Four Fire
House Sites
.Denied by
Council

Without prior public discus.
sion, the county council Tuesday
announced it had reached the
conclusion" that none of four
sites proposed for relocating the
Silver Spring fire house was ac.
ceptable.
The councils disclosure of
reaching its decision behind
closed doors came shortly after
Gov. McKeldin signed bill pro-
hibiting any county council or
agency from adopting rules, re-
gulations or laws while in ex.
ecutive session.
Council President pro tenn,

"the press might be interested in

Asked when the council had
reached such a conclusion Mr..
Gravelle replied he did not think
the question was "germaine."
After reporters questioned the
propriety of such a statement
which in effect was an action
denying the rejecting the sites,
Mr.. Gravelle said the council
would go through the motions
next Tuesday to formalize the
action.
The controversial fire house
move has been on the fire for

Democrats Predict
Roosevelt Will Give
Big Lift 10 Ticket

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Demo-
Gratis today hailed the nomina-
ton of Representative Franklin
D. Roosevelt, jr.. for State Attor-
ney General and predicted he
would give their ticket big lift
in the November election.
The son Of the late President,
defeated by Averell Hartman
for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, accepted the third place on
the slate yesterday and was nomi-
mated unanimously last night In
the wind-up of the two-day con-
vention.
Both Mr.. Roosevelt, 40, and
Mr.. Hartman, 81, received
rounds of applause when they
posed together for cameramen.
Called Smart Move.
One Democrat, who asked not
to be identified, said Mr.. Roose-
velt's decision to take subordi-
nate place on the ticket-he de-
clined to accept nomination for
Lieutenant Governor was q
smart move.
The lieutenant governorship
is a comparatively. inactive "vice
presidential'' post, but the At
torney General has a chance to
keep in the public eye with drives
against crime.
If the Democrats lose, the
Democrat said. Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot be blamed. If they win,
he added, Mr.. Roosevelt can
claim that he was materially re-
sponsible for the victory.
Mr.. Roosevelt must decline his
nomination as candidate for
reelection as Democrat-Liberal
Representative from the goth
Congressional District, on New
York's West Side.
The Liberal Party. organized
only. in New York State, often
has. backed Democratic candi-
dates in national, State and local
elections. It sometimes has
backed Republican nominees and
at other times has run candi-
dates of its own.
Mr.. Hartman is expected to be
nominated by the Liberal Party
at It's State convention TODAY.
G. o. p. to Indorse Ives:
At Syracuse, N. Y. today the
Republican State convention
was set to indorse Senator Irv-
ing M. Ives for Governor.
Senator Ives has Endorsed
State Controller j. Raymond
McGovern for the Lieutenant
Governor spot on his ticket. But

General post. Some favor Rep
