BILE the facts on which there
Is clear proof. Obviously.
nothing will be gained by IN
dulging in speculation as to
the impact Of national poll
tics or fractional strife on the
disordered mind of an asSas-
sin. This doesn't come under
the head Of proof.
The evidence that has
been published thus far
shows plainly that Oswald
was q psychopathic case
from early youth. He was in
trouble in school at the age
Of IS, and psychiatric treat
ment was recommended then
but not carried out. 1t will do
no good to attempt to blame
society as a whole for failing
to have every psychopathic
individual put behind bars or
otherwise incarcerated.
II is unfortunate that
there has been speculation in
the press concerning the rea-
sons why Oswald wasn't
locked up after the FBI in
terviewed him last Septem-
Der. But there happens 10 be
on file in the hospitals and
institutions in the Dallas
area the names Of at least A.
900 persons who have been
treated for mental troubles.
Could the FBI have impri-
soned them all for q few
days? What then becomes of
the legal rule that suspects
cannot be held without ar
raignment?
Nor will it serve any good
purpose to lay part Of the
blame to the fact that Mr..
Kennedy himself permitted
the parade route to be
changed four days before the
tragedy so that the process
sion would pass through an
area Of which the FBI and
the Secret Service didn't ap-
prove because Of dangers
from persons in high build
ings. The fact Is that the
President gives the final or
ders, and Chief Executives
have always taken such
chances. Only 10 days ago
many a member Of the gov
eminent services charged
with protecting Mr.. Johnson
on his trip to the funeral of
Herbert Lehman in New

Ten Workmen Hurt in Floor Collapse
As Concrete Is Poured for Apartment

Ten workmen were injured
yesterday afternoon when a
portion of freshly-poured con-
crete for the second floor of an
apartment building under con-
struction at 1731-S3 N Street
NV. collapsed.
Four of the men were treated
and released at Georgetown
Hospital. The others were
treated at the scene.
Concrete was being poured by
the Edmondston Construction
Co. at 4:45 pm. yesterday when
a section about 30-by-50 feet
suddenly gave way under the
laborers working on top of it.
The supporting forms ap-
parently collapsed and the wet
concrete slipped through to the
first floor, about a 15-foot fall.
Some of the men had to be
dug out of the debris. The con-
crete was almost 95 per cent
poured when the several tons
crashed through to the first
floor.
John P. Stoddard, District
chief building inspector, said
after an investigation at the
scene yesterday that he had
mo idea" as to the cause of
the collapse.
II don't think there's any
negligence" Mr.. Stoddard said.
He added that the Industrial
Safety Board would have to

COP. Backs
Changes in
Liquor Laws

Liberalization of local liquor
laws to permit the serving of
more mixed drinks was Endorsed
today by the Republican ma
jority of the Montgomery
County Council.
The majority emphasized,
however, that any relaxation
should be braced with strict
requirements that would pro-
hibit the establishment of bars
and taverns. This could be
done by requiring mixed drinks
licensees to have 100000 or
100000 invested in their estab-
lishments, the Republicans said.
These specifications were
spelled out in a liquor liberal
ization measure proposed at
the 1868 Maryland General
Assembly, but the plan was
killed by State Senator Gilbert
GUIDE. Republican of Montgom-
cry, who wanted to outlaw
bottle clubs. Instead, law
makers set up a Citizens Study
Commission on Alcoholic Bev-
erage Laws, which requested
comment from the council.
Montgomery mixed drink
permits now are limited to
three restaurants and IS coun-
try clubs. Bottled liquor is sold
through county operated dis
penSaries.
Councilman Jerry T. Will
liams. a Democrat, declared he
was definitely opposed" to any
change, noting that citizens
can always purchase liquor at
the dispenSaries.
Councilman Grover K. Walk
er, the other Democrat, alb
stained from voting saying the
present discrimination against
all but the three restaurant
owners would not be eliminated
because owners still would have
to make a large investment In
their establishments. The in
vestment requirement would
eliminate up-county restau-
rants, he commended.
The five-member Republican
majority expressed doubts that
an eased law would increase
crime and traffic accidents as
was predicted by citizens pro-
testing lberalized liquor laws

Study Commission earlier this

ner to promote poll tax re-
peal"

Washington's Columbia Plaza

.Liquor Control Bill
.OKd byHouse Unit
Seeks to End
ABC Powers
Of D. G. Chiefs
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

A bill removing the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board from
control of District Commits
sioners today was approved by
the House District Committee.
A House vote is expected the
week Of November IL.
Representative Multer, DEM
ocrat of New York, the bills
sponsor, claims the bill will
tighten regulation over false
advertising and limit bargain
sales.
He denied that one con-
troverSial section would lead
to increased prices, possibly
fixed" by big wholesalers.
Representative Springer, Re-
publican of Illinois, is expected
to fight the legislation on the
House floor. He has charged
the board could become a tool
of the liquor industry by the
action.
Today's action, which came
on a voice vote, was on the
formal acceptance Of an Octo-
Der 8 action in another execu-
tive meeting of the committee.
Then, Mr.. Springer's motion to
keep the board checked by the
Commissioners repeatedly lost
on a 15-to-6 vote.
Hears One mo"
Today. committee aides said
they heard no opposing vote.
Mr.. Multer said he heard only
one mo" but did not identify
his opponent. Mr.. Springer is
out of town and could not at
tend.
Deleted earlier by a District
subcommittee was a minimum
price requirement for retail
liquor store sales. But the
clean" bill approved by the
committee today contained
language read by some critics
to mean the same thing.
This language finds as IAN
unfair method of competition"
any merchandising practice
substantially lessening COM
petition"
Mr.. Multer interprets these
words to eliminate cut-rate
sales unfairly prejudicing the
business of small dealers I'M
able to afford to cut rates. But
a conflicting view is that deal
ers, barred by a new law from
offering customers bargains,
would be forced to accept prices
dictated by the Districts large
wholesalers.
Sees No Price Rise
This bill will not lead to
increased liquor prices" Mr..
Multer insisted after the COM
mittee meeting. THE language
substantially lessening COM
petition is the same as Ian
guage in accepted laws"
The New Yorker said that
only those practices judged
unfair" by courts in "lessening
competition" would be pre-
vented by his bill.
The legislation carried new
ban on false advertisements,
empowering the ABC Board to
revoke licenses after citing the
advertisement violation.
