Tending an airport near Seoul on
the day he landed in Korea.

I was back in Tokyo the same

Thomas he telephoned his moth

Hudson, N. Y: I'm back now"
His mother wanted to know
about the leg, and so did the
other members of the family. She
asked also about Thomas broth
er, Sergt. Antonio Merante, 20,
who now is in Japan.
The conversation was sort of
anti climactic, because Thomas
had telephoned his mother a few
days ago from Hawaii, where his
Military Air Transport Service
evacuation plane had paused.
She really was worried then,
knowing through his cable and
letter that he was wounded and
coming home. But the dark
haired young soldier had reas-
sured her, and promised to call
home on his arrival here.
The youth found it hard to
smile. War can make anybody
grim. and it was on Thomas
mind. Q szssa Ezaa IL - ssss %

SpokeSmen for the Democratic
and Republican Parties of Prince
Georges County argued to a
standstill last night over merits
of the commissioner and county
manager form of government.
The issue. a major one in the
county's 1850 election campaign,
was debated by two representa-
tives from each party under spon-
sorship of the Citizens Commit
tee for Good Government.
The debate, held at the Uni
versity of Maryland, was the first
of series of public forums to be
given by the committee this year.
More than $50 persons attended,
including candidates from both
parties.
John F. Lillard, jr., Hyattsville
attorney, Republican candidate
for the House of Delegates, de-
scribed his party's stand as "rela-
lively simple"-one advocating a
manager system of administration
completely divorced" from policy
making groups; repeal of the
Sothoron law, and an independent
survey of the county government.
Jerrold V. Powers, attorney to
the county commissioners, argued
in favor of the commissioner form
of government and said his party

port Treasurer James B. Bland

Women Voters AttacI
.Lisf OF Questions on
Fairfax Government

A QUESTIONABLE sent by a COM
mission studying local govern
ment to Fairfax County organi-
cations has been attacked by the
League of Women Voters.
The league replied yesterday to
most of the SIS questions, but pro-
tested that many of them are
loosely stated, call for opinions
rather than facts, and seem to
direct the answers to an anti
county manager point of view"
The commission was appointed
by the Board of Supervisors to
make the study after a petition
had been filed asking that refer
endum be held on adoption of a
county manager plan.
The QUESTIONABLE also has
drawn opposition from the Fair
fax County Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations. This group
termed the queries loaded against
the manager plan"
Hearing Set Tomorrow.
The women voters are slated to
present their views to the COM
mission at hearing at 8 pm
tomorrow in the Fairfax Circuit
Court.
Also to be heard are Common
wealth's Attorney Hugh B. Marsh,
Sheriff John E. Taylor and Police
Chief Carl R. Mcintosh.
The commission plans to make
its report to the supervisors Sep
tember Is. 1t is expected that
a referendum will be held on
the manager plan at the Novem-
ber general election.
The league asserted yesterday
that many of the questions sub
mitted were "repetitious. 1t also
maintained that some of the
questions request information ir-
relevant to the issue at hand"
Present Setup Assailed.
The county's present form of
government, said the league, "is
so inadequate that time spent in
piecemeal attempts to patch it
would be an utter waste"
The organization declared the
voters "are entitled to a clear-cut
decision on this issue. The in
clusion of a number of other
choices could serve only to con-
fuse the voters"
Advantages of the county man
ager plan cited in the leagues re-
ply include complete separation
of policy-making and administra-
tive functions; acceptable COM
promise between election of su-
pervisors by districts and at large
and administrative responsibility
fixed at one point"

Leaders Hope to Limit
Action to Changes
In Election Lows
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, July 27.-The
General Assembly opened its spe-
cial session today with admin
istration leaders intent on limit
ing action to the election law
changes for which the Legislature
was summoned.
The administration, however.
can only discourage. not prevent.
introduction of bills not on its
program and a few were bound
to make their appearance.
Gov. Lane had only three meas.
ures to offer:
To move the primary election
date from September II to Sep
tember 18 and allow an extra day
for registration of Baltimore
voters. ...
To allow for absentee voting by
persons in the armed forces, to
be effective in the November gen.
eral election and not for the pri-
mary.
&VuA VII 6pCCkd1 INkCCb1uSs
The routine $4,000 appropria-
tion bill to pay for the session.
the fourth special meeting in as
many years.
The lawmakers met in a heavy
political atmosphere. A torrid
primary election race has Gov.
Lane pitted against George p.
Mahoney, the gubernatorial aspir-
ant who has some supporters in
the Assembly. particularly the
Baltimore city delegation.
Moves to embarrass the admin.
istratior were considered possible.
although Lane supporters were
confident of keeping the situa-
tion under control. They hoped
for adjournment by tonight.
Republican and Democratic
caucuses met before the noon
opening of the session, and the
usual officials were renamed as q
matter of routine.
Lane Sees Leaders.
Senator Joseph r. Byrnes, DEM
ocrat. of Baltimore, was back as
president Of the Senate, and dele
gate c. Ferdinand Sybert. Dem
ocrat, of Howard County as House
speaker e.
Senator Robert Kimble, Repub-
lican. of Allegany County and
Delegate Jacob Ramsburg. Repub-
lican, of Frederick were the
minority leaders in the Senate and
House. respectively.
The Governor conferred with
his legislative leaders in the morn
ing and later sent his message
to Senate and House.
Reason for changing the pri-
Imarysdate was that September II
falls 6f1 the eve of the Jewish new
year. That holiday would prevent
many persons from acting as e1ec-
ton officials.
isA Another reason for the post.
1ponement is that the recent one
day registration in Baltimore City
did not allow enough time for get
| ing all voters names on the books.
Among measures their authors
iplanned to introduce were two by
delegate Horace Whitworth, Re-
publican, of Allegany County
aimed at outlawing the Commu-
mist Party in Maryland.

of Baltimore last week spoke Of
