To Remain
.NOn-Partisan
In Election

In a statement of policy issued
following the regular meeting Of
the directors of the Rockville
Board of Trade Monday evening,
February Is, the business organi-
zation went on record as not en-
dorsing or supporting any candi-
date, slate of candidates, or plat
form in the Rockville city cleo
lions to be held during the first
week in May.
Applying the policy decision
made by the directors, Ralph w.
Baxter, executive director, stated:
while this policy reflects the POI
sition taken by the Board of
Trade as a unit, it does not rep
resent any effort TO control the
position ta3cn by any individual
member OF the Board Of Trade
with respect to any individual
candidate or group of candidates.
He said this statement Is simp-
ly a declaration of the intention
to maintain the already avowed
principle that the position of the
Rockville Board of Trade is nom
partisan and non-political with
respect TO the city elections"

Decision of the Association to
hold fast to a hands-off policy
during the current Juror over
who will take over the non-pay-
ing jobs of mayor and council
men came Monday night when
nearly 200 members met at Twin
brook school and passed a five
point resolution calculated to give
all candidates a fair shake.
The resolution, passed without
dissent, came as a surprise to
some candidates and groups, as
well as just kibitzers who have
claimed first-hand knowledge of
how the important Twinbrook
vote will go in May.
New Voters
All candidates, announced and
potential, are casting questioning
glances in the direction of Twin
brook since the largest increase
in registered voters in the town
this year is expected from that
area.
The five-point resolution, offer
ed by Henry Redkey, Association
president, stated that the Associa-
ton will do all in its power to
encourage citizens to register
and vote. At the same time, it
asserted that the group would
disseminate accurate, unbiased
information concerning the facts
of city government and the prob
lens needing solution"
The resolution stated also "the
group will invite every candi-
date to appear" before it lin open
meeting to present his case and
submit to questioning" and point
ed out that we discriminate In
favor of none"
1t was further resolved that,
as an association, I'VE endorse no
candidates and that above all we
do not permit our organization,
particularly the Block Commit
tee, to be used by any organiza-
ton or candidate for any pur-
pose. All officers and committee
members of the association would
be held accountable for what
they do as representatives of the
Association, and that "they clear
ly distinguish those actions from
what they do as individuals"
the resolution asserted.
Horse.Trading
Mr.. Redkey, prior to offering
his resolution, left the presiding
chair and spoke to the group as
a member"
He said he has been approach
ed by candidates and others, and
that "in one instance there was
an offer to horse-trade two or
three Twinbrook people on a
slate in exchange for support for

At Long Delays
In Code Drafting

Creation of a special taxing
area so rural Montgomery Coun-
ty residents can pay for their
own planning services apparent
ly is on the mind of some County
councilmen.
Councilmen Tuesday brought
up the question as the governing
body turned a critical eye on the
controversial Upper Montgomery
Planning Commission.
The council wanted to know
just what was holding up the
long considered coming code for
the rural area. 1t was told the
planning commission has not yet
prepared for public distribution
the new ordinance, although plans
are in the making for a public
hearing on it late next month.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer-
ner said she thought the present
council should get a chance to
consider the proposed two-year
temporary ordinance before it
goes out of office.
Besides, she said, lack of the
ordinance seems to holding up
building"
Councilman Louis A. Gravelle
and others asked if the Upper
County should not have a special
taxing area like the suburbanites
so they pay their own share of
planning costs.
