Lofstrand Defends
Montgomery Units
legislative Record

Anders r. Lofstrand, jr., chair
man of the Montgomery County
delegation to the Maryland House
of Delegates, yesterday defended the
Republican delegations record at
Annapolis against attacks which
have been made by members Of the
Democratic Party.
Lacy Shaw, chairman Of the
Montgomery State Central Commit
tee, had criticized the delegation
for sponsoring Oppressive county
laws" and large bond issues.
MFR. Shaws charges against the
Republican State Senator (Roy
Tasco Davis and the all-Republi-
can delegation" Mr.. Lofstrand said,
were merely an attempt by him to
whitewash the now defunct Demo-
cratic regime for its many failures
in recent years"
He added that the Democratic
State Central Committee "and the
Lee organization" opposed some leg
islative efforts of the delegation
because "the few political office
holder favorites" were affected.
Mr.. Lofstrands statement de-
clared in part:
The 100000 bond issue which
represents the largest bond author
ization ever enacted in Montgomery
County. was the direct result OF the
failures of the Democratic organiza-
ton to heed the words of Alexar-
der K. Hancock, controller for
Montgomery County, who recon-
mended in his annual financial re-
port for the years 1942-43-44:
That the commissioners take
steps to pay off as many of the
maturing bonds as possible so that
the county may be kept in good
financial condition in order that the
capital outlay which will probably
be found advisable at the termina-
ton of the war may be, financed
economically"
"The passage of time has indicated
that this warning was appropriate,
Mr.. Lofstrand said. ut is now
pointed out that there already is a
considerable demand for postwar
capital outlay, and for new and ex-
panded governmental services. and
there is the distant probability that
county revenues will not increase
rapidly enough to meet these de-
mands without an increase in the
general county tax rate.
"Of this bond issue. S. 5.000, 900 is
for the school program and this
amount of bond issue will be
financed by the s350ooo that the
county viii receive from the State
through the adoption of the recon1-
of the Sherhow Report.
During the years when construc-
ton was impossible, no reserve was
laid aside for county road construc-
tion, consequently an expanded road

Police Chief in Montgomery
Seeks PIune to Aidin Hunts

Possibility of an "air force" to aid
the policing Of Montgomery County
was forecast yesterday by County
Police Chief Charles M. Orme.
T Chief Orme said he had been
waiting "for an opportune time" to
present the idea to the county
commissioners. Yesterday Corp.
Melvin Wheeler, county policeman,
and private pilot used a plane IN
the hunt near the University Of
Maryland for two escaped safe
burglars.
Although the robbers had not been
apprehended at a late hour last
night, Chief Orme said the spotting
work performed by Corp. Wheeler
was very important in eliminating
search areas for the ground parties.
Chief Orme said he would discuss
the matter with Brooke Johns,
chairman of the county commits
sioners, at the earliest opportunity.
He mentioned that a small plane
would be useful to the county not
only in hunting criminals but in
traffic control and in rescue work
in remote sections.
A small plane, he AIDED would
not be a great expense to county
taxpayers.
