These members refused, over
Reddick's objections, to grade
examination papers of applicants
from two colleges on grounds the
colleges were not qualified to
train students to practice medi-
cine and surgery.

The State contends Reddick

which later licensed unqualified
persons to practice in Maryland.
Mr.. Ramsey, asking the court
to declare the rump board il

that its examining board might
be abolished by the Legislature.

Montgomery Will Vote
On Budget Change Plan

Montgomery County voters in
the November general election
will decide referendum questions
on proposed changes in county
budget and purchasing proce-
dures.
The charter amendments, APP
proved by the County Council
last week, would change the
date for final adoption of the
budget from June 80 to April is
and raise the ceiling for expend-
itures without field bids from
$500 to $1,000.
The County Supervisor of
Elections Office said yesterday
the proposed change will be
placed on the ballot in the form
of at least two referendum ques-
tions.
County fiscal officers declared
that all actions prior to final
budget approval will be moved
back two and a half months. In

There's a special reason for

Formers Hit Plan to Sell
Tobacco Warehouses

Continued operation Of Mary
lands tobacco market and ware
houses in Baltimore City drew
strong support yesterday from
$500 Southern Maryland farm
ers and their families.
After picnicking on country
ham. crabs and fried chicken at
Seaside Park on the Chesapeake
Bay. the farmers, all members
OF the Maryland Tobacco Grow
ers' Association, rallied in oppo-
sition to a ridiculous and dis
astrous suggestion" that the
warehouse facilities be sold.
The association is composed
of leaf growers selling on the
Baltimore hogshead market.
They loudly applauded State
Controller Willard E. Tawes, who
told them warehouses in Balti-
more protect the farmer from
the onslaught of competitive in
tereStS."
Urges Association Backing
Mr.. Tawes urged support of
the association, adding: IF you
people are in 100 per cent CO.
operation with your association,
you are going to get a fair deal
and everything to which you are
legally and morally entitled.
IF the warehouses in Balti-
more were needed in 1843 when
they were established" he said,
then they are needed more
than ever now because of the
complexities of modern living.
:. 1t is a place where you can
go when the tobacco market is
demoralized and where you don't
have to SELL"
Neither Mr.. Tawes nor asSo-
citation officials referred directly
to the source of opposition to
operation of the Baltimore mar
ket.

TONS general manager, indi-

Operation of Market
Other officials explained that
farmers selling on the loose-leaf
auction markets of Southern
Maryland must unload their
produce regardless of varying
prices. In Baltimore, tobacco can
be stored when the market is off
and sold later at more favorable
prices.
Association spokesman said
persons advocating sale of the
Baltimore warehouses contend
they are too costly for the State
to operate.
But Mr.. Tawes challenged this

LEESBURG, Va, July 90
Judge Raynor V. Snead was tc
rule today in Loudoun County
Circuit Court on a motion tc
strike the evidence in the town
of Fairfax's petition to build a
reservoir on Goose Creek in
Loudoun County.
Attorneys opposing the towns
plan to dam the Loudoun stream
argued that the town had failed
to show that the reservoir was a
necessity or a public conven-
fence.
In the first day of arguments
on the petition, attorneys for the
town presented evidence in an
attempt to show that a water
emergency now exists in Fair
fax.
Walls Giving Out
Fairfax Engineer Glenn w
Saunders. jr., and Mayor John
&c. Wood testified that present
walls serving the town are rap
idly giving out.
They testified that the pres
ent daily demand for water ex-
ceeds the present capacity of the
pumping station in the town
and during the recent hot
weather the towns storage IA
cilitieS were nearly depleted.
They estimated the towns
population now at approximately
$500 and anticipated a popula-
ton of some 10000 to $4,000 by
1880.
Rates Held Excessive
They admitted that water fol-
the town could be purchased
from the Virginia Water Co., 9
subsidiary of the Alexandra
Water Co., but said hat the
rates we're excessive.
The officials said that while
Fairfax lies only one-third of 6

The hearing is expected to be
completed today. If the court
holds the dam and reservoir to
be public necessity and if it
decides there is no town of 500
people on the stream, it will ap-
point five commissioners to study
the health effect of the dam.
A hearing would be held at

lowed a two-day break in loose

Fairfax Public Works Direc-

hard-hit areas protested against
lack of storm drainage facilities.
Mr.. Kipp said the main trou-
BILE spots involve $500 acres of
land for which flood control
measures must be worked out.
He said the trouble spots have

MOSCOW, Mar. 10 o.
Soviet Russia today announced
the death in Moscow of Poland's
top Communist, Boleslaw Beirut.
He would have been 81 on
April IL.
The announcement said the
first secretary of the Polish
United Workers (Communist)
Party died of heart disease late
last night.
A ceremonious state funeral
was arranged. Mr.. Bierut's body
lay in state today in the Hall
of Columns of the Council of

still occupied Poland-to head
its provisional government. He
rode back into his native land

He gave up the presidency to
become premier in 1852 and two
years later resigned to become

Party. The same switch was
made in other Communist bloc
countries, and all were viewed by
