a a Memorial service set for Goucher professor A memorial service for M. Morris, director of religious activities at Goucher College and until June chairman of its department of religion, will be held at 3 P.M. tomorrow at the Haebler Memorial Chapel at the school's Towson campus. Professor Morris, who was 55, died of an apparent heart attack Thursday at his home, 107 Greenmeadow drive, Timonium. His health had not been good in recent years because of a series of heart attacks and this forced him to give up the chairmanship of the department, which he had held since 1957.

However, he continued to teach, specializing in Near and Far Eastern religions and Old Testament studies. Rather than publish, he concentrated on research and studies which would make him a better teacher. "Before he taught a course he mastered its content and became an authority on the subject. Unlike some of us, he did not study as he taught a course," said a colleague. He took a year's leave in 1969 to travel to India, Thailand and Japan in order to study Hinduism and Buddhism.

He studied Islam when he taught philosophy, religion and English at the American University in Cairo after World War II. Native of Pennsylvania He visited Israel in 1959 to study the archeological work being done there and its relation to the Old Testament. And he was interested in the ancient religions of Egypt and Mesopotamia and their relationship to Judaism. Born in St. Clair, he graduated from Bucknell University in 1936 and then from Crozer Theological Seminary, in Chester, in 1939.

After graduation, and until 1945, he worked for the American Baptist Home Missionary Society. He taught in Egypt 1945 to 1949. On leaving Egypt, he was named assistant professor of religion and director of religious activities at Goucher. He was made acting chairman of the department of religion in 1955 Anderson names 2 to rights unit Towson Bureau of The Sun Dale Anderson, the Baltimore county, executive, announced yesterday that he has appointed a Towson personnel management specialist and a Liberty road restaurant owner to the county Community Relations Commission.

announces crime plan By BENTLEY ORRICK Ross Z. Pierpont, the GOP candidate for mayor, released his crime-control plan yesterday, i in which 1 he set the cost of crime to Baltimore "at between $400 million and $800 million dollars a -rivaling the total cost of city Dr. Pierpont listed his basic principles of crime control as to all prevention not punishment minimum force in individual arrests and group disorders alike." "Worse than disease" "Repression and the mailed fist are a cure worse than the disease," the 53-year-old millionaire surgeon said. The first part of the Pierpont plan calls for the reduction of crimes by drug addicts, primarily by taking them off illegal and expensive heroin and substituting government-controlled methadone maintenance programs. He estimated that two of every three crimes are committed by addicts.

The second part deals with juvenile deliquency. He estimat'ed that those under 18 commit half of all crime. Juvenile delinquency To curb delinquency, he proposed abolishing the present jail system for most young offenders, he called the jails "schools for crime" and suggested that parents be forced to help rehabilitate and punish young offenders by being made to supervise them in such tasks as "cutting weeds, cleaning up vacant lots and sweeping (the dirty streets where his peers could see him." He also suggested holding parents financially responsible for their children's crimes and called for greater awareness in the schools of the delinquency problem. "Whatever is required, we must reduce absenteeism. Parents cannot be permitted to let their children skip school," he said.

Prediction technique Dr. Pierpont also suggested investigation of techniques to predict which child is likely to become a delinquent in adolescence. "It appears that delinquents may have physical disabilities that prevent the acquisition of needed knowledge and skills. Isn't it a crime to condemn such children to a life of delinquency followed by crime instead of uncovering what is troubling them early?" he asked. Two of Dr.

Pierpont's more specific recommendations were cutting the arrest-to-trial time with a minimum goal of 60 days and giving improved street lighting in high-crime areas priority in the budget. GOP hopeful scores Orlinsky Robert D. Morrow, the Republican candidate for president of the City Council, claimed yesterday that his Democratic opponent, Delegate Walter S. Orlinsky 2d) was "too closely identified with un-American elements." Mr. Morrow, who has started calling himself a "freedom fighter" because he was once given probation by a federal court for his part in a plot to counterfeit Cuban pesos in an unsanctioned attempt to bring down the Castro government, based the charge on Mr.

Orlinsky's active membership in the New Democratic of the inner city Second district. The un-American activities, according to Mr. Morrow, were the club's solicitation of funds to help pay for the defense of Arthur Turco, a New York lawyer who is charged with being an accessory to the torture and murder of an Black Panther suspected by his colleagues of being a police informer. Mr. Turco's first trial ended in a hung jury.

He is scheduled to be retried in November. "Mr. Orlinsky masterminded the club during the time they were seeking financial help to defend Turco and, in effect, the whole Panther cause of revolution," Mr. Morrow charged. Lankler to head GOP conference Alexander M.
