Court Asked
To Void Suit
On Andrews

The Secretary of the Air
Force today asked District
Court to dismiss a suit brought
by Is property owners near
Andrews Air Force Base who
object to military flights over
their homes.
The suit. filed by lawyer
Charles Halleck, asks the court
to award compensation for use
by the Air Force of the air space
over the nearby homes. or to
issue an injunction to prevent
the flights.
The property owners, who live
within a mile of the main
north-south system of runways,
contend noisy takeoffs and
landings have lowered their
property values and have caused
'annoyances.
The Air Force, in a motion
filed today. argued that the
suit fails to state a valid claim
that the plaintiffs have a valid
remedy elsewhere and that the
wrong party was sued.
The motion, filed by Justice
Department lawyer Thomas L.
McKevitt. contends that no law
requires the Secretary of the
Air Force to condemn "aviga-
'tion rights" over the homes.
The Secretary of the Air
Force argues the suit in Dis
.trict Court should be thrown
out because the proper defend
ant would be the United States,
which is immune from suit,
rather than the Air Force chief.
The Secretary also contends
the property owners should have
filed for compensation for use
of the air space with the Court
of Claims, rather than the Dis
trict Court. An attached paper
shows such suit was filed De-
'cember 6.
In papers filed in the Court
of Claims case. the residents
said that flights disturbed sleep,
made some residents nervou,
cracked platter and created the
hazard of crashes.
The property owners said
that planes appear ito barely
miss the tops of the trees" The
noise, the residents c. md, is
startling" Also. the. said,
night landing lights cause a
glare"

DIGS JAZZ, BUT
Subtle Sitor Moves Indian

Raw Shankar, the sitar play
er, says he digs American jazz
but he likes the ancient music
OF India better.
Mr.. Shankar said yesterday
ne knows American jazz and is
even friends with John Col
trane. the progressive tenor
sax player.
Our music Is similar because
We both improvise and use ex-
citing rhythms." he said.
But there, he insisted. the
similarity ends.
Indian music is more irtellec-
;ual, Mr.. Shankar explained. 1t
consists mostly of melody, with
little harmony, and has great
'ange of tones, half tones and
nicrotones too subtle to be
noted properly or paper he
said, The music must be learned
oy ear.
Mr.. Shankar is a small, quick
man with touSled dark hair who
can withdraw into a world of
pure sounds and feelings with a
flick of the sitar string
The sitar, not to be confused
with the guitar (sitar is pro-
nounced with the accent on
the ID, consists of long hollow
stem Of teakwood with a
wooden reSonatcr at one end. a
godrd at the other and 10
strings between. six for melody
ard the others for background.
Mr.. Shankar, who composed
the score for the film trilogy,
''Pather Panchali, will play the
instrument tonight at $3.50 at
the National Education ASSo-
citation, 1901 Sixteenth street

He will be accompanied by
two other musicians, Kanai
Dutta on the tabla, q percussion

Several other witnesses, in
cludin2 Phineas Indritz, rep
resenting the American Vet
erans Committee. said the
county could not remain
neutral on discrimination mat
tiers. He said that If the coun-
Gil does not pass an anti
discrimination law, it would
really be sanctioning discrim-
ination. Under present law,
he said, the county Uses its
police powers to arrest Negroes
who try to get service in segre-
gated establishments.
Mrs. Mary Y. Williams, presi-
dent Of the county's chapter of
the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People, said the law was nee
eSsary because voluntary de-
segregation has not moved fast
enough in Montgomery.
Mrs. Williams said the force
OF law must be used to elimi-
nate discrimination because ef-
forts at persuasion and con-
ciliation have failed in most
instances.
Opponents Heard
Speaking against the pro-
posed law was Mrs. Thelma

Man Is Slain
In Baltimore
PoliticuICIub

BALTIMORE. Dec. Is (AP).
"A gunman shot down and
killed Louis P. Pittore, "a, early
today. Mr.. Pittore's brother,
Alfred. is on trial in Annapolis
on charge of kidnapping.
y Police said the shooting of
Louis apparently was the out
growth of personal feud be-
tween him and another man
and had no connection with the
kidnapping trial.
They said they were holding
a 31-year-old man for ques-
tioning.
Patrolmen John Drexel and
Charles Quick said they were
called to the Bolton Democratic
Club and found Mr.. Pittore on
the floor. They drew their guns
to search the club when a man
shouted:
Don't shoot, I'm out of
bullets. Here's the gun"
They said the man came
down a flight of stairs and
handed them a revolver. The
officials said they found a knife
with a 12-inch-long blade con-
cealed under Mr.. Pittore's belt.
Police said the man they held
for questioning told them he
had received threatening tele-
phone calls earlier.
In Annapolis, the KIDNAPPING
trial of Alfred Pittore neared
its conclusion. He is charged
with kidnapping Earl L. Fifer

This book is demonstration of the
development and refinement of the
axiom that the more mature and adult
thinking person becomes the more
liberal will be his philosophy. Con-
servatism is only a vestige of child
hood which manifests itself so often
in persons who have never fully COIN

of conservative thought can be likened
