its jail, a
high official said today.
In a report filed with the State
Board of Correction, Inspector
Wallace Reidt declared he found
corridors and cells of the Upper
Marlboro prison dirty, feeding
arrangements unsatisfactory and
jailors uncertain of their ability
to handle prisoners.
Mr.. Reidt said, also. that pris-
oners are unusually surly and anx-
ious to make trouble.

today" said Harry w. McNamee,
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners. when we do,
we'll have the sheriff there to
go over the report with us to see
whether improvements can be
brought about"
Under Maryland law, the sheriff
is directly responsible for the jail.
He appoints the jailor.
At the Montgomery County
Jail, Mr.. Reidt said the kitchen
was clean, women and juvenile
quarters were in good condition
but some plumbing was leaking.
He said prisoners reported the
food served twice daily is ade-
quate but that they wanted thres
meals a day. u
Mr.. Reidt recommended that
the Montgomery jail be placed
under supervision of the County
Council-a step which some Char
ter leaders have advocated. The
inspector said the entire jail
should be painted and he urged
that the warden have an assist
ant on duty with him during the
day.
The report said Frederick Coun-
ty would have Maryland's most
modern type jail" when pending
renovations are completed.
The inspector expressed hope
that eventually the jail will be

Appeals Court Asked
To Rule on Maryland
Segregation Compact
Blythe Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 14.-The
Court of Appeals was asked today
to decide whether Maryland can
use Southern educational COM
pact to bolster its policy of seq
lregating white and Negro students.
It can do so and still provide
equal educational opportunities to
Negroes. argued the State.
1t cannot, asserted lawyers for
a 19-year-old Baltimore colored
girl who wants to attend the Uni
versity of Maryland Nursing
School.
The university f1outed the Con-
stitution by rejecting the girls
application last year, the court
was told.
Charter Member of Compact.
"The University of Maryland
seems determined to maintain its
policy of exclusion of Negroes
solely because of race or color
without making any serious effort
to meet even the minimum re-
quirements of separate but
|equal,'" the girls attorneys said.
Although whites and Negroes
may be separated" their oppor-
tunities must be substantially
equal" Federal and State courts
have held.
Maryland became a charter
member of the compact for south
ern regional education a year
ago.
1t provides for higher education
of whites or Negroes of 10 south
ern states at both jointly owned
and state institutions.
Sought Court Order
Esther McCready of Baltimore
wants none Of it.
She applied February /, 1949.
for admission to the Maryland
School of Nursing. She went to
court in July. seeking an order to
compel the university to act on
her application.
In August. the university sug-
gested she try the Meharry Medi-
cal College at Nashville, Tenn.
under the regional compact. Her
travelling expenses would be paid
and it would cost her no more
than attending the Maryland
school.
She insisted upon her right"
to attend college in her own state,
Miss McCready's lawyers said.
One of her attorneys then, who
represented her again today, was
Donald G. Murray. In 1885 he be-
came the first Negro admitted to
the University of Maryland Law
School. He had won a Court of
Appeals order upsetting racial
barriers.

direct authority of the Frederick
County commissioners.
Excerpts from the report on
Prince Georges follow:
"The corridors and cells were
found to be in rather dirty con-
dition and the mattresses were
in very dirty condition also and
many of them were unfit for use.
No towels are given prisoners and
there are no mattress covers.
There were reaches in the cells.
Meals are served in the cells.
Food is contracted for to a
restaurant at the rate Of 80 cents
(per prisoner) per day. Two meals
per day are served and there was
considerable complaint as to both
quantity and quality. The in
spector was again present on two
separate occasions when food was
being served in the evening. It
appeared wholesome and of suffi-
cient quality and the complaints
there were not justified.
There always seems to be a
very tense situation at this Jail.
The inspector has made it a
point to visit this place every cou-
pie of months and things are
never good. The prisoners are
usually surly and anxious to
make trouble and overcrowding is
very serious. In addition, the
jailors do not seem to have COM
|plete confidence In themselves to
handle prisoners"
improvements listed by the re-
port were: Entire plumbing and
electrical system everhauled, oil
burner installed.
The report recommended that
the county take steps to provide
for meals to be prepared and
served at jail, that three meals
per day be provided.
"A careful check should also be
kept on the Jail population and
the facts brought weekly to the
attention Of the court" the report
said.

Ex-D. C.. School Official Wins
$4,000 Prize in New England
Chester w. Holmes
Entered Contest to
Get Son Ndeo Set

DR.. Chester w. Holmes, former
assistant superintendent of Dis
trict public schools, is $4,000
richer today because of his love
for New England and his 11-year-
old sons interest in television.
He won first prize in Know
New England" contest sponsored
by the Boston Herald-Traveler
which he entered at the prompt
ing of his son Richard. More
than 100000 persons participated
in the contest.
DR.. Holmes, who left Washing
ton in 1916 to become superin-
tendent of schools in Maiden
Mass, correctly identified 80 New
England towns from clues in
sketches written by Kenneth Rob-
erts, well-known novelist, and
wrote a 35-word essay telling why
he liked the sponsoring news
paper.
After receiving the prize money
Tree OF income tax, DR.. Holmes
said he had no immediate plans
for spending it other than to buy
a television set for his son.
Richard had been teasing his
father for a television set for
some time, but the 56-year- -old
educator always told him the fam
lily budget could not afford such
an expenditure. When the con-
test opened Richard told his
father to enter and win enough
to buy set.
DR.. Holmes. who left the Dis
trict public school system after 18
years service because he loved
New England, found it easy to
identify the 80 towns. But he put
off writing the essay until the
last day of the contest.

Billy might be called the Win

he always there with the latest
news and gossip around town, but
Billy has gone beyond that to do
much work towards furthering
the democratic understanding in
this country. He has been a jour
nalistic trailblazer for the Negro
race and we are justly proud of
him for his broad viewpoints.
Untiring, Billy is one of the
most active men I know. A one

If l didn't know better I'd pic
ture his home life as a sort of
pent up cyclone. can see him
painting the dining room with one
hand, phoning City Hall with the
phone on his shoulder while he
stirred the soup with his other
hand and tapped out his column
on the portable with his big toe.
Actually Billy is a charming
guy at all times, both when re-
taxing and when working, and as
evenly balanced a person as I
know. I toast him here and now.
Funny how different and yet
how alike is Dan Burley.. I always
think of Dan and Billy together
so that's why I'm speaking of Dan
when it's Billy who's being toast

Dan is as slow-moving as Billy
is active, and yet Dan gets 10000

much accomplished. He's another
guy who deserves a testimoniJ

make me feel silly to call myself

despite the many editors who are
kind enough to print this drivel).
