Smith Advises
Court Action In
Election Mix-up

Following a resolution by the
County Council on Saturday, d.
rected to Ward Caddington, clerk
to the Board of Election Super
visors, asking that steps be taken
to clear up the confusion regarding
the September Primary Election,
]. Bond Smith, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee, issued the following state
ment:
"The Democratic State Central
Committee approves prompt, APP
propriate action to determine
whether candidates for the County
Council will run in the September
Maryland primaries with or with
out party designation. State law
requires the former; the Councils
local law requires the latter.
"a ruling by the Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors, however, as re-
quested by the Council, would not
be decisive. Nothing short of a
decision by the Court of Appeals
of Maryland would be final.
Several weeks ago 1 recon-
mended that this Committee for
mally request the Board Of Election
supervisors to institute an appro-
pirate Court proceeding to secure
such judicial determination. This
action will be considered at the
next meeting of the Committee.
"The Committee favors an early
final determination of the question
in the public interest"

DR.. Christian Larsen, nead OF tne
Bureau of Public Administration at
the University of Maryland, ex-
planned how the writers of the
present Constitution had provided
that every twenty years the people
be allowed to vote on whether they
wished a constitutional convention
called to review the Constitution.
In 1880 the majority of the people
voting on this question on the bal
lot were in favor of calling a con-
vention, but because they were not
majority of all those voting in the
election, it was interpreted to mean
that no convention need be called.
DR.. Larsen pointed out that the re-
suits of the voting this fall, when
that same question will be on the
ballot again, could be interpreted
the same way and thus an all out
effort should be made to get ma
jority of those voting in the cleo
ton to vote favorably on this ques-
tion and not just skip it as SO many
voters did in 1880. DIR. Larsen
spoke of several flaws in the con-
stitution but said that there were
parts that we're good and should
not be touched. A constitutional
convention, he continued would be
a healthy thing even if = at worst
= it accomplished nothing because
it would focus the peoples atten-
ton on their government.
Mrs. Ralph Himstead, member Of
the County Council, said the Con-
stitution should be revised to sirnp-
lily the achieving of home rule for
Counties.
Mrs. Himstead also felt that

Plans for the new high school
to be built in Gaithersburg has
brought to mind the preparation
needed when the original brick
structure now in use was only a
hope in the hearts of the citizens.
Previous to 1904 the only public
school in Gaithersburg was located
on part of the tract known as
Valentine Gardens, facing what
is now highway 240. This was for
grammar school pupils only, with
those desiring further education
attending the old high school in
Rockville.
The old school sat on the back

sells farm implements. This school

port:
''The Government of Israel OPP
poses and condemns aggression
wherever it may occur and from
whatever quarter it may eman-
ate. In fulfillment of her obliga-
tons under the Charter, Israel
supports the Security Council in
its efforts to put an end to the
breach of the peace in Korea and
to restore peace in that area. The
Government of Israel hopes the
United Nations will continue it's
endeavors to align all the Great
Powers in common effort for
safeguarding the peace of the
world"

inglY upheld the Cabinets &C

followed the defeat by 70 votes

In presenting the Governments
resolution to the KneSSet, For
eign Minister Moshe Sharett en-
phasized that Israel has always
maintained policy of non-iden-
LITIGATION with either bloc in the
cold war. However, preserva-
ton of peace is the cardinal prin-
ciple of Israels foreign policy
and it has supported the United
Nations as the main instrument
for the realization of this aim.
Mr.. Sharett stressed that the
principle of standardization
still stands. But it Cannot be
perverted into Reputation of
world peace. nor can it serve as
pretext for running away from
responsibility towards the United
Nations. nor can it be turned in
to a weapon which instead of
preserving peace. might well af-
feet the security of Israel itself"
The Foreign Minister said that
the Government was well aware
of the fact that the Security
Council had taken its decision on
Korea in the absence of one of
its permanent members. The
USSR's absence from the Secur-
ity Council and its withdrawal
from other UN organs was
matter of profound regret to
the Government of Israel, giving
rise to grave concern for the flu
ture," he declared. Israel had
supported Secretary General Try
give Lies efforts to bring the So
Wet bloc into the UN. At the
same time, 1sraers Delegation to
the UN had done all it could to
preserve and strengthen rela-
lions of friendship and mutual
