Shall We Veto Library
Bill? Council Would
Like To Know -

Continued from Page I
of trustees of the Rockville Free
Library said his group felt the bill
not flexible enough - without
being SNUG = he realized the Ii
brary's short comings, but saw
growth under the present system
of town assistance, which is $4,000.
Mayor Lamar Kelly, jrs said
he was present to fight the double
taxation the bill would carry. The
bill is discriminatory and carries
no assurance as to cost, he pointed
out.
Guy Jewell, a member Of the
Advisory Committee said up-coun-
ty always fought any proposed
improvement, a good biIl', he
said, and made a plea against its
veto.
Speaking as a representative of
the Gaithersburg Free Library,
Mrs. James Schroeder stated 1--WE
approve the theory of the bill and
feel that a central library should
eventually come, but as conditions
now exists, we do not approve"
The trustees would like a bill giving
a equal representation from each
library-and leaving appointment
of librarians up to it's local board,
regardless of qualifications set up
by the Council"
Uric Hutton, also a member of
the Library Advisory Committee,
drew !, down the wrath of cup
county" by saying the farmers GER
tainly need education. (He later
explained to the Sentinel that he
meant they needed books on sci
entific farming.)
Mrs. Mollie Waters Christie, of
the Gaithersburg area, arose to say
she was tired of attending meetings
where helping "up-county" was
used by certain groups to cloak
their own desires. "Most of us
can read-many of US wear shoes"
stated the highly educated member
of an old County family.
Injecting bit of politics,
Charles H. Squires of Bethesda,
one of the Orphans Court Judges
told the Council, it was apparent
something was wrong with the
bill, or there would not be too much
widespread objection-he advised
the veto-"political suicide" if you
do not, he warned.
Others, including Mrs. Dorothy
Himstead, who introduced the bill,
explained the bill merely sets up
machinery for the establishing of
a county library system, therefore
was left flexible.
President Lee commented the
County had been given other serv-
ices without an increase in the tax
rate and he did not think the pro-
posed Library system would "break
the Cancels back"
Members of the Advisory Com
mittee upon whose recommends
tions the bill was based, are Mrs.
T. B. Dorsett, Ralph Remley, Da-
vid Stowe, Thomas S. Jackson,
Stephen Tuhy, Mrs. Donald Bliss,
John Cheney, Uric Hutton, Guy
Jewell, Mrs. George A.. Nicholson
and Mrs. Robert Ladd.

Association Is Formed
To Get Street Lights

Italian Reds Deny
Custer Of TogIiatti
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Nov. 1.-L'Unita, the
Italian Communist newspaper, to-
day angrily said Interior Minister
Mario Scelba ordered fabrication
of false reports of British and
American secret agents" that Mos
cow ouSted Palmiro Togliatti,
party chieftain.
The reports, recently hammered
in a Rome newspaper. said that
four Moscow agents had secretly
visited party headquarters with
the Moscow orders.
Togliatti, who suddenly entered
a clinic here three days ago. was
operated on last night for re-
moval of a blood clot on the brain.
Surgeons said the operation was
a success.
Almost unanimously, Rome
newspapers, for one reason or an
other have connected the Com
munist leaders illness with re-
ports of his dismissal by the
Kremlin.
Some said the condition of
Togliatti's health provided Mos
cow with a good opportunity to
ease him from power in Italy.
Togliatti, 81, suffered a severe
spine injury in an auto accident
last August.

The CLERGY SPEAKS

Today it seems that the world
is divided into two groups which
have separate opinions as to what
the clergy ought to say. One group
in the world is concerned with
riding pet ideas & supplies many
things for the clergy to say for
them. Ministers are urged to come
out and speak in favor or against
many ideas of the day. Some men
do that. The other group in the
world seems to think that the
Church is so seperate that the
clergy should do nothing but
spout pious platitudes which
ought to be ignored by modern
minded men" Some do just that.
In spite of both these groups &
their influence upon the clergy
there ire men in the world today
who are still paving heed only to
Christ and His plan for them. The
clergy speaks and through its
many voices it does one thing and.
one thing only-It points the
world to the cross and says, BE
hold how God loves the world"
That is all the clergy is going to
say until the whole world can say:
II am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless / live; yet not /, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh, +
live by the faith Of the Son Of God.

for me-" Gal 2:20A

CHILDREN or vi.

TX V1ses
Continentals were doing a fine &
noble thing for the underprivilged
children Of the Virgin Islands,
what about the children a little
closer to home like, for instance,
the kids Of Harlem or those in the
acknowledgement section, would
it have been well attended and
with the same amount Of enthusi-
asm they asked.
TO the above Mr.. Bough replied:
7 think it is a bit selfish for any
one to feel that way about it. It is
a wonderful gesture on the part of
the members Of the Continental
Society to take so great an inter-
est in the underprivileged chill
dren of the Islands.
Because there are fifteen hum
dred miles of sea between til Vir-
gin Islands and tn mainland, there
is no reason for anyone to feel
that the children there are eutsid-
ers. They are not. We are all
Americans.
''The children or the people
there are not exposed to the same
amount Of opportunities as here
and other large cities. The chill
dren here have greater opportuni-
ties to provide 70 rthem.
Therefore, it is my belief that
it would be selfish for anyone to
feel that it is wrong for the ladies
of the Society to help the children
there who cannot be helped other
wise.
Many Of us contribute to the
aid Of children in other countries,
why can't we help our own?"
