Richard John Lavery, ST.. SO,
q Chicago insurance attorney
for many years, died yesterday
at his home, 1902 Dublin drive,
Silver Spring, after a long ILL
ness.
Mr.. Lavery, a native of Chi
cago, was graduated from the
University of Chicago and re-
ceived his law degree from Lake
Forest (Ill0 College.
He was with the Chicago
branch of the Standard In
surance Co. of Detroit for 80
years, serving most of the time
as manager of the claims office.
Mr.. Lavery retired from the
insurance business in 1887 but

Court Rules Bond Issue
In Falls Church LeooI

Taxpayers Leagues argument
that voters should have been
permitted to vote separately on
the different bond items. The
city charter specifically pro-
vides for such combination is
sues, he said.
The bond issue was passed by
a vote of 1856 to 1892. Free
holders voting approved the is
ue by LOTS to 1,010.
The Taxpayers Leagues chal-
lenge did not call enough votes
into question to change the re-
suits of the election, Judge Van
Dyck held.
Evening star., 1961-08-03

Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Calvin Van Dyck yesterday up
held the legality of a $1.2 mil
lion Falls Church bond issue
tied up in court since last fall.
In his ruling, Judge Van
Dyck rejected arguments by the
city's Taxpayers League that
Irregularities in the election
made it invalid.
The bond issue, approved last
November 8 by a majority of
324, included $875, 900 for i'm
provements to George Mason
High School and James Madi-
son Elementary School, $217,000
for street improvements and
$108,000 for storm drainage
facilities.
The issue was challenged by
the Taxpayers League on the
grounds that voters were not
permitted to vote separately for
the various bond items and that
the required distinction be-
tween freeholderS (property
owners and non-freeholders
was not made in some cases.
The league also contended
that the use of voting machines
in the election invalidated the
issue.
The city replied that the
election legally was held and
that the city charters distinc-
ton between freeholders and
non-freeholders was unconsti-
tutional.
Judge Van Dyck dismissed the
city's contention that the char
ter provision was unconstitu-
tional since "the city is. pre-
cluded in this suit from at
tempting to impeach its own
charter"
He upheld the use Of voting
machines in the election since
they are permitted under State
law and since the machines
properly distinguished be-
tween freeholders and nom
freeholderS.
In addition, he overruled the

Dillon Urges
ReViisiions
ByCongress
By the Associated Press

Secretary of the Treasury
Dillon today told Congress that
incentives for business growth
and the closing of tax loobholes
are essential to the prepared
ness buildup in the Berlin crisis.
The Secretary sent a letter
to Chairman Mills of the House
Ways and Means Committee,
saying President Kennedy had
authorized his appeal for ac-
ton at this session.
Mr.. Dillon reaffirmed his
assertion that the Federal
budget can be balanced in the
fiscal year 1868, starting next
July /, without any increase in
taxes if the international situa-
ton does not become worse.
Incentives Vital
But incentives for industry
to invest in new and modern
lied plants and equipment are
vital to the economic growth
which will produce the stepped
up revenues on which a return
to balanced budgets depends,
Mr.. Dillon said.
The recommended means to
achieve that is liberalization
of depreciation allowances. Mr..
Dillon said the immediate tax
loss from that move should be
offset by revenue increases
from such measures as the
closure of loopholeS. He said
the program provides for
changes which would Improve
and strengthen the tax sys-
tenn" over the long run.
The depreciation device ap-
proved by the Ways and Means
Committee is a credit against
1861 income taxes amounting
to 8 per cent of the money
spent for new plant and equip
ment, with certain limitations.
$500 Million Reduction
"The tentative decisions on
these proposals recently an
nounced by your committee
would involve a net revenue re-
duction of about $500 Million"
Mr.. Dillon wrote.
Il would urge that your final
consideration Of this legislation
provide an approximate balance
in overall revenue effect, pref
erably through the addition on
further revenue-raising meas
ures implementing the Presi-
dents recommendations on
closing loopholes. :"
The plugging of loopholes, he
went on, should include pos
sible revision of the special tax
concessions enjoyed by mutual
savings banks and savings and
loan associations, "or if need
be through a small reduction
in the 8 per cent level of the
investment credit, or perhaps
through some combination of
both"

Fec Acts
AsCensor

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 tAP).-
Newton N. Minow said today
that the Federal Communica-
tions Commission, in keeping a
close watch on broadcast prac-
tices, is not engaged in censor
ship.
Rather, the FEC chairman
said, the regulatory agency has
the authority and duty to con-
slider a nations programming
to see if the public interest is
being served.
And, in a speech prepared
for the Conference on Freedom
and Responsibility at the
Northwestern University School
of Law, Mr.. Minow turned the
censorship argument against
certain broadcasting practices.
He said the censorship he
was speaking of takes two
forms: Rating censorship and
dollar censorship.
Under the first, Mr.. Minow
said, by always striving for the
largest possible audience in
order to attract and. hold the
mass advertising dollar, the
public interest can be trampled.
Gives Example
AS an example, Mr.. Minow
gave a stations rejecting a
network-supplied informative
program for a commercial pro-
gram designed to get a better
rating. ,.
Under what he called dollar
censorship, Mr.. Minow said
"the broadcast licenSee simply
abdicates his own judgment
and turns programming deci-
sions over to an advertiser or
his agency"
Mr.. Minow said the results
can be as serious as rating
races" or downright silly" He
gave as examples:
"The Civil War drama, The
Andersonville Trial. came up
on camera as The Trial Of Cap
tain Wirtz' because the adver-
tising agency wanted to dis
guiSe the fact in the South that
this was going to be Anderson
Vile
LincOln's Name Out
Whats more the agency
nudged out President Lincoln's
name because Chrysler spon-
sored the program"
Mr.. Minow cited legislative
history to document his argu-
ment that the FEC does not
censor.
II believe that the commits
sion clearly does not censor
anything" Mr.. Minow said.
". . We never view a program
in advance Of broadcast and
prevent its being seen by the
public"
He said the commission
would not surrender its efforts
for the public interest and he
was sure he would have the
support of almost all the
broadcasters."

State College
Downs Morgan
AT Homecoming

In a Homecoming game with
Miss Joan Jackson from Mills
boro, Delaware, reigning as
Miss Delaware State College,
the Delaware State Hornets de-
feated the Morgan State Bears,
6-3.
The game played in a driving
rain at times will go down as
one of the classics played on
the Eastern Shore. Neither team
scored in the first quarter. Late
in the second quarter, quarter
back Jimmy Strong, Atlanta,
Ca, of DISC, punted to the 25
yard line of Morgan, and half
back William Kelly, Philadel-
phia, Pa, returned the punt to
his own 35. From that point
Morgan started a drive which
saw halfbacks Eugene Smalley,
Paulsboro, NJ, and Oliver Dob
bins, Philadelphia, Pa, doing
much of the running. A key
pass play from quarterback Car
mie Pompey, Baltimore, Md, to
end William Tinker, Baltimore,
Md, for IL yards enabled Nor
gan to drive to the A yard line
of DISC. With a fourth down
situation at that point, halfback
Raymond Horn, Chicago, kicked
a field goal to put Morgan out
front 80.
Delaware State came roaring
back following a short kickoff
which gave DISC the ball on its
own As. Four running plays
thereafter, DISC had the ball on
Morgan's A yard line. From
that point quarterback Irwin
Heath; Philadelphia, rolled out
and tossed a pass which was
DETECTED by Dobbins of Nor
gan into the hands of halfback
Basil Gilfillian, Darby, Penna.,
who caught the ball around the
Morgan 20 and scampered the
rest of the way for a touch
down as the clock ran out. The
run for the conversion failed,
and the score at the half was
SO, DISC.
The second half was score
less, but produced much good
football with both teams threat
ening. Late in the fourth quar-
ter Morgan penetrated to the
IA yard line of DISC. With an
overcast sky which was becom-
ing darker at that moment, half
back Horn went back once
more to try a field goal. How
ever, his attempted field goal
was blocked by end Evander
Duck, Asbury Park, N. j., who
also caught the ball and return
ed it to the 81 yard line of
DISC. The game then ended a
few minutes later with the final
score, Delaware State 6, Nor
gan 3.

Hens to Entertain Ohio University
In Homecoming Clash at Newark

The University of Delaware
Blue Hens return to action Sat
urday after a two-week break
when they entertain Ohio Uni
versity in a Homecoming clash
at Delaware Stadium.
Coach Dave Nelson's Hens
appear to be at near-peak
strength for what promises to
be one of the. seasons most
memorable games. All perform
ers injured in the Hofstra dis
astar will be back, and along
with them will come quarter
back Gary Herbert, victim of a
knee injury in the opening
game. Herbert, of Needham,
Mass, is a senior triple-threat
who will add to Delaware's run
ming strength. He'll have to win
back his job fro mincumbent
Ted Kempski, Wilmington, but
the prospect of depth at quar-
terback is a refreshing one.
The Hens, 81 on the season,
are currently engaged in hard
drills in preparation for Satur-
days reception. They'll have to
be good, for Ohio will bring a
large squad of big men conf
dent and poised after a con-
vincing 28-18 win over highly
regarded Miami of Ohio last
week. The upset made the Bob
cats season mark 30; they've
also beaten Toledo and Dayton
while losing to Kent State and
Xavier. Their conference, the
Mid-American, is a tough one
that includes major colleges and
formidable minor powers among
its members.
on was the nations number
one small college power last
year, driving to perfect 100
record. They're classified major
for the 81 season, and have a
squad to justify this point of
recognition. Leaders are full
back Otis Wagner, the Bobcats
top ground-gainer; halfback Jim
Pontuti; quarterback and pass
ing threat Bob Babbitt, and
linemen Ted Stute and Allen
Miller. Wagner, Stute and Mil
Ter are tri-captains.
Coach Bill Hess felines use
both the Winged-T and the or
thodix-T, with an unbalanced
line up front. Their offensive
forte has been rushing, and
their defensive unit has built
up a reputation as a passing
attack nemesis. The team has
also displayed an opportunistic
strain, capitalizing frequently on
opponent fumbles and wayward
passes.
The big game is scheduled to
start at 2 p. m. Probably start
ing lineup for Ohio: John Trev-
