Custer Of Teacher
On Red Testimony
Faces Airing July II
By L. Edqor Primo


of Education is expected to con-
duct a thorough airing of the case
of q Montgomery Blair High
School teacher, who was fired after
Elizabeth T. Bentley named him
as a time member of the
Communist Party underground.
H. Stanley Stine, a board men,
ber, indicated this to The Star and
added that a discussion of the en-
tire matter of loyalty checks is
likely at the boards next meeting
July IL.
He said he was shocked" to
hear of the case, first brought to
his attention by a reporter for this
newspaper.
The teacher involved is William
w. Hinckley. 40. who had taught
English at Montgomery Blair for
three years. He was fired last
Friday, after school officials were
informed by O. Bowie Duckett,
special assistant State attorney
general. Of the closed-door testi-
mony of Miss Bentley and Mr..
Hinckley before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
on May 6 and June 8 respectively.
Law Violation Checked.
Miss Bentley is a self-confessed
former Soviet espionage courier,
whose disclosures have set off sew
eral congressional investigations in
the last two years.
Mr.. Duckett said he is studying
the committee testimony for pos
sible violation of the Maryland
Ober law. This controversial
statute, which faces a referendum
in November, requires that all
State and county employees sign
an affidavit stating they are not
members of a subversive organiza-
tion.
Miss Bentley made the follow
ing statement under oath to the
committee:
II signed Bill Hinckley's party
card, and he Immediately went
underground. He was attached to
Gilbert Green Ga top Communist
off1ciaD, who had been indicted. /"
When MIR. Hinckley took the
stand he refused to say whether
he was or had been a Communist,
or whether he knew Miss Bentley.
on grounds of possible self -incrim-
ination.
OuSted Without Explanation.
Reached today by telephone on
his farm near Germantown, Md,
Mr.. Hinckley said:
Its all so stupid. Obviously
I'm not Red"
He gave as his reference his
pupils and their parents. He de-
clared he was given no reason
for his custer and declined to dis
cuSs the case further.
DR.. Edwin Broome, county su-
Iperintendent Of shcools and the
man who fired Mr.. Hinckley, gave
this account Of the case:
II was summoned before Mr..
Duckett last Friday and read the
committee testimony. It came as
a total surprise to me, because Mr.
Hinckley had been q very good
teacher. I went home and i'm
mediately called Mr.. Hinckley and
told him he was fired. When he
asked why, I told him no reason
was necessary because he was an
employe in temporary status"
DR.. Broome then declared: 81
could never employ a teacher who
wouldn't say what he is"
The superintendent said that
Mr.. Hinckley had good references
from the American Red Cross
the United States Commissioner
Of Education and Montgomery
Junior College in Bethesda, all
former employers of the ousted
teacher.

his Unknown Heirs
No. 1888 Equity In The Circuit
Court For Washington County, Mary
land
The object of this suit is to remove
any cloud there may be on the title
of w. Thackara Brown and Esther K.
Brown, his wife, to certain property
known as Lot No. IA of Section IA
as shown on plat of "The Heights"
which plat is recorded among the
Land Records of Washington County
at folio 80, the said property being
on the East side of Mont Valla Ave-
nue. in Hagerstown, Washington
County, Maryland, being the same
property acquired by w. Thackara
Brown and Esther K. Brown from
Modern Builders, Inc. by deed dated
November Is, 1916, recorded among
the Land Records of Washington
County, Maryland.
The Bill states that w. Thackara
Brown and Esther K. Brown have
been residents of Hagerstown, Wash
ington County, Maryland, for more
than one year, that they have re-
manned in possession of the property
Ii Olll b1lC1 dCOllSlb1Oll VI IL W bIlC
present date, that they have been adj
vised there is a possible cloud on
their title to the property, that this
possibility arises because of the fact
that the present owners claim title
through tax sale proceedings in
March, 1885, against Harry j. Black
who was shown on the tax assess
ment records of Washington County
as the then owner of the property,
that the tax sale proceedings indicate
service of notice upon "the parties
by whom said taxes were to be paid"
but that the records of the Orphans
Court for Washington County, Mary
land, show that man by the name
of Harry j. Black had died on jan
uary rs, 1912.
The Bill states that in spite of dill
gent search W. Thackara Brown and
Esther K. Brown have been unable
to ascertain whether the Harry j.
Black who died on January Is, 1912
was the same Harry j. Black who
owned the property involved in these
proceedings nor have they been able
to ascertain whether the Harry J.
Black who did own the property is
still alive or if deceased, whether
there are any heirs, and if so, where
they might be located.
The Bill prays that this Honorable
Court pass a decree establishing the
rights of w. Thackara Brown and
Esther K. Brown in and to the prop
erty and removing the alleged cloud
on their title.
| 1t is thereupon this 18th day of
October, 1850 by the Circuit Court
for Washington County, Maryland,
ORDERED that the Compliments
cause copy of this order to be in
serted in some newspaper published
in Washington County, Maryland,
once in each of four successive weeks
prior to the 18th day of November,
1850, and thereby give notice to Har-
ry ]. Black or the unknown heirs of
Harry j. Black to be and appear in
this Court on or before the End day
of December, 1850 to answer the pre-
misses and show cause, if any they
have, why decree ought not to pass

Court 0verruIes FTC
On One Requirement

The Federal Trade Commission
can order patent medicine makers
to specify in their advertisement
what ailment, specifically, their
product is good for.
But when FTC directs the medi-
cine people to state also what all

all, the agency is going too far.
the United States Court OF Ap-
peals held yesterday.
The court, in a singing major
ity opinion by Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman, set that rule in a case
involving the Alberty Products Co.

Alberty came to court on behalf

firm was displeased with an FTC

when every effort you make seems
to leave you weak and spent, then

Having found that the tablets
fail to help the blood except in
cases of simple iron-deficiencv
anemia, FTC ordered the firm to
state as much in its ads. Alberty
felt that part of the order rea-
sonable, but baked at the addi-
tional requirement that the ads
must state:
That the condition of lassitude
is caused less frequently by sim
pie iron-deficiency anemia than
by other causes and that in such
cases this preparation will not DO

In short, commented the court.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Mar. 2l-
The $64 question confronting the
Republican Party in Connecticut
today is whom to nominate for
Governor.
Once that is settled. the other
figures in the political jigsaW
puzzle will fall into place, includ-
ing two Senate nominations.
The State elects two Senators
next November due to the resigna-
ton of Raymond Baldwin from
the Senate to accept an appoint
ment to the State Supreme Court
from Democratic Gov. Chester
BoWleS.
Several presentable candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination
have been trotted out by various
Republican leaders. Representa-
tive John Davis Lodge, brother of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of
Massachusetts,, is one of the latest,
and his supporters say that he is
the man above all others who can
defeat Gov. BoWles, a New Dealer
Fair Dealer and ADA.
Others in the list of tentative
candidates for Governor include
former Gov. James c. Shannon,
Albert N. Jorgensen, president of
the University of Connecticut;
Kenaeth Bradley, former Repub-
lican State chairman and Ma
Itional committeeman: Edward N.
Allen, former Mayor of Hartford,
and Judge William M. Maltbie,
former chief justice of the State
Supreme Court who recently re-
tired.
There are two very good rea-
sons why the Republicans should
settle soon on a capable guberna-
torial candidate.
First, they find themselves up
against a versatile advertising
man in Gov. Bowles. He made a
fortune in the business and then
retired from it at 38 years of age
to enter public service and politics.
Second, since in Connecticut
the voters can pull the lever on
voting machines Just once and
vote straight party ticket and
the gubernatorial candidates are
first on the ballot. 1t is essential
that the gubernatorial candidate
be good selection-and one who
has a chance to defeat Gov.
BoWles.
There is third reason-Which
makes some of the Republicans
see red. On the selection of the
gubernatorial candidate may de-
pend the decision of Mrs. Clare
Booth Luce to run for the Senate.
