NeKeIdin Weighs Bill
To Extend County
Drinking Into Sunday
BY a Star staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, May Gov. Nc
Keldin today studied arguments
for and against a bill passed by
the last Legislature which would
permit specially licensed night
clubs in Prince Georges County
to remain open until 2 am. Sun
days.
Some IS religious and civic lead
ers of the county opposed the
measure at a hearing in the exec
utive offices yesterday and in a
separate conference four repre-
sentatives of the county Hotel and
Restaurant Association presented
the views OF proponents.
Fletcher Urges Veto.
Prince Georges Republican
State Senator John r. Fletcher
introduced speakers opposing the
bill and urged the Governors dis
approval. He said a majority of
the county's delegates consider the
plan unwise and that the sheriff
and States Attorney have OBJ
jected.
Senator Fletcher also read ex-
cerpts from the report of the last
grand jury eondemning the pro-
posal.
Milton F. Barrett, spokesman
for the hotel association, said the
extra hours, especially on Sunday
mornings, can mean the differ
ence between red and black ink
for the 10 places he said would
be permitted to operate.
Bill Held Misunderstood.
Mr.. Barrett told the Governor
the bill has met opposition chief
~ because its provisions have been
misunderstood. He explained that
olives" would not benefit be-
cause only those establishments
having restaurant facilities, en-
tertainment and seating capaci /.
ties for at least 100 persons would
be authorized to remain open af-
ter midnight.
Gov. McKeldin remarked after
both sides had been heard that
1T is not an easy matter to de-
eide" but declined further COM
ment.
Earlier, he had said to Senator
Fletcher. II am confident that I
can safely follow your. advice on
matters such as this" The latter
observation led close observers of
administration procedure to pre-
dict that the bill would be vetoed

Lano Exfonion Charqe
Ignored by Grand Jury
In Prince Georges

A Prince Georges County grand
jury has ignored an extortion
charge against Sam Lano, area
slot machine and pinball machine
distributor, States Attorney Car
lyle j. Lancaster said today.
Lano, now under indictment in
Arlington on perjury charges, was
a central figure in the trial last
week of Daniel A. Dugan, member
of the Arlington County Board,
who was found not guilty Satur-
day of malfeasance in Office.
In Prince Georges, Mr.. Lam
caster said a one-year statute of
limitations probably would pre-
vent the prosecution of the mis-
demeanor charge against Lano,
even had the grand jury chosen
to return an indictment. Mr..
Lancaster said he presented the
case to the jury two weeks ago,
however. Witnesses in the case
have moved from the jurisdiction
of the court, Mr.. Lancaster added.
Was Convicted of Threat.
Lano was convicted in January,
1850, in Prince Georges County
Circuit Court for threatening John
Duffy, operator of Duffy's Tavern,
1900 block Of Rhode Island ave-
nue., Mount Rainier. He was ac-
cused by a grand jury of "unlaw-
fully" threatening to prosecute
Mr.. Duffy on a bad check charge
unless Mr.. Duffy installed two of
his slot machines.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
first sustained the conviction,
which carried a years sentence,
but later reversed itself and or
dered new trial. The high court
said the Indictment was errone-
ously drawn and should have
charged falsely" accusing Mr..
Duffy instead of "unlawfully, ;"
accusing him.
Lan0 Was Witness.
In the nearby Virginia county,
Mr.. Dugan admitted at his trial
that he had been a close friend
Of Lano but broke of his relation
ship, except in a few instances,
after Lano's pinball machines were
seized in Arlington.
Lano was a witness before the
Arlington grand jury that had
indicted Mr.. Dugan. The grand
jury charged Lano with perjury.
It said he had denied that he gave
Mr.. Dugan birthday presents last
July 4. Mr.. Dugan has admitted
that Lano gave him shirts, ties
and cuff links.

Taxes
Raised Average
OF II Per Cent
County Board Adopts
SITS Rote to Finonce
$l1,750,0O0 Budget

Arlington's residents face the
prospect OF an II per cent average
increase in their tax bills.
The County Board last night
unanimously approved tax rate
of $2.75 per $10O Of property val
|uation to finance a record budget
|of approximately $11.750, 900.
Schools will receive $40 million.
A rate Of $2.65 was originally
proposed. The 10-cent increase
was passed to give all county en-
|ployes, including teachers, q $4O0
per year salary increase.
Property Reassessed.
The $2.75 rate will be divided
between schools, which will re-
|ceive $l.47, and general county
operations. $1.23.
The 1950-51 budget was So
248,225 and was financed by a
rate of 1858. The 88-cent re-
duction will not reduce tax bills,
however. because a reassessment
program last year raised total
property values about rs per cent.
Some property owners whose as
Sessments were increased over 100
per cent face a much sitter tax
rise than II per cent.
A rate Of $2.17 would have
brought in the same revenue as
last year. County Manager A. r.
Lundberg and School Supt. Will
liam A. Early had originally rec
Commended 5000 salary increase.
The additional 5000 approved by
the County Board last night will
cost about $184,000 for teachers
and about 100000 for police
men, f1remen and other county
employees.
New Salaries Financed.
Seven cents of the 10-cent in
Grease will pay the additional
teachers salaries. The remaining
3 cents will bring in $68, 900 to
help pay the new $500 increase
for other county employees. The
rest was obtained from a $3.50 900
contingency fund and from an
account set up to establish twice.

Arlington Man Faces
Burglary Trial Today
Il Thefts

An Arlington man was to be
tried today in Arlington County
Court on IL counts of housebreak-
ing involving burglaries of that
many homes In the last six
months
He is w. Raymond Marsh, %,

Marsh narrowly avoided being

versation and fed a few seconds
