A Prince Georges County
Judge has announced he will
place the Freestate Savings &
Loan Association in receiver
ship.
Characterizing the Balti-
more -Hillcrest Heights firm as
extremely reckless" Circuit
Court Judge Ralph w. Powers,
of Upper Marlboro said he will
sign an order, probably today,
revoking Freestate's corporate
charter as we'll as naming a
receiver.
William E. Brooke, attorney
for Freestate said he plans to
appeal the decision. He plans
to meet Judge Powers today to
try to set up a working ar
rAngement for Freestate while
the appeal is pending.
Two days testimony in the
Freestate case uncovered a
tangle of real estate transac-
tions made by the firms "ad-
visor on investments, adver-
tising and general operations,
Harold G, Applegarth.
Policy Criticized
Judge Powers criticized the
firms entire policy, voicing
fears that it might be in a
worse position than the evi-
dence indicated. He termed
practices brought out at the
hearing most disturbing" and
extremely dangerous"
Mr.. Applegarth, who was on
the stand for nearly five hours,
is the former owner of the
Suburban Maryland Saving &
Loans Association of Suitland,
which owns 80 per cent of
Freestate's stock.
A court decision on Free
states financial status was
complicated by the absence of
figures separating its assets
from those of Suburban Mary
land.
In December, the court was
tpld, Mr.. Applegarth and Don
aid D. R. Poloshek, a Baltimore
accountant, prepared the joint
financial statement combining
the assets of both firms.
Pressed for Time
The figures were Jumped to-
gether, Mr.. Applegarth ex-
planned, because he was pressed
for time and anxious to coun-
teract the effects of an earlier
statement used by the State
as evidence of insolvency.
That statement, compiled in
Septmeber by Mr.. Poloshek,
showed FreeState would be
insolvent" if, the assets listed
were all the firm actually had
ON hand, according to testi-
rnony by the accountant.
Denying the accuracy of Mr..
Poloshek'S earlier figures, Mr..
Applegarth charged that the
State had refused even to glance
over the later figures in the
joint statement.
He also denied intermingling
the assets of the two firms, al

though, he said, Freestate
funds were transferred through
Suburban Maryland from time
to time as a convenience.
In answer to charges that
mortgage portfolios and ac-
counting .ledgers either were
never kept or had been con-
cealed, Mr.. Applegarth ac-
cused the State officials of
making less than a determined
effort to obtain them.
In addition, he said, many
transactions since mid-Novem-
ber were not recorded because
he was negotiating to sell the
two firms and had no time for
housekeeping" Mr.. Apple
garth, who paid $4,000 to gain
control of Freestate last May,
said he sold his interest in both
Free State and Maryland Sub
urban for total of $25,000 on
December 81. The purchaser
was John M. O'Connell, a Ken
Sington public relations man.
Says Powers Abused
James P. Garland, assistant
attorney general, called Free
states real estate dealings "un-
sound and unsafe" He charged
further that the firm had
abused its corporate powers by
operating solely for the per-
sonal advantage of the owner" I"
Among examples cited by Mr..
Garland were a 5 per cent divi-
dend declared September 9 and
a 100000 coal mine loan
negotiated on November 8.
Mr.. Garland said the divi-
dend violated the law since it
was declared at a time when
Freestate had no cash surplus

Picture a school of tomorrow
with a computer in the base
ment sending lessons to stu
dents through "slave units" up
in the classrooms.
It's a possibility for advanced
use of teaching machines, says
DR.. James D. Finn of the Uni
verSity of Southern California.
head of a National Education
Association chronological devel-
opment project.
In the first major survey of
the teaching machine industry,
the NEA found that there are
more than 80 self instruction
teaching devices in production
by about IS companies.
The survey, just completed,
also disclosed $50 programmed
courses which either fit into
machines or are produced in
book form.
Still Experimental
The machine of today is not
the machine of tomorrow, DR..
Finn said. Manufacturing, so
far, is a little more widespread
than actual use of the ma
chimes, which is largely in the
experimental stages. He said a
lot more computers will be used
in education within 10 years.
I'VE think, for instance, that
some advanced schools might
have a computer in the base
ment with what are called
slave units" up in the class
rooms where teaching-machine
type information can be dis
played for a response to several
students at one time.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Before another capacity gather
ing of worshippers Sunday, March
25th at Pilgrim, DR.. Massey spoke
from the subject: '"The Crowd and
Jesus. This sermon was con-
tinuance of a series of such deal
ing with those who had to do with
the suffering and death of Jesus.
Taking his text from Mark
1912 and 13, DR.. Massey differ
entiated between the two types of
crowds. Were they guilty as the
Pharasees and Sadducees? Ac-
cording to some they were. Some
scholars say no. The question is
were the common people guilty.
DR.. Massey answered this by
pointing out clearly that ordinary
people are powerful. Secondly,
ordinary people are largely indif-
ferent - careless about things. 1t
is difficult to get people concerned
and to stay concerned. Thirdly, the
minister pointed out that ordin-
ary people under a democracy can
have anything they want. Ordin-
ary people love Jesus but when
Jesus was crucified, the ordinary
people were asleep. In conclusion
DR.. Massey pointed out that wick
ness gains while good people are
sleeping the crooks take over
which is what happened when
Jesus was crucified. The crowd
iasleep was guilty by inertia, in
difference and by not concerning
themselves with the crucifixion.
The situation of the world is the
same today we must bear a
cross.
Immediately after the sermon
Dr. Massey departed by jet plane
for Boston, Mass, to attend a
meeting of the Foreign Missions
Board. He will spend the week in
New York and return in time for
service Sunday.
Music was provided by the Cos
