For Closed Meeting

The Prince Georges County

take up the question of dismissing
Democratic employees at 1920

at Upper Marlboro.
BY a 4-to-1 vote, with Commis-
sioner H. Wilson Spicknall dis
senting, the board turned aside a
cloSed-door request presented per-
Sonally by Edwin A. Glenn, presi-
dent of the County Republican
Club. and a former unsuccessful
candidate for the 5th District con-
gressionai seat.
Mr.. Glenn placed before the
commissioners a joint resolution
approved by his group and the
Prince Georges Young Republic

resolution adopted by the senior
Republican Club headed by Mr..
Glenn.
Had Asked Secrecy.
Both asked the commissioners
to discuss the controversial ques-
ton of wholesale Democratic fir
lings preferably at some location
other than your regular meeting
room. so as to preclude the possi-
bility Of any attendant publicity"
Commissioner Daniel A. Abbott,
obviously stung by reports that
the club insists in carrying out
the purge. said:
II feel the board should grant
joint or separate hearings but am
not willing to agree that they
should not be public. The people
behind this move have attacked
the commissioners publicly. They
have been quoted in the press as
saying they are no longer asking
us what should be done, they are
telling us. I assume these reports
are correct because I have seen
no denial.
Moves Public Hearing.
II move" Mr.. Abbott said, that
we give them a hearing-a public
hearing and nowhere else but in
this room"
His motion was seconded BY
Commissioner w. Everett Marion.
Speaking against the motion,
Commissioner Spicknall said he
believes the custer plan should be
discussed "in some other section

Robert A. Willgoos, Alexandria
architect, said the contractors had
filed another application for the
steel priority. He said it was
possible they would start excaya-
ton work without a priority in
the hope they can get the steel
later.
An official of the Boys Club said
the Governments refusal to grant
a priority for construction of a new
Georgetown branch would cause
real hardship in club work. The
club sold It's former building at

Dear Mr.. Shulman:
do hope you will print the
following in the next issue Of
Center Talk, in order to inform
the community Of an important
project undertaken by our con-
gregation.
Although the weather was mis-
cradle, and the attendance was
poor as result, Rabbi Louis M.
Tuchman's Yizkor appeal on
Shemini Atzereth brought the
needed results. Realizing tn e
plight of our brethren in, Israel,
he appealed to those present to
send food parcels to the hungry
people in Israel. He spoke dra-
matically, forcefully, and effec-
lively. He pointed out that Israel
cannot remain strong if its people
are weak. His words struck
home, and within few minutes,
a little more than 80 parcels, at
1000 dollars a parcel, were
raised.
AS words reached those who
were not present in the syna-
gogue that morning, additional
parcels were pledged, until we
reached the total of 40 parcels.
I know that there are many
who would care to help, for they
know how great the need is. I
urge you to send food certificates
or parcels whenever the oppor-
tunity may present itself, in
order to give nourishment to a
starving people.
With kindest personal regards,
I remain
Very truly yours,
Otto z. Fox
President
