vided for appointments Of at
torneys from private practice
If necessary. 1t also included
a requirement that only indi-
gents who are unable to pay
a modest attorneys fee" be
eligible.
The bar has asked for such a
definition of indigency to avoid
providing free legal aid for de-
PENDANTS who could pay for it.
The bill provides for an agency
director at S17.500 a year. APP
pointed by a board Of trustees
which in turn would be APP
pointed by a panel of local
JUDGES.
The director would appoint
attorneys as needed to handle
the INDECENT cases. He also
would be allowed to hire vol
unteer attorneys for individual
cases and reimburse them for
expenses plus payments up to
$50 a month.
Defense Investigators
The bill also includes a pro-
vision for the hiring of staff
members who could possibly be
used as investigators for the
defense cases.
No cost estimate is included
in the bill. 1t proposes that 60
per cent be covered by the Dis
trict and the rest by the Fed
eral Government. Previous es-
Inmates for a public defender
system here have exceeded 81
million a year.
There has been increasing
concern voiced by lawyers,
| judges and laymen for some
sort of legal aid system. 1t has
been estimated that 5000 in
digents pass through the Mu-
nicipal Courts criminal division
every year. Attorneys who are
appointed without compensa-
ton to represent indigents in
District Court have been over
burdened with time consuming
cases.

Jessups Keeps Lights On, Dogs Out
In Anxiety Over Potuxent Fugitives
BY GILBERT GIAIBLE
star star writer

Jessups. Md. had the filters
yesterday.
It wasn't panic and II wasn't
terror. But the air was filled
with an anxiety that comes
after spending a night with the
lights on and the dog put out
TO bark at an unfamiliar sound.
"At first we were real scared"
says a housewife. I'VE saw
so many State troopers and SOL
diers we knew it was something
serious"
That was the initial fear sun
day evening when word was
broadcast that "a mentally de-
fective and dangerous criminals
were loose from the Patuxent
Institute on Route IT'S.
The people Of Jessups aren't
accustomed to feeling fear when
there's q jail break-it happens
so frequently. they say, they're
almost immune to 1t.
on Route ITS there are be-
sides the Patuxent Institute, the
Maryland House of Corrections
and a WON ems State re-
formatory.
Unity for Safety
State Trooper Robert Scruggs
lives on Route ITS with his wife
and three young children. His
parents live next door.
Usually when there's just q
single break and I'm called out
to comb the woods, my wife
stays home and keeps the door
locked" the trooper said. But
not this time. ! moved her and
the kids over with my folks.
They spent the night there"
All the outside lights we're
turned on at the Scruggs'
homes and a neighbor put his
on, too. cit was like daylight
out there" the trooper said.
"You wouldn't think any nor
NAL kind of prisoner would
want to come anywhere near
all that light"
But they did. The neighbor
spotted i've of the escapes
tinkering with Trooper
Scruggs' private car. They
couldn't get it started and
darted into the fields nearby
when the neighbor opened his
door.
Montevideo Court is a clus-
ter Of new houses behind
Route IT'S. Not far away is a
railway line heading for Bal
timore. Backed up against the
homes are thick dark woods
that run up to the backyard
Of the Patuxent Institute not
more than a mile away.
Blazing Protection
The Montevideo section was
one Of the best protected and
most thoroughly searched areas
in Jessups.
Troopers lined their cruis-
ers along Montevideo road and
turned their headlights on for
most of the night. If the
escapes were to push through
the woods, they would have
had to cross the road to reach
the rail line. Some were picked
UP later not far away.
Behind the houses soldiers
with large search beams
mounted on trucks pierced the
gloomy wood.
Mrs. Melvin Howard said her
three young boys, aged IL, 8
and Z. refused to sleep in their
upstairs bedroom. The entire
family remained on the first
floor with a teen-age sister
forced to sleep on the couch.

The
Rambler
Likes
The Machine
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The other day-perhaps q
fortnight ago--Robert Lewis,
our distinguished real estate
editor. stopped by this desk.
Distinguished is used adj
visedly because Mr.. Lewis has
won Just about every prize
the industry-the homebuild-
ing industry = has offered
journalists who encourage
home ownership. and he lives
in a Washington apartment.
He does own a stone house
In York County, Pa. Bought
II several years ago. Built in
the l700s, 1t has little to do
with the new construction he
Is fostering.
"You have been In your
new house two years." he
said. why don't you write
a piece about it for our real
estate section?"
The Rambler thought 1t
over and said, mo"
It seemed too negative.
Perhaps he never should
have bought a house. Mem
DRY seems to suggest that he
was much happier IS years
ago living in an apartment.
But, then again, he was is
years younger.
Now this new house is a
split-level. That means three
stair cases, none over seven
steps.

IT MEANS CONSIDER

1T MEANS CONSIDER
ABLE economy. 1t has more
floor space under less roof
over less basement than a
traditional house or one of
those one-story affairs, a
rambler or a ranch house
call it what you will.
But there is one big catch.
A Split-level house is a sound
well. That would have been
q catch back in the days be-
fore World War I, when
daughter was practicing on
the piano.
That's right. Those pioneers
Of this century who pur-
chased an upright or some
times a grand and arranged
for piano lessons we're lucky.
They had doors between
floors, or even a den where
they could smoke cigars
somewhat removed from es-
says at Hearts and Flowers
or Whats the Matter With
Father? He's All Right"
In a split-level there is no
sanctuary from TV and its
Westernssthe American NOR
atty plays as Life recently
called them. You know, the
good little man doesn't want
to draw a gun, but just isn't
going to be run out of town
by the big bad man and
finally meets him in front OF
the Silver Dollar Saloon.
Fascinating stuff! You
don't want to listen, but you
can't read, you can't think.
you can't work as you are
drawn into the vortex of the
melodrama.
Two years in this new
house! Some minor flaws
have developed. There are
two or three hairline cracks
in the plaster of the wall.
The house is settling. The
refrigerator seems about to
fall on its face and the floor
in front of the kitchen sink
has a way of creaking at
each tread.
