Takoma Park Weighs Plea
For Surfacing OF Roads

The Takoma Park Town Council
today had under advisement petit
tions from residents of the area
bordering New Hampshire avenue
extended appealing for aid in pro-
viding a permanent road surfacing
program.
At Its meeting Monday night, it
was brought out by the petitioners
that many of the homes had been
built by FILA financing with con-
tract provision for gravel roadways.
The town subsequently took over
the gravel roads with the intention
of placing top layer of stone and
oil.
Wartime restrictions and priori-
ties have made it difficult to obtain
the needed materials and heavy
rains have been making inroads
into the gravel
The council awarded a contract to
the Contee Sand & Gravel Co. to
pave Columbia avenue with con-
crete roadway, curb and gutter to a
width of 81 feet, from theend of the
present concrete road at the inter-
section Of Sycamore avenue to Pop

Democrats Oppose
Charter Government
Plan in Montgomery
County Citizens Urged
Not to Sign Petitions
For Referendum
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 22.-The
Montgomery County Congress OF
United Democratic Organizations
opposes a referendum on the ques-
tion Of adopting charter form of
county government and has author
lied distribution of 10000 pamphlets
setting forth its position.
The action was taken last night
at a special meeting to discuss the
charter issue in the Richard Mont
gomery High School.
The charter form of government
has been recommended by report
of the Brookings Institution and is
being sponsored by County Char
ter Committee. headed by Allen H.
Gardner Of Silver Spring.
Voters Asked to Register.
Mr.. Gardner today issued an ap-
peal for all qualified residents to
register for voting in the November
election, which he said would be
"the most important to Montgomery
County in recent years" because of
the proposed referendum his group
is sponsoring
He said supplemental boards of
registry will sit today through Fri
day at the County Service Building
in Bethesda; August 3 and.4 in the
Chevy Chase firehouse; August S,
one at the Westbrook School and
one at the Chevy Chase firehouse.
Called G. O. P. Move.
Action by the congress was taken
on motion of James B. Fitzgerald
of Chevy Chase, who urged resi-
dents not to sign petitions for
placing the referendum before the
voters this fall. A petition of 10000
signatures is required to place the
question on the ballot.
Joseph A. Cantrel of Chevy Chase,
counsel to the Board of County
Commissioners, declared the pro-
posed charter government does not
offer any advantages not already
obtainable under the present form.
Efforts to foster the charter were
regarded by some of the speakers
as Republican effort to change the
Democratic majority administration
of local government.
Among the speakers last night
were Roger j. Whiteford of Chevy
Chase, Miss Vivian Simpson, j.
Bond Smith and Ben G. Wilkinson,
all of Takoma Park.

Drive for Candidates
OF Higher Standard
Reported Failing
O'Conor and Jackson
Seek to Induce Leaders
To Run for Legislature
Py the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, July 22.-Efforts Of
the combined forces Of Gov O'Conor
and Baltimore's Mayor Howard w.
Jackson to persuade men Of recog-
nized high standard to seek seats
in the Maryland General Assembly
are meeting with little success, the
Sun said today.
The paper said the one-time po-
litical rivals had thrown aside their
differences in an attempt "to raise
the standards of the General As
sembly membership, especially from
Baltimore City,
"Offers OF combined sup
port are meeting only faint response
from those asking to join Balti-
more's wartime Legislature" the
Sun continued.
1t quoted both the Governor and
the Mayor as citing instances in
which unsuccessful efforts had been
made to persuade men of high
standing in business and profess
sional ranks to become candidates
for one branch of the Assembly or
the other.
The situation from the stand
point of the number of refusals
that were being checked against the
names of prospective candidates had
improved slightly in the "a hours
up until last night, the Sun quoted
the Governor as saving,
1t attributed the decision of House
Speaker Thomas E. Conlon to seek
reelection from Baltimores 5th
district, after he had previously
announced he would retire from
the Legislature, as partially due to
the efforts of Gov. O'Conor and Mr..
jackson.

BALTIMORE, July 22.-An might
blackouts, unless ordered by the
Army, probably will not be held in
Maryland in the immediate future,
Col. Henry s. Barrett, State director
of air-raid precautions, said yester-
day.
Instead, Col. Barrett said, the
State will have short. intensive
blackouts" of three or four hours
duration during which street lights,
with the exception of traffic signal
lights will be prohibited.
These blackouts may be unan-
nounced. he said, adding that there
might also be daylight alerts.
Col. Barrett expressed the opinion
that better cooperation and bet
ter results would be obtained during
the shorter blackout period than
during an all-night test and the
shorter trial would work fewer hard

Two Years Normal
Rubber Supply for
Civilians Foreseen
Salvage and New Plan
Of Industry Give Rise
To Hope Of Relief

New developments in the rubber,
situation, once considered so critical
that Nationwide gasoline rationing
was contemplated as conservation
measure, today held forth the pos
sibility that essential civilian driv-
ing may be continued for two more
years.
The main new factors were:
1. The report of the Petroleum In
dustry War Council that the rubber
salvage campaign netted 454,155 tons
of rubber. -.
2. A plan advanced by the rubber
industry for manufacture OF a form
Of artificial rubber using ingredients
of which there Is, for the most part,
no shortage.
3. A prediction by Senator Norris,
independent, of Nebraska that the
program of synthetic rubber pro-
duction would be expanded from the
80O,00O-ton annual capacity now
planned to 100000 tons.
Problem Still Serious.
Oficials emphasized that the rub
Der problem is still one of the most
serious confronting the Govern
ment in its war effort.
The Petroleum Councils report
of rubber collections from June Is
through July 10 gave the country
its first accurate picture of its avail
able scrap rubber-which may be
reclaimed and used as substitute
for many war purposes. .
Washington, the report disclosed,
contributed 1901 tons or 3.29 pounds
per capita; Maryland, 4,447 tons or
4.88 pounds per capita. and Vir-
ginia, 7,155 tons or 5.34 pounds per
capita.
The District was 48th in the list of
States and Territories in donations
per individual. Maryland was seth
and Virginia 36th.
Aid to Planning.
War Production Chief Donald NJ
Nelson commented that the volume
of the collection "gives us much
better picture of our scrap rubber
inventory so that more positive
planning can now be accomplished
on the whole production schedule. :"
1t increases very substantially"
the country's stock pile of reclaim
able rubber, he added, but urged
continued efforts to bring in all
metals and remaining available rub
ber to keep essential war pro-
duction plants running to capacity"
