Asks Probe
IN Beating
Of Kcuads

The Detroit branch of the
National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored
People is questioning the
Detroit Police Commissioner
and Mayor Miriam on the
finding of no cause for action
in an incident involving Off
GERS attached TO the Vernon
Precinct Station and several
Negro youth.
The case under fire is the
September 10th arresting of the
youths, in which a reporter and
photographer of a daily paper
accused officers of beating one
OF the youths.
However. the officers were
later exoncrated of the charges
by Police Commissioner Hart. /.
Since that time several civic
groups, including the NAAcP
and the Detroit Inferdenomina-
fionsI Ministerial Alliance have
asked the Mayor 10 probe into
this police brutality.
The letter sent TO Mayor Miri-
ami by the NAACP reads as
follows:

fact that only 95 complaints of

Voters League Favors
Graduated Income Tax

Maryland League of Women
Voters.
At present, all State resi-
dents must pay personal in
come tax at the flat rate of
three percent. And food pur-
chases are exempt from the
State retail sales tax.
The Leagues position was
reached after a two-year study
Of the State tax system. This
study convinced League mem
bers in Baltimore City and nine
counties that there is need for
a technical study of the effect
of present taxes and proposed
changes on personal income
and on business and industrial
income and activity.
This study should be made
before any major changes are
made in the State tax system,
according to the League, which
is investigating the possibility
of having such a study author
lied at the present session of
the General Assembly.
The League said it favored:
"a technical study of the
Maryland State tax system
which would include an analy-
sis of the effect of the present
and proposed taxes on business
and personal incomes.

Reese's statement to county
legislators in Annapolis on
Monday night that such a
measure was being drafted to
plug loopholes in present
county liquor laws.
One Of those pressing for the
anti bottle club law yester-
day was States Attorney Leon
ard T. Hardy. whose immediate
predecessor in that Office, now
Delegate Alger Y. Barbee, seeks
to introduce a bin of his own
to give liquor-selling privileges
to veteran and fraternal groups.
1--WE don't want bottle clubs
springing up all over Mont
gomery County Just as we don't
want to see saloons on every
corner" Mr.. Hardy said.
No Curb ON New Ones
He said "if a new bottle club
was to spring up this summer,
there is nothing VIC could do
about it" unless legislative steps
are taken now to prohibit it.
Mr.. Hardy said he knew of
only two places using the bottle
club method now. Burning Tree
Club and the Silver Spring Elks
Lodge, but he said the latter
would not be affected by the
anti-bottle club legislation.
Burning Tree Club, he said,
would have to obtain a liquor
license like other county coun-
try clubs.
He said the view that bottle
clubs should be outlawed also
was shared by Delegate Barbee,

about the highway plan.
They both were concerned
yesterday about what impact
the corridor route would have
if approved now, on future de-
velopments and on the county's
tax base.
Mrs. Werner expressed fear
1t might cause the area to de-
teriorate If land is reserved
for future highway use and the
county barred from issuing new
building permits.
Mrs. Werner also said she
is concerned because the Dis
trict Of Columbia has not yet
given any indication on
whether it would continue the
highway at the District line.
Further, she said, there has
been no word from the Mary
land State Roads Commission
concerning funds being made
available for the corridor.
Hearing to Be Saturday
1T doesn't exist as far as
the State Roads Commission
is concerned" Mr.. Werner said

starts at 8 am, will be before

Civil Defense Director Sherley
Ewing about the question Of
evacuation versus shelters If
the event Of nuclear attack.
There was still no agreement
on that, although Mr.. Ewing
once more appealed to the
council not to abandon The
evacuation plan. Instead, hi
asked the council to let Fedora
authorities make the final de-
cision as to which is better
for Montgomery County.
The council. however, left
open the question.
Mrs. Werner said there wa

She said county thoroughfares
were not even able to cope with
daily commuter traffic.
You should come here be-
tween five and six o'clock each
day" she added. Its impos-
Slble to move"
Denies "Feud" Exists
Mr.. Ewing, who has been at
odds with the county since
December when the county's
civil defense advisory board
called for a shelter program
instead Of the evacuation plan,
denied there was any "feud"
between State and county civil
defense personnel.
The council earlier heard
arguments for closing old Gar
rett Park road from the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad to Viers
Mill Village and Randolph
Hills subdivision.
/ It deferred decision but
agreed on two points; that
most persons want the road
abandoned because of the haz-
ardouS railroad grade crossing
at Garrett Park and that some
new route is needed to provide
access to Randolph Hills from

Last Thursday, the board
voted, with the some 4 to 3
alignment. for a budget which
provided higher teacher salar-
les than those recommended
by Supt. Irving Schmitt but
with some personnel posts elm
mated. These were a psycholo-
gist, a remedial reading teacher,
an instructor for retarded chill
dren, two librarians. an audio-
visual instructor. two physical
education teachers and a new
cook and four ianitors.
A student demonstration, fol-
lowed by special school board
meeting to investigate the stu
dents antics, was touched of
by the budget action.
One of the leaders Of the con-
sentative school board bloc, MIR
Gibson, said the classroom
teacher is the key to a good
school system in the fundamen-
tails Of education.
Against FrillS
Mr.. Gibson, who has de-
scribed himself as anti
progressive education, said the
city cannot afford "frills" in
the school system and that
/ they are not needed anyway.
In commenting on the budget
vote by the four conservatives
/ Mr.. Acosta said he could not see
| the logic of putting such en-
phasis on classroom teachers
while eliminating the teacher
aids WHICH the teachers say are
important"
He added that the use of the
term 'frills" by the conServa-
tives is a password and not q
school word. The basic issue tt
the conservative element may
be the three RS versus progress
sive education, he said, "hut
economy always conveniently
overlaps."
