Montgomery F Federation
Committee Gets Authority.
Lee Reports on Legislation.

By StaH Correspondents OF The Star.
CHEVY CHASE, Md, April "a
Authority was given the committee
on legislation and legal action of the
MONTGOMERY County Civic Federation
al its regular meeting last night IN
the Chevy Chase School TO cooperate
with Maryland officials in pressing
the movement for a reduction of the
rate on illuminating gas supplied CON
sumers in Montgomery County.
The federation listened TO reports
on the Hesitation passed at the last
session of the General Assembly and
explanations of some of it by Maj. L.
Brooke Lee, Silver Spring, Speaker of
the House of Delegates. Maj. Lee
assumed responsibility for the pro-
vision in the Park and Planning Com
mission organic act making it pos
sible to appoint one member OF the
commission from outside of the plan
ming district.
The action on the gas rate matter
was taken following the presentation
OF a report by J. Bond Smith, chair
man of the committee, who told of
the rushing Of the resolution through
the Assembly during its last hours by
Speaker Lee and also of his subse-
quent conferences with members of
mission. The committee report then
recommended that the committee and
its individual members be authorized
to cooperate with the Public Service
Commission and the attorney general
of Maryland and to furnish TO these
official bodies all information in the
possession of the members bearing on
the gas matter.
Robert r. HiItoT1 Supoested
In explaining his amendment pro-
Viding that one of the members of
the Park and Planning Commission
could be made from the county at
large, Maj. Lee. said that this pro-
vision was put in with the idea of
trying to get on the commission
Robert G. Hilton of Rockville. He
said Mr.. Hilton had been identified
with much of the countys progress,
and that if he could not be prevailed
upon to accept an appointment on
the commission, then all three ap-
pointees would come from within the
park and planning zone.
The federation last night showed
its gratitude for the efforts of the
Montgomery County delegation in
the State Legislature in getting pass
ed all legislation proposed for the
county. Maj. Lee declared that the
entire federation legislative program
had been enacted. BY a rising vote
the body voiced it's thanks to Maj.

Says Mexico Should Pay.
Referring to the controversy with
Mexico over the administration of the
oil and land laws. Mr.. Lenroot de-
clared that any commission of arbitra-
ton would uphold the American con-
tention that conflscation is involved
in the retroactive feature of the law.
Mexico has the right to take the
lands of American citizens for its own
people, he said, but the United
States has the right to insist, under
international law, that Mexico pay for
them. We cannot arbitrate the right
of nation to take property of man
without compensating him for it,
Mr.. Lenroot's lecture was one of 4
series being given at the school on
current problems in foreign service
relations. He was introduced by DR..
William f. Notz, dean of the school.
