paper through their purchase of
advertising space.
Besides these similarities, We
would fail to recognize the full
importance'@of these forums to
our liberty, were we to neglect
our standards. Yes, uniform
standards are fundamental to
the successful commerce and in
dustry that has helped to guaran-
tee our freedom.
1t was in the Roman forum
where uniform standards for
weight and measurement were
first evolved. Newspapers, too,
have played an important role in
establishing uniform standards
used in auditing, reporting and
measuring circulation audiences.
In 1914, newspapers Joined with
advertisers, advertising agencies
and periodicals in establishing .,
bureau OF circulation standards
the Audit Bureau of Calculations
= for the advertising and pub,
fishing industry.
The Sentinel plays an active
role as an A. B. C. member in
voluntarily upholding and main,
tanning these circulation stand
ards which are so important in
our relations with our adver'
tisers. Important, also, to the
editorial quality of our paper.
The Sentinel is proud of its
part, in association with other
newspapers, in earning the
slogan, Your Newspaper -
Freedoms Forum"

Montgomery County Sentinel:

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
Your announcement in the Sep
TENDER 2, 1854, issue of the Sen
tinel that Howard Lewis, former
editor of the u. S. and Us col
umn in the Washington Times
Herald, would be writing a week
ly roundup of government news
for Montgomery Countians inter-
ested me very much. After read
ing the first three of Mr.. Lewis
articles, I wish to make some
comments thereon.
AS Finance and Budget Officer
for the U. S. Civil Service Com
mission through June 80, 1852,
it was my pleasant duty to re-
spond to inquiries from Mr.. Lew
is respecting finance, retirement,
conditions of employment, Salar-
les, work projects, and many 9TH
er matters of interest to govern
ment employees and the public
generally. During his entire tour
of duty as editor of the U. S. and
Us column, l came to know Ho-
ward Lewis as an exceptionally
intelligent and alert newspaper
man. I genuinely admire his pro-
fessional integrity and his desire
to report facts as accurately as
possible.
Permit me to extend to you
my congratulations for securing
the services of Howard Lewis as
a member of the Sentinel staff.
This is a news service which 1
am convinced your subscribers
will enjoy.
In closing, 1 desire to extend
to Howard Lewis, through you,
my best wishes for the profess
sional success which 1 am con-
fident he will rapidly attain. The
opportunity to evaluate the mat
tiers of interest to government
employees and the public gener-
ally, and to report thereon week
ly, should enable Howard Lewis
to do an excellent job of report
ing facts in their proper perspec.
tive.

Gamblers
Continued from Page y

Washington police have snuff
ed out the ence,flourishing mum.
bers racket in recent years. and
Prince Georges County police
have been cooperating.
Montgomery County never has
been playground of numbers
racketeers, although two -"big
operators" who. took bets on the
phone have been arrested in the
past couple of years.
No scandal, though, ever
touched Montgomery County.
Two weeks ago, Washington's
police chief, Robert V. Murray,
revealed that police captain and
detective had been seized on
charges of protecting" gam
blerS. .,-.- +.
Thirteen gamblers were round
ed up after the sensational case
broke, including Roger white
top Simkims, boss of a big share
of the Washington numbers bust
ness.
The informant, an ex-convict,
who has hung onto the fringe of
a "bigtime" label for years in
Washington, said he was "out of
the rackets."
He volunteered his information,
he said, because he wanted to see
rival numbers kings take fall"
as he has done.
II don't know if they could get
into Montgomery" he said, "but
if they do, watch out :. you'll
never get them out"
He added that the Syndicate"

that the Council withhold action
on the law.
All COP candidates except
Louis Gravelle - incumbent who
could not appropriately petition
a body of which is a member" -
asked the Council to shy away
from action on the proposal.
Their statement came after a
jam-packed meeting Thursday in
Richard Montgomery High School
at the county seat.
Some 500 persons turned out
for the Council hearing on the
proposed ordinance.
Most of them were members
or sympathizers of the newly
organized Landowners Associa-
ton of Upper Montgomery
County.
At its regular meeting Tuesday,
the Council remained mum on the
coming question and indications
were that the Landowners Asso-
ciation/ movement had defeated
plans to push through the ordi-
nance before election day, No
vember 2.
Opponents of the measure
termed it "freeze" on UP Coun-
ty development, while proponents
said it is a necessity.
Attorney James R. Miller, re-
presenting the association, said
the proposed ordinance does not
provide for restricting undesir-
able land uses:
"A junk yard would not only
get the stamp of approval under
the law, but would also be given
the right to expand" he claimed.
o. w. Anderson, chairman of
the Landowners group, pointed
out that Up County residents do
not oppose coming or planning,
but that the ordinance as it is
written is "an overdose of both.
Defending the measures were
Thomas c. Kelley, chairman of
the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission, and Fred
erick Gutheim, commission
member.
Kelley said the proposed ordi-
nance would preserve the "agri-
cultural character" of the Upper
County, permit orderly expan-
sion". of existing land uses and
would save the 10 major water
sheds supplying the area.
Gutheim added that coming
controls are necessary because,
among other reasons, the Atomic
Energy Commission is likely to
set up an office Up County
under the Federal dispersal pro-
gram.
Council members made no COM
ment on the measure, but their
failure to act Tuesday caused in
siders to say they probably would
"sit on their hands" until after
election day.

the entire gross salary for those
covered.
Thus, If the recommendations
are accepted, it is clear that those
affected would have A percent
(even more, when the salary is
above the $4,000 leveD less take
home pay than day, because of
the increased deductions for pen
sion purposes.
All of this, officials hasten to
add, is not so bad - in fact, it is
good.
True, those employees brought
under regular civil service retire
ment will have less take-home
pay, but, officials point out, they
will be gaining an investment in
superior pension rights, plus
valuable rights to disability pen.
sions in the event they become
unable to work for physical
reasons (and have at least five
years coverage).
In addition, money invested in
the civil service retirement fund
is returnable under certain condi-
tons to the employee leaving gov
eminent service. Also, he gets
liberal compound interest pay
ments, officials note.
Employees affected, though, are
in for some immediate belt
tightening. The increased deduc-
ton rate, incidentally, is likely to
increase the pressure from en-
ploye groups for a pay raise.
