Bill Would Permit
Access to Records

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. II (P.-
The Maryland State Senate
president today introduced a
bill to make it a crime for public
officials to deny citizens access
to public records.
The measure by Senator Gold
stein, Democrat of Calvert,
would provide a penalty of up
to $25 "for each day Of refusal
or neglect" by a public official
preventing any citizen from see
ing the records.
The bill would define public
records as AL written or
printed books, papers. letters,
documents. dockets, records. no.
tations or maps relating to
State, county or city govern
ment, except for certain State
Roads Commission maps. The
latter would remain secret until
they would no longer be of pos
sible use to real estate sharks.

difficulty to the point of being
able to recommend a single site

however, that legislation would

Senate to extend the life of the

three-week study. The institute
recommended a 24-hour residen-

Such a program would have
cost the boys parents $500 to

He added it was far beyond
their ability to finance it.

The budget is highlighted by
a request to spend $44 million on
the city school system during the
1888 fiscal year. allowing for
an increase in teaching staff
to provide one instructor for
every 80 pupils.
Also, the budget proposed to
spend 1922 million on highways,
$4.6 million on water works and
50 million on sanitary sewers.
A total of $47.4 million was re-
quested to finance city construc-
ton in the fourth year of the
Districts Public Works program.
This would bring spending under
the 10-year. $305 million prog
ram to $167 million-$4 million
than was originally
planned for the four-year pc
Rod.
District Budget Oficer Walter
L. Fowler pointed out. however,
that as q result of price in
creases the spending has bought
less construction for the city
than expected.

the time they were tested. Poor
health was one factor involved
in some cases, she said,
She added that the test was
not conclusive and that the 1900

Hypps said.

School Psychiotric Aid
Urged in Wake of KiIIino

The tragic Staying Of a Is
year-old Silver Spring girl Mon
day by a classmate points up the
failure Of the community to pro-
vide adequate psychiatric serv-
ices. a Montgomery County
school official said yesterday.
The assertion came from T. H.
Owen Knight, director of pupil
personnel in the county school
system.
In his official capacity, Mr.
Knight knew David Vernon Hall,
now in the Rockville Jail charged
in the bludgeoning Monday of
Georgette Anne Hentgen while
sleigh riding.
Had Serious Problems
The Hall youth was long rec
ognized by school authorities as
one having serious emotional
problems and needing help, Mr..
Knight said.
The boy, who had spent his
early years in the county school
system, returned last year to
junior high after five years in
a private school.
He was described as one who
felt inadequate and who lacked
a high opinion of himself.
Last fall through county
efforts he was referred to the

The
Rambler
A Tip for Adults
From Teen-Aqers
BY JACK JONAS

The youngsters around here
live in a world apart from
their elders.
While the adults argue
about who's going to build the
bridges and roads and what's
going to be done about Mary
land and Virginia people who
use the Districts services but
don't pay District taxes, their
teen-agers are giving them an
example of how to work to-
gether to get something done.
Peanuts for Polio is a one
day campaign put on by teen
ayers. 1t is strictly a District
affair. But when the cam
paign officials tabled up their
list of volunteers, they found
nearly third are from nearby
Maryland and Virginia.
While the campaign was
being planned, someone sug-
gested it might be more effec-
tive if those from various high
schools competed with one
another. The majority vetoed
that idea. Let's work together,
they said.
Pupils from a nearby Vir-
GINA high school felt so
strongly against the COMPETE
ton angle that they specifi-
cally asked to be paired with
District youngsters.
They'll be selling peanuts
here Saturday and showing
their elders what can be done
when people put their heads
together.

BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

When Bobby Lockhart of Falls
Church won a commanding lead
in the test to determine two
places for Washington in the Ma
tional Match Game Champion
ship, it was reminiscent of his
performance in the first running
of that duckpin classic two years
ago.
At that time he set world
16-game record with an average
of 1877. At Bladensburg Sat-
urday, in the first eight games
of the 15-game qualifying test,
he averaged 1854.
Such a pace easily could win
the Match Game crown, now
worn by Jim Walfensberger of
Hagerstown, who will defend it
on his home lanes at Frank
Turner'S Coliseum March TO.
Lockhart earned the good will
of many duckpin addicts by his
performance in the Match Game
inaugural at Colonial Village. In
points, he finished third behind
Frank Micalizzi of Silver Spring
and Dick Alkas of Bristol, Conn.,,
but was only two points of the
pace. None of the others in the
leight-man finals was close.
The admirers Lockhart &C.
quired at Colonial Village are
hoping he will earn another
crack at. the title. Micalizzi al
ready is qualified. along with
IEl Geib, Julie Singer. Leon
Fleisher, Fred Martin and Billy
lMischou.
These seven give Washington
a worthy representation in the
32-man National field, but
among the 80 now battling for
the remaining two berths are
perhaps a dozen capable of win
ming at Hagerstown. The final
seven games of the preliminary
slated February 8 at Mount
Rainier. could be exciting.
Lockhart's latest splurge is
most timely. AS the city's top
ranked duckpinner, he will ap-
pear on the inaugural Friday
night at 11:20 of "Duckpin
Derby" to be telecast live from

FuIImer, Easy Winner, Finds
Greuves Tougher Than Sugar

the crown off the head of Sugar
Ray Robinson less than a month
ago. "Greaves was tougher than
Robinson" he said.
Greaves, a former Canadian
amateur now fighting out of
of Pittsburgh. brought the crowd
of $500 to it's feet as he ended
the battle in a toe-to-toe furry
with the champion.
But the same pounding hooks
to the midsection and head that
whipped Robinson put Fullmer
clearly on top of Greaves about
midway in the fray.
Fullmer weighed 1902.
Greaves 162.
The roar of the fans hadn't
died down in the Coliseum before
Jake Mintz. Greaves' manager,
was demanding a championship
fight for my boy"
Mintz yelled that Greaves had
given "Fullmer a better fight
than Robinson did"
Another rematch between
Fullmer and Robinson would be
just taking money out Of the
Ipublic's pocket. Robinson is an
old man-should be in a wheel
chair. The public wants to see
young blood"
Fullmer's manager. Marv Jen-
son, who raises mink in nearby
West Jordan as does the cham
Ipion, merely said: stack up that
green stuff, Jake, and we'll talk
about a rematch."
Fullmer got the victory on
Judge Del Markhams 6-3-l scor-
ing; Judge Bob Yokum's 7-1-c
call and the 9-l marked up by
Referee Ken Schulsen. Each
fighter suffered a cut over the
left eye, but neither was bothered
by 1t.
