What! Keep Public
Business in Public?
Viewpoints

There has been some criticism of a county
official who dared to suggest that public bust
ness should be conducted in public.
Perish the thought
Doesn't the gentleman know that it's so
much more comfortable to conduct public
business in private? Besides, if everything
is up on top of the table, the citizens become
better informed, and once informed, they be-
come more of a nuisance.
Also, when everything is done in public,
there are reporters questions to answer and,
sometimes, citizen finds out about some
thing prematurely, maybe he even gets
wrong impression? And we wouldn't want
that to happen, would we?
The official who foolishly thinks that
government activities should be conducted
out in the open is William A. Quinlan. He
is the Board of Appeals member who made
headlines when he talked about the high
county official" discussing pending case in
private with the board when he (Quinlan)
thought it should have been discussed in pub
lie, or in writing not in private meeting.
Quinlan said he was making the whole
matter public in line with resolution adopt
ed by his board on February 16. Among other
things, that resolution states:
THE board will consider and decide each
case on a basis of the facts which are received
fairly and openly at public hearing where all
interested persons are given a reasonable
opportunity to hear and be heard"
Is that bad?
The resolution then goes on: Its (the

County Comment
Case Of Teacher
Not Battling One

If we learn only one thing from the case
of the Newport Junior High School teacher
who is accused of beating 14year-old stu
dent it will be this: taking your troubles to
court can sometimes create more problems
than it solves.
For four long hours Monday morning,
the teacher and the boys family washed their
dirty linen in public. The linen, as it turned
out, was only slightly soiled. But the suds
threaten to smother all concerned.
Consider the cast in this over-acted court
room drama:
Robert G. Sutton is a sturdy young fellow
who, at 100 pounds was known as the
midget" in the burly line of George Wash
ington Universitys 1857 Sun Bowl team. New
to teaching this year. he has drawn praise
from his superiors as a physical education
teacher of considerable promise. ("The young.
sters seem to flock around him." said "Cres"
Bride, his supervisor and a long time leading
citizen of the county)
Tommy Jackson is 14-year-old student
at Newport and the son of a veteran county
police officer, Paul Jackson. Several of
Tommys neighbors took the stand Monday
to affirm that he is livery good boy a
dependable performer of odd jobs, and or.
dinarily quite respectful to his elders.
Now consider the plot, which Is pretty
thin Zone observer called it "the type of thing
that will happen wherever there are peopIe"):
Tommy, it seems, is enough of an average
boy to rebel occasionally against authority.
Sutton, by the same token, is enough of a
man of action to react spontaneously if

An Opinion
COP Wheels Ready
For a 60 Round
An Opinion

Republican leaders of Maryland are
about to bust out all over. Bigwigs of the
COP are meeting tonight in Baltimore with
hopes of trying to avert wholesale party
splatter
Attending this pow wow will be the top
brass of all factions of the Maryland Grand
Old Party. 1t is a meeting prior to larger
gathering of all chairmen of Republican State
Central Committees of the counties in the
State.
D. Eldred Rhinehart, chairman of the
Maryland Republican State Central Commit
tee, will gather about him for hot discussion
such party luminaries as former Governor
Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, National Com
mitteeman; u. S. Senators ]. Glenn Beall and
John Marshall Butler; former COP Congress
man James P. Devereux who was also the
unsuccessful candidate for Governor; former
Congressman Dewitt S. Hyde and Ted Miller;
Mrs. Robert o. Bonnell, National Committee
woman, and Fife Symington, defeated candi

old district.
Thoughts concerning the course of action
TO be taken by the Republicans in this State
run In about six or seven channels. Almost
every important State Republican leader has
different idea of what should be done to
win elections.
McKeldin has his own formula for vic
tory. First, he is interested in McKeldin.
Next, he likes the Democrats to divide into
at least two important factions. Then he
likes to wheel and deal. But many observers
believe his formula has worn thin. His crush

Mayor of Baltimore would have thrown q

somewhat crudely, when he is ruffled.
On May II, in Sutton's gym class,
Tommy exercised his God-given right to defy
teachers orders. Sutton, angered, pushed
Tommy to sitting position; kicked or nudged

later struck him on the mouth with the back
of his hand. (Sutton claims he merely in

The teacher was Immediately contrite,

called Tommy's parents and repeated his
apologies to them.
Officer Jackson contends - and many
will agree with him - that such action by
a teacher, no matter what the provocation
is inexcusable. For the good of the school
system, he felt, teachers who strike children
in anger should be punished legally. So he
filed complaint of assault and battery, and
Mondays trial was the result.

criminal action. Sutton, for single error Of
judgment possibly traceable to the rashness
OF youth, has seen his entire career put in
jeopardy.
But perhaps it is unseemly of us to men,
ton all this. The incident has, after all,
provided some right readable copy.

Horrors!
No one would dare, of course, to attempt
to influence judge or jury (outside of open
COURT in case pending before it. Why?
There could be little matter of contempt Of
court that people have been known to go to
Jail for.
Board member Quinlan has pointed out
that Maryland courts have held that the

The main point is that there is an almost

This, we are sure, is what the founding

the line some public officials have become
little confused. They'd rather do public bust
