Cases Delayed
OF Magistrates
Montgomery Docket
Piles Up With Five
Vacancies untitled

Montgomery County personnel
at the Bethesda Trial Magis-
trate's Office today had to send
away about a dozen defendants
in search of a judge.
The term of Oscar J. See, for
mer Bethesda Trial Magistrate.
expired at midnight and. because
of a legislative tangle. no one
was appointed to replace him
and the four other county magis-
trates.
Mrs. Louise B. Harding. whose
term as magistrates clerk in
Bethesda also expired. said 800
cases had been docketed for to-
day. Most involved minor traf-
f1c offenses on which collateral
would be forfeited.
Although the County Council
and the Governor plan to provide
magistrates by the end of the
week. the three-week delay was
necessary because of the rotating
duty hours of county policemen. .
Judges Available June Is
Under a law passed by the
Maryland General Assembly at
its last session, the county will
have three Peoples Court judges
beginning June Is to replace the
former Trial Magistrates. No
provision was made to have the
temporary magistrates serve in
the interim. ....
Among the defendants hoping
for prompt justice today was
Mrs. Dolores j. Carlo, "a, q
housewife who was charged
Wednesday with going through
a stop sign. Mrs. Carlo might
have forfeited collateral but says
she is not guilty and hired q
baby sitter in order to come to
court. A Kensington resident.
she has 5-month-old son.
Most of the other persons in
volved in the cases set for today
were told about the mix-up by
their attorneys or read about 1t
in the papers.
McKeldin Offers to Act

dates recommended by the
Democratic County Council.
The council, however, decided to
wait for recommendations from
the County Bar Association,
which meets this afternoon in
Rockville.
The outgoing magistrates
could not be reappointed because
they failed to obtain confir-
nation in the Maryland Senate.
Meanwhile, former Trial Mag
istrate R Duncan Clark offered
to arbitrate civil cases originally
scheduled to be heard at 1870
pm today in Rockville. He said
he will appear in the court to-
day but that arbitration is pos
sible only if both parties to q
suit consent. Ia

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today he d e d the
pleas of a national advisory COM
mittee and recommended a $3.50,
600 step-up in money provided
for the maintenance and devel-
opment of the National Arbore-
tum in northeast Washington.
Members of the Senate Com
mittee were impressed with tesCi-
mony given recently by the Ma
tional Arboretum Advisory coun-
Gil that the time had come when
Congress should make a decision
about going ahead with tic de-
velopment of the research and
natural beauty spot which has
been hanging fire for &c years
or So
Frederic P. Lee. of Bethesda,
Md, advisory committee chair
man, had told the committee:
I'm my judgm ent. Congress
should either be prepared to de-
velop the National Arboretum to
serve in the fields of research
and education in ornamental and
economic horticulture, or else it
should abolish it,"
The extra money would be
used for a variety of purposes,
including planning. public trails
and some extra help.
In other actions the Appropri-
atoms Committee:
Approved an item of about
100000 for construction of
Key Bridge ramp to connect
with the George Washington
Memorial Parkway drive on the
Virginia side of the Potomac.

Senators Recommend
Aboretum Funds

Approved a fund of about
100000 for preparation of
plans for a new building here
for the Geological Survey.
Denied. however, a $4,000
increase for the staff budget of
the National Capital Planning
Commission, the Senate COM
mittee agreeing to go along with
the House figure of S143,0 900. The
commission has asked for an
additional S57 900 to permit the
hiring of 10 additional staff en-
ployes. They were needed in
part for work on District recon-
ing revision as well as general
planning activities.
The Senate committee also
eliminated requested 100000
for grading and draining for the
proposed extension of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
on. the Maryland side from the
DlStrlct line to Cabin John; as
well as denying about the same
sum requested for an extension
OF about one mile of Fort drive
from Macarthur boulevard to
Nebraska avenue. This involved
grading and other work and a
proposed overpass at Nebraska
avenue.
In connection with these two
projects, the committee wrote
into the bill a direction to the
Park Service not to enter into
any obligations for construction
OF these two works. Chairman
Hayden has said the committee
wanted to take another look at
the two projects during the next
year before making any final de-
cision.

The Federal Reserve System,
seeking to head off possible in
fiation, has screwed the lid down
tigher on the rapidly swelling
demand for credit.
Its successor lack Of success
in preventing imitation may
have much to do with whether
there is a tax cut next year.
The Reserve Board approved,
effective today. move by six adj
Iditional reserve banks to raise
their discount rate from 2 to 2H
per cent. That is the rate at
which they lend money to men,
Der commercial banks, which in
turn lend to businessmen and
others.
The action was taken by the
reserve banks of New York, Rich

Dallas and San Francisco. 1t
made the "a per cent rate eff

districts. Only the Boston and
Minneapolis reserve banks are
still lending at 2 per cent.
Other Factors Involved
Other factors, Of course, will
also help determine the chances
of a tax cut. among them the
political situation and the out
look for a balanced budget. But
the steadiness of the Nations
economy is a major considera-
ton.
The administration has set as
one of its major goals the pre-
vention of imitation.
A tax cut itself tends to be
inflationary. because it frees
more money for spending. In
a period of imitation and rising
prices the administration might
find it embarrassing if not i'm
possible to recommend tax
cut that would increase buying
power.
But If the threat of imitation
has been beaten back by early
next year the administration
would find 1t much easier to-
recommend o tax cut.

Kelly, Cleared as Red
Accepts Army Apology
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Army has publicly apollo
gized to DR.. Alfred H. Kelly Of
Wayne University for alleging
that he was "a contributor and
supporter Of American Youth for
Democracy" an organization
listed as a Communist front by
the Attorney General.
In a statement yesterday.
Army Secretary Brucker said he
had made a personal study of
the file and added:
MY review has convinced me
that a mistake has been made
in connection with this allega-
ton. The ahstracting of a source
record of information concerning
the American Youth for Dem
ocracy was improperly and care
lessly performed, thereby result
ing in an erroneous evaluation
Of the relationship of DR.. Kelly
to that organization.
II have ordered the immediate
withdrawal Of the offending allie
cation.
Professor Satisfied
In Detroit, the history pro-
fessor said he was thoroughly
satisfied with Mr.. Brucker's
apology and I am extremely
gratifled."
