At a heaiing on the case, twn attorneys for the defendants pointed out that the warrant was obtained after a fellow employee complained he had made 30 bets with the workers.

The defendants have been released in $1,000 bail each Bersterman. Neuhaus and Cap Ion are charged with taking bets on horses in April and May, 1962 without the required stamp.

Albert Menchine, In Baltimore County Circuit Court, yesterday acquitted a young couple, who were not married at the time, of possession of pep pills when their attorney argued that they were illegally searched. The defendants were Fred M. Blankman, 20, of the 3G00 block Forest Hill avenue, and his wife, the former Rosaline M.

Fine, 20; formerly of the 5300 block Peer less avenue. Pills Spilled On Road Patrolman Leslie Winters tes tified that he stopped a car driven by Blankman at a red light on Edmondson avenue, There were five young people In the car, he said, and when the right door opened a handbag fell out and pills spilled on the road. The young woman said the car belonged to her father, but there was no registration in it. During subsequent investigation at the Wilkens Station, it was testified, other pills were taken from the couple. Simon Schonfield, defense coun sel, objected to the testimony, contending that police only discovered the articles after receiving information from one of the other youths.

The other occupants of the car were acquitted by Judge Lester L. Barrett, in a separate, earner trial. with Benson Quality It Wmm iMLET rOLHLORiCOJilEXiCO ON MCGINNIS Move Under Way Not To Name Him In Harford By I I) WARD G. I'IC KKTT A croup of Harford county Democrats have begun an attempt to head-off the appointment of D. Franklin to a acanty on the hoard of county commissioners.

Tin; Democratic Stale Central Committee, scheduled to me.et yes terday to appoint a successor to the late D. Paul McNabb, canceled the session and will await a rcc onimendiition from a group of political leaders from the northern section ot the county. Mr. McGinnis, who finished sec ond to Mr. McNabb in the Democratic primary in Mav of last voar had been considered the lending contender to till the vacancy on the three-member board.

Pnliiiml observers had considered it a vir tual certainty that he would he named to the post at yesterday's meeting. Attorney May Get Post The drive to stop the aonoint merit of the attorney by no means assures that he will not receive the post, but it further confuses the issue. A meeting Monday niyht, at winch about two dozen or more persons are expected, will be held at a home near Street, to recommend someone other than Mr. McGinnis. Those calling the session are inomas fcnodgrass and W.

Miles Hanna, both active in the Demo cratic party in the Fourth and Fifth election districts of the county, which comprise the third commissioner area. The man named to succeed Mr. McNabb must come from that district. "No Personal Grudge" "We have no personal grudge against anyone," said Mr. Hanna yesterday.

"Our concern is with good government. It is known that among those being mentioned for support at the Monday session are, ilson A Heaps, Maxwell W. Hankins and Arthur B. Henderson. Mr.

Heaps, is the former pres Ident of the Maryland Farm Bu reau; Mr. Hankins is on the county Zoning Board, and Mr. Henderson, whose name was mentioned earlier in the week as a possible choice for the commissioner post, finished third in the primary last year. The chairman of the State Central Committee, A. Freeborn Brown, said the meeting of the group will be held Tuesday afternoon, at which time the appointment will be made.

"We will certainly not be bound by the recommendation of these people meeting Monday, he said, "But we did want to give them the chance to express an opinion, once they requested it." In the past, positions left vacant in the local government have often been filled by the person who ran second in the last primary, although this tradition has been violated on occasion. The vacancy is due to the death last week of Mr. McNabb. He had won his second term to the board with a vote total of 3,670 in the primary. Court Rejects Appeal Judge John Grason Turnbull yesterday rejected Edwin C.

Ap person's bid for a new trial of charges that he lied to a Baltimore county grand jury investi gating county paving practices. A Circuit Court jury convicted the Fourteenth district highways superintendent of perjury December 6 after a four-day trial. Earlier on November 8, another jury had acquitted him of taking bribes, holding him immune to prosecution because he was "compelled" to testify before the grand jury. Prejudice Charged Paul J. Feeley, defense counsel, argued that Judge Turnbull prejudiced the jury by telling it that he sided with the majority of court opinions that hold bribery and perjury to be separate matters for trial.

He contended that a trial judge's remarks carry great weight with a jury, and "I was stripped of that defense by you adding your personal opinion." Judge Turnbull dismissed the contention, reminding counsel that: "We have a unique system.

Most Members To lose He said that most members of the tilen Burnie Chamber of Commerce have agivcd to close in addition to a number of chain stores. Some stores, he said, may stay open within the law to protest the operations of other stores which are expected to open. In any case, Mr.

Anderson said, he has asked police ofliccrs to arrest only the employees who actually make a sale in a store. In a supermarket arrangement, he said, this could include a sales- Sentences Of 2 Are Suspended Annapolis, Dec. 13 (Special I Judge Matthew S. Evans released an Annapolis youth and his mother on suspended 18-month sentences today on perjury charges arising from the youth's application for a marriage license. The defendants Arthur G.

Green, 18, and Mrs. Clara Green admitted at their Anne Arundel County Circuit Court trial last month that they falsified the license application in June. The youth, then 17, swore that he was 18, and Mrs. Green signed the bride's mother's name to a consent form when the couple were unable to get her permission to marry, the court was told. "I don't think you realized the seriousness of what you did," Judge Evans said when the ele- fendants appeared for sentencing today; 2 Are Convicted Of Usinn Drugs Judge John Grason Turnbull, in Baltimore county Circuit Court, convicted two youths of narcotics charges yesterday and ordered the Probation Department to prepare a pre-sentence report so he may dispose of the case next Friday.

The defendants were Paul W. Kemp, 18, of the 9000 block Or- hard View avenue, Randallstown, and Vincent M. Palacorolla, 20, of the 2J100 block Arlene circle, Woodlawn. Policemen investigating a holdup received a tip that two youths were seen acting suspiciously at a service station at Old Edmondson avenue and North Bend road. Using a pass key, the officers entered the men's room and found one youth wiping his arm with a red-stained towel and the other holding a hypodermic needle.

Brig. Gen.

Fred J. Delmore, who announced on Thursday that the National Inventory Control Point for Chemical-Radiological Material will be discontinued and its functions transferred to Jol-iet, 111., said the freeze action is part of a larger plan to aid the civilian employees. "None will be discharged until all efforts have been made to place them elsewhere," General Delmore continued. The transfer to Joliet, part of the economy moves by Robert McNamara, Secretary of De fense, will take from nine to twelve months to complete. All of the 200 civilians may move to Joliet, and be assured of their positions, it was said.

"Over a period of time, appeal changes just by dint of exposure," the spokesman said. "The show has been stronger in times past You don't wait until a program is fiat on its back to drop it. "It's very difficult to say that it is the most popular or unpopular program," he added. "You're dealing with so many variables." Mr.

Deane said that the station's plan had been to begin integrated with "little kids" and then gradually introduce it to teen-age dancers. "There were many, many complaints" after the experiments with children, he said. Special programs for the USO and the Catholic Youth Organization had shown Negro and white adults dancing together without any trouble, Mr. Deane added, because "everybody knows the Army is integrated." Many Attempts Made "Integrated dancing is more delicate than schools or jobs," he continued. "The management was 100 per cent for integration and made many attempts without any cooperation from Negroes." "They have gone to the civil rights leaders and nobody solved the problem of how to integrate," he said.

"Everybody said it could do a lot more harm than good. Everybody talks about integration, but nobody wants to do anything about it." The station spokesman ad mitted the talks with civil rights leaders, but said that they were part of other discussions with "literally hundreds of other people regarding public accep tance of the Deane show."

Liberty St. PL. 2-4797 Sutton Place Gift Shop 685-3149 BOX OFFICE OPFNS 7 10 FM. LT 9.9251 Buddy Deane, emcee of WJZ-TV's afternoon teen-age dance party, charged yesterday that his program which is being dropped from the air after January 4 is the victim of an "insoluble" inte gration problem. The station was bombarded with complaints, from segregationists after its first tentative efforts at integrating the dancers on the program, Mr.

Deane said, and bombarded by integrationists when it failed to 'ntegrate the show altogether. "You're in trouble if you do and in trouble if you don't," he said. Station's Reason For Change The station promptly denied that the integration problem had any influence on its decision to drop the show and, said the change was merely one of several to "broaden the appeal of the Chan nel 13 program schedule." "Buddy Deane's daily appear anccs have been an integral part of a Channel 13 afternoon program schedule which has not been altered appreciably for over six years, the station said. "During this period of time, the tastes and viewing habits of the WJZ-TV audience appear to have changed considerably. To successfully discharge the responsi bilities inherent in its position of public trust, a television station must constantly be aware of the needs of its viewers and be prepared to take the steps to satisfy them.

"It is for this reason that the decision was made to revise the WJZ-TV program schedule," the statement concluded. Ratings "Softening" Mr. Deane's retort that his pro gram "reaches more homes than any other daytime program on that station was directly disputed $75 Is Stolen From Register Two men robbed a pharmacy in the 700 block Poplar Grove street of $75 late yesterday, Western dis trict police reported.

He said that, "In my opinion," the entire charge to the jury is an opinion and that he cannot bind the panel to anything. The judge noted that he, several times, told the jury that his charge was purely advisory and might be completely disregarded, along with anything said by lawyers for defense or prosecution. Mr.

Feeley maintained that a judge's remarks lose no force because the court tells the jury they may disregard them. Another point of the defense motion was that remarks in final argument by Frank H.
