their case himself.
Possible National Issue
McVey told the Council that
adoption of the ordinance "would
soon become a national issue and
might demolish a 81 million a year
industry"
Other speakers scored the pro-
posal, several of them asserting
that it would drive the most desir-
able salespersons out of the
County. Women, especially, would
not want to be fingerprinted "like
any common criminal" Mrs. Jes-
sica Torbett, of cosmetic firm
said.
Other statesmen said the provi-
sions of the ordinance giving the
Department of Inspection and Ii
censes power to revoke a license
for improper" conduct was I'M
fair. as
Would Exempt Newsboys
Rockville Attorney Joseph B.
Simpson, Jr., representing the Bal
timore "Sunpapers" and the Bal
timore "News-Post" and The Sun
day American" asked that news
boys soliciting subscriptions to all
papers published in Maryland, as
well as Montgomery County and
the District, be exempted.
Mrs. Kathryn J. Lawlor, Silver
Spring attorney representing the
Sears, Roebuck Co., and Louis Tul-
man.. director of the National es-
tablished Roofing, Siding and In
sulating Contractors, Inc, agreed
that if the Council was unshake-
able in their plan, the ordinance
require the licensing and bonding
of each sales company, and not
each individual solicitor.
William D. Donnelly, represent
ing the General Conference of
Seventh-day Adventists, urged the
Council to exempt anyone selling
only religious literature pointing
out that through this evangelical
work." his religion had made many
converts.
Floyd f. Selbst, who sells a ba-
by chair with headquarters in
Rockville, asked the Council why,
if few complaints warrent an an
ti-solicitor ordinance, shouldn't
all persons with less than a fourth
grade education also be licensed
because statistics show a CORE
lation between education and in
cidence of crime.
Follows Complaints
County Safety Director Arthur
E. Miller said the proposal follow
ed several complaints of solicitors
failing to deliver or delivering in
ferior goods, insulting solicitors
and face cripples playing on the
housewives sympathy.
He also pointed to a recent case
in Arlington County where an it.

Letters to the Editor

To The Editor

To The Editor
In Montgomery County, as well
as from other sections Of the Ma
ton, we hear complaints from the
Civilian Defense authorities that
the citizens are too complacent,
will not participate in activities,
appropriate funds, etc. Perhaps, if
the Civilian Defense organizations
were not Influenced so much by old
fogies, professional joiners and
those who make a living from
them, an appealing program could
be offered which the public would
buy. The same old methods are
being used by the button and

II who with the authority of shiny
buttons and brightly marked he'll

upon our complacent populace.
Without the intent of sluring the
middle age group, Tin which l will
soon be member) and the old
age groups, / recommend that all
Civilian Defense plans and oper-
ations be patterned so that all
major programs will be conducted
by the youth of the country. Keep
the old groups for what little fin
ancial guidance will be needed and
for specialized training purposes.
Requirements for these functions
will eliminate a large percentage
of present day participants. We
continue to harp on Juvenile delin-
ouency but do little but talk.
Haven't most of us wondered at
the growth and enthusiasm of our
high school groups? The interest
and physical energy which they
give to seeminglv unimportant,
sffairs is astounding. Let us har-
ness this interest and energy. Let
them wear the buttons and he'll

While ANYTHING is possible. our

Dear Sir:
We would like to express pub
licly our warm appreciation of the
action of Mr.. H. Stanley Slime,
President of the Board of Educa-
ton of Montgomery County, who
last Tuesday insisted upon attend
ing the United Nations Day ex-
ercises in Rockville as representa-
tive of the Board, despite the pro-
test of one member.
The statement of the protesting
member puzzles us. He said: Il
won't swear allegiance to the
United Nations" Why would he,
how COULD he swear allegiance
to an organization that has no
sovereignty? The United Nations
is permanent conference of
sovereign nations no more, no
less.
We who support the United
Nations believe that man does
not lose his individuality or inte-
gritty when he enters into friend
ship or into cooperative group
activity; we believe the same is
true of nations, which are COM
posed of men,,
Russia, China and the satellite
countries occupy 13,885,660 square
miles of earth, with all it's re-
sources; we occupy 3,022,387
square miles. They represent 30
percent of the people of the world;
we, percent. They have ID million
men under arms; we have 8 mil
lion. They have hydrogen and
atomic bombs, and excellent air
force, and fleet of powerful long
distance submarines.
t. We can make no greater mis-
take than to regard ourselves as
omnipotent. We. can make no
greater contribution than by dem
onstrating to the world our faith
in the democratic process: free
minds meeting together to face
and find answers to common prob
lens.
