AS to methods of representation.
the other difference between the
manager and executive plans, the
report holds that under the man

by all voters in the county, gov

stead of by districts.
The executive plan provides that
supervisors be elected as they are
now, one by the voters OF each of
the six magisterial districts.

Adoption of the manager plan.

time, to fix the blame for any

vote for or against government

that voters who are dissatisfied
with the present form should have
no trouble in answering the first
question.
For the resident who objects
to costly inefficiency, and who
finds the inequitable representa-
ton provided by district elections
repugnant to democratic ideals,
we wholeheartedly recommend the

rebuke to the County Council ane

didates insofar as they conflict
with the straight Democratic
ticket.
His announcement was greeted
with cheers and applause at a
Democratic rally and ox-roast at
Damascus. An estimated 1900
persons also heard Gov. Lane and
Senator Tydings speak.
But it was Mr.. Warfield's speech
that provided the highlight OF
the day. His statement meant he
would support only Mrs. Stella
Werner and Grover Walker, both
Charter Committee-ind indorsed can
didates who are Democrats. The
committee also has indorsed all
six Republican Council candidates.
Opposes "Too Much Reform"
II do not approve of the Char
ter Committees idea of indorsing
candidates of both parties" Mr..
Warfleld said. THE result of such
a policy is the foolish spectacle
that we now have in the 4th Coun-

Democrat, Endorsed by the Charter
Committee, running against Mr.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 28.-Gov,
Lane soon may receive an open
Endorsement from George P. Ma
honey, his primary opponent, as
a result of the Governors recent
re-establishment of ties with the
William Curran city organization.
At any rate. the reunion is
being pushed by the Lane lead
ers for everything it's worth.
Mr.. Curran, who had strongly
supported Mr.. Mahoney against
Mr.. Lane in the September IS
primary. was in conference today
with William Bishop, one of Mr..
Lanes managers. at the Demo-
cratic headquarters here. He re-
fused to see reporters.
Gov. Lane had been scheduled
to attend a Montgomery County
rally at Damascus along with
Senator Tydings and other candi-
dates at 2::30 pm. Instead, he
arrived an hour and a half late
after the crowd had dispersed
with the apology: II had to at
tend a conference, the details of
which I am not at liberty to dis
close"
Not Available for Comment.
1t is not known whether the
Governor actually met Mr.. Ma
honey but it is known that Mr..
Mahcney had tried to reach the
Governor earlier today.
Mr.. Mahoney was not available
Tor comment. He had refused
comment the night before on a
report that his mailing list of
10000 and some of his pre- primary
campaign files had fallen into the
hands of Theodore r. McKeldin,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor.

Mr.. Mahoney polled 191, 900
votes to 174,000 for Gov. Lane in
the primary but the latter won by
virtue Of the unit system used in
convention nominations.
Mr.. McKeldins chief hopes of
victory have been pinned on the
"anti-Lane" and Mahoney sup
port factions in the Democratic
Party. There are only about 245,-
900 Republicans registered in
Maryland as compared with about
625,000 Democrats.
The Governor and Mr.. Mahoney
have met publicly twice since the
primary. Once was at the Demo-
cratic nominating convention and
the last time was Thursday at the
United Democratic Women's Clubs
meeting here. At the last meet
ing. they shook hands.
MIR. McKeldin's headquarters
here. meanwhile, announced he
would give more sales tax exemp-
tions than he already has prom

was touring Caroline County to-
day and appeared at a rally at
ESton tonight. Tomorrow, he is
scheduled to make a non political
talk at the Calvary Methodist
Church in Easton.
Both Promise Changes.
Mr.. McKeldin and Mr.. Lane al
ready had promised to raise the
sales tax exemption from IA to so
cents and to remove the tax from
food, medicines, household rene
dies and items for baby care.
"On the basis of available in

Steaks A Natural
For Dads Day

Good food and plenty of it.
This is a simple way to the heart
of most dads on June 18. Of
course, the success of the meal
depends upon the choice of meat.
And just naturally the perfect
choice in many homes is thick,
juicy broiled steak.
When purchasing steak it's wise
to first decide on the number of
servings desired. Keep in mind
that the thicker the steak the
more servings (always choose at
least a 1-inch steak for broiling)
For example, 1-inch club steak
will serve l or 2; pinch, 2or 3.
A 1-inch porterhouse will give l
or 2 servings; 2-inch, 2 to A. A
1-inch sirloin 3 to 6 servings; 2
inch, 6 to IL.
The secret of thai perfectly
broiled steak that dad dreams
about is slow cooking. The proper
method is as follows: place the
steak on the broiler rack so that
the top surface is 2 to 3 inches
from the heat-the thicker the
farther from the heat. When one
side is Drowned, season, turn and
finish cooking on the second side.
Season and serve hot. Broil a l.
inch club steak Is to 20 minutes
according to doneness dad desir-
es.); Pinch steak, 35 to As min
utes. Add 5 minutes to the above
cooking time for porterhouse or
sirloin steak.
With fathers special dinner con-
centrated on steak your accom-
paniments are easily prepared.
French fried onion rings are grand
with steak. Simply slice onions
" inch thick and let them stand
In f.1ilk for about 30 minutes. Dip
IN seasoned flour and fry in deep
hot lard until golden brown. In
clude in the menu creamed new
potatoes, buttered fresh asparagus
and tossed vegetable salad. Des-
sert will be dads favorite which
IN many instances turns out to
be apple pie topped with a wedge
Of cheese.

furnished py the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Even the loading of box
cars for railroad shipment is to
be speeded-up and box cars may be
filled in 40 minutes for outgoing
shipments.
The design for this modern
system for handling and storing
grain has been developed by the
Marietta company, the countrys
largest producer of concrete silos,
storage tanks and industrial bins.
In its construction, the new Mar
ietta lightweight aggregate Air
Cell Stave will be used. This un-
ique construction method permits
greater structural strength and its
hollow wall design eliminates
sweating to provide "bone-dry"
grain storage. The wind and fire
proof features of this type of con-
struction will also lower insurance
rates and effects a savings which
is passed on to the elevators Gust
omers. All grain handling and dry
ing equipment for the new storage
system is being furnished by the

ing as well as the electrical con-
struction and machinery INSTALL
ations on this project will be done

of the construction.
