Republican
Campaign Opens
With Barbecue

In rustic. setting, in the shadow
of Brooke Johns Old Barn, near
Norbeck, Saturday afternoon the
Montgomery County Republicans
fired the opening guns of their
Fall campaign. 1t was regarded as
significant that a number of reg
istered Democrats were among the
estimated 1000 persons who at
tended, ate barbecued beef sand
witches, and heard speeches by
several Republican leaders.
Baltimore's Mayor Theodore
Roosevelt McKeldin, gubernatorial
candidate, was the drawing card
his was the principal address.
Pointing out that he was a ere
publican mayor of a Democratic
City,, Mr.. McKeldin stated that
his party leaders were not afraid
OF the outcome in the city or on
on the Eastern Shore and that he
expected Republican victory.
The counties of Western Mary
land, including Montgomery are
the real battle-ground, he said.
The mayor deplored the lack of
courage and character in TIE Unit
e. tSates at the present. time,
contrasting our policy regarding
first Poland, then Germany and
now Russia with that shown when
the Monroe Doctrine was first an
nounced, when we had little but
courage with which to back it up.
He also urged that about forty
"communistic" leaders who are
left in Washington be gotten rid
of to avoid the spread of COM
n'unism in this country. He also
opposed giving up the secret of
the atom bomb.
Other speakers were Brig. Gen.
D. John Marley, candidate for the
U. S. Senate, Representative J.

welfare Board
Faces Deficit"
Says Mrs. KurtZ

Mrs. Dorothy M. Kurtz, exec
utive secretary of the Montgomery
County Welfare Board, told the
County Commissioners yesterday
that if the State did not come
through with the matching funds
for foster care of children, her
board would have deficit of ST.
900 by the end of the fiscal year.
The State has allowed a sum to
match that allocated by the county
commissioners, but this had not
been paid because there is no
money in the State fund allocated
for the purpose.
The commissioners were told
that because between 200 and 300
children from the District of
Columbia are placed in foster
ZONES in this county and paid for
at higher rate, it will be neces-
Gary for the Welfare Board of this
county to increase their pay for
care of it's children. For children
ever three years old the pay will
be increased from $26 to $50. For
those under three, from $50 to
$35, with special provisions made
for temporary care. This will
still leave the District rate of pay
higher than that of the county.
The Board held it's regular
meeting yesterday, because in the
absence of Commissioners White
and Prescott on Tuesday, there
was not a quorum. Hearings set
for Tuesday were heard by Com
missioners Stadler and Lansdale
and action deferred.
A Hearing on the application of
pr. Dexter Billiard for renewal of
a permit to operate Chestnut
Lodge Sanitariume in Rockville,
was set for October 10.
The Laytonsville Homemaker
Club applied foe permit to hold
Bingo party, at Woodman Hall,
on September 81, for benefit of
it's French orphan fund.
In a letter to the board, Allen
H. Gardner, president of the
Charter Committee reminded the
commissioners that they might
name 5 candidates for election to
the Charter Board, and that said
names must be filed with the
Board of Election Supervisors at
least 40 days prior to the general
election in November. The COM
raissioners took the letter under
edvisement.

Charter Again
To Be An Issue
In The Election

That Charter is to be again an
issue in county elections was as
sured this week members of the
Charter Board, on Monday, filed a
petition with the county Board Of
Election Supervisors. The pet
i;ion contained 1904 names, the
comittee said. 1t was necessary
that it contain at east 9,252
signatures.
The petition asks for a vote on
establishment of a fve-man board
to draft proposed charter for
submission to the voters in the
1948 election. The voters, this
November, will decide whether
this commission is to be named,
and at the same time elect five
members Of the charter board.
The county commissioners viii
name five candidates and the
Charter Committee, by petition,
will present the names Of five
others.
In 1914 a charter was turned
down by the voters of the county,
1929 in favor and 14,410 against.
If the voters decide that new
charter board is to be elected, an
entirely new charter will be pre-
pared for submission to the voters
in 1913. The new charter prob
ably will contain many of the fea-
lures of the defeated instrument,
but is expected to have added fea-
lures.
Included in the group which
presented the petition were Mrs.
John N. Werner, executive sec
rotary Of the Charter Committee;
former Judge Thomas C. Kelley Of
the Orphans Court, a member OF
the board of directors; Mrs.
Lawrence M. Vaughan, Bethesda,
chairman of the field division in
charge Of preparing the petition;
Clarence N. Smith, chairman Of
the Silver Spring precinct; Col.
Norman B. Ames, chairman of the
Bethesda precinct, and Mrs.
Horace J. Nickels Of the executive
committee.
According to the communities
substantial number Of citizens, in
GLIDING the families Of some Coun-
ty employees, indicated that they
favored the Charter program, but,
because of the fear Of reprisals by
the County policital machine in
power, were unwilling to make
their support public by signing
the petition.

Walter Johnson
WithdraWs From
Election Race

Walter P. johnson, last week
withdrew his candidacy for re-
election on the Republican ticket
to the Montgomery County Board
of Commissioners from the Sc

The withdrawal was necessary
because of his physical condition.

for treatment of an inoperablc
tumor of the brain.
Walter Dawson, chairman Of
the Republican State Central
Committee said that johnson
asked when he went to the hos

if and when the party felt it
necessary. Dawson said he visited
johnson last week and told him
that it probably would be better
to withdraw.
At the Republican Rally on Sat-
