Quinn sLetter Ends
Controversy Over
Praise for Delegates
Civic Federation Official
Writes KiIe His Stand
Covered Too Much

The controversy over letter COM
mending the Montgomery County
delegation to the Maryland As
sembly on major items of its legisia-
tive program apparently was settled
today with an exchange of letters by
the principals
Carey E. Quinn. chairman Of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
tion's Legislative and Legal Action
Committee, acknowledged he prob
ably had taken in too much terri
tory in commencing the delegation
by stating that the Executive Com
mittee, of which he also is a men,
ber, had approved all major legis-
lative proposals.
II should have said that the lex
ecutive) committee gave considera-
ton to most of the legislative pro-
poSals but made no affirmative OBJ
lection to them" he wrote in a
letter to o. Merton Kile. federation
president. Il am sorry to have
caused you and the committee so
much trouble"
Mr.. Kile, in a letter to Mr.. Quinn,
said that the latter's letter had Gre
ated a wrong impression" since the
Executive Committee had opposed
the bill to increase salaries of judges
of the Orphans Court, had taken no
stand on the bill to extend the coun-
ty liquor monopoly to include whole
sale beer distribution, and criticized
certain points of other bills.
However, he admitted no definite
opposition was voiced to the dele
cations program and did not ques-
ton Mr.. Quinn's right to send a let
ter to the delegation thanking the
members for their cooperation and
courtesy. He concluded by thank
ing Mr.. Quinn for his "arduous la
bors" as chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the federation.
