Appeals Court UphoIds
Maryland Savings Law

ANNAPOLIS, July 10 (AP) -
The Maryland Court of Appeals
ruled yesterday that the States
regulatory law for the savings
and loan industry is constitu-
tional.
The States highest court up
held rulings by the Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
County Circuit Courts which
ordered First Continental Saw
ings and Loan and FreeState
Savings and Loan Associations
into receivership.
The corporations argued that
the law, passed as an emer-
gency bill during a special ses-
sion of the General Assembly
in 1861, was unconstitutional
because a similar law was petit
toned to referendum. The
similar law, passed by the
regular 1861 session. had its
enforcement power delayed by
the referendum petition.
The ruling dashed the hopes
of several savings and loan
firms, which had been placed
in State receivership, of OPEN
ing their doors again.
Corporation attorneys argued
that the enactment of the
during a special ses-
sion was "a spacious attempt to
the constitution
right of referendum"
"The powers of the Maryland
legislature are plenary except
as restrained or confined by
the Federal or State constitu-
tions," the Court of Appeals
said. The court added:

There is no provision in the
Maryland Constitution forbid
ding the legislature to act on
the subject matter of a referred
law either during the period
between its referral and the
vote thereon, or after approval
or rejection by the voters"

orable obligation" to act on
the wishes of the majority of
G. o. P. voters living in Wash

This obligation stems from
a 1860 District primary, in
which Republicans voted three

local legislature.

serious offense, even though
probable cause for the charge
may exist when it appears that
further investigation may eS-
tablish that the person is in
nocent," Chief Murray con-
tinued. This situation often
arises when the probable cause
is a shaky Identification or the
statement of an unreliable
witness; and under such cir
cumstances the practice has
been to hold the accused per-
son for investigation until the
facts can be checked"
Reduced Number
I'm recent years, the Metro
politan Police have greatly re-
duced the number of arrests
for Investigations so that in
1861 such arrests represented
less than one per cent of the
total arrests made by the de-
partment," he said.
Il wish to emphasize that in
no case do the Metropolitan
Police book a suspect for in
veStigation' for the purpose of
Subjecting him to third degree
treatment" Chief Murray con-
tinued. THE third degree is
not practiced and will not be
tolerated in this department.
Likewise, as the committees
report points out, So-called
'drag-net' arrests are not a
practice Of the Metropolitan
Police Department"
Examples cited by the Com
mittee included the following
instances:
Two police officers spotted a
man fitting the description of
a man wanted for robbery
standing near an alley.
The policemen took him to
the precinct station. The man
was questioned for 231a hours,
then released. No charge was
placed against him.
Police Saw Man
A police officer saw a man
fitting the description of a rob-
berry suspect on a Northeast
Washington street. When ques-
toned, the man gave conflict
ing stories. He was taken to
police headquarters, arrested
for Investigation" and released
six hours and As minutes later.
In another case, man was
seen carrying a tire wheel, fish
ing rod and reel. When he did
not satisfactorily explain where
the equipment had come from,
he was taken to the police pre-
cinct for questioning. He was
released 1412 hours later.

BALTIMORE, July 10
Maryland legislators were in
vited to go incognito and tour
Baltimore's Block" today to
judge for themselves if stricter
laws are needed to curb alleged
abuses in the city'S night club
district.
The invitation came from a
member Of the city's liquor
board as the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the States Legisla-
tive Council began hearings to
examine laws regulating night
club entertainment.
II don't see how we can
draft laws on this matter un-
less we get a first-hand look
at the situation" said Senator
Louis N. PhippS, Democrat of
Anne Arundel. Senator Phipps,
who was smiling while making
his statement. Immediately re-
ceived an invitation for a
guided tour of the 20 clubs
and strip joints in the block.
Doing the inviting was Leroy
Frederick, a member of the
City Liquor Board, who had
just told the committee that
present laws, with several minor
exceptions. we're adequate to
handle Block activity.
Follows Senate Probe
The States investigation into
night club activities followed
disclosures made in Washing
ton at a Senate Investigations
subcommittee hearing on the
activities of the American Guild
Of Variety Artists.
At that hearing, two club
owners on The Block refused
to answer on the grounds of
possible determination when
they were asked questions
about solicitation of drinks by
women employees.
But in the first two hours of
today'S hearings, State legisla-
tors were told that city officials

MurruyO Opposes Ending
Investigation Arrests

The Metropolitan Police De-
partment would be handicapped
IN its crime investigation pro-
cedure if it were ordered by
the District Commissioners to
stop arreSting persons "for in
veStigation," Chief Robert v.
Murray said today.
Chief Murray's view was in
reply to a recommendation
made yesterday by the Com
missionerS' Committee on Ar
rests for Investigation.
The committee asked the
Commissioners to order an i'm
mediate halt to the police prac-
tice Of arresting and OBTAINING
persons on grounds of suspicion
rather than on probable cause.
Attorneys Charles A. Horsky,
Roger Robb and William Bry-
ant were members of the COM
mittee set up last year by the
Commissioners to study the
situation and suggest what
could be done to reduce the
number of "for investigation"
arrests.
Number Reduced
Responding to the commit
tees report. Chief Murray
noted that the number of such
arrests made by the depart
ment has reduced to the point
that in 1861 they were less than
per cent of the total arrests
that year. He said that ar
rests "for investigation" is a
standard practice of many of
the country's police depart
ments.
The report pointed out that
the number of arrests for in
vestigation was small in pro-
portion to the total arrests
made by policemen during the
year, but that they constituted
a significant number of all ar
rests for felonies and serious
offenses. Last year there were
2.239 arrests for investigation
as compared with 4.684 such ar
rests in 1860.
Would Make Effort
Most Of the arrests for in
Vestigation involved persons un-
der 18, the report said, and
that in about II of 18 cases, the
persons arrested are ultimately
released.
In asking the Commissioners
to order police to reduce the
number Of arrests based on
suspicion instead of probable
cause, the committee expressed
the opinion that the Police De-
partment would make a "con-
scientious and successful effort"
TO carry out the directive if it |
were issued.
Chief Murray said the de-
partment would be faced with
a problem if the Commissioners
followed the committees rec
ommendation and issued an
order prohibiting arrests for in
Vestigation. Chief Murray point
ed out that the number of such
arrests to the department has
reduced the point where in 1861
they were less than / per cent
of the total arrests that year.
For a great number of years
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment, and other depart
ments throughout the country
have followed the practice of
booking persons for investiga-
tion'," Chief Murray said in
a prepared statement. THE
department has done this for
reasons which have seemed
valid and which are summar-
lied in the report of the Com
missioners' Committee on Ar
rests for Investigation"
"One Of such reasons has
been the reluctance of the po-
lice to charge a person with a

TNHE SWIMMING season is on. Several coun-
try club pools opened yesterday and the
rest of the city's private, club and public pools
soon will be inviting swimmers to dive in.
But the game Of first one in" was settled
many months ago: A group of Maryland boys
and girls have the title firmly in hand.
The youngsters about 40 of them, ranging
in age from 2 to 18-have been swimming all
winter and spring, even when snow was on the
ground and the wind was bowling They're
members Of the KenwOod Country Club Swim
ming Team, champions for the last two years
in the Country Club Swimming Association.
Every Sunday since last September, this
hardy segment Of the team which numbers
around $50 in summer, has met with Coach
Henry Shetterly in the Northern Virginia
Aquatic Clubs indoor pool for winter practice
sessions and an occasional meet
The kids love il. So do their parents, who
double as chauffeurs and cheering squad
ASt PatricEs Day meet with the Bethesda
Country Club Swimming Team had all the ex
citement of an outdoor summertime event.
The teams grouped on either side of the
pool, complete with their own cheering Sec
tons AS the meet went on, the excitement
reached almost pandemonium proportions
The familiar preface to each event was the
referees call: Swimmer on your mark. Get
ready. :" And then, as his pistol cracked the
go" shot, six pairs of heels disappeared in a
giant splash as they raced for the other end of
the pool.
AS the little ones swan their one andtwo-
lap races, the older ones limbered up on the
side of the pool much as football squad get
ting ready for the next quarter swimmers
bending from the waist and swinging their
arms in wide arcs-right arm, left arm, right
arm.
AS the meet went into the home stretch
with bOy-andgirl relay races, even the parents
got carried away by the excitement. Said one
mother to another: Its awfully hard to butter
fly against boy!"
It's winter practice sessions like this that
bring out the championship material like H.
yearold Patty Beatty, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John J. Beatty, III. Last year, Patty won the
high point championship the most points for
the KenwOod team for the girls in the country
club competition.
In past years, three former Kenwood team
girls have made the Olympic tryouts
Evening star., 1962-05-27

A trio Of mothers in the poolside roofing
section, Mrs. George A. Higgins, Mrs. Edwin
Riley and Mrs. Frank Eslinger, agreed that
swimming is the best family sport" Said Mrs.
Higgins, the mother Of five, all Of them are on
the team I'VE all love swimming; it's the one
thing the family can do as a whole in the sum-
mer, and that's what stimulates the interest"
AS Mr. Eslinger joined them, his clothes
splashed from his pOolside efforts as judge,
he added his opinion that swimming Is the
best thing to keep child busy all summer long
and in the winter, tool"
The children and their parents give much
credit for the teams success to Coach Shet-
terly So does Wilson Francis, member of Ken
woods board of governors. When Mr.. Shetterly
took over as coach eight years ago, there were
only As children on the summer squad and we
were in last place" Mr.. Francis recalled. He
attributed the teams growth and success to the
fact Mr.. Shetterly is 'likeable and the kids
love him and produce for him." The summer
team has grown SO big, in fact, that it's sub
divided into two teams.
A staff member with the Division Of Pupil
Personnel of the Montgomery County Board Of
Education, Mr.. Shetterly is fitted by both per
sonality and vocation to work with children.
The results speak for themselves. As the
35-year-old coach goes into his eighth year
with the team, ii has an unbeaten record
hasn't lost dual meet in two years, and has
won three out of the last four country club
championships. There are 16 teams in the
Country Club Swimming Association.
The KenwOOd team also is going into its
fourth summer Of intercity Amateur Athletic
Union competition with two New York teams
the Larchmont Yacht Club in Westchester
County, and the Plandome Country Club on
Long Island. The competition is rotated every
year. Last year, il was KenwOod's turn to 60 to
New York. 1--WE usually take so swimmers and
10 divers and 60 by chartered bus" Mr.. Shet-
terly explained, adding the parents usually
come along, too, in a caravan of automobiles"
Coach Shetterly believes the winter prac-
tice gives the child the opportunity to strength
en- fundamentals land hopefully, that the kids
who work with us will find some rewards when
the opening whistle blows in summer"
The coachs 7year-old son, Andrew, and
10year-Old daughter, Jancy, are also on the
winter practice team. They like the competi-
tion-even when fathers looking on.
