Negroes Clemson
Appeal Studied
BY the Associated press

The United States Fourth Cir
cult Court Of Appeals has taken
under advisement the case of a
Negro student seeking admis-
sion to all-white Clemson Col
lege in South Carolina.
The court acted yesterday in
Alexandria. Va, after hearing
attorneys for the college and
for the student, Harvey B.
CAN'T, 10. of Charleston, S. c.
Mrs. Constance Baker Mot
ley. one of Mr.. Gantt's at
torneys, urged the court to issue
a direct order to Clemson TO
admit him for its spring term.
This would be similar to an or
der issued by the Fifth Circuit
Court in the case Of James H.
Meredith. a Negro who cracked
the segregation barrier at the
University of Mississippi.
Mr.. CAN'T is appealing the
decision of District Judge c. c.
Wyche Of the United States
District Court for Western
South Carolina, who found Mr..
CAN'T had not proved he was
denied admission because of his
race.

Maryland planners said yester-
day.
The Maryland National

Commission approved a reSolu-
ton requesting the two county

needed financial support from
the Metro agency.
Commission Vice Chairman

the resolution, said the Metro

said the Metro agency's budget

per cent since 1860. forcing
Montgomery's contribution TO

Senate Race
FeudDoubted
ByHorrison
BY ALEX PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND, Jan. 10 - Gov.
Harrison says there will be no
feuding between two former
governors and himself for the
seat of Virginia's senior Sena-
tor, Harry F. Byrd, whose term
expires next year
In effect, the Governor
counted himself out as a candi-
date for the office about which
there has been considerable
speculation as result of the
Senator's recent illness and
physical checkup in a Balti-
more hospital.
Gov. Harrison's comment was
prompted by a reporters ques-
ton at a weekly press confer
ence yesterday. The questioner
recalled that State Republican
Chairman Horace E. Henderson
of Mclean, in a pre-New Years
statement, predicted there
would be a fight between Gov.
Harrison and former Governors
Tuck and Battle for the Demo-
cratic nomination to thwart
what he described as the ambi-
tions of Harry F. Byrd, jr., to
succeed his father in the Sen
ate.
Il have no comment as far
as Gov. Tuck and Gov. Battle
are concerned" Gov. Harrison
said. Il assure you the present
Governor plans to be Governor
through 1864 and devote his
full time to the office.
HE (Mr. Henderson, pre-
dicted there would be fighting
and feuding. doubt if he lives
long enough to see Gov. Tuck,
Gov. Battle, Mr.. Byrd, jr., and
the present Governor feuding."
Gov. Harrison, who cannot
succeed himself, is serving a
term that expires in January,
1866.
Senator Byrd. top man in the
dominant political organization
which bears his name, declared
his intention to retire in 1858.
But at the urgent pleadings of
Democratic followers and the
General Assembly the Senator
who now is rs years old, agreed
to run for another term.

Delegates Support
Out|awing Pinba|Is
BY a Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-Mul-
tiple-odds pinball machines ap-
peared to be on their way out
in Prince Georges County to-
day as strong support to ban
them came from the county's
General Assembly delegation.
Edward T. Conroy, chairman
OF the county's House delega-
ton, said the delegates un-
doubtedly will support legisla-
ton expected to be introduced
to outlaw the machines.
The county's State Senator,
H. Winship Wheatley. indicated
that he also will support the
legislation.
Senator Wheatley said he
supported a move two years ago
in the Assembly to get rid of
the machines but that the bill
never got out of the House dele
cation. That was when the del
egation was controlled by the
old guard Sasscer Democratic
organization. The new delega-
ton is controlled by the In
dependent Democrats who
bucked the Sasscer organiza-
ton last year.
Former States Attorney Will
liam Kaylor recommended the
legislation two years ago. His
successor, Arthur A. Marshall,
jr., who took office a few days
ago said he will make the re-
quest again.
Multiple odds pinball ma
chimes have been a source of
controversy in Prince Georges
for many years. 1t is believed
by county authorities tn a t
operators of many of the So
called free-play machines con-
vert the free plays into cash
payoffs which are illegal in
Prince Georges.
Attempts have been made to
prosecute operators believed to
be making cash payoffs but it
has been difficult to get con-
victions.
The county's new sheriff,
William j. Jameson, has de-
clared war on the machines and
led a raid Monday night in
which several machines were
confiScated.
Mr.. Conroy said his delega-
ton had not received an Of
ficial request from the States
Attorney for legislation to
abolish the machines, but he
expects to get it soon.
With the House delegation
and Senator Wheatley behind
it, the bill would be almost
certain of passage. Other men,
bers of the General Assembly
usually go along with legisla-
ton dealing with only one To-
cality when it has the firm
backing of lawmakers from
that area.

Curb Sought
On Jury Role
BY a Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10. - A
century old Maryland law
which has figured prominently
in a recent Montgomery County
rape case, would be changed
under legislation introduced In
the General Assembly to curb
the powers of juries in Grim
inal cases.
Introduced by Delegate Maui
rice Cardin, Democrat of Balti-
more, the legislation would
limit juries to deciding the
facts of a case but not allow
them to interpret the law in
volved.
Backers of the change claim
that jury members usually are
not qualified to determine the
technicalities of the law apply
ing to criminal cases and that
this should be left to the Judge
This would leave the jury to
determine only the facts sur
rounding the criminal act
charged.
Maryland and Indiana are
the only States which still ad-
here to the concept that a jury
shall be the judge of the Law
as we'll as the facts. The valid
ity of the constitutional provi-
sion establishing this authority
was upheld recently by the
Maryland Court of Appeals.
Before the Court of Appeal.
was a case from Montgomery
in which two brothers, Johr
and James Giles, were sen.
fenced to death for the rape Of
a l6-year-old Hyattsville girl
A third man, Joseph Johnson
who was tried separately, has
since been sentenced to death
in the same incident.
Lawyers for the Gile
brothers argued that allowing
a jury to decide the law in
volved without guidance from
the trial judge deprives the &C
cused of due process and equal
protection of the law. T h e y
claimed the defendants were
found guilty on scanty evil
dence and that interpretations
of law as applying to rape &C
cusations formed an important
part of the case.
The Court of Appeals upheld
the constitutionality of tn G
Maryland system. 1t said that
despite the fact that other
States had either done away
with or trimmed down the con-
cept of a jury being the judge
of the law as we'll as the facts"
there has been no ruling from
the United States Supreme
Court that the system is I'M
constitutional.
The Maryland court said the
attorneys should find their re-
lief with the legislative branch
of government.

Ohio Gov. Michael v. Disable
lost a Montgomery County
court battle today to get the
testimony-before he leaves of
flee Monday-of a Rockville
man about the death Of the
mans wife four years ago.
County Circuit Court Judge
Walter H. Norman killed a
subpoena ordering william S.
Bergen, jr.. of 2l2 Congress
sional lane, Rockville, TO give a
deposition under oath to Ohio
authorities.
Gov. Disable had indicated
he would fly to Montgomery
County to take the deposition
in person il Judge Norman
ordered Mr.. Bergan to give 1t.
However. the judge today up
held a motion to quash the
subpoena made by Mr.. Bergen's
attorney. Joseph A. McMen-
amin. The subpoena had been
signed by Judge Norman De-
cember % end served on Mr..
Bergen.
The Judge also ruled that If
an order for deposition were
issued by an Ohio court of
record. he would order another
subpoena.
Takes Personal Issue
Two attorneys represented
the Ohio Governor. who had
taken a personal interest in the
case of Mrs. Edythe Klumpp.
She confessed four years ago
to the murder of Mr.. Bergen's
former wife in Ohio, and was
sentenced TO die in the electric
chair. But Gov. Disable COM
muted the sentence TO life In
prison after Mrs. Klumpp
changed her story under the
effects Of a truth serum.
The Ohio Pardon and Parole
Commission ordered Mr.. Ber-
gen 10 give a deposition about
the circumstances surrounding
his wifes death as part OF It's
consideration OF a fun pardon
petition for Mrs. klumpp.
This court finds that no
writ or mandate has issued out
OF a court Of record OF Ohio
and orders that the motion TO

tanned" Judge Norman said.
