breaking conviction Of Arthur
Mills, 81. which had involved a
$23, 700 safecracking at Georges
Radio & Television Co., Inc, $50
F street NV.
A three-judge panel composed
of Chief Judge Henry w. Edger-
ton and Judges Charles Fahy
and George T. Washington held
that the trial court erred in
instructions to the jury.
Mills had testified that he was
hired by George Wasserman,
president of the corporation, to
loot the safe.
THE court instructed the jury
to the effect that Wasserman's
consent could not excuse the
defendant if the property be-
longed to a corporation and not
to Wasserman, the appellate
court pointed out.

opinion said. "An intent to

Learning to Read

Judging from the varied reactions
to The Stars series by DR.. Rudolf Flesch
on "Why Johnny Can't Read" no drastic
changes in the methods of teaching read
ing are in sight. II the admittedly con-
troversial series has served to arouse
public interest in reading as study and
as a pastime, however, it has been worth
while.
Letters to The Star indicated, in
general, difference of opinion between
parents and educators over the respective
merits of the word-recognition system
and the phonics system, and any combi-
nation OF the two. Most parents seemed
to prefer the "old-fashioned" phonics
method of sounding letters, syllableS and
words-the method strongly defended by
DR.. Flesch and subordinated by some
modern teachers. Vigorous opinions on
both sides were expressed in the many
interesting letters prompted by the
articles. The Star regrets that it cannot
devote more space to these letters.
Those who have found the Flesch
series interesting probably will be equally

to $500. Our State lawmakers
put on a good show and came
up with a withholding plan
that takes the cake.
In addition to paying his tax
for 1854. either quarterly or in
full, the Maryland taxpayer
will have the additional bur-
den of the new withholding
plan taking effect July l next.
Then on April Is. 1855, he will
have the fun Of paying income
taxes owed on the first six
months of 1855. In effect. he
will be paying % months of
taxes in a 10-month period
from July, 1855, to April. 1856.
I believe it was Mr.. Nickel
din who intimated he would
do his best to reduce taxes. On
the contrary, we have just the
opposite. Our State legislators
have certainly done u fine Job
of making life more difficult.
Taxes are too high now! If
the present tendency of the
Federal Government is to
dover taxes. then why shouldn't
the State government follow
suit?

to establishment by American
University of the first school
of business administration in
the Nations Capital.
This action is not only an
important forward step in
Washington's educational de-
velopment, making available
for the first time a profess
sional school devoted to edu-
cation for management careers,
but has very significant i'm
plications in terms of the
country's largest business, our
Federal Government. I under
stand that almost half of the
evening students in the school
of business administration
are Government employees.
They are studying business
administration in the same
classes as men and women
employed in private industry.

Maryland Matter

House Bill 464 of the last
Maryland Assembly, dealing
With services in the unincorpo-
rated areas of Prince Georges
County, became such a hybrid
as it Travelled through the Sen
ate and back again to the
House of Delegates that the
Governor vetoed it-rightly, I
believe.
Many citizens, especially in
the Adelphi area, approved
the original purpose of the bill
namely, to grant to the
Board of County Commission
ers power to perform lighting
and cleaning services in the
unincorporated urban sections
without using the procedure
of the Special Improvement
District. It was proposed that
the commissioners be empow-
cred directly to ID furnish
street lights and street signs,
CD collect garbage and trash,
and 90 clean streets and roads
within certain boundaries de-
scribed and to assess a tax for
the service.
The Special Improvement
District, the only means now
available for most of these
municipal services in the unin-
corporated section, is ill-fitted
to the task. It is a rural de-
vice, bearing too heavily on
the voluntary efforts of a few
civic-minded individuals, and
resulting in spotty coverage.
When Delegate Carlton Sick
les presented the original draft
of the bill, the County Com
missioners gave approval. But
in the Assembly the following
insertion was made: "In addi-
ton, the Board is authorized
and empowered by ordinance
to provide for the construction,
maintenance and operation of
public library facilities, and
other governmental facilities,
within such boundaries of an
unincorporated area" Thus
House Bill 464 took on a dual
nature.
I believe only a small group
of people in the 7th precinct
of the Chillum Election Dis
trict supported the move to
fragment library services by
another law.
With one year and seven
months before another bill can
be placed before the Assembly,
a careful study should be made
by the Board of County Com
missioners. along with the
people most concerned. A
measure, both workable and
acceptable, can again be pre-
sented in 1857.
