A majority Of the District
Commissioners decided today
Ito bring the city'S Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board back
to the District Building, against
its will.
The ABC now occupies
rented offices at has Nine
tenth street NV. It was
moved there four years ago
from the District Building.
Voting to return this agency
to the city's central govern
mental building were Walter
N. Tobriner, president Of the
Commissioners and Col. Charles
M. Duke, the new engineer
commissioner.
Commissioner John B. Dun
can abstained because he said
he was not convinced that
there were adequate reasons
for the new move.
Mr.. Duncan said that the
abe board does not want to
move and he predicted that the
shift will affect morale"
Seen Sensitive Point
gThe unSpoken reason which
prompted the majority of the
board to vote for the move was
a feeling that any agency deal
ing with such a sensitive prob
lem as liquor licenses should
be located at the city's govern
mental headquarters.
The ABC will move into part
of the space on the second
floor of the District Building
which had been occupied by
the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
The PUG, also a reluctant
mover, was shifted earlier this
year to rented quarters at the

Crucial SegmentS
MFR. Gingery said he did not

hardy to attempt TO solve our

ignoring the three crucial
segments Of the overall high

He said he did not think the
highways should be "sabotaged

transportation"
Both he and ]. Newton

Maryland commission, agreed
that Maryland could not 60

the freeze was lifted.

Miller Seeks
New Formula
For Renewal

Senator Miller, Republican
Of Iowa, today temporarily
blocked a downtown Washing
ton urban renewal bill because
he wants to safeguard single
business property rights.
The legislation, reported by
the Senate District Committee,
has been the pending Senate
business for a week.
Today the bill was put off
for another week to give Sena-
tor Miller time to work out q
protective formula, If possible.
The House cleared the bill
last session but it was snarled
in the rush toward adjourn
ment in the Senate. This year,
a House District subcommittee
has yet to act.
Downtown Action Plan
Language would permit the
District Commissioners to use
urban renewal in commercial
as well as residential areas.
This, in turn, would clear the
way for rehabilitation of down.

for three years by business
leaders. Singled out for re-

State Tightens
Safety Rules
In Excavations
Prince Georges
is Major forget
Of Breakdown
BY PETER MASLEY
Star Staff Writer

BALTIMORE, July 8. - More
than 40 orders to correct I'M
safe conditions at excavations
have been issued in Prince
Georges County by State Of
ficials in the last six months.
These, and thousands of
other safety orders issued in
every county, represent a bet
ter inspection" policy of the
State department of labor and
Industry, a spokesman said.
Prince Georges County has
seen a rash of excavation ac-
cidents which have killed six
and injured more than IS
others since last December.
Both the county and State
governments have been crack
ing down on hazardous condi-
tons in construction jobs, par
ticularly in booming areas such
as Prince Georges and Mont
gomery.
Labor and industry records
show that the number of lost
time accidents in which peo-
pie are injured have been ris-
ing in both counties since 1860,
when annual figures were first
available.
Rise to 8 Per Cent
For calendar year 1862,
Prince Georges had 8 per cent
of the 1925 lost time acct
dents in the State. This is an
increase from ga per cent re-
corded by labor and industry
in 1860, when 1897 lost time
accidents occurred on-the-job
in Maryland.
At the same time, Montgom-
cry County's record has risen
from AZ per cent In 1860 to SIS
per cent in 1862.
In the first quarter of this
year, Prince Georges County's
lost time record has risen to
$40 per cent of the State total,
while Montgomery increased to
ga per cent, labor and indus
try figures show.
More at Work
State officials pointed out
that this does not necessarily
mean working conditions are
less safe in the counties be-
cause more people are working
now than In the past.
The department also report
ed that 625 safety inspections
were held in fiscal 1868 in
Prince Georges and 935 in 10
months Of the same year in
montgomery.
AS a result of the inspec-
tons. 1893 orders to correct
hazardous conditions were is
sued in Prince Georges, and
2,190 in Montgomery.
The majority of the inspec-
tons were in construction jobs.
SO Per Cent Compliance
These orders can be backed
up by court action if neces-
sary, but an official said that
they receive compliance in
about 98 per cent.
In order to strengthen the
departments ability to correct
unsafe conditions, the last
General Assembly granted the
department six new inspectors.
This action was a result of the
December % cave-in at the
Beltway Plaza shopping center
on Greenbelt road in Prince
Georges County. Five men were
killed.

The issue is critical. If better
race relations here (and else

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-Presi-

err Khrushchev - but with a big
string attached.
His condition was that select
group Of tn committeeman ex-
anime the letters and report
back to the full committee.
This proposition was emphati-
cally rejected.
Secretary Rusk made the pro-
posal at a private meeting with
the committee. Senator Bourke
Hickenlooper, Iowa, senior Re
publican member, asked for the
correspondence contending t
was necessary for complete
understanding Of the background
Of the nuclear test ban treaty
These numerous letters OBJ
viously played an important role
in this agreement. declared
Hickenlooper, land this commit
tee should have the opportunity
to look them over. I think that S
proper and reasonable re-
quest.
THE President directed me to
inform the committee. replied
Rusk. that he is willing to
make this correspondence avail
able to a select group. It can go
over the letters and report back
to the full committee. But the
President doesn't feel he can
submit this correspondence to
the committee as a whole. There
are a number Of precedents for
his position.
THAT is not acceptable to
me-" said Hickenlooper. This
alternative has been tried in the
past. and it proved unsatisfac-
tory. The full committee should
have access to these highly i'm
portant letters so all Of us will
have ample opportunity to study
them and prepare questions bas-
ed on them

the same time, he pointed out
that the letters might not reveal

been withstood. 1t has not been easy
In 1861, the federal court denied the
parents Of the county access to the state
and county scholarship funds which had
been established by Acts of the General
Assembly of 1860. The parents of Prince
Edward were not dismayed.
In 1862, the federal court indicated
that unless Prince Edwards public
schools were opened, all public schools
in Virginia must be closed.
In 1868, the Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals reversed these decisions, stat
ing that the judge should have abstain
ed from making any decision until the
Virginia Constitution had been constru-
ed by state courts. An order to this eff
feet may be expected on or before Sept
ember II. thirty days following the de-
cision. The NAACP attorneys will at
tempt an appeal of this order to the
U. S. Supreme Court.
There the matter lies. There the I'M
certainties exist. There the questions
lIldy llc lOI duOtncT wear.
Other pressures have been exerted
upon Prince Edward Mass media ma
tionally have failed to tell the legal
and factual story. The emotional story
of children out Of public schools has
been drilled in the public mind, giving
an untrue image Of the people of Prince
Edward.
Individuals and organizations have
come to Prince Edward county for the
past two summers to conduct remedial
educational programs Of questionable
value.
Training schools were conducted by
the NAACP for two years in winter
months.
American Friends Service Committee
aided in sending qualified children to
other states.
Many children have found education
in adjoining counties.
Resolutions by public school teacher
associations have urged opening of
schools, while integrationist organiza-
tons have criticized the county regular
ly.
Northern newspapers and two or
three Virginia newspapers have missed
no opportunity to urge Prince Edward
to capitulate
The people of Prince Edward have
travelled the second mile by cooperating
in the opening Of the Free School, yet
have never compromised the principles
for which they have stood. They must
win this legal fight. Too much sacrifice
has been made, the questions involved
are too grave, the answers too import
ant to the liberty and freedom Of all
Americans and to the future of educa-
ton for their cause to be lost.
1t is hoped the courts will make their
final decisions before another school
year.

it is good to have schools open

education is the duty Of the To-

With the appalling amount Of

educational task waits to be ac-

THE new Free School has problems

And when the school opens it should be
