Hershey Heads
Citizens Group
0nCiivi|Defens
Will Draw Plans
For Advisory Unit
In Montgomery

Mai Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
the Nations director of selective
service, who called a special
meeting of Montgomery County
citizens last night at Rockville,
was named chairman of a five
member steering committee to
draft plans for a permanent cit
liens advisory group on civil de-
fense.
More than 200 citizens, includ-
ing three members of the Coun-
ty Council. attended the session
in the auditorium of the new
County Building.
About the only things on
which they were in full agree
ment were the need for an ade-
quate civil defense program for
the county and the choice Of
Gen. Hershey
Debate Who Should Advise.
One point of dispute was over
which group should advise the
County Council on civil defense
needs. Some said an entire new
citizens advisory committee was
needed. Others said the job
should be left up to an organi-
zation already set up. the Mont
gomery County Civil Defense AS
sociation. Still others said the
two should be combined to work
toward the same goal.
The net result, after much
parliamentary wrangling, was
the decision to form the five
man steering committee.
Gen. Hershey was authorized
to pick two other members. The
gathering also voted to include
two members of the Civil De-
fense Association.
The general. who lives at $500
Lambeth road, Bethesda, later
said he might make his choices
by tomorrow. He added he
would contact the association S
president, F. Lee Hardesty of
1924 Sixteenth street, Silver
Spring, today. Mr.. Hardesty re-
ported he would be one of his
groups two Representatives.
Rap Lack Of Officers.
The County Council also came
in for much criticism for it's fail
ure to appoint a civil defense di-
rector and staff since the resig-
nation last January of Col. Rob-
ert B. Ransom. Instead, the job
is one of many duties given the
County's director of public safe
ty. Arthur E. Miller.
Council President George F..
Nesbitt explained no new civil
defense director was named be-
cause the council felt there was
mo sense naming paper assign
ments until you get people to
work with"

criticized the County's program
as the worst in the State, said
County residents have two grave

Democrats 10 Indorse
Alexandra Slate,
Including Wagner

Thomas Moncure, chairman of
the Alexandria Democratic Com
mittee, today said the committee
will issue a good 0strong state
ment indorsing all Democratic
candidates and especially rebut-
ting the attack on Earl F. Wag-
ner."
Mr.. Wagner, who is running
for Commonwealth's attorney on
the Democratic slate, has been
accused of having been a Re-
publican recently. He defeated
the incumbent Democrat, How
ard w. Smith, jr., last July in a
hotly contested primary.
Mr.. Moncure's announcement
that a strong statement is forth
coming-probably late today
followed a Democratic commit
tee meeting last night which was
described as lively"
After considerable debate COM
mittee members adopted a reso-
luton that Mr.. Wagner should
be singled out for Endorsement
since he "is a Democrat"
Mr.. Moncure sai6 he and
Ralph H. Boyle. j., campaign
chairman, will sign the state
ment but that it will be from
the committee. Until today,
Mr.. Moncure has withheld in
dorsement of Mr.. Wagner.
The latest attack of Mr.. Wag-
ner's party aff1liation came today
in political advertisement for
William C. Bauknight, Inde-
pendent aspirant for Common
wealth's Attorney. The adver-
tisement, published in an Alex
andria weekly paper. included a
reprint of newspaper article
in which Mr.. Wagner is listed
as a delegate to a Northern Vir-
ginia Republican convention on
August "a, 1851.

MED that he was a Republican,

Truck Dealer Hits
Sanitary Group for
'I||usory' Bidding

A District truck dealer has ac-
cused the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission of main
tanning only "the illusion of COM
petitive bidding" in purchasing
it's trucks.
Officials of the suburban Mary
land water and sewer utility
termed the claim ridiculous.
The dealer-Walter P. Hark,
sales manager of REQ Washing
ton Co., Inc.-Made his accusa-
ton in a letter which he sub
mitted in lieu of a bid yesterday
when the sanitary commission
opened bids on the purchase of
nine new trucks.
Suggests Direct Buying.
Mr.. Hark wrote: price quota
tions are requested by the COM
mission for the purpose of Great
ing the illusion of competitive
bidding the commission
should give consideration to ne
gotiating directly with its pre-
ferred sources for purchase of its
equipment requirements"
He complained specifically
about a truck contract awarded
last July. At that time, COM
mission officials said, contract for
five refuse trucks was awarded
to Maloney's, Inc, of 1926 Geor-
gia avenue, Silver Spring.
Mr.. Hark's firm and two others
submitted lower bids than Ma
loney's, the commission spokes-
men conceded, but the lower bid
ders did not meet the specifica-
tions of the truck the agency de-
sired.
Defends Purchases.
Jack Jester, maintenance en-
gineer for the commission, said
most of the refuse collection
trucks the commission owns were
bought from Maloney's, but that
is because "Maloney either has
submitted the lowest bid or has
been the only firm meeting the
specifications"
Yesterdays sale was in two
pieces. Banning & Sons Motors,
Inc. of HyattSville was low bid
der on both, offering five dump
trucks for a net price after trade
in of $14,684. and three pickupS
and a chassis for a net of
$4,772.50. Purchasing Agent w.
r. Douglas said he would rec
ommend that the commission
award both contracts to Ban
ming.
