County Agrees
To Swap Roads
With State
70 Miles Involved
In Prince Georges
Jurisdiction Shift

Exchange Of Jurisdiction over
70 miles OF Prince Georges high
ways today has the approval OF
the county commissioners and
tentative Endorsement of the
State Roads Commission.
The long-considered plan, Civ
ing the county A miles of Mary
land roads and the State 26 miles
of county tl1oroughfares, Is ex-
pected to set a pattern for use
throughout the State.
Municipal League officials and
Roads Commission executives
will meet on September Is in
Forest Heights Town Hall to
discuss similar shifts between
the State and incorporated COM
munities.
: County Savings Cited.
Arthur w. Tayman. head of
the Prince Georges Public Works
Department. said the transfers
would save the county SOL 900
scheduled for a new bridge over
Piscataway Creek and $40, 300 for
bituminous surfacing Of 4.3 miles
of woodward road, also in the
southern section.
These amounts, as well as
Federal matching funds for the
Piscataway crossing, can be re-
allocated. said MFR. Tayman, to
unspecifled worthy projects"
Commissioner approval was
given with these provisos: That
the State Immediately replace
the present unsafe Piscataway
bridge. that all exchanges be on
''eas is" basis. without monetary
consideration, and that transfers
lin no way jeopardize the coun-
tvs full participation in the
States 12-year program"
More Vehicle Funds.
Citing other advantages, Mr..
Tayman reported that the fn-
creased mileage in the county
road system would add $4,000
to the county's share Of State
motor vehicle funds in the cur
rent fiscal year. He added that
anticipated revenues for each
mile Of county roads, now about
$500 a mile, will more than dou-
BILE in the next IL years.
Other considerations influence
ing the commissioners decision
were listed as superior construc-
ton and adequacy of State roads
and the fact that some are
logical extensions, which would
give greater continuity to the
county road system. Further
more, State roads to be taken
over by the county will require
no major reconstruction other
than ultimate resurfacing.
Con the other hand, said Mr..
Tayman, county highways to be
transferred to the State are of
the type that deserve to be re-
built to standards comparable to
those of the State"

Democrats Call
70 !
Nominate Byrd
Monday Meeting Set
After Court Rejects
New Mohoney PIeo
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 90
Delegates to the Democratic
State Convention are being noti-
fed today to come to Baltimore
again Monday to nominate H. c.
Byrd. former University of Mary
land president. as their candi-
date for Governor in November.
The way was virtually cleared
for the nomination 81 days after
the primary election by the
Court of Appeals in Annapolis
yesterday. It killed the last
chance Of George p. Mahoney
to upset the returns in Talbot
and Queen Annes Counties and
win the nomination despite the
official results.
But Mr.. Mahoney still kept
open one more avenue Of en-
deavor. He wouldn't say def
nitely that he won't still try to
find something wrong in Balti-
more's Fourth District votes.
Notices Mailed.
Nevertheless, Michael c. Birm-
ingham, the State convention
chairman, promptly mailed no.
tees to the 152 delegates to
meet Monday to nominate DR..
Byrd and the other candidates.
The delegates had convened
July 26 for that. purpose. But
Mr.. Mahoney was before the
Court of Appeals the same day.
the first of four appearances
there. and the convention had
to recess.
Mr.. Mahoney settled finally on
efforts in Talbot and Queen
Annes Counties to reverse the
80-72 unit vote decision he lost
to DR.. Byrd. He had to change
only 81 votes in Talbot and 81
in Queen Annes to grab their
combined seven unit votes and
win.
Fails Second Time.
He failed in recounts. Then
he sought literal Interpretation
of the law that any mark what
soever on a ballot other than
the TX" made it illegal. He
asked for wholesale rejection Of
such alleged ballots in the two
Eastern Shore counties.
The Circuit Court overruled
him and so did the Court Of APP
pealsi yesterday. i
"This brings to an end the
case in Queen Annes, as well as
in Talbot" said Mr.. Mahoney
sadly.
He said he would consult his
lawyers before deciding If it
were the end Of the unprece-
dented post-primary fight he
waged to avoid his third close
political defeat. He lost the 1850
Democratic nomination for Cow
ernor to w. Preston Lane. jr..
and the 1852 election to the
United States Senate to Glenn
Beall. Republican.
Still Could Move.
Mr.. Mahoney's next move
could be to join Philip Dorsey.
jr., who ran on his ticket for
attorney general and lost to c.
Ferdinand Sybert, in contesting
returns from Baltimore's Fourth
District. The district is bossed
by Jack Pollock, who supported
DR.. Byrd and was the only one in
the city won by him by 489
votes.
Mr.. Dorsey has been scrutiniS-
ing signatures of those who voted
in contemplation of suit. The
district represents seven unit
votes, enough to swing the elec-
ton to both Mr.. Mahoney and
Mr.. Dorsey.
Besides the recounts in Queen
Annes and Talbot, Mr.. Mahoney
had the ballots rechecked in Cali
vert County without success

NAACP Hits
Almond on
School Stand
Official Returns Fire
In Dispute Over
High Court Ruling
BY the Associosed Pres.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. &c.
Another round has fiared up in
what may become a running
word battle over school segrega-
ton between Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., and the
Virginia conference Of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
The NAACP fired first in a
letter yesterday to Mr.. Almond
accusing the Attorney General
of expressing contempt of the
highest court of the land" by his
recent statements on the courts
ruling that banned segregation
In the Nations public schools.
Mr.. Almond shot back last
night in a speech at Ashland,
declaring. TITS hard to conceal
my contempt. but I don't ex-
press it."
In addition, Mr.. Almond
termed the NAACP the ma
tional Association for the Agita-
ton of Colored People" and said
it is "alien to the South, alien
to the concepts. principles and
moreS Of the South :. and
cares nothing for the welfare of
the Negro race"
Reply to Speech.
What caused the NAACP let
ter. released by w. Lester Banks,
executive secretary of the group
in Virginia. and David E. Long
ley. Executive Board chairman of
the Richmond branch, was a
speech by Mr.. Almond last week
at Irvington.
In that speech. Mr.. Almond
was quoted as saying the Su-
preme Courts decision was "a
clear and unequivocal violation"
of the 10th Amendment to the
Constitution. The Attorney Gen.
eral also was quoted as saying
"the NAACP is not going to
write the ticket in Virginia.
you have chosen to malign
the dignity and integrity of that
court irf order to create a smoke
screen to hide the very obvious
fact that what you dumped in
the laps Of the court helped
UNNECESSARILY toward the losing
of the school cases." the NAACP
letter said yesterday.
$15O,OO0 for Cause.
Mr.. Banks said yesterday the
NAACP had adopted an ID
month budget of $150.000. part
of the most extensive and in.
tensive civil and human rights
prograns ever to be undertaken
in Virginia" -
OF Mr.. Almdnd, the NAACP
said I'VE are shocked to realize
the close parallel between your
statements and those of the late
Adolf Hitler"
Mr.. Almond said last night
the May II decision of the Su-
preme Court was based on the
sociological predictions of the
Supreme Court and not on
constitutional discussion"
The attorney general said he
planned to attend the courts
hearings in October when the
anti-segregation ruling will be
spelled out, "but shan't go
back recognizing the Supreme
Court as a local school board. u
He went on:
II shall argue the court has
no right to lay down prescrip-
tions to promulgate a plan that
is prerogative of the General
Assembly of Virginia.
Mr.. Almond said he has no
"plans," but "some ideas" for
the hearings. He said he did
not plan to 'trespass" on the
prerogatives of the Governor
and the General Assembly in
laying out a plan for Virginia
to follow.
But the attorney general did
reiterate what he called two
"basic postulates" the State will
follow-no Negro teacher will be
used to teach white pupils and
no white students will be forced
to attend school with Negro
pupils.
