sued course of pulling more
and more people into an entang
ling alliance.
eff such leadership is so un
concerned with the well-being OF
its own supporters, I wonder
what the city of Rockville can
expect from its hands?"
eff this is the kind of leader
ship which is endeavoring to sell
Rockville citizens on its plan fol
efficient, economical, and sound
government, 1 very definitely
question the worth of that plan
and state that I have grave
doubts for Rockville'S progress
in the next two years if they win
this election.

At the same time, Hit said
"a good many charges of serious
nature, as well as a good many
important questions have beer
placed at the door of the Coco
Government candidates and their
steam roller organization by 9th
err candidates and by the present
city administration.
ut seems to me-" Hit added
"that the people who run the
Good Government organization
either are arrogant to the eX
IRENE in their apparent contempt
for Rockville residents, or they
know their answers would serve
as an indictment of no small pro
portions"
Hit said he "deplores this ut
ter contempt the Good Govern
ment candidates have for public
opinion" and that in protest "tiie
straight-thinking citizens OF
Rockville should now demand
that the Good Government candi
dates answer the charges and
questions which have been put
to them"
Mr.. Hit said he has no per
sonal quarrel with any candidate
on the Good Government slate
'but if these candidates are ever
to live up to the lofty concept OF
government which they preach
they should Immediately unseat
their strategists and leaders eor
withdraw from this campaign.
The Question
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Hit
in his statement to the Sentinel
that another candidate for may
or in this election, ]. Warren
Milor, has stated publically that
he thinks the Good Government
candidate for mayor should tell
the people of Rockville whether
or not his government job pro.
vides enough free hours for him
to serve this community as it
should be served.
while I dislike assuming a
me-too position in this election,
no matter how minor; I too feel
that the citizens of Rockville
have a right to expect a firm,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES an
swer from candidate Hovsepian,"
Hit asserted. ~ IL JUUo

should, at all times, be accessible
to the people. 1t is my under.
standing that Mr.. Hovsepian has
an important job with the Army
Map Service. An important job
with this kind of federal agency
certainly has first call on Mr..
Hovsepian's services. I can only
assume, but properly, I think,
that if the mayors presence were
necessary in Rockville and also
necessary at his government job
Rockville would be the loser
when Mr.. Hovsepian had to make
such a decision"
1 also think, Hit stated, ''that
the head of our town government
should be a man familiar with
the entire community and its
problems. do not think Mr.. How
sepian qualities in this respect
he added.
$50 far as I can see, the Coco
Government candidates plans
for administering Rockville's gov
eminent are theoretical in char
acter and show complete lack Of
ability to come down to the leve
of everyday life in our town."
In view of these things, Hit
said, "Mr. Hovsepian's continue
ton in his role of candidate fol-
mayor can only result in his com
plete establishment and his re
pudiation by the voters on cleo
ton day."
