Town Hall Meeting
To Be Held Tuesday
Annual Event, Sponsored By
Chamber OF Commerce VIII
Start At 6:3O P. M. Herman
B. Hopes VIII Be Moderator.

The fifth annual Town Hall Meet
ing, sponsored by the Hagerstown
Chamber of Commerce, will be
held in Franklin Court Auditorium
Tuesday evening, at $50 o'clock.
The meeting will be presided over
by Herman Stockslager, president
of the Chamber, and the Moderator
will be Herman B. Hopes.
As is usual in these annual events,
the Mayor and Council and the
Board Of County Commissioners will
be on hand and will act as a Panel
to answer questions presented by
the members of the audience.
These annual Town Hall meetings
have, since their beginning in 1949,
become more and more successful
each year. They present an oppor-
tunity to the taxpayers of both the
city and county to present to the
panel questions concerning City and
County government with which
they are concerned.
Further than that however, they
also give the Mayor and Council
and the members of the Board of
County Commissioners an opportun-
ity to get first-hand information from
the taxpayers regarding their views
on matters pertaining to government.
The Town Hall meetings are, in
no sense of the word, political meet
ings, but rather unique opportunity
for free and open discussion between
the audience and the panel on mat
tiers of interest to both.
The meeting will open with a
dinner, after which the audience will
submit written questions concerning
government - both City and County
- which the moderator will ask
various members of the panel to
answer.
Your question can be addressed to
any individual member of the panel
or to the panel as whole.
If you haven't already done so,
you can obtain your ticket for the
meeting. the price of which, $3.50,
includes the dinner, and as was the
case last year, arrangements will be
made to accommodate a limited num-
Der who will be unable to attend the
dinner, but would like to take part
in the panel discussions.

served for one year as president of
that League also.
Mr. Jamison's interest in baseball
has never wavered since his college
days, when he was a member of the
baseball team, and he probably
knows more about the grand old
game, than any other man in the
community.
From what this writer heard at the
dinner honoring Mr.. Miles, the finan-
cial success of the Baltimore Orioles
in 1854 is already assured. In fact,
a number of responsible men at the
banquet were confidently talking
about breaking Milwaukee's sensa-
tional attendance this year.
1t was largely through the efforts
of Clarence Miles that Baltimore was
able to buy - for cash - st. Louis
Browns franchise in the American
League and it is only fitting that
he was named as the Clubs first

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1953-12-03
Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

The Harry Dexter White spy case
continues to occupy the thinking of
members of Congress and govern
ment officials for two reasons: y
Because there are many questions
still unanswered about it, and p for
the lessons and profit we can gain
from it to improve the security of
the country.
Former President Truman and
former Secretary of State Byrnes
have explained their part in the de-
cision to give White more important
lob though they had been warned of
his Russian espionage activities; for
mer Secretary of the Treasury Vim
son, who was in on the decision, is
dead; the fourth man involved, for
mer Attorney General Clark, re-
fuses now to be put under oath to
tell his story because he is now a
Sepreme Court Justice.
1t is clear, however, that FBI
warnings only to the Executive
branch on security matters, is APP
parently insufficient at times. It
can lead to a cover-up in which a
political question arises because
those making the decision are mem
bers of only one party.
Therefore, I am seriously consider
ing offering legislation to do two
things:
y To create a Joint Committee
on Security in Congress, made up of
the President of the Senate, the
Speaker of the House, and the major
ity and minority floor leaders in both
houses = thus both parties would be
represented.
p To authorize the FBI to send
security reports to this committee.
They are now sent only to the Ex-
ecutive branch. Thus the execu-
tives could be advised by congress
sional representatives in such a crit
ical decision as the one to promote
Harry Dexter White.
Nothing in the Constitution says
that the Executive branch is meant to
have complete charge of security
problems facing the government.
That situation has just sort of grown
up" The White case has taught us,
however, that we have an opportun-
ity to correct a defect in our security
system - system which now seems
to permit disloyal and immoral per-
sons to enjoy the privilege of en-
ployment by the federal government.
On my calendar: With Congress
converting right after the holidays,
l am setting out next week on a
week-long tour of Maryland's 9Th
Congressional District. l want to find
out more of what Maryland people
are talking about in regard to ma
tional issues and problems.
I will spend each day in different
county. During the day I will be on
the move, talking to as many resi-
dents as possible. In the evenings,
I will be in one place and certainly
want anyone to drop in for a visit
and "a chat.
! will be in Washington County on
Tuesday and will be at the Hotel
Alexander in Hagerstown on Tues
day evening.

CO P Telephone Co
Asks Rate Increase
Application Filed With State
Public Service Commission On
Friday. Hearings VIII Be Held.

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company of Baltimore
City last Friday asked the Public
Service Commission to grant it in
creased teiepone rates, so that it
may continue to progress with, and
contribute fully to, the growth and
development of Maryland"
In its application, the Company did
not specify any amount of increased
rates they wanted, but asked the
Commission to approve schedule Of
rates and charges that will be just,
reasonable and sufficient to yield a
fair return upon the fair value of the
Company's property.
The company also stressed, in its
application, that problems caused by
imitation have plagued" all utilities,
including telephone companies,
throughout the post war period. 1t
noted that increases in telephone
rates since the war have Tagged
well behind increased costs, with the
result that serious and irreparable
losses have been incurred by the
company. The stage has now been
reached where effective remedial
action is imperative if impairment of
the company's ability to provide its
vitality important communication
services is to be avoided"
The conpany's petition noted that
today's record telephone construc-
ton is being provided at currently
existing high price levels, with the
result that, as additions are made,
the average investment per tele-
phone will be substantly increased.
Wages were cited by C. and P. as
another example of continued high
operating cost. New wage agree
ments, providing substantial in
creases for employees, were negot-
lated in August and September.
These increases alone, it was en-
phasized, "offset a substantial .por-
ton" of the company's last rate in
crease.

Around Town With
The Editor

The Mayor and Council will hold
their regular monthly meeting in the
CITY Hall at 7:30 tonight and 1 eX-
pect that some action will be taken
at the meeting, regarding the pay of
City Employees who are temporarily
unable to work because of injuries
received in the line of duty.
While l have received no official
word as to what recommendation the
Board of Public Works will present
to the Mayor and Council, ! under
stand that they lean toward paying
full wages in these cases - and l
hope they do.
Final action regarding the sewer
age problem in some of the homes on
Radcliffe Avenue has been temper
arily held up, due to the absence
from the City of Mr.. Samuel Cohen,
of the Hagerstown Housing Corpor-
alton. I understand, however, that
as soon as he returns, the situation
will be finally disposed Of.
l also understand that the Board
of Directors of the Hagerstown Fair
Association, at their annual meeting,
which will be held later in the
month, will vote on the question of
splitting the present Fair Associa-
ton Stock on a basis of 10 shares
for one, and also on the question Of
placing the stock on a dividend pay
ing basis.
This probably accounts for the re-
cent advertisement in the daily pa
pers, of an offer to buy some of the
shares at the all-time high price of
$3.50 per share.
Fair Board Stock, you will remem-
Der, has a par value of $500 a share
and understand that only 500 shares
were issued.
On page four you will find two
articles that I believe will interest
you.
One concerns the origin of the
Salvation Army's Little Red Ket-
tie" and the other concerns well
thought-out plan for long-range
County road building program l
hope you will take the time to read
them both.
