Charter Group
Assai|s Action
On Lindsaylaw
y
House Defect of
Repeater Is Called
Slap at Voters

Defeat of the Lindsay law re-
pealer in the House of Delegates
Mt Annapolis "is striking evidence
that Montgomery County does not
have any real home rule" the
County Charter Committee said to-
day.
The repeater, defeated yesterday
would have exempted Montgomery
County from provisions of the Lind
say law, which prohibits nom
partisan elections of county coun-
Gil in any county having a charter
form of government.
The Charter Committees state
ment, issued by Allen H. Gardner,
chairman, said the repeater would
have given Montgomery voters the
right to decide fore themselves
whether they would elect their coun-
Gil on a ballot without party desig-
nation.
" Our voters by overwhelmingly
defeating the county political ma
chine, which opposed such an
amendment, plainly showed in the
1916 election that they wished to
have the law amended" The state
ment said:
l Action Called Slap In Face.
"Gov. Lane, at conference on
March 4 with Charter Committee
representatives, state ne was main
tanning a hands Off policy and
that it did not make any difference
TO him whether the bill was passed
or defeated.
THE fact is, however, that in the
last few days the Governors admin
istration has exerted every influence
to defeat this purely county measure.
This defeat is slap in the face
for Montgomery County voters gen.
orally and in particular for the
many Government employees who
are barred by the Hatch Act from
participation in partisan election.
1.-The citizens of Montgomery
County will not soon forget the
lessons of this defeat. They will not
forget the political influences op-
posing them. They will not forget
the honest efforts of their delega-
ton at Annapolis to serve them
And they will not forget the i'm
portance of adopting a home rule
charter in 1948."

WINDOWS SMASHED

A few C. Juneau alleged delin- quents, during Halloween, made a tour of Douglas on flat bed truck, stopping in front of the Douglas Public School, and pitching large rocks into the windows breaking many, all in different classrooms. Fortunately, they were seen, by sev- eral alert Douglas boys and some adults, who took good notice of their vehicle, so the blame would go to the right party.
 The following day, School Sup erintendent Rice, accompanied by the youngsters who had seen the destruction, sleuthed the Juneau streets, with the Juneau Police, and identified the vehicle whose owner was able to supply the names of those responsible.
 It is thought that the same Ju- veniies, are responsible for the breaking of windows and street lights in Juneau on that evening.
 The case is now in the hands of the U. s. Commissioner, as the par ticipants are under age.
