But this time. says the Army, no

Theft OF S3,285 in three separate
safe robberies in the downtown area

$4,000 there, after breaking off the
safes combination.

was taken from a safe in their Office.
The technique was the same as that

Baby Care While

Mothers of small children in the
18th precinct of Bethesda can take
them along when they go to vote
Tuesday. Girl Scout Troop 178,
composed of students at the Brad
ley School, will take care of the
children while the mothers are
voting
A room at the school, which is
the 18th precinct voting place, will
be fitted with toys blocks, crayons
and paper to keep the youngsters
amused.
If the mothers prefer to leave
the children at home, the Girl
Scouts will be glad to act as baby
sitters if the homes are in the
neighborhood of the school. An
appointment can be made by call

Those ,oho oppose the plan claim
School construction under the
charter would be brought to halt
because OF the 7 per cent limitation
on the county's bonded indebted
ness, as proposed in the plan.
At present, the county is over
this figure and, to build more
schools, the real estate tax rate
would have to be raised to "astron-
omical heights" If the charter were
approved.
Residents actually would not have
home rule, since the council would
have no control over the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission,
which has jurisdiction over sewers
and storm water drainage; the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, which
concerns itself with parks and rec
reational facilities; the Board of
Education and the Liquor Board,
whose members are appointed by
the Governor.
In fact. the county commissioners
already have authority to do every
thing the council could do, except
issue bonds, under provisions of a
law passed at the 1945 session of
the General Assembly.
If the charter is adopted, the
local controls held by suburban
area residents through county build
ings in Silver Spring and Bethesda
would be abolished and all power
would be concentrated in the hands
OF a county manager in Rockville.
The council could enact legisla-
tion during only one month year
in May. This would leave no
loophole for emergency action at
other times. Under the present
system, the General Assembly can
be called into special session at any
time.
The present system of checks and
balances, with legislation passed
at Annapolis subject to a veto by
the governor, would be eliminated.
The council would pass its own
laws and then enforce them. While
the charter has q veto provision,
it is illogical to assume the coun-
Gil would pass legislation and then
veto its own acts.
