Urged on Montgomery
Civic Federation
Gardner Tells Members
Work for Adoption
Is BoreIy Begun

A plea that all standing commit
tees of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation study the Brook
ings Institution report on county
government as preliminary to
public hearings Of the County Char
ter Board, was made last night by
Allen H. Gardner, chairman of the
County Charter Committee, to the
federation membership.
Mr.. Gardner emphasized. however,
that the committees should not con-
fine their studies to the Brookings
report, but should include other
ideas as we'll. He said the Charter
Committee was not attempting to
foster the entire Brookings plan and
that perhaps great number Of
changes in those recommendations
would have to be made.
Mr.. Gardner, reviewing steps
leading to the recent successful ref
erendum creating the Charter
Board, stressed that the effort to
obtain changes in the county gov
ernment has only begun and that
the major task lies ahead in pre-
pairing a charter to be approved by
the voters in 1914.
Mr.. Gardner heads special fed
Grafton committee which analyzed
the Brookings Institution report last
year.
Frederic p Lee. chairman of the
Charter Board, has announced that
his group will hold public hearings
on the proposed new plan Of gov
ernment before the final draft is
completed six months from now.
Albert E. Brault, chairman of the
County Civilian Defense Council,
outlined a proposed auxiliary COM
munications system whereby high
frequency short-wave radio trans
mitters and receivers would be used
in the event of breakdown of tele-
phone circuits. He urged residents
to turn in old radios and radio
parts to police stations for use by
the civilian protective units.
Vice President Richard H. Akers
presided in place of President Jo-
Seph B. Matre, who is recovering
