No Comment by Chase
Seymour M. Chase, chair
man of the local Draft Steven
son Committee, said that he
could make no immediate COM
ment since he had not seen the
text of the boards decision.
However, Mr.. Chase had pre-
viously told the Board of Elec-
tionS that he believed placing
of a presidential preference
question on the ballot would
be illegal.
A subject of major impor-
tance to Mr.. Chase and his
committee, as sponsors of an
unwilling candidate, is wheth-
er the Board of Elections will
permit the name of a potential
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination to be
placed on the ballot without
his consent.
Ruling Later
Joseph Fairbanks, chairman
of the Board of Elections, said
the board will rule on this point
at a later date. The board
decided by a vote of 2 to last
Wednesday to permit the direct
preference voting, but the deci-
sion was not disclosed until
yesterday.
Mr.. Fairbanks dissented on
the grounds that he questioned
the legality of permitting this
type Of election.

GOODWILL GIFTS FROM ARLINGTON II
JuryAbsoIves
Needle Buyer

A citizens right to purchase
a hypodermic needle in a
drugstore. when no evidence
Of the use Of narcotics is pres
ent, was upheld yesterday by
Montgomery County's Circuit
Court jury.
Albert w. Lyon, 80, former
janitor Of Montgomery Knolls
Elementary School, silver
Spring, was acquitted Of
charges that he had in his
possession a needle and syringe
for the purpose of unlawfully
administering habit-forming
drugs"
Mr.. Lyon, who worked at the
school two years until his ar
rest September %, was found
not guilty after the jury, made
up of one woman and II men,
deliberated two hours.
Supt. of Schools C. Taylor
Whittier said school officials
will consider reinstating Lyon
if he requests it.
Lyon testified that he was a
reformed drug addict and had
served five years in Jail on an
earlier conviction. However,
he declared, he had not used
narcotics since 1852 and kept
the needle and syringe in the
custodian'S room at the school
because he wanted to illus
trate a book about drug addic-
ton, using the equipment as
a model.

Worked Extra

was very conscientious, a good
worker, well liked and honest"
came to work much earlier than
his scheduled 7::30 am. report
ing time and also worked on
week ends, when he was due to
be off.
An accomplished artist, he
copied sketches of school chill
dren from snapshots and also
maze drawings of television and
movie stars at pupils requests,
the school principal said.
Defense Attorney Herbert w.
Jorgensen pointed out there
was no evidence of the use or
presence of any drug, and that
"the mere possession of a hypo-
dermic needle would make any
citizen Of Maryland guilty un-
der the statute, If he simply
went into a drugstore and pur-
chased a needle"
Hiring Blasted
Assistant States Attorney
James S. McAuliffe, jr., in his
final argument for the prosecu-
ton, said:
II condemn the school board
of Montgomery County for
ever hiring a man if they knew,
as he testified, was a dope ad-
dict. I can't think of a place
where such a man could do
more harm than in a public
school,"
Last month, a report by a
Montgomery County grand jury
charged that persons with
unSavory background have been
employed in the County,
school system" and recon-
mended that school employees
be given a police check.

Veterans Get Idea
On Means Of Saving

VA suggested a means of saw
ing on insurance premiums for an
other type of policyholders. Vet
Grams who receive compensation
payments from VA may instruct
the agency to deduct the premiums
direct from compensation payments
If this is done. the veteran saves
the time and expense of drawing a
check OF money order and mailing
it to VA district office. He also
obviates the danger of missing a
premium payment and having his
policy lapse.
Veterans who are drawing retire
ment pay may similarly have the
branch Of the service with which
they are connected make out an
allotment from the retirement pay
to meet their GI insurance pre-
miums.
