County Delegate
Has Been Aide
Of Three Senators

After ~ years in politics, Mrs.
Genevieve H. Wells has assumed
her first elective office.
Mrs. Wells, who is the only woman
on the Montgomery County dele
cation to the State Legislature, has
been in politics ever since she was
graduated from high school in 1915.
A native of Kentucky, Mrs. Wells
came to Washington a week after
her graduation to work for the late
Senator Beckham of Kentucky. She
later worked for the late Senator
Pomerene of Ohio and for the late
Senator Copeland Of New York.
Formed Silver Spring Club.
About seven years ago she helped
organize the Silver Spring Woman's S
Democratic Club and was its presi-
dent for two terms. She also is third
vice president and former president
Of the Woman's Democratic Club of
Montgomery County.
At present, she is executive secre-
tary of the County Civilian Defense
Council and hopes to continue to
hold that position when she goes to
the Legislature. She also is mem
ber of the Southern Maryland Ci-
william Defense Council.
II don't have much time to give
my family now" she smiled. "and
suppose that when the Legislature
opens on January 6, I'll be just a
weekend visitor at home"
AS II to prove that she is very
busy woman, Mrs. Wells was inter-
rupted by at least half a dozen phone
calls while being interviewed at her
home.
If it weren't for her women
friends, Mrs. Wells still might be
devoting all her time to civilian de-
fense matters.
Forced Into Running.
II was urged to run for the Legis-
lature by my woman friends" she
said. They thought there should
be one woman on the Democratic
ticket and believed I was the logical
one" ......
She succeeds Miss Ruth Shoe
maker, who declined to run for re-
election.
Mrs. Wells said she is particularly
interested in civilian defense meas
ures.
II believe we need Statewide
regulation of blackouts," she de-
ciared, particularly with regard tc
driving during alarms"
At present, she explained. black
out ordinances have been adopted
by the various counties and in many
instances lack coordination.
She also expressed herself in favor
OF increased pay for teachers and
policemen.
Mrs. Wells has one son, David, II,
who attends Montgomery Blair High
School. Her husband, Ralph II.
Wells, is a principal commodity
specialist at the Tariff Commission
She lives at 9317 Colesville road,
