Attorney Prisock, who will de-

white men charged with the murder
Of an entire Negro family in the
famous Attala County Massacre

Mississippi last year.
In this case where all of the de-

none were given the death penalty
land one was given the penalty of
only ten years.
1t was not learned here whether
attorney Prisock was being paid
altogether by Stringfellow and
relatives or that his fee had been
guaranteed by other sources. Ac-
Icording to reports the NAACP had
declined to take an active part in
,, the Defense mainly because of the
fact that the organization was al

Who Is Local
Mystery Man?

Park w. T, 10y, chairman of the
cancer fund drive, has given more
details about the workings of the
Mystery Man contest which began
here April 7.
The contest offers local residents
a chance to get a $50 bond, and is
aimed at arousing interest in the
cancer drive.
10y said that the bond has been
donated by Victor F. Slime, past
chairman of the local chapter of
the American Cancer Society.
A well known resident of this
county is the Mystery Man, 10y said.
Those who can identify him will be
eligible for the $50 grand prize.
Anyone can try to identify the
Mystery Man. Hints on his identity
are being published in the daily
newspapers and announced over the
u ado
Anyone who has read the clues or
has seen Mr.. Mystery and suspects
his identity can get contest blank
at McCrory's at the cancer drive
headquarters, 101 North Potomac
Street, or at the booth in the Square.
There is no charge for the entry
blank and to make donation is not
required.
The next step toward the $50 bond
is to contact the person that the en-
trant thinks is the Mystery Man.
The entrant should ask him this
question: 'Have you contributed to
the cancer fund.-"
The entrant must then remember
the first nine words of his answer.
These nine words should be placed
on the contest entry blank, along
with the Mystery Mans name, the
entrants name and address, the time
and date that the entrant contacted
Mr.. Mystery.
The entry blank then should go to
the cancer drive information booth
at McCrory's. Again there will be
no donation necessary.
There will be a winner each day
of the contest-from April to April
21-and each winner will have a
chance at the $50 bond The first
person to approach the Mystery
Man after 1870 p. m. on Saturday,
April 7, or after noon on each day
after that, will qualify as a fnalist.

Bingo Permits To
Be Required Here
Measure Amended By General
Assembly At Request Of Gov
ernor's Office.

Individuals and groups who con-
duct bingo games in Washington
County are going to be required to
get permit from the office of the
County Commissioners.
This provision was added to the
county bingo bill at the suggestion
of the Governors Office, it was learn
ed this week. The bill, as amended
before the General Assembly adj
journed, is expected to be signed into
law soon by Governor McKeIdin.
The permit will be required for
each individual or group holding
bingo parties, but will not be re-
quired each time such parties are
staged. And, according to Senator
D. Kenneth Mclaughlin, the permit
will cost nothing.
The bill legalizing bingo, original
ly introduced in the House of Dele
gates by the local delegation, sets
the maximum price for any one game
at ten cents and provides further
that no prize shall be in cash nor
shall prize in merchandise be of
greater value than ten dollars.

New Voting Plan
Killed In House

A bill died" in the hands of the
county delegation at Annapolis which
would have provided for nomination
of county commissioners by districts
instead of at large.
Delegate o. T. Kaylor Jr., one of
the two sponsors of the measure,
said the measure was deadlocked by
a three-to- three vote. The three Re
publican delegates favored the plan.
The three Democrats opposed it.
Under the bill, all future county
commissioners would be nominated
as follows: two for each party from
Hagerstown and three for each party
from three sections of the county.
Selections in the general election
would be at large, as at present.

Development Of County Home Site As
New Residential Section Is Proposed
Purchase Of Less valuable Site
For New County Home Is Pre-
posed.

POSGAs
A plan that could mean a big new
residential area for Hagerstown is in
the talking stage"
A group of local people, it was
learned last week, is considering ask
ing the County Commissioners to
divide the County Home farm into
home building lots and selling these
lots to the public.
It is figured that a considerable
amount of money could be made on
such a move, more than enough to
pay for a new site and a building to
replace the present old County Home
buildings.
''The county has too-valuable a
site there for continued use for the
County Home" one local man said.
1.-THE county farm used to be located
far out of the residential part of Hag-
erstown. Now it is right in the mid
die, standing between Fountain Head
Heights and the main part of the
city"
The county property has about
1500-foot front on Middleburg Pike
and 2000-foot front on Northern
Avenue. On the corner of Middle
burg Pike and Northern Avenue IS
Fountaindale School From Middle
burg Pike to the Western Maryland
Railway tracks the property has an
average depth of $3.50 feet. The
city limits roughly divide the county
property in two. City water is avail
able to the part outside the city
limits. A main runs along MidG4e-
burg Pike to Fairchild's.
The plan to divide the county
farm into building lots is being con-
sidered at this time because the
County Commissioners hope to get
the state to take over the property
and use it as site for building new
chronic disease hospital, replacing
the old County Home structures.
Those favoring the plan for a new
residential development point out
that good, but less expensive site
could be found in some other part
of the county.
Here is one disadvantage to the
proposal: there might be some ques-
ton as to who would build the streets
if the lots were sold individually,
because there would be no private
builder to do at least the rough
grading.
The County Commissioners have
not been formally approached on the
entire question, SO their attitude is
not known at this time.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-04-12

In december 1919 mayor MlllS
appointed a City Planning and
ZOning Commission. This COM
mission was-after 1877 years-tO
put long range planning and
thinking into our city govern
ment. The commission was Civ
en- two immediate detectives:
l. Establish a city-wide coming
program; and 2. Tackle the city
traffic problem in general and the
West End underpass problem in
particular.
Our city has not yet been com
pletely zOned because of the
awaited court decision on the pro-
posed North End shopping center.
But for all practical purposes, the
commission has done its initial
job of coming.
Now what about traffic and the
West End underpass problem?
Some weeks ago Mayor Mills,
with an eye on big government
projects developing in this see
ton, happily told the five cOun-
cilmen: big things are ahead for
HagerstOwn." We agree, MIR.
Mayor, big things ARE ahead for
HagerstOWn. And now is the
time to think big things-and to
act with an eye to the future.
HagerstOwn just cannot afford
to remain forever a city divided
into two parts by the railroads.
The stock answer to the under
pass problem seems TO be: eve
don't have the money. The pro-
ject will cost a couple million
dollars"
Despite that stock answer, we
have to realize that this under
pass problem is not going to dis
appear some dark night. 1t is
going to keep getting more press
ing. And we are not going to
suddenly wake up to find a couple
million dollars credited to the
city'S bank account to pay for an
underpass.
The businessman losing val
liable time for himself and his
employees stalled at blocked rail-
road crossings, the fireman who
can't get to fire, the family made
late for church, the worker made
late to punch a time clock, the
land owner who can't get de-
velOperS interested in building in
the West End-aIl these people
demand action.
We feel this problem should be
approached by the Planning Com
mission at once.
A project of such magnitude is
going to take a lot of investiga-
ton, study, debate, planning.
and then money. But at this
stage we do not feel it is fair to
the people of HagerstOwn for
anyone to shrug the whole thing
off with owe don't have the
money"
In the first place, no group of
