The council passed legislation designed to give the police department a full-time, experienced legal counsel for pre- and in-service training.

The United States Department of Justice Law Enforcement Assistance Act authorized just such a program and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAAJ will foot the bill. The emergency legislation passed by the council adds $15,000 to the personal services account of the state's attorney's office to create the position. County coffers will be reimbursed for the expenditure by the LEAA. State's Attorney Raymond Thieme testified on behalf of the police department, saying that the counsel would be under the control of his department but used by the police. Thieme said that he has already had two applicants for Academy senior the position.

The extra grant money is for incidental travel expenses. Currently, Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties have full-time legal counsels for the police department. Both programs are funded under the LEEA. Thieme indicated that requests for the grant from police departments of over 200 men are usually granted. In addition to instructing police officers in matters of law, the counsel would ultimately handle search and seizure warrants, which Thieme said are quite involved.

Thieme said that the program would probably last for two or three years and "could be extended" if the act is extended. While the counsel will work within the police department, he will be under the final jurisdiction of Thieme. U.S. to sidestep busing suits killed Midshipman Ronald C. Barber, 23, was killed Wednesday when he was thrown' from his sports car on U.S.

50 in Landover. Maryland State Police at Greenbelt said Barber was driving east on rt. 50 at 1:15 a.m. when his vehicle ran off the roadway, just west of Ardmore-Ardwick Rd. The passengers, Midshipmen William Allen Hacock, 21, and Walter Michael Soha, 20, were transferred to the Naval Hospital in Annapolis, where they are reported in "satisfactory" condition today.

Barber, of Sherman Oaks, was a member of the Class of 72 at the Academy, majoring in Russian area studies. He is survived by his mother, Marjorie J. Barber, Los Angeles, Calif. WASHINGTON (AP) With two exceptions, the Nixon administration currently has no intention of seeking, changes in school busing plans already ordered by the courts, its civil rights chief says. Despite President Nixon's recent antibusing statements, the government is not likely to accept invitations to begin undoing court-ordered school desegregation plans, Assistant Atty.

Gen. David L. Norman indicated in an interview Wednesday. The exceptions are Austin and Corpus Christi, where Man charged with assault Charles Augustus Hunter, 49, of Baltimore was arrested by Annapolis Police yesterday on charges of assault and battery. Bond has been set at $250.

Police have charged James Keith Potter, 22, of 29 Francis St. with driving under the influence with ability impaired and negligent driving, following a collision on -Labor Day. L. D. DeArmon of Alexander, Va.

has reported the theft of a 1V horsepower motor, two' oars, a ski tow line, two boat cushions and two life preservers from a dingy docked near 151 Williams Drive Monday. DeArmon was a guest at the house. the Justice Department already has filed appeals of court orders in which busing of students is an issue. Since the Nixon statements, several other school districts have appealed 'desegregation orders that require busing, and are seeking the federal government as an ally! Although the requests are re- cehing careful study, ssid Norman, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division, "I don't have any present- plans, today, for getting into any other people's cases." Nixon himself announced last month's decision to appeal in the Austin case, in which a federal judge rejected a government plan that would have re- quired extensive busing, in a vor of a local plan with less busing. But at the same time, Nixon reiterated his opposition iu busing of students and said the government busing plans would be disavowed in the process of the appeal.

Nixon said he had instructed both the Justice Department and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to henceforth hold busing "trt'tlw minimum required by law." In the Corpus Christi case, the 'government joined local school officials in seeking a delay in carrying out a desegregation planrequiring massive busing. U.S.-Russian naval talks move a puzzie WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S.-Soviet agreement to seek an end to harassment of each others' navy is not part of-any Russian effort to offset Communist China's increasingly active diplomacy, American officials say. Nevertheless, some foreign diplomats are questioning why Moscow picked this week to approve an October visit by an American delegation to discuss ways of preventing what the State Department described as "collisions and other incidents at sea." The time is only coincidence, according to high State Department officials, and has no di- rect relations to recent Soviet agreements easing tension with the United States and its European allies. In fact, one source said, the Soviet Union agreed last November to the principle of seeking accords on joint naval matters. He denied any delay was involved in waiting until Wednesday to announce the talks would open Oct.

12. "It was only a matter of working out the details and then' setting a date," he said. There was no explanation why Moscow hadn't answered sooner after the original U.S. approach was made in April, 1968. State Department spokesman Kramer assigned to Arnold temple Charles W.

Bray cold newsmen Wednesday that Under secretary of the Navy John W. Warner will head a high-ranking American delegation to Moscow "to discuss how to avoid incidents at sea between our two nations." Explaining that the hoped-for understanding would cover "rules of the road" for naval vessels of both, countries, Bray said no political background is involved. Only. the desire to prevent recurrence of the 100 incidents reported over the past several years is behind the talks, Bray said. But more than one diplomat noted the new Soviet agreement follows closely other Russian acts.

Prime among these was last week's signing of a treaty with the United States, France and' Great Britain in which the Soviets made several major concessions on the status of while gaining comparatively few. Airport growth plan a ets area citizens By DHEW MARCKS Staff Writer Members from approximately 25 Friendship Airport area civic associations met last night at Linthicum Elementary School, united in concern over expansion plans for the facility. John F. McNulty, president of the Friendship Area Council, which represents the individual associations, said yesterday plans for expansion have been kept from the public. "We know ii (airport) has to expand," he said, "but airport officials have consistently said, 'No, we Friendship Airport currently sits on a tract of land in the northwest quadrant of the intersection formed by Dorsey Road and Hammonds Ferry Road.

According to McNulty, airport planners envision extending one runway and building another. "There are a lot of questions to be answered," McNulty said. The extension plans for a major runway running from the northwest to the southeast would seem to bear him Airport officials plan to ex- tend that runway across Dorsey Road on property already owned by the airport. How it will cross the road is a matter of civic concern. County Executive Joseph W.

Alton Jr. also voiced concern yesterday. When asked how the airport planners might cross Dorsey Road, Alton said, "Beats me. I don't know." Another area of concern is a runway that doesn't even exist. The extended runway runs to the southwest of the terminal building.

A new runway is northeast of the terminal, parallel to the first. Although a majority of that runway lies on land already owned by the airport, one section southwest of Andover High School does not. Alton criticized the airport planners yesterday for their secrecy in proposed development. "I think the airport has to be more concerned with planning than it has been in the past," he said. Democrats bare reforms WASHINGTON (AP) A Democratic party reform commission today unveiled its final blueprint for a streamlined 1972 national convention designed to assure equal treatment for all candidates, true representation by delegates and a speedup of the nominating process.

The new rule was men, tioned for the first time Sept. 1. in a letter rescinding the eligibility of William Grimes- Wyatt, a county welfare recipient from Pasadena, for housing at Meade Village, the county's first family-oriented public housing project. Grimes- Wyatt was originally informed in mid-July that he was eligible for housing at Meade Village and that one of hhe project's 200-uniU would be available for Ms occupation on July 29. On July 29 he was informed that he could not move in and that no more leases were being signed until the contracting firm which built the village corrected minor finishing Leasing began again The Sept.

3 letter, signed by Edward W. Roberta, county housing authority executive director, stated that Grimes- Wyatt's eligibility for occupancy in Meade Village would iiave io be canceled "until such time as the social service agencies have operating programs for day care children who are members of single parent families." Grimes-Wyatt, who is currently attending Anne Arundfl Community College under a federal program designed to help welfare recipients help themselves, is' the only parent of three children. According to Grimes- Wyatt, he and his children are currently homeless and living with friends because he gave up the lease on his previous home when notified in mid-July that he could obtain housing at Meade Village.

"To my knowledge," ht said, "no om consulted department when Meade Village was on tht formative ben consulted, day cert would probably not have been overhoked.".
