sion officials.
Ernest v. Connolly, Washington
War Manpower director who called
the meeting, said officials hoped the
program would combat the threat

The program, Mr.. Connolly said,
excludes students from all employ
ment plans until other sources of
labor have been exhausted and pro-
vides for the curtailment or end of
such employment whenever other
labor becomes available.
Work Limited to Four Hours.
Under the plan, outside employ
ment for students of 16 and II is
limited to four hours a day when
school is in session. Nine hours a
day is the limit for combined

Col. Vandevanter's wife, the for
mer Miss Carol Lathrop, was the
central figure in an international
incident In Peiping. China, in July
1887, when she was kicked by a

Japanese Embassy there. An in

Upholds Nonpartisan Ballot.
THE opposition makes a special
point Of the fact that the county
council, under the charter, would be
elected on nonpartisan ballot and
that this. destroys the two-party
system" Mr.. Gardner said. THE
Charter Committee does not chal-
lenge the advantages of the two
party system in State and national
elections, but insists that there is
little, If any, relationship between
State and national issues on the
one hand and purely local issues on
the other"
The necessity for preferring
charges in order to remove depart
ment heads under the charter, he
said, thwarts professional poll
ticians who want the power to dis
charge such officials without cause
If they fail to go along with the
intrigues of machine politics"

Charter Group Head
SAYS Political Bosses
Are Fighting Plan

Allen H. Gardner, president of
the Montgomery Charter Commit
tee, replied to charges by Judge
Albert E. Brault, spokesman for the
Citizens Committee to Defeat
Charter, against the proposed char
ter form of government to be voted
on in the county November 7.
I'm plain language" he said, "the
charter is designed to put more
business and less politics in our
county government, and the pro-
fessional politicians don't like it.
THE political bosses of Mont
gomery County," Mr.. Gardner said,
becoming more than a little wor-
ried over the strong public support
for the charter, I" have decided
10 renew their unsuccessful opposi-
ton Of two years ago. This time
they have decided to masquerade
as a so-called Citizens Committee.
This thin disguise will not fool any
one familiar with the facts and the
persons involved"
He declared that Judge Brault,
executive secretary and treasurer of
the Citizens Committee, is "him-
self an off1ceholding beneficiary OF
Montgomery County's political ma
chine and was one of the five de-
feated candidates for the Charter
Board nominated by that machine
in 1912"
always Spoils Jobs"
Mr. Gardner said the announce
ment that the anticharter group
includes Democrats and Republicans
was typical of well oiled" political
machines and that "the are always
spoils jobs, legal advertising and
the like to divide with certain of
the opposition who will cooperate"
The report of the Brookings Insti-
tuition survey of the county govern
ment concluded that Montgomery
County had "outgrown" it's form of
government, he said, and recon-
mended the adoption of a charter.
He called this the consensus of
opinion
Attacking opposition charges that
the charter was 'untried,' Mr..
Gardner said on the contrary it was
based on the experience of the past.
Among its advantages, he continued,
are legislative home rule, a county
manager, a merit system, financial
controls and county council elect
ed on a nonpartisan ticket.
Under legislative home rule" he
declared, local laws will be passed
in Rockville by county council in
stead of at Annapolis by a State
Legislature which has too little time
to give to local laws" Pointing out
that under the present system it is
possible to pass laws with secrecy,
he gave as an example the Mary

Col. Vandeyanter, holder OF the
Silver Star with one Oak Leaf Clus-
ter, the Distinguished Flying Cross
with two clusters and the Air Medal
with four Ok Leaf Clusters, said he
found his Pacific assignment more
fun" when he had only his own
plane to worry about. In England,
as group commander, he had the
responsibility of the group. but flew
himself only about once or twice a
month.
Col. Vandevanter is credited with
18 missions in the Pacific theater.
He participated in operations in the
Philippines, Java and Australia as a
member of the old 10Th Bombard-
ment Group. He was sent to the
European theater about a year and
a half ago as captain.

Kent Plans 10 Drain Quarry
In Hopes Of Finding Jewels


Otis Beall Kent, owner of the
l,OOO-acre estate, Kentland, near
Ounce Orchard, Md, and possessor
of SCI 900 jewel collection, has re-
vealed ne intends to siphon water
from an abandoned rock quarry on
his estate into an artificial lake in
hopes OF finding part of the jewelry
which Mrs. Frances Dolmage, SO,
told police she buried on the banks
OF the pit "for spite" after taking
them from his apartment.
Mr.. Kent emphasized, however.
that, production of food on his
estate is the prime consideration at
present and he did not intend to
worry about his jewelry collection
until the war is over.
Mrs. Dolmage has said she buried
part of Mr. Kent's jewels on the
bank of the quarry, and pointed out
to police hole on the bank near
fence rail where she said she
buried the jewels in a five-pound
lard can.
While Mr.. Kent said the purpose
of the proposed lake would be to
provide additional fire protection
for the estate and aid the land
scaping, he explained he was going
to overlook no possibility Of recov-
ering the rest Of his gems.

Oats and barley also were down

At their lows rye was off more

prices somewhat above the days

cash wheat prices in the south
