That's when diplomacy is
needed. If a lawyer persists in
having his case assigned to a
certain Judge, the pleasant-man-
nered commissioner checks with
the judge before taking any
action.
1--WE are definitely not arbi-
trary in our dealings with at
torneys," Smith declared, add
ing that he has never received
any complaints from attorneys.
In all of this, he is assisted
by Mrs. Joan Cupo and Mrs.
Hazel Burns.
"They are very efficient" he
said. 1.-THE office just couldn't
run without them"
A native of Wilmington, Del,
Smith is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Baltimore. He attend
ed classes at night and worked
as an investigator for the
States Attorney in Dorchester
County during the day.
In the Navy
He piloted a Navy amphi-
bious craft during the war and
participated in the landings on
wv Jima and Okinawa.

Assignment Commissioner
Combines Tact, Accuracy

Before coming mere, he was
at various times, a State parole
officer, an alcohol tax enforce
ment officer, and a State iden-
titIcation expert. He and his
wife live at 14115 London Ia.
Rockville. They have a three
year-old daughter.
A major innovation which
Smith introduced in his office
is the preparation of daily trial
assignment sheets. These are
distributed each evening to ev-
eryone involved in the follow
ing days cases, including the
judges, sheriff, court clerk, jail
er and States attorney.
This gives them the time
and courtroom for each case so
that everyone knows exactly
where and when the various
cases are to be heard" he point
ed out.
Previously, all of the cases
were sent to one courtroom and
distributed from there. All of
the jurors also reported to the
same room and then sent to the
proper courts. AS a result, there
was lot of lost motion and
time in beginning the trials.
Although the workload on
the judges is constantly increas-
ing, the docket is virtually cur
rent.
This time last year." he said,
there was a backlog of close to
Is months in trying cases
ready for trial. Now, when a
case is ready, we can set a trial
date within six months"
Smith made it clear that this
condition is due to the "hard
work" of the judges.
His own working hours, too,
have multiplied. He frequently
works at night and practically
every weekend.
ITS a very demanding job"
he admitted, "but I find it ex-
tremely satisfying to see that
things are moving smoothly.
Besides, 1 couldn't ask for bet
ter employers"

according to c. Edwin Kline,
president. The property is being
purchased from Kay Bowling,

Citizens continues to rank as
Montgomery County's largest
financial institution, with re-
sources of over S34 million.
During the past II months, it
has enjoyed a growth of 209o,
and reserves have been In
creased to 80 of savings ac-
counts.
In November, 1859, the Asso-
citation purchased the assets OF
Montgomery Mutual Building
and Loan Association, of Ken
sington, which office is present
ly operated as branch. Other
offices are located in Rockville
and Damascus. The home office
is in Silver Spring.
Citizens now has more offices
for the convenience of its mem
bers than any other Association
in the State of Maryland. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kline, the branch
operations have accounted for
remarkable savings growth dur
ing the past year. The Associ-
alton is currently paying 40
annual dividend, compounded
quarterly, on savings which are
insured by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corp.

Combine the accuracy OF
a timekeeper with the tact
and patience of a diplomat
and you have the essential
ingredients for an assign
ment commissioners job.
At least, that's the way it
works out for Howard M.
Smith, who has filled the posi-
ton for Montgomery County
Circuit Court since May, 1859.
Specifically, his duties involve
drawing up a time, date and
place schedule for hearings on
the scores of cases coming be-
fore the courts four judges al
most every week. That's where
the accuracy comes in.
The schedule is prepared for
a six-month period so that the
36-year-old commissioner has to
do considerable crystal gazing
to estimate the time each case
will take in setting them down
for trial.
"Our biggest job" he ex-
plains, ''is to make certain as
far as possible that the judges
time is used to the best advan-
tage, with no delays between
trials"
This means he also has to
synchroniZe the attorneys time
with that of the judges so the
lawyers will be in the right
courtroom at the right time.
III addition, he has to dis
tribute the work evenly among
the judges so that one isn't
overloaded with cases while an
other just coasts along with a
few.
No FavOritism Shown
He is careful to show no ia
voritism toward attorneys who
may want to argue their cases
before a particular judge.
ITS a long-standing policy of
this office not to reveal which
judge is presiding over a GER
tain trial until the morning
when the case actually comes
up" he emphasized.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
BY OLAF HALVERSON

Comets and planetoids have
been considered a part of the
Solar System. There is one theory
which suggests that comets may
be waste materials of the Solar
System, or leftovers after the
planetary system was formed.
Others think that great comets
may be material drawn in from
outside space. Perhaps the comets
were flying back and forth be-
tween two stars until it became
so exhausted that one of the suns
was able to capture it.
At least we know that the solar
system now possesses great
number of comets, who bow to
the mastery of our star and never
wander beyond the orbits of his
planets. There is nothing that will
lure them from the suns gravita-
tional power
Comets were looked upon by
people of early times ina dread
full, foreboding manner.

Arrest Two AfIunfu Negroes
For Moving Into white
Neiqhborhood After Dark

Atlanta (ANP) - Two persons
were arrested here last week under
provisions Of an ordinance recently
enacted to prevent Negroes from
"sneaking" into white neighbor-
hoods.
The new law prohibits persons
from moving into a home after
shutdown. In many instances in
the past, Negroes who had pur-
chased homes in white neighbor-
hoods have moved in under the
cover OF darkness to escape notice
Of white neighbors who might OBJ
ject.
Arrested and charged last week
were two Negro men found moving
furniture into a house in a white
neighborhood.
Patrolmen w. ]. NeIms and p.
o. Mote said they booked charges
Of disorderly conduct-moving after
shutdown against Earl Hendricks
Jr. and Howard Higgins.
Higgins told police the furniture
belonged to his mother, Matte
Higgins, who had purchased the
house.

Chamberlain Changes
Mind; Signs New
Contract For $50, 900

Philadelphia CAMP - Wit
Chamberlain, the man who won
the Most Valuable Player award
in the National Basketball Assn.
in a sensational rookie year in
1859 and then just as abruptly
announced his retirement has
changed his mind to the tune of
$50, 900.
That was the amount Chamber
lain was paid to sign a new 1890
81 contract with the Philadelphia
Warriors of the Eastern Division
of the association, according to re-
ports here. Chamberlain broke
every conceivable record while
playing with the Warriors last
season.
However, Chamberlain paid
dearly, physically, for the records
he set. Singled out as the man to
stop by opposing teams, wilt was
roughed up continually in a three
man sagging defense set up against
him by rival coaches. In one game,
several Of his teeth were loosened
when the st. Louis Hawks Clyde
Lovelette hit him with a flying
elbow in a play under the net.
Lovelette claimed the blow was
accidental.
BY seasons end, Chamberlain
was thoroughly Disguised. He ac-
cused opposing players Of rough
house tactics and league referees
Of being lax in penalizing offend
ers. Then he surprised the basket
ball world by announcing his re-
tirement from pro ball and made a
European tour with the Harlem
Globetrotters.

Negro Electricians To Do Hired
On Federal Construction
Projects In cupiful City


Washington (ANP) - General
Services Administrator Franklin
C. F1oete said last week he ex-
poets Negro electricians to be
working on Federal construction
projects here in two weeks.
BY that time, he said, construc-
ton of Federal Office Building No.
6 should be far enough along 80
that a group Of Negroes, consid-
cred unqualified for early, heavy
construction work, can be and
should be hired.
Efforts to crack the color bar on
FOB 6, and the Smithsonian In
stitution's Museum of History and
Technology, are considered the key
to lowering barriers here against
Negro craftsmen in construction
work.
AFL-CIO president George Mea-
ny, the Washington Urban League
and the Presidents Committee on
Government Contracts have been
spearheading the attempt.
Last spring the Urban League
and the United States Employ
ment Service referred five Ne
groes for work on FOB 6 and the
Museum.
All were rejected by the cleo
trical subcontractor on the grounds
of insufficient experience for
heavy construction.
