Bruce Carries
County Primary
In Monday Vote
Gets Total of 6,692 Votes
To 5,963 For Opponent.
Radcliffe Assured NOvem-
Der Election

In contrast to the State vote of
2 to l for Senator Radcliffe, Mont
gomery County hackers of Howard
Bruce placed their candidate at
the head of the list in Mondays
primary election.
With relatively heavy vote in
the county for the two-man fight
for the Senatorial nomination, q
total of 6,692 votes were cast for
Mr.. Bruce while 5,963 were in
favor of Senator Radcliffe's nom-
nation.
The northern county, including
Rockville, returned a Bruce major
ity of S8S, eastern county from Ia
koma Park through Silver Spring
to Brookeville polled 1,O26 Bruce
lead while western suburban in
cluding Bethesda, Chevy Chase
and Kensington gave Radcliffe
685 majority. This gave a county
majority of 729 for Mr.. Bruce.
Laytonsville district, the bali
wick of Clarence Small, gave the
Senator majority of 49.
Political observers feel that
while the United Democratic Or
ganization carried Montgomery
county for Mr.. Bruce and so re-
yersed the 2 to l pro-Radcliffe
sentiment in the State and at the
same time produced over Ia per
cent of Mr.. Bruce's total State
wide popular vote, this fact as
sures Senator Radcliffe Of a rec
ord breaking November election
majority in Montgomery County,
when the United Democratic Or
ganization workers will be en-
Enthusiastically supporting him along
with 5,963 Democrats who sup
ported the Junior Senator last
Monday.
Party leaders contend that the
highly complimentary vote re-
ceived by Senator Radcliffe in
Montgomery county Monday estab-
lished beyond a doubt that there
were large number of Montgom-
cry County Democrats who strong
ly favored Senator Radcliffe's re-
turn to the United States Senate.
Senator Radcliffe's vote was also
augmented by hundreds Of Demo
Gratis who voted against Mr.. Bruce
because of the new State income
tax, and by hundreds who are
ardent supporters of Senator
Tydings who lead Senator Rad
cliffe's fight both in the field and
from managerial standpoint.

are over and after the usual three
nights of examining and burning the
midnight oil. rewarded by two
day vacation-LHS students and fac

grind again.
AS the high school as whole
turns its mind to thoughts of the
rapidly approaching basketball sea-
son, we should be proud and thank
full that we hold the Western Dis

look forward eagerly to what we
can accomplish in basketball
Again we offer our bids to Libby

PROTECT BOMB SIGHT

The army has worked out de-
vice which will destroy the famous
bomb sight if anything sholld hap
pen to the plane carrying it. De-
tails of this device of course are
shrouded in almost as much mys-
terry as the bomb sight itself, but
it is declared by those who know
to be 100 per cent effective.
The Importance of this develop
ment cannot be exaggerated. 1t
means that an enemy cannot OBJ
tain the priceless secret Of the bomb
sight no matter if they shoot down
many planes using it, that few of
them, on the law of averages, would
be bound to land with any particu-
lar part intact.
The most important point about
the fact that we now have a device
which will inevitably destroy the
bomb sight if anything happens to
the plane, and thus prevent capture
of the secret by the enemy, is that
the chief objection to giving the
bomb sight to the British has dis
appeared.
DENY SALE TO BRITAIN
In fact, there are many in Wash
ington who believe implicitly that
the British already have this bomb
sight, though it is vigorously de-
MED in official quarters. The ru-
NOR is, however, that it was given
to the British just as soon as our
own experts were sure that the self
destructive device would certainly
destroy the. bomb sight If anything
happened to the plane.
This would leave only one objec-
ton to permitting the British to have
the bomb sight accepting as a
premise the contention that Britain
is fighting our battle-that some
Nazi agents might be able to OBJ
tain the sight once the scope of our
own rigid protection OF its secret
was broadened as a result of its
use by the British.
1t may not be known for long
time yet whether the British really
have the bomb sight. II certainly
has not been true, as some writer's
have insisted, that the Germans al
ready have obtained it.
