Clenlency
Expected
For Trio
Governors
Decision
Is Awaited
By John B. Saunders
Sentinel Reporter

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. % -
Gov. ]. Willard Tawes was
expected today to commute
Ito at least life imprison-
ment-the death penalties of
three Montgomery County
Negroes ordered executed
for raping a 16-year-old Hy-
attsville white girl.
Word of the governors deci-
sion was awaited by the con-
demned trio, John Giles, %, his
brother, James, 81, and Joseph
E. Johnson, -Jr., "a, in Maryland
Penitentiary's Death Row
where they have been imprison-
ed for almost two years.
Gov. Tawes action will climax
an 18-month long campaign by a
group of county residents to aid
the three young men, all resi-
dents of SpencerviIle.
Initially, efforts were aimed
at persuading the governor to
commute the three death penal
ties to life Imprisonment. When
evidence concerning the moral
character of the girl and her II
year old escort recently came to
light, however, the bi-racial citi-
zens group and attorneys in the
case urged the governor to
grant unprecedented clemency.
z The midnight incident on a
lonely lovers lane near the
young mems homes in July,
1862 attracted nationwide atten-
lion after the death penalties
were imposed.
More than a score of news
men covered a clemency hear
ing held by the governor here
last week at which attorneys
made their formal plea that the
death sentences be reduced to
the minimum penalty in Mary
land for rape - 18 months.
g Juvenile court records and
police files submitted to the
governor indicated extreme sex
ual promiscuity by the girl
since she was IA.
The new evidence, it was
argued by attorneys and the
Giles-Johnson Defense Commit.
tee, tended to corroborate the
story of two of the defendants
that the girl consented. The
third, John Giles denied having
any intimacies with the girl.
Under Maryland law, new evi.
dence cannot be considered if il
is discovered more than three
days after a trial is over.
The new evidence in this case
called Startling" by the defense
committee, was uncovered in
Prince Georges County court
and police files by DR.. Harold
A. Knapp, a Defense Depart
ment analyst who lives in Ger
mantown and who became inter
ested in the case as a private
citizen.

Is Approved
For Olney

More thdn 10 acres oil
land on the southeast corner
Of Georgia Ave. and Route
1O8 in Olney was tentatively
approved for commercial
coming by the County Coun-
Gil this week.
The property, owned by Helen
F. Denit, is only partially recon.
mended for commercial use in
the master plan for the Upper
Northwest Branch Watershed.
Both the Montgomery Counts
Planning Board and its tech
nical staff had limited their ap.
proval of commercial rezoning
to the triangular northwestern
portion of the tract which meets
at the intersection, and urged
the remainder-ex except for a
portion facing Sandy Spring
Road recommended for park
purposes-be retained in rural
residential coming.
Although one of the attorneys
for the applicant, William M.
Candy, conceded there's more
commercial here than we need
right away" the Council voted,
go, with Thomas M. Wilson alb
staining, for preparation of a
resolution granting commercial
reZoning of the entire tract.
In another major rezoning
action this week, the Council
passed an amendment to the
coming ordinance which will per-
nit scientific society headquar-
tiers to be built anywhere in the
county except in residential
areas of large estates.
Requested by attorney r.
Robert Linowes on behalf of the
American Speech and Hearing
Association, which seeks to
build its home offices in the
county, the new amendment
limits the portion of total prop
erty such buildings may occupy
to IS per cent and requires
minimum setbacks of at least
80 feet on their sides and 20
feet in front.
Construction is to conform to
height and other limitations i'm
posed in the zone in which the
building is built.
Linowes told the Council last
week the zoning would attract
extremely desirable" organiza-
tons to the county, many of
whom are now headquartered
in Washington.
The county heads also ap.
proved rezoning of over 2.5
acres of residential land along
River Road between Little Falls
Parkway and Clipper Lane to
heavy industrial use, and ap.
proved the Redistribution of 1.3
acres of rural residential prop.

College Students From Many States Meet

Petit and Kenyon have dis
covered in their discussions
that Rhode Island and Alaskan
agriculture, however separated
geographically and by size,
have one thing in common
dairying.
Pettit's family moved to its
present farm within the past
decade and now owns $50 acres
and leases about 1000 more in
the Matanuska Valley approx
imately SO miles north of An
ehorage
Although Petit describes his
family's farming operation as
lust starting to build" it is
hardly average as Alaskan
farms go. They have for ex-
ample, h only registered
Hereford cattle in the state and
raise grain as a cash crop.
1--WE have to watch the
mountains closely when the
grain starts to ripen-it may
snow before we get it harves-
ted" he explains. The growing
season in Pettit'S region is three
months and the temperature
range is from 30 degrees be-
low zero to 100 degrees above.
Potatoes and vegetables are
grown in large quantities, and
Petit notes that "cabbages up
to 60 pounds have been raised |
for exhibit purposes. . The av-
erage dairy herd is about 40,
and average production is at /
least 10000 pounds.
The l60-acre farm is the |
most common Petit contin-
ues, ''and the price per acre is
about $3.50 for cleared land
where | live. Uncleared land |
is about $500 an acre-it costs
about 500 an acre to clear the
heavy timber"
And Kenyon reports dairy
ing the biggest business Rhode
Island farms because it costs
too much to fatten cattle. Most /
grain IS brought in, and what
is raised is used for silage.
Kenyon notes the average
Rhode Island herd is about 40,
as in Alaska.
But where more farmers are
getting started in Alaska, more
are leaving the land in Rhode
Island.
