Special Assembly Session
Sought on Redistrictinq

The Prince Georges unit of
the Maryland Committee for
Fair Representation last night
called for a special session of the
General Assembly to deal with
congressional rediStricting, re-
apportionment and the unit sys-
tenn of voting.
The groups position was a
counter-propoSal to a move of
the Montgomery County League
of Women Voters for a referen-
dunn on the redistricting bill
passed at the recent session of
the General Assembly.
The action may set the stage
for a fight tonight when rep

Leaders of the Montgomery
unit have expressed approval

movement.
Mrs. Bess B. Lavine. chair

calling a special session of the

O'Neill said.

She (their mother) wanted

but I didn't think it was right, "
the grandmother said. II did
the best I could for them"
Mrs. Proctor, widowed in
1882, said she currently earns
$42.75 a week as an elevator
operator at the Smithsonian
Institution, a job she has held
for three years. She, her two
grandsons, and five other rela-
tives, live in a neat bungalow
just over the District line in
Prince Georges County.
The house is about 10 blocks
from the elementary school
police have charged the 19-
year-old with trying to burn
down.
The grandmother said school
had always been a problem for
James. He failed two consecu-
tive years-the first and second
grades-and left during the
eighth grade at 16.
Mrs. Proctor indicated she
thinks something wrong" with
James head" may have played
part in her grandson'S alleged
activities last Sunday.
AS evidence of this, she re-
called the boys strange fond
ness for rain. "He always said
(rain) was his birthmark," she
said. "He said he must have
been born when it was raining" "
Mrs. Proctor said her grand
son lust loved to travel (walk)
in the rain" She said he some
times would get up at night and
60 out just to be in the rain.

Mrs. Proctor said her grand
son also was preoccupied some
times about his absent mother.
She said he worried about
having mo job, no mother"
HE worries because he Can't
see his mother and she don't

Mrs. Lavine said the major

The youth went to District
General Hospital to have his

George CauSey of the four
teenth precinct, and this was
entered on hospital records.
After the four-alarm fire at
Carver School, Forty-fifth and
Lee streets NE. on Sunday
night, Capt. Causey said, police
compiled a list of suspects with
Proctor's name included.
Blood Gave Clue
The trail of blood had been
seen by Pvt. Mccoy the night
WoodSon School was broken
into and Proctor's hospital
treatment was recorded on the
same night. Capt. Causey said.
That's how it happened that
Proctor received a visit at his
home yesterday from Four
teenth Precinct Detective Ben
jamin j. Chaplin and was
asked to come into the Dis
trict.
Capt. Causey said the youth
first admitted only that he had
turned in the alarm at Carver
but soon began telling the
whole story of the school burn
ing.
Proctor told a reporter for
The Star he set fire to the
school, causing about 100000
damage, because the "other
two with me needed me-"
Il knew better than that
Proctor said in the interview,

youth admitted the Woodson

detective drove him to the pre-
cinct.

implicated the other two boys,

sions were obtained in about an

has been made by the chair
man of the State committee.
Some leaders of the commit
tee feel, however, that associ-
ating the reapportionment
forces with the move for a
referendum may hurt chances
for gaining a reapportionment
of General Assembly seats if
the rediStricting referendum
fails.
Two other issues also have
been raised in the protest of
the suburban areas against
lack of representation in the
State Legislature. There has
been talk-although it has not
reached the serious stage yet
of putting the sales and Gig
arctic taxing measures on a
referendum as a protest
against taxation without rep
resentation."
Officials of the Committee
for Fair Representation are
checking the legality of putting
only part of the redistricting
bill to a referendum while leav-
ing in effect the portion which
repeals all of the existing dis
tricts.
