Congressman
REP. DEWITT S, HYDE

l. In my office l have nothing
to do with State aid to Montgom
cry County, but l have worked
hard to obtain Federal money for
aid to the schools in Montgomery
County under the so-called I'm.
pact Area" bill. Enclosed is copy
of my latest statement before
the House during a debate on the
appropriations bill for the De.
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare.
2. Again, a matter of import
ing or not importing light indus
tries into Montgomery County is
not something with which a re-
preventative has anything to do
officially.
3. The same applies to the
matter of Home Rule for MUM
cipalities.
a. What should a public official
say on the matter of non-segrega-
ton of schools? The Supreme
Court has already ruled that
segregation is invalid - that is
now the law of the land. AS to
the method for changing from
segregation to indignation -
how and when that has to be
done = is still under considera-
ton by the Supreme Court; and
what community must do about
it will have to await that deci-
sion.
5. l am generally in favor of
the Benson program for the
farmers, which, in the very broad
sense, means gradually getting
away from the price support
system. l emphasize the word
gradually" because in many in.
stances too abrupt change
might do serious harm to our
economy and bankrupt many of
our farmers.
6. 1t is hard to say why I am
running for office. Primarily
one runs for office because he is
interested in the work and he
likes the honor of being chosen
by the people to hold high
office.

Democrats and Republicans
Answer Sentinel Questions

All candidates who will be
voted for by Montgomery County
balioters on Primary Day -
June % were asked six
loaded" questions by the Sen
tinel last week.
The questions were: % What
are your plans for State aid to
Montgomery County? (2) How
do you feel about importing light
industry to ease the tax load on
home owners? 90 How do you
stand on "home rule? "a What
is your opinion on non-segrega-
ton? (5) Where does the farmer
stand in your program, and (6)
Basically, why are you running
for office?
Following are the answers re-
ceived. Other replies will be pub
lished next week, in time for
Sentinel readers to decide the
men they want to represent them.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1954-06-17

limitations is good but not where
it is intermingled with either
county or State matters. Hereto
fore, there has been entirely too
much time consumed by your
representatives to the State
Legislature to debate and deter
mine a purely local town or NUM-
cipality problem. This will allow
more time for State and county
consideration.
4. see no reason to express
an opinion about non-segregation
of schools. The Supreme Court
has said there shall be no further
segregation and with that ulti-
matum, all of us should do every
thing in our power to see 1t
carried forward equitably, fairly,
and with justice to all. l expect
to do just that.
5. Today farming is a big bust
ness and with the high standards
of living costs, etc, it must be
operated efficiently to provide a
profit in the same manner as any
ohter business. Governmental
regulations are equaliZed by re-
search departments in one of the
finest colleges in our nation -
the University of Maryland -
through its extension services
every known aid and advice is
offered. l will endeaVor to con-
tinue and further this service.
6. l am running for this office
because I sincerely feel l am
sufficiently qualified to do so.
Having lived in the county all my
life and with my own family, l
expect to stay here. l under
stand its needs, its desires and
the ideas and attitudes of its
residents. After nearly twenty
years as a lawyer, l think am
qualified to serve as a member
of the General Assembly that
prepares and passes on the legis-
lation affecting the county and
the State of Maryland.

Governor
THEODORE r. McKELDIN

l. An official elected on a
Statewide basis does not, of
course, plan State aid for a par
ticular county. In the coming
fiscal year beginning July /,
1854 the State will return to
counties and municipalities more
than $87 100000. The Green
Commission on Public School
Needs continues its studies, par
ticularly in regard to the assist.
ance the State may be required
to give the Counties in providing
new school buildings. 1t is quite
possible that additional State aid
may result from its findings.
2. Bringing industry in o
Maryland always is desirable,
and has been a constant aim of
this Administration. In areas
that are primarily residential and
not suited to heavy industry, it
is highly desirable that light in
dustries be established to i'm
prove the general economic con-
dition, provided the labor force is
available in or near these parti-
cular communities.
3. Home Rule has been among
my prime detectives. l success
fully urged the passage of the
Constitutional Amendment to in
crease Home Rule for Municipali-
ties in the most recent session of
the Legislature, and now l am
campaigning for its ratification
by the voters in November.
Home Rule for Counties con-
tinues among the top issues on
my list of detectives.
A. The Supreme Court of the
United States has Interpreted the
Constitution of the United States
as outlawing segregation in our
public schools. The Maryland
State Constitution, which / am
sworn to uphold, prescribes that
the United States Constitution
and laws made under its author
ity shall be the Supreme Law
of the State"
5. Because Of the broad, inter
State nature of the business of
farming, price supports and most
other matters of farm economy
are and must remain primarily a
matter of Federal Government
concern. However, this Admins
tration always has kept the far
mer in mind in formulating
major policies in proposing major
legislation. Example: The anti
cipation in our new 12-year Roads
Program that approximately
$182, 100000 will be allocated for
improvement and maintenance of
County roads systems, a consider.
able part of which are farmto-
market roads.

State Senator
EDWARD $. NORTHROP

l. 1t is of paramount import
ance that Montgomery County
receive a larger portion of the
various taxes paid by residents
of the county to the State. Some
time ago the Sherbow legislation
was enacted which distributed
to the counties and municipalities
a portion of various taxes such
as income, racing, auto tags, etc,
The percentage of distribution is
obviously not enough particularly

/ 2. feel that certain types of
light industry should be encour-
aged to set up within this county,
but would like to see long range
overall coming plan which would
accept such types of industry.
3. Greater home rule should be
encouraged; this would relieve
the counties of the long wait to
get minor local bills through the
legislature and would decrease
the time spent on such matters by
the State legislators.
4. Prior to the recent Supreme
Court decision, l was, for many
reasons, opposed to non-segrega-
ton and had SO stated publicly.
However, as practicing lawyer,
l am bound to recognize the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court as
being interpretive of the claw OF
the land.
5. The farmer to me represents
the most important group of citi-
zens upon which our whole
country must rely for our daily
necessities. His problems will
always be seriously considered in
my thinking and when faced
with any of his problems, l would
always consult with a representa-.
tive group before taking any
action.
6. l have always taken a
great interest in government and
have particularly made a study
of legislation Being especially
interested in the problems of this
county and feeling that I am as
well qualified as the other candi-
dates to represent the people OF
Montgomery County, I decided to
file for this office.
JOHN b. DIAMOND III
1. Determine, correct and
equaliZe present method of real
estate assessment so that our
county gets a fair proportion of
the annual equalization fund.
The same is true for our proper
tionate share of the State Sales
Tax, as well as all other taxes
paid directly to the State.
2. am in favor of forms of
light industry to ease the present
heavy burden on individual home
owners, provided it does not
interfere with existing coming
regulations. My information is
that the residents themselves are
at fault for not permitting the
necessary rezoning for this type
of business. If the public under
stands what is to be gained and
that it will tighten the tax load,
I think this can be accomplished.
In addition, it will solve an ever
existing labor employment pro-
blem for those who must go else
where to work but who reside
here.
3. Home rule, subject to certain

Gil the power of appointment to
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission (this bill vetoed
by the Governor).
a. The recent Supreme Court
Ruling makes non-segregation a
fact and not a subject of opinion
l think the thing to do now is
for everyone to work together to
try and accomplish Indignation
without stirring up violence and
racial hatred. 1t is not an easy
job and one which needs the CO
operation of everyone.
5. The farmer represents q
large segment of the Montgom
cry County population and
consider that l am working for
him on all legislation which
affects Montgomery County. On
the State level there have beer
no particular measures other
than the increase in the tax ex
emption of farm implements
which l supported.
6. Speaking very frankly be-
cause l enjoy politics.
JULIAN p. KING
1. State aid to the county is
quite an involved question. Pre-
sent formula, our contribution on
State level is so much out of pro.
portion to return, that to just ask
for larger return to counties
would only make our burden
greater. Needs very serious
study. Maybe whole tax struc
ture needs changing.
2. Definitely yes.
3. Have always supported
Home Rule.
4. 1t was bound to come. Let
it be orderly and without
hysteria.
5. Have always defended far
mers best interests. Witness the
so called King Amendment rela.
tive to farm truck tags and the
increase in tax exemption on
farm machinery.
6. Because of insisting of great
number of my constituents who
know my legislative record.

1. The most pressing need fac.
ing us is that of obtaining an
increase in State aid for school
construction in Montgomery
County. will support the neces-
sary legislation.
2. 1 am in favor of bringing
into Montgomery County appro-
pirate light industries, to the ex-
tent that this can be accom-
plished without impairing the
residential character of the coun-
ty. This would serve to broaden
the county's tax base, thereby
easing the tax burden on home
owners.
3. We have the "home rule"
type of government in this coun-
ty. There is no campaign issue
presented in this regard.
4. The Supreme Court of the
United States has spoken on this
question.
5. No particular need for legis-
lation in regard to the farmer
has been called to my attention,
but when and if presented, will
give it most sympathetic consid-
Grafton.
6. l am running for the House
of Delegates because I want to
serve the people of this county
in helping to solve some of the
problems facing them and to fur
Their their welfare through legis-
lation that looks to their future
needs.
b. HOUSTON McCENEY
/. l would work particularly
hard for legislation and State

for Montgomery County the State
aid to which it is entitled, but has
not been able to obtain, by
reason of the amount of revenue

DEAR MISS NISSEN: ! am
very much In love with
Martha, q lady ! have known
for three years. She's rs and ]
am ~. Her father is the Stun
bling block to our marriage.
She lives with him and is, in
fact, his chief support. He can
work when he wants to. He
has a good trade, but he
spends every nickel he makes
on liquor. Martha takes care of
him between jobs. and nurses
him when he's sick or drunk.
He is determined. apparently
to keep her with him no mat
ter how much she wants to get
married. He intercepts many
letters from me and forbids
her to write. OF course she
doesn't obey him In this, but
at best I don't hear from her
very often. I'm sure it isn't

right for her to give up every
chance Of happiness so she
can take care of a drunkard.
C. D.
ANSWER: Martha's father
knows a good racket when he
has one. Being supported.
fed, clothed and nursed by an
efficient and handwriting
daughter is a sinecure he won't
relinquish without a struggle.
Martha's sense of duty is un-
derstandable, too. She probably
feels-and is probably right
that her father would become
a derelict If some one didn't
make an attempt to keep him
sober. The problem then is,
should a young woman sacri-
flee her happiness, her chance
for usefulness in the world, to
minister to a man who is COM
pletely without self respect. In
my opinion, Martha's father
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-07

has forfeited his right to such
consideration and the girl
should go ahead and marry.
In order to convince her, you
may have to emulate the
knights Of old who are now
such popular movie subjects.
Ride UP and grab her. A good
shock may even be the means
of bringing Dad to his senses.
With his prop taken away he'll
have to stand alone and the
effort may be the making Of
him. Perhaps the aid of a
trusted friend, doctor. lawyer
or minister. may help you
convince Martha that Dad viii
get worse If she continues to
support and serve him. Take
any means available-but get
the girl.
