RELAX EFFORTS,
PRIESTS TOLD

BALTIMORE, July IL (AP).
The Catholic Review, official
Catholic newspaper Of the
Baltimore Archdiocese, urged
today that priests no longer get
themselves arrested in racial
demonstrations at segregated
Gwynn Oak Amusement Park.
In an editorial in today's edi-
tons, the weekly said, 1--WE :,
feel that the two Baltimore
priests who were willing to test
the law in company with
clergymen Of other faiths have
admirably and effectively made
"a point which need not be re-
peated at Gwynn Oak by other
priests"
The editorial, however, criti-
cized Catholics who objected to
the presence of the priests in
the park and encouraged great
err participation by laymen In
the indignation movement.

$1.8MiIIion DC. Delay
Held Understandable

the Commissioners took no &C
ton until early in 1862 when
they requested the immediate
authority from Congress.
Schuyler Lowe, director Of
the District Department Of
General Administration, dis
putes this GAO contention and
states that on June 6, 1861, DR..
Finucane told the House APP
preparations Subcommittee for
the District about the legal bar
rier to District participation in
the medical assistance program.
However, Mr.. Lowe said mo
action was taken by the Appro-
priations Committee"
Mr.. Lowe also said that Con-
gress had adjourned the month
before the medical assistance
program went into effect in
October, 1860. He added that in
view of the fact that Congress
already had adjourned, it was
impossible for the District to
secure the necessary legislation
in 1860.
Mr.. Lowe said that even after
1t became possible for the Dis
trict to participate in the pro-
gram following passage Of the
legislation, there were difficult,
technical problems peculiar to
the District that had to be
worked out.
Irrespective of whether the
delay was avoidable," Mr.. Lowe
said, lit would appear that the
loss would not be monetary but
instead would have been in adj
ditional services that could have
been rendered to the aged"
ALSO the fact that the Dis
trict did not receive the grants
would mean a saving to the.

BY CHARLES PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Commissioner John B. Dun
can said yesterday that a de-
lay in applying for Federal
grants which the General Ac-
counting Office says costs the
District $1.8 million is under
standable."
He explained that most of
the delay was caused because
the District was blocked by a
legal barrier from participating
in the Kerr-Mills Medical AS
sistance Program for the Aged
and it took some time to bring
about passage Of bill elm
mating this barrier
The obstacle was a clause in
the District Appropriation Act
language requiring one years
residence for assistance eligi-
bility. This type of require
ment was banned for partici-
patton in the medical assist
ance for the aged program.
"The only period" Mr.. Dun
can said, when there was a
delay by the District was be-
tween the time when the legal
impediment was removed and
the time the District actually
submitted the necessary pro-
gram plan to get the Federal
funds"
The medical assistance pro-
gram became effective in Oc-
tober, 1860. The legislation
which removed the legal OBJ
stacle for city participation in
the program was approved in
October, 1862. The District
submitted its necessary data
for participation in March,
1868. The approval by the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare was made retro
active to January, 1868.
The GAO contends that on
December Is, 1860, the then
District health director, DR..
Daniel L. Finucane, recon-
mended the necessary legisla-
ton to the Commissioners.

Mr.. Hartman said it is

part because it may be a first
step toward reducing the risk
of nuclear war and in part be-
cause it puts the brakes on the
spread of nuclear weapons and
reduces the risk of radioactive
contamination of the air by
nuclear weapons explosions.
In addition to these reasons,
he said, the people of the
world want this treaty" and
failure of the United States to
ratify it would really be a
great victory for Mr.. Khru-

CountyDrops
7 PinbuII
Charges

Charges against seven per-
sons arrested in a pinball gam
bling raid January 7 in Prince
Georges County have been
dropped by States Attorney
Arthur A. Marshall, Jr.
They were nolle pressed Fri
day in Circuit Court before
Judge William B. Bowie. Mr..
Marshall said he was not going
to proceed with prosecution be-
cause, there's no purpose for
1t as far as I can see"
I'VE simply have eliminated
the multiple-odd machines, "
he said. There are none in
the county at all"
The seven, four of whom
were acquitted of the charges
in Peoples Court, were ar
rested in a raid conducted by
Mr.. Marshall and Sheriff Will
liam j. Jameson shortly after
they entered office last jan
uary. The men were charged
under the Wheatley law under
which no convictions ever have
been obtained.
The Wheatley law states that
possession of a $3.50 Federal
Gaming Tax Stamp is prima
facie evidence of gambling. A
new section written by Mr..
Marshall was added to the law
by the Legislature this year
which makes it illegal to own
a device for which the gaming
stamp is required.
The State appealed to Cir
cult Court the four acquittalS
but their trials and those of
the other three will not be held
because of yesterdays action.
Charges were dropped against
John V. Del Vecchio, Michael
R. Armaly and Angelo D. Va
.ente of the Tick Took Club,
Riggs road and University boul-
evard; Joseph and Francis A.
McCully and Ellis Coles of the
Skyline Restaurant, 1899 Suit
