County Comment
Principle Results
Gould Be Weird

Some weeks ago, we had occasion to dis
agree in this corner with the legal principle
being urged on state courts by attorneys for
the sitin demonstrators who were arrested at
Glen Echo Park. This week. we had the OPP
portunity to hear their arguments in full dur
ing the Circuit Court trespass trials of the
demonstrators.
Result: Our original views were rein
forced.
The argument, briefly, is that, although
a property owner has the right to deny ac-
cess to his property to anyone he chooses, he
cannot enlist the aid of the police if to do SO
would help enforce a policy of racial segre-
cation.
The argument, of course, has a ring of
Sophistry. 1t woeid recognize a property
right while at the same time virtually destroy.
ing the means of enforcing the right.
This in itself would not be an entirely
novel principle of law The Supreme Court,
for example, has held that restrictive cove
nants are valid as private agreements but that
they are unenforceable by the courts. If
extended to trespass situations however, the
principle could produce some truly weird
results.
Let's assume that own a small business
and that have violent prejudice against
people whose names begin with B. Now sup
pose that Barney Barnstorm comes into my
shop and refuses to leave when tell him I

around the County

1T CAN'T BE REPEATED
TOO often that Montgomery
County is blessed with one of
the finest police departments
in the country. Every citizen
has the right to be proud of
this law-enforcing agency.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE that
there come a time to print a
story concerning the actions
of one officer. This was done
last week in this newspaper.
And the story was printed in
order to provide not only facts
the public is entitled to know
but printed with the hope the
police officer involved would
get a public message which
would provide the real reason
for reform.
CORNELIUS DEVRIES, jr.,
is a healthy young man with
two fine relatives on the police
force. And If young Corn could
pattern his law-enforcing ca
reer after that of his uncle
Sergeant Bill DeVries, there
would never be one word of
criticism.
ACCORDING TO HIS FELL
LOW OFFICERS, Cornelius
DeVries has the makings of a
good officer. And there is no
reason why he should not be
among the best, especially if
he learns to control his temper
just a little better. There is no
reason for him to use any
thing but his natural strength
to subdue 90 percent of those
arrested for one thing or an.
other. Many men of lesser
Drawn have been effective po-
lice officers without the use
of clubs or anything else. So
could DeVries.
IN YEARS PAST there
have been several police Off
GERS who have had the wrong
attitude about some phases of
their work. Nothing did so
much good for them as a news
paper article that was critical.
Almost without exception,
each of these officers turned
out to be the best on the force.
1T ISN'T PLEASANT for
a local newspaper to bring to
the attention of several thou

won't do business with him. According to the
proposed principle could not call the police
to help me depose Barney For to do so
would be to employ the police power to help
enforce my private segregation policy against
people whose names begin with B.
Attorneys for the demonstrators were
careful to point out that the property owner
would retain his right to use reasonable self
help" against the trespasser. Barney, in turn,
has no such right He must not resist my
"self-help" efforts to depose him.
My recourse, therefore, apparently would
be to call two or three assistants depending
upon Barneys current weight and carry the
trespasser bodily from my store.
If he should fight back would then have
the right to whistle for the cops-because
Barney has now committed the additional
crime lin addition to trespass that isl of dis.
orderly conduct and/or assault and battery.
But suppose he didn't fight back. Suppose
further that Barney gathers a few hundred
like-minded relatives, all of whose names be-
gin with B, and leads them one by one into
my store. 1 would be forced to abandon my
regular business duties and spend my full
time transporting limp bodies off the
premises.
All this doubtlessly would greatly benefit
my flabby biceps. But it would wreak havoc
with my business my disposition, and my
respect for the law.

sand readers the weaknesses
of public servants but it is the
job of the newspaper to keep
the people informed about all
phases of public life. There is
a grave responsibility resting
on the shoulders of newspaper
owners, editors and writers.
And If they don't use the news
paper for its proper function
then they should not be in the
business. Theirs is a public
trust just as important as that
of the police officer and other
public officials.
POLICE OFFICERS HAVE
a very difficult job. But the
most important thing for each
officer to remember is that it
is a job that has to be done in
the most impersonal way pos
sible. 1t is a mistake for any
officer to display too much
anger. Any arrest is unpleas.
ant but when it is necessary to
make an arrest It should be
done without personal feelings.
OF course, 1t always helps If
an officer Is able to determine
whether or not a ticket or
warning will do the most good.
And If a policeman feels 1t
necessary to talk to an offend
err, it should be done with the
minimum of words and with
reasonable respect. The officer
must remember there are very
few human beings who do not
make mistakes, including the
law enforcing agents them
selves.
THERE ARE HUNDREDS
of outstandingly fine men on
the Montgomery County Po-
lice Force. And the Superin-

Moon Researcher

LONDON, Jan. % (AP).-Dr
H. Percy wilkins, So, a leading
British astronomer known es-
pecially for his moon research,
died today at his home in Bex-
ley Heath south of London after
an illness of several weeks.
In recent years DR.. Wilkins
had served as an astronomer
and engineer with the British
War Ministry.
He was recognized as an au-
thority on the moon, which he
studied for years through his
own 18-inch telescope that cost
$3.50. He named 600 small
lunar features. These were
plotted carefully on a map of
the moon which he worked out
through telescope observations
made from his garden.
The astronomer had been
asked by the Russians to COM
ment on the pictures taken of
the hidden side of the moon in
a Russian rocket operation. Ill
health prevented him from get
ting down to work on the
request.
In 1858 DR.. wilkins won at
tention when he described a
mysterious bridge 20 miles
across a mountain barrier on
the moon. He said his observa-
ton confirmed the existence of
the bridge, first reported by
American astronomers.
