Paper Organization

County civic groups came to the
aid of the threatened program and
warned that a paper organization
drawn up around existing county
department heads would mean the
death of the CD volunteer worker
setup
The county council compromised
the issue and appropriated some
$4,000 for the civic defense office
instead of the $4,000 requested
by Col. Ransom.
A retired army officer with more
than 80 years of service, Col. Ran
som has lived in the county since
his retirement six years ago. He
formerly was zone officer of civil
defense in the Gaithersburg area
and was named deputy in August
1851. He advanced to acting di.
rector last February on the re-
signation of Gen. George F. Woo
lev. Before his resignation, Gen.
Woody also had decried apathy in
the Civil Defense program here.

Montgomery Countys Civil Defense director submitted
his resignation to the county council Tuesday in letter
charging the county had failed support the civil defense

" ASAOAe any PAOSACSS wv al u

wrote, 81 see no prospect of attain
ment of an operational status"
The resignation followed by just
week discussion between the
council and Col. Ransom on his re-
quest and recommendation for a
deputy director of civil defense.
The council has not acted on the
accommodation.
Last week Col Ransom described
the volunteer CD workers as a
"leaderless mass" and deplored the
apathy of residents to the threat
of disaster.
The civil defense program has
been in a constant state of confu-
sion for some time.It was almost
doomed last May when County
Manager Irving G. McNayr recon-
mended that the council eliminate
appropriations for operation of the
Civil Defense office.
Mr.. McNayr, scored at that time
the failure of state and federal
authorities for failure to take the
financial leadership of the program.
His statement set off blistering
exchange of letters with the State
Civil Defense director.

Col. Robert B. Ransom, director
since last spring, rendered the re-
signation effective December 81,
or sooner if the council so desires.
The council took the resignation
letter under advisement
Col Ransom, a Gaithersburg re-
sident, accused the county of fail
ing to meet the needs required to
make the civil defense program
operative.

Cop. Votes Israel Plank
(Photo by Robert Markow,

CHICAGO, (JTA) = The Re-
publican National Convention last
week pledged itself to maintain q
friendly interest" in Israel and to
help to bring about peace between
Israel and the Arab countries. -
The plank on Israel adopted by
the convention as part of the Re-
publican Party platform was based
on a text presented to the platform
committee by Republican Congress-
man Jacob K. Javits and modified
by the committee. The original
text was favored by the American
Zionist Council, which represents
all the Zionist groups in the United
States. The text reads:
''The Republican Party has con-
sistently advocated a national
homeland for the Jewish people
since a Republican Congress de-
clared in support of that objective
30 years ago. In providing a sane
tuary for Jewish people rendered
homeless by persecution, the State
of Israel appeals to our deepest
humanitarian instincts and arouses
our strong commentator.
"We shall continue our friendly
interest in this constructive and
inspiring undertaking. We shall put
our influence at the service of the
peace between Israel and the Arab
states and we shall cooperate to
bring economic and social stability
to that area"
