Sy the Associated Press.
Nineteen members of Congress,
which will begin consideration of
neutrality problems next week,
might be among the first to be
called to the colors if this country
became involved in war.
They hold commissions as officers
in the Army Reserve and their
status makes them subject to call to
active duty in time of emergency.
Whether they would be called would
depend on whether the President be-
lieved they could be of better serv-
ice to the Nation as members of
Congress or as officers in the armed
forces.
Even If called, however, they
could resign their commissions. If
they desired to answer the call they
could resign from Congress. Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York
left Congress to serve in the Army
Air Corps during the World War.
Twelve of the 10 Reserve officer
members saw active service during
the World War and two of them
served in the Mexican campaign.
Senator Gibson of Vermont, who
holds Reserve commission as a
lieutenant colonel, served in both
the Mexican and the World Wars.

tive Plumley, "a, is colonel in the
l,a t1r

ton and may be called to duty only

Two other New England men,
bers, Senator Lodge, 81, of Massa-
chusetts and Representative Shan
ley, 43, of Connecticut, are captains
in the Reserve Corps.

Gillie, SO, and Springer, 81, are
among the congressional Reserves,
Senator Minton, World War vet
eran, is captain in the Infantry
Reserve; Representative Gillie is a
captain in the veterinary unit and
Representative Springer, a World
War veteran, is a lieutenant colonel
on the inactive" list.
Senators Lucas, Al, of Illinois and

partment, while Senator Truman Is

seven out of eight members having
World War service records.

doubtedly the Legislature would earn
the lasting gratitude of the people,
if this much desired accomplishment
could be effected"
In many ways, his address was
reminiscent of the words of the late
Gov. Albert &c. Richie when the po-
litical authority of the four-term
Governor was challenged a number
of years ago. On that occasion
Richie said: eff you want to know
who is boss, start something" More
diplomatic was the verbiage COM
manded by the incoming Governor,
but he was firm in his warning to
the petty politicians who daily crowd
the State House that their tricks and
ruses would bring summary treat
ment from "the man upstairs the
only term used in reference to the
Governor by practical politicians in
conversation.
Mr.. O1Conor read his lecture to
the politicians after declaring that
he was no mugwump, but a regular
and loyal Democrat. He warned,
however, that:
Continued confidence in our party
will be maintained only if that party
measures up to its obligations and
gives its best to our people.
at is when party leaders have
become arrogant or blinded by power
that an aroused electorate repudiates
the dominant party of our State.
"No one need fear an attempt by
me tosbuild personal organization
or a political machine. I am now
free and shall remain free" =

Council OF Sandy
Spring Announces
Varied Activities
Traffic, Health And Other
Civic Interests Are Studied

The last meeting of the Community
Council of Sandy Spring, committee
report stated that traffic lights at
Ashton ar impossible at present be-
cause of the cost of such a project.
It was reported, however, by the
Roads committee, that signs would be
placed guarding the curve near
"Edgewood".
The Council received letter from
the Parent Teacher Association ap-
proving DR.. Ellicott's scheme for in
tensive health service in the neigh
borhood.
The special committee on zoning re-
ported that the bill for coming this
area would be ready early in January.
This committee was instructed to con-
tinue its close watch of the Park and
Plannins Commissions actions, to
study the bill as soon as possible and
to arrange for a Special meeting of
this organization if it thought one to
be necessary.
It was reported that the school
buses now stop at the points sug-
gested in October by the Schools COM
mittee which greatly helps the troffic
in both Sandy Spring and Ashton.
The special committee studying the
conditions at the Sandy Spring Post
Office reported that two bids had been
received for new postal facilities at
the Post Office but that as yet no
contract had been awarded.
The Fire Department recommended
that FIRE cistern holding 10000 gal
Ions b built at Sherwood School and
also Sllar@ esscl ScIsss lSom De eqa4sped
with an approved fire extinguisher.
The, Council approved of these sug-
gestions but was of the opinion that
the eistern should have a capacity of
10000 gallons instead of the 10000
gallons suggested by the department.
This suggestion has already been
approved by number of the affiliated
organizations. Those matters was re-
ferred to the school committee for
further study and action.
Mr.. Hurley suggested that inn
proved traffic safeguards be installed
at Olney where the traffic hazards are
increasing. This was referred to the
Roads committee. The suggestion to
ask the new health nurse, Miss
Samples, to the next meeting of the
Council was approved.

Economy In Maryland Government Is Stressed AS
Thousands Throng Annapolis

The new Democratic regime en-
tered upon it's duties Wednesday as
the Hon. Herbert r. OiConor was
sworn in as Governor of the Free
State of Maryland amid the plaudits
of thousands, marking another epoch
in the life of this remarkable young
man who rose from newspaper
reporter to accept the highest gift
within the provinces of his fellow
citizens who number nearly two mil
lion men, women and children.
A few minutes after Chief Judge
Carroll T. Bond administered the
oath of office, the new Governor
Enthusiastically stated that there
was no excuse for jamming legis-
lation into the last few days of the
ninety-day session. If Governor
OConor achieves his objective in
levelling out the work of the 1889
session of the General Assembly-he
will make history. Never in the
modern archives of the Legislature
has there been an adjournment
within the scheduled period with all
work accomplished.
In language polite but firm, Gov
ernor O'Conor told the lawmakers
that he was eager to see them estab-
AsA a record by finishing their duties
and going home before the expira-
ton of the ninety days permitted
them by the Constitution.
"It may not be too much to hope
that the work of the Legislature
will proceed as promptly as is con-
sistent with efficiency and suitable
deliberation so that the work may
be completed before the expiration Of
the period allowed by the Consti-
tution," he declared in closing an
inaugural address of 5000 words de-
livered from the east portico of the
State House to massed thousands on
the lawn and street. "Public money
would be saved, and the anxiety
occasioned by pending legislation
would be averted if this General
Assembly terminated its session be-
fore the end of ninety days. I'm
