Prince Georges
Citizens Urge
Survey Speedup
Committee Offers
Ideas on Procedure
To Commissioners

The Citizens Committee for
Good Government in Prince
Georges County seeks to speed
action on a proposed county gov
ernment survey by recommending
procedure.
Copies of the committees sug-
gestions were sent last week to
the county commissioners and to
State Senator John Raymond
Fletcher.
The committee spells out how it
thinks the survey firm should be
chosen and what matters the sur
vey should cover, and asks for
concrete recommendations for
government improvements.
The committee specifically asks
that the survey firm recommend
what kind of county government
is best suited to meet the present
and future needs; the relation
ship which should exist between
the county government and ether
governmental units, and an outline
OF the organization and conduct of
management and service functions
in the county government.
Election Platform Recalled.
The commissioners, who favored
a government survey in their
election platform. are asked to
use the following procedure in
selecting survey firm:
l. Prepare an outline of the
desired scope of the survey.
2. Require each prospective
survey firm to submit with its
bid proposal describing the
manner in which it proposes to
conduct the study.
3. Award the contract on the
basis of the bidders professional
competence and the comprehen-
siveness of their proposals, rather
than on the basis of cost alone.
Once selected, the Committee
asks that the surveyors give parti-
CutdI dtteIlLlOn 10.
l. The general economic and
social conditions of the county,
with emphasis on Federal Gov
ernment gfowth and dispersal
plans.
2. The relationship between the
county and other governmental
units that provide service to citi-
ZenS.
General Management.
8. The general management of
county activities. covering admin
istration, fiscal matters, planning.
taxation, property management
and other Government functions.
4. The present quality and
method of providing public serv-
ices.
Recalling last November's cleo
ton, the committee declares that
the Republican Board of County
Commissioners was swept into
office carrying the banner for a
professional county servey."
The committee points to the
election results as proof that "the
voters wanted no more guess
work by befuddled politicians
where astute guidance by trained
public administrators was needed
Changes are needed in the
structure of the Prince Georges
County government. in the ad-
ministration of it's business. and
in its services to taxpayers" the
committee says.
The committee requests that
at least two of it's members be
present when the commissioners
confer with prospective surveyor
firms. 1t further recommends that
committee of 80 to 40 citizens be
selected to disseminate informa-
ton about the survey.

have at least Junior standing.
The Union School in Gothenburg
is approved by the Veterans Adj
ministration for attendance by
veterans under the G. l. Bill.
Some of the special summer fea-
lures at the Union School include
guided trips to local points of in
terest. They will be made as they
fit into the program of studies.
Special tours may be arranged for
weekends or holidays. One even

tunity will be given to observe and
to participate in the work of the
local churches and religious or
CARNATIONS, and to meet with
leaders in the fields of religion,

The goal of the summer session
in Gothenburg is to bring about a
closer working relationship be-
tween institutions of higher edu-
cation under the auspices of the
Methodist Church in the United
States and Scandinavia and to fos-
ter a more intimate understanding
of each others problems on the
part of students and teachers in
these schools.
Four members of the CPS fac
ulty will add their talents to the
administrative and teaching staffs
at Gothenburg this summer. They
are Christian Miller, associate pro-
fessor of German and education;
John Phillips, assistant professor
of religion and sociology; Ray
mond Powell, dean of men and
professor of education; and War
rem Tomlinson, professor of Ger
man and associate professor of

Sweden Denies Claim

Re-export of U. S. products to
USSR is not practised in Sweden,
declares the Swedish Ministry for
Foreign Affairs in connection with
a New York report claiming that
the United States Government has
contacted certain friendly nations
with a request for assistance in
stopping such traffic with the
USSR and other East-bloc states.
Sweden has received no such re-
quest. For that matter, it is
stressed, Sweden's dollar shortage
is so acute that nothing whatever
remains for any re-export..

Swedish Stamps

The popularity of Swe lis h
stamps among American collect
ors, and especially among those
who have neither Swedish ances-
try nor heritage, was surprising
to Erik Swartling, Postmaster
General of Sweden, who remently
made visit to the United States.
THE number of Americans who
buy new stamps directly from
our philatelic agency in Sweden is
amazing" Mr.. Swartling told
Ernest A. Kehr, stamp editor of
the New York Herald Tribune be-
fore he returned to Sweden.

5 Trapped by Mad Killer in Film ai Capitol Theatre

A screen drama of spellbinding tension opens today at the Capitol Theatre. It is M-G-M's Dial 1119,' story of a mad killer and five inno- cent people who endure twenty five minute period of mounting hys- teria, each moment a matter of life or death.
 Marshall Thompson plays the killer, youthful Gunther Wyckoff fugitive from a hospital for the criminal insane, obsessed with a de- termination for revenge on John Faron, the doctor responsible for committing him. It is when he enters the typical neighborhood bar of a small midwestern city to wait tor the doctor that it's occupants are he;.a' ct bay by the crazed man and are given a chance to re-evaluate their lives.
 Together with Chuckles, the bars owner who is the first to recognize Wyckoff from a description flashed on the television screen and who loses his life as a result, the terrified occupants are as varied in character as they are in their reactions to the insane man holding a pistol to their heads.
