Hardy explained that the pur.
pose of bond is to see that a
person will appear for trial
after his arrest. In cases
where the person jumps bail,
the bail is then forfeited. The
Governor can then return the
forfeited bail to the bondsmen
at his discretion.
The purpose of the bail, he
noted, is not to punish the
bondsman whose client has
jumped, but as a service to a

Mantle Signs
For Increase
To $4,000

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb.
81 (AP).-Mickey Mantle, the
Yankees outflelder, finally came
to terms on a contract today
which gave him an estimated
raiseof $4,000 to $4,000 for the
1859 season.
Virgil Trucks, the Yankees
relief pitcher, also signed today
for a reported $4,000. Trucks,
who came to the Yankees in a
deal with the Athletics last
June, had a % record last
season. He and Mantle were the
last of the Yankees unsigned.
Mantle. the No. l power
man of the world champions,
flew to the Yankee training
camp from Dallas last night
after previous negotiations had
failed to produce an agreement.
II am satisfied" Mantle said
after a conference with George
Weiss, Yankees general man

/ Weiss had sent Mantle a
contract offering $65, 1000. There
were reports it contained a
clause asking the outf1elder to
agree to certain conduct con-

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 81
Dan Dobbek turned down
offers from the Orioles and
Yankees to sign with the
Senators on the assumption
that advancement to the ma
iorS would be more rapid, It's
the clubs chief selling weapon
to youngsters and it will be a
distinct disappointment to his
bosses if Dan doesn't prove
the point.
Dan represents something
special to the Senators brass.
He's the only member of their

sufficiently important to ship
to Florida seven weeks ago to
prepare himself for the big

At a cost of about $500,
Dobbek was dispatched to Jack

Bright SaYs-
Don't Notify
Citizens of
.Zoning Pleas

The county's practice of mail
ing notices of pending zoning
appeals to citizens associations
and neighborhood groups has
"p olitic a l" implications and
ought to be stopped, Board of
Appeals head Edwin L. Bright
said last week.
Instead, only owners of prop
erty adjoining and confronting
tracts under appeal should be
notified, he said. Organized
public pressure and political per-
suasion engendered at mass zon-
ing meetings has resulted in the
reversal of some coming deci-
sions by courts, Bright said.
"a single, dissatisfied person
coming in alone would get as
much attention (from the
BOard) as a room full of peo-
ple," Bright commented.
But he added that the Coun-
ty Council ''has gone along with
it for years, so what can l do?"
His remarks to a reporter
came before he presented the

to drive to the "Gaslight Club"
in downtown Washington. He
said he had three and possibly
four more bourbon and waters
there before leaving when the
establishment closed at 2 am.
The prosecutor said, however,
that DIR. Hunter had reported to
him that the alcoholic content
of the specimen was % per
cent. Under a new Maryland
law, a driver with an alcoholic
content of 20 or greater in his
urine is presumed to be under
the influence.
Prosecutor McAuliffe told
the court that DR.. Oscar B.
Hunter, jr, pathologist, who
tested a urine specimen given
to police that night by the de-
PENDANT, could not appear to
testify through "a mistake on
his calendar" He promised,
however, he could appear this

Boards recommendations on

Bright privately let it be known
that he did not agree, the Board
gave its approval of delegating
authority to make minor, spe-
cial exception coming decisions
to Erwin w. Bucklin, director
of the Department of Inspec-
tons and Licenses.
Bright said he would rather
see a special zoning examiner
do the job, because the quasi
judicial functions of zoning
might spill over into the ad-

the County government.
Also, he said, an examiner
"would be less likely to be ac-

The County will move swiftly
to protect judges, States Attor-
neys and juries from courtroom
violence.
States Attorney Leonard T.
Hardy pointed out this week
during a courtroom melee two
weeks ago, when an accused
rapist was found guilty and
went berserk, he could easily
have drawn a gun or a knife
and attacked anyone in close
range.
He revealed that it had been
the practice of Sheriffs depu-
ties for years to accompany
prisoners to the courts public
lavatories or into a hallway for
a smoke during court recesses.
The accused rapist talked
with friends in a Circuit Court
hall during a recess of his trial.
"Any one of them could have
slipped him a gun or a knife
and it would have been an easy
thing for him to have killed
someone" Hardy said.
This has been going on for
years. I don't think we ought
to take potentially dangerous
prisoners into hallway mobs,"
Hardy said. He proposed that
a special room for prisoners be
set aside.
He acknowledged that depu-
ties escort many prisoners
without manacles-through a
public corridor on the way to
court.
