Republicans
Criticised
And Defended

Early in the week Lacy Shaw
chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee said, "The Re
publican County Platform declares
for the division of Montgomery
County into separate County Com
missioner's Districts which would
have to be for administrative, road
or street or tax purposes, as well
as separate legislative districts and
so seeks to destroy the present
system of nominating and electing
these officials by countrywide. votes. "
"This is the old borough system
which is the curse of every Ameri-
can that has set it up. The
next step is the creation of school
districts in different parts of the
county. That undoubtedly is the
unspoken part of the Republican
program"
In support of the present
system, Mr.. Shaw quoted DR.. N.
L. Englehardt, for more than
score of years professor or dean
Of Teachers College of the Gradu
ate School of Columbia University,
who last month said, Montgomery
County has a flexible and pro-
gressive system of county govern
ment. The major Legislative body
is a board of commissions elected
on a countrywide basis. The chef
administrative official is appointed
by the county commissioners, and
is responsible through them to the
people the county"
Platform Defended
Yesterday the Republican
Platform Committee replied that
the statement issued by Mr.. Shaw.
as such a complete distortion of
the acts that the Republican Plat
form Committee cannot permit it
t. go unchallenged."

word is syllables in length, arc
A syllables, IL are 3 syllables, IL
are 2 syllables, and 81 are 1 syl-
liable in length. The word school
does not occur anywhere in the
section of the platform dealing
with the elections. The plank read:
"The Republican Party advocates
that, in order to attain truly rep
resentative government, the coun-
ty be divided into districts for
election of delegates to the house
Of Delegates as we'll as for County
Commissioners and that such Of
Iicers shall be elected by the
qualified voters of their respective
districts and not on a countrywide
basis as at present"

Cab Beats Time
By Air

NEW YORK - To make his
sensational recording of the hit
tune 1.-THE Honeydripper" Cab
Galloway few his band 1900
miles in his own transport
plane. In early December Cab
stole a march on the rest Of
the music profession by pur-
chasing a CAT from the Gov
ernment's surplus stocks. When
his orchestra was making a Sc
ries of one-night stands in the
South, Columbia Records sent
an urgent wire for the band
to come to New York to record
the new song. The band had
no open dates, and to travel
from South Caroline to New
York would have prevented
Cab from appearing at his next
engagement. He solved the
problem by phoning LaGuardia
Airport, and faster than you
can say hi-de-ho the plane was
on its way south. 1t picked up
the musicians after their eve
ning's performance and THE
Honeydripper" was recorded
the next afternoon.
