paupers law applies here to
prevent such procedures.
The judge ordered Nathan
H. Alexander, "a, released from
Lorton.
Alexander was sentenced in
Municipal Court last December
to 80 days in jail and fined
$500 for vagrancy. Under an
other District statute, Alex
ander was required to spend an
additional 180 days in jail il
he couldn't pay the fine. He
was not able to pay the fine,
and the additional Jail time
went into effect.
However, Robert E. L. Rich
ardSon, a graduate law student
appointed under a legal intern
program to defend the penni-
less Alexander, started the ha-
beaS corpus proceeding which
resulted in Alexander's release
today.
Called Unconstitutional
Arguing before Judge Nc
Guire, he sought Alexander
release on grounds that the
additional Jail term was illegal
because it permitted the SEN
fencing judge to impose more
than the maximum legal SEN
tence for vagrancy, which is 80
days.
The lawyer said this amounted
to Imprisonment for debt, argu-
ing the additional Jail time was
unconstitutional.
In citing the Federal paupers
law, Judge Mcclure did not
rule on the constitutional issue.
Under this law no one may
be jailed more than 80 days in

Of 1868, the time limit set by agree
ment between former President
Eisenhower and King Mohammed
v in December, 1859, several con-
flicting factors are being consid-
cred by both United State and
Moroccan officials. State Depart
ment officials feel that the most
faithful way to follow President
Kennedy's policy Of encouraging
African and Asian governments in
their efforts to remain independ-
ent of East or West would be to
evacuate the bases as quickly as
possible. But many Air Force and
Navy officials feel the US. should
hold the bases, as one Strategic
Air Command officer put it, right
up to the last minute" He added,
IF we move out, the Soviets are
likely to move in" Officially, King
Hassan II is committed by his late
fathers agreement to respect the
1868 deadline.
Unofficially, some members Of
his government would like to see
the bases handed over before the
deadline in line with Morocco's
neutralist foreign policy, and the
Kings desire to establish training
centers to which Morocco and
other African countries could send
personnel for needed technical edu-
cation at the base sites. On the
other hand, Morocco must weigh
the fact that in light of chronic
under-employment, the jobs OF
some 3,400 Moroccan base employ

ated 5000 people.
These workers, many Of whom
have learned or are learning use

Moroccan agency. In addition
some 1000 Moroccans find privat'
employment as part or full-tim'
handymen, club employees, or dom

BALTIMORE, July Is (AP).
THE chairman of the Mary
land Republican Party yester-
day accused Gov. Tawes of
ehicanery in proposing a new
congressional district and of
fiscal shenanigans with the
sales tax.
D. Eldred Rinehart, in q
statement at q meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Re-
publican State Central Com
slittee, called attention to next
years elections.
Mr.. Rinehart said the plan
by Democratic leaders ap-
proved by the 1861 Legislature
to create the States 9Th Con-
gressional District out of Prince
Georges and Howard Counties
was "a blatant attempt to in
sure the election Of another
Representative by our opposi-
tion party"
Halls Referendum Move
Democrats registered in the
two counties far outnumber the
Republicans.
1T is highly encouraging to
note that public minded citi-
Zens of our state are taking
steps to have this Grass Chi
canery submitted to q public
referendum" the Republican
chairman said,
The act creating the new
district out of Prince Georges
and Howard was forced to a
popular vote next year by the
filing Of petitions, circulated
for signatures primarily by the
League of Women Voters.
Mr.. Rinehart's attribution of
fiscal shenanigans to Gov.
Tawes referred to lowering Of
the starting point Of the sales
tax from 81 to Is cents and ex-
tending it to restaurant meals
costing more than 81.
Hits Saving of Surplus
I" At a time when the eco
nomic condition of Maryland's
wage earners cried out for
financial relief in the form of
a tax reduction" Mr.. Rinehart
said, Gov. TaweS extended the
sales tax instead of utilizing a
surplus of more than $40 mil
lion in the state treasury.
"Was our Governor saving
the surplus so that he would
not have to raise taxes during
an election year? His maneuver
was too premeditated. too OBJ
vious and too heartless for
there to be any other answer
