State Urged 10 Tighten
Welfare Fraud Laws
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-Judge
Joseph Sherbow of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City wants the
General Assembly to change the
law dealing with frauds on the
Welfare Department so that prose
cutions will be easier.
Judge Sherbow suggested
amending the statute yesterday
after hearing case in which a
woman charged with defrauding
the Welfare Department OF $2,50O
over f1ve-year period was SUBJ
ject to prosecution only for one
monthly relief payment of S132
because of legal limitations.
The woman failed to notify the
Welfare Department she received
Federal survivors payments be-
tween 1914 and 1949, the testi-
mony showed, while she was re-
ceiving welfare payments ranging
from $50 to $132 a month.
The Welfare Department did
not learn of the Government pay
ments until 1949, and an indict-
ment against her was not OBJ
tanned until this year.
Judge Sherbow noted that if
the prosecution had been delayed
one more month, the woman could
have gone "scot free" The jurist
deferred sentencing pending a
more thorough investigation.

Fairfax Trailer Ordinance
Faces State Court Review
BY fhe Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 25.-A
case questioning the validity
of Fairfax County's so called
trailer park ordinance, will be
reviewed by the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals.
A petition for a writ of error
was awarded by the court yester-
day to the Fairfax County Board
OF Supervisors. The county's Pc
tition contends the trailer park
ordinance is valid under acts of
the General Assembly which au-
thorize all counties in the State
to require licenses and to impose
license taxes on trailer park op-
orators.
In its present form the Fairfax
County ordinance provides that
no person shall operate a trailer
park without obtaining necessary
certificates from the county board
OF health and the board of
supervisors.
Section 2 of the ordinance
makes it crime to park trailer
anywhere except on a trailer lot
for which the operator has OBJ
tanned a permit and a license.
The suit testing the validity of the
ordinance was originally brought
in Fairfax County Circuit Court
by the American Trailer Co., Inc,
which operates two trailer camps
in the county. The case was
heard without jury and the trial
judge held the ordinance was in
valid,

Idea Of Referendum
ion Enrolling Negroes
AtU. Of N. Suggested
BY the Asseeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-The
university of Maryland Board of
Regents today discussed new ap-
proach on an old question: How
can the State provide equal edu-
cational facilities for Negroes?
The answer. taken up only as
q possibility: Let the people vote
on whether to admit Negroes to
the university or spend millions of
dollars for facilities equal to those
offered white students.
The approach was introduced
rather offhandedly by DR.. H. c.
Byrd. university president, at a
meeting Of the regents yesterday.
He said an Eastern Shoreman had
suggested a referendum bill on
the issue.
He recalled the suggestion after
telling the regents he believes
the thing to do" about the Negro
education question is "to get it
out before the people"
Other Suits Pending.
The Supreme Court already has
ruled that the university must
admit a Negro applicant, Esther
McCready, to its school of nursing.
Other suits are pending on ap-
plications for admission to its
schools OF engineering, pharmacy
and dentistry. department of home
economics and graduate courses
in sociology.
Earlier this week, DR.. Byrd asked
the State for SIS million to finance
new construction. This included
S3.6 million for work at Princess
Anne College, a branch for Negroes
at Princess Anne. The university's
main campus is at College Park,
and it also has schools of law,
dentistry and medicine in Balti-
more.
During the boards discussion of
the university's financial request,
DR.. Byrd said the State should
decide what it is going. to do about
the Negro education issue.
Favors Early Decision.
He said he believes it must de-
eide soon whether Negro students
are to be admitted to the College
Park campus. It's either that.
he said, or build equal Negro edu-
cation facilities.
It would be cheaper to admit
them to the university, he added.
but II think 80 per cent of the
Negro people would rather 90 to
their own institution"
Judge William P. Cole jr.
chairman of the board, cut the
discussion short by pointing out
the board would have to get an
opinion from the United States
Attorney General and check ex-
isting court rulings before it could
take a stand.

Malfeasance charges against
Andrew A. Kramer, former

being handled like similar cases
and soon will reach the arraign-
ment stage, United States Attor-
ney Bernard j. Flynn of Mary

Kramer, 57-year-old former
president of the Annapolis Bank
ing & Trust Co., was indicted Oc-
tober 81 on three counts charging
cash and stock manipulations in
volving about $4,480. The indict-
ment became known November II
when Kramer went to Baltimore
to post $1,000 bond, Mr.. Flynn
said.
The United States Attorney said
that in accordance with "fre-
quent" procedure in cases of that
kind the indictment was not made
public until Kramer made bond.
Political Significance Denied.

news of indictments right away
because man might hop a boat
to some other country" he ex-
planned II don't think there was
any unusual delay in arranging
for Kramer to come to Baltimore
to make bond. Also, the amount
of the bond is in line with the
charge"
Mr.. Flynn denied there was any
political significance in the fact
that the indictment did not be-
come known until after election.
He did not know whether Kramer
was Democrat or Republican, he
declared.
Kramer has $250,0oo slander
suit pending against three direc-
tors and the attorney of the An
napolis bank from which he was
dropped as president last Jan
uary.
FBI Provided Evidence.
The indictment, Mr.. Flynn said,
came mainly on the basis of evil
dence provided by the FBI. 1t
charges that Kramer made a false
entry of $3.50 on a mortgage
balance account in the banks
ledger in November. 1947.
The second count charges that
he misapplied approximately
$4,000 of the banks stock tohim-
self. This allegedly involved a
stock certificate he caused to be
Cancelled and others to be issued
in his name. Kramer had sold
the certificate to another man
who delivered it to the bank with
instructions to have it transferred
to others, Mr.. Flynn said.
The third count charged that
Kramer appropriated to his own
use $500 which was part payment
of a Judgment obtained by the
