by this, and when he came to Rich

as the greatest soldier of the Con-

in which he was operating, Jackson
failed in his first campaign with

Montgomery Heads
Ask Public System
OF Trash Collection
Commissioners Also
Seek Police Pay Hike
And Storm Sewers

The Montgomery County commits
sioners today adopted a resolution
asking the county's representatives
in the General Assembly for Iegisla-
ton authorizing the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission to
operate unified system of trash
and garbage collection for all of the
Washington Sanitary District, "or
certainly for the Montgomery County
portions thereof"
The commissioners also asked for
law to increase the base pay of
Montgomery County policemen from
81 300 to $1,000 year "for the dura-
tion," and that a series of storm
water drainage structures be in
stalled.
Pointing to recent growth and de-
velopment in the county, the COM
missioners suggest that the General
Assembly enact any additional leg
lslation needed to allow the SAM
tary Commission to build and op-
crate storm sewer system.
The trash collection resolution
said there is an increasing need
for a unified collection system be-
cause of the increase in popula-
ton and the wartime difficulties of
private concerns.
The Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, it said, employs nearly 500
competent truck drivers, mechanics
and skilled and unskilled laborers,
operates IS motor vehicles and
maintains two weI-equipped motor
repair shops. 1t also operates at a
profit a modern incinerator, the res
olution added.
The General Assembly, it con-
cluded, has already given the SAM
tary Commission most of the au-
thority needed to establish a public
system of trash and garbage COL
lection.

Noted French Biogropher Calls
Roosevelt Supreme Leader
Here for Lecture,
Mourois Hopes for
French Unificution

ographer and liaison officer between
the French and British armies in
two wars, who is here to address
the Library of Congress Writers
Club in the Librarys Coolidge Audi
forum at $50 o'clock tonight, rec
ognizes only one supreme leader
today-President Roosevelt.
M. Maurois, who has been in this
country since the fall of France,
said he had offered his services to
Gen. Henri Giraud as soon as he
learned the general had arrived in
North Africa.
But If President Roosevelt told
me Gen. de Gaulle was my leader, -
he said, Il would accept that order
without question. Remember, I am
still an officer in the French Army"
Leaders Unimportant.
To M. Maurois, leaders aren't inn
portant just now. And the political
debates that are going on over North
Africa are significant to him only
in that, if continued, they will de-
tract from the primary objective of
liberating France
Later the French can argue
among themselves" he said. And
they will. But now, anything that
divides Frenchmen among them
selves is bad"
The French author said he was
hopeful that any differences be-
tween Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Giraud would soon be reconciled.
All Seek Axis Defeat.
"They are not divided on the big
the Axis out of
France and liberating the French
people" he said. 80 there is really
no reason why the lesser points of
conflict cans be settled"

a royalist coup in North Africa, Mr..

an important factor when he left
