Bethesda Boys Have Army
Of Generals to Get in Scrap

A group of so Bethesda youths,
organized as the Service Aides to
assist in salvage efforts of their
area, have pledged themselves TO the
motto: Scrap, but no scrapping,'
for the duration.
Divided into seven regiments"
the organization is topheavy with
officers such as generals, major gen.
erals and brigadier generals. So
numerous are the high-ranking Of
ficers that it has become a problem
to obtain privates.
Even 2la-year-old Scotty Hoeck,
whose principal job is to serve as a
paper weight" is a second lieuten-
ant in the organization. 1t is
Scotty's duty to sit on magazines so
that they will not blow away while
being hauled to collection stations.
Four Generals Head Staff.
The scrap collection staff Is
headed by four-star Generals Mer-
rill Reich, IL, and Billie Hoeck, 10.
Yesterday the Service Aides pa
raded through Bethesda down Wis
consin avenue to the music of a
Scrap Band" the instruments Of
which were reclaimed from neigh
borhood trash piles.
During the three weeks of their
organization the Aides have collected
10000 pounds of newspapers and
magazines from the Easements of
hundreds of Bethesda homes and
have secured every yard and street
in the neighborhood for rubber and
metal scrap. The amount of work
each child has done is indicated by
his or her arm band. One red serv-
ice stripe indicates one wagon load

group.

records, while Maj. Gen. Tom Evans
conducts the military drills. Brig.

BY ALEXANDER R. PRESTON.

A constitutional procedure en-
bodied in the Maryland constitu-
ton in 1915 is being invoked for
the first time in Montgomery Coun-
ty by residents participating in the
current charter movement.
Petitions circulated by the Coun-
ty Charter Committee, therefore, do
not ask voters to invoke any new"
procedure foisted on them in recent
studies of county government or
proposed by politicians.
The plan of action was approved
by the Maryland General Assembly
in 1914 and was ratified in the fol-
lowing year.
Those who sign the petitions
merely take this position: That they
want a referendum in November on
the question of whether charter
board shall be elected to study pro-
poced changes in local government
and an election of five members
to such board if it is approved.
5000 Names Needed.
Not all the petition signers favor
discarding the present form of gov
ernment. Such persons, along with
other qualified voters who refuse to
sign, still would have voice, how
ever, in the selection of a board If
majority vote establishes it.
The petitions will be assembled
this week to determine if the re-
quired 20 per cent of qualified
voters, or approximately 5000, have
signed them.
In the event the required num-
Der do sign the constitutional pro-
vision says that the ballot shall be
SO arranged as to permit the voter
to vote for or against the creation
of said charter board, but the vote
cast against said creation shall not
be held to bar the voter from ex-
pressing his choice among the
nominees for said board :"
Other constitutional provisions:
After filing a properly signed Pc
tition, it is mandatory for the
Board of Election Supervisors to
order the referendum.
T Five to Be Elected.
| lie oOdIu Ot SOuilIy COulUllSSlUl-
ers may make nominations for the
charter board in not less than 40
days prior to the election and others
may nominate by petition contain
ing not less than per cent of quail
fed v>ters not less than "a days
prior to the election. The five re-
ceiving highest votes would be
elected.
If no more than five are NOM
mated, their names shall not be
printed on the ballot but shall con-
stitute the charter board The ref
erendum would be held, however.
A majority vote for or against the
charter board shall prevail.
If the vote is in favor of the board,
that body must prepare charter or
form of government for the county
and present it to the president of
the Board of County Commissioners
within six months after the Charter
Boards election. The president of
the commissioners must publish the
plan in at least two newspapers pub
lished in the county within 80 days.

The price ceiling for metal scrap
set by OPA is $1875 per gross ton
of 2,240 pounds delivered to the con-
suming point, which is Sparrows
Point, Md. for District professors.
Out of this sum comes the freight
charges, cost of material, labor and
transportation charges where a pro-
cessor uses his own trucks to bring
scrap to his plant.
One looks around and sees junk
piled high in all directions; one
thinks the supply will last several
months. But Mr.. Smith destroys
the illusion.
I'm normal times" he said, I'VE
always kept three or four months
inventory on hand. But now our
supply, If not replenished. would
be exhausted in a week. When the
metal comes to us sorted and clean,
free OF other matter, we can bale
from 40 to so tons a day"
Supply May Scrape Bottom.
There is scrap and there always
will be scrap. Mr.. Smith pointed
out, but he was emphatic in say
ing the wartime supply may reach
rock bottom.
"A supply Of scrap is not being
created as in times Of peace" he
said. "One used to buy a new
automobile and turn in the old cal
to a junk yard, If he couldn't trade
it in. But people aren't discardine
old things, they are repairing them
for 1t is difficult to buy new things.
Mr. Smith called attention to ar
editorial reprint from a trade pc
riodical which asserted 'it is higf
time that Washington ofhcialdon
recognized that scrap collecting is
not boondoggling, and it is more
than high time that these officials
realize that to bring out the ad-
ditional 5000, 900 tons of scrap need.
ed this year requires leadership ol
the highest osder.''
Says Collectors Overlooked.
why 100000 scrap collectors anc
10000 dealers should have been
overlooked all these months while
the shortage was becoming more
acute is something for which ne
logical explanation has as yet beer
offered and for which some day
some Federal officials will have te
answer to an outraged public" the
| editorial declared.
The District is planning short
intensive collection campaign as q
supplement to the regular SCRAP
collection at 670 salvage depots te
be established, and Mr.. Smith said
scrap professors have a great in
tefest in assurance of a steady
source of supply.
The bulk of his scrap, he added
still is obtained from automobile
