Hershey Urges Action.
Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey proposed last week
that UNIT be started Immediately
with youths now deferred, from
the draft, such as students ano
farm and industrial workers. This
he said, would enable the plan
to start without interfering with
the pool of men available for
draft service.
After six months of UNIT, he
contends, these men-retaining
draft deferments-could be routed
into reserve units for further
training. A prime argument OF
UNIT advocates is that it would
develop a reserve of trained men

18 months on active duty before

Judge Lauds Trooper
For Accurate Report

Maryland State Trooper 10
John Collision drew praise for
honesty and truthfulness yester-
day from Judge Stedman Prescott
in Circuit Court in Rockville.
The tribute came after a jury
had found Herbert F. Gardner,
"a, Of the 1900 block of Irving
street NV. guilty of driving un-
der the influence of alcohol.
The trooper had arrested Gard
ner last December q, while he
was driving a cab on Route 240
near MOntrose, Md.
Trooper Collision testified he
had smeIled alcohol on Gardner's
breath and in the cab and found
a bottle of corn whisky on the
floor of the cab. He said Gardner
also failed to give a turn signal
and drove in the wrong lane.
The trooper admitted. however,
Gardner did not stagger, drive his
car in a Zig-zag fashion or talk
incoherently.
Judge Prescott remarked to the
court:
Its good to hear honest and
truthful statements from our
police officers. I want to compli-
ment him. Too often our officers
tend to exaggerate in their testi-
mony."

Judge Upho|ds
at
Fairgrounds
Suit Contested
Legality Of Action
At Two Centers

District Judge David A. Pine
yesterday ruled there is nothing
illegal in reserving the Wheatley
and Trinidad Fairgrounds in the
Northeast section for white resi-
dents only.
His ruling came in an opinion
that granted a summary Judgment
in favor of the District Board of
Recreation and a number of
others named as defendants in a
suit contesting the validity Of
segregation in the public play
grounds. The suit was brought by
number of Negro families.
At the same time, Judge Pine
refused to rule on question raised
by the plaintiffs as to whether the
Interior Department or the Re-
creation Board should have juris-
diction over the Trinidad Play
ground. He did indicate that he
considered the Interiors claim
weak.
Partial Repeal Seen.
This was in connection with the
Interior Departments assertions.
in its current dispute with the
District Government over play
ground Jurisdiction, that certain
parts of an act of 1924 setting up
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission had been
repealed by implication in a 1942
act.
BY the 1924 act and a SUBJ
sequent act in 1880, the COM
mission was authorized to buy
land for parks and recreation
purposes and. at its discretion to
turn such lands over to the Dis
trict. The Interior asserted the
1912 act, which set up the District
Recreation Board to operate the
backgrounds, removed the right Of
the commission to turn over the
land to the District. If this were
held true, the Interior Department
could lay claim to the playground.
In his opinion, Judge Pine said
he considered it unnecessary to
rule on the Interior District gov
ernment issue, because that queS-
ton had not been placed before
him in this case by the Interior
Department.
The question was raised by the
plaintiffs in the case, but the
judge held they did not have "the
requisite legal interest to be en-
titled to a judicial determina-
ton. :"
Cites Court Opinions.
In bolStering his opinion that
the Fairgrounds legally may be
reserved for use by white residents
only, Judge Pine cited Supreme
Court and appellate court
opinions, upholding segregation in
instances where facilities are
equal.
At another point, Judge Pine
held that clearly the recrea-
tom board has jurisdiction
over all questions of policy in
respect to Fairgrounds under its
control :"
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman, who argued
the District governments case.
hailed the opinion as a victory
over the Interior Department.
