Some Drug Discounts
Borred in Silver Sprinq

ANNAPOLIS, May IA (AP)
The Court of Appeals yester.
day ordered that a permanent
injunction be issued barring
Dart Drug and Peoples Drug
Stores in Silver Spring from
selling certain drugs below
manufacturers list prices.
The high court reversed q
Montgomery County decision
which held there had not been
reasonable diligence on the
part of the four manufac-
turers concerned in the case
to enforce their own fair trade
prices.
The Court of Appeals agreed
that the manufacturers were
certainly not overzealous in
policing prices in the Wash
ington suburban area" but said
they had met standards of rea-
sonable diligence by recent

suits and assisting in the pros.
ecution of this one.
The suit was brought by Eli
and Selma Gadol, operators o.
the Four Corners Pharmacy
which competes with the bis
chain stores in Silver Spring
Mr.. Gadol charged he was be-
ing forced out of business BY
discounts on trade-markec
drugs in violation of Mary
lands Fair Trade Law.
In remanding the case fol
issuance of a permanent in
junction. the high court said
the decree might also ex-
pressly grant to the respond
ents leave to apply for its dis
solution, in whole or in part, al
any time if the manufacturers
or any of them. should cease
to exercise reasonable diligence
to enforce their respective fair
trade prices in the trading
area. :"
The court said it was not un-
mindful that the fair trade
problem is an acute one in the
Washington suburban area
since the District of Columbia
does not have fair trade laws,
But it said it could find no le-
gal authority for lower courts
ruling that "the manufacturers
are duty bound to be more alert
and aggressive Tin the Wash

q Boys Admit
Placing Bur
On Rail Track

-Four boys, ranging in age
from 6 to 9, yesterday showed
Montgomery County detectives
how they stopped a commuter
train Wednesday by placing an
iron bar on the tracks.
Detective Sergt. Harold A.
Treadwell said the boys, who
live in the Montgomery Hills
section, apparently wanted to
see if the train would flatten
the piece of metal.
Instead. he said, the 65-
pound rail connector tore up the
bottom of the two-car train
ripped holes in oil tanks under
the cars and broke the trains
air brakes. causing a total of
S23,000 damage.
With the brakes gone the
train, which was carrying more
than 200 passengers, coasted
over mile to a stop near
Forest Glen, he said.
The detective said the boys
told him the train, a Baltimore
& Ohio local between Wash
ington and Brunswick, Md,
pushed past a smaller piece of
metal the children had put on
the tracks Tuesday.
In Wednesdays incident, 25
ambulances, fire trucks and
other emergency equipment
went to the scene, but no one
had been injured.
Sergt. Treadwell said police
were convinced the children
didn't realize the possible con-
sequences of their action.
The four boys have oeen re-
leased in the custody of their
parents to await Juvenile Court
action, police said.

The school bond proposal is

poses that the funds be spent

Mr.. Bean said it was highly

County Council of PTAs are
both working actively for the
bond proposal" he said.

Setup Is Ruled
Effective Bur
Annexation

Fairfax County can prevent
further annexation attempts
by neighboring cities if it
adopts Arlington's plan of gov
ernment, Virginia Attorney
General Albertis S. Harrison
has ruled.
But the proposed urban
county plan. now being studis6
by the Board of Supervisors,
would not prevent annexation,
Mr.. Harrison said.
In a letter to Fairfax Dele
gate John c. Webb. Mr.. Har-
rison said if the county has a
population of at least 500 per-
tsons per square mile by the
1860 census-considered a cer-
tainty by county planners-it
could legally adopt the Arling-
ton plan.
And if it does adopt the plan,
he said, Fairfax would be pro-
tected against partial annexa-
| ton"
The law provides that no
county could then be annexed
by any city unless the entire
county was annexed, he said.
Urban County Views
Commenting on the urban
county plan in another letter to
Mr.. Webb, Mr.. Harrison said:
Il do not believe that any county
which adopts one of the urban
county forms of government in
question would thereby gain
any additional protection
against annexation which is
not specifically conferred by
the legislation under consider
ation."
The legislation does provide,
however, he added. for the dis
solution of towns within the
county after a referendum and
would prohibit the future in
corporation of unincorporated
communities within the county.
Supervisors, faced with an
nexation threats from Alexan-
dria and Falls Church, have
been studying both the urban
county plan and Arlington's
form of government. They have
scheduled a public hearing on
the merits of the two plans
for 10 am. June 90.
The urban county plan has
had the strong backing of the
Fairfax County Federation of
Citizens Associations.
Referendum Sought
Federation leaders plan to
ask the groups membership
this month to press for a No
vember referendum on the plan.
Supervisors, however, are
split on the issue. A majority
have expressed doubts about
rushing toward adoption of the
urban county plan.
Supervisors A. Claiborne
Leigh and James Keith sup
port the plan. Other members
have declined to indorse an
early referendum because they
feel the plan offers no protec-
ton against annexation.
The urban county plan
makes possible the creation of
several service districts which
could be headed by locally
elected commissioners. The
provision is aimed at giving
each area more voice in local
affairs and to provide for local
financing of municipal serv-
ices which are not furnished
on a countrywide basis.
Under the Arlington plan,
five County Board members
would be elected instead of
seven, as at present. A refer
Iendum would determine
whether more members should
be elected at large or by dis
trictS.

rooms will be included in the
SITS million school bond issue
for l 400 babies 5 years old"
THE truth is" Mr.. Bean de-
clared. mot one penny of the
bond money will be used for
kindergarten classrooms."
"The money" he said, will
be spent only for items listed
in the official information leaf
let mailed May 8 to voters"
Program Being Studied
Mr.. Bean said the kinder
garten program is now before
the county board for study and,
if approved, will be included in
the operational budget of the
school board. He added:
"I am confident of the cit
liens support of the bond is
sue. I feel that the voters will
seek the facts and know the
truth when they vote, rather
than be misled by unsigned
mailings which do not state
the facts and are mailed too
late for reply except through
the public press"
County Board Chairman Her
bert L. Brown also criticized
the postcard, which was signed
by group called Citizens Tax
Committee"
Sure of People
II am sure" Mr.. Brown said,
that voters of Arlington will
not be fooled by the irrespon-
sible last-minute effort of some
anonymous self-a PIP DIN e d
group to undermine public con-
fidence in our school board and
to defeat the school bond issue

About three-fourths of the
challenged ballots cast in the
primary were found valid by the
Board of Elections.
Of the 1876 challenged votes
which have not been counted,
the board accepted 1872 and
threw out 424.
These ballots could change

Mr.. Reeves 9,261 votes. only
1865 more than the 1895 fol
Mr.. Turner.
Count on Monday
Board members yesterday
said the validated ballots would
be counted beginning Monday
morning. Almost all had been
challenged because the voter
had cast his ballot in the wrong
precinct. The board, how
ever, decided that these votes
would be counted.
The 424 ballots were rejected
officials said. because there was
no evidence that the voter hao
registered or because he hao
registered for one political party
and had voted for the other.
Election officials said any
person whose vote was rejected
has the right to go to court
through next Tuesday to appeal
this decision. A voter whose
ballot was challenged at the
polls must come to the Office
OF the Board of Elections, ir

2. We can support program
of education for peace. Unless
the havenot nations can help
their citizens use more effective
ly the foods and knowledge pro-
We'd by more developed coun-
tries, this aid will be wasted.
3. We can support a program
of food for peace, America has
too much food. To have too
much and not share it is de-
structive of conscience and the
human spirit. We should support
efforts made in Congress to get
more of our surplus food where
it will not rot but will feed the
hungry. Hungry people are not
ready to discuss plans for peace.
4. We should work for world
law.
God Works Through People
God works in history, but he
also works through persons.
Robert Hill, the young son of a
United States sergeant station
ed in italy, read about Albert
Schweitzer's hospital and decid-
ed to contribute bottle Of
aspirin. He asked the Allied Air
Force commander if an air-force
plane could take the bottle to
DR.. Schweitzer's hospital.
An italian radio station broad
cast the story, and as a result
Robert flew to the hospital with
four and one-half tons of medi-
cal supplies valued at $400,00O.
The bottle of aspirin had grown
into magnificent gift.
When our spirits are stirred
by Christian Imagination. the
eternal miracle is ever perform
ed. We learn that a few loaves
and fishes can feed a multitude.
Thus the influence of one man
for Gods peace equals that of
ten thousand. Then the roadway
of history becomes the very
highway for our God.
LESSON PRAYER
20 God, who dost quicken the
minds Of thy children, kind1e
our imaginations that We may
see thy hand fashioning the
destinies of those who put their
trust in thee. Help us discover
how we may change situations
in our world in way that will
lead to the coming of thy king
dom. Amen.

gins Of profit.
ManagementS won't be able
to bail themselves out of their
extravaganceS or mistakes by
raising prices at their own will.
1t won't be so easy to impose
price increases or make them
stick. In a phase Of fairly stable
prices, control of costs becomes
OF vital Importance.
Big Profits Possible
1t will mean that tremendous
profits may be made by indus

This is no longer the anything

been for some time. But it is an
era which promises great re-

market them.
And as I reported in the three

also means that:
You need not try to stock up
on goods in advance in an effort
to beat shortages or price ad-
vances.
You can deposit money in q

in bonds with more confidence.
You can have greater faith
that the dollars in your social

1t will not be so easy to make
