Democrats
And MahoneY
Younger Members
Rup Mud-SIineine;
Elect Tydings
By Gene Goodwin
StoT Stoff Correspondenf

OCEAN CITY, Md. Sept. 10.
-Maryland's Young Democrats
wound up their biennial conven-
ton here tonight after emphati-
cally scolding the State party
IN general and George P. Ma
honey in particular.
Hardly anybody mentioned
Mr.. Mahoney directly, but he
obviously was on the minds of
all the delegates as they made
and heard speeches and passed
resolutions condemning mud
singing and character assassi-
nation"
Urge High-Level Campaign.
A carefully. but strongly
worded, resolution unanimously
approved by the Young Demo-
Gratis today was@interpreted as
being aimed at Mr.. Mahoney
when it called on all Democratic
candidates in the primary next
June Ito conduct their cam
paigns on the highest level in
order that the party may enter
into the general election of 1854
as a consolidated group"
1t said great factor'' in the
defeats the Democrats suffered
in 1850 and 1852 was the bitter
primary campaigns of those
years (which left our party torn
with strife and split into many
factions"
That resolution was substi-
tuted by the Resolutions Com
mittee for a so-called harmony"
proposal put forth by three
county delegations.
Was Thorn to Democrats.
Mr.. Mahoney's aggressive
campaigning in the 1850 and
1852 primaries earned him the
title of number one thorn in the
side of Maryland organized
Democrats.
In 1850. he narrowly lost to
former Gov. William Preston

Montgomery Delays
Rural Reassessment
Program 10 January

Montgomery County is hold
ing up it's reassessment in rural
areas until after a new three
year program goes into effect
January l.
Meanwhile, according to Will
ton T. Allen, supervisor of as
sessments, three two-man teams
are doing the field work neces-
sary for the assessment pro-
gram.
Maryland goes on the new
three-year cycle in 1854. Under
the law. the assessable base of
the county will be frozen until
all reassessments go on the
books May /, 1856.
Divided Into 3 Areas.
The old law provided for a
five-year cycle with a fifth of
the county's property being re-
assessed and put on the books
each year.
Under the new plan, the
county has been divided into
three geographical areas. In the
first year all election districts
except 7, 10 and 13. will be re-
assessed.
The second year the assessors
will hit districts 7 and 10, Po-
tomac and Bethesda, and the
third year, 49,. Silver Spring.
Some 1890 pieces of proper
ty in the rural areas will be re-
assessed the first year. In the
second year there will be 20,100
properties, with the remaining
29,400 being valued in the final
year of the cycle.
Problem in Fringe Areas.
The farm base accounts for
only about 6 per cent of the
county's total assessable base,
Mr.. Allen said.
The big problem confronting
the assessors this year are the
fringe areas - those sections
where farms and residential
properties have become mixed
by expansion Of the Metropoli-
tan area. Another problem is
differentiating between operat-
ing farms and gentleman"
estates.
The assessors have been con-
ferring with a group of farmers
to get their suggestions for a
mutually agreeable assessing
technique. These talks still are
in progress, Mr.. Allen said.
The rural areas last were as
sessed in 1949 and 1850.

Lane, jr., for the gubernatorial
nomination, and Mr.. Lane went
on to defeat by Republican Gov.
McKeldin. Mr.. Mahoney, a
wealthy Baltimore contractor,
came back to defeat former Rep
resentative Sasscer for the SEN
atorial nomination in 1852, but
was easily whipped by Republi-
can Senator Beall in the general
election.
Mr.. Mahoney, who has been
travelling around the State all
summer as though he intended
another try for governor, also
came in for attack in speeches
here by Mr. Lane and Mayor
D'AleSandro of Baltimore.
1T was the members of the
Democratic Party who defeated
US in 1850 and 1852" Mr.. Lane
said last night, referring to the
primary campaigns Of those
years as "barnyard squabbleS."
Mr.. D'AleSandro, an announced
candidate for governor himself,
was more emphatic in his key
note. He left no doubt that his
charges of "mudslinging and
character assassination" were
aimed at Mr.. Mahoney.
Mr.. Mahoney took it all with
a smile, They couldn't mean
me-" he told reporters. The only
singing I do is with facts"
Elect Joseph d. TydingS.
The Young Democrats, mean
while, gave their political seniors
a lesson in harmony as they
elected Joseph D. Tydings of
Aberdeen to be their new presi-
dent and approved a f1stful of
resolutions.
Mr.. Tydings, 25-year-old son
of the former Maryland Senator,
was challenged only by Charles
B. Buscher of Silver Spring. And
when it became clear as the first
roll call neared its end that Mr..
Tydings was the choice of the
convention, Mr.. BuScher took the
floor to concede and move that
the election be made unanimous,
The younger Tydings indicated
to reporters he may try to follow
il the footsteps of his father.
Asked about the strong senti-
ment expressed here to draft
Mr.. Lane as a Democratic cam
didate for Governor next year,
Mr.. TydingS praised the former
Governor and said he had great
appeal among young Democrats.
Call Committees to Meet.
The only resolution adopted
that aroused even a murmur of
oppositio was one calling for all
the State Central Committees
to meet Immediately to name a
new State chairman, post left
vacant by the death last Febru-
Fry of Robert Ennis.

Query on Book Fees
In Arlington Schools
Called Political Move

Legality OF school book rentals
in some grades was questioned
by the Arlington County Board
yesterday and Immediately
brought a rejoinder from a
School Board member that the
query was a political" move.
The County Board asked Com
monwealth's Attorney William ].
Hassan to look into the School
Boards newly adopted policy of
charging a retnal fee fr text
books in grades through IL.
1--WE don't want any more liti-
cation against the School Board.
We just want to make sure
everything is. legal" George M.
Rozee jr., Republican board
member, said. ' :.@.
"ANhNo %uNoNAVA Il CCSs
Mr.. RoWzee said he has re-
ceived many calls from parents
asking why the fees are to be
paid to individual schools. He
said the questions asked included
whether the money is to be ac-
counted for in the school budget.
A School Board member, DR..
Barnard Joy, when asked later
about the matter, said book rem
tai is widely practiced in Vir-
ginia. He said that Mr.. Rowzee's
raising of the issue was a move
made in a political context"
A fee of 81 is charged for the
use of textbooks in the eighth
and ninth gardes and the fee
for the three upper grades is
S., he said.
On the point of payment to
the schools, DR.. Joy said the
money is collected by each pub
lie school and turned over to
the School Board. Then, he said,
fees are put into a fund used
only for the purchase of more
textbooks.
The County Board, in another
action, turned down a request
for referendum on bonds for
public swimming pools.
Sidewalk Plea Granted.
A Catholic priest asked for
sidewalks along six blocks of a
street leading to a parochial
school. His request was granted.
Father R. Dixon Beattie, pas
tor of st. AIMS Church and
founder of it's school at 900
North Frederick street, told the
board he was asking only for
funds to grade the street and
lay base for the walks. He said
he would obtain the money for
asphalt sidewalks through do
nations from friends.
The board unanimously agreed
to assist in the project by trans
ferring $1,000 from a contingent
fund.
The board also released a re-
port from Commemorative At
torney Hassan in which he said
that board action in delegating
planning and zoning matters to
new committees was legal and
valid"
Frank S. Morgan. chairman OF
the Arlington Planning Com
mission which county heads have
gradually neutralized this year,
wrote to the board on September
8 that it's zoning actions were OF
doubtful legality"

Mccain 10 Join

Route 24O Talk
Oct. 2o or 30 PurIey
Moy Advance Hopes
For Route Agreement
BY George Beveridee

Maryland Roads Commissioner
Russell H. Mccain said last
night he would welcome a joint
meeting with the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission Octo-
Der 30 or 80 to seek settlement
to the Route 240 fight.
Such a meeting, with the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission also
participating. was proposed by
the national planners at their
meeting Friday.
Robert M. Watkins. chairman
Of the nearby Maryland plan
ming body, said his group also
would like to participate ito
keep the door open for any con-
ciliatory approach" to a settle
ment on the road issue.
Both Sides AdamOnt.
AS recent developments have
worked out, however, there were
no signs that either the national
planners or the Roads Commits
sion would yield. The roads
group insists that it should build
a southeast leg of Route 240
through Rock Greek Park Sec
ton and across North Chevy
Chase to terminate at the East
West highway. The planners still
oppose this project.
Each group, in proposals and
contemporaries, suggests the
other yield on this major issue.
Each offers alternate plans for
improving nearby Maryland's
traffic ills.
Before next months confer
ence, the Planning Commission
wants Mr.. Mccain to express his
views on an alternate proposal
submitted by the planners to
MI. McCain's staff several weeks
ago.
Park Residents Protest,
Mr.. Mccain said he would do
so next week. He said he also
would order legal study, prior
to the meeting, of another seri-
Gus complication to the road
fight.
The new complication is a
protest by residents against con-
struction of the proposed inter-
county belt freeway-as we'll as
the Route 240 leg-through a
section of Rock Creek Park be-
tween Wisconsin avenue and
Forest Glen.
The citizens, who live in sub
divisions bordering the park
area, challenge the Planning
Commissions authority to have
approved use of the park for the
belt highway. The park section
approved by the planners for the
belt road is the same section
from which they want to ban
the Route 240 leg.

Benefit From
Social Security

AS part OF their insurance pro-
lection, at least 8 million self
employed persons soon will be
able to point with confidence to
Federal old-age and survivors in
surance.
l.. This has been pointed out by
Stanton S. Thompson, manager
of the Great Falls Social Secur-
ity office. They will have full
credit for their self-employment
earnings after 1850 and so are
fully insured for u ture pay
ments as soon as. they file their
final 1852 income tax returns. To
stay insured, they must continue
to report their earnings and pay
the social security tax once ev-
cry year.
Among beneficiaries of social
security now coming in on the
rolls, the average retirement
payment to a man without de-
pendents is $65 a month; for an
aged couple the average is about
$lO3 a month, and to a widow
with two children, in the neigh
! borhood of $3.50 a month.
Thompson urged all self-em-
ployed to keep accurate records
and to be sure that the correct
social security NUMBER and occu-
patton are shown on the tax re-
turns and attached Schedule Ca
as submitted. T h is Schedule
Ca should be attached to all in
come tax r. tn ms showing net
profit from unemployment of
at least $4O0 in a year.
! Thompson also pointed out that
since social security credits are
based on accurate tax returns, it
! is greatly to the self-employed
persons own interest that the
return be entirely correct.
