City Chamber
Asks POS
Growth Plans

The Rockville Chamber Of
Commerce has asked the Post
Office Department for informa.
ton regarding any plans the de.
partment has for expanding pos
tai facilities in Rockville.
In q letter to the regional au-
thorities and with unanimous
approval of the Board of Direc.
tors, Chamber President w.
Lewis Brooks pointed out that
a recent transportation survey
sees tremendous subj r b a n
growth within the next few
years, of which 80 per cent will
occur within the delivery limits
of the Rockville Post Office.
Another factor motivating the
inquiry was the ever increasing
work load of the present postal
facility, which in the last two
years has shown 30 per cent
increase in receipts and 25 per
cent increase in volume of mail.

to Joseph A. Sickles, Torcaso's
attorney.
Article Six declares that "no
religious test shall ever be re.
quired as a qualification to any
Office or public trust under the
United States"
The First Amendment pro-
hibits Congress from making
any law that would prohibit the
free exercise of religion. The
Fourteenth Amendment, by Su.
preme Court Interpretation, ex-
tends the First Amendment priv
ileges to the various states.
Sickles said privately that the
First Amendment has been in
terpreted as extending total
freedom of religion, subject only
to limitations of the public
safety and welfare"
The clerks office was upheld
in a legal opinion handed down
last month by the state attor
ney general, who said the decla-
ration of belief in God is in &C.
cord with the Maryland State
Constitution.
Torcaso has stated he intends
to carry his appeal all the way
to the U. S. Supreme Court if
he is baked in the lower courts.

Torcaso Goes to Court
In Defense of Unbelief

The hassle over a Wheat
on mans lack of belief in
God is now before the Mont
gomery County Circuit
Court.
Attorneys for Roy r. Torcaso
who was refused a notary pub
lies commission because he re
fused to declare his belief in
God, has filed for a writ
Of mandamus against Circuit
Court Clerk Clayton K. Watkins
The petition maintains that
Watkins refusal to grant the
commission violates the consti
tuition of both the State OF
Maryland and of the United
States.
1t asks the court to direct
Watkins to administer the oath
to Torcaso and grant him the
notary public's commission.
TOrcasO's appointment orig.
inally had been approved by
State Sen. Edward S. North
rop, Montgomery County
Democrat, and by Governor
Willard j. Tawes. But he was
turned down last June rs by
Eleanor Campbell, Watkins
deputy, when he baked at de.
claring his belief i'm the exis.
tence of God.
Specifically, the clerks action
violates Article Six and the First
and Fourteenth Amendments OF
the U. S. Constitution. according

One hundred scientists, wild

planning a seven-day invasion
Of Deep Creek Lake, Md, next

z Polio Cases in State,
None in Montgomery

Although seven cases Of para.
lytic polio have been reported
throughout Maryland this year,
none have been fatal and none
have been discovered in Mont.

Montgomery County listed
one case of polio last year while
the state as a whole noted nine.
These totals contrast sharply
with 1855 when SO cases were
found in the State.

GIN to Build
New Line of
Locomotives

NEW YORK. May IL tAP).
General Motors Corp. yes
terday said it will begin pro-
ducing during the next several
months two series of locomo-
tiveS designed to save millions
Of dollars annually.
The company's electro-motive
division. which will build the
locomotives, feels the new Sc
ries is the most important con-
tribution to railroad progress
since the company introduced a
freight locomotive Immediately
after World War II.
Five road locomotives are in
volved in the two series.
Three of the locomotives will
reduce required scheduled
maintenance by as much as so
per cent, give important i'm
provement in fuel economy. in
crease reliability on the road
and extend life of major COM
ponents, the company said.
Primary application of the
other two locomotives, the COM
pany said, will be on those
railroads which desire to oper-
ate present trains on faster
schedules or haul the same ton
nages on present schedules with
fewer locomotive units"
Nelson Dezendorf, general
manager of electro-motive divi-
sion, said, "the improvements
offer enormous opportunities
for savings because we have de-
signed them not only to go into
these new production models,
but also so that they can be
incorporated in most of the
General Motors road locomo-
tives now in service.
THE thousands of older road
locomotives that will reach the
point Of consideration for
major overhaul or retirement
in this and the next few years
all can be upgraded to the
equivalent of our new models
with these improvements"
