Charter Shift
Complications
In County Seen
Legality of AboIishins
Elective Posts in
Midterm Studied

Possible legal complications were
forecast today in the abolition OF
certain Montgomery County Offices
when council government
replaces the commissioner system in
January.
David E. Belts, Rockville attor-
ney. suggested the possibility in con-
nection with a study Of County
Treasurer John B. Diamonds re-
sponsibility for funds under his
control.
Mr.. Belts, who was among the
lawyers for charter opponents dur.
ing recent unsuccessful court test,
said there is "a whole body of law"
on abolishing elective Offices in mid
term. He said he was reviewing it
for the personal protection of Mr..
Diamond, who is under both State
and county bond.
To Reach Decision in 80 Days.
Mr.. Belts said decision would be
reached within 80 days on whether
Mr.. Diamond should or should not
turn over to the new Department Of
Finance the public funds with which
he Is entrusted. The composition Of
the new council may be factor in
the decision, he added. For, if Mr..
Diamond is appointed collector of
taxes in the new department. he
would hold continuing responsibility
for the money.
The attorney said legal difficulties
may also be involved in the removal
of the five elected county commits.
sioners before their terms expire.
He has not examined the law on this
point, however, he added.
Only Other Elective Officer.
Under the charter adopted No.
vember 2, seven-member council
will replace the commissioners. Mr..
Diamonds position is the only other
elective Office abolished. Other coun-
ty positions which will be dropped
are filled by appointment.
County Commissioner Wesley I.
Sauter of Bethesda, who fought the
charter movement, said last week
that the county may be legally
bound to pay the commissioners for
the unexpired two-year portion Of
their terms after the council takes

Peacemakers Conference
Held in Chicago
To Oppose Draft

CHICAGO-(ANP)-A three day
conference was held here at the
Oliyet Institute, July 30-August 1,
by the Peacemakers in order ito
mobilize defiance to the draft"
The conference was called when
General Hershey announced that
August 30 would be the first day
of registration for the draft.
The Peacemakers is a national
group organized for the abolition
of war through non-violent direct
action with national offices at 2O13
Fifth avenue, New York City.
Conferees wore Refuse to be
Drafted" tags on their chests, and
came from all over the country.
The call for the conference read:
"The adoption Of a war policy
by the United States, symbolized
by the institution of the draft,
represents the same turning point
in American development as was
the advent of Hitler to power in
Germany.
at is the surrender to totalitar-
ianism and degradation This to-
tai evil must be met with total
rejection and all out resistance.
All who would truly serve their
country and mankind must now
withdraw all possible voluntary
support from the war effort of this
government"
This statement was signed by
Cecil Hinshaw, president, William
Penn College; A. J. Music, author
and national executive secretary,
Fellowship of Reconciliation; Mil
ton Meyer journalist; Dwight Mac
donald, editor, Politics magazine,
and Roy Kepler, executive secre-
tary, War Resisters' League.
Although the Peacemakers re-
allied that in defying the draft
they would be violating the Selec-
tive Service act, they quoted
Mahatma Gandhi of India, $50
long as the superstition that man
should obey unjust laws exists, SO
long will their slavery exist"

review Of the founding Of the Owls
has never been fully told
It is pretty nice to get in your
car and ride out to the Owls pic
mic grounds. Pity the engagements
left behind. A fly has a better
chance escaping a spiders web
than your leaving an Owls picnic.
You brought nothing with you
to the Owls picnic because you
expected to come see and return.
Once in the picnic grounds, by the
time you returned to the gate
leading home, sweet home, your
day is done. Your only regret is
the Owls picnic is an annual af-
fair and not a camping ground
for the summer.
If you were not at the Owls
picnic, brother, sister, that is just
your bad luck. Try to be there.
