laundry business occupied most
of his time. His father owned and
operated the Ambassador Laun-
dry until his death in l945 when
Mr.. Cook took over and con-
tinued the business for four
more years.
Since moving to Damascus, he
has taken active part on civic
committees in planning and 7on-
ing matters and has become Sec
retary of the Damascus Lions
Club. In World War II, he was
a civilian instructor in laundry
procedure at the Philadelphia

U. 5. TO Pay Saving
On Indo.China Truce
Into Colombo Plan
By the Assoeiofed Press

OTTAWA, Oct. 8.-The United
States announced today it will
devote part of the savings arising
from the ending of the Indo-
China war to projects within the
Colombo Plan.
Harold Stassen, chief of the
United States Foreign Opera
tions Administration, announced
this at a news conference just
prior to entering the Colombo
Plan ministerial meeting. where
he will make the same statement.
In the three years before the
recent armiStice in Indo-C China,
the United States sent the
French and loyal Wet Namese
about a billion dollars worth
of military supplies.
Shipments going to Indo-
China at the time of the armi-
stice were being financed by a
$500 million aid program author
lied by Congress, in 1858. About
S308 million worth of arms had
been allocated to the French for
the fiscal year beginning July /,
1854. In addition, a bill passed
by the House in the early sum-
mer authorized an $500 million
fund for the defense of Jndo-
China. Under the bill. the money
could be used elsewhere in
SOUTHEAST Asia, if French re-
sistance collapsed in Indo-China
Mr.. Stassen said he could not
estimate how much the new
United States contribution will
amount to. but he said his world
wide budget for the current year
is S4.5 billion and that at least
half will be devoted to Asian
commitments, both military and
economic.
The Colombo plan, a program
of mutual economic aid launched
at Colombo, Ceylon, in 1948, in
cludes these members: India,
Burma, PakiStan, IndoneSia,
Ceylon. Australia, Canada, Laos,
Malaga, Nepal. New Zealand,
Singapore, the United Kingdom,
the United States and South Wet
Nam. Japan and Thailand were
admitted last Tuesday. The
Philippines is an observer nation.

own area. Besides his real es-
tate and insurance business in
Damascus. he also operates a
farm that has been in his family
for 80 years. In 1948, he was
elected as a county delegate to
the State Democratic convention.
He is a past president of the
Damascus Lions Club and a for
mer vice president of the county
Farm Bureau. He formerly was
chairman of the County Com
mittee of the Farm Home Ad-
miniStration and one-time vice
president of the National Farm
Loan Association. He has been
active also in both the Damascus
and Laytonsville Volunteer Fire
Departments.
He is married, has a grown
daughter and one grandson.

Their Views

Both believe taxes and assess
ments could be lowered by OBJ
tanning additional revenue from
other sources. Each feels that
attraction of light industry to
the county under controlled
planning and zoning might be
the answer Mr.. Cook, like other
Republicans, believes more aid
would be forthcoming from the
State if property assessments
were uniform throughout the
State. Mr.. Williams follows the
Democratic platform of pledging
continued efforts to get increased
State and Federal aid for school
construction and fairer share
of State school equalization
funds.
The two candidates favor a
master zoning plan for the
county. Mr.. Cook opposes the
proposed temporary zoning Or
dinance for the upper county and
favors instead up-county repre-
sentation on a single planning
group for the whole county. A
similar view is expressed by Mr..
Williams who says he opposes
the up-county plan in it's present
form and doesn't want some
thing forced on the people they
don't want"
Mr.. Cook, in his campaign, is
putting emphasis on a county
