Industrial Promotion
Unit Urged in County

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. / Especially
The Prince Georges County
Chamber of Commerce is seeking
legislative sanction for a COM
mittee to attract new industry
to its county.
The chamber has sent a pro-
posal to the county delegation
here to introduce a resolution
directing the county commission
ers Ito appoint a committee Of
citizens to study and promote
the industrial potentialities" Of
Prince Georges.
The proposed resolution would
provide an appropriation Of from
$4,000 to $25,000 for the ex-
penses Of the 11-member COM
mittee. The members would
serve for two years without COM
pensation.
Appearing as a spokesman or

the resolution Immediately.
"The great growth of Prince

dential," Mr.. Powers said. "and
there is need for the orderly
development of industry to bring
the county into balance"

Chevy Chase Cool
To Executive Bus

The Capital Transit Co. has
not given up on its proposed
executive express" downtown
commuter plan, despite a dis
couraging lack of response in
the Chevy Chase area.
Only IS replies came in from
1000 mail inquiries to Chevy
Chase homes explaining the pro-
posed extra-fee service
These IS liked the idea, how
ever, said E. c. Giddings, Cap
ital Transit vice president. The
difficulty was that only 13
wanted to go downtown at any
one time, and only five of them
wanted to return at any one
time.
In addition. the IS were pretty
we'll scattered, he reported. This
fact made it hard to develop a
route which would appeal to
enough commuters to get the
plan started.
But, Mr.. Giddings said, 1--WE
have confidence the, idea is a
good one. and will attempt to
canvass other areas"
The plan was designed to ap-
peal to businessmen and others
who would give up driving their
cars to town in favor of a re-
served-seat bus service in which
smoking would be permitted.
The service would cost SIS a
month and include rides on
other Capital Transit lines for
10 cents.

I'd Chance Urged for CT Gone Wrong

.uel County promised to keep an
eye on Foskey if he Is placed
on probation and allowed to re-
turn home.
c. L. Gillis. ST.. chairman of
the Board of Stewards of the
Adrian Methodist Church, who
is rural letter carrier well ac-
quainted with the Foskeys. wrote
the court that young Foskey's
family on his fathers side were
Outstanding Methodists" and
on his mothers side were good,
old-line Primitive Baptists."
John r. Rountree. member of
the Adrian City Council and as
sistant principal of Adrian High
School. coached Foskey when he
played basketball on the school
team. He knew him as very
stable boy" who liked to have
fun but never got into serious
trouble-his character was above
reproach."
Won With Honors.
Foskey's vocational agriculture
teacher at high school was Otis
l.. Hayden. He knew Foskey
all his life and taught his par
ents. His letter to the Alexan-
dria court describes Foskey as
an industrious" boy Of good
character"
The letter tells how Foskey
won high honors in the Future
Farmers of America, earning a
trip to the organizations na-
tional convention in Kansas City
Mo. Foskey attained the rank
of Georgia Planter in the Future
Farmers - the highest degree
possible in the State.
Earl M. Warner. Emanuel
County farm agent, was i'm
pressed by Foskey's All Club
work: "He worked well with all
of us. I felt he was a good boy
and looked forward to his at
tending the Abraham Baldwin
Agricultural College. Instead,
he entered the Army"
And so the letters ,go-more
than court officials ever recall
seeing in behalf of some one
charged with such a serious
crime. A few of the letters sug-
gest that Foskey's entry into the
Army-followed by brief, un-
successful marriage-might have
been the beginning of his
troubles.

II Insurance Bills
In One Batch Brinq
Democratic Protest
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. bills
aimed at streamlining Mary
lands insurance laws are due
for a quick hearing this week
after a noisy introduction in
the House of Delegates.
The State Insurance Depart
ment drafted 81 bills which it
says will help bring Maryland's
laws up to date, increase the pro-
lection of the insured and halt
certain vicious practices" in the
insurance business.
Their unheralded arrival in
one batch last night brought a
protest from Democratic floor
leader Gordon Boone that the
House was being flooded"
He said he was not complain
ing about the nature of the bills
but the volume that hit the
House with little apparent warm
ing. The insurance commits
sioner, said Mr.. Boone, must
have been "derelict" in not TAX
ing up the matter with the Leg
islative Council or consulting the
attorney general about gen.
eral recodification of insurance
laws if he had 27 changes or
additions to make.
Mr.. Boone said that many bills
on one subject work "a grave
injustice" on the House Banking,
Insurance and Social Security
Committee, headed by Delegate
Cannon, Democrat, of Wicomico,
and suggested Mr.. Cannon sum-
mon" the commissioner to an
immediate hearing.
Mr.. Cannon said he would ask
Commissioner Charles S. jack
son to appear as soon as the bills
are back from the printer, prob
ably tomorrow.
House Speaker Luber. Demo-
crat, of Baltimore and Delegate
SchWeinhaut, Democrat, of
Montgomery co-sponsored the
bills on request.

termined."
"The suficiency of evidence" "
DR.. Fisher declared, was not
great enough to allow us to say
without question that is was
suicide" He added that neither
was there sufficient evidence
that it was homicide.
DR.. Fisher said he reached his
decision after reviewing the case
with DR.. Edward j. Edelen,
deputy medical examiner for
Charles County, who issued the
original, certificate.
The suicide ruling had been
strongly protested by Mr.. Con-
nor's family, who insisted that
he had no reason, to take his life.
They finally appealed to the
Governor and the investigation
was ordered reopened in, De-
cember.
Mr.. Connor's body was found
hanging by his belt in the motel
where he stayed while on a buSi-
ness trip. He had been married
only five weeks. His mother,
Mrs. Thomas E. Connor of Ia
koma Park, insisted that her son
was murdered.

concluded their new investiga-
ton with a finding that the
death was "due to suicide"

Montgomery Schools
Ponder Full Pay Scale
As Contracts Near

The Montgomery County
school board last night pondered
ways to place its teachers on full
pay scale preliminary to a re-
quest that County Council make
an early agreement on teachers
salaries for next year.
The discussion was prompted
by DR.. James L. Prince, assistant
superintendent, who said county
school officials frequently lose
new teachers to other systems
because they are unable to in
clude a definite salary schedule
with contracts sent by mail.
DR.. Prince said he would like
definite commitment on
teacher pay by April l, when
school authorities begin signing
new teachers and renewing old
contracts.
S325 Pay Raise Limit.
The new pay scale adopted last
year limited individual pay
raises to 1925 per year.
Salaries range from $4,000 to
$5,050 for teachers without de-
grees.
Teachers with bachelors de-
grees would draw from $3,400 to
$5,450, and teachers holding
masters degrees would draw
from $500 to $3.50.
Board members expressed a
desire to have the full pay scale
included in next years budget.
Brian M. Benson, director of
finance, estimated it would cost
100000 to put all teacher on
scale.
The only objection to the scale
raised at last nights meeting
came from Board Member Har-
rison King, who considered the
$400 differential between teach
ers with and without degrees un-
fair.
Refresher Plan Approved.
The board approved a plan
presented by DR.. Prince offering
refresher courses for prospective
elementary teachers.
The board changed its substi-
tuted teacher pay schedule to
a daily rate of $40 for the first
10 days and SIS for each day
thereafter. School officials for
merly engaged substitute teach
ers under individual arrange
ments.
The board also decided not
to include in its minutes their
opinions and comments unless
specifically requested.

Proposals on Slots,
Sunday Liquor Sales
Sent 10 Legislators
BY J. l. MichoeI
Stor Stoff Correspondent

LA PLATA, Md, Feb. l.
Grand jury recommendations for
legislation to increase slot ma
chine license fees and to legalize
Sunday liquor sales are on their
way today to Charles County's
delegation to the General As
sembly.
Law revisions suggested would
approximately double the coun-
tvs slot machine income, now
about Is per cent of the gov
ernmental budget.
Special permits to allow the
sale of hard liquor after 2 pm.
on Sunday would cost "at least
$500"
Under present statutes, slot
machine distributors pay annual
fees of $4,000 each to the county,
without regard to the number of
machines they distribute and
service.
Would Change Method.
The jury recommended that
the fees be changed 80 that a
distributor pay a fee of $1,000
for the privilege of distributing
machines and an additional fee
OF $50 for each machine he dis
tributes"
For operators who own their
own machines the jury suggested
a $50 fee for each machine "over
and above" the present $3.50
county license cost. Federal per-
mits cost $3.50, bringing total ex-
pense to $400 for each machine
except those issues on a sea-
sonal basis. The jury urges aboli-
ton of seasonal licenses.
Other Increases Proposed.
Operators whose machines are
furnished by distributors would
pay $50 more than at present on
each machine up to three. On
more than three, licenses would
cost an additional $100 for each
machine.
The report said all of the five
distributors licenses appear to be
in order and that of 291 oper-
ator's permits representing 1,487
amusement services" only IA
have been incorrectly issued.
Seven Of these were voided be-
cause of business discontinuances
and the others were not prop
erly issued because the applica-
tlons were not properly filled
out" Immediate correction of
the latter seven was recon-
mended.
The 291 licenses, the jurors
said, returned revenues totaling
$213,307 in the nine-month Pc
riod beginning last May /.
The jurors reported that they
checked the status of the case
of Louis A. Hicks, paralyzed war
veteran found dead in his car
last March, and feel that the
proper investigative officials are
pursuing the matter vigorously
and assure us they will continue
doing so."
