Rockville Sets Mark
In Marriage Licenses

June continues to be the month
of Brides" at least in Montgomery
County, survey of the number Of
marriage licenses issued last month
by the Circuit Court clerk in Rock
vile revealed today.
A total Of 358 licenses were issued
last month-an all-time high. The
best previous record was in April,
when $50 marriage licenses were
issued. Last months total was 300.
The survey showed that the num-
Der of licenses issued in Rockville
has increased steadily at the rate
OF approximately 300 year.
Clayton K. Watkins, clerk of the
court, attributed the increase large
ly to the county's rapidly growing
population and the return of serv-
icemen and women.
He also pointed out that many
applicants come from Washington
and Virginia since those seeking
marriage licenses in the District
must wait three days after they
apply and must undergo a blood
test in Virginia. The Maryland

U. 5. Speeds Dispose
OF Extra Documents
And Old Records

Increasing cooperation in Gov
ernment agencies in disposing OF
noncurrent records and extra copies
Of documents as space-saving
move has been announced by w. E
Reynolds, commissioner of public
buildings.
Only relative few agencies, how
ever, have reported concrete steps
taken to dispose of the excess and
unused materials, he said.
He added to the Federal Com
munications Commission the Mari
time Commission and War Ship
ping Administration as we'll as the
General Accounting Office as agen-
cies which have gone all out to
comply with a Presidential directive
of month ago to save space by
this method.
Center System Helps.
The FEC, he told the Star, has
set up ut-of-town record manage
ment centers, one in Washington
and two others in Hoboken, N. j.,
and Richmond, Calf. A second
West Coast Center is now under
way, he said. All records are pro-
cessed by these centers which come
under Records Administration
Section in Washington.
AS a result, he explained, Mari
time-WSA setup constantly weeds
out unnecessary material and the
feWest possible records are stored
in Washington.
AS the result Of stepped up efforts
on the part of GAO, Mr.. Reynolds
said, 7736 tons or SIG freight car
loads or obsolete records in its files
have been sold for waste paper
and $200,392.37 turned over to the
United States Treasury.
This action has gone forward for
six years, but has been greatly
stepped up since the Presidents
order and has salvaged 173,O56
square feet of space for other pur-
poses.
Bagley Is Lauded.
Mr.. Reynolds credited Dudley w.
Bagley, GAO executive officer, with
having played the key role in "the
fine space saving record"
The FEC, Maritime Commission
and VISA, Mr.. Reynolds said, are
small outfits judged by the volume
OF records they made and keep, but
the GAO rates high in paper work
It other agencies follow suit to
the same degree, he asserted hun
dreds of thousands of square feet
OF valuable Government Office space
much Of it now leased from private
owners, can be saved
The National Archives estimates
there are 18,OO0,OOOOO0 cubic feet
of records now in the Government
enough to fill 18 buildings the size
of the National Archives Building at
