warning that the defendant
might write worthless checks.

clude that Edward R. Phillips,
25, of the 900 block of I street
NV. could be considered dan
gerous in that sense.
Phillips was sent to st. Eliza
beths from Municipal Court
last December after an insanity
ruling acquitted him of a
charge of attempting to pass a
worthless check totalling S87.94.
Psychiatrist Stephen KIinger
testified yesterday that Phillips
still suffered from an abnormal
mental condition. He said he
could not say Phillips was no
longer dangerous because he

The judge overruled the psy-

grounds that the hospital was
being arbitrary and capricious

Phillips.

High Court Decision
Might AidMaryIand

A decision in the United States Supreme
Court this week might well be the instrument
to alter the thinking of an Annapolis judge
who has indicated rather clearly his inclina-
ton to throw out of court seeking to force
reapportionment of the Legislature
the complaint of the Maryland Committee for
Fair Representation in Anne Arundel County
Circuit Court clearly conceded the inequity of
the present system of representation in the
Legislature while expressing strong doubt of
his authority to do anything about it.
I'VE must concede there is malapportion-
ment here" he told attorneys in the case, "but
it is a political question and is not case for
the court to substitute its judgment for the
Legislatures" Precedents set by higher
courts, he said, place reapportionment beyond
the courts power to correct.
But that was before the Supreme Court
had ruled in the highly questioned action of
the Alabama State Legislature in revising the
boundaries of Tuskegee for the purpose of
excluding Negro voters who previously had
outnumbered whites in the city.
In ruling the action unconstitutional, the
Supreme Court departed from its unbroken
policy of refusing to decide political ques-
tons" to be solved by the legislatures and the
too farfetched to view the decision as
precedent that might lead to broader consid-
Grafton by the Supreme Court of political

An Opinion

Arthur Stellhorn director of planning
for the Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission continues to irritate
many persons in the county by his seemingly
arbitrary action concerning a proposed plan
for developing the upper Northwest Branch
watershed.
With apparent disregard of individual
rights, Stelhorn and his staff prepared
new plan which scuttled many parcels OF
commercial land that had been zoned COM
mercial by due process Of law. And whether
some ground should have been zoned from
one classification to another is not for Stell.
horn or anyone else to judge. Most OF the
land involved had been zoned by either the
County Council or the Board Of County Com
mssioners. Other parcels were commercial
before coming laws
Last Thursday evening the Planning Com
mission held a public hearing on this pro-
posed plan. 1t lasted until 1870 am.
The plan covers an area bounded by the
Olney-Sandy Spring Ashton road on the north,
Colesville road on the east Wheaton Region
al Park and White Oak on the south and
Georgia avenue on the west.
PROFESSIONAL Planners property owners
and developers had quite bit to say about
this plan that anticipates population in 1880
of 10000 in the 81 square miles where 5000
people now live.
There is much to be said for the plan
and much to be said against. Our comments
are directed to the constant harassment in.
flicted on many people in this and other areas
by the planning staff Of the Park and Plan
ming Commission There is no excuse for it.
And we don't go along with Stellhorn when
he told us the night of the hearing; Look
around, these people are having good time"
People don't have good time when they
have to hire and pay lawyers to represent
them at hearing in order to restore COM
