Court Ruling Is Urged
On Non-partisan Vote
For County Council

The courts should be asked ina
mediately to decide whether
Montgomery County is to have
partisan or nonpartisan elections
for the County Council, a Demo-
cratic leader said today.
j. Bond Smith. chairman of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee for Montgomery, declared
the Board of Election Supervisors
should institute the proceedings.
The present council on Satur-
day urged the election supervisors
to state whether they would honor
nonpartisan petitions of candi-
date under county law, or honor
the petitions of party candidates
under a State law.
Suit Might Be Filed.
Mr.. Smith said a ruling" by
the election supervisors would not
be decisive.
"Nohting short of decision
by the Court OF Appeals of Mary
land would be final" he declared
in a statement.
Some persons interpreted the
councils request as the starting
point for the legal test. If the
board ruled on the matter, it
was assumed that suit would
be filed by citizens on the losing
side of the issue.
Cites Recommendation.
Mr.. Smith said:
Several weeks ago I recon-
mended that this (Democratic)
Committee formally request the
Board of Election Supervisors to
institute an appropriate court
proceeding to secure a judicial
determination. This action will
be considered at the next meet
ing of the committee.

determination of the question in

vouch for that. The only thing

pick up an extra $50 year in

Movie Attendance Down.
The plight of the East Ruther-
ford ON. j. movie owner who
asked the borough council for
permission to oGen burlesque to
meet the competition finds no
counterpart in Washington.
There has been a Nationwide
drop in theater attendance, ex-
planned Julian Brylawski, of
Warner Brothers theaters here,
land the decrease has been much
less in towns which have no tele-
vision. but I don't think it offers
real competition with the pro-
grams they're putting on now.
People buy new sets and stay
home to watch, or they stay away
from movies to help pay for the
television. 1t is a good induce
ment to stay home-particularly in
bad weather-in fact I may do
that myself"
A doctor who is also a member
of the School Board gave the
situation a double view from
those aspects. Said he:
Medically, I understand that
television is not harmful to the
eyes. AS for education, I think
it is q bad thing.

# For Better for Worse TeIevision Chunqinq Social

1eleV1Slon, which has made
more changes in family life than

the washing machine in Wash

1t is drawstring pulling the
family back around the hearth
or it is latchstring the neighbor
kids can't resist. 1t is the greatest
enemy of conversation since
bridge or one of the outstanding
contributions of the century to
family solidarity.
1t has made a roller derby and

pressed here by experts in their

homes, clubs and taverns. The
total is made up from the 16,465

of last year.
Radios did only 1853 for most
of 1949 and washing machines

Convinced it's here to stay-for

up today.

Of the programs. We have a num-
ber of sets in our hospital and the
patients seem to enjoy it, how
ever.
Keeps People at Home.
1T undoubtedly is keeping peo-
pie at home more, but I'm sure
it doesn't contribute to sociability
because it's almost as much of an
enemy of conversation as bridge.
For instance, you have a tele-
vision set and invite the neighbors
in. They rush in, say good eve
ming and sit down. You turn off
the lights, turn on the set and
no one says anything until the
shows over. Then they get up
and go home"
It has one favorable aspect, he
added. 1T keeps out differences.
Those observations fall on the
deaf ears of a prominent social
worker, who went so far in his
plaudits as to repeat the conversa-
tion of an equally prominent ma
tron who likes television at home
if only because it keeps her two
sons out of the neighborhood
tavern-which also has one.
Definitely, television has a salu-
tary effect. From the standpoint
of promoting the home life and
family solidarity, I'd even go so
far as to say it is one of the out
standing contributions of this
century
He ventured, with a cautious
and qualifying laugh, that televi-
sion might be driving some moth
ers and fathers crazy" but he
pleaded for team work" which
can make marriages slick-not
SICK. "I know of a woman whose
husband and two sons have be-
come television sports fans. Does
Ma get a chance to see cooking
demonstrations and style shows?
She does not!
In such cases, team work and
consideration is necessary" he i'm
plored.

A District judge, who probably
sees more divorce action than a
private eye, doesn't consider tele-
vision old enough to wreak marital
havoc. but, he added. good, high

Bv Maj. Thomas IA. Mol

Nearly every one is reserve
conscious" since the Korean War
began. Today I'll explain the
armed forces Civilian conpo-
nents,". which include not only
the Reserves but the National
Guard. Don't confuse the two.
And don't ever refer to a National
guardsman as a reservist. That's
like calling a Marine a soldier.
Each State has its own National
Guard, both Army and Air. Some
date back to when the States were
independent colonies and had mi
litia. Today the States only pro-
vide the personnel and armory
space. The Federal Government
provides the uniforms, equip
ment, training and pay.
The Governors can call out the
Guard when emergencies. like
floods or violent strikes, crop up
within the States. The Federal
Government can ''federalize" the
Guard and call it to active duty
in time of war or national emer-
gency or when Congress author
ICES it, as Congress did just after
the Korean war began. The en-
tire Guard has not yet been called
up because the Army did not want
to disrupt the national economy
by drawing all guardsmen out of
civilian jobs right away.
The Reserves themselves have
no connection with the States.
They come under the Federal
Government itself, and their or
ganization follows the same pat
tern in all the services. They are
broken down, first of all, into
the active and inactive Reserves.
The active Reserves are so called
because they take part in Reserve
activity, either drills, training
duty or correspondence courses.
The two subdivisions of the active
Reserve are the organized and the
volunteer Reserve. What's the diff
ference?
Well, the Organized Reserve
Corps has units throughout the
country. takes part in regularly
scheduled drills during the year
and goes on training duty for Is
days once a year. It's members
build up longevity, as do members
Of all the Reserves, active and in
active. Take a reservist who en-
tered service in 1912, was sep
arated from active duty in 1916
and has been in the Reserves
since. If he went back on active
duty today, he'd draw pay for
serviceman with not four, but
eight years total service.
Organized reservists also can
work towards promotion, build up
reserve retirement credits and
very important-draw pay for
drill and training.
The volunteer Reserve, gener-
ally speaking, is not quite so &C.
tive. Its members take part in
drill and training more at their
own convenience. and they do not
get paid for it. They can. how
ever, work towards promotion and
retirement credit, and they do
build up longevity.
To remain in the active reserve,
organized or volunteer, you must
earn IL Reserve points a year.
Each point corresponds very
roughly to days duty. One
nights drill gets you one point,
a 15-day cruise with the Naval
Reserve Is points, etc. You also
may earn points through CORE
spondence course.
If you earn less than IL points

CANTON, ILL.,, July 29.-My
story concerns all Americans and
every member Of the U. M. w. A.
in particular.
When the Taft Hartley Act be-
came a law, I paid too little at
tention to it. Like millions Of men,
bers of unions. did not read the
bill through as every unionist
should have done.
! Many high union members said
it was a "slave-labor act" and a
large part of the union member
ship of the country, myself in
cluded, accepted the "big bras"
contention. Bitter experience has
revealed to me the basic reason
why the despotic type of union
leader was so anxious to repeal the
Taft Hartley Act.
On March 7, 1850, I was to all
intents and purposes, as union
member and worker, a completely
ruined man. Fined $4,000 by my
local, removed as president by in
famously false charges, worse than
broke after 200 days of three-day
work weeks, memorial holidays
and full-time strike. With a wife
and two children. faced as hope
less future as mas ever plagued
any living person.
had but one out, only one
"Chinaman's chance" to clear my
name from the trumped-up
charges and again be able to work
with a good-standing U. M. w. A.
union card.
Takes His Only Chance.
The National Labor Relations
Board and the unfair labor prac-
tices section of the Taft Hartley
Act constituted my one chance. I
took this chance.
On March Is. a week after my
kangaroo" ousting from my
union, appealed to the NIRB in
Chicago, and the rest Of the story
is written into the records of labor
relations history.
The big Brass" of the United
Mine Workers of America had ap-
parently forgotten the unfair
labor practices section of the Taft
Hartley Act. but they quickly re-
membered it when they learned
that the NLRB officials in Chicago
were investigating.
John L. Lewis and his agents
had ruled the individual miners
