day that the Congo be called
in future either the Commu-
nifty of the Associated States

federation of States of the
Congo" with Joseph Kasavubu
of the Leopoldville government
as president.

others were waiting for Mr.

a hand over his ear and says,
Yes, I'm sorry I missed that.

or the one who rubs a hand
over his eyes and says, I'D

DR.. Smith said these ges-
lures shouldn't be taken as
purely negative reactions, but
they indicate LESS than a
whole acceptance"
DR.. Smith said more obvious
symptoms Of anxiety are the
squirming and crying of a
youngster getting into a den

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 1.-THE
Prince Georges County mem
bers Of the House of Delegates
yesterday approved a bill which
would allow underground stor-
age of gas in the county but
killed a bill which would ban
pinball machines.
The action on the gas bill
clears the way for the legisla-
tion to move through the
House. Final approval rests
with the county's senator, H.
Winship Wheatley, who must
okay it before it can get
through the Senate.
On local matters not affect
ing other areas, the decision of
the local members of the Leg
islature usually is followed by
the House and Senate.
Blocked for Years
The Washington Gas Light
Co. plans to establish a multi
million-dollar underground res
ervoir near BrandyWine in
Prince Georges. 1t has tried for
years to get legislation author
izing the project but has been
stymied each time after op-
position from some landowners
in the area of the project.
Lansdale G. Sasscer, jr.,
chairman of the county delega-
ton said the House members
felt the project would be lin
the public interest"
The gas company said the
underground reservoir will en-
able it to save money-which
would be reflected in consum-
er rates-by storing gas during
the warm months for use dur
ing peak demands in cold
weather.
The project is expected to
yield about $250,000 in tax
revenues to Prince Georges.
The pinball bill, which was
introduced by Delegate Carl
ton R. Sickles, was turned
down with Mr.. Sickles dissent
| ing. I'm still for the bill" :"
Mr.. SickleS said after the closed
meeting.
Regulations Cited
Mr.. Sasscer said it was felt
the pinball ban bill would be
unconstitutional. He said reg
ulationS on operations Of the
machines already have been en-
acted and that the delegation
could not bar their use as
amusement devices"
He said the delegation felt
the so-called "Wheatley bill
passed two years ago is suf-
, ficient to regulate the machines
: and that the question is one
' of enforcement.
, The Wheatley law provides
that a Federal gambling stamp
on a pinball machine is evident
on its face that the machine
, is being used for gambling. Use
of the devices for other than
:, amusement is prohibited by
law.

Morgon's Trial Ends
|nCubo, Fate Uncertain

HAVANA, Mar. II (AP).-
Military authorities said today
that no verdict has been
reached in the military trial of
William A. Morgan and 13
others accused of conSpiring
against the Castro government.
A military tribunal was re-
ported last night to have SEN
fenced him to death.
But Defense Attorney Jorge
Luis CAIRO said this morning
he had been advised the tri-
bunal had not yet returned it's
verdict in the trial, which
ended yesterday. Mr.. Caro-
announced last night Morgan
and his aide, Maj. Jesus Car
reras, had been sentenced to
be shot and the same informa-
ton appeared in all govern
ment papers this morning.
Nevertheless, military author
tiles said no decision had been
reached but that one might
be announced later today.
The earlier accounts said
Morgan, a 3l-year-old soldier
Of fortune, had been convicted
of treason.
Fought Charges
During his two-day trial at
La Cabana fortress Morgan was
accused of supplying arms to
anti-CaStro rebels in the Es-
cambray Mountains-the same
rugged peaks where he joined
Castro's guerillas in 1857 as a
major.
Morgan pleaded not guilty
and insisted his faith still lies
with the revolution. He has
been locked up at La Cabans
since his arrest last October.
II stand here innocent, u, he
told his five judges in English
Speaking slowly and almost
inaudibly, he continued:
Il guarantee this court that
if I am found guilty I will walk
to the execution wall with nc
escort, with moral strength anc
with a clear conscience. I have
defended this revolution be.
cause 1 believed in it."
Morgan looked haggard anc
unshaven. The head of the
tribunal was a captain who
wounded a United States EN-.
bassy employe during a row
outside a Havana night clut
last December.

Exposed Others

At another trial 18 months
ago, when a group of Cubans
faced death for an anti-Castro
plot that Morgan himself pried
open as a counterspy, Morgan
suggested hard labor for the
guilty instead of execution.
Some were shot later anyway.
His part in exposing that
plot projected Morgan as a
national hero. He was put in
charge of an experimental frog
farm that exported 81 million
worth of frog legs to the
United States. Last October
