Urgent Need: A Specialist!

1t is not simply that we bursting with local pride think
Montgomery County is one of the finest, most unique
communities in the United States. Every statistic in the
book backs us up on this.
Our physical size 600 square miles, and popua

United States the United States Government says have

County Council
Some effort has been made industrial and economic
development here but the primary responsibility has been
assigned to Jack Hasset county director of information
and economic development, who has had many additional
duties Now Mr. Hassett is leaving and the Council must
reappraise the crucay important economic development

Giles Case

With the recent United

death unless the citizens of
Maryland en- masse express
their outrage now to Governor

justice. These Negroes are

with a white girl, but they are
not guilty of the charge of
criminal rape. The legal con-

an essential element of the
crime" No suggestion of vic.

substantiated by the prosecu.

stated that no violence or
threat of violence to her was
committed.
The girl admitted in court
that she did not resist and &C.
cording to her own testimony
invited the intimacy of one of
the boys. How then can a
rational human being, having
studied carefully such testi.

New US. Satellites Will SnoOp Out Any Atomic Tests In Outer Space

WASHINGTON R-The United States will launch the first of a series of satellites within the next two months designed for detec- ton of secret nuclear test millions of miles out in space.
 Secretary of Defense Robert s. McNamara told about it Tuesday during his testimony supporting ratification of the nuclear teSt-ban treaty.
 He said, AS a practical matter, illegal clandeStine testing in deep space is not a reasonable propo- sition for the Soviet Union, and, in any event, it's one against which We can protect ourselves"
 "Megaton weapons tests, equi- valent to million tons of TINT or more, would have to be conducted more than 20 million miles from the earth-8O times the distance to the moon--if they were to have a good chance of escaping detec- tion by ground-ba based system" McNamara said in his prepared statement.
 Such a system could be install led quickly by the Western, or even the neutral nations, McNa- mara said.

French Activity Leads To Speculation on Atomic Test In Sahara Desert

ALGIERS R - French army convoy activity led to speculation today that a new French nuclear test is imminent in the Algerian Sahara
 The London Daily Telegraph said France may conduct a test underground. Both the Fr e n h and Algerian governments main- tained silence on this and other reports about the prospects.
 Underground testing is sanction ed under the limited nuclear test ban treaty drawn up by the United States, Britain and the Sovi e t Union in Moscow and since signed by many nations, but rejected by France.
 SignerS renounce tests in the at mosphere, outer space and under water.

Miss Italy Leads Mutiny Of Queens at International Beauty Contest

LONG BEACH, Calf. R- Said Miss Italy, her green eyes flash ing angrily: Beauty queens should not be pictured flat on their backs"
 With swirl of her long, low cut gown, Anna Luis Arispoli then proceeded to lead the worlds most beautiful mutiny.
 It started Monday when a re- porter and photographer for a na- tional magazine told 87 contest ants in the International Beauty Congress they wanted them to pose lying on the floor of Long Beach Arena-in formalS.
 Snapped Miss Arispoli, P, thru her hostess-interpreter: We don't do things this way in Italy"
 Most of the contestant began dutifully to sink to the floor, like a field of willing flowers, while the photographer climbed high in the arena for the angle he desired.
 A small knot of dissidents, in- spired by Miss Italy's refusal, gathered behind her.
 Japanese girls don't do this sort of thing, either" said Miss Japan, Shizulo Shimazu of Tokyo.
 Tt would ruin my gown," said Lori Lechner, Miss California
 The lovely mutineerS, number ing l6, stood haughtily aside. The other girls obligingly decorated the hardwood floor in a giant sun burst pattern, while the cameras clicked high overhead.
 The girls, here from the United States and 46 foreign nations, are all hopeful of winning the title of Miss International Beauty.

VA PUTS Teeth

PURCHASING PROGRAM

The Veterans Administrator
is putting teeth In the agree
ments which builders now must
sign not to discriminate against
prospective purchasers because
of race or color. administrator of
veterans affairs John S.Gleason,
Jr., said.
He said builders must admit
Negroes to new subdivisions or
give up CT financing which enable
them to sell their houses.
This strict adherence to the
terms of President Kennedy S or
der has resulted in VA action to
rescind the designation Of Chi
cago realtor as a VA manage
ment broker and in the removal
of a Florida builder from lists
of those eligible to do business
with the VA under the CT loan
program.
In discussing these matters.
the Administrator Of veterans
affairs said he was responsible
for the operation of the CT loan
programs, and also served as a
member of the President s Com
mittee on Equal Opportunity In
Housing.
In November 1862 President
Kennedy signed an Executive Or
der on housing, which. in part,
directed the Federal departments
and agencies to take everyproper
and legal action to prevent dis

ment. VAS policy is to sell or

The Judicial Process

1t is almost automatic that the most
severe tests of our judicial system oc-
cur in the cases Of individuals who do
not have general public approval. For
unless the rights Of even the most un-
popular men are safeguarded, then the
rights of all of us are in danger.
This is brought to mind by the JUS
tice Departments unrelenting efforts
to convict James r. Hoffa Of some
crime and thus topple him from the
presidency Of the international Bro
therhood Of Teamsters. However un-
savory Hoffa may be, and no matter
how much one may wish to see him re-
moved from control Of the nations big
gest union, the methods used against
him give rise to disturbing questions.
Hoffa has been brought to trial sew

government has not yet been able to
obtain conviction. 1t is going to try

Court of the United States. 1t went
there by way of an appeal, made by
five operating railway unions, from a
Circuit Court decision holding that the
railroads had the right to change work
rules they considered obsolete, useless,
and enormously wasteful in terms of
costs.
The railroads have so days, begin

Then the Court will decide whether oil

1t should be stressed that the rail

TeamSter officials are under indict-
ment. All this comes on the heels Of
the prolonged Mcclellan committee
hearings into Teamster affairs.
Hoffa and his associates should be
brought to book for any crimes they
may have committed. But there is a
most serious question whether the Jus

delta against Hoffa- and whether if
this is so, such vendetta does not run
counter to the best traditions of our

We do not raise this question out Of
sympathy for Hoffa, but out of concern
for the preservation Of fair judicial
processes in this country. 1t would be
poor thing if, for the sake of convict

were to weaken our guarantees Of equal
