Alabama State Police said
Tuesday that no charges will
be placed as a result of the

Fire that apparently start
ed in a cracked chimney flue
Monday threatened the farm
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd

wife and four of her six chill
dren waited outside the house.
The other two children were
away from home at the time.
Firemen found flames from

UCF Drive
Way Under
Its Quota

The United Givers Fund
winds up its Montgomery
County campaign today,
critically short of its $780,
200 goal.
Mrs. Percy w. Phillips, chair
man of the Montgomery County
drive, said that as of noon yes.
terday a total of $77,534 in cash
and pledges had been collected.
This is only SIS per cent of the
quota for the county.
Mrs. Phillips said she believed
there were two principal reasons
for the low total. She said that
many Montgomery County resi-.
dents work in Washington and
had made their contributions at
their jobs. But she also said
that the response by many bust
nessmen in Montgomery County
had been extremely disappoint-
ing.
Mrs. Phillips said that this
year, solicitors had concentrated
their efforts on contracting all of
the businesses in the county,
rather than on a door-to-door
canvass of residences.
But she said that many of
the women doing the soliciting
had received only rudeness from
some owners and managers of
businesses in the county.
She pointed out that on the
other hand many businessmen
had been extremely kind and
cooperative. She said that gen.
orally it was the smaller bust.
nesses that refused to make any
contribution.
Mrs. Phillips said that there
is actually more money spent
in Montgomery County by the
UGF than is collected here. She
said that this is partly because
many county residents make
their contributions in Washing
ton at their jobs, but also be-
cause UGF agencies here take
care of the 'in-betweens," fam.
lilies who are not poor enough to
qualify for welfare, but not
wealthy enough to handle sudden
disastrous expenses.
For example, a family in the
middle.income group could not
qualify for admission to county
hospital, but might require med.
ical care costing several thou
sand dollars, more than they
could raise. In such circum.
stances, it is up to private as
sistance agencies to see that
the family gets the necessary
medical care.

TOrcasO
Oath Case
Is Heard

The first step in what may
prove to be a long journey
up to the U. S. Supreme
Court was taken this week
by Roy R. Torcaso, self-pro-
fessed unbeliever in God,
who has been denied a
notary public's license.
Torcaso, represented by a bat.
terry of five lawyers, appeared
in Montgomery County Circuit
Court Tuesday in an effort to
force Maryland to grant him a
license in spite of his disbelief
in God.
Judge Ralph G. Shure heard
Torcaso's lawyers claim denial
of a license to Torcaso was UNI
constitutional, Federally and at
the State level. He also heard
Deputy Attorney General Sted-
man Prescott, jr., defend the
States denial on legal prece.
dents.
The case was held open 10
more days. Leo Pfeffer, attor-
ney, represented Torcaso on be-
half of the American Jewish
Congress.
Pfeffer is associate general
counsel for apo and is regard
ed as a leading scholar in the
study of separation of church
and state. He authored the
work, Church, State and Free
DOM"
Torasco also was represented
by brothers Joseph and Carlton
Sickles, Sanford H. Bolz (APC),
and Laurence Speiser, counsel
for the American Civil Liberties
Union.
Prescott stood firm on his be-
lief that position as a notary
in Maryland is a privilege, not
a matter of right. Therefore,
he said, Torcaso's constitutional
rights were not usurped.
He also stressed language in
Maryland's Declaratio of
Rights that says seekers of
office and public trust shall not
be required to meet a religious
test, g. other than a decla-
ration of belief in the existence
of God"
Joseph Sickles, however, con-
tended that since the US. Con.
stitution says no religious test
shall be required to any office

second year.
Albert A. Gibson, principal OF
West Rock ville Elementary
School, said that two sixth-grade
classes at his school are seeing
all of the five weekly TV broad
casts. Gibson said that when the
program was started last year il
was shown to- fifth-grade pupils,
and is being continued this year
with the same pupils now in
sixth grade.
The lessons are broadcast
Monday through Friday from
1880 am. till II noon. Tuesday
and Thursday are repeats of the
Monday and Wednesday science
lessons, and on Fridays special
program is presented on more
general topics.
The Friday program this week
will show school children from

ments and projects they have
conducted In conjunction with
the televisiOn lessons.
Gibson said that although the
program of lessons is not 100
per cent compatible" with the
schools curriculum, it is on the
whole considered satisfactory
and they have ordered another
TV receiver for use of the pres,
ent fifth grade.
Gibson said that furnishing
the Tv receiving sets Is a joint
project of the Board OF Educa-
ton and the P-TAs. Cost Of
each set is 1919, OF which the
Board pays one-third and the
P-TA pays two-thirds.
In addition to paying part Of
the cost of the sets themselves,
Montgomery County Is contrib.

in support Of the program. In
the first year, participating
school systems made no con-
tributions to the program, &C.

Mrs. Edmund D. Campbell,
president of GWETA said the
object of the educational TV pro-
gram is to serve as a supple
ment to regular classes con-
Quoted by teachers. She said it is
not intended to replace teachers.
Mrs. Ca mpbell said that
GWETA provides the program,
but does not try to tell the
schools how it should be used.
All questions of policy are left
up to the individual school sys-
TENS.
The lessons are conducted by
Darrell Drummond, a regular
elementary school teacher. For
the first year, the Tuesday and
Thursday lessons were repeated
live, but this year they have
been simply copied on video

Mrs. Campbell pointed out

Still unsettled, WSSC Treas.
urer James T. Lynch said, is the
question of whether the 1925
monthly refuse charge should be
Increased next year. The results
of a current study of the subject
won't be known until February
But the water and sewer rates
of 25 cents and 16 cents, respec-
lively, for each 1000 gallons of
water used, should not be liked,
Lynch urged.
A public hearing on the budget
proposal was set for December
Is at 8 pm. in the WSSC's meet
ing room, 4O17 Hamilton ST.,
Hyattsville.
Lynch said the budget will
probably necessitate selling $40
worth of bonds early next year.
This would increase the WSSCs
Indebtedness to about sips mil
lion, he said.
Included in the budget are
major sewerage and water sys-
tenn projects for the coming
year. A good portion of the $12
million first phase of the Com
missions Potomac Water Filtra-
ton Plant at Watts Branch is
expected to be built next year.
Most of the 81 MILAN increase
over the current budget wound
be in four categories:
. About $1.8 million increase
in capital projects-from $14
million to $15.8 million.
. An increase of $650,000 for

Arson St. Foes
Win Long Fight
New Building
To Go Up at
Sligo & Grove

ly forced the County Coun-
Gil to select a site it didn't
want for a new county serv-
ice building this week.
New site for the Silver Spring
building will be on Sligo ave.,
East of Fenton ST, near Grove
St, in "blighted" Southern Silver
Spring.
The 4.5-acre site and building
will replace the building and all
the services now located at the
old Silver Spring county build
ing near Georgia ave., and Coles
vile I'd.
Less than the approximately
100000 set aside for it will be
spent on the new building--de-
pending on the cost of land, ac-
cording to Melvin L. Reese,
County Manager.
The county has holdings on
4O,27O square feet OF the tract.
The rest was ordered to condem-
nation Tuesday. An architect to
design the building will be Sc
lected this week, Reese said.
Thus the end came for a per-
sistent effort by the County to
build at a site on Arson st.,
flanked by First and Second
ayes. Only last August IL, after
two heated public hearings, the
Council decided to stick with
Arson St, instead Of the Sligo.
Grove site--one mile away.
But a last-ditch legal move by
Arson ST., residents forced the
County to readvertise for more
public hearings on the issue and
set aside their earlier decision.
Two more stormy hearings fol-
lowed, capped by Tuesdays
capitulation.
Selection OF a site for the
building had tough shedding.
Other sites considered were
behind the newish Silver Spring
library on Colesville rd., and
Alton pkwy. In each case citizens
argued that criminals, sirens,
and lowered land values would
ruin the respective neighbor-
hoods. No one said that about
Sligo-Grove.
But the Council and Reese did
say that location 50 far South
might prove unavoidable. They
as the Silver Spring
Board of Trade suggested, that
q county building would elevate
the surroundings at Sligo-Grove.
Tuesdays vote to go ahead
with the latter site was opposed
by Councilmen David L. Cahoon
and B. Houston McCeney. They
argued that the Arson ST., area
In the future will become COM
mericalized as proposed In the
Silver Spring master plan while
Silver Spring will be-
come just another commercial
slum.
Principal past proponents for
the Sligo-Grove site were Coun-
William F. Hickey and
Jerry T. Williams.
Council president Mrs. Stella
B. Werner and colleague Stanley
B. Frosh could not be pinned
down 100 per cent to either site,
Mrs. Werner gave the
impression of favoring Arson st.
Both voted against Arson ST..
Grover X. Walker, seventh
Councilman, was the real swing
man. The August public hear
Ing on Arson ST., was hopelessly
deadlocked at 3.3 (Mrs. Werner
was ABSENT until Walker
switched in favor OF buying the
Arson ST., tract. Walker sided
with Arson ST., Tuesday.
