BALTIMORE, Oct. 6 (AP) -
A Baltimore Circuit Court judge
ruled yesterday that officials
of the Patuxent Institution vi
olated no constitutional rights
of inmates when they restricted
certain religious tracts.
The ruling, without precedent
in Maryland, came in a COM
plant by an inmate at the
prison for defective delinquentS,
Abraham Porter, who claims to
De a Moslem.
Judge Reuben Oppenheimer
said certain of the writings sent
to the institution by the Moor
ish Science Temple of which
Porter said he was affiliated,
could have proved detrimental
to all Patuxent inmates if read
by the persons for whom they
we're intended.
| Porter, however, denied being
4 a member of the Black Muslims,
a militant sect which breaches
supremacy of the Negro race
The Muslims claim spiritual
kinship with the Moslem reh-
gion. but Moslems in this coun-
] try and Africa have denied any
connection with them.
Porter, who was sent to
Patuxent after being convicted
of arson, commended that he and
several other prisoners were
denied access to tracts from the
/ Moorish Temple and opportu-
nifty to meet with, its represen-
tativeS.
/ Judge Oppenheimer said the
Moslem inmates have no more
right to demand tracts and rei-
gious instructions from the
sect to which they belong than
Protestants, Jews or Catholics

fective delinquents.

Cancellation

The landlady who Cancelled
a six-month lease signed by

girl never had actual possession
of the apartment and didn't

Mrs. James T. Mccarthy, a
widow who has "a grandchil-

pany of a Negro.
The secretary, Lisette Desa-
bleau, 22-year-old aide to Am
bassador Jean-Pierre Kombet
of the Central African Repub-
lie. signed the lease calling for
$105 a month instead of the
$110 Mrs. Mccarthy usually
receives, the landlady said.
After leaving a $50 deposit,
Mrs. Mccarthy said, the secre-
tary attempted to enter the
apartment the next day. The
manager would not give her
the key and asked her to speak
with Mrs. Mccarthy.
The landlady asked Miss
Desableau if she was planning
to keep the company of a
Negro. The reply was yes ac-
cording to Mrs. Mccarthy.
Mrs. Mccarthy said her
tenants would not stand for a
French girl bringing in black
company" although she said
she had not had time to ask
them about the situation. The
landlady added that she never
saw Miss Desableau in the
company of a Negro.
Mrs. Mccarthy said she had
no objections to housing for
Negroes only. She has resided
at 3765 Northampton street
NV. since 1923, she said, and
the California street apartment
building has been in her family
for decades. She was born in

Maryland School Supt. Thorn
as G. Pullen, jr., has proposed
the State aid for a minimum
education program should be on
a $3.50 matching besis with
towns and counties.
DR.. Pullen proposed abandon
mcnt of the States complicated
per pupil formula for distribu-
ton of funds in a talk Thurs
day before the Maryland Asso-
citation of Boards of Education
meeting in Frederick.
The plan, which has been
general Endorsement by the
State Board of Education, may
be presented to the General As
sembly at its 1868 session.
Increased State aid on a So
so matching basis was recon-
mended several years ago by
the Mort Committee. The plan
proposed by DR.. Pullen yeSter-
day was a different version of
the Mort plan.
The Mort plan would have
the State pay so per cent of
the total cost of education in
any community. DR.. Pullen's
proposal would have the State
pay so per cent of the cost Of
a minimum program and the
community would pick up the
remainder of the cost.
However, DR.. Pullen'S plan
would set a higher standard
for the minimum program than
is now used in determining
State aid. This would mean
the State would pick up more
of the total cost of education.

County Issues
Fact Sheet in
Plans Dispute

Montgomery County officials,
APPARENTLY irritated by criticism
from their Planning Board,
issued without comment yes
terday a fact sheet to refute
charges that the county did
not cooperate with the board
on planning an emergency COM
munications center.
County planners charged
Wednesday that the County
Council had not asked for their
recommendations on the CEN
ter until bids had been re-
quested for its construction in
Rockville.
Acting County Manager Alex
K. Hancock released the fact
sheet yesterday and noted that
the council did not have to
refer construction plans to the
board in the first place, but
did it as a matter of courtesy.
Mr.. Hancock said the plan
ners had an opportunity to re-
view the construction drawings
and financing when the county
budget was approved by the
board April 4.
He added that copies of the
site plan and building permit
application for the center were
sent to the planning board last
month. Mr.. Hancock said
these were returned without
action with the notation that
the proposed construction was
in the City of Rockville and
therefore outside the planners
Jurisdiction.
The center, which will cost
100000, is scheduled to be
finished by May l. 1t will
contain emergency communica-
tions equipment for the civil
defense and a countrywide

"A school like this should not

In Baltimore, DR.. Thomas G.
