"When I am mayor after May 3," said the Republican candidate, "I shall call together every man and woman doing such inspection work, and I shall say to them 'From this point on, there isn't a politician in Baltimore city who can prevent you from doing your duty. The Hopkins statement was apparently issued with a threefold purpose to further his campaign of "constructive" suggestions, to woo additional city employes to the GOP cause and to gain favor with Baltimoreans who have daily contact with the city's inspection services. Termed Underpaid Concerning the inspectors, Mr. Hopkins said: "For the most part, (they) are underpaid, considering the responsibilities they have to assume.

Tucker, before whom he elected to stand trial without a jury. Although the former prizefighter wanted to be sentenced immediately, Judge Tucker deferred imposing a penalty, explaining that he wanted to ponder the punishment. The robbery attempt fell flat when the intended victim appeared unexpectedly with a gun and routed the two hoodlums imported from New York to pull the stickup. One of the would-be bandits was wounded as he fled.

He wants to give them the chocolate and to make sure this time they reach their destination.

The law officer, according to Sheriff J. Lee Ball, was escorting the youths to the Maryland Training School for Boys yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Wells explained he was making out commitment papers for the two when one asked for a bar of candy. "We may not be getting any more where we're going," they said. Descriptions Sent Out The appeal was too much for the soft heart of Mr.

Wells. Having no change, he slipped out to break a dollar for the candy machine in the Upper Marlboro courthouse. When he returned the boys to it. the two young Negroes were kid terial witness in the murder of Joseph Aronowitz. who was "tak Dr.

"They are in a position to confer favors. "They are often asked to confer favors." Mr. Hopkins added that he could see no reason "why a few people should expect special favors." "A special favor," he added, "almost always means a loss for someone else." Under the present setup, the inspecotrs "are subjected to the same type of political pressures with which the magistrates of our local courts have to contend," he said. Services Listed The Inspection services which Mr. Hopkins said he would remove from political influences "involve building, health, sanitation and other aspects of our daily living," according to his statement.

Aronowitz and Joseph Sampson, another New Yorker, were accused of being the actual bandits who gained entrance to the home of Albert and Josephine Williams, in the 2000 block Whittier avenue, last September 1 and attempted to rob Mrs. Williams, unaware that her husband was upstairs and heard the threats. Sampson was the first man to be convicted in the case, and he By Martin Mills paugh College Aid The returns industry can expect for putting alms in the palms of independent, colleges were outlined today by Dr.

Daniel Z. Gibson, president of Washington College, Chestertown, Md. Speaking at a luncheon of the Advertising Club of Baltimore at the Emerson Hotel. Dr. Gibson said that business and industry profit frpm their support of small, liberal arts colleges because: An "abnormally large number of specialists" originate in the privately supported institutions and then go on to obtain doctorates; Support of the smaller schools will insure their continued operations without the necessity of government support and subsequent higher taxes.

Dr. Gibson's remarks were centered around the operations of the Association of Independent Colleges in Maryland. The members of the association are Hood, Western Maryland, St. John's and Washington Colleges. Faculty Pay Cited Dr.

Gibson said the four institutions were combining in a plea for financial help from industry and business because they were caught in a nationwide money problem. The trouble, he said, is that inflated prices have cut the colleges' income from endowments, and the margin cannot be made up through increased tuition costs. He noted, in passing, that faculty members "are the ones who are really footing the bills" because they have not been granted pay increases comparable to those given in other lines. Dr. Gibson said the Association of Independent Colleges solicits funds "in Community Chest fashion" and distributes 60 per cent of the take equally, and 40 per cent on the basis of enrollment.

He also observed that if small colleges were forced to become wards of the Government, it would be a step toward socialism and, consequently, a loss for the cause of private enterprise. Eikins Praises Budget Fund Dr. Wilson H. Eikins, president of the University of Maryland, said yesterday that the 1955 Legislature's budget approval had boosted Maryland's drive for full accreditation. The $1,935,862 budget increase hv Governor McKeldin was tpared by only $10,699.

Increases For Faculty Among changes planned are an Increase in salary for full profes-; sors from $6,000 a year to $6,600 'and higher salaries for other facility members. In addition, 82 more teachers will be added to the College Park the medical school will increase its size by 41 positions. One and eighteen employes 'will be hired at the University Hospital. Over all.

318 new persons will toe on the university's education and administrative roster after the 1955-56 budget becomes effective. According to the statistics, the appropriation hike is the fourth largest in the institution's history. A cut in money for the library, however, from $2,200,000 to disappointed officials. Further slicing, said Dr. Eikins, might delay the start of construction of the library by several months.

Trustees of Storer College, which faces the prospect of being integrated out of business, are meeting here today in emergency session to discuss the financial crisis confronting the institution. Acting in the wake of the State's desegregation policy, the 1955 Legislature voted to discontinue its annual $20,000 appropriation to the 87-year-old college. Storer's enrollment of about 200 students is made up solely of Negroes, although its charter imposes no color restriction.

School officials said enough money is on hand to complete the present session. But after July 1, the college's future is uncertain. Must Curtail Schedule If the college is to continue as a separate entity, it will have to do so on a curtailed schedule, they said. The campus of Storer College is now the site of the "fort" manned by the forces of John Brown, the Civil War abolitionist raider. When the town's armory buildings were burned during the war, the square brick building was the only edifice left standing.

Shipped To Exposition It was dismantled and shipped to the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1892, and later purchased by a group of Negroes headed by Miss Kate Field, an actress. It was rebuilt in Harpers Ferry and stood on an obscure spot until 1910, when it was moved to the college campus. The building is now used as the college museum and contains a collection of old guns, helmets, money and other curiosities. vision ana radio programs is is awaiting sentence. planned for campaigning in the Maryland, pointed out that dur were gone.
