The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
today asked President Eisen-
hover to blame Southern Demo-
Gratis for stalling the military
reserve bill in the House.
The Negro group, in a tele-
gram to the White House, re-
jected the Presidents assertion
that an anti-segregation amend
ment to the bill is "extraneous"
legislation and said:
90. The administrations re-
serves bill is being held up by
the Southern Democrats who de-
mand their way on racial segre-
cation regardless Of what is
deemed to- be the security of
the country.
Proponents of the anti-segre-
cation amendment do not de-
serve the onus contained in the
charge, unsupported by the ac-
tual parliamentary situation.
that they are indifferent to the
security of their country"
NJ Would Curb Assignments
The amendment would ban
assignment or enlistment of men
in any National Guard or reserve
unit practicing racial segrega-
tion.
The House last month refused
to throw out the amendment,
but then dropped the whole bill
for possible later consideration.
On June 8 President Eisen-
hover urged that the amend
ment be removed, saying it was
entirely erroneous" to get leg
islation of that sort by "tacking
it on to something that is so
vital" to the Nations security.

Maryland Stote Police
Feud With FBI Aired

nounced the arrest Of a suspect,
took full credit for the work and
at the bottom Of the news story
State Police were credited with
making the arrest.
Still another cause of friction,
listed by Weber, was an appli-
cation by a State Police detective
lieutenant for entrance to the
National Police Academy, oper-
ated by the FBI. Weber said the
application has been on file six
or seven years without any
action.
"I think they've been very
small" Weber added.
The most recent incident Of
misunderstanding" occurred last
April rs when the State Police
announced they had information
pointing to definite suspect in
the still unsolved $4,000 holdup
of a Fort Meade bank in March,
1861 case being handled by
the FBI.
Apology Requested
When the information ap-
peared in the press, Weber said,
the FBI requested an apology
from the State Police for re-
leasing the information.
"Since we made no such re-
lease the apology was refused"
Weber said. In his original
statement, Weber said the in
formation on the bank robbery
investigation was developed by
the press. He said today the
State Police had gathered the
information and when a news
paper reporter learned of it, the
State Police could do nothing
but give him the story.
On denial of FBI laboratory
facilities, Weber said, zone of
the basic responsibilities Of the
FBI Is the full use of their lab
oratory by the police services
of the country. If the Maryland
State Police and possibly other
police departments are to be de-
MED the use of these facilities
it will seriously handicap Scien-
tific police investigation"
Brown said the FBI has always
co-operated with other police
agencies but in view of the pres
ent dispute, "the FBI had no
choice but to conclude that the
State Police did not desire any
cooperation from the FBI,"
Brown said.

BALTIMORE, June 1S R.-
The acting superintendent Of
State Police today accused the
FBI of "being very small' in its
attitude toward the Maryland
force and said he would ask
Maryland's two United States
Senators to investigate FBI re-
fusal to examine evidence in two
criminal cases.
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION had no new comment on
the matter.
D. K. Brown, agent in charge
of the FBI in Baltimore. said
yesterday the State police had
shown a lack TO cooperation"
and although an effort was made
"to work out an understanding
:. there was no affirmative evi-
dence of a desire on the part of
the Maryland State Police to
correct the situation"
FBI headquarters in Wash
ington said Browns statement
speaks for itself" and that it
had nothing to add.
Neither Senators Butler nor
Beall could be reached immedi-
ately for comment.
Mai. William H. Weber, field
commander of the State police

long-standing feud into the open
in a lengthy statement made
public last night.
He said two FBI agents at the
agency's Washington laboratory
had declined to examine evidence
brought them by a Maryland
State trooper because Of a mis-
understanding between the two
departments.

Maj. Weber said today there
had been numerous incidents
dating back as far as 10 years
In which the State police and
FBI had failed to see eye to eye.
One, he said, concerned a
fugitive the State police went to

of a series of bank robberies in
which the two departments had
