Gov. Lane and George P. Ma
honey repeated some of their rea-
sons why each believes he should

Gov. Lane told Allegany Coun-
tians of the accomplishments of
his administration-especially as

And Mr.. Mahoney, at a rally
in Anne Arundel County, said he
could save the State-and it's tax
payers-money without detrimen-
tally affecting State services or
teachers salaries.
He said that Mr.. Lane stands
'for more spending of the peoples
money and more taxing of the
people to get it, and increasing
the States. debt"
The Governor made a radio

gave another one at rally there

have been possible in Allegany

not rearranged the fiscal structure

No Humn1ing at Shorty's;; Birds Are Gone
By ChorIes A. McAIeer

A. A. (Shorty) Edwards, Bethes-
da hamburger restaurateur, has
given up his pet humming birds
because the Government says it's
illegal to keep migratory birds in
captivity.
Shorty revealed today he had
freed the two birds which brought
him considerable newspaper pub
licity and television appearance
on the "Tailwaggers Club" pro-
gram over station WMAL-TV.
1t was that publicity, Shorty
said, which led the Interior De-
partment's Fish and Wild Life
Service to send a representative
to see him.
The representative, Leon B.
Cool, jr., special investigator
who hops around the country in a
seaplane checking on migratory
birds, told Shorty he was violat-
ing the law and saw to it that the
birds were let loose.
MY wife and family kind of
broke down and cried but I took
it on the chin" Shorty lamented.
When they told me was vio-
lating the law, I did what I was
told"
The Wild Life Service, Shorty
explained, told him that migrat-
ing birds could not live long in
captivity because they wouldn't
get the right things to eat. Hum
ming birds, Shorty was told, de-
pend on insects for 81 per cent of
their diet. spiders for As per cent,
and honey or nectar for the re-
naming 4 per cent.
"All I fed them was honey and
they loved me for it," Shorty de-
clared. "The two of them would
eat honey off my nose"

Judge TO Study
Fairfax Petition
For Manager
Will Set Referendum
After Hearing on
Legality Of Proposal
By james BirchfieId

Judge Paul E. Brown of the
Fairfax County Circuit Court said
today he will set a referendum for
a county manager form of gov
ernment in the county at the
November general election, If a
petition for the referendum proves
to be "in order"
At the same time, Judge Brown
called a hearing at 10 am. next
Tuesday at the courthouse. He said
the hearing is to determine legal
ity of the petition.
'"The hearing will not be an
open forum for or against the
county manager form Of govern
ment," Judge Brown said. "It
will be held solely to determine if
the petition is in order-if all
signers are qualified voters"
Not Required by Law.
He said the law does not re-
quire that a hearing be held.
However, he added. it provides a
method of finding out If those
who signed the document are
legally entitled to do so.
Any person who has evidence
will be allowed to question any
name on the petition, he said.
The petition asking for a ref
erendum on the county manager
plan of government was filed with
the court last May S. Backed by
various county organizations, in
cluding the League of Women
Voters and the Civic Federation,
it contains more than 1000 sig
natures.
10 Per Cent of Voters.
The law requires that a petit
ton for a change in government
contain the signatures of 10 per
cent of the qualified voters of the
county. The petition thus car
ries more than 500 excess names,
since the number of voters in the
county has been placed at $4,000.
Meanwhile, a report being pre-
pared by a government study
commission. appointed by the
Board of Supervisors, is expected
to be published on September 10.
This commission, a non partisan
group, was requested to study all
forms of reform measures open
to the county.
1t is possible the board may
ask the court to include one of the
other reform government plans
on the ballot.
