Gordon Leon Contee, SEN
fenced to a life term when he
was convicted Of rape a year
ago in Montgomery County Cir
cult Court, is again in the
shadow Of the Maryland gas
chamber.
The reason - ironically is
that he won his appeal from
the conviction. The State Court
Of Appeals has ordered q new
trial.
States Attorney Leonard T.
Hardy said the case will be
tried again in February. He
said the new trial ''leaves the
door open for q possible death
penalty"
The Court Of Appeals re-
versed the first conviction after
deciding the trial court erred
in rejecting q defense request
that jurors be questioned about
possible racial prejudice.
Contee, q 24-year-old Negro,
was found guilty last Decem-
Der Of raping q 25-year-old
white mental patient at knife
point in q Rockville apartment
while q nurse leaked on.
Claims Consent
I'm innocent" Contee said
before he was sentenced. THE
police know I am innocent"
At the trial, the defendant
admitted being in the apart
ment with the two girls, but
maintained his relations with
the victim were with her con-
sent.
The trial last year turned
into q near-riot when Contee
lost control Of himself in the
courtroom after the jury re-
turned its guilty verdict.
He jumped up. failing his
arms, and screamed, Sentence
me now =. kill me now"
In the ensuing melee, Mel
win w. Smith. Contee's half
brother, darted from q group
Of courtroom spectators and
struck q policeman who was
restraining the defendant.
Smith was convicted Of as
sault in Rockville Peoples
Court and sentenced to q year
in the Maryland House Of
Correction.

up Of the population Of con-
gressional districts.
One Of the touchy issues in
volved is that to divide the
districts up with some SEM
blance Of population equality
would mean taking away one
.of Baltimore City's congress
sional seats; in which case the
squawks of the political bosses
from the port city would be
loud enough to be heard from
the Alleghenies to the lower
Chesapeake Bay.
One group which Gov. Tawes
has taken little pains to pla-
cate is the Maryland State
Teachers Association. The
teachers have been vigorously
seeking o big chunk of State
money for salaries but they
claim that Gov. Tawes just
gives them bones. There's not
much In the way Of teacher
salary increases In the Gov
ernor's budget for next year,
either.
But on another issue the
Governor has mollified the
lS,0O0-member teacher asso-
ciation somewhat. That's the
Warfield Commission proposal
to turn State teachers col
leges into branches Of the
University Of Maryland.
Put on . Year
The teacher association, as
well as the State Board of Edu-
cation and State Supt. Thomas
@. Pullen. is strongly opposed
to the Warheld plan. Gov;
Tawes, who at first indicated
he would push the Warfield
plan at this session. has now
put 1t Of for at least q year
pending further study by the
Legislative Council.
| II the Governor and his leg.
islative heutenants can keep
things calm and on an even
keel during the long legislative
session Of 1861, political pros
poets for 1862 viii be looking UP.
But then. there are some leg
islators who don't like tax in
creases-even small ones, and
some who like big increases for
teachers, and some who won't
see eye to eye on any kind of
reapportionment, and some who
don't like anything. And II
someone drops . bill into the
Southern Maryland slot ma
chine issue, it's hard to tell who
will come out ahead.
Evening star., 1961-01-01

the State brass was doing as
much personal politiking as
Kennedy campaigning.
The tax boost Gov. Tawes Is
expected to recommend Is ex-
pansion Of the sales tax by low
Iering its starting point from 81
cents to around 81 cents and
Applying it to restaurant meals
which are now exempt. This
would produce an extra $40 mil-
Ilion or more 9 year, 1t Is esti-
mated.
j Most legislative leaders don't
think there win be too much
lpublic reaction to this expan-
sion Of the sales tax, and what
squawks there are probably win
have died out by election time
1862.
4 Aid Approved
The Governor also has taken
q good deal Of the starch out
lof county demands for more
taxing authority by agreeing
Ito increase State aid for educa-
Ition and welfare programs by
about $S.5 million next year.
With his eye on the big
votes Of the suburban counties.
Gov. Tawes also is hoping the
Legislature win go along this
year with q reapportionment
of the General Assembly seats.
The sound and fury from the
lbig counties in growing louder
; in Annapolis and the threats to
take the reapportionment issue
to the polls in the State elec-
tions Of 1862 are becoming
more frequent.
The reapportionment plan
, favored by Gov. Tawes is the
. mild Walsh Bill which was de-
, feated last year. II he can gel
lit through the Legislature thi,
! time, 1t might placate the bic
counties for q while and might
: not upset the rural ones toe
) much. In fact. there Is some
! feeling among rural legislator,
that maybe they should take
the Walsh plan rather thar
face the prospect Of a more
! radical revision of Assembly
: seats at Q later date.
The Governor and Legislative
leaders also are hoping there
won't be Q big fight over re.
drawing congressional district,

AS President Kennedy begins

cial leadership is being dues-
toned. our military and
political might is no longer

However, there is no COM
parison betwee n conditions
then and now.
Here is an indication Of the
brilliance Of the changes.

II you're an average family,
your income has risen 70 per

II your family Is in the
$5.000-s10.000 income range,
you have 1875 million counter

If your family's income is
under $4,000, you're in q minor
ity Of less than one in four
and there's a good chance you
have non-caSh, assets which
help raise your standard.
When President Roosevelt
spoke Of "one-third of q Ma
tion." he was referring pri-
marily to city families. What
about the conditions. of the
typical city family now?
According to a recent Bureau
OF Labor Statistics study of the
budget of . four-person city

does provide for adequate liv-
ing according to today's stand
ards I, of what is needed for
health, efficiency. fun, etc.
BIS Estimates
Also according to BIS esti-
mates. the average income of
this type Of family is $1,000 to
81 500 a year - meaning that
the typical city family Of four
with only one wage-earner has
an income Is to 20 per cent
more than is necessary to main
tain an adequate standard. The
two. or three person family with
this income would have much
greater leeway. the five-mem-
Der or larger family would OBJ
viously have much less.
OF course, what we have
achieved is far from the ideal,
and I know no one who pre-
tends it Is.
No comment is needed on the
plight of the 5 milhon-plus
now jobless and their families!
Mr.. Kennedy cannot move too
soon to help get the economy
back on the upSwing. aid the
chronically distressed cities.
. But it is proper to salute
ourselves for slashing that one
third to q minor fraction. And
it Is, right that we rededicate
ourselves now to wiping out
the remaining fraction entirely
