Six County Libraries
Show Circulation Rise
Under New System

Six Montgomery County libra
ries have experienced sharp in
creases in circulation since they
joined the country wide library
system last July l.
According to George B. More
land, director of the library de-
partment, the three libraries in
the Silver Spring area reported
a 1000 jump over any previous
month in the number of books
issued.
The Noyes Library in Kensing-
ton gave out 1889 books last
month as compared with 910 the
month before and 900 during
July, 1850.
At the Gaithersburg Library
about twice as many cards were
issued as during any month in its
history. And the number of books
borrowed from the Garret Park
Library was three times that OF
any previous month.
No figures have been compiled
for the seventh county library al
Sandy Spring.
Three other libraries have not
yet joined the county system
They are Takoma Park, Bethesda
and Rockville.
Mr.. Moreland attributed the in
creaseS principally to additiona,
funds made available by the
county for buying books. He also
pointed out that the law permits
any Montgomery resident to bor-
row books from any of the libra
ries in the county system.
He added that the department
has an agreemcr- with the Lii
brary Of Congress under which il
can borrow books in response to
specific requests by Montgomery
library patrons. Nearly 20 such
requests have been filled during
the past month, he said.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 11.-A re-
duction in the $75. 900 bonds under
which three alleged Communists
are being held in Jail here prob
ably will be granted Tuesday by
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut in Fed
eral Court.
The judge indicated as much

more, said by the FBI to be off,
clal counsel for the party. and
George A. Meyers, 35, Baltimore
labor official.
Missing Reds Cited.
District Attorney Bernard ].
Flynn opposed reduction of the
bonds and cited the fact that four
OF II Reds convicted in New York
after a lengthy trial skipped bond,
as did members of another group
arrested more recently.
i say to you, SIR" Mr.. Flynn
continued, that these disappear
ances are part of a pattern of
these people in that some out of
each group shall escape"
Attorney Joseph Forer, who ap-
peared for Wood, called the bonds
arbitrary and excessive" and
suggested that $4,000 would be
reasonable" amount. The at
torney attacked the validity of
the arrest warrants, declaring they
were issued without sufficient basis
of fact.
Challenges Intention.
Attorney Harold Buchanan of
Baltimore, representing Braver-
man and Meyers, said the $75,-
600 bonds were another way of
jailing these men and throwing
away the key"
The judge agreed the bail
seemed unreasonable, but added
that an amount like $4,000 was
unreasonable also.
Defense counsel pointed out
that the three men were of mod
est means. The judge replied
that fairly high bonds seemed
necessary because of past expert
ence and the fact that facilities
for travel have improved"
Mr.. Flynn declared that bonds
put up for some Communists were
not offered in good faith. He
said the bondsman shares respon- /.
sibility with the defendant for
prompt appearance before the
court.
