Unrest in Georqiu

The underlying principles
which are responsible for the
unrest in Terrell County,
Georgia, are no different
than the underlying princi-
Piles which led to the Ameri-
can Revolution, the Declare
ton Of Independence and

United States. It has sim
ply taken the Negroes in Ter
rell County longer to muster
the courage, the strength
and the determination to de-
mand these principles.
The unrest in Georgia
points very definitely to the
fact that Negroes there have
developed q new and deeper
appreciation Of the demo-
cratic way Of life as advo-
Gated by the IS Colonies.
The Negroes in Georgia
have come to recognize the

Land Scandals
Seen BREWING
In Maryland
BY the Associated Press

A conservation expert claims
that scandals are brewing in
Maryland as a result of a new
land assessment law.
The comment was made by
William H. Whyte, jr., author
of a report that Connecticut
Is using as a blueprint in seek
ing open spaces legislation.
Mr.. Whyte, a former editor
Of Fortune Magazine who has
devoted himself to conserva-
ton causes in recent years,
urged that Connecticut avoid
mistakes made in Maryland.
Connecticut is contemplating
a law that would use preferen-
tial tax assessments to reward
landowners who leave large
tracts in a natural state.
This law would be part of a
long range open spaces" pro-
gram intended to preserve the
natural beauty of the State.
At a meeting of the Con-
necticut Association of Soil and
Water Conservation Districts
yesterday, Mr.. Whyte said as
many safeguards as possible
are being written into the bill
that would provide preferential
tax assessments for open space
land.
In Maryland, he said, the
State Constitution provide S
that land can be assessed &C
cording to its use, even if its
true market value is higher.
Real estate spectators are
making a farce Of the law
he said.
He explained that specula-
tors will buy a piece of land
with the intention of subdivid-
ing it for real estate purposes
To take advantage of a lower

Agrees Personally
In declaring Mr.. Miller'S
book obscene, Judge Shure
agreed with expert witnesses
who testified last October that
the book seemed obscene to
them. The judge said:
This member of the court
has also read the book and
additionally feels that he, as
a resident of Montgomery
County for the past AZ
years, is somewhat familiar
with community standards.
While have not made an in
dependent judicial judgement, I
completely agree that the
'Tropic of Cancer when judged
as a whole is obscene :"
Judge Shure said further
that a certain word land
thoughts thereof" run like a
sewer" through Mr.. Miller's
book. He also used the terms
"putrid and slime" in refer
ring to the volume.

until the time is ripe to begin
subdividing, he said, such per-
sons often lease the land to a
farmer and thus the land quail
ifies as farmland for taxation
purposes.
II expect that within the
next year some very explosive
and harmful scandals are go-
ing to come out of this situa-
tion," Mr.. Whyte said.
Land SPECTATORS who have
figured out the loopholes have
turned preferential assessments
into a windfall," he said.
One Of the safeguards in the
proposed Connecticut law, Mr..
Whyte said, is a provision for
a tax deferral system that
would enable towns to recap
ture four years of back taxes
when land that has been as
sessed at the open spaces rate
is converted to other uses.

For the second time In a year
a circuit court judge in Mont
gomery County has ruled
"Tropic of Cancer" by Henry
Miller is obscene and should be
barred from the county's library
shelves. The Judge compared
the book to a sewer.
In an opinion handed in to-
day, Judge Ralph G. Shure re-
peated his ruling Of November,
1861, that the controversial VOL
ume lis predominantly an APP
peal to prurient interests"
Judge Shure was ordered last
July by the Maryland State
Court of Appeals to hold new
hearing on a petition from a
Silver Spring couple to have the
book reinstated in the county
pubic libraries.
The high court ruling of last
summer instructed Judge Shure
to hear expert testimony on the
literary merits of the Miller
book and on the question of its
possible obscenity. The second
hearing was held last October.
Reaffirms Points
In his action today Judge
Shure reaffirmed the two
points that he had stipulated
last year when he denied the
petition of Aaron M. and Bar
bara Levine of $50 Sixteenth
street, Silver Spring.
Judge Shure again ruled
that County Manager Mason
Butcher was within the scope
of his authority" in banning
'"Tropic of Cancer" from the
public library system after
county library officials had
purchased the book for use by
adults only.
On the question of obscenity,
Judge Shure said that he was
applying the standard test de-
termined in recent years by
the United States Supreme
Court. BY this legal measuring
stick, obscenity is to be de-
termined by applying CON

LAS VEGAS, New, Dec. 8
(AP) .-Welterweight Champion
Emile Griffith hung onto his
middleweight title tonight aft
er a tumultouous ninth round
in which he scored a technical
Knockout over Jorge Fernandez
of Argentina on a low blow
that left the crowd in the Las
Vegas Convention Cented in an
unroar.
The champion from New
York was awarded the fight
when the challenger decided he
could not continue after being
felled by a blow to the groin.
Under the Nevada regula-
tons, when a fight is ended by
an accidental punch of this
sort, the fighter ahead on
points receives the victory.
After eight rounds, Referee
Harry KrauSe had Griffith
ahead by three points. Judge
John Romero had it even and
the other judge, Bill Stremmel,
had the champion in front by
three points.
Griffith caught Fernandez
with a savage right that was
officially labelled low. 1t ap-
parently hit him on the pro-
tective cup.
Fernandez crumpled quickly
to the mat and rolled over in
obvious agony.
The challenger's handlers
stormed into the ring as referee
Krause hesitated.
Griffith retreated to his cor
ner and then a stormy scene
developed in the ring.
At one stage the fallen fight
er was completely alone as his
manager, frankie Jacobs, and
chief handler, Chickie Ferrara,
rushed to the side of the ring
to argue with Jim Deskin,
chairman Of the Nevada Boxing
Commission.
Deskin had to pull out his
rule book and thumb through
the chapters as the crowd kept
up an uproar and Fernandez
remained PROSTATE.
