Montgomery County Republicans
Moue to Ne,U Kensington Home

The focal point of Republi-
can activity in Montgomery
County shifted from Silver
Spring to Kensington this
week, as the party occupied
new permanent quarters at
10545 Metropolitan ave.
The changeover from the
former quarters at 933 Gist ave.
in Silver Spring to the converted
dwelling in Kensington will pro-
vide expanded facilities at a
more centralized location in the
county, according to Esther
Fleishell, executive secretary to
the county's Republican State
Central Committee, who will
maintain a full.time office in
the new building.
The first floor of the new
quarters consists of five rooms

would have time to plan for
his duty. AT present it is pos
sible that a citizen may get no
tification of duty on a Friday
ordering him to report on Mon.
day.
Some in the County feel the
commission should be composed
of representatives of the clerk
of the circuit courts office, the
assignment commissioners Of
flee and the bar association.
The group could also include a
judge if a judge wished to work
on it.
Many judges sitting on the
bench today would like to know
more about the people they are
selecting. Are they of good NOR
al character? Have they got po-
lice records? Are they respon-
sible, honest people? In order
for any changes to take place,
the circuit court judges will
have to agree and then convey
their wishes to the legislature.
The legislature is the only one
who can take action. Until that
time, these questions will re.
main unanswered.

jury System
Adequacy Poses
Modern Question
BY Barry Allen

| Some of the circuit court
judges feel that it is a difficult
time-consuming job to pick out
the registered voters from both
parties. To select the best posi-.
Bile people is practically an i'm
possibility, because the Judge
does not know enough about
the people. He may also lean
more to members of his own
party, though he is not trying to
be partial, because these are the
only ones he does know. 1t used
to be that the clerk of the cir.
cult court and his deputies, as
well as the judge knew every.
one in the county. Now this is
not the case.
Because the judges presently
select their jurors in what has
been called hit-or-miss propo-
sition, several members of the
bench feel change is neces-
sary.
One idea suggested was the
inaugurating of jury commits.
sion in the county. Some of the
judges feel that a jury commits.
sion would have more time to
investigate prospective jurors
and therefore be better qualified
in determining the best people
to serve.
The District of Columbia has
such system. The District pro-
vides for one jury commissioner
and three commission members.
These people make and preserve
a record of the list of names to
be placed in the jury box 70 be
drawn.
In Baltimore County, prospec-
tive jurors are questioned with
respect to their Fitness and
qualifications" for jury service
by the court.
The City of Baltimore has the
judges of the Supreme Yench,
or a majority of them, meet
each and every year to select
jurors from a list provided by
the City Treasurer of taxable
male inhabitants { in the case
of the grand jury). The remain.
ing names are placed into a
drawing wheel to be picked.
In Montgomery County, the
judges alternate from term to
term the selection of jurors.
And yet in the State Code it
states that the selection of
jurors is not essentially a ju.
dicial function"

Office For Congressman
Montgomery County sentinel., 1961-01-12

| Is montgomery COuntyS
selection of jurors antiquated?
The right of every man to a
trial by jury has been a part of
I the democratic process for hum
dreds of years. But the grow
ing population and the in
creased complexities of the due
process of law have resulted in
I a new appraisal of the old jury
selection system.
In order to fully understand
the situation, it is necessary to
investigate the law, the systems
LOT other areas and the sug-
| Egested ideas for change.
The Maryland Code, affecting
Montgomery County, states
that the Circuit Court Judges
shall select the jurors from the
various election districts with
specific reference to "intelli-
gencc, sobriety and integrity"
In the Sixth Judicial Circuit,
which includes Montgomery
County, the number Of jurors
placed in the box, to be picked
at random by a deputy clerk
OF the circuit court, is fixed by
law. The number is based on
the population of the election
district.
The court selects around 500
names from all 13 election dis
tricts for possible jury duty.
Each jury panel now sits for
five-week sessions. In March,
the iuries will only be required
to sit three weeks before they
are discharged.
There are usually 45 jurors
TO panel. Each panel is
divided into two separate seq
ments of % or % jurors. Each
panel is assigned to a case with
the left overs from these going
to third case. The left overs
are determined from the jurors
challenged or excused from
other cases.
The State has the right to
challenge 10 jurors and the de-
fense 20 jurors in a criminal
trial. In the case of civil trial,
there are 20 jurors and each
size has the right to strike
four. In case there are any
/ jurors left over after the strik-
ling, the judge can arbitrarily re-
move them.
The grand jury is drawn
from box containing 160
names. The first % names
taken from the box comprise
the grand jury, which is select.
ed semi-annually for five-10-day
terms. After the first % names
ere drawn the rest are divided
into three panels for the petit
jury.
The court is the only one who
can excuse the jurors. Jurors
may be excused if they are
opinionated, opposed to capital
punishment in a case involving
capital punishment, or pre-
JUDGED.
With judges having to hear
cases, write opinions and dc re-
search among their other duties,
the question is raised, are the
judges selecting the most COM
petent and qualified citizens for
jury duty?
Many may argue that the fact
the judge knows little about a
citizen increases his impair
tiality. Others may say that in
order to obtain more represen-
tative substantial citizens, it is
necessary to know more about
them.

Ben-Hur Scores InltFirst Night

The film 'tBen4Hur" currently playing at the Orpheum Theatre lives up to its advance notices as an unusual movie, spectacular in it's treatment of an age-old Biblical theme, the birth of Christ, and how this event affects the lives of the people living in that generation.
 There are exciting moments throughout the movie, but the mounting excitement during the chariot race is conveyed to the au- dience in the bursting speed of the beautiful horses, the cramped arena and the conflict between Ben-Hur, played superbly by Charl- ton HeSton, and his onetime friend, Messala, played by Stephen Boyd.
 Excellent performances were turned in by Jack Hawkins, Haya Harareet, Hugh Griffith, an d Martha Scott. Breathtaking photo graphy throughout was beautifully reproduced on the local screen.

Seeks Advise Of Alaskan Pilots

Alaskan aircraft owners and op- orators will have chance to teH their problems directly to Wash ington FAA officials during a unique conference in Anchorage May 19. The meeting, one of six "Air-Share" sessions throughout the United States, will be at the z. J. Loussac library at 100 p. m, and FOO p. m, according to George Weitz, chief of the Federal Avia- ton Agency's Region Five Flight Standards Field Division.
 Sponsored by the Bureau of Flight Standards in Washington, the sessions are being held to give local airmen an opportunity to air their views and share the benefits concerning possible regulations.
 Washington officials who will come to Anchorage to direct the conference include George c. Pril1, deputy director of the Bureau of Flight Standards and George D. Childress, of the Flight Standards safety regulations division.
 Air-Share conferences are unique according to FAA officials, in that this is probably the first time a government agency has made studied effort to go out into the field and seek the views of others. The objective is to take the problems of flying in the 1960s di- rectly to the people most concerned and get their advice on practical solutions, according to oscar Bakke, Flight Standards bureau director.
 FAA is urging individuals within flying distance of Anchorage to sound out views al their home air. ports and bring those views to the meetings as representatives from their areas. A cross-section of stu dents, sportsmen flyers, air taxi
 operators, and proprietors of fly ing schools are expected to attend
