Jail because Of their inability to

mitted any crime. but were wit
nesses to crimes. Mr.. Robinson
said seven Of them were Mary
land residents.
The Baltimore City Delegate
pointed out that the State As
sociation Of Trial Magistrates
recently had gone on record
in opposition to the requiring
of any bond for Maryland resi-
dents who are considered ma

Studies Suggested
Mr.. Robinson won council
approval Of q suggestion that
the various bar associations in
the State study the problem
independently and present their
findings to the council.
A public hearing on the
matter was proposed for

proper study by the groups.
The delegate got strong sup
port for his study request from
Senator William James, Demo-
crat of Hartford County. and
Senator Louis L. Goldstein,
chairman of the council.
Senator James said the prob
lem was not one strictly for the

county he had known of a case
in which a Greek sailor, badly
beaten by two local men, was
held in Jail 100 days waiting
to testify as a witness against
his assailants.

Montgomery
InsurancePIan
Reduces Cost

Political patronage governs
the distribution Of insurance
in Prince Georges County while
economy and experiment guides
the policy in neighboring Mont
gomery
And on the face Of It, the
taxpayers In Montgomery seem
to be getting the best Of the
deal.
Under Montgomery county's
partial self insurance pro-
gram. established in 1888. its
SIS million worth of cUverage
is costing about $4,000 in
premiums.
According to r. Lee Van
Horn. clerk to the Prince
Georges County Commissioners.
Prince Georges Is paying out
about 100000 q year.
Montgomery County Finance
Director Alex K. Hancock re-
ports that the saying-some
$4,000 during the year-af-
fected by the self-insurance
program is put into a fund to
cover losses under 100000. So
far that fund has built UP to
more than $500. 900.
Montgomery County carries
a 100000 deductible single
catastrophe policy in agree
ment with the county board
Of education on all schools and
other buildings.
Rockville Firm
Mr.. Hancock said the pro-
gram has not been in operation
long enough to determine just
how economical it really is
The Montgomery policy was
written by the Montgomery
Insurance & Bonding Co. OF
Rockville, agent for the Fire
mems Fund Insurance Co. of
San Francisco. Officers of the
local agency are r. Edwin
Brown and Charles L. Ward.
Mr.. Van Horn makes no
bones about the practice In
Prince Georges.
The insurance goes to de-
serving Democrats. Good Re-
publicans don't get any in
surance." he said.
Mr.. Van Horns records
show that 10 agents and
agencies have written policies
now in effect in the county.
The total insurance the
county holds on its buildings
is $40 million.
Mr.. Van Horn claims that
under the previous Republican
regime in the county-pre-1955
the insurance was concen-
trated in a few agencies such
as Sherman Hollingsworth and
Union Commercial. Alvin Beall.
brother to the former Repub-
lican sheriff. is an officer Of the
latter.
Losing on Renewals
The latter company still
holds $4.9 million worth of the
county'S insurance.
That is more than any pres
ent Democratic agent has.
Mr.. Hollingsworth has lost
much of his insurance with the
policies going to good Demo-
Gratis" when they come up for
renewals. Mr.. Hollingsworth
still has some $2.2 million
worth of insurance.
The biggest single holder of
insurance among county Dem
ocrats is Perry o. wilkinson,
chairman of the county's dele
cation to the General As
sembly.
Mr.. wilkinson has some $2.3
million worth of the county in
surance in effect with pre-
miums amounting to $ll,ol0.
Mr.. wilkinson also has writ
ten some $4,875,000 worth of
insurance for the State and
recently was disclosed by The
Star as the biggest underwater
of State insurance outside Of
the actual brokers Of record.
In the $1.4 million to SIS
million bracket of Prince.
