Upset ofN. State
Timely for Terps
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

Maryland's young basketball
team has two triumphs in as
many starts on its home court
and is rapidly winning friends
and influencing the people who
count.
The Terps shot a blistering
IS per cent last night to upset
previously-undefeated North
Carolina State, 1852, and their
timing couldn't have been bet
ter
Their next two games also
are at home. West Virginia
comes in Saturday and it's
Clemson on Monday. All of a
sudden. this sets up exciting
possibilities at the box office,
where the young TerpS are win
ming the friends, and on the
court. where they are picking
up confidence.
Conference Victories
What's more, they are in
fluencing the people who count.
Both triumphS are In confer
ence play. Overall, the Terps
are 30. but in the Atlantic
Coast Conference the record is
a spotless 20.
1t was the Terps' hot-Shoot-
ing and tight defense that spill
ed the Wolfpack, which worked
patiently for the good shots
and couldn't get enough of
them. State hit So per cent. but
got off on'v AZ shots to Mary
lands 81.
I'VE started the ball game
with the idea Of winning it on
defense" Maryland Coach Bud
Millikan buzzed, land that's
how we did it. We got aggres-
sive. we got the ball off the
boards. ="
And we hustled like hell"
Guard Neil Brayton shouted
from across the locker room.
NC. State had beaten Penn
State, the team that smashed
the Terps by 20 points four
days ago, but the Wolfpack
couldn't get any breathing
room last night. Maryland
never trailed by more than
two points and, in fact, led
most Of the way.
Ward Leads Way
Gary Ward, hitting on II
of % shots, bombed in 26
points, the tops for the Terps
this season. He bagged 16 Of
them in the decisive second
half when Maryland broke
a 1871 tie and pulled steadily
away.

Dorsey said he was dis

the Redskins.

Test Ban
Backed by
Brewster

Maryland Senator Daniel B.
Brewster has announced that he
will Fundamentally support rati-
fication of the nuclear test ban
treaty. In a speech before the
Senate on Aug. Is, Senator
Brewster professed belief that
the treaty would be in the best
interests of the country.
1--WE all recognize that any
agreement with the ,U.S.S.R. is
replete with risks" Brewster
stated. None of us can or
should forget the dreary cata-
logue of Soviet transgressions
in the past.
1--WE must accept this treaty
for precisely what it is a
limited agreement which is not
an end unto itself, but merely
a beginning which offers some
hope of slowing the prolifera-
ton of nuclear arms, of reduc-
ing the hazard of radioactive
fallout in the atmosphere, and
of eventually leading to further
lessening of East-West tensions.
1--WE must reject the false
premise that ratification of this
treaty is in any way a conces-
sion to the Russians, or an act
inimical to the security of our
country. On the contrary, we
can proudly draw satisfaction
from the fact that the success
full negotiation of this treaty is
manifestly recognition of the
strength of our position"
Brewster is satisfied that
inquiry into the worth of the
treaty "has been thorough and
exhaustive" He feels that the
testimonies of Secretary of State
Rusk, Secretary of Defense
Mcnamara, and Atomic Energy
Commission Chairman Seaborg
Should allay any fears that we
are merely playing Khrush-
chev's game by acceding to
these test limitations.
ITO reject this treaty and to
pursue an ever accelerating and
unlimited nuclear arms race,
would be unthinkable and unfor.
givable."

Attorneys for a 20-year-old
youth accused of a sensational
Annapolis sex murder gained
permission in the Montgomery
County Circuit Court Monday
to study alleged confessions SUBJ
mitted by an earlier suspect who
later was freed.
The decision was handed down
by Judge Kathryn Shook on
behalf of John Emory Simms,
of Annapolis, indicted for the
murder of Marguerite B.
LaSuer, sc, more than a year
ago in a case transferred to the
Rockville court on a defense
motion contending that Simms
could not obtain a fair and
impartial trial in Anne Arundel
County.
The ruling gave Attorneys

Cerebral Palsy Center school,

ton of Montgomery County, a

Murder Suspects Lawyers
Granted Access to Records

E. Diggs, appointed by the court
to represent Simms on the
ground he is without funds to
hire an attorney, the authority
to examine details of a con-
fession repeatedly obtained by
Anne Arundel authorities from
George Issac Green, 81, of
Annapolis, following his arrest
a few days after the murder on
Aug. 2 of last year. Simms is
scheduled to be tried on the
murder charge in Rockville on
Oct. a.
Smith was assigned the case
after several other attorneys
withdrew for varying reasons.
One of his predecessors, the
first to represent Simms, was
engaged by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, according to the
Rockville attorney.
Anne Arundel County authori-
ties, according to Smith, have
persistently refused to permit
the defense to examine the con-
fession submitted originally by
Green, although the initial sus-
pect not only admitted the slay-
ing at the time of his arrest but
reenacted the crime in minute
detail. Green was committed to
mental hospital at Brownsville
on the grounds of mental incom-
petence after police said they
found his confession to be ina
ginary.
"Simms definitely is not
guilty." declared Smith, "and
we feel that a further study of
the confession originally sub.
mitted by Green might help us
clarity the status of everyone
involved"
According to records of the
case, the body of Mrs. LaSuer
was found by another guest at
a home for the elderly in
Annapolis, where the murder
victim was living, in a small
building in the yard of the main
dwelling. Death was attributed
to strangulation by sock, and
police said a medical examina-
ton indicated she was the vic
tim of an attempted sexual
assault.
Simms, arrested few days
after the first suspect was
released, was found guilty of
another assault case shortly
after he was taken into custody
and currently is a prisoner at
the Maryland House of Deten-
ton as a result of the convic-
ton. Smith said the charge on
which Simms is now serving
time was not a sexual assault.
