The ,
Rambler
... Is Given
Book of Jonesiana
By GEORGE KENNEDY
Some one slipped the Ram
bler » privately printed book.
‘Should Uncle Sam Pay—
When and Why?”
The subtitle was: “Select
ed Opinions of Marvin Jones,
Chief Judge of the Court of
Claims.”
The Rambler has long
been a fan of Jonesian prose.
While he is not competent
to pass on such a large body
of literature, he is of the
opinion that legal prose has
deteriorated since the days
of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Most of the judicial con
tributors to our flood of
printed literature are cliche
polishers. They seem to
think they have made a con
tribution to our language
when they change the order
of the words.
o
NOT JONES. His thought
has imagery that makes it
stand out from the printed
page. This little volume in
cludes his opinion in the
case of Whitman Publishing
Co., a corporation, versus the
United States.
The company thought it
was unfairly dealt with when
its games, including Lotto
and Bingo, packaged for
children, were taxed as
games for adults.
In his opinion which found
some of the games, especially
Bingo, to be for adults, and
some for children, the judge
wrote: “We have carefully
examined the evidence, in
cluding that of the expert
witnesses whose opinions are
almost as varied as the
games.
“We have also examined
the games with greater in
terest. ... To a mind steeped
in material things, seeing an
elephant is far more reveal
ing than reading a descrip
tion of the animal.”
It’s not only his prose, it’s
the way he swings a big ax
cutting through the red tape
binding the package that
comes up to him out of this
Government of lawyers, laws
and regulations.
Lawyers were of the opin
ion that nothing could be
done to deny back pay to
three young men who de
fected as prisoners of war in
Korea and spent a couple of
years in ComnWfiSt China.
Judge Jones took care of that.
He denied their claim. It’s
being appealed. We’ll see.
l>>Xo ,<y
MUCIB MORE DISTURB
ING is the case of Charles N.
Stillman, administrator of
the estate of Gerald C. Still
man, deceased, versus the
United States.
Gerald C. Stillman died as
a prisoner of war in 1944.
He was a second lieutenant
of artillery in the Philip
pines.
Charged with the duty of
evacuating wounded through
enemy lines, his accomplish
ment was such that he was
posthumously awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross.
He was with Battery A.
When the captain of Battery
C was killed, one lieutenant
was wounded and the other
had deserted, he was given a
written order by his major to
command the unit. This he
did for about two months
until the general surrender
of Bataan.
All the administrative rec
ords of the provisional bat
talion were lost during the
Battle of Bataan. After the
war 'the father asked the
Army if his son should not
have the pay of a captain
during the two months he
commanded the battery and
the two years he spent in a
prison camp before his death.
In time he received this
letter from the Adjutant
General:
“It is the considered opin
ion of the Department of the
Army that there is no evi
dence to indicate that Lt.
Stillman exercised under as
signment in orders issued by
competent authority (i.e., is
sued by the President under
i of Article of War
I*\ a command above that
per, Sning to his - grade,
withu\the meaning of the
Act of » April 1898. Ac
cordingly, on the basis of this
opinion, he is not entitled to
additional pay during the
time in question.”
In his opinion, in which
his fellow judges joined him,
Judge Jones noted that
“there was little time for
paper work, and communica
tion with Washington was
practically non-existent, es
pecially for several weeks
prior to the surrender. ... in
all the circumstances of this
case, the defense is a very
technical one, amounting al
most to a legalism. . . . The
plaintiff is entitled to recover
the sum of $1,346.29."
“A legalism." That’s pret
ty strong language from the
bench.

Scales Pass ;
Weighty
-T ruck T est 1
I
The District’s Highway De
partment tested and settled a <
weighty problem on the Mu- <
nicipal Court parking lot today. ]
The problem: Whether the (
department's four portable ,
scales the police use to measure (
truck weights are accurate. ,
Assistant Corporation Coun
sel Clark King believes they are. ,
He has successfully prosecuted
240 out of 241 truck drivers who i
have been charged with driving ;
overweight trucks in the past ,
six months. i
But a truck company owner
who came into .Mr. King's office
last week for a hearing doeg
not believe the scales are acg ■
curate. Mr. King agreed to a
test. 4 1
This morning, he called in J;,,
Thomas Kennedy? chief of the
District's weight, measures ano
market division of the Departs
ment of Licenses and Inspec
tions the official weighing
agency for the District.
He also called in the division’s!
30.080-pound scale for testing
trucks.
For the solution. Mr. King
< had a crew of five highway de
partment men headed by Carl
A. Wilson, their chief, test the
weights and measure truck on
the highway department scales.
In five test weighings, the
scales registered an average of
nearly 30.000 pounds.
i Mr. King said this satisfied
him the scales are accurate.
i Mr. Wilson, beaming proudly
at the results, said, “I never had
any worries about it myself.
We’re not weighing $1.97
steaks.”

Boating Fans
Assured New
I Facilities
Boating fans can be assured
lof new facilities along the re
' developed Southwest water-■
front, but major boat repair
I centers probably won't be in
cluded. according to the head
of the Redevelopment Land
Agency.
John R. Searles, jr.. execu
tive director of the RLA, yes
terday told a luncheon meeting
of the River and Harbors Com
mittee of the Metropolitan
Washington Board of Trade
that boating will be a major;
feature of the new waterfront.
However, concern was voiced
by members of the group over
problems boating businesses
now located on the Maine ave
nue waterfront will face in re
locating elsewhere.
Samuel H. Kauffmann, presi
dent of The Evening Star News
paper Co. and chairman of the
Urban Renewal Committee of
the Federal City Council, told
the group he believes the wa
terfront design must include i
boat clubs, boat servicing fa- 1
cilities and all auxiliary services
for boating.
He said such facilities are
“essential to the economic
health of the waterfront.”
But he added and Mr.
Searles voiced similar views—
that a major boat repair yard
probably should not be in
cluded in the new waterfront as
not in keeping with the char
acter of the over-all plans.
The group ' heard Mrs.
Chloethiel Smith, local archi
tect, describe the plan she de
signed for redevelopment of the
i waterfront area.'
Renewal Aides |
Fight Delay on
Adams-Morgan
Walker, Deanjkay
Fear Dampening
Os Citizen Interest
Top Federal and city urban
renewal officials today attacked
the suggestion of Chairman
McMillan of the House District
Committee to postpone the
planning of the Adams-Morgan
project.
Mr. McMillan wrote Admin
istrator Norman P. Mason of;
the Housing and Home Finance i
Agency that planning funds for ’
Adams-Morgan should be with
held “until such time as some
final expression is made by the
Congress regarding the Re
development Land Agency pro- ]
gram in the District of Colum-,
bia.”
The District Committee
chairman further stated that
“it appears probable" that ai 1
majority of those in the Adams-1
Morgan area oppose the proj- 1
ect “contrary to the represen
tations of professional pro
ponents of renewal programs ”
Walker Opposes Delay
Commissioner David M
Walker of the Federal Urban
Renewal Administration said he
would recommend to his boss
that the McMillan request be
disapproved: Mr. Walker said
delays "always have the effect
of lessening citizen interest in
an urban renewal project.”
adding that now is the time to
kindle the Enthusiasm rather
than dampen it.
Robert E. McLaughlin, chair- ;
man of the District Board of
Commissioners, agreed with Mr. |
Walker that such delay is un
desirable. Mr. McLaughlin
added that the District Com
missioners had approved the
planning money application
after long deliberation.
“By and large,” he said, “we
do have the support of the city”
on the Adams-Morgan project.
He said the planning money
would permit a thorough study
of the possibilities of rehabili
tating the Adams-Morgan area,
contending the study certainly
would be “appropriate.”
Dean Richard M. Bray of
American University, the super-
I visor who set up the citizen
i organizations for the Adams
!lMorgan project, said the pro
i posal has been “completely
aired” and any further delay
would Just “make the citizens
i lose heart’.”
Donald D. Gartenhaus, chair
. man of the Adams-Morgan Cit
b izens Planning Commission,
t charged ’thit Mr. McMillan
; “had betrayed those citizens’*
/trying to plan the rejuventation
J of their neighborhood.
$464,60* Involved
. Mr. McMillan asked Fed
eral administrators to with
hold $464,000 for planning the
AdamsjMorgan project.
II The implication of Mr. Mc-
Millan's letter to Mr. Mason
t was more far-reaching. The
' chairman made it clear that
1 he stood with the House of
! Representatives in its over
-1 whelming vote last session to
■ half all other renewal projects
! until the Southwest Washing
[ ton program was 50 per cent
. completed.
I yhe Senate District Commit
tee postponed action on the
r House bill pending an investi
[ gation of its own.
Mr. McMillan came to Wash
j ington this week for a separate
hearing and was briefed by
representatives of the Kalo
rama Citizens Association and
the Lanier Place Protective
Association. The Kalorama
group in November pulled out
of the Adams-Morgan planning
committee and voted for Fed
eral withholding of Federal
funds for this demonstration
project.
The project was designed to
determine if citizens themselves
1 successfully could plan renewal
-of their neighborhood. The
. Adams-Morgan area is bounded
r by Rock Creek Park, Florida

‘ streets. Columbia road. Lanier

Brown Quits ABC Unit
In Arlington Uproar
Chairman of County Board Leaves
'Coalition on Outside Politics Issue
By JOHN BARRON (
Star Staff Writer t
County Board Chairman Herbert Brown stunned his col- i
leagues last night by angrily quitting the coalition which domi- (
nates Arlington politics.
His unexpected resignation abruptly ended in silence a 1
tumultuous meeting of the executive council of the Ailing- 1
vvsvrtao via vssv CAC
tonians for a Better County and
left the coalition bitterly di
vided. ]
Mr. Brown rose to declare he |
is through with the ABC and, in ,
.effect, with politics, after rhe |
i council had refused to indorse a
resolution restricting outside po
litical activity of county board
members.
Controversy Built Up
His action, together with the
meeting itself, which was
charged with personal acri
mony. climaxed a controversy
that has been developing within
the coalition ever since Ralph
Kaul temporarily stepped from
it to run unsuccessfully for Con
gress as a Democrat.
Mr. Brown told the council:
“I have to tell you in all
candor that I personally cannot
continue to function in the en
vironment in which I have had
ito function. I feel that if the
integrity of the ABC as a coali
tion is threatened, I cannot re
main.
"I am submitting my resig
nation from ABC herewith. I
will serve out my term (as a
county board member) and
remain loyal to the principles of
ABC. I will not be a nominee
of any other party and I will
do nothing to embarrass ABC.
You have my resignation here
with.”
Mr. Brown then walked out.
iThe council almost instantly
adjourned.
Mr. Brown’s departure makes
. questionable how much control,
the ABC as an organization,
now will be able to exert over;
the county board.
It cut the coalition majority;
J on the five-member governing;
’ body from four to three. And'
’ because of' his close relation
1 with Independent Ernest Wilt.
ABC member Leo Urbanske and
newly elected ABC representa-,
tive Thomas Richards, Mr.
’ Brown probably will remain
' very influential during the last 1
year of his term.
Tempers broke loose last
night as council members ar
gued about the restrictive rqie :
lution passed by the Me mcec
utive committee last week.
Mr. Urbanske tWice threat
ened to quit if the committee
were repudiated.
Referring to Mr. Kaul’s con
i gressional candidacy, Alan

“Mr. Brown has been com- 1

This statement provoked *
shouts of “sit down,” “shut up” 1
and "get off the floor,” from ]
some of the many partisans of
Mr. Kaul who seemed to pre- 1
dominate.
But Mr. Dean added that J
the other ABC board membeis
had not been able to consider ’
Mr. Kaul as a teammale tills

Mr. Kaul denounced the as
sertion as “an uncalled-for 1
personal attack."
He announced he intends to
distribute to every ABC mem
ber the record of his voting
and attendance.
Mrs. Ruth Cox and a parade
of other prominent coalition

$700,000 Yield
Seen in Proposal
To Legislators
By DANA BULLEN
Stir Staff Writer
The Montgomery County
Council, searching for addi
tional revenue, has decided to
ask the county’s legislative
delegation to support a pro
posal for a $5 local tax on mo
tor vehicles.
The proposal was one of a
number of legislative items
considered by the council last
night at a work session in prep
aration for a meeting with the
delegation next Wednesday.-
The wheel tax, imposed In
neighboring Virginia suburbs
but prohibited in Maryland,
would yield an estimated $700.-
000 a year, county council
members were told.
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher said the motor vehi
cle tax. if approved by the 1961
Legislature, should be used to
offset street lighting costs.
He suggested that the county
turn over about $140,000 of the
estimated revenue to town gov
ernments to pay for their
street lights. The county’s an
nual lighting bill comes to
about $560,000, Mr. Butcher
said.
Would Carry Tags
Under a plan originally sug
gested a year ago by the coun
cil's Financial Advisory Com
mittee, motorists would be is
sued small county license
plates for attachment above or
below Maryland State tags.
Motor vehicles were exempt
ed from personal property tax
ation, the committee said, more
than 10 years ago. A third of
the State auto registration fee
is returned to counties instead.
While the State registration
fee—and the return to the
counties—has stayed constant,
the committee noted the value
of autos has increased tre
mendously. #
The committee proposed the
wheel tax “to bring the tax
return from motor vehicles to
the county more nearly in line
with their value as property.”
The committee said it did not
recommend a return to the* for
mer system of taxing autos as
personal property..
, In other action, the countll:
i Skirted detailed discussion of
reapportionment proposals but
decided to urge the delegation
to do the best it could to in
crease representation of larger
counties in the Legislature.
Tax Rise Backed
] Backed a proposal of the
State Association of County
Commissioners for an increase
in the State income tax from 3
per cent to 3*/a per cent with
an increased share for counties
in which the revenues were
collected.
Urged continued study by
State bfficials of proposals to
give more populous counties a
greater share of gas tax
revenues.
Took no action on a proposal
that the county levy a 1 per
cent tax on real estate transfers.
The council will meet Mon
day to consider other proposals
for legislation dealing with
deputy sheriffs, hand gun sales,
civil defense, swimming pools,
planning, sewers and trash
; collection.
