The Letter Box

EDITOR
Montgomery County Sentinel
Last week, 1 outlined in your
paper my views on what consti-
tute election issues this year as
they pertain to Montgomery Coun-
ty. Below, I should like to state
my opinion on issues at the state
level. @
The terms of office of the CounT
ty Assessor and his. assistants
should be strictly limited by law,
as is that of the State Tax Com
missioners, which is six years: A
simple amendment to the statute
would cure that. Why, we don't
give our judges a life term in this
County! These purely clerical SER
wants brag that they are in for
lifel So we are told. In fact, they
should be elected.
The statute should be amended
so that maximum assessments
should be 500 of fair value. That
automatically would crimp the in
fiationists and spenders, for, re-
CARELESS of the tax rapes of the
last few years, they could hardly
plug for doubling the tax rate.
The State kickback and tax
equalization should be killed. 1t
has not worked and can't. Too
many politicians in the game. Too
many jobs. Too impractical. Too
much administration. We alone in
Montgomery County are concerned
in our tares and rates, and only
should be.
Also, the Maryland Declaration
of Rights should be amended to
give the inhabitants of Maryland
the same rights in searches and
seizures that Article w and Ar
ticle XIV of the Federal Bill of
Rights grants, which rights are
recognized in the Federal juris-
diction and in many States. The
Bouse act and it's discriminatory
amendments, and the rulings of
the Md. Court of Appeals SEEM
ingly leave the Maryland inhabi-
tants without the Due Process
projections above mentioned. We
want protection by Constitutional
or statute law in Maryland, so that
a policeman can't stop us on the
public street or highway, when we
are not apparently violating the
law, search us, take our property,
before arrest, without search or
arrest warrant, and introduce evil
dence in such a manner obtained
in court against US. 1t is futile to
say that the policeman is himself
violating the law, is indictable and
liable to civil damages. Where are
we to get the money to pay the
lawyers to prosecute the. cases ?
This situation in Maryland is in a
mess, and somebody in the legisla-
ture should take it in hand and get
corrective action. 1t won't hamper
the police a bit; all they need is
proper instruction and be required
to get the proper warrants.
1t is time that the telephone
rates be stopped in the semiannual
rise. Since apparently even the
highest courts are in a quandary as
to what the proper basis is for
computing rates, etc, perhaps the
Legislature should make up its
mind. In Maryland, the present re-
placement method obtains. This is
simply and pure following the in
flationary tendency Of the late So
cialistic regimes.
There are questions about the
powers of the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles in respect to driv-
ing licenses.
There are questions about sue

cesslon IN office. Permanently in
office should receive constant and
increasing attention; for want of
the ills that we are current, as a
nation, and on down through, can
be attributed to the Roosevelt
dynasty and it's jocund heir the
Truman Participate as Paterfami-
LASH
We need some men to run this
County. Are there enough in the
County to fill the bill? We shall
see. Of course, all politics is a mat
ter of compromise, as is all life
and living. But right now we need
less compromise and more hard
Readiness, more purposefulness and
less drifting, a few candidates who
know what they want, where they
would like to go, and the fortitude
to get out and make a fight for
what they know one day must be
done.
George Albert Moore
Montgomery County Sentinel
Editor,
The purpose of this letter is to
invite attention to the unsatisfac-
tory condition of Southlawn Lane
Road. This is an obscure road To-
Gated between Horners Lane and
Avery Road. 1 am living in a
house I own just one mile from
the city limits of Rockville. 1t is
difficult and not safe to drive into
Rockville in the best of weather.
At many points it is virtually i'm
possible for two cars to pass one
another on the road. There are
two very treacherous and danger
Gus curves on this road. There
have been several serious accidents
at these curves.
We do not have mail delivered,
though there are enough people to
justify it, on account of the road
condition. 1t is very hard to get
services from any business firm
in Rockville because of the road
condition. The children in the vi
cinity have to walk a mile to get
the school bus, as the buses will
not drive in on account of the
condition of the road.
During the recent snow storm
the people who live in here and
hold responsible positions in Wash
ington have had to drive in at the
risk of their lives. / have had this
house rented, but find it impossible
to get satisfactory tenants, all be-
cause of the road. My understand
ing is that this has been called to
the attention of the Montgomery
County Council several times in
the last few years.
In October 1852 the property
owners appeared before the Coun-
Gil and were encouraged to believe
that their request would receive
favorable early action. Before Oc-
tober 1853 rolled around, when
they again appeared before the
Council, inquiries at the Public
Works Department disclosed that
no money was provided in the cur
rent budget for this project.
For the reasons set forth above,
/ would appreciatp voilr ruhlishino.

of the public minded citizens of

AMg The
POTOMAC
BY Dewitt S. Hyde

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. II
have just been informed by Chair
man Chauncey Reed of the House
Judiciary Committee of my APP
pointment to his important sub
committee No. 1, which has juris-
diction over all immigration and
nationality matters coming before
Congress.
The more study President
Eisenhower's plan to strip citizen
ship from convicted Communist
conspirators, the better it looks.
When the President made the
proposal in his States of the Union
message, some confusion developed
over the impression that convicted
felons are always denied the right
to vote, etc., hence there was moth
ing now in the plan.
After chucking with top legal
authorities in the White House and
the Justice Department, I am able
to report the facts of the case.
It's true that convicted robbers
and murderers and the like are de-
MED the right to vote, serve on
juries, or hold public office. Since
1910 we've had the Smith Act,
which makes it a crime to conspire
to advocate the overthrow of the
government and the people convict
ed under the Smith Act have been
treated like any other felons.
But President Eisenhower, who
evidently knows how to really get
touch with the Communists, would
put them in the position of volun-
tarily expatriating themselves if
they take part in such a conspiracy.
1t puts them in the same spot as
convicted traitors, draft evaders, or
deserters from the Armed Forces.
Expatriates are men without
country. If they stay in the
United States, they are treated like
aliensthey always have to keep the
governmental notified of where they
are, and some states won't even let
them own property or engage in
certain business activities. And if
they ever leave the country, they
can never get back in.
! There is another twist to this
that very few people realize. If
convicted conspirator had any chill
dren who happened to be born out
side the United States, and his wife
was not a citizen, the children
might find it extremely difficult to
get the American citizenship to
which they would otherwise be en-
titled upon reaching Fl. Thus the
stigma of participating in con-
spiracy against our nation could be
passed along, and l think there
should be an exemption in any
Forthcoming law to prevent this.
Senator Margaret Smith has al
ready introduced a bill to carry out
President Eisenhower's request. In
my opinion it deserves the support
of every Senator and Congressman
regardless of his party.
Next Wednesday I will be the
guest of the American Legion at its
annual Congressional dinner in
Washington's Mayflower Hotel.

It's expensive to be poor, the

of moderate means is tempted, or
even forced, to seek a long-term
mortgage. A loan grows bigger
with every passing month as in
terest charges swell the total debt.
