Court-ordered Tax Could
Be Moose, Byrd Says

A suggestion that Federal
courts may be asked to order
tax levies for public schools was
hit today by State Senator Har-
ry F. Byrd, jr.. of Winchester,
Va, who said such a move would
give judges 1.-The power to Stran-
gle the people"
The possibility of seeking
urt-enforced school taxes was
raised by Thurgood Marshall,
chief counsel for the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, during hear
ing on the Prince Edward County
segregation suit at Rich
mond on Wednesday.
He said there was a legal
precedent where a Federal court
compelled a county to make a
levy in a case involving money
owed the United States, but he
added; 1T poses a question which
we have not yet reached in this
case.
Senator Byrd said the posi-
bility raises a basic iSsue-can

plete. He asked Judge Snead
to rule the town is entitled to
the dam but the judge said
"only if satisfactory conditions
can be arranged"
Mr.. Van Dyck said: THE (Vir-
ginia) statute has set up certain
conditions about health and
navigation and these have been
met. No additional evidence
has been given on these"
Restrictions Denied
Loudoun Commemorative At
torney Sterling Harrison asked
the judge in his final order to
restrict the number of users of
the water system. But Judge
Snead said:
1T is an unreasonable restric-
ton to say the town of Fairfax
can't supply water to anyone
who might need it,"
Some OF the conditions which
Fairfax might be asked to meet
as cited in arguments yester-
day-include maintenance of the
normal farm economy of the
area; the flow Of the stream
below the dam in extremely dry
weather; pay damages if the
economy of the area is hurt;
keep silt and growth around
the reservoir under control; do
away with stagnant pools and
the protection of historical spots
along the creek.

Slayer Contests
Mental Exam

The legality of States mo-
ton ordering a mental examina-
ton for a man who pleads not
guilty to murder by reason Of
insanity is being studied in
Prince Georges Circuit Court.
Judge Charles C. Marbury
said he would return a decision
in a few days on arguments
that a court-directed mental
examination of Francis A DAM
n.y. Fischer would violate his
constitutional rights.
Partner Killed
Fischer, 40. is accused by
Prince Georges County police Of
fatally shooting his partner,
Wilfred A. Grove, A. last Au-
gust 8 at the Half Shell Res
taurant. 1910 Branch avenue,
Silver Hill.
Joseph B. Simpson, jr., who Is
defending Fischer with two other
attorneys. argued yesterday that
subjecting Fischer to a mental
examination would violate his
constitutional rights in that his
conversations with doctors would
be testimony against himself.
The attorney said that il
Fischer refused to talk to doc
tors. they could make no valid
report. Fischer's silence then
would be prejudicial to his case
when brought out in court, Mr..
Simpson added.
Psychiatrist TeStifieS
Mr.. Simpsons arguments fol-
lowed the testimony of DR.. Man
fred S. Guttmacher, psychiatrist
for the Supreme Bench of Balti-
more. The doctor told the court
he did not believe a mental
examination of Fischer now
could determine his sanity at the
time of the shooting.
States Attorney Blair H.
Smith declared that the ordinary
procedure of a mental examina-
ton in such cases does not vio-
late self determination rules.
Testimony not given in open
court cannot be ruled self

NUIIIVN IND
Resigning Blast
Of Hospital Aide
Takes Issue With
Dr.. Phillips on
District General

Commissioner David B. Kar-
rick has taken issue with a re-
signing District General Hospital
medical officers parting blast.
The city head commented yes
terday that he could not agree
with DR.. Lawrence Phillips "as-
sumption that all the difficulties
at District General are due to
the indifference and stupidity OF
others"
Mr.. Karrick said he was aware
of the problems and appropria-
ton inadequacies at the hospital
as well as in other areas OF
District activities, particularly
schools"
Effective November 80
DR.. Phillips submitted his res
ignation as chief medical officer
of the admitting and emergency
service at the hospital to the
Office of DR.. Joseph Fazekas, the
hospitals chief of staff. He
wrote that it would be effective
80.
Mr.. Karrick said the decision
of DR.. Phillips, whom he called
IAN able physician" came as no
surprise. DR.. Phillips has been
critical of the hospital admins
tration before.
II regret the method by which
he submitted his resignation,
Mr.. Karrick said, however,
which the superintendent of the
hospital, the director of public
health and I learned of IN the
press"
In Karrick'S Department
The hospital, as Public Health
Department institution, comes
under the supervision of Mr.,
Karrick in the administrative di-
vision of activities among the
city heads.
DR.. Phillips resigned with an
attack on the Anticipated poll
cies" of the hospital.
He charged the environment
lis intolerable if one is to retain
his self-respect. 1t is even more
degrading when one comes to
realize that this environment was
born of ignorance and thrives on
the lack of interest. absence of
courage and at times downright
stupidity"

Federal Courts dictate how a
legislator shall vote?"
In a telegram to Alex r..
Preston, reporter for The Star
who wrote the story concerning
Mr.. Marshall's suggestion, Sena-
tor Byrd declared:
There is only one tax-levying
power-the elected representa-
tives of the people. To suggest
that the court can direct a
legislator how to perform his
duties and how to cast his vote
is to give to judges. who are not
elected by the people or re-
sponsible to. the people. the
power to strange the people.
The proposal that the courts
take into their hands the legis-
lative powers transcends the
racial qestion, transcends the
problem of whether there should
be segregated or integrated
schools. 1t strikes directly at
the heart of American consti-
tutional government.
"A Federal court in Wash
ington usurped a purely local
function when it attempted to
take control of the local schools.
Should a court, following the
dictates of the NAACP, seek to
assume control of the legislative
bodies. another savage blow
will have been struck at con-
stitutional government.
"As a legislator I want to
make clear this point: I shall
permit no pressure by any court
anywhere to determine how l
shall cast my votes. If this be
defiance, let Chief Justice War
rem make the most of it,"

D. c. Borrowing Solely
For Schools Questioned

A District official said yester-
day he doubts that a borrowing
program would be permitted in
the District applying only to
school construction.
Schuyler Lowe, director of gen.
eral administration, said he be-
lieves that if the District
launches program of building
with borrowed funds, it would
be done on an overall basis
rather than just applying to
school projects.
Mr.. Lowe told the D. c. Leg
islative Council a tentative study
made for the District Govern
ment showed it would be feasible
for the city to go in debt as much
as 500 million in its general
fund. He said there is a present
deficit of $40 million in this fund,
leaving a leeway of some $50
million.
The District school admins
tration proposed on Thursday
that a $40 million school con-
struction and improvement pro-
gram, embracing five years. be
launched in the District.
Congress Has Decision
Such a proposal has not yet
been approved by the District
School Board nor by the Com
missioners. 1t would also have to
be cleared through Congress.
Mr.. Lowe and Charles zellers,
deputy superintendent Of schools,
discussed the subject yesterday
with members Of the Legislative
Council. an organization made
up Of representatives Of a num-
Der of citizens organizations.
Mr.. Zellers said certain circum-
stances had forced administra-
tors to propose borrowing money
to bring the schools in line with
what the community is demand
ing. among other things, smaller
classes"
He said the board would not
be ready TO make a final decision
on the subject for three or four
weeks. but that the administra-
tive officers arrived at the oeci-
sion through a process Of elm
ination, when they could find no
other funds with which TO build
new schools.
Advantages Seen
Mr.. Lowe said the plan has
several valuable features. among
them the possibility Of complete
ing new projects before the con-
stantly rising costs get too high
He gave as an example the ex-
pansion program At Anacostia
High School. which he said now
cannot be completed until an
additional $4,000 Is found
somewhere.

was not too short-sishted. Mr..

On Air Conditioning

The importance Of shading
windows from direct sunlight
when you want to keep a house
cool in summer is demonstrated
by the experience Of engineers in
air conditioning skyscrapers.
"For every 100 square feet of
unshaded, unfavorably oriented
glass in tall buildings, these
experts say. "about one ton of
air conditioning must be pro-
vided."
A ton of air conditioning
means the equivalent of cooling
provided by ton of ice. and 100
