Kelly Wants No
Office But One
He Now Holds

Speaking before a group at
ending a barbecue supper in
Potomac School last week, Mayor
G. Lamar Kelly said he wanted to
explain that his interest in county
vide Democratic politics did not.
mean that he wanted to run for q
county or state office or be APP
pointed one that despite rumors
to the contrary, the only office he
would seek next year would be re-
election as Mayor of Rockville.
Mr.. Kelly explained that the
present mayor and town council is
in the midst of the improvement
program which followed the ex-
pansion of the town last June, and
that if people of the town want
them enough to re-elect them, he
and the council would Ike to COM
plete the projects now under way.
The office carries no pay but
plenty of headaches, he said.
Edward B. Beale, president of the
Potomac Democratic Club, presided
at the meeting. Mayor Kelly was
introduced by Col. TIL I'm a s
Shryock. Chester Clagett, a long
time prominent Democrat of the
area was also introduced.
The barbecue supper was served
under the craftsmanship of Mrs.
Gilbert Henderson. The Potomac
thermometers under the direction Of
Peyton Mannar, were the hit of the
evening. Mrs. Jane Knox, mem
bersh'9 chairman, told of the
growth of the club and expressed
pleasure at the number present.
Pointing out that the great
growth of this county came under
the Democratic regime; that the
Police Department was set up; the
School system established; roads
to take the farmer out of the mud
planned, before the present change
of government, Mr.. Kelly urged
that all present help to "get the
good old party rolling again"
The present administration Tar.
Kelly described as smacking of
military precision and lacking the
human touch. The beautiful Utopia
we had been led to expect during
the campaign of 1916, did not mat
erialize, he said.

Cab Drivers
Win Case To
Recover Fees

A jury directed by Judge Sted-
man Prescott on Tuesday brought
in a directed verdict in favor of
John S. Bigelow, owner of WE
Cab, Bethesda, who sought to re-
cover $203.75 which he paid in
taxicab license fees under the
county's taxicab ordinance. The
case had been appealed by the
county from a Rockville Police
Court decision about two months
ago.
The jury's action opens the way
for similar suits involving about
5000 paid by more than 100 cab
drivers. Mr.. Bigelow's attorneys,
James R. Miller and James H.
Pugh, who also represent the other
cab drivers, refused to reveal, how
ever, whether they would take
similar action in those cases.
Mr.. Bigelow claimed in his
testimony that the ordinance is
invalid. He said he paid the money
in 1947 and 1913 under protest
after he had been arrested for
failing to comply with the ordin-
ance. He added that the charges
were dropped after he paid the
fees.
County Attorney David Mac
Donald argued, however, that the
constitutionality of the taxicab
ordinance has not yet been finally
determined and that the county
should not be required to return
the license fees until such a de-
termination is made.

Cotton Price Support
Put al Billion in AZ
By the Asseeiafsd Press

An Agriculture Department official
estimated yesterday the Government
may have $1,000, ,0oo, 900 tied up in
the cotton price support program
by the end of the 1s4s crop year.
Frank Wooley, deputy admins
traitor of the Production and Mar
keting Administration, threw out
this figure as he told the House
Agriculture Committee it is time to
think about cutting back cotton pro-
duction.
The first meeting of the commit
tee in the new Congress took up the
problem of restoring production
controls>on this major crop, probably
In 1850. There was brief mention,
too, of a time when controls may go
back on other major crops like wheat
and corn.
This may be the first step in
drive to restore rigid 80 per cent
of parity price supports on basic
crops. The 194s Agriculture Act sets
up flexible supports ranging from so
to 80 per cent of parity, to begin in
1850. The drop now is 80 per cent.
Parity Is price calculated to
give the farmer purchasing power
equal to that Of past favorable
period)
Representative Pace, Democrat, of
Georgia, told yesterdays hearing
that if the flexible support plan were
