Second Edwards Trial
Opens nsIodalyinSIayiinlg!] d
OF Glen Burnie Couple
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 12.-Thomas
Alexander Edwards faced trial for
the second time here today on
charges that he murdered an Anne
Arundel County couple in q Sc
cluded lovers lane two years ago.
Edwards, a colored sugar re-
finery worker, is accused of the
pistol Staying of John Mahlan
and Mary Kline. whose bodies
were found in the lovers lane west
Of Annapolis on September 81,
1948.
Edwards was convicted Of the
double Staying and sentenced to be
hanged. but the State Court of
Appeals reversed the guilty verdict
and ordered q new trial.
The appeals court ruled that a
confession by Edwards. read into
the record at the original trial,
was obtained by improper induce
ment. and thus was inadmissable.
The improper inducement. the
Appeals Court said, was in the
form Of a letter from an inmate
of the Maryland Penitentiary to
Baltimore detective which said,
in part: Next time you get a
smart guy =. show him this letter.
Tell him what it cost me for
not listening to you.'
Showing that letter to Edwards,
the court said, was clearly a rec
ommendation to do what the off,
Ger told him to do constituted
such an inducement as to make
this confession inadmissable."
Edwards was arrested about
two months after the bodies of the
25-year-old postal clerk and his
18-year-old date were found. Dur
ing the trial the prosecution con-
tended that a pistol found in Ed
wards home was the one that
killed the couple.

Commissioner of Revenue. Duties

would be combined under a Fl

Even If the study commission
comes up with another recon-
mendation. the, present feeling OF
proponents of the county man
ager plan is against withdrawal
Of the referendum petition, &C
cording to Mr.. Ward.
Thus it appears that regardless
Of the commission recommends
ton, a vote on the proposal to
switch to the county manager
form will be held.
Results Awaited.
But supporters of the commits
sion say the least that can be
done is to see what the study
produces.
why, we don't know that the
form Of government should be
changed. much less what it should
be changed to-" declares John c.
Mackall. chairman Of the Com
mittee to Retain Representative
Government.
Supporters Of the present form
say that many Of the improve
ments which the suburban resi-
dents want could be instituted
without changing the system. if
the people want to pay the cost.
Criticizes. Present Form.
THE present form of govern
ment has proved completely in
adequate to meet modern. and
particularly community, needs, I"
Mr.. Ward states.
"One of the biggest problems
facing the county is to fence OF
farming areas from the urban
areas. This can be done under
the. county manager form by set
ting up what would in effect be
local improvement districts but
which would go under the name Of
sanitary districts"
Supporters OF the present form
say it Is changing with the needs.
They point out that the tax rate
has remained the same for the
past three years and that the cost
OF operation and maintenance of
general county government in at
least five countries. which have
some form Of county manager
government, is higher than In
Fairfax, according to latest fig
ures prepared by the State audi
tor Of public accounts.
Also, say the proponents of the
current system, there have been
three sanitary districts created in
the county and there could be
more. It Is all Q matter Of how
much the residents want to pay.

II Postal Zones
To Speed Mail
In Arlington
System Is Expected
To.Sove as Much as
Day in DeIiverTime

Establishment Of postal zones
in Arlington to speed mail deliv-
cry was announced today by Post
master Charles r. Simpson.
Second and third-class Soned
mail viii be delivered at least one
day ahead Of unzoned mail. First
class mail addressed to q zone
will skip one sorting operation at
the main post ONCE at North
Washington boulevard and North
Hudson street. The zone system
is now in operation in large cities
throughout the Nation.
Each zone covers the territory
served by q branch post office.
The Arlington zones are: /. main
ofice: 2. EadS Station; 8. Central
Station; 4, South Station; S, Pres
ton King Station; g.. darlington
Station.
Pentagon Not Affected.
Others are: z, North Station;
8. Arlington Farms, Arlington
Hall. Fort Myer South Post, Navy
Quarters K; 8, Rosslyn Station:
10, lock boxes, main station, and
II, Fort Myer Station.
MIR. Simpson pointed out that
the Pentagon and Navy Annex
are not served by Arlington. Mail
for those installations should be
addressed to Washington rs, D. C..
The zone system is expected to
be especially helpful in Arlington,
according to W., w. Weaver. as
sistant postmaster.
Mail Goes Everywhere.
Incoming mail from back
home" is approximately double
outgoing mail. Most of Arling-
tons 35,240 residents have moved
to the county within the last 10
years. i
In most cities, Mr.. Weaver says,
the bulk Of outgoing mail is des-
tined for the same city or the
same State. Arlington mail is
addressed to every State in the
Union and to foreign countries.
Most letters leaving the county
go to the Middle West.
The post ONCE has another
problem each Friday. On that
day, thousands Of weekly news

 Let's all work together to organize tourists bureau that will stress establishment of spring and winter travel season in Alaska the Northwestern Chamber of Commerce at Nome suggests And in this writer's opn- on we think Nomes got something -. .'-
 We do invite visitors to the Territory at time when we can least accommodate them. We urge through leaflets and advertising material that tourists see the land of the far north in the Why should we, 1 wonder? @~ ',~,-s '..
 All of our advertising much of our magazine material and our news stories Outside make much of the land of the ice and the long winter nights the rigd winter temperatures and the wonderful Aurora Bore alis. And then invite company to in season when they can't possibly enjoy any of these natural wonders.
 Frankly we can't see too much difference between Alaska in summertime and any of the Pacific northwest country And certainly it would be quite bit cheaper, and possibly whole lot comfortable for tourist to do his sightseeing there than to make the long trek north just to look at dusty roads, and to experi the bite of bigger mosquito We suspect that the Pacific Northwest variety of either would do equally as well.
 Certainly our towns and cities take much more pleasant appearance under winter blanket of conceal ing Our lack of garbage dumps, overgrown dooryards and general unkempt appearance isn't nearly evident in the winter-time.
 And for the purely tourist brand of visitor there's certainly lot do in the winter There's no hunt ing it's true but then of plain everyday Sts haven't the cash to put into nonresident hunting license and guides fees anyway Ice fishing be much fun, and is certainy much more novel, than the summer stream fishing. visit north in the winter would pre-suppose some skiing, skating and snoWshoe hiking but can't think of many places where tour st could enjoy these sports in the summer Opporuni ties for the amateur photographer unexcelled the year round, but think will deny that winter sunrses and sunsets top anything we've
