Precedent Due
InInfeuration

CHICAGO, Jan. 1 CAP) "A
Federal Judge yesterday heard
complex arguments In a prece-
dent-setting lawsuit which pits
the fashionable all-white sub
urb of Deerfleld against a hous-
ing development firm which
wants to start integration.
At the end of a United States
District Court session, Judge
Joseph Sam Perry said he will
rule next Wednesday on Deer
fields argument that the Fed
eral court has no jurisdiction
in the dispute.
The plaintiff, which seeks
$500 damages from village
trustees and Park Board mem
bers, is Progress Development
Corp. The firm plans to build
81 houses in the $4,000 price
class and to offer 10 or IL Of
them for sale to Negroes.
The corporation also seeks
an Injunction to prevent action
by the officials which would
thwart the development plan.
Attorney Lewis Clarke, rep
resenting the Park Board, as
serted that the District Court
should hold itself without
proper jurisdiction because a
condemnation action to pur-
chase the developers Deerfield
land for park use is pending
IN Lake County Circuit Court.
Judge Perry said he was not
convinced that Federal juris-
diction should be barred by
the State court action.
THE only damage that can
be recovered in condemnation
proceedings Is the value Of
the property" he saio. "rhry
(the developers) allege that
there is a loss over and above
that. This is the heart Of the
complaint"
Judge Perry dismissed Mr..
Clarke's argument that a corp
grafton has no rights to re-
covery under civil rights law.
There is no question that
a corporation has the same
rights as a person. I think the
law is very clear on that"

Speiser refused to identify
his caller.
Ryan said the investigation
is based on two laws passed by
Congress in 1870. One of the
statutes, he explained, affects
two or more persons who con-
spire to deprive a citizen of his
constitutional rights. Convic-
ton carries a prison sentence
up to five years, or a $4,000
fine, or both.
The other statute involves
anyone under the law who de-
prives a citizen of equal pro-
lection of the law. 1t carries a
prison sentence of up to one
year or a $1,000 fine, or both.
Ryan emphasized the laws
have nothing to do with color.
He added he didn't know Smith
was Negro when he requested
the investigation.
If there is sufficient evidence,
he said, the case would be
brought before Federal grand
jury.

The recommendations were
contained In a 55.page report Of
the County's Financial Advisory
Committee charged last Spring
with finding new sources Of
revenue.
Major recommendation of the
committee was that the county
should ,de-emphasize its reli-
ance on personal property taxes
and tprn irfsead to a trend OF
tipping The county's real
wealth." personal income.
Most of the committees pro-
posals would require permission
of the Maryland General Assem-
bly,. Previous effortsS to get the
State to yield some of its broad
taxing powers have been not
ably unsuccessful. ~. &
Looking ahead, the committee
foresaw a county budget by
1865 of approximately 500 mil
lion. This could result in a
doubling of the present county
tax rate of $2.48 unless sub.
stantial new sources of revenue
are found, the committee
warned.
Besides Fauver, the study
group included Walter r. Gard
ner, Leonard H. Hoyle, Warren

Farm Tax Law Axed,
Lee Seeks New One

A substitute bill for the
Maryland Farm Assessment
Act, held unconstitutional
late Tuesday by the Mary
land Court of Appeals, will
be pressed by Blair Lee III,
chairman of the Montgomery
County Delegation to the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Lee, sponsor Of the original
bill that provided lower assess
ments for farmland under ac'
tive cultivation In fringe"
rural-metropolitan areas, said
he will try to get an emer.
gency bill before the Legisla.
ture that conyenes February 3.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for
the county's assessment divi'
sion, said he doubted that the
courts decision will affect 1860
assessments because Of the lit
tie time left for reassessments.
II will definitely affect next fis'
cal years budget, however, he
commented.
Intent OF the assessment bill,
Lee explained, was to allow
cultivated farmland to be as.
sessed for its worth as farm
land, rather than for its mark
ct value.
Albert w. Ward, director Of
the State Department OF As.
sessments and Taxation, said
that farmland in deep, rural

to 500 an acre. ut wouldn't

metropolitan areas as a result
of the Courts decision.
Lee pointed out that the Bill
"got tremendous support from
both Houses of the legislature
and was voted into law in 1856
over Governor McKeldin's
veto"
In holding the law to be UNI
constitutional, the Court Of APP
peals found that it failed to
meet two requirements Of a
valid tax exemption: Reason
ableness and public purpose"
A dissenting opinion was
filed by Judge Stedman Pres
colt. of Montgomery County,
who said, ut Is difficult for
me to conceive how a statute
that affects so vital part Of
the States economy as its
agricultural industry can
be divorced from the States
public interest and public
policy"
