Blossom by blossom the spring
begins in st Marys County in
anticipation of the annual Mary
| land House and Garden Pilgrim
age.
This oldest part OF the State
has no show gardens of the type
that cost their owners multiple
thousands a year. But, for red
client box, areas of violets COM
peting with the lawns and ivy on
old brick walls, it can't be beat.
The great gardens Of the
Washington Baltimore area are
Dumbarton Oaks, which can be
seen anytime for free; Mrs. Jo-
seph E. Davies Tregaron on
Klingle road NV. which will be
opened for a benefit tour later
this spring. and the gardens of
Harvey S. Ladew in Hartford and

10th Annual Tour.
This will be the 10Th annual
pilgrimage, which has grown to
be a major event. Last year it
crossed $4,000. Half of the net
goes to the further restoration
and refurnishing of the Har-
wood Hammond House at An
napolis; the rest to the garden
clubs for their projects of res
toration.

McNaYr in Farewell
Credits Citizens With
Progress Since '46
By ChorIes l. Hoffman

Montgomery County residents
have only themselves to pat on
the back or criticize for progress
the county has made in provid-
ing governmental service, &C
cording to County Manager Irv-
ing G.. McNayr.
In winding up his seven years
service with the county-he
leaves his post Thursday-Mr.
McNayr took time out to analyze
the county's accomplishments
and shortcomings under his
leadership.
Frankly speaking" Mr.. Nc
Nayr said, "the tremendous pres
sure of citizens has forced the
county to move into many new
fields"
Furthermore he added, "the
level of services to be provided
in the future is a matter for the
people to decide"
Mr.. McNayr has a word of
warning for his successor. how
ever. Any manager who cuts
Seryices-especially the progress
sive and social services-will be
"crucified" by the people, he
believes.
Progressive County.
Montgomery County is in the
forefront in this field. The
county has tax supported kinder
gartens and junior colleges, a
large number of health clinics,
a modern Jail where prisoners
are we'll fed, a countrywide Ii
brary system.
There's a new juvenile court
setup. a program of close CO.
operation with social and welfare
agencies, a merit system for en-
ployes, paid uniformed women
as school-crossing guards.
Now Montgomery is about to
embark on countrywide recre-
alton program and is preparing
to move into it's new Office build
ing which will cost close to So
million.
These programs haven't been
undertaken without opposition.

Chairman Jenner said yester-
day the Senate Internal Secu-
rity Subcommittee has "over-
whelming evidence that there is
small but dangerous group of
teachers" who are Communist
agents.
Senator Jenner gave no esti-
mate of the number in a state
ment announcing the subcom-
mittee is making available for
public distribution a volume of
testimony taken recently in its
probe for Red influences in
schools and colleges.
In a preliminary report last
January, the subcommittee said
there are many hundreds of
teachers who are Communists -
Senator Jenner said he hoped
educators would study the lat
est volume of evidence and would
keep the subcommittee objec-
tiveS in mind"
"The subcommittee is not con-
cerned with telling the UNIVERSE
ties and colleges what to teach
or how to teach" he said. 1T

academic freedom by fully pro-

that Official statements of lead

value placed on the profession
ais including educators, as
party agents in this campaign"

the house overlooks it much as
Mount Vernon looks down on

In contrast to Mulberry Fields,
Sotterly is kept up like a show

State Rights Issue
Spurs Attack Upon
Transit Proposals
BY the Associated Press

The issue Of Virginia States
Rights promises to make a fight
this week of efforts to cure
Northern Virginia's transporta-
ton headaches.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, says a Sem
ate proposal dealing with the
transportation problems of Met
ropolitan Washington carries a
threat to States Rights.
In a counter move, he is pro-
posing a commission study of
such problems with "prescrip-
ton" to be written later.
Both proposals are scheduled
for airings next week.
A bill by Senator johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado, would set
up a commission to regulate both
public transportation within the
District of Columbia and inter-
state transportation for the
Metropolitan Area.
Opposed by Commission.
This bill, due to reach the
Senate floor early this week, is
opposed by the Virginia State
Corporation Commission.
The Broyhill bill to create a
study commission is scheduled
for a public hearing Tuesday
before the House District Com
mittee.
Mr.. Broyhill told a reporter he
sees a tWo-Way threat to Virginia
State Rights.
The johnson bill, he said,
would infringe on States Rights
in regulating public transpor-
tation in the Virginia area.
Also. the transportation prob
lem itself carries a threat of
Federal intervention" unless the
State and district authorities can
get together on a solution.
Firm Against Johnson.
Mr.. Broyhill was emphatic in
his opposition to the Johnson
bill.
with my bill pending as a
more practical solution in my
opinion" he said, Il would feel
it incumbent upon me to ask the
President to veto the Johnson
bill should it pass"
The problem involves both
transportation and additional
highway and bridge facilities. he
said.
Both the State and the Fed
eral Government have Jagged in
providing these additional facili-
ties" he added.
II don't say that so much in
criticism as to emphasize that
the problem is difficult one due
rapid growth of the Metropolitan
Area.
Number One Problem.
ut is now so serious that
believe it is the number one
problem for the 10th Congress
Sional district"
Representative Broyhill said a
commission created under his bill
would not have to start from
scratch, since hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have already
been spent by other commissions
/ in such studies"
And by representing both Vir.
GINA and Maryland and the Dis
trict, it, could reach recommen-
dations agreeable to all govern
mentS involved, he said.
Mr.. Broyhill said he will offer
| an amendment to his bill to SCI
a time limit of one year fol
such a commission to make its
report.
