ment Of principles which wifi

In his letter to Mr.. Kenney,
Mr.. Shipley wrote: !

Group Asks
ReoIignment
In Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md, oct. 6
(AP).-The Maryland League
of Women Voters said Wednes-
day that reapportionment OF
the States General Assembly
lis vital to representative
government in the State OF
Maryland"
The League asked the Mary
land Court of Appeals to over
turn an Anne Arundel circuit
court decision in which Judge
o. Bowie Duckett said he was
powerless to act because reap
portionment was a Legislative
matter.
The womens' group filed a
brief as a friend of the court.
The League thus supported the
position of the Maryland Com
for Fair Representation,
which appealed Judge Duckett's
ruling.
The high court is scheduled
to hear the case sometime this
month.
The Leagues attorneys, John
I. Heise, jr., and Charles A.
HorSky, said in the brief that
Maryland now ranks near the
bottom Of the so States in as

LA PLATA. Md. Oct. GA
Circuit Court judge today
warned Charles County slot
machine operators that, be-
cause they enjoy" a privilege
not generally given throughout
Maryland, the law must be
observed to the last detail.
The comments came from
Judge J. Dudley Digges in i'm
posing a fine of $500 and costs
each on Mr.. and Mrs. Everett
B. Burroughs. Waldorf reStau-
rant operators, on charges of
operating slot machines not
licensed in their names.
Judge Digges said he took
into consideration the fact
that the law requires auto
matte revocation of the Bur-
roughs' slot machine license for
two years upon their conviction
and also that the law has been
changed since the violation to
permit them to do substantially
what they attempted under the
old statute.
Leased" Out Space
Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs,
through Attorney Rudolph A.
Carrico, filed a mo contest"
answer to the charge brought
bya Charles County grand jury
last November.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs
admitted on the stand that on
April 10, 1860. when the law
permitted a maximum of only
three machines to one opera
tor, they had leased" out a
space in the Georges Villa bar
and restaurant to. Mrs. Mary
Eileen Conley, who obtained
licenses for three more ma
chimes.
II did not feel it was a viola
ton Of the law" Mrs. Bur-
ro1ghs said. because everyone
else was doing it."
She said someone" at the
courthouse had informed her
she could legally operate more

licenses for two years, and also
because neither of the defend
ants had a previous criminal
record.
They feel the income they
receive from slot machines is
very necessary for them to be
able TO keep their small place
of business" Mr.. Carrico
added.

than three machines by leasing
out space to another operator.
Both she and her husband,
however. admitted they re-
ceived all the profits from the
machines.
Declined Share
States Attorney George W.
Bowling asked Mrs. Burroughs
if any of the profits were Of
fered Mrs. Conley.
Yes" was the answer, but
she said not would put her
in a higher income bracket"
Mrs. Carrico asked the court
to withhold a verdict because

Charter Plan
Outlined for
Civic Group
BY JAMES B.. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

Prince Georges County char
ter advocates last night were
told that changing their county
commissioner form of govern.
ment Is no guarantee Of better
service.
But Christian Kahl, execu-
tive for Baltimore County, said
he felt the charter approved in
1856 was the best thing for his
growing county.
A veteran of both forms, Mr..
Kahl was one Of the county's
three commissioners for IL
years and then was elected to
the county executive post. He
discussed the changeover be-
fore an overflow crowd Of ITS
persons attending a Prince
Georges Civic Federation meet
ing.
The federation next month
plans to vote on q committee
report criticizing Prince
Georges century-old govern
ment by five county commits
sionerS, and urging that it give
way to charter government
patterned after Baltimore
County's-an elected executive
and council plus a hired admin
istrator.
No Recommendation
Mr.. Kahl emphasized he did
not know the intricacies of
Prince Georges commissioner
Set-up or other facets of the
government, and could make no
recommendation for either
form.
Given the right people, the
county commissioner system
should work efficiently" Mr..
Kahl said.
Don't think the adoption of
a new form Of government will
solve all problems. 1t may slow
some up" Mr.. Kahl added, say
ing:
Our charter gives the people
a strong executive responsible
to the people. The council, as
a legislative body, makes I'D
the balance Of powers"
Herbert P. Griffith, fedora
ton vice president, suggested
Mr.. Kahl could become "a
Khrushchev" in his position as
executive.
Il had much more power as
president Of the county COM
missioners than I do now" Mr..
Kahl replied.
Move Grew
The Baltimore County execu-
tive said the move for charter
government grew in his county
in 1850 when new residents felt
they were not being represented
by the commissioners, and that
more home rule was needed.
The move was aided by the
success Of charter advocates in
Montgomery County, he said.
Advocates. Of charter govern
ment in Prince Georges feel the
same condition exists and will
lead the way to a referendum
victory for them. in November,
1862. -
Charter government Is not
necessarily more costly than
any other but there may be a
backed-up need for services the
people will want under charter"
which could lead TO higher
taxes. Mr.. Kahl said.

On many occasions, since the organization of the Junior Chamber

First of all, this type Of man does not have the most important

Newburgh Claims
Desired Result
In Welfare Case

NEWBURGH, N. Y, Aug. Is
(AP). - The first welfare
recipient to take a job with the
city under Newburgh's con-
troverSial new welfare program
didn't last long on it. But city
officials say they got a desired
result.
Welfare Commissioner Peter
Petrillo said the man, who
twice had declined city-ar-
ranged jobs with private firms
was put to work yesterday do
ing odd jobs around City Hall.
The man worked until noon,
then failed to show up after
lunch. Mr.. Petrillo said the
mans wife telephoned the well
fare office to say he had OBJ
tanned employment on his own
as a painter, and wanted to be
taken off relief rolls.
A provision of the city's new
13-point program makes it
mandatory for able bodied men
on relief to take city jobs. City
officials say the program is
designed to cut down the well
fare bill.
