Historical Society
Against BiIIbourds
On Rockville Pike

The Montgomery County His
torical Society opposes erection
of billboards along relocated
Rockville pike near Rockville.
The society voted to ask the
Rockville Mayor and City Coun-
Gil not to modify or reverse its
action of April %. which denied
an application for roadside
signs or billhDards on that por-
ton Of the highway within the
Rockville limits.
This word was passed along
to the city officials in a letter
from John r. Steelman, presi-
dent Of the society, and DR..
Henry Dec. Adams, secretary.
"As citizens of Montgomery
County" the society officers
said, I'VE believe that billboards
along the Rockville pike would
not only be a safety hazard by
distracting the attention of mo-
florists but also would seriously
detract from the beauty of the
area and from the pleasing i'm
preston we would have our
county seat make on the trav-
cling public"

witness yesterday by the de-
tense when it began its case.
He was the only witness called
by the defense before court
recessed until today.
Mr.. Robinson was questioned
about how much research he
did into the ability Of clients
to pay in civil rights cases. He
replied that he did very little
other than q casual observance,
relying on the attorneys who
called him In. He said the
high cost Of school segregation
cases and other civil rights
cases which must be taken to
the Supreme Court precludes
any but very wealthy persons
paying the costs themselves.

for Negro civil rights. they said
It would also seriously curtail
the corporation they receive
from white Southern lawyers,
they testified.
Most Of yesterdays testimony
dealt with the Legal Defense
and Educational Fund. Thur
good Marshall Of New York,
director counsel for the fund,
said 1t Is now completely
divorced from the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People.
Virginia Negro lawyers for
the NAACP said they would
fear for their professional
careers and their licenses to
practice law If the laws were
enforced.
NAACP Not Tax Exempt
Mr.. Marshall explained the
history Of the progressive sep
aration Of the fund from the
parent NAACP. Complete sep
aration came within the past
few years, he said, because
contributions to the NAACr
are not deductible for income
tax purposes because 1t at
tempts to influence legislation.
Funds for legal defense
come solely from contributions,
he said. since there is no fee
attached to membership. TO-
tai income last year was $751;
263. Mr.. Marshall said.
Income had been going UP
for the past few years, but this
year has shown q sharp decline
which Mr.. Marshall attributed
to publicity incident to an In
junction against the NAACP in
Texas. In the first eight
months Of this year income was
about $4,000. compared with
$246, 900 in eight months Of
1856.
The plaintiffs are asking q
temporary restraining order tc
prevent State oficials from
enforcing the laws, and also a
permanent Injunction against
their enforcement.
Counsel for the defendants
the attorney general Of Virginia
and certain Commonwealth
attorneys-said they expected
to complete the defense before
noon tomorrow.

Gifts to be Collected
for Mental Patients

Jacksonville - The Florida As
ISOLATION for Mental Health is
organizing a compaign to collect
Christmas gifts for the more than
10000 patients in the states
mental hospitals.
Twenty local mental health
chapters throughout Florida are
expected to set up collection CEN
tiers for gifts, and the state or
ganization is asking civic groups
in other communities to join in
the program.
Malcolm Baker, FAMH execu-
tive director, said donors will be
asked to buy gifts from a list
approved by the hospitals.
Among the acceptable articles are
clothing, cosmetics, tobacco, sew
ing and embroidery materials,
candy, stationery, games, bail
point pens, and mechanical pen
ellis.
"A small thing like mechani-
cal pencil can be an important
link with the outside world for a
patient. 1t is evidence that he is
not forgotten" said Baker. 1--WE
are also suggesting that Christ
mas card with money would be
ideal gift, so. a patient without
funds can go to the canteen with
his friends. "A dollar could mean
20 trips for a soft drink"
The collection will be carried on
between Nov. IA and Dec. Is.
Packages will be shipped from
the collection centers to the Flor
ida State Hospital, Chattachoo-
chez; G. Pierce Wood Memorial
State Hos2ital, Hollywood; and
Hospital, Arcadia; South Florida
the Sunland Training School,
Gainesville. Outside tags, bearing
a full description of the gifts, will
enable the hospitals to distribute
them appropriately.

Social Security
to be Combined

Some elderly couples will re-
ceive. notice this month that their
social security benefits will be
combined into a single check, be-
ginning in January, Edward p.
B onston, district manager Of the
Miami (North) social security of
fee at pa NE 10th ST., announced
today.
Other couples who are receiving
separate social security benefit
checks as husband and wife will
be notified in subsequent months,
he said, usually at least two
months before they will be paid
their first combined checks.
This new payment procedure is
expected to save the government
about 81 million a year. Payment
of only one check, representing
the combined monthly benefit
amounts of a retired worker and
his wife, was started on a trial
basis in September, 1856, but was
limited mainly to families in
which the wife first became en-
titled to benefits in September,
1856 or later. In its 10 months Of
operation, the new payment
method has proved successful and
productive Of substantial savings,
Mr.. Blonston said, and w | |
therefore be extended, beginning
in January, 1858 to elderly
couples who were on the social
security rolls before Sept, 1856.
No combination of social secur-
ity benefits payable to a husband
and wife will be made where they
are not living together or where
all or part of the wife's benefits
is based upon her own record Of
work under social security. Amy
person who has a special need for
separate check may, when he
gets his notice, arrange with his
social security office for his pay-
ments to continue by separate
check.
