Brookmont itself Is in a bad

home owners would lose their
property "in our time"
This is so, she said in her
talk on Future Development In
the Potomac Valley Area" at the
Brookmont Baptist Church, be-
cause of the high cost of building
the super-highway. There will

Maryland over who will pay for
the road. she predicted.
Few Of you at this end will
want the road. but it is bound
to come" she declared. 1.-THE
people from Cumberland down
to Hancock want 1t and need 1t
badly. An additional access road
is bound to help Cumberland and
we won't be able to stand in the
way of progress" -
The Federal Government ai-
ready has appropriated $3.50 900
to make a start on the parkway

.Delinquents
Not Subject
ToIntegrotion

BALTIMORE, Jan. 10 R.-I
The Supreme Courts decision
outlawing segregation In public
schools does not apply to Mary
land training schools for juve-.
mile delinquents, says the State
attorney general
Attorney General c. Ferdinand
Sybert said in an opinion re-
leased yesterday laws creating
the schools specify separate In
stitutions for Negroes and whites.
These laws are effective until
changed by "our judiciary or our
Legislature" he said.
The opinion blocked the imme-
Idiate transfer of Negro girls from
the Barrett School for Girls in
Glen Burnie to the all-white
IMontrose School for Girls near
Reisterstown.
The transfer had been pro-
posed by the State Welfare Board
latter the Supreme Court deci-
sion on segregation in public
schools
Maryland training schools are
lin a unique position. said Mr..
Sybert in the opinion. which
was also signed by his deputy
Norman P. Ramsey.
1.-THE distinguishing character
Iistic of such institutions" they
said, ''is that inmates are there
under legal compulsion and are
denied the privilege Of leaving
the schools. The inmates are. In
other words, confined to these
institutions.
"This is situation different
from that which was before the
Supreme Court In the public
school cases, in that educational
equality was the problem before
the court.
Here, desegregation of the
institution, contrary to express
Legislative intent evidenced by
the statutes creating the insti-
buttons. could have the effect Of
enforcing social as well as edu-
cational association among in
mates for "a hours day."
