A VISIT COMPLETED

"A VISIT COMPLETED
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT outcome of Secretary
McKays visit is the assurance that everything possible will
be done to help these Islands economically and otherwise. In
talks with members Of the legislature, private citizens and the
press, Secretary Mckay let it be known that President Essen
hover is very interested in the Secretary1s visit; that this in
terest will continue, and that upon his return the Secretary
will make a complete report to the President
STUDIES OF CONDITIONS will be made with a view
to finding the type of solution which will be fool proof. The
new Administration, not content with what it might have in
herited, has decided to make its own studies, and its own
approach to problems in all departments and in all phases
Of government. We naturally welcome these studies, and
look forward to the time when cooperation can be given at
its fullest.
DURING HIS ENTIRE visit the question which was
highest on the minds Of all natives was the appointment of a
new Governor. 1t was natural that the Secretary would not
tip his hand, at least to the point where safe deductions could
be made. His trip here, at this time, was undoubtedly no ac-
cident. He wanted to see for himself, and so to return to his
Office with a clearer view not only of what is needed, but OF
the type Of governor who is most likely to help tide over and
meet our problems,
BUTTHERE IS more to a visit than just a look-see, Both
sides seems to have something in common, to have a meeting
ground, and to be able in the future to meet their common
interests with vgor and understanding. The chief OF the Divi-
sion Of Territories will have an easier time in discussing mat
tiers pertaining to the Islands, and the Secretary will know
what is being talked about. We, on the other hand, will know
the man in whose hands rest the destiny Of our home.
IT IS HOPED that Secretary Mckay had an ENJOYABLE
visit; that he covered all he intended to cover, and that there
was enough for him to take away a complete picture OF the
situation. While here the Interior Secretary met many eiti-
zens, and thus heard for himself what is uppermost in our

InauguratiOns Have Been MiIestOnes
For American Science and Invention

Hayes in 1878 and White House
electric lights for President Ben
jamin Harrison in 1890. William
McKinley's Inauguration in 1897
was the first to be filmed in mo-
ton pictures, but theatergoers did
not enjoy an inaugural newsreel
until that of Woodrow Wilson's
second Inauguration in 1917.
In 1921 more people heard one
mans, voice at one time and place
than ever before when President
Harding's inaugural speech was
amplified over public address
system. Amplifcation arrange
ments for the 1853 Inauguration
were the most elaborate in history,
involving 100 loudspeakers and IL
miles Of wiring.
Calvin Coolidge was the first
president to broadcast his address
over the radio, and 10 million tcle-
vision viewers are estimated 70
have watched President Truman
during the first Inauguration tele-
cast. One estimate places the tele-
vision audience for the Eisenhower
inauguration at 100 million.

Commission for larger State
contribution 10 teachers salaries.
Salary Increases
"Not only is the salary increase
well deserved by these loyal State
employees" said the Governor,
" but indeed it is necessary in the
face Of everyday living costs and
Of our competition for personnel
with other units Of government
and private employers.
Mr.. McKeldin said that care Of
the mentally i'll "is continuing TO
receive high priority" in State
spending, and that much Of next
years costs will be due to the
stating Of facilities authorized
during the previous administra-
ton. He expressed the hope, how
ever. that a new emphasis on re-
Mobilization will hasten the time
when there will be no necessity
for the building and stating Of
expensive additions to our mental
hospital plant"

Washington-Jan. 22-Important
progress in science and technology
has been marked in presidential in
augurations over the years. Inaug-
ural spectators on January 20 saw
another American achievement
when an atomic cannon was parad-
ed for the first time.
Dwight D. Eisenhower's inaug-
uration was far different in scope,
says the National Geographic So
ciety, from the local, impromptu
affairs of the Nations earlier years,
when presidents arrived on horse
back or by stagecoach, and tallow
candles dripped on guests at one
stove-heated inaugural ball.
The first Inauguration, for
George Washington, was delayed
more than a month because of
travel difficulties, and it was not
until William Henry Harrison's in
auguration Of 1S41 that military
unit came from as far away as
Philadelphia to march in the par
ade. In contrast, veterans Travelled
all the way from Korea to partici-
pate in the current pageant.
General Harrison was the first

president-elect to arrive for his
Inauguration by train, the Society
recalls, although Andrew jackson
had previously taken a trip by
railroad. William Howard Taft
used an automobile while in the
White House, but Warren G. Hard
ing was the first to ride to the
Capitol by motor car for inaugural
ceremonies.
Another innovation at the Hard
ing Inauguration was delivery Of
a special New York newspaper edi-
ton to Washington by airplane.
At Herbert Hoover's Inauguration
an aerial display Of 50 planes and
five lighter-than-air craft was a
novelty for spectators. On January
20 the crowds crane to see ACT air.

magnetic telegraph. It heralded an

Comic ODeretta
To Be Given in
New Auditorium

Gilbert and Sullivan's comic OPP
eretta, "The Gondoliers," will be
produced in the new auditorium Of
Richard Montgomery High School
early in June, under the direc-
ton of the Reverend Raymond P.
Black, for the benefit of the Rich
ard Montgomery P-TA. Rehearsals
will begin Tuesday, January 81,
at 8:15 in the Parish Hall of
Christ Episcopal Church, South
Washington Street, Rockville.
"The Gondoliers" is considered
by many to be the most toneful
and colorful of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operettas. However, it
requires an enormous company and
therefore is not produced as fire.
quently as some of the other OPP
erettas. Seventeen soloists and a
chorus Of twenty-four men and
twenty-four women will be re-
quired.
The Reverend Mr.. Black hopes
that all interested persons will pre-
sent themselves at the first re-
hearsal scheduled January 81, be-
cause no time is to be lost if
good show is to be prepared in
the time available. Since Mr.. Black
has been in Rockville, he has pre-
sented eight operettas, six of them
since his return from duty in
the Navy. Prior to coming here,
he presented most of the Gilbert
and Sullivan operettas in New
York City and Westchester
County.

Tax Payers
To Examine
The Budget
Newly Formed County
GrOupInitiatesInquiry
Into Budget System

Montgomery County Taxpayers,
Inc. is initiating action to achieve
more effective public participation
in the County's budget process.
The Executive Committee at its
recent meeting expressed concern
over the many difficulties facing
any public group trying to exam
inc the County's budget and oper-
alton. Noting that these difficult
ties are particularly acute today in
view of the widespread concern ov-
er rising taxes, the Executive
Committee has initiated a profess
sional inquiry into this problem.
Members of the Executive Com
mittee include James R. Miller,
president; S. Walter Bogley, vice
president at large; William d.
Blair, treasurer, and ]. Ingram
Medley, member of the Board of
Directors.
Mr.. Miller summarized the prob
lem as follows:
"The County Council has fire.
quently expressed its hope that ci-
tizens groups would take a more
responsible attitude toward the
County budget. In the face of
moaning complaints about inereas-
ing taxes, the Council has urged
citizen organizations to carefully
study the entire County budget and
express their opinion on which ac-
tivities. should be financed and
which should be cut.
ave believe that the Council
and the County Manager are really
;incere in their desire to obtain
greater public understanding of
and more effective citizen partici-
patton in official budget decisions.
Accordingly, our executive commit
tee has requested Morris Allen,
our organizations professional
consultant, to recommend ways
and means of improving the pres
ent budget process. We intend to
urge the County officials to adopt
rules of the game which will en-
able responsible citizen groups to
carefully study and recommend
how their money is to be spent.
Zone of the problems to be con-
sidered is the very short period
of time available for the public to
examine the County budget. Last
year, for example, public groups
received their copies of the budget
only q 3 weeks before the County
Council commenced public budget
hearings. In only 2 or 3 weeks it
is an impossible task to carefully
