The president of the Prince
Edward County Branch of the
Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has
been ordered to turn subpoenaed
material over to the Boatwright
Committee or be held in con-
tempt of court.
Judge Joel w. Flood of the
4th judicial Circuit ordered the

committee next Wednesday. His
ruling came after a hearing on
an NAACP motion to quash the
subpoena.
A motion by Oliver w. Hill
of Richmond, NAACP counsel,
to stay the ruling was overruled
oy Judge Flood.
The ruling came after the
judge listened to two hours of
testimony and two more of argu-
ments by attorneys.
Delegate John B. Boatwright
Of Buckingham, committee
chairman. testified that what
we want here is to learn the
method and means of conducting
this barratry," which he said the
committee was convinced had
been practiced in the Prince
Edward County school segrega-
ton case. I'VE need such infor-
to report properly with
the full facts to the General

:. We admit that what we have
done, if done now, would be in

legislative laws relating to Of

apply to actions now five or six
years old"
He added the NAACP doesn't

What we're saying is that we're

Farm Goods Store
Near Silver Spring
Ordered Closed

The owners of a farm produce
store on Colesville road north Of
Silver Spring were ordered yes.
terday to close it down in an in
junction signed by a Montgom-
cry County Circuit judge.
The court order, issued after
county officials complained the
store violated a coming ordi-
nance, was directed against Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar T. johnson
whose small farm and store are
located on Colesville road be-
tween White Oak and Spring
brook. The Johnsons have oper-
ated the store for approximately
10 years.
In 1850, Mr.. johnson, who il
So, was granted a special excep-
ton from the County Board of
Appeals to operate his store in a
rural-residential zone. The per-
NIT stipulated he was allowed to
sell only produce grown on his
own property. Later. residents
in the area complained the farm
stand was selling groceries not
grown on the premises and Mr..
johnson was charged with vio-
lating the coming ordinance.
The farm-store operator vas
acquitted in the coming violation
case, but his special exception
permit was not renewed. County
inspection officials in May filed a
new bill of complaint alleging
that the store still was being OPP
Grated in defiance of county
laws.

But there were rumblings
from other sources in Demo-

surrounding Mr.. Gilmer's with

campaign a sensitive one. Mr..

Sewer Bond
Issue Sold to
Virginia Firm

Arlington today sold a 81 mil
lion sanitary sewer bond issue
at an interest rate of 3.75 per
cent to a Lynchburg (Va.) in
vestment firm.
Last month, the County Board
turned down a 1892 per cent
offer on the combined sewer and
$22 million courthouse improve
'ment issues. The rejected bid.
from Chase Manhattan and As
Isociates. was the lowest submit
ted by six syndicates headed by
New York firms.
Ten days later. the County
Board sold the courthouse issue
at rate of 3.75 per cent-the
same figure as today's-to five
Arlington banks. Today, the
County Board received a loan
bid from Edward G. Webb g.
Co.. Inc. Mr.. Webb had gotten
in touch with county officials
earlier to pave the way for the
offer.
The board accepted. by a
4-to-1 vote. David Krupsaw cast
the negative ballot. AS was the
case with the offer from the five
Arlington banks, Mr.. Krupsaw
took the position that the coun-
tvs credit rating is such that
lit is entitled" to borrow money
Iat less than 3.75 per cent.
The bond issue was approved
by the voters in November. 1855.
The major project to be financed
by the bond money is a Four

Mr.. Thomson, who is opposed

"Bendheim- Boothe clique" was
brought together by a common
purpose, dedicated to bringing
about a creeping system of in

Mayor Leroy Bendheim also is
supporting Mr.. Smoot.

moderate integrationist.' BY
definition, a moderate integra-
