1akoma Park Mayor
And Council Hit for
Police Suspensions
star stan Photos.

Takoma Parks Mayor and
City Council were criticized last
night for the recent suspension
Of four special policemen and
the subsequent dissolution and
reorganization of the towns
auxiliary police force.
The criticism came from two
sources Milton Kramer, an at
torney and former member Of
the council, and from the Joint
Committee Of the Prince
Georges -Takoma Citizens As
sociation.
It stemmed from the suspen-
sion Of Maurice e. Taylor. Theo-
dore J. Gooch. Robert e. Mohr
and Clarence z. Werback al
iegedly because they attended a
meeting OF the association which
favored q proposal to separate
the Prince Georges section OF
Takoma Park from the rest Of
the city.
Mr.. Kramer charged that
Chief c. z. Thomas had no au-
thorfty to suspend the men and
that no reply had been received
to letters by the men inquirine
about the charges. He said the
men should have been given q
public hearing. Mr.. Kramer
asked Mayor George M, Miller 70
make an apology and that Chief
Thomas be reprirnanded.
In a statement given the
council the Joint committee said
failure to name any Of the four
suspended men to q revised spe-
cial police force was patiently
one Of reprisel and is aimed at
removing once and for all these
four men from further service
TO the city
Despite the criticisms the
council Indicated the matter Is
closed. Mayor Miller said the
men did not receive any in-
decent treatment and that the
matter had been settled. =

The States attorney late yes

In her defense in court.
The doctors report, forwarded
to the county by DR.. Isadore
Tuerk, director Of the Spring
Grove State Hospital at Cations
vile, Md, stated that Marion

that she is mot psychotic" now.

Civic Unit Hits
Closed Meeting
On LiquorLaW
State Delegation
From Montgomery
Is forget Of Critics

The Montgomery County dele.
CATION to the Maryland General
Assembly last night was criticized
by the Allied Civic Group Of Sil-
yer Spring for a recent closed.
door meeting the legislators held
to discuss Montgomery's liquor
laws.
Particular criticism was heaped
upon Blair Lee III. delegation
chairman.
In q close vote, rs to %, the
group adopted a resolution "de-
ploring" the way In which the
delegation disposed OF "a contro-
versial matter of countrywide in
terest without submitting specific
proposals to public hearing in
advance Of reaching a final de-
cision." The resolution was SUBJ
mitted by Edward o. Rodgers,
Legislative Committee chairman.
Liquor Question Cited.
Though this would apply to
all such matters" Mr.. Rodgers
said, I'VE are particularly con-
cerned now with the closed door
meeting they held on the liquor
question"
Some county residents have
advocated that liquor by the
drink be put on sale in hotels,
restaurants and similar estab-
lishments.
Mr.. Lee and his colleagues,
one spokesman said, lied the
group to believe, at its meeting
on December 6. that public hear
ings would be held II his group
considered legislative proposals
on changing the liquor laws.
The delegates met about two
weeks ago. however, with the
State Central Committee and
the County Council at a closed
door meeting and decided. they
would neither propose nor sup-
port any attempt to change the
liquor laws.
Though many Of us are happy
that the law will not be
changed one officer in the
group said last night, 'Mr. Lee
and the others could have taken
the opposite viewpoint and we
couldn't have stopped them"
Action Criticized.
Some members of the group
criticized the legislators action.
since they felt some changes In
the law could bring the county
more revenue. Others expressed
accord with the lawmakers ac-
tiofl. since ''only preliminary
steps toward law changes could
have been taken"
Copies Of the resolution will
be sent to State Senator Edward
s. Northrop and the three groups
that met at the closed session.
The civic group, presided over
by Clarke L. Fauver. president,
also passed a resolution reaffirm-
ing its support Of a program for
constructing swimming pools In
the county.
The group also passed a reso-
luton calling for construction Of
toll highways In Maryland only
where such roads are beyond
