Lee Calls Lofstrand's
Charges on Gambling
Absolutely False

Montgomery County Democratic
Leader E. Brooke Lee today de-
scribed as entirely false" a charge
by the chairman of the county, S
Republican legislative delegation
that laws passed at the recent
session of the General Assembly
had encouraged gambling in the
State.
Delegate Anders R. Lofstrand.
jr.. had accused Maryland Demo-
cratic administration OF opening
wide the doors OF the State to
organized gambling" by support
ing bills to increase the number
of racing days at Laurel and
/ Bowie.
He also cited measures to legal
ize slot machines in Prince
Georges and Charles Counties and
in Ocean City. Worcester County
All are subject to referenda By
the voters of the areas affected.
Delegates "Just Holler."
Mr.. Lee, in his statement,
claimed the county delegation
has no record against gambling
ANYWHERE
They lust holler though they
do not pass any laws of construc-
tive value either to their county
lor their State" he asserted.
He added the delegation tailed
Ito speak against bills to add 10
racing days at Laurel and 10 at
Bowie.
"On the contrary" Mr.. Lee de-
clared. two years ago they did not
even raise their voices when the
Legislature in which they also
served created 100 more days of
harness racing with pari-mutuel
betting
He said that although the del
egation demands home rule for
Montgomery. Mr.. Lofstrand OBJ
jects that delegations from
Charles. Worcester and Prince
Georges Counties passed local laws
for the counties they repre-
sent. ."
Usually Loud Fight.
"When the Prince Georges
County bill was up" he continued.
"the only interest the Montgom-
cry County delegation took in
protecting the people was to make
their usually loud and ineffective
floor fight to amend the bill so
that Montgomery residents could
sell and operate slot machines in
Prince Georges. ."
In referring to Mr.. Lofstrand' S
claim that the delegation opposed
an attempt to relax county
liquor laws by permitting vet
erans' organizations to sell liquor
in their clubhouses. Mr.. Lee posed
this question:
How do they explain their del
egation vote for Sunday liquor
sales every week of the year
throughout Baltimore City. where
half of the people of the State
live?"

vides for social and recreational
activities for the members OF the
congregation. In such instances
it may well be that the member
ship is limited to congregational
members only. However, in most
instances, the mems club is the
only agency through which the
unsynagogued persons can be
reached; those who either treat
the synagogue with such awe that
they do not even enter it or those
who are utterly estranged from
the synagogue for various rea-
sons and probably could never

Der. Such persons can be readily

their close association with mem
hers of the synagogue makes
them feel more at home IN the
synagogue and eventually they
NAV become congregational
members. The mems CLUB IN
s,,ch instances would act as
"feeder" of congregational mem
bers. One may say that such
members having some OF the
benefits of the synagogue, Will
not become congregational mem
hers. This is no argument against
attempting to reach those VINO
are entirely unsynagogued, "A
proper approach by the mems
club and the synagogue Will
readily make such persons con-
gregational members after per-
iod of orientation.
Where there is a dual mem
bership in a synagogue, it is US
ually differentiated by member
ship dues and status in the Or
ganization. Normally members
of the club who are not mem
bers of the synagogue should not
hold office since they may not
be primarily concerned with syn
agogue problems which are the
proper concern of the officers Of
the mems club. One must also
be careful by provisions in the
Bylaws or other means that the
majority Of the Board does not
consist of non-congregational
members since the members OF
the Board make the policy Of
the mems club. If the majority
are non-congregational mem
bers, we may find that the mems
club will become somewhat dis
associated from the synagogue by
policy and activity.
By and large, a dual member
ship in a mems club should be
encouraged. 1t is probably one
of the best means of reaching
the totally unsynagogued per-
son in the community. Such per-
son will eventually become af-
filiated with synagogue activities
and thus strengthen the syna-
gogue.
