rounds Of trumps first, for then
West will win the third heart
and return the third trump.
South will be unable to ruff the
last heart In dummy.
Quick Action
South must yield a heart at
once. On winning the first trick
with the ace Of clubs, South
should lead a low heart.
The oppon ents can do no
harm by returning either hearts
or spades. South can regain the
lead, draw two rounds of
trumps, cash the top hearts and
ruff the last heart with dunn
my's last trump.
South is not worried If an op-
ponent ruffs one Of the high
hearts. That ruff will occur only
after declarer has drawn two
rounds Of trumps, so the oppo-
nent will be using a trump that
was going to win a trick any,
way.

From This Angle
Murderers Who Failed

His parents moved to Mississippi when
he was three. He grew up there and came
to love the quiet courtesy of the people and
the lush lands of the state. At 10 he was with
the Marines on Guam, iberating that island
from the Japanese. After the war he entered
college and obtained degree. Somewhere in
these experiences came the wrenching twist
ing distortions of the emotions that produced
a mental breakdown. He spent two years in
an asylum in Binghampton, New York.
After leaving the asylum this man became
increasingly concerned with the injustice dealt
out to the Negroes of the South He knew
this injustice from first hand as a boy grow
ing up in Mississippi. He moved to Baltimore
from New York State worked as a mailman,
and Joined the Congress of Racial Equality
and the American Civil Liberties Union.
He finally decided on a personal mission
through the South to the State of Mississippi.
He would carry placards on a hike through
the South. He wrote letters to President Ken
nedy and to Governor Barnett. To the Cover.
nor he wrote, II have always had warm
place in my heart for Mississippi dislike
the reputation this State has acquired as
being the most backward and the most bigoted
in the land. Those who truly love Mississippi
must work to change this image"
He carried two placards. One read Eat
At JOes Both Black and White" and the other
Equal Right For All - Mississippi or Bust"
He was found lying in the dust along
lonely stretch of road in Alabama. He had
bullet in his brain and one that had gone
through his neck was found in his clothing
The coroners report read, Z" . the bullets
were probably fired from an automatic rifle
at relatively short range" He was only Is
years old when he died.

The last entry in William L. Moore's diary
gives the real reason for his death 1t reads,
"a couple of men who had talked to me before
drove up and questioned my religious and
political beliefs. And one was sure I'd be killed
for them . feet sore all over Shoes too
painful, walking without them. Adopted by
hungry, thirsty road foolish dog Only kids
adopt dogs"
The murderers Of William Moore COM
mitted the worst crime of which an American
can be guilty. Their crime was far worse than
that Of vicious thug who murders for money
or that Of a passiOn.crazed rapist who muir.
ders to satisfy animal instincts. In a nation
founded on and presumably devoted to free.
dom, they murdered a man for expressing an
idea. No lower criminal exists in this land Of
ours.
It's too bad that the murderers OF Moore
did not have chance to read the obituary of
Alfred Whitney Griswold, President of Yale
University, who passed away last week. In
many of the obituaries, President Griswolds
statement about book banning was printed. 1t
reads, "Ideas won't go to Jail. In the long run
OF history the censor and the inquisitor have
always lost" Perhaps even the little minds Of
Moore's murdererS could have translated that
statement to read, "You can murder men, but
you can't murder their ideas"
IT, as some believe, the spirit Of William
L. Moore looks down on America tonight, he
must regard his murderers with gentle sat-
lsfaction and great gratitude. For by killing
William Moore, those murderers gave the
cause to which he was so devoted boost and
publicity that he could never have accom-.
plished by himself. 1t must be with great con-
tentment that the spirit of William Moore
says, "You can't murder ideas"

days of November after the fruit trees had
been picked clean, the grass had withered
and all seemed dying, that covenanted with

them back in springtime again.

House Bill 374
COP Views

Dear Gerda
In reply to your question, perhaps the
most important single piece of legislation
returned to Montgomery County by any dele
cation since the adoption of the County
Charter is House Bill 374 1t gives the
County Council the power to tax to the same
extent as the State-with certain exceptions.
The purpose is to tighten the tax load
presently placed on the property owner by
finding new sources of revenue for the in
creasing expenses of a growing community.
Similar taxing powers are currently being
used by Baltimore City and Baltimore
County.
Montgomery County first county to be
chartered under the Maryland Constitution,
was restricted to grants of express powers
provided by the General Assembly. The
charter confined taxation to the property tax.
All other taxes used by Montgomery County
are either shared Estates Grants or express
grants authorized by special Legislation.
Revenue needs for the County have in.
creased more rapidly than the tax base. The
high rate of growth in the primary and Sec
ondary school enrolment, as well as rising
school costs, have been the major cause of
the increased property taxes over the years.
Reassessment and initiation point clearly to
the fact that other sources Of revenue must
be found.
With the Governor signing NIB 374 into
law, the Council can direct the Financial Ad-
visOry Committee to look for new taxing
areas. These could be, for example, service
charges, occupancy (mOtel and hotel rooms),
sales and use tax, business licenses, excise
(Other than tObaccO), severance or production
charges, tax on commercial use of electricity,
gas or steam, parking permits, ETC.
One area, the enactment of an energy
tax of per cent recommended in 1860 by
the Financial Advisory Committee, would

yield about So million This includes taxing
the Federal Government installations use of
public utilities within the County and is a
supplement for property removed from the
local tax rolls by Government occupancy.
The present delegation to Annapolis does
not claim authorship of this legislation
Credit goes to the League of Women Voters
whose study papers on taxation paved the
way. Other organizations have been search
ing diligently for several years for new reve.
nue. sources. These include the Montgomery
County Civic Federation and the Allied Civic
Group. The Financial Advisory Committee
made up OF Clark Fauver chairman, Walter
Gardner, Leonard Hoyle, Warren Lasher,
Fred Lutes and John r. Steelman, deserves
much credit for its efforts in this direction.
Delegate James r. Miller Jr., Sen. Gilbert
GUIDE and County Attorney Robert Tobin all
are to be commended for the able manner
In which NIB 374 was drafted, guided through
the necessary committees of the legislature
and successfully passed. The Democratic
members Of the delegation rose above parti.
san politics to join with the Republican ma.
jority In helping to bring to Montgomery
County this vital taxing legislation.
1t is now up to the Council to ask the
Financial Advisory Committee for prompt
action in finding tax relief for property
owners.
1 hope this answers your questions sat.
isfactorily.
Sincerely
Charles S. Bresler, Delegate
PS.: 1t should be clearly understood, Gerda,
that NIB 374 has not enacted any of these
taxes This is legislation which authorizes
the levy of taxes by the County Council only
after public advertisement of intent and
public hearings.

Asks Apology

We attended the public

Contrary to reports in this

was orderly and good natured.
The applause that so infuri-

coming in late, had heard
nothing about no applause
and were doubtless simply I'M
aware of such a rule.

Public Accommodations

Hearings have now been concluded on proposed re-
peal of the countys public accommodations ordinance and
the County Council has before staggering evidence that
OF those willing to state their views vast majority op-
poses repeal of the ordinance.
An estimated 1900 persons - probably the biggest
crowd ever to turn out in Montgomery County on public
issue-atended the hearings Public interest in the ques
ton is intense The Council obviously should proceed on
this question only with extreme caution.
Legal opinion the question of whether the county
ordinance is in conflict with the state law is strongly di
vded-among lawyers Obviously then in such case the
answer is to be found in the courts That's why they were
created If the Council repeats the ordinance what can the
public possibly think other than that their reason was
prejudice? The ordinance should be kept books and
any doubts about its legality possible conflict with the
state law should be resolved in the courts Personal pre-

The Public Forum

ucation. But at the same time
every citizen has a limit in
mind regarding his or her
share of the cost of the Public
School System.
Each year brings into Mont
gomery hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of new residents
who do not use the Public
School System and never in
tend to; and at any given time
we have many, many thou
sands of residents in that cate
CORY: single persons, married
persons without children, re.
tired persons with grown chill
dren, parents using public land
parochiaD schools, parents
with children in college, etc.
And yet, ALL of thes non
Public School users are taxed
year after year, along with
commercial enterprises, at an
increasing rate 1853 will be
the first year without an in
crease in a long, long time),
with about 500 of the taxes
going toward this Public
School System.
1 wonder if it isn't time now,
as a result of taxpayers revolt
in the last election, for sensible
persons to get together and
plan an educational program
comprising:
a. A good basic education
to be paid for by taxes.
b. ANY OTHER courses
or training, elective or com.
pulsory, to be paid for by
the parents of students in the
Public School System, or,
only by parents of students
taking such courses or train
ing.
Unless such a program is
worked out, by reasonable per-
sons, we will continue to have
taxpayer revolts at the polls
in the future. / hope the
P-TA's realize that the very
reason for the taxpayers in
fluence is the great wealth in
this County: which permits
and encourages parents of
school age youngsters to select
the best education for them:
private land parochaiD school,
public school, and even com.
binations of both (using public
schools in winter, private in
summer). Therefore, we un.
doubtedly have an unusually
high percentage of non-public
school users.
