Maryland Bars
Court Criticism

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 81 (R.-
The Maryland Senate rejected
last night a resolution tagged as
a statement criticizing the Su-
preme Court decisions barring
racial segregation in public
schools.
The vote was I'LL, with three
Senators passing and three
others not voting. Fifteen votes
were necessary for passage.
Sponsored by Senator John
Clarence North. Democrat of
Talbot. the resolution would
have requested Congress to pro-
pose States rights amendment
to the Constitution.
Mr.. North proposed this word
ing of the amendment:
There shall be no interfer-
ence with or limitation upon the
power of any State to regulate
health, morals, education, do
nestle relations, transportation
wholly within. its borders, all
property rights. the good order
in the State, elections, except as
to the time of holding Federal
elections, and the voters hereat
shall be those entitled to vote
in State elections; and exclusive
jurisdiction concerning the mat
tiers above enumerated is re-
served to the State without limit
ing in any way the Tenth
Amendment"
School indignation was started
in Mr.. North's home county last
fall.
The Tenth Amendment re-
serves to the States those powers
not explicitly conferred upon the
Federal Government.
A postponement was requested
by Senator Harry A. Cole, Re-

His request was denied by

the city and 1000 connections
in Fairfax County.
The discrimination charge was
made at board meeting by
Joseph H. Freehill. who repre-
sents Falls Church magisterial
district on the board. Many of
the county residents served by
the Falls Church municipal
system live in Mr.. Freehill's dis
trict.
Mr.. Freehill pointed out that
the city has just voted to in
crease its water rates, with
county residents paying a greater
increase than city residents.
On April l the new rates go
into effect. The minimum charge
per quarter for city residents
will go up from $3.50 to Sc and
for county residents from $6
TO So.
For the average consumer in
the city this means 20 per cent
increase in water charges and
for county residents the increase
will average % per cent.
Mr.. Freehill said the city of
Falls Church was earning a
profit from county residents to
help pay municipal expenses.
1t seems to me the city ought
to be in the water business to
serve people without making a
profit" said Mr.. Freehill, Il
am confident it is the intent Of
the Federal law and certainly it
is propriety that the city ought
to furnish water at the most rea-
sonable rates possible"

He said the Maryland General

water from the District to sub
urban municipalities. Mr.. Free
hill said he had seen nothing to
justify the higher rates that are
being charged county residents.
James Head, director of the
public works for the city of Falls
Church. said the city made APP
proximately 100000 profit from
its water system in fiscal year
1856. He estimated the av-
erage profit per customer was SIS.
Mr.. Head estimated that with
the new rates the city would
realize a total profit of $4,000
which he said would be about ST

Under the new rate schedule
the average city customer would
pay $50 per year and the aver
age county customer would pay

Mr.. Freehill's comments on
the Falls Church water situation

formal approval TO permit

On Trial in
Bar Staying

Francis A. Fisher went on trial
at Upper Marlboro today
charged with the pistol Staying
last August of his partner, Will
ford (Buzzie) Grove, A, at the
Half Shell, their Silver Hill
tavern.
The 48-year-old tavernkeeper
is represented by Attorneys A,
Gwynn Bowie. Joseph B. Simp-
son and Oscar Duley. He waived
jury trial. His case is being
heard by Judges John Raymond
Fletcher. Charles C. Marbury
and John B. Gray, jr.
Prince Georges County States
Attorney Blair H. Smith said he
intended to prove the Staying
was a "coldblooded, premedi-
tated killing"
Insanity Plea Likely
Opening of the trial was de-
layed briefly when the defense
asked for a ruling on prospective
witnesses. 1t was agreed that all
except several psychiatrists be
required to leave the court un-
til they testified.
The ruling confirmed Fischer's
intention to plead insanity as a
defense.
Mr.. Smith said he intended
to prove that Fischer and the
dead man quarreled at the res
taurant on the night of August
8. He said Fischer left the prem

that"
He also said witnesses would
testify that Fischer stood over
his mortally wounded partner
and refused to let bystanders
help the injured man.
Don't touch him. Let him
bleed to DEATH" Mr.. Smith said
the defendant ordered those who
sought to assist Mr.. Grove.
First Witness Testifies
States Attorney Smith also
told the three judges that pa
irons in the restaurant became
so enraged at Fischer the police
were forced to spirit him from
the scene.
Francis N. Ward, deputy chief
of the Silver Hill Rescue Squad
the first witness today, said
Fischer held him and his crew
at bay until police arrived on the
scene, preventing them from
helping Mr.. Grove.
Mr.. Grove, a 320-pound ex-
Army master sergeant, held three
decorations for heroism during
the invasion of France.

He said he has noticed the
concern in Prince Georges with

Baltimore boulevard area"
Baltimore County, with a per
capita income of $2,218 and
Baltimore City, with $2,178,
ranked second and third in the
standings.
Prince Georges County, with a
per capita income of $l,941, was
fourth. Other area counties and
their standing were: Anne Arun-
del, fifth. $1,817; Calvert, 22d,
1857; Charles, goth, $1,273, and
Frederick. 18th, $l,597.
The study shows that the high
est incomes belonged to subur-
ban areas closest to Washington
and Baltimore. 1t indicated also
that, while the overall trend of
per capita income is upward in
Maryland. 20 of the % counties
had average incomes lower than
the United States average for
1855. Only three counties and
the city of Baltimore exceeded
the national average.
Population Up $4,000
Population in the State, the
bureau notes, has jumped from
2,364,055 in 1850 to 2.744,014 in
1855, an increase of some $50. 900
persons. All Eastern Shore coun-
ties, except Wicomico, showed
decrease as did Allegany and
Garrett.

dents in Montgomery County and
10000 for Prince Georges Coun-

already have jumped consider
ably, based on reports by local

adopted TO avoid indignation.

ment program that passed the

for assignment of pupils by a
three-member State board. He
also supported the Governor
fund cutoff bill, which automat-
ically withholds State money
from any school system in which
indignation occurs.
Those OF us who supported
the segregation program are re-
sponsible for the fact that no
Negro has been admitted to white
