The suit was filed in Circuit

He requested the court to
prevent sale of $950,000 of

In his brief, Mr.. Alexander
declared that the school board

Negligence or Deceit"
THE failure of the school
board was due to the gross
negligence of the school board

The result of such failure Is

and a clearer definition of
what constitutes neglected
child" so that welfare officials
could take prompter action
against parents.
The commission said it be-
lieves welfare money for de-
pendent children sometimes
contributes to illegitimacy lin
that it can discourage marriage
and promote separation by pro-
viding a source Of economic
security for those natural
parents with little or no mark
etable job skills to command
stable employment. 1t further
contributes to illegitimacy by
allowing children to live in
homes where promiscuity and
non-conforming patterns of
family life become the accepted
standards of living for the
children to emulate"
Changes Status
The legislation approved by
the Legislative Council would
remove bastardy from criminal
law and make it a civil pro-
ceeding.
Under the present Mary
land law, determination of a
bastard's paternity is inciden~
tai to what is in effect a Grim
inal charge of fornication
brought against the father,
with a probation order to con-
tribute to the child's main
tenance being the usual alter
native to a two-year prison
term" the commission said.
1t said that the State must
prove beyond a reasonable
doubt" that the defendant is
guilty and lin so doing is re-
stricted by technicalities of the
criminal law"
The proposed law, which will
be introduced at the February
session of the General As
smbly, provides that paternity
may be established by evi-
dence so clear, satisfactory and
convincing as to raise in the
mind of a reasonable and un-
prejudiced person a natural

this recommendation declaring
that it would give public and
official approval of fornication,

The majority report said

the woman said had arranged
to meet her later Thursday on
a Pascagoula street corner.
Gibson quoted the woman
as saying the men offered her

she was to give them $500 as
security until she returned
from the bank with the de-

Police arrived at the rem

men with fake money and a
note concerning the alleged
$4,000.
The $4,000 supposedly in the

said they were being held for

she became suspicious when
