ges are assigned to the Sixth Cir
cult. They are Judge Charles W.

The Mayor of Hagerstown,
Herman L. Mills, has dropped
his hat into the States polit-
ical arena by announcing his
candidacy for the Republican
nomination for the United
States Senate seat now held
by Senator Herbert r. O'Con-
or.
The possibility that Mills would
be a candidate has been rumored
for some time.
In making his announcement
Mayor Mills said his decision to
run has not "been a hasty one"
He said, II have talked to many,
many people from all parts Of the
State Of Maryland and all parts
of the United States"
He said it is clear that the great
majority of our people are tired
of voting people out of office only
to find they have voted someone
into office who does no better
when he gets to Washington.
The mayor said,
"If the voters of the State Of
Maryland choose to trust me to
represent them in the us. Sen
ate, l PROMISE TO FIGHT,
WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH,
the senseless policy of giving
away OUR money to other nations
all over the world. This INSANE
policy has frightened me, as L
believe it has frightened you.
This ridiculous policy of "give
away and throw away" must stop,
l SAY 1T MUST STOP. Entirely
TOO MUCH money is being taken
away from US in taxes will not be
necessary.
"The irresponsible dreamers who
now control our government go
about the world, giving away,
YOUR MONEY and mine, to any
nation that will take it, while in
our OWN country we need schools,
hospitals, asylums, correctional in
stitutions, roads and homes, FOR
OUR OWN PEOPLE. They go
about the world raising the stand
ards Of living of other nations
while we have MILLIONS of poor
people in our own ountry. Our
poor people have money taken out
Of their pay checks, so that money
can be sent to foreign lands, and
in many cases, the money we send
abroad is given to crooked politi-
clans who use it for their own
benefit"

Housewives Urged
To Enter Politics
In Werner Speech
Candidate Makes Plea
In Talk Before Club
In HagerstOwn

Mrs. Stella Biddison Wer-
ner, Democratic candidate for
the Sixth Congressional Dist
riot nomination to Congress
this week urged housewives
to enter politics as active
party members.
Mrs. Werner, in a talk before
the Democratic Women's Club of
Hagerstown on Tuesday night,
said, in part:
"In urging you to become inter-
ested in government by studying
government problems, by actively
participating in politics and by
voting, l am not trying to take
you out of the home. Home has
always been the foundation of So
ciety and must be preserved. For
the past Is years, l have been
studying and actively participating
in local government, and l have
not found that this activity has
interfered with my chief role as
wife and mother.
Women in the home are close
to government problems every day.
Such problems include the control
of communicable diseases, the ed
ucation of our children, the high
cost of living, the sterilization of
wages and the preservation of
peace. With modern appliances to
make housework lighter, women
today have time to give to poll
tics. At no time in the history of
our country has there been a
greater need for all citizens to
use their leisure for the improve
ment of government" she stated.
Mrs. Werner especially urged
women to register as members of
a political party and to work with
one in order to have a real part in
selecting party candidates and in
making party policy. "The wom-
an who registers as an Independ-
ent," she said, cancels out her
first chance = in the primary =
to help elect the kind of candidate
she would like to represent her
community. When it comes to
the general election, she must
choose between candidates offered
by the political party members to
whom she has delegated part of
her democratic rights"
