A long anticipated meeting be-
tween the County Council and
4 the Personnel Board, as well as
Wits results, were shrouded in
secrecy Tuesday as the two
bodies met over the conference
table in the new county build

The off-the-record session CHM
aXed series of clashes between
the two bodies over the Person
mel Boards handling of matters
relating to police department af-
fairs.
Tuesdays session was set up
on order of Council President
Harold F. Hammond after it was
publicly disclosed at a council
meeting that the board had per-
mitted a hearing on a dismissed
policeman's appeal of his firing
to run until after 2 o'clock in the
morning.
Diplomacy Out
At that time the council threw
aside its diplomacy and soundly
raped the boards conduct of the
hearing. Councilman Louis A.
Gravelle termed the situation
Shocking"
Mr.. Gravelle and other coun-
cilmen were especially peeved
because about a dozen promin-
ent county residents were forced
to sit outside the hearing on the
dismissal and then were not
heard personally as character
witnesses for the dismissed Of
ficer.
After the councils blast, the
Personnel Board invited and
heard nearly a dozen of the wit
nesses at another session on the
dismissal.

anticipated fireworks when the
council began questioning the

Citizens to
Name Slate
For May
New Political Force
Looms in Rockville
AS Group Meets

Inc CltlZenS For GOod Govern
ment Committee was officially
launched as a political force in
Rockville Monday night when
more than 60 members of the
Committee met at the County
Building Auditorium and set up
machinery which is expected to
produce slate of candidates for
town elections in May.
Herman Hartman, temporary
chairman of the Committee, pro-
duced a flying wing of workers
who did the spade work in or
ganizing the group. They out
lined plans for holding a nominal
ing convention this week.
The convention, a new note in
Rockville's political life, will
function in much the manner of
national conventions and those
attending will cast ballots for
"favorite sons" until a slate is
agreed upon.
During the four-hour, high
strategy get-together of the group
Monday, Hartman said Is promi-
nent residents from all sections
of town have been invited to at
tend the convention and have
been asked to drop names of will
ing and eligible candidates into
the election hat.
The 10 are not members of the
Good Government Committee,
Hartman pointed out, but are rep
resentative of the COMMUNICATE
large. Hartman said the group
that kicked off the Good Govern
ment Committee did not want to
present candidates entirely of its
own choosing. He said a slate Sc
lected by a broad, cross-section of
residents was evidence of the
groups democratic approach to
naming candidates for mayor and
council. -
L Names of persons not members
of the Committee who will attend
the convention would not be
given premature publicity, Hart
man added, in order that the con.
vention can assemble free of pres
sures from special interests or
from political machinery which
has kept a firm hand on slate
nominations in the town.
In response to some pressure
in the Committee which would
have had the group name and
support only slate of its own
choosing, Hartman explained it
was the consensus of opinion in
the new organization that 1--WE
don't care who is elected as long
as they are honest and capable
men,"
During the meeting it was
agreed that the Committee would
send four delegates to the con-
vention who would offer candi-
dates along with others who will
attend the nominating conclave.
Those named to represent the
Good Government Committee are
Watson Phillips, David L. Cahoon,
Frank Ecker, and Harry Archer.
Only those persons who have
been invited to participate in the
nomination and members of the
press will attend the nominating
meeting.
In the meantime, Hartman
named a pl t f m committee
which will, in conjunction with
prospective candidates, DIR TT
planks which will present and
solidify the Committees aims and
principles. The preliminary plat
form will be presented to the en-
tire committee, now ITO strong, at
a meeting scheduled for February
%. The Platform Committee is
headed by Mike Davis.

Beer Sale
By County
Gaithersburg Dealers
Air Sales Trouble
At Council Meeting

Beer sales instituted two weeks
ago at the Gaithersburg Dispen-
sary have cut the sales of one
private dealer in half and threaten
to drive the towns five restaur-
ant operators out of business,
the County Council was told
Tuesday.
What's more, said Frank Ciar-
rochi, who owns a restaurant
next door to the new dispensary,
beer sales at the rural dispen-
sary are a violation of an "agree-
ment" between former County
Manager Irving C. McNayr and
the towns businessmen who
backed establishment of the dis
pensary in the belief it would not
sell beer.
Councilman Grover Walker, a
resident of Gaithersburg, backed
the restaurant operator. He said
he voted for the dispensary after
similar assurances from McNayr.
Walker and Lathrop Smith, of
Travilah, differed sharply. Smith
said he had understood that beer
would not be sold at the county
store "for awhile" For the first
light months of operation, it
didn't sell beer. He supported
beer sales because it increases
the county's profits and helps
cut taxes, he said.
Two weeks ago Edward T.
Beall, the new county manager,
and James F. Erwin, head of the
department of liquor control,
agreed to sell beer in the rural
town latter several prominent
people requested it."
Ciarrochi complained that beer
sales by the county are unfair to
private dealers even if the dis.
pensary sells only by the case.
He pointed out that he must buy
from the county's warehouse
which makes a % percent profit
on the deal. Because it has al
ready made profit, he said, the
County adds only another II
percent profit on the beer it re
tails over the counter.
But the private merchant can't
operate on only a II percent pro
fit, and he must therefore sell
his beer at a higher price thar
the dispensary next door, he
stated.
The restaurant operator also
poinetd out that dealers in neigh
boring Jurisdictions make as
much as AZ percent profit, and
can still sell their wares cheaper
than he can.
At the same meeting, the
Council was told by Erwin that
the dispensary system has netted
the County Sc million in profits
since it was established. with a
100000 bond issue 20 years ago
Profits the first year amounted
to S87, 1903. Last year, the county
made S738,373 and expect profits
to top 100000 this year.
Councilmen also questioned
why the dispensary system car
ries more than 100000 worth Of
inventories at its stores and still
keeps its operating revolving
fund at the legal limit of 100000
County Manager Edward T.
Beall replied it was not advise
able to tie up the operating fund
in inventories and the only other
alternative was to convert the
inventory into cash at the end OF
each fiscal year and let dispen
sary shelves become bare OF mer'
chandise.
Beall was asked to look into
the matter and report to the
council.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor
 1 Last weekend we celebrated the Fourth of July which years ago marked the beginning of a government whose dedication to and continued success in re- cognizing human dignity and individual freedom has no his torical or contemporary equal. Such virtually unlimited free dom is a priceless heritage tobe enjoyed to the fullest, but it is also a sober challenge to our conception of the rights and privileges of others. Laws and ordinances, however, at all levels of government are a bleak testimonial to the fact that many individuals moral. ity just doesn't provide for self restraint on behalf of the com mon good = and that brings us to Kodiak.
 In 1946 our City Council evidenced it's recognition of the dangers inherent infire- works with an ordinance for bidding their sale within the City limits. Inasmuch as such perlls have never been known to respect boundary lines, one would expect apparently re- sponsible citizens to exercise a little intelligence and extend the far-sighted spirit of the law into those areas immune to the letter of the law.
 To get down to cases-th there was no need for fireworks to have been sold at the Anton Larson Bay picnic lastSunday. With wanton disregard for salty of our youth and sin. gular regard for profit, fire works were sold to all ages and we can merely thank our luckily stars that the reckless manner in which they were exploded didn't result in iu-s .juries.
 Let us hope that in the future we won't be denied the pleasure of witnessing an en-
