That same day, Mr.. Brodie-
who said he had come to
watch the trial of a woman
friend-was a spectator in the
courtroom. He occupied a seat
next to Mr.. Carpenter. who
was there as the complaining
witness against Martin.

the second man involved in the
crime. Mr.. Brodie was arrested.

Mr.. Brodie came back to
court April 6-this time as a
defendant-and appeared be-
fore Judge Nelson. He was

erson, argued twice for a new
trial.
Martin was brought up from

ing. He testified he didn't
want to see an innocent man
sent to Jail and he named a
different accomplice.
At the second hearing, Mr..
Robertson told the Judge an
other man had admitted he
was the one with Martin. Judge
Nelson had Mr.. Brodie and the
other man stand side by side
in the courtroom. But Mr..
Carpenter stuck to his identi-
f1cation.
This is where the matter
stood until yesterday when

the Washington ACLU Office,

LEXINGTON, KY. Oct. is
(AP).-Maryland's Gov. Tawes
suggested yesterday that Appa-

highway and transportation
study to stimulate economic
growth in the 11-State area.
He said such q move would
prove a valuable aid to all
of us individually and to the
region as a whole"
we in Maryland" he said,
"are very conscious Of our own
dependence on good commune
cations within and across the
Appalachian ridge.
"And / am sure that each Of
the States represented here is
equally conscious of the man
ner in which It's economy and
prospective depends on vital
highway linkages which run
through neighboring States :. )"
Favorable Reception Seen
The Maryland Governor said
the highway study would be
favorably received by the United
States Bureau of Public Roads
but would have to rely heavily
on support from. the Southern
Regional Education Board and
the Council of State Govern
ment.
"One important job of a
group such as ours" Gov. Tawes
told the other Governors and
Governor representatives, "is to
convince the rest of the Nation
of the Importance Of this area.

equal to the rest of the Nation

burning school board race.
The two most striking pro-
posals came from candidates
backed by the Council for Bet
ter Education. which has sup
ported care in spending and
emphasis on fundamentals.

dents in each grade should be
grouped according to ability at

instruction more closely to pu-
pills capacities.
There's no policy on it now,"
he said.
Mr.. James said ability group
ing Is carried out in some
schools and not in others.
The CBE-backed candidate
urged study "and possible emu
lation" of the Districts new
Amidon School where, he said,
"no-nonsense" classes empha-
size basic subjects.
James 1. Humphrey, who also
has the backing of the CBE,
surprised some observers at his
first public appearance Of the
campaign by calling for sharp
increases in teachers salaries.
"The best teachers should get
$4,000 "a year, in order to
attract competent. career per-
sonnet" he said. Mr.. Hum
phrey later explained the $18.-
900 salary would be for priM-
cipals, who now receive about
$4,000 annually.
Clifford X. Beck, unoppo5ed
incumbent, said he ha6 mis-
givings about the college train
