Foes Of Charter
Call Proposal
Sneak Attempt
Charge compoien
Was Timed to Avoid
Servicemen's Vote

The Citizens Committee to defeat
the charter last night defined the
campaign for q charter for Mont
gomery County as a sneak attempt
by the procharter group to change
the county's form of government
while nearly 1000 service men and
women are serving with the armed
forces.
The Charterites," the committee
said, planned their campaign so
that voting on the charter would
come this November, q time when
those eligible for duty would be in
the armed forces"
The committee added that in ad-
dition to planning the charter
vote at a time when nearly 1000
residents would be away from the
county the charter proponents have
objected to a letter to servicemen
and women. written by the COM
mittee to urge them to vote against
the charter.
Time Of Campaign Cited.
The campaign for the charter was
first held in 1912, during the II
months after Pearl Harbor, the
committee pointed out. Under the
Maryland constitution the final
vote would have to be In 1914. "Ob-
viously," the committee added, "the
Charterites planned to completely
change the county government to a
form never tried before, with total
disregard for the 1900 servicemen
and women"
The committee said that only
8,044 county residents voted in 1912
to submit the charter to final vote
this fall, or 5000 fewer than are
now away from home serving in the
armed forces This illustrates how
oblivious to the rights and interests
Of other people these Charterites
really are" the committee said.
In its attack on the committee s
letter to servicemen, the proeharter
group said the letter called the
charter form Of government "un-
tried" but failed to mention that
this system of government is sue
cessfully employed in more than 500
cities, towns and counties through
out the United States.
Statement Called Misleading.
This, like SO many of the char
terites' contentious. is totally mis-
leading and generally untrue" the
committee said. "Procharter people
themselves claim only that seven
out Of over 5000 American counties
have county managers, and have
never claimed that any American
county has charter-council-co county
manager form of government. II
there are such counties, the profess
sors and the procharter publicity
brigade ought to be able to find
them, name them and tell the
county voters about them.
I'm no American county," the
committee contended, "have the
voters been deprived OF their fran
chise to thss extent that the pro-
posed Monteomery County charter
would do. None Of the cities and
towns In the United States that
have councils and city managers
have any plan generally similar to
the council-manager setup pro-
posed in the charter.
I'VE are certain" the committee
said, that no statement or allega-
ton about the pending charter con-
tanned in the letter to servicemen
Is inaccurate or untrue"
