The LocoI Issues
Montgomery Contest Drawn
Strictly Along Party Lines

Political issues are drawn strict
ly along party lines in Montgomery
County this year.
The question to be decided by
voters Tuesday is simply which of
the two major parties they prefer
in control Thus, Montgomery
differs from the neighboring COM
munities in which the major con-
tests concern forms of government,
the issuance of bonds and the
methods of filling high local
offices.
Voter registrations show Demo-
Gratis far outnumber Republicans
in Montgomery-38.00O to 1900.
Yet the Republican Party is the
party now in control. All seven
members of the county's legis-
lative delegation belong to the
COP. So do four of the seven
county councilmen.
Republicans hold every elective
county office except in cases of
the Circuit Court judges, Circuit
Court clerk, the sheriff and sur
veyor.
This year the Democrats have
made concerted effort to regain
power. They stimulated party in
terest through the election of
precinct officials. They formed the
Democratic Victory Committee, +"
which has conducted a long range
build-up campaign.
The Democrats announced they
will work in the interest of the
Charter form of government
which many party leaders fought.
The system was approved by a
majority of voters in a referen-
dunn, party spokesmen say; now
that Charter is the will of the
people. they will operate the
county under it.
Lee Called Real Leader.
Democratic leaders are bitter
about the role being played by
most influential members of the
Charter Committee. The Charter
group gained control of the first
County Council two years ago,
The councilmen were elected on a
non-partisan basis; three of them
were registered Republicans and
four were Democrats. One Demo-

crat resigned and the remainder
of the council filed his place by
appointing a Republican.
Spokesman for the Charter
Committee and the Republican
Party contend the home rule
system under charter would be
scuttled if the Democratic organ
ization gains control. They say
the real Democratic leader in
Montgomery still is E. Brooke Lee
with whom they have clashed
repeatedly.
To attain greater degree of
home rule. the Charterites and
Republicans propose to relieve the
Governor of Maryland OF the
right to appoint members OF sew
eral important agencies. and to
vest the power in the hands of
locally elected officials. Thus.
they would have the County
Council appoint the Montgomery
County Liquor Control Board.
They want the council and the
Prince Georges County commits
sioners to name members of two
bi-county agencies, the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion and the Maryland National
Capital Parks and Planning Com
mission.
Contest for Almost Every Office.
In Tuesdays election there is
a contest between Democrats and
Republicans for almost every elec-
tive county Office: State Senator
six members of the House of Dele
gates. six councilmen, register
OF wills, three judges of the Or
phans' Court, States attorney
clerk of Circuit Court, sheriff and
county surveyor. One judge of
Circuit Court, Charles w. Wood
ward. Democrat, is unopposed for
reelection.
In addition, Montgomery voters
will be concerned with the elec-
tion Of Governor. United States
Senator, member of the House
from the 9Th District, State con-
troller and State attorney gen.
eral. A referendum also will be
conducted on eight proposed
amendments to the Maryland
constitution.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP)-
Mardi Gras, the one outstanding
attraction in America observed
annually here, is going to lose
some of it's luster this year, and
all because of the proverbial Ne
gro and the mule.
You see, things aren't what they
used to be and the old order is
being tasty supplanted by the
new. Time was when mule-drawn
floats were the order of theday.
The maskers had no choice. So,
that obstinate member of the equ-
mus tribe, now. finds itself re-
placed by the jeep, which means
mechanical automotion from now
on.
With the passing of the mules,
likewise passes his Negro leader,
who led the obstinate beast in
each and every one of the carni-
val parades. Four mules to a
float, and a red or white gowned
Negro for each mule formed a

It is certain that Secretary

fair-minded person can blame
Britain or France for the meager-
ness Of their assistance. They
just do not have the men.
Concensus of Military.
The consensus of military men
in this country, as well as in Brit
ain and France, is that we may be
faced with a Russian-sponsored
aggression in some places in Eu-
rope and particularly in Germany,
while we are still deeply involved
in the war in Asia. BY their own
admission the governments of the
Atlantic pact nations cannot sup
ply any worthwhile force.
We have assumed full respon-
sibility for providing the Atlantic
Pact nations with some 80 per cent
OF their equipment. Because of the
severe threat to our national exist
ence the American taxpayer will
shoulder this and other burdens
cheerfully.
We have undertaken to provide
the bulk of the air force for Eu-
rope and we have pledged our
selves eventually to send between
five and 10 divisions to that area.
But we cannot produce those
troops like rabbits out of a hat.
And since neither Britain nor
France have the ability to provide
a worthwhile increase in their
military establishments, it is only
logical that we should try to get
them from countries which are
by Russia and willing to
defend themselves:
The manpower Of the Atlantic
Pact nations is very limited. But
Western Europe can provide at
least one million men if the po-
litical and theological obstacles to
their rearmament are removed.
Two countries-Western Germany
and Spain - have such essential
additional manpower.
Any temporization can be fatal.
We may be faced with a European
Korea" almost any time in the
next IL months. And the United
States. regardless of what Mr..
Bevin thinks, is not able to provide
all the money, equipment, and
naval. air and ground forces for
the defense of Europe and Asia.
