A Baltimore attorney was &C
quilted of exceeding 10 miles ar

vile Police Court today when the
judge ruled that the accuracy OF
a State troopers speedometer

Walter Taber Of Gainesville

Mr.. Taber told him he was in
a hurry to catch a plane, Corpl
Davis said.
Judge Theodore L. Manga
granted defense attorney Wood

that the accuracy of "mechan-
ical devices" must be established
by the State.
Later, Trooper Davis told re-
porters. Maryland State Police
speedometers are checked "every
few months" using a National

said the speedometer in his car

Magruder Asks Law
Toilet u. ). Funds Aid
Disabled in Virginia
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor Stcff Corresponden,

RICHMOND, Feb. l5.-Dele-
gate j. Maynard Magruder of
Arlington today introduced legis-
lation in the General Assembly
to make Virginia eligible to re-
ceive Federal funds for public
assistance to the aged in private
institutions.
Failure to comply earlier with
revisions in the Federal Social
Security Act already has lost
about $4,000 in benefits in this
State, Mr.. Magruder said.
Amendments to the Federal
law in 1850 gave the States until
July, 1858, to set up a competent
authority and establish stand
ards for private institutions
which take care of the aged,
blind or totally and permanently
disabled.
In his bill. Mr.. Magruder desig-
mates the Department of We'll
fare and Institutions as the au-
thority to issue regulations and
maintain minimum standards at
institutions caring for four or
more inmates. Private homes
caring for less than four persons
and other institutions already
licensed by the State Health or
Hospital Boards would not be re-
quired to obtain licenses.
In order to avoid loss of fur
Their Federal public assistance
benefits, Mr.. Magruder said it
is imperative that legislation be
enacted at this session. He re-
called that at the special session
late in 1852 he attempted TO in
troduce legislation of comply
with the Federal law the follow
ing year. However, he was un-
able to sponsor a bill at the
special session, which was limited
to the matter of redistricting the
State.
The bill offered today was rec
commended by the Council of
State Governments. Mr.. Magru-
der is the Virginia member of
