EUen Primary Elections
Haze A Humorous Side

In contrast to the seriousness
with which most of the candidates
waged their campaigns for cleo
ton in the Primaries this week,
are the amusing things which
happened here and there in the
polling places.
For instance, there were sever
al precincts where the few very
aged, and slightly infrm, election
officials, who nave worked for
their respective parties every
election for Lo! these many years,
had difficulty in either seeing the
Register, or hearing the voter
speak. This made extra work for
the young and alert officials who
were also helping.
One young colored girl went
into the voting booth, carefully
closed the curtain, and then with
a pencil, made an tx" on the la
bel Of each candidate she wanted
to vote for, entirely ignoring the
pointers which would have regis
tered her vote. Imagine the con-
sternation of the voting officials
when they found her neat row of
"X's" almost Immediately! How
ever, one of the voting machine
custodians arrived at once, insert
ed new labels, and the day was
saved.
One woman thought that you

County TO Keep
S1.5O Tax Rate
Another Year

On Saturday the Montgomery
County Commissioners signed the
county tax levy for the coming
year, assuring residents of the
continuation of the basic tax rate
of $1.50 on each 500 of assessed
value. This rate has been in effect
for nine years.
The Commissioners in taking
this action rejected County Super
visor Willard F. Days recon-
mendation that the tax be raised
twenty five cents on each $500
of assessed property value.
The actual amount of the bud
get will be tabulated in few
days, according to Julius P. Stad-
Ter, president of the board. The
budget represents an increase of
approximately $47,938 I in operat-
ing expenses over the proposal
of Day. but at the same time
adds $4,000 asked by the County
Board of Education for improve
ment of the school system and
$11,167 for increased Welfare
Board salaries.
Changes made in signing the
budget and levy which differed
from the recommendation of the
county supervisor include a re-
check of the probable earning Of
the Montgomery County Liquor
Control Boards which indicates q
net profit Of $4,000 instead Of
the $325,0OO estimate.
The Commissioners said they
felt justified in not increasing the
tax rate because the tremendous
post war growth in construction
indicated for the suburban area
viii provide a substantial increase
lin the county's taxable basis in
4 Me next several years.
New building permits for the
sueurban part of the county in
the past nine months show con
struction amounting to $1O,60O,,
900 but the Commissioners cited
that practically none of the
structures have reached the coun.
ty tax rolls because of scarcity OF
labor and materials. This SIC, 800.
900 when added to the taxable
basis of the County at the $1.5O
rate, will add $4,000 annually
to the county's income from direct
real estate taxes at the old rate
the commissioners stated.

400 Fryers Lost
In Rockville Fire

Robert Henley, u former men,
Der of the Rockville Fire Depart

yer Farm on Old Georgetown
Road, lost 400 frying chickens, a
ton of chicken feed, and a good
chicken house in a fire on Tues

ment was unable to put out the
fire, since it was we'll advanced
when discovered. Mr.. Henley esti-
mates his loss to be about $500.
Origin of the fire is undetermined.
1t may have been caused by de-
fective wiring, or by embers of a
trash fire nearby.

key for O'Conor, she moved the
large lever which opened the cur
tain, and thereby concluded her
vote. She thought she was to move
The lever for each candidate. If
that had been the case, she would
have developed blisters by the
time she had swung the curtain
lever 81 times.
When the polls closed at 7 PM,
in some precincts there were as
many as 100 people waiting to
vote. According to law, every one
in the polling place at closing
time is entitled to vote. One Lay
louisville precinct solved the wait
ing problem by passing out num-
bered slips of paper to the people
waiting to vote, so that they could
sit down wherever possible, and
yet not lose their turn. The "Safe-
way meat counter" influence was
felt even at the polls!
The long slate of la candidates
held up voting considerably with
some voters talking as long as 10
minutes to make their selections.
One polling place reported Z min
utes as the average, but some
folks claimed that the entire tick
ct could be voted in 30 seconds -
and they weren't Republicans!

Army, Navy Lengthen
Service Period Of
Medical Officers

Critical shortages of medical and
dental officers in the Army, Navy
and Veterans Administration have
necessitated revamping requirements
of length of service for personnel
of these professions, it was an
nounced jointly by the Army and
Navy today.
The change falls most heavily
upon young medical officers in the
Navy who were assisted in their
education under the Viz program
The Navy had planned to release
these officers by next August, when
its rehabilitation is scheduled to be
completed, but now they will have
to serve two years on active duty
after completion of internships.
Two years also will be required of
those educated under the Armys
specialized training program, but
this will be reduction, since it had
been planned originally for them to
serve three years.
BY making the changes, it was
said, the requirements of the Army
and Navy can be met. The Army
can make available to the Veterans
Administration approximately 1000
medical officers and the Navy about
500.
Dentists, who were wholly or par
TALLY assisted in their education by
the Government, will be required to
serve three years in both services.
In the case Of the Army, this re-
duces the active duty requirement
from 80 to 36 months.
Approximately 800 dental officers
now being educated for the naval
dental service will be transferred
to the Army for active duty. When
this transfer is completed, it was
announced, the period of service
Evening star., 1946-05-30

required Of all dental officers will
be further reduced.
However, before discharge re-
quiremer1ts can be reduced to two
years for both services, the Army
will require additional dental Of
ficers. To meet this need, selective
service has been asked to obtain
1,5O0 young dentists who will be
accepted with the understanding
that not more than two years OF
service will be required of them.
The Army said that physically
qualified dentists who are graduates
Evening star., 1946-05-30

of the ASTP and other approved
dental schools would be given COM
missions.
Others who wait to be drafted will
have to serve four months as en-
listed men before they can secure
commissions, 1t added.

Seamen risked their lives in the
merchant marine and 5,579 were lost
when their ships went down. But ship
owners not only took no risks, they
were insured at such fabulous rates
that many might have prayed for a

for as high as Ga times their legal
valuation. For 1877 ships, 20 or more

End of Long Political Parade For
Sen. Wheeler Approaches

The political parade as it relates to
the contenders for the office of Uni.
ted States Senator has reached a stage
of considerable content, and incident
ly there is much more uncertainty as
to the result than there was six years
ago.
In the last campaign there was new
er any doubt as to the outcome. The
Wheeler managers, and the senior
senator himself, at all times assumed
an sit was in the bag" contest, and
the final count justified that attitude
But all that has been changed. There
is much doubt and anxiety in the
Wheeler camp. Many chickens have
come home to roost" to plague the sen
ior senator. particularly as it relates
to his claim of always being for the
working man. That claim has been
proven "spotty," at least, and an over
all review of the record reveals almost
a complete negative picture.
From comments of the man in the
street it appears that facts and the
revealing records are going to be the
decisive factors. The usual political
brickbats, the favorite weapon of the
senior senator and his mixed crowd Of
claim agents, have lost their potency.
Unlike six years ago, the senator
does not send word to Butte from an
other Montana city that he doesn't
need the Butte vote, with the know
ledge that he has what was referred
to as the farmer-yokel vote.
The farmer and the worker are in
