in State regulations specifically
prohibiting a teacher to become
"a candidate for public office,
but added:
"On the other hand, If such

Planners Adopt North Bethesda Plan.
Apply for Government Park Funds

The Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion this week was involved
with a community master plan
and efforts to acquire park land
for the recreational needs of the
residents of its two-county area.
In its action, the Commission:
Adopted a master plan for
North Bethesda and Garrett
Park-a plan which no longer
includes a site for a Federal en-
ployment center, educational ia
cility and rapid transit station.
Applied to the u. S. govern
ment for a S2.1 million grant to
permit purchase of 1000 acres
in Montgomery County and
1000 acres in Prince Georges
County for park land. The
grant would be added to $40
million in local money for pur-
chases over the next two years.
No Information
The master plan eliminated
the 100 to 200-acre site because
planners said they have receiv-
ed no information from the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency on its plans for a tran
sit system or from other agen-
cies concerning the employment
center.
The site originally was sug-
gested for the 400-acre Corby

Delinquent
Properties
May Be Sold

Montgomery County finance
officials have warned property
owners that unpaid taxes on
real estate have been delin-
quent since March / and will
be subject to advertising and
tax sales within a few weeks.
Alex K. Hancock, county f.
nance director, said his office Is
required by law to advertise for
sale properties on which taxes
have not been paid, for four sue.
cessive weeks before June IL.
He advised homeowners who
have not received tax bill TO
get in touch with the county
revenue office Immediately.
Hancock said that in the
spring of 1861 more than 5000
delinquent tax accounts were
listed, and 345 actually were
sold for tax delinquencies. Prop
erty owners whose taxes are
delinquent also are charged for
the required advertising.
County residents were re-
minded by Hancock that tax an
ticipation certificates can be
purchased at the County Office
Building at any time during the
year, so that taxpayers can bud
get their tax payments in adj
vance on whatever payment
schedule suits their convenience.
The certificates were inaugural
ed as a taxpayers service in
1861.

Barbee
Refutes
Charge
Says Schweinhaut
Controls Power

The charge by State Sen.
Margaret c. Schweinhaut
that the Democratic states
other than her own are
guided by the tactics of
power politicians" h av e
been refuted by Alger Y.
Barbee.
Barbee is candidate for the
senatorial post on the United
Democrats for Tawes ticket.
Barbee countered that Sena.
tor Schweinhaut has on her
own County Democrats" slate
the power politicians" of to-
day.
"She is Barbee said, "the
state senator by virtue of very
recent mandatory appointment
of the Governor, dictated by the
Montgomery County State Cen
trail Committee - the acting
chairman and other members of
which are members of her slate.
The president of the County
Council is also a candidate on
her slate.
Thus we see that the three
key positions mentioned by
her as sought to be regained--
namely the state senator, Coun-
ty Council and State Central
Committee-are already under

the resignation of such teacher,
or failing such resignation, to
revoke the certificate and dis
miss the teacher"
Before offering his views on
teacher politicking, however,
Garland cited the case of a
parole officer who wanted to run
for the General Assembly in
1850.
He said that although the OF.
ficer was eligible to file and
campaign for election, it did
mot necessarily follow that the
parole officer, or any State EN-
ployee, may hold elective office
and at the same time retain
his State employment"
Garland also cited a Court of
Appeals ruling upholding the
dismissal of a deputy assessor
from his position because of his
candidacy for public office.
He said that the court held
that it was quite proper for
the State Tax Commission to
promulgate and enforce a pol
icy refusing to permit a county
assessor to become candidate
for public office and to dis
charge an assessor who did be-
come such a candidate"
Said the court "F'prtiermore,.
the unfitness OF an assessor be-
coming a candidate for public
office and continuing to be an
assessor is too manifest to re-
quire explanation or warning
to plaintiff"

Is Ministers
Jailed In
Albany, Georgia

ALBANY, Ga. (UPD-A racial
ly mixed group of II Northern
ministers was arrested yesterday
for staging a prayer protest DEM
onstration against segregation III
front of city hall and 500 cheering
whites stood by and applauded the
police action.
Chief Laurie Pritchett warned
the clergymen four times before
ordering his men to step in and
make the arrests.
Go back to your own cities and
cleanse the sins of segregation in
your own back yards, the chief
urged.
But the ministers, who had ira
veled here from the East and Mid
west, did not bulge and a rabbi
stepped from the group and read
from the Book of Psalms. When
he finished, a Negro minister led
the group in prayer.
Police said the group arrested
included so white men, 19 Negro
men, four white women and two
Negro women. Twenty of the white
men and 10 Negro men we're taken
to a stockade in adjoining Lee
County. All the women we're lodged
in Albany city jail and 80 white
men were confined at Dougherty
county Jail in Albany
The group had formed at a local
Negro church and marched double
file to the city hall. Police, tipped
in advance of their march, walk
ed at both ends Of the line of min
iSters.
Pritchett, who had his entire 81
man force standing by in front
of city hall, pleaded with the
preachers at length.
Il have no desire to put you in
jail. Go about your normal way of
life, he said. 60 in the name
of decency. You have had your
prayer, go now "
Negro leader Dr. Martin Luther
King, who has been jailed here
three times since demonstrations
began in December, was not
among those arrested yesterday.
This brings a new dimension
to the problem in that religious
leaders are willing to express
this type of creative moral wit
ness and make the principles of
our Judeo Christian heritage re-
levant in the crisis that we are
facing in racial issues" King said

wanted to make it perfectly

Senator Mansfield said there
is virtually complete agreement
in every sector of the economy
that the Nations continued

an incentive for business in

equipment.
I'VE are providing precisely
that incentive in the investment

said.
Byrd Opposes
"Other sections Of the bill
are equally important-particu-
larry the proposal to withhold
taxes on dividends and interest
income, which is essential as a
matter Of simple tax fairness. "
The decision to keep fighting
came In the face Of a declara-
ton by Senator Harry F. Byrd
Democrat of Virginia, that he
opposes the Withholding tax
no matter how the savings and

Air Force Gets
Supervision of
Advent Satellite
BY the Associated Press

Responsibility for developing
the spacecraft for a military
communications satellite sys-
tenn has been transferred from
the Army to the Air Force.
A Pentagon spokesman said
yesterday that it is hoped the
system will be in operation by
1864 instead Of by 1866, the
target date set by the Army.
Labeled Advent" the pro-

an equatorial orbital path 49,
800 miles above the earth. The
satellites would relay voice and
other communications almost
instantaneously. They would
be entirely separate from the
proposed civilian communica-
tons satellite program.
The spokesman said the main
reason for transferring most OF
the project to the Air Force II
the fact that the Army's pro-
posed 1,300-pound satellite is
too heavy for the rockets now
available. The Army will con-
