Lee Asks Legislature
Not 10 Exempt County
From Charter Law
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-An effort
to block the proposed exemption
of Montgomery County from provi-
sions of a 1945 law regulating
county charters was carried to the
Maryland Legislature last night by
E. Brooke Lee, county Democratic
leader.
Mr.. Lee placed on the desk OF
each lawmaker petition opposing
the plan of Montgomery County's
Republican delegation to sponsor a
bill to exclude the county from the
laws prohibition against the non
partisan elections of county coun-
ellis.
The 1945 act bars nonpartisan
elections by providing that men,
bers of a county council in county
adopting charter must be NOM
mated and elected in the same
manner in which legislators are
named.
In his petition Mr.. Lee said that
when James j. Lindsay, jr., for
merly a Baltimore County Senator
introduced the bill in the 1945 ses-
sion Mr.. Lindsay informed him
that che thought the provisions OF
the bill would strengthen the cause
of home rule by making the ap-
proval of a home rule charter by
any county more reasonable and
consequently more acceptable and
more prObable"
No negative votes were cast In
the Senate, but four members of
the 1945 House of Delegates were
against it, Mr.. Lee explained. He
added that several of those voting
mo- stated they did so in order not
to vote for anything that favored
or pertained to a further grant OF
home rule"
Mr. Lee said the provisions "ot
this Lindsay bill are in accord with
the resolutions publicly adopted by
the Democratic County Congress in
Montgomery County in January,
1945, in which the members of the
county Democratic organiza-
ton supported the continuation of
the two party system, the continua-
ton of the direct primary system
and opposed the substitution of nom
partisan general elections and nomi-
nations by petitions"
Senator Roy T. Davis, Republican,
of Montgomery, and the Mont
gomery County delegates contend
that Mr.. Lindsay introduced the
measure at Mr.. Lees request, prin-
cipally to prevent Montgomery
County from seeking a new charter
which would include provisions for
nonpartisan elections of a county
council.

An increase in the Takoma>Park
Town Council membership to per-
init more equitable representation
from that part of the town which is
in Prince Georges County, will be
asked of the Maryland General As
sembly.
The Town Council decided to
make the request. It also voted to
change the official corporate title
from the Town of Takoma Park"
to the 'City of Takoma Park" The
last authorization, If granted by the
Legislature, entails no additional
powers or responsibilities, Corpora
ton Counsel ]. Douglas Bradshaw
declared.
In the proposed new council
makeup, representation would re-
main the same in the election pre-
cincts within Montgomery County.
but the fourth precinct of Chillum
district, Prince Georges County,
would elect two members instead
of one.
Qualifications to Stand.
The 5-to-2 ratio in favor of Mont
gomery County areas for council
representation is about proportionate
to the distribution of the towns
population between the two jurisdic-
tions, Mr.. Bradshaw declared.
Qualifications and terms of office
would remain unchanged and coun-
cilmen would continue to be elected
under nonpartisan policy, Mayor
Oliver w. Youngblood said.
Approval was given the appoint
ment of the Rev. Harold r. Hodgson,
pastor of the First Methodist
Church, as justice of the peace for
the section of the town within
Prince Georges County.
| Support of action taken by the
Cumberland City Council indorsing
increased financial assistance from
the State to municipalities, as pro-
posed by the Sherbow Commission,
was voted by the Takoma Park
group.
Clerk to Get Zoning Pleas.
Mr.. Bradshaw was directed to
present Takoma Parks views to the
General Assembly.
The Council directed that future
applications for rezoning In the
Prince Georges County area of the
town be posted with Town Clerk j.
Wilson Dodd in addition to being
filed with county authorities.
Gordon H. Lester, 9O4 Jackson
avenue, told the council that had 1t
not been for a news item in The
Star recently, piece of property
would have been reclassified to al
low two-family houses in resi-
Dental neighborhood. As result
of the news story, protests were filed
by nearby property owners and the
application was denied.
. The Council directed Mr.. Dodd
to notify adjacent property owners
when he receives notices of recon-
ing petitions. Property in Prince
Georges also would be posted sini.
lar to the procedure followed in
Montgomery County.

Stepping into a wonderland Of
Strange shapes and sounds, Connie
Halle, 4, was continuing her musical
education.
Awed by the hustle. she remained
close to her mother. Open-mouthed,
she regarded a violinist bowling a few
practice bars. She peered into the
cavernous case of the contra bass
Finally, she was pursuaded to ap-
proach 'cellist for look at her
instrument.
Connie didn't say anything, but
she obviously was trying to under
stand what all these people were do
ing. Her mother, Mrs. c. A. Halle,
2515 Thirteenth street NV, said
Connie had been entered in chill
dren's music appreciation class.
Mrs. Halle had brought her to the
fifth neighborhood concert in the
series presented by the National
Symphony Orchestra under spon-
sorship of The Star.
DR.. Hans Kinder, the conductor
did not see Connie backstage in
Central High School last night, but
he would have been pleased if he
had. While treasuring old friends
of the orchestra, he always has been
happiest when knowing he was win
ming new ones among the youngsters
of Washington.
1t seemed probable Connie would
want to know more of these makers
of music.
The neighborhood concerts are
sponsored by The Star to bring the
artistry of a symphony orchestra to
all sections of the Capital and to
music lovers or potential music
lovers of all ages.
The audiences are varied, but
young people predominant. Attend
ance is being made easy for them,
and they are responding enthusi-
astically Small allowances are not
tapped, since admission is free. And
there is a maximum of informality

Vets Get 6 Months
More To Reinstate
Insurance Policies

Veterans of World War III have
been given six additional months
in which to reinState their Ma
tional Service Life Insurance poll
.cies without a physical examina-
ton, Gene Anheir, officer in
charge of the Key West, Veter-
ans Administration contact office,
reported today.
A new law passed last week by
Congress and signed by the Pres
ident, gives the administrator of
veterans affairs authority to de
termine the conditions of rein
statement on NSLI policies.
V. S. Parker, Miami VA re-
gional manager, was advised by
General Omar Bradley, VA adj
ministrator, that under his new
authority NSLI term policies
which have lapSed at anytime
may be reinstated by payment of
two monthly premiums and a
comparative health statement.
Veterans seeking to reinstate un-
der this provision simply sign a
statement that they are in as good
health as at the time their poll
cieS lapSed.
The new liberal reinstatement
privilege will remain in effect
until August l, Parker advised
Previously, a deadline of Febru-
airy l, l947, had been set for re-
instatements on comparative
health basis.
Under the new law veteran
may also obtain any permanent
NSLI plan from the VA without
the necessity of previously hold
ing term insurance. Under the
old law, the VA was required ia
issue NSLI originally on term
plan only, and it had to be carried
on that basis for one year before
it could be converted to a perm
anent plan.
The new act provides, in GER
tain cases, for automatic CONVEX
sion of term insurance to a perm
anent plan for policy holders who
are totally disabled. Under the
old law, if they failed to con;
vert within the term period, theft
insurance protection ceased.
All NSLI policies provide for a
waiver of premiums for veterans
who become totally disabled for
six or more consecutive months,
Even though premiums are being
waived, these veterans can con-
Vert their tsrh policies to slltypes
of permanent insurance except
that for an endowment plan. The
premiums. will be waived during
continuance of total disability
