jenkins Is Hard on 'en1 All
as Tennessee Cider

last Thursday. he has been the
subject of furious speculation.
Was he or was he not pro-
Mccarthy? That was the ques-
ton. Some observers, noting his
considerable admiration for the
Senator's somewhat controversial
Fort Monmouth spy hunt, while
at the same time trying to keep
Senator Mccarthy in line on
points of order, decided he might
hold roughly the same view as a
number of other Americans on
the subject. of Mccarthy.
That is to say. Counselor
Jenkins looked to them like
man who approves of what Sem
ator Mccarthy is trying to do,
but does not always approve of
his methods.
BY now, Mr.. Jenkins, who
came up from Tennessee for the
hearings, knows a good deal
more about these methods.
Baptism by Fire.
He got his baptism by fire yes
terday afternoon, when Senator
Mccarthy, who up until then
had been very matey, turned on
him for ''badgering" Pvt. Schine.
The Senator accused Mr.. jenkins
further of Dragging about being
the best criminal lawyer in the
country" Mr.. jenkins retorted
hardly that the only thing he
Dragged about was his intention
to be fair. to get at the truth.
AS far as anyone watching the
hearings, which Mr.. jenkins has
several times Inadvertently, called

be a terror in the courtroom He

WOrdy Questions.
A somewhat rhetorical man,
he fashions a question like
club sandwich before he hands
it to a witness. He never uses
one word where three will do.
He will, for instance, ask Mr..
Stevens if he was attempting ito
mollify, appease or pacify Sen
ator Mccarthy"
His sentences bristle with Ito

Laws in Conflict
May Delay Maryland
Assessment 7 Years
BY the Associated Press

The ninth annual school for
Maryland assessing officers was
told yesterday that conflicting
laws would make normal reas-
SeSsment procedures. for the
present, a waste of time.
The school is being held at the
University of Maryland.
The information was given by
Albert M. Ward. executive secre-
tary of the Maryland State Tax
Commission. who said he was
quoting an opinion of Attorney
General Edward D. E. Rollins.
1t probably means a two-year
vacation from reassessment no.
tices for Marylanders.
Recent Law Pointed Out.
Mr.. Ward pointed out this
years General Assembly put on
the books a law which makes an
nual assessments mandatory be-
ginning July /, 1856.
In the meantime. he noted,
county assessors are working
under a law which calls for gen.
eral reassessments every three
years.
The current three-year cycle
began January 1, 1854, and ends
January /, 1857. The new law
takes over six months before the
present three-year cycle is COM
pleted and hence renders reas-
SessmentS taken under the old
law void.
May Be Held Up.
Mr.. Ward said the Attorney
General felt that it may well be
no reassessments will be sent out
under the three-year cycle law.
However. Charles McMathias,
jr., assistant to Mr.. Rollins,
noted the possibility that the
State tax commissioners might
order annual assessments i'm
mediately. Mr.. McMathias said
the commission apparently has
the power to take such action
under present conditions.

Lake Contamination
AT Bancroft CHARGED
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. June 30
A problem was tossed in the lap
of the State Water Control
Board yesterday.
Residents of the Lake Bar
croft area Of Fairfax County
complained the lake was being
contaminated by sedimentation
and rubbish.
Mrs. Ellen Oshins Of Falls
Church told the board that
eventually the lake will not be
fit for use as a recreational area.
She said, too, the lake is an
emergency fresh water source.
But the question brought up
the point of whether the water
control boar6 has jurisdiction
over something caused by natu-
raj causes, or more simply. by
rain.
Chairman E Blackburn Moore
said this marked the first time
such a question had come before
the board and he didn't know
pending consultation with legal
advisers, whether the board
could do anything or not.
Board Member T. Brady Saun.
ders suggested it was a County
problem and that the County

ed former City Manager Edward
T. Beall turned down yesterday
the city's clam for payment of
shortages alleged to have oc-
Cured at Portsmouth General
Hospital.
Mr.. Beall, former County
Manager Of Montgomery County.
Md, is under indictment for
embezzlement in connection with
one of six findings for recovery
in which he was named April
IL in an Ohic State Examiners
report.
Mr. Beall has denied knowl-
edge of a shortage and said he
welcomes an opportunity to
prove my Innocence" at trial
scheduled here July 10.
The Hartford Accident & In
demnity Co.. which issued a
bond to cover Mr.. Beall when
he was City Manager here, gave
no reason for it's refusal to honor
the city's claim for reimburse
ment in hospital shortages to-
taling $2,458.56.
It simply said: ''It is our opin-
ion that the city of Portsmouth
has not established a claim un-
der this bond"
City Auditor James D. Will
liams said he will refer the bond
ing company's letter Of refusal to
the City Council, which he ex-
poets will order a suit filed in an
attempt to collect the money.
The six findings for recovery
included four separate instances
in which State examiners said
hospital collections were mot ac-
counted for" These were for
$50, $738.81, $755.33 and $654.79.
