CHEVY CHASE, Nd, February g..
Democratic organization leaders in
Montgomery County refused to become
unduly concerned over the announce
ment made public today Of the forma-
ton In the county OF the New Progress
sive Democratic party. Maj. K. Brooke
Lee Of Silver Spring, speaker OF the
House of Delegates and county and
State Democratic organization leader,

The Bouic-Ord faction Is headed by
Albert M. Bouic Of Rockville and for

go. The progressive Democrats will
work for an efficient and up-to-date
business system in the administration of
the county's government. The present
situation Is blind for the guilty and
an alibi for the ignorant but conscience
Gus in the county's government. The
progressives believe that taxes should
not further be raised until after COM
plete overhauling.
The progressives further believe in
restoring to the people greater control
over the administration of it's affairs,
its utilities, water and sewage, police
and schools.
THE progressive Democrats will give
the people of the county not a boss, but
a Democratic party system to which
every citizen can turn" - IL
