Payment Urged
For Legal Hid
To IndigentS

Legislation to provide funds
for the employment of legal
counsel for INDECENT defendants
was urged by Judge H. Ralph
Miller, of Montgomery County
Peoples Court, at the recent
convention of Maryland States
Attorneys in Ocean City.
Under the present system,
Judge Miller noted, attorneys in
the state provide their services
on a voluntary basis in such
cases. He proposed, however,
that the State Legislature enact
a bill to provide payment for
the attorneys 80 that the pub
lie may rightly share in the ex-
penses of such undertakings"
In an earlier talk, Attorney
General Thomas A. Finan said
his own office is acting
promptly to preserve the rights
of INDECENT defendants and
urged that trial magistrates as
sign attorneys to defend these
without funds in any case where
the maxium sentence is in ex-
cess of six months imprison-
ment or a fine of $500.
Presiding over the annual
meeting was States Attorney
Leonard T. Hardy, of Mont
gomery County, president of the
State unit. Among other speak
ers was Thomas A. Lohn, a
member of the Montgomery
County attorneys staff, who
discussed recent legislation in
the field of criminal law within
the state.

"And BESIDES" young Mitch
added with dignity, "Booz-Allen
has loaned us a Gauss Meter -
that's an instrument that is
sensitive to the earth's magnetic
field. That's the field that af-
fects a compass, everyone knows
that"
Norton built special IVAN
tenna-like gadget which he will
aim at the sun as the moon ap.
pears to swallow her light. "The
suns noise has never been re-
corded during an eclipse to my
knowledge" he noted, with
magnetic measurements being
taken at the same time"
Mans interest in eclipses
dates at least as far back as TIC
BIC. when a solar eclipse was
mentioned in an ancient Chinese
Book of Poetry" Wars, assasi-
nations, medical quackery accu-
sations of witchcraft and hui
man sacrifice have resulted
from this strange phenonme-
non.
at is not surprising that
primitive man was deeply stir
red by this sight" Norton said.
with elaborate modern meas
uring devices we know the sun
is $4,000 miles in diameter,
compared to our tiny earth's
1918. And yet, an even smaller
moon, measuring only 2160
miles In diameter can, when
positioned at a certain spot be-
tween the sun and earth, COM
pletely blot out the sun as seen
on the earth"
According to astronomers, the
shadow of the moon sweeps
across the earth at speeds rang
ing from 100 to 5000 m.p.h. Yet
it takes approximately 21a
hours from the beginning Of the
eclipse to the end, according to
Norton.
In describing the total eclipse
which the Nortons and their
friends will view in Maine, Paul
S. Watson, curator of astron-
omy at the Maryland Academy
of Sciences had this to say:
"When the sun is half covered
you will see under every tree,
instead of the usual round spots
of light, hundreds of little cres-
cents. The landscape becomes
perceptively darker about a half
hour before totally and the sky
assumes a weird color"
"A few seconds before total
ity," Watson continued, you
can see the moons shadow in
the air, appearing as a vast
blue-black thunderstorm rush
ing with great speed upon the
observer. The thin remaining
crescent of the sun suddenly
breaks up into a number of
points of light called 'Bailey's
Beads ."
Commenting on the sudden
darkness, Watson said, 1T is as
if someone had turned off the
electric light. 1t is night and
the stars and brighter planets
NAV be SEEN"
The five Montgomery "scien.
lists will leave for Coratunk on
July 16, fully equipped with
camping tent and gear. They
will return two days after the
eclipse, hoping to bring back
an exclusive story and pictures
for The Montgomery County
Sentinel" according to Norton.

IS Victims
Still Sought
In Ship Crash

QUEBEC, July % (AP).-
Rescue crews continued to
search today for the bodies of
is victims of the collision Satur-
day of an ore carrier and a
freighter.
1t was the worst maritime
disaster in the st. Lawrence
River since 1914, when the
Empress Of Ireland sank with
the loss of more than 1000
lives.
Apparently 80 men - 81
Chinese, a Canadian and a
Briton-from the l2,863-ton
British ore boat Tritonica were
killed. The Tritonica sank eight
minutes after the collision As
miles northeast Of Quebec with
the 6,000-ton British freighter
Roonagh Head in a fog.
Eighteen bodies were re-
covered. Among the missing was
river pilot Armand Lachance,
go, who was aboard the ore
carrier. Seventeen Of the
Tritonica's crew were rescued.
All 35 crewmen and IL pas
sengers aboard the Roonagh
Head escaped injury. The pas
sengers included five children.
OF the Tritonica's 40 crew
members, II were rescued.
Authorities believe the miss
ing men persisted after gulping
a poisonous mixture of diesel
oil and water. The collision
smashed the Tritonica's fuel
tanks.
