RobberGets
20 Years in
Maryland

A Baltimore man who pleaded
guilty to a charge of robbing
a Bethesda construction work
er of his firms payroll last
spring was sentenced today to
20 years in the Maryland peni-
tentiary.
Judge James H. Pugh of the

holdup of a $500 payroll on
April %.
Trial for Dorset c. Calp, 81,
of Baltimore, also accused of
taking part in the robbery, is
scheduled in the circuit court
at Rockville on october 9.
"You went there to rob-"
Judge Pugh told Calhoun. you
are nothing but a highway
robber."
Police said the two stole the
payroll from the construction
worker, but were stopped by
police when they failed to halt
at a stop sign in Bethesda.
When they were unable to
produce a registration card for
the truck, they were followed
by police to a construction pro-
ject at the National Institute
of Health. There police dis
covered the theft and arrested
the two after exchanging shots.

House Unit Ignores
Pupil Fare Subsidy
Transit Told
To Ask Rate
OF 12h Cents

D. C. Transit, Inc, apparently
has lost any chance of getting
its request for a school fare
subsidy through Congress this
session.
A House District Subcommit-
tee headed by Representative
Dowdy, Democrat of Texas, to-
day refused to take any action
on two bills which would have
required the District to Subsi-
die the transit company for
losses resulting from a reduced
fare for school children.
In effect, the subcommittee
directed the transit company
to ask for fare of 1917 cents
for school children.
Under its franchise, the COM
pany is entitled to charge
school children half its regular
fare, which now stands at Is
cents. The current school fare
is 10 cents.
Chalk Asked Bill
o. Roy Chalk, president and
chairman of the board of the
transit system, had asked for
a bill which would have re-
quired the District to subsidize
school fares to whatever eX-
tent was necessary to guarantee
the transit company a profit
of 6.5 per cent, based on its
gross operating revenue.
Mr.. Chalk had claimed that
unless the company was
awarded the subsidy, the riding
public would be compelled to
make up losses experienced in
transporting school children.
Five other bills-four of them
already cleared by the House
were unopposed at hearings
before a Senate subcommittee,
headed by Senator Hartke,
Democrat of Indiana.
Earlier Casualty
Among House bills was one
that was a casualty of the ma
jor civil rights debate of the
last Congress. This was a bill
to free priests, clergymen, rab-
bis, practitioners of Christian
Science, or other ministers of
any religion, from court testi-
mony about conversations with
their communicates unless the
latter consents. The bill re-
ported last session by the Sen
ate District Committee was
held on the floor as a possible
vehicle for controversial civil
rights legislation, but Senate
leaders decided against tacking
civil rights onto the rela-
lively noncontroversial minis
ters' bill.
Other Bills Supported
The Senate subcommittee
also heard witnesses support
bills to authorize the Washing
ton Home for Foundlings to
give cancer treatments, to per-
init the Municipal Court to
hear claims in all civil actions
over which it now has iurisdic-
ton rather than only those in
volving $4,000 damages or less
and to allow Distrit Commits
sionerS to sell at auction prop
critics forfeited in gambling
raids.
Reported by a House COM
mittee but still awaiting floor
action was another bill before
the Senate hearing to reinsert
dover" rights into District in
heritance laws. This would give
a surviving spouse one-third
rights to all property in the
absence of a will distributing
property in another way.

TaWes Chided
For FaiIureof
Redistricting
Group Separates
Reupportionment
From Unit Rule

BALTIMORE, Aug. IA (AP)
Another barb was thrown at
Gov. Tawes today for failure OF
the Maryland Legislature to re-
wise seats in the General As
sembly.
The Committee for Fair Rep
resentation, in addition to child
ing the Democratic Governor
for not naming a special COM
mission to study reapportion-
ment, disagreed with his stand
that Maryland's unit vote Sys-
tenn in primary elections is tied
to the reapportionment ques-
tion.
unlike reapportionment,
the committee stated, ''the unit
vote system can be abolished
before the 1862 primary by a
simple legislative act in the
next Legislature in February.
Prompt Repeal Sought
Its repeal should be sought
forthwith ;"
Under the unit system, a pri-
mary candidate receiving the
most popular votes is awarded
all the unit votes equal to the
number of State legislators
from county or one of the
six Baltimore districts.
1t is possible, and it has hap.
pened, that candidate may re-
ceive a majority of popular
votes in the entire State YET
lose the nomination in the unit
count.
1--WE are sorry that Gov
Tawes missed his opportunity
to meet effectively the reappor-
tionment and unit vote prob
lens in Maryland by refusing
to appoint a special commission
to study and recommend action
on these related questions" the
Fair Representation statement
declared.
Past Promises Cited
"The Governors statement
that there is no need for fur
ther study and that he will
throw the full weight of his
office behind a reapportion-
ment bill next year is almost
indentical to his past promises
IF he has something differ
ent, such as a bill reasonably re-
lated to population, in mind,
we urge him to make public its
contents"
Gov. Tawes has twice an
nounced his backing of bills to
adjust the number of seats in
the House of Delegates. Both
failed.
The chairman of the Com
mittee on Fair Representation
is Christian Kahl. Baltimore
County executive. Mr.. Kahl is
a Democrat who is expected to
be allied with forces opposing
Gov. Tawes in next Mays
primary.

he had never used the words
"bribe" or "shakedown" during
the hearings. He said these
words were used by the news
papers.
Under direct questioning
from hearing chairman Dayton
M. Harrington, the auto dealer
said, however, that when ap-
preached this year by a man
who said Mr.. Rosenberg could
not get a license, Mr.. Rosen-
berg had thought that a pay
ment to the proper person
might have done the trick.
Mr.. Rosenberg told the
board that earlier this year
he wanted to open a used-car
lot in Washington and called
Mr.. Cardano to ask about his
chances of getting a license.
He said Mr.. Cardano thought
his chances were good. But
less than two hours later, Mr..
Rosenberg testified, a third
party, who never has been
identified during the hearings,
told him that he could not get
a license.
Mr.. Rosenberg said he called
Mr.. Cardano Immediately and
that the enforcement chief

if I gave a touch or something,
I'd get my license. I just don't

Mr.. Rosenberg said that in
his dealings with Mr.. Cardano,

I'm appealing to you to give
me a chance to show I am

I'm asking for an oppor-

WE DROVE PAST square
miles of soy beans in large
bush.
Most of the Eastern Shores
Soybean crop is exported.
But a large pressing plant
has been built on the Shore
and another is under con-
struction. Much of the oil
goes into vegetable shorten
ing and the meal goes into
chicken feed.
The corn was so tall that
men walking alongside the
rows looked like pygmies.
Some Of the roadside corn
fields are demonstration
stands grown for the big
hybrid seed companies. Some
hybrid seed is produced on
the shore but most comes
from the Midwest.
Hybrid corn seed must be
produced under controlled
polarization. Before the de-
velopment of hybrid, which
greatly increased production
per acre, farmers produced
their own seed by retaining
choice ears.
Production of the seed has
become a big industry and
the great seed firms pay for
the demonstration stands to
show Eastern Shore farmers
the tail corn their seed pro-
duces.
The lima bean crop for the
most part has been har-
vested. Little Delaware's
counties on the Eastern
Shore are second only to
California in the production
of the lima bean for freez-
ing and canning.
We sped past roadside
stands selling crumbs spilled
from this horn of plenty,
melons, both water and can
teloupe, sweet corn, green
and red peppers and to-
matoes.
We did not stop and pur-
chase-always in a hurry on
a highway where the GUS
tomary speed seems to be go.
Now we are back, we wish
we had.
We did not see the large
fields of tomatoes we have
in the past. This crop seems
to be losing out to other
areas, The Phillips canning
establishment at Cambridge,
which produced a scent can
of tomatoe soup, has been
