lection of the labor law. The five
member board over-ruled him.
Differences of Interpretation of
the labor law have multiplied
since. One of the biggest con-
cerned the scope of the law,
how far the Federal Government
should go in regulating the labor
relations of small and localized
business. Mr.. Denham has held
that the law should be applied
broadly.
The board charged that the
activities of Mr.. Denham were
making nearly impossible the ad-
miniStration of the law. They said
he was continually processing
cases of a type which the board
had tossed out and that he
ignored generally their precedent
setting rulings. In some cases Mr..
Denham insisted on making his
contrary views known in Federal
courts when board rulings with
which he did not agree were
appealed.
Mr.. Denham's dismissal had
been expected for a long time.
In recent weeks administration
advisers had debated the timing
of the custer. Some felt the Presi-
dent should wait until Congress
adjourned which earlier had been
expected yesterday.
NLRB Chairman Paul M. Her

board against the general coun-
sci. 1t was said that he agreed
in July to accept a new five-year

Compulsory Auto
inspection Thought
Ahead Issue Now

Leaders at the z:aryland Assem-
bly, are predicting that compulsory
automobile inspection is a dead
issue for this session.
Hints that vigorous opposition
would force inspection proponents
to retreat once again crystallized
last week in two resolutions drawn
up by Senate President Byrnes
d., Balto., 5th) introduced and
Speaker Sybert d., Howard) and
House Majority Leader Humphrey
d., Prince Georges. Each would
ask Governor Lane to name COM
mission ito investigate and study
the matter of the inspection of
motor vehicles"
Byrnes said his resolution was
prepared to keep the subject alive
in case a current bill to require
inspections does not pass. He
minated doubts that the bill
would get much further than the
House Ways and Means Commit,
tee, where it now rests uncom.

Anti-FreeZe Or
Ocean BreeZes?

Complaints have been re-
ceived in the Sentinel Office
recently about the beautiful
town clock located in front Of
the Farmers Bank near the in
tersection Of Montgomery Ave
nue. and Washington Street, not
operating.
On checking with the office Of
the Town clerk, It was found
that this clock is a temper
mental one and does not care
for the winter weather Of the
county. No trouble is expert
enced in the summer time and
accurate time is then kept upon
the dial. However when the
northern breezes blow and sun
is further away from the earth,
the clock, wishing like many Of
us, for the good old summer
time" stubbornly refuses to run.

The past weekend was a busy one
for the Gaithersburg- Washington
Grove Fire Department. On Fri
day morning a seven room log
house on the Stringtown road
burned to the ground before Hy-
attstown, with the assistance of
Gaithersburg firemen, could make
any Roadway in putting it out. The
age of the house and the fact that
it was quite a distance from COM
munication hampered the firemen.
Martha Foreman who lived in the
house with her daughter received
third degree burns in trying to
save some of her possessions. The
house was total loss and carried
no insurance. The same evening
the Gaithersburg men were re-
called to the spot as house close

Keepsake Found!
Sentinel AID,
Pays OFF

In December Mrs. Mae Brake
of Washington Grove advertised
in the Sentinel Lost and Found
column for gold coin she lost
in the town of Gaithersburg on
December 16. The coin, while
originally a five dollar gold
piece, had been engraved with
the initials of Mrs. Brakes
grandparents and the golden
wedding date of the couple.
While of small value, due to the
engraving, the coin meant a
great deal to the owner, since
both her parents and grandpar-
ents are dead.
Last week, 10y Smith, mer-
chant of Norteck, was making
change for Peter Hayes, an en-
ployee of Slaybaugh and Reck,
Washington Grove Ice Cream
dealers. Noticing the coin in
Mr.. Hayes hand, Mr.. Smith
asked to examine it and recalled
reading the ad in the Sentinel
with reference to the coin. Mr..
Smith then got in touch with
Mrs. Brake.
Mr.. Hayes said that he pick
up the coin on TIE street in
Gaithersburg just before Christ
mas and had questioned one or
two people before dropping it
into his pocket as a lucky piece.
Mr.. Hayes explained he didn't
often have time for reading
newspapers. He was glad to be
able to return the coin to it's
rightful owner.
Calling the Sentinel this week,
Mrs. Brake happy in the return
of her property, explained she
owed the recovery of her coin to
the use of TIE Sentinel adver-
Using column and she feels she
would never have discovered the
coin without its aid.

Restaurant Owner
Pleads For Food
Tax Abatement

The owner of Normandy FxfiAs
near Potomac is among proponents
of two identical Assembly bills
which would lift the 2 percent sales
tax from all food for human con-
sumption. Hearings on the meas
ures were held this week at An
napolis.
Existing Maryland law calls for
the tax on any food costing more
than IA cents which is eaten in
restaurants. Food to take out is
not taxed.
Miss Marjorie Hendricks, oper-
ator of Normandy Farms, told the
legislators she had received Sin
Vulnerable complaints" from resi-
dents of other states and the Dis
trict over the tax. Robert A. Will
son, executive vice president of the
Washington Restaurant Associa-
ton, said tourists with large fami-
lies will "eat elsewhere" rather
than pay the Maryland sales tax
on food.
The Maryland State comptrol-
ler's office has estimated the sales
tax on food accounts for $3,500,00C
annually. But Reginald Dunnock
president of the Oriole Cafeterias
in Baltimore, said estimates were
nearer two million dollars.
Governor Lane, in a press con-
ference at the same time, dashed
cold water on the whole proposal
"The budget does not contemplate
any reduction in the sales tax" he
said.
