Despite a thorough search of

SILL Million
Is Surplus
In Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 16 (AP)
Maryland wound up the las
fiscal year on June 80 with {
surplus of SILT million. Con.
troller Louis L. Goldstein re-
ported today.
In addition to this, Gov
Tawes will have Sc million in
a deficiency reserve, making a
total of SLIT million available
to help balance the next
budget.
He used $20.7 million of sur
plus funds to balance the
budget now in operation.
Mr.. Goldstein said in his
opinion the $17.7 million in un-
spent funds means the State
could get through another year
without a tax increase, but only
if it holds the line on services.
If new programs are added, he
said, a tax increase probably
will be required.
Gov. Tawes and legislative
leaders are considering propos-
ais for more State spending on
education and highways, and it
appears likely that new pro-
grams will be submitted to the
legislature in February.
Controller Goldstein in an
nouncing the final figures for
the past budget noted that the
State collected Sc million more
in taxes than the last official
estimate in December.
Another $50 million which
had been appropriated was not
spent and turned back to the
general treasury. The largest
such reverSion was $2.2 mil
lions by the Department Of
Education.
The biggest windfall from
taxes which had not been esti-
mated by the experts was on
income. Collections amounted
to $3.6 million more than pre-
dicted.

The National Park Service.
which has jurisdiction over the
parkway, first would have to
request the Maryland state
Roads Commission to take over
the parkway, but the park serv-
ice is on record as favoring the
transfer.
According to the understand
ing reached yesterday, trucks
would be permitted to use the
parkway until a new route, to
be part of Interstate 95, is built.
Completion of this section of
Interstate 95 is tentatively set
for 1866, officials said yester-
day.
Requested Earlier
Earlier this month, Maryland
officials announced they were
asking to make the parkway
part of Interstate 95. The move
would have made the parkway
eligible for 80 per cent Federal
matching funds, but would have
eliminated the long-planned

would expedite con-

be built on its presently ap-

ON A WARM, HUMID Au-
gust day, on entering the
gardens you can't believe you
are in Washington. You can
almost hear the rank vege-
tation growing and you
would not be a bit surprised
if a monkey dropped out OF
a tree. The atmosphere is
that of the Florida Ever
gladeS or the tropical rain
forest of the Amazons.
Yesterday was not hot
enough for the illusion. There
was compensation. The pond
lilies stayed open a couple
of hours extra. On a hot day
they will start closing at 10.
Kenilworth Gardens is the
land of the lotus. Their huge
pink blossoms are now at
their best. 1t is also the loca-
ton of one of the biological
marvels of earth. There one
sees lotus in bloom grown
from seeds 10000 years old.
The seeds were unearthed in
the 1920'S in Manchuria by
a Japanese botaniSt, DR..
Ichiro Olga.

tests have left no doubt of
their antiquity. The lotus
seed develops a hard shell.
Within the shells, left high
and dry in the bed of a lake
that lost its water not long
after the last Ice Age, life
was suspended for a millen-
mum.
1t is also the locale OF
tropical water lilies.
They were wide open and
numerous.
What would you call
their color?' I asked Ludwig
Schneider, a blond young
man who was guiding us
along the paths between the
ponds.
"CeriSe is the best I can
do" he said.
Cerise is the French word
for cherry.

Man Is Freed
In Appeal on
Trial Delays
District Court Hit
On Holding Suspect
6 Months for Bail

Inc OIllCeQ states Court OF
Appeals has taken another slap
at the United States District
Courts granting the prosecu-
ton trial delays for criminal
defendants who must remain
in Jail because they can not
obtain their freedom on bond.
The appellate court freed a
convicted narcotics possesSor
because the United States at
torney'S office had obtained
five delays in his trial, totaling
l02 days, while he remained in
jail unable to obtain bond.
In a 2-to-1 decision written
by Circuit Judge Henry w.
Edgerton, the court held that
the delay amounted to a denial
OF speedy trial as guaranteed
by the Sixth Amendment.
Although Judge Edgerton
noted that the delays were re-
quested by the United States
Attorneys Office and carefully
refrained from mentioning the
District Court, it is only the
District Court judges who can
grant continuances.
Danaher DiSSents
And the single dissenting
opinion written by Circuit
Judge John A. Danaher noted:
IF some members of this
court are not satisfied with the
way the criminal calendar is
administered in the District
Court, there are other ways and
means open to the court to deal
with the situation"
Last July Is, Chief Judge
David L. Bazelon of the United
States Court of Appeals named
two of his circuit court judges
to sit on the District Court
as trial judges while the Dis
trict Court has slowed down
during the summer vacation
period.
Judge Dissatisfied
Judge Bazelon took the ac-
ton because he was said to be
dissatisfied with the 1855
criminal defendants who were
in jail on June 80 and who
would have had to remain there
all summer because they could
not obtain trials nor their free
don on bail.
The Appellate Court action
yesterday involved Raymond
Smith who was arrested on Oc-
tober "a, 1861 on narcotics
charges. He could not post ST.
500 bond and went to the D. C..
Jail. On November 10, he was
indicted and on November IT
he pleaded not guilty. A trial
was set for January 8 but a
succession of continuances was
granted so that he was not
tried until April Is, almost six
months later.
Six COntinuances
OF the six continuances
granted by the District Court,
five were at the request of the
United States attorneys Of
flee for a total of 1O2 days, and
one was granted to the defense
counsel for one day, Judge
Edgerton said, noting:
Because he could not buy a
$500 bail bond, the appellant
was imprisoned, despite the
legal presumption of innocence.
while he waited to be tried"
In dissenting, Judge Danaher
pointed out that the defense
counsel had not objected to any
OF the continuanceS. In addi-
ton, Judge Danaher said that
the record indicates that at
least one 30-day continuance
was granted at the defense's
request.
He also said that the appel
late court had itself not found
a delay Of II months sufficient
to free a defendant.
