Long was convicted two weeks

Long faced a possible death

jury failed to recommend leni-
ency. He stood quietly as the
sentence was imposed.
Judge Reeves told the defend

Elderly Widow
Killed by Train

An elderly widow was killed
yesterday when a Washington
bound Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road freight train struck her at
the Queensbury road crossing in
Riverdale, just few doors away
from her home.
She was identified by Prince
Georges County police as Mrs.
Daisy M. Hardy. about "a. of
6104 Rhode Island avenue
Riverdale. The crossing is at the
next corner. where Rhode Island
avenue intersects with Queens
bury road.
Mrs. Hardy, who lived alone in
an upstairs apartment at the
Rhode Island avenue address.
was walking from east to west
from the other side of the tracks
toward her home when the ac-
Icident occurred about 1922 pm.
The engineer of the 93-car
train, Floyd M. hewitt, go, of
PIG S street NE. told police he
applied the brakes when he saw
the woman walk into the path
lof the train but was unable to
stop in time. He said the train
was going about 35 miles an
hour.
Mrs. Hardy was pronounced
dead on the scene by DR.. John B.
Maloney, county medical ex-
aminer. Her body was thrown
about rs feet off to the side of
the tracks by the impact.
The body was removed to
GaSch's Funeral Home. Hyatts-
vile. Police are now searching
for relatives. Neighbors said Mrs
Hardy had lived there by herself
for about five years and said they
understood she had a half-sister
in California and cousin in
Ohio. So far as neighbors knew.
Mrs. Hardy had no children.
A technical charge of man.
slaughter was filed against the
engineer and he was freed on

County Council Opposes
|Stote Cigarette Tax

The Montgomery County
Council yesterday formally voiced
opposition to Gov. McKeldin's
proposed Statewide tax or
cigarettes.
Montgomery County already
leVieS a 2-cent tax.
Yesterdays action came in q
formal vote despite a provision
that the county would get the
revenue from 8 cents of the total
scent tax proposed.
Council members feel the dis
parity between the proposed
Maryland tax and the tax in sur
rounding areas would force
cigarette purchasers out of the
State.
The decrease in sales would
more than ease up the increase
revenues that the county'S s.
cent share would bring in, it was
reported.
Most nearby areas now have
"a 2-cent-a-pack rate.

Mann Scouts Cleric Claim
Race BilIHits Free Speech

Delegate Harrison Mann OF
Arlington today denied that his
anti-NAACP bill sought to curl
free speech and charged that the
Richmond Ministers Association
had stopped to an untruth" in
making such an accusation.
The Arlington legislators CON-
ment was in reply to the min
listers Statement of conviction
on race" released Monday.
Repeal of House bill so, known
as an anti-NAACP bill, was
urged by the ministers. The
bill, of which Mr.. Mann was
chief sponsor at the September
special session of the General
Assembly, requires organizations
or persons principally engaged
in racial activities to register
with the State Corporation Com
mission.
Mann COntradlctS CrltIclSm
AS the ministers saw it, the
bill sought to restrict criticism
of legislative actions which
amounted to "coerced solutions
of racial problems, and Ito re-
strict discussion or orderly agi-
tation by persons interested in
current race problems" The
result, they said. was contrary
to our traditional concepts OF
civil and religious liberty"
Delegate Mann fatty contra
dicted the ministers.

own statement" he said. that

stricted their discussion or or

Maryland Bill
1oBar Virginia
Fishing Offered

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 80 (R.-
Three Maryland Delegates moved
today to end the States running
battle with Virginia over oyster
ing in the Potomac River by run
ming the Old Dominion out OF
the waters.
Delegates j. Frank Raley, jr.,
and Frank A. Combs. st. Marys
Democrats, and John T. Parran
jr., Democrat of Charles County
sponsored a bill to abrogate the
l785 compact which gave Vir-
ginia permission to fish in the
Potomac.
Maryland owns the river. 1t
gave Virginia fishing rights in
exchange for relinquishing by
Virginia of the right to charge
tolls on ships passing the capes
The States agreed in 1881 that
oysters should not be taken by
ldredge. Virginians have been ac-
cused or arrested by Maryland
enforcement authorities periodi-
cally for violating the law.
Governors Air Shooting
Bullets have been fired numer-
GUS times and recently the Gov
ernorS of the two States ex-
changed letters on one shooting
The three Maryland delegates
said abrogation of the compact
of 1885 would end the fussing
and feuding since Virginians
would have to stop fishing en-
tirely in the Potomac. They said
Maryland doesn't gain anything
by the compact any more since
the Federal Constitution pro-
vides for free navigation of ships.
They conceded they might be
on shaky legal ground and that
one State couldn't abrogate the
compact.
But even if it goes to the
Supreme Court and we lose,
Maryland will be no worse off
than it is now" Mr.. Raley rea-
Soned.
Would Drop Commission
The three delegates also put
in a bill which will repeal a
1851 Maryland law establishing
a joint commission with Virginia
on the Chesapeake Bay and the
Potomac. Virginia has never
agreed to join.
The Virginia Legislature has
agreed to joint commission to
supervise only the Potomac. But
Maryland hasn't.
The three delegates are con-
sidering a bill that would give
Virginia fishing rights in the
Potomac if the compact is abro-
gated. However, all licensing.
regulating and enforcing would
be done by MARYLAND.
