Any educational or scientific
group that has a legitimate need
for Pravda, Izvestia or other
Soviet publications in the public
interest can secure it, a Post
Office Department spokesman
said today.
The question was brought into
focus by the fact that Johns
Hopkins University's School of
Advanced International Studies,
1906 Florida avenue NV, has
received only two copies of
Pravda since the first of the
year, The subscription calls for
six weekly.
But Dean Philip w. Thayer of
the school made it clear he does
not know whether the Post Of
flee Department has stopped the
paper, whether it has been lost
in transit from Russia or whether
Pravda has stopped sending 1t.
ACtAhS Ol AO4V huliuS
The Post Office Department
spokesman, however, said that
not only Pravda and Izvestia,
but Soviet mailing pieces of all
sorts are being denied mail
ability to this country" generally.
He said they contain Communist
propaganda and are part of the
avowed policy of Soviet Russia
to further its interests.
The spokesman said the de-
partment is acting on a 1910
ruling of the Attorney General
made at that time principally
to shut out Nazi propaganda at
the outbreak of World War II.
He said propaganda deemed in
imical to the interests of the
United States can be kept out.
Publications are not specifically
named in the Attorney Generals
decision, but the Post Office De-
partment is acting under its
Interpretation, the spokesman
said ...
I'VE are acting in full accord
with the State Department and
the White House." he asserted.
This whole thing has been
carefully worked out"
He said those having an edu-
cational or scientific interest IN
Soviet publications can apply to
the Solicitor of the Post Office
Department for authority to re-
ceive them.
Basically Restricted
Publications from Russia are
basically restricted to two groups
members of the diplomatic
corps and to registered foreign
agents. the spokesman said.

Montgomery Liquor
PricesComparedi1 in
Testimony on Bill
BY O Sior Ssoft Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. l2.-Mont-
gomery County's dispensary sys-
tenn sells liquor at prices gen.
orally above those charged in
Virginia and the District but
below those charged in neighbor-
ing Prince Georges County ard
Baltimore City.
That was brought out here
yesterday by James F. Erwin, sys-
tenn director. at a Senate FIJI
nance Committee hearing on a
bill aimed at stalling eff a
threatened boycott of the Mont
gomery liquor monopoly by liq-
uor distillers.
Montgomery County Attorney
Charles M. Ireland told the COM
mittee that eight distilleries.
which have been selling directly
to his county's dispensary sys-
tenn for years, have suddenly
announced the county will have
to buy from wholesalers.
This would result in higher
prices in county stores and put
Montgomery in a greater COM
petltive disadvantage with the
District and Virginia. he said.
He denied, as alleged by Senator
George Rella, Democrat. of Bal
timore that the Montgomery
ctoroc %oLo l>,,c;y,aee frov,, Dolt;
more retailers.
MIR. Ireland charged that the
wholesalers are pressuring the
distillers to stop selling directly
to Montgomery because they
want a cut of the revenues from
the dispensary system, which
amounted to about $750,000 last
year.
Speaking against the bill
which would deny a distiller a
right to sell in Maryland if ne
refused to sell to a county dis

| Vote Tentative OK
On SIum Clearance
BY Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 12.-The
Maryland House of Delegates has
tentatively approved a proposed
constitutional amendment to
authorize the Legislature to ex-
tend redevelopment and slum
clearance powers to counties and
municipalities throughout the
State.
The measure is patterned after
similar authority now held by
Baltimore City and the District
of Columbia.
The House yesterday, on a
voice vote, adopted a favorable
report on the redevelopment
measure, introduced by Delegates
Blair Lee III, Democrat, of Mont
gomery, and Ridgely P. Melvin
jr., Democrat, of Anne Arundel.
The vote in the Judiciary Com
mittee, II to 9 for the favorable
report, forecast stiff debate on
the measure when it comes up fo1
final vote in the House next
week.
A number of Montgomery
County leaders spoke for the bill
before the committee yesterday
And Mr.. Melvin read a statement
from Montgomery County Coun-
cilwoman Stella B. Werner, in
dorsing the measure.
David Scull of the Montgom-
cry Real Estate Board and presi-
dent of the County Chamber of
Commerce, told the committee
the "Foggy Bottom" redevelop-
ment project in the District was
a prime example of what the
constitutional amendment would
do for towns like Rockville,
Gaithersburg, Frederick, Hagers-
town and Cumberland.
