outstanding ability, whose reputation
for producing the best in Aberdeen-An-

His accomplishment in establishing a
herd of cattle so well known over the
years for consistent high quality should
be a challenge to all who are devoted
to the breeding of better livestock
His honesty and integrity in deal

respect of all who knew him. While he
was modest, never claiming to have
better cattle than his fellow breeders,
it was commonly known that he had
an eye for the good ones, and his
services as a judge were much in de-
mand.

neighbor, and especially for the keen
sense of humor that enabled him to

MeckIing Trial
T runsfer SOUGHT

BALTIMORE, Mar. 6 (P).-
Lawyers for John Henry Meek
ling of Annapolis, yesterday asked
the Federal court to transfer out
of Maryland his trial on charges
OF negligence in the operation of
a passenger schooner on the
Chesapeake Bay if prosecutors
insist that a jury hear the case.
Fourteen lives were lost in the
August IL disaster which led to
the charges against Meckling ac-
cused of operating the schooner,
the Levin j. Marvel, when it was
in an unseaworthy condition.
Meckling's attorneys asked
that the trial be transferred to
the United States Court of West
iern Pennsylvania. They claimed
their client could not get fair
jury trial on the Eastern Sea-
board.
They asked for a trial without
"a jury because of published ac-
counts of the disaster which they
said cited Coast Guard sources
on Meckling's poor Judgment"
A second motion asked that
two counts of the indictment be
dismissed on the grounds that
sections of the law they cite ap-
ply to motor boats and not to
sailing vessels.

ing about interposition and did
not understand that he was sent

He was one of three commit
tee members who voted against
reporting out the resolution.
Favored by Almond

Almond, who sat in on the meet
ing, said he saw no reason why
the convention should moi

The Privileges and Elections
Committee also was ready tt
place before the full conven'
ton today the proposed constl-
tutional amendment, which
would allow payment of tuition
grants to children who objec
to attending integrated schools
The amendment finally agreed
on by the committee closely
followed language that appeared
on the ballot January 9 wher
Virginia voters decided to cal
the convention.
The amendment was drawn
by Frederick T. Gray, a member
of the Privileges and Elections
Committee and a former Assist
ant Attorney General.
Amendment Rebuffed
The committee turned thumbs
down on another amendment Of
fered by Mr.. DaWbarn.
Mr.. Dawbarn's amendment
would make it mandatory thai
the localities be given an oppor-
tunity to decide whether tuition
grants should be paid.
The amendment drafted by
Mr.. Gray, however, simply per-
mits the payment OF tuition
grants without specifying
whether it be a Statewide OF

works out details of Virginia s

barn. The city he represents
voted against calling the con-
vention.
Dean Brundage formally was
seated as the delegate from Fair
fax County as the convention
'reconvened this morning. The
vote was unanimous. His accep-
tance had been unanimously
recommended by the privileges
and elections committee after a
hearing yesterday of challenge
by Charles Pickett, unsuccessful
Fairfax candidate for conven-
ton delegate.
The idea of Mr.. Gray's pro-
posed amendment is to change
Section al of the State con-
stitution so tuition grants can
be paid students who object
to attending integrated pub
lie schools. This is the first
step in the so-called Gray pro-
gram. which is Virginia's answer
