County Youth Building
TRUCK GAINS WEIGHT

A motor transport truck was
stopped and weighed last Sun
day at the scales at the Route
4O-42 intersection and was found
to be overweight about 600
pounds. When the driver of the
truck stated that the truck had
been carefully weighed before
he started his trip, the truck
was again weighed on the same
scales and the scale reading
showed the truck to be over
weight by over 700 pounds.
The truck was then taken to
another scale across the road
and this time the reading show
ed that the truck was about 900
pounds overweight. Inasmuch as
the company owning the truck
refused payment of fine due to
the discrepancy, the driver was
unable to move on until Tues
day afternoon after Mayor E..
P. Speasmaker had reduced the
fine to the minimum for such
offense.

County Survey
To0ffer Development
Chart, Hoyt Explains

The facts of nearby Maryland
life ranging from average fam
lily income to methods of increas-
ing revenue without increasing
taxes, will be ferreted out in a
nine-month economic base sur
vey of Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties.
The bi-county study. already
under way by the firm of Homer
Hoyt Associates. was explained
to about 80 government. bust
ness and civic leaders of the area
by Mr. Hoyt last night.
Many channels of business and
governmental life will be ex-
plored IN the study. Mr.. Hoyt
explained. But the ultimate
purpose will be to discover the
economic factors now at work
50 that recommendations can be
made to shape the future devel-
opment of the area
Among the fields of inquiry,
Mr.. Hoyt said, will be population
trends, existing land values and
land uses. adequacy of roads and
public transportation systems,
cost of government services as
related to revenue receipts from
specific areas and the limits to
which urban development can be
expected to extend in both coun-
ties.
He said suggestions will be
made on the best possible use
that could be made of tracts of
land to increase county revenues
without a corresponding increase
in county expenses.
However, we will not pin
point areas for commercial de-
elopment but will leave that to
the planners" he said.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Montgomery County Com
merce Association at the Indian
Spring Country Club in Silver
Spring.

More Furor on Farm Prices
Heard Here Than in Midwest

farm groups is pretty much in
line with the expressed views of
Mr.. Benson on how the farmers
should achieve security with less
government help.
The question is: Do these farm
organizations in the statements
of their leaders actually reflect
the majority thinking of the
membership?
There is no precise yardstick
for answering this question.
But there is an interesting side
light in this connection:
Last November the Kansas
Farm Bureau adopted a reso-
luton saying in part: I'm the
legislation of 1948 and 1949.
there is ample authority for
high Government support prices
as an incentive to produce added
amounts of food and fiber to
meet any emergency which may
occur.
However, as permanent pol
icy, we oppose Government sup
port prices at level represent
ing a guaranteed profit, and
which have the effect of making
the Federal Government a mid
dleman in the marketing of all
farm products. We oppose gov
eminent guarantees at a level
which would result in complete
Government control over. the
planting of crops, marketing of
products, the price at which
farm products would sell. and
which would result in the farmer
receiving payment for his prod
ucts from the Federal treasury
instead of in the market place.
ITO that end. we believe the
Government support price pro-
gram should be sufficiently flex-
ible to prevent interference with
the efficient consumption Of
farm produce. :"
County Meetings Reported.
Earlier, the bureau had sent
out requests to some 10 county
farm bureaus asking the men,
bers to meet and draft resolu-
lions on farm policy by majority
vote. Each of the county meet
ings drafted resolutions and for
warded them to the State Bu-
reau.
The State Bureau took the
majority views from the county
meetings and used them as the
basis for its resolutions. Then
the State resolutions were sub
mitted to the counties for rati-
fication.
Roderick Turnbull, editor of
the Kansas City weekly, Star
Farmer, said:
II think the method used in
drafting the resolution was as
fair a method as you could find
to get the true thinking of ma
jority of farmers on price sup
ports"
At any rate, the majority had
given approval to flexible price

ond week in March.
Representative Kearns, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, is

ferences his subcommittee has
held with city officials.
The second of these c.osed
conferences was held yesterday.
Afterwards, Mr.. Kearlls said
there are three or four different
ideas about the amounts that
should be put into the bill. But,
he said. the conferes are near
ing a meeting of the minds"
District Commissioner F. Jo-
seph Donohue, who headed the
city delegation, was asked by
Mr.. Kearns to check on the esti-
mated cost of each proposal and
make a report.
Mr.. Donohue said the prob
lem is to find the money for
any raises that me be agreed on.
The bill would cover the Met

Truth Serum Ruling
Avoided as D. {. Man
Is Cleared in Sex Case

Federal Judge Ben Moore yes
terday found a 28-year old
Washington man innocent of
sodomy and at the same time
made clear that he was not max
ing any decision as to the eff
cacy of truth serum" tests used
in the case.
Judge Moore is visiting judge
from West Virginia, who has
been presiding temporarily in
criminal cases in the United
States District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, under a pro-
gram of shifting judges from one
jurisdiction to another on a
short-term basis. His admission
of truth serum" testimony on
Tuesday set what was believed
to be a precedent in the District
court here.
Another Charge Undecided.
HOUSEKEEPING and sodomy
charges had been brought
against the defendant, Richard
D. Carlson of the 1900 block of
Columbia road NV, by a So
year-old woman employee of the
Agriculture Department. Judge
Moore reserved his decision on
the HOUSEKEEPING charge.
The jurist prefaced his &C
quittal of Mr.. Carlson by stat
ing: II don't want to be consid-
cred as making any decision or
holding as to the efficacy of the
sodium amytol tests"
However, he indicated he be-
lieved answers given to psychia-
trists who tested both the, wom-
an and the defendant might
have some bearing on credibility.
Voluntary Tests Noted.
In addition, he said, "the de-
PENDANT, as we'll as the proSecut-
ing witness, is entitled to have
considered the fact that there
was voluntary submission to the
tests"
Whether the tests produced
truths or not" he added, "the
fact that one submits to it does
have some bearing" But, he said,
II am not prepared to believe
all the statements of the wit
nesses, either on the stand or
under the influence of sodium
amytol. :"
The woman had charged that
Mr. Carlson forced his way into
her apartment and had fright
ened her into engaging in I'M
conventional sex acts.
Says She Invited Him.
Mr.. Carlson denied the
charges. He said the woman had
invited him to visit her at any
time, that he was allowed will
ingly the dwelling and that at no
time did he attempt any uncon-
Ventlonal sex practices.
Defense Attorneys James j.
Laughlip and Albert j. Ahern
brought out testimony that the
uyOrnon bod bod cav,,ol ox~ao,.;
ences with other men and de-
clared she had brought charges
against the defendant because
she was angry with him.
In his opinion acquitting Mr..
Carlson, Judge Moore cited dis
crepancies in statements made
by the complaining witness and
the lack of certain evidence.
