For Big A Talk

LONDON, Feb. 20 (AP).-The
Russians today gave a chilly
reception to Western proposals
for a Big -Four foreign minis
tiers conference on Germany
but still left the door open to
direct negotiations.
An English-language COM
mentator on Moscow radio said
the Western notes, handed the
Kremlin Monday, do not con-
tain a single more or less con-
structive suggestion capable of
facilitating settlement Of ques-
tions either Of Berlin or of
Germany" ct all boils down
to the same invariable no the
West has been giving us all
the time" the broadcaster said.
The belief grew in the West
that Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev would press for Big -Four
summit talks-rather than a
foreign ministers meeting
when he receives British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan this
week end.
OFF to Moscow Tomorrow
With United States Secre-
tary of State Dulles ailing, the
suave, 64-year-old Briton APP
peared emerging as the CO.
ordinator of allied policy in
dealing with the Russians. He
told the House of Commons
last night that after his talks
with the Soviet leaders he
would visit Bonn and Paris and
perhaps Washington with a
view to formation of the West
ern allied policy"
Mr.. Macmillan leaves for
Moscow tomorrow to spend 10
days in Russia sounding out
Soviet leaders on possible
grounds for a compromise in
the cold war. He is especially
anxious to find out what West
ern concessions the Kremlin
is really angling for-without
making any commitments on
behalf of the allies.
I'VE must be firm but f1ex-
ible," he told Commons.
Mr.. Macmillan emphasized
that any Khrushchev proposal
for dispanding the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization is
out of the question.
No Firm Policy Set
Nothing must be done which
would result in the withdrawal
Iof American and Canadian
forces from the continent of
Europe, he said. Within
that, nothing ought to be ex-
cluded."
The Prime Minister empha-
sized that a firm allied policy
has not yet been formulated.
When it is, he said, great de-
ciSionS will have to be taken.
1--WE shall have to face in the
next period the supreme test
of direct negotiations with the
Soviet government. 1t is for
that-and it is a grim prospect
as well as an inspiring one
that we have to fit ourselves"
In Acapulco, White House
Press Secretary James Hagerty
declined to comment on the
possibility of Mr.. Macmillan
flying to Washington for West
ern strategy talks with Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
The United States, Britain
and France had suggested that
the Big Four foreign ministers
discuss the whole German
problem with representatives of
the pro-WeStern Bonn govern
ment and the Communist East
German regime sitting in for
consultation.

ton, was saddened and shocked
by the tragic accident that oc-
Cured last Thursday morning in
which seven children were killed
and others seriously injured when
school bus was strucl; by train
at the Loeb Lynn-Mt Lake Park
railroad crossing.
This unfortunate accident has
been thoroughly investigated by
the officers of the County, as
sisted by the Maryland State Po-
lice. The States Attorney will be
prepared to present to you the
results of this investigation and
you will hear the testimony of
wine whether or not there were
any violations of the criminal
statutes on the part of anyone that
caused the tragedy.
Most of the cases that will be
brought to your attention will have
been investigated by the law en-
forcement officers of the county.
The States Attorney will present
these cases to you and you will
hear the testimony of the witnesses
| that the State intends to uGe against
the accused. 1t is your duty to de-
eide if the charge is supported by
sufficient evidence to warrant the
finding of an indictment and that
the accused shall stand trial be-
fore a Petit Jury or the Court.
Your proceedings must be secret.
No disclosures of any kind are to
be made concerning your delibera-
tons or how individual members
of the jury voted with respect to
any charge considered by your
body, unless you are directed by
the Court to make such disclosures.
While testimony is being pro-
duced before you, the only persons
allowed in the Grand Jury Room
! besides your own members are the
States Attorney and the witnesses
testifying before you.
If an individual juror has knowl-
edge of the commission of crimi-
nal offense that is not brought to
your attention by the enforcement
officers, it is the duty of such
jurors to disclose such information.
Enforcement of the criminal laws
is extremely important and it is
encumbent upon the enforcement
| officers to ever be alert in bring
| ing to justice those guilty of violat
ing our criminal statutes and your
body plays an important part in
maintaining law and order in the
community.
Your body consists Of twenty
three (23) members, of which
twelve 12) constitutes quorum
and no indictment can be found by
you unless at least twelve q2) of
the members present concur there
in.
AS a result of recent enactments
of the legislature, the work of the
Grand Jury has been lessened con-
siderably. Under existing law, a
person charged with the commits
sion of a criminal oGfenSe may
waive his right to a trial by jury
and ask that the charge against him
be heard promptly by the Court.
In such cases, the States Attorney
prepares an information in writing
and the accused is brought before
the Court and his case disposed of
forthwith. This procedure has re-

In a criminal case, an accused
is presumed innocent until proven
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
and no one should be called upon
to answer an unfounded charge
You must bear in mind, however
that a Grand Jury is an accusing
body rather than a judicial tri-
bunai. It is not your function to
convict or acquit; you hear but
one side of the matter and that is
the States evidence. 1t is the func-
ton of the Petit Jury o. Court to
determine guilt or innocence after
a fair and impartial trial in which
the evidence of the State and the
accused has been presented.
1t is the duty and responsibility
of the County Commissioners OF
the County to see that the public
buildings owned by the county are
kept in proper repair and that
necessary Improvements are made
1t is the custom of the Grand Jury
to inspect these properties and
make such recommendations as
seem proper and desirable. You
will be furnished with a copy of
the Grand Jury report of the March
Term and you should investigate
to see that the recommendations
then made have been carried out
and if not, you will want to call
before your body the members of
the County Commissioners to as
certain why not.
The States Attorney the Sheriff,
and other enforcement Officers
will be available at all times dur
ing your deliberations to assist
you in the performance of your
duties.
You will now retire to the Grand
Jury Room where you will begin
your deliberations.

Our Town Where A Bow
Can't E ven Dream...

1t couldn't happen in America . :. surely not in
"our" town :. . but it did happen.
A short generation or two ago, a boy could take
his cane fishing pole and throw baited hook into
the nearby stream, and then lie back on the soft
bank and dream the long, long dreams.
He could dream BIG, because the sky, the river,
the countryside were al his.
He could walk with giant strides across the earth
of lesser mortals and carry banner of right and
truth and triumph over evil.
He could be Frank Merriwel or Tom Swift;
he could be Paul Bunyan or an Abraham Lincoln
-. But =. today-there are places in "our" town
where boy can't even dream He is surrounded
by the shattered embems of the town that became
city and the city that became metropolis
where there are no grassy fields !. no streams :.
and, often, no dreams
Dreams are woven of the fabric of ambition held
and patterned with bright thread of reality
both must be present in each generation of young
men.
The ambition is still there, but the reality is not
always bright thread. Too often it is CRASHES,
treeless neighborhood or noisy street corner;
raucous pool hall, an abandoned warehouse for
"club" meeting; friendess world of struggle,
and the cold indifference of poverty.
Meaningful reality can be supplied by you =.
through the UGF.
You can give boys the bright thread of reality
that gives direction to ambition . :. D.. substance to
dreams and costs so little.
The price is one gift divided among LAG agencies
that serve the community Help make our town
place where boys can still dream e. . and dreams
can still come true.

You must now develop the

you must lead a diamond to

his queen win the trick. He
therefore plays a low club and
you take the king.

it happens East does have to

If you had given him a

dropped the queen of clubs. For
example, If you refused the Sec

card the queen of clubs on the

first club to dummy's ace East
would play the queen at once.
Then West would win a club
trick and could defeat the con-
