The Metcalf group recommend
ed the following steps be taken:
1. That serious charges be
placed against the persons lnvolv-
ed In the racial Incidents.
2. That crowds be dispersed.
3. That state laws be invoked.
4. That the arrestlng officer
place charges against the rioters.
Most members of the group felt
that the mayor and police officials
have not been AZ diligent In their
duties as they might have been.
Many criticized policy which al
lows a policeman to make an ar

place a charge against the party.
They say this has resulted In far
too many disorderly conduct RAJ

Forty Percent

Ex-Mayor
To Oppose
CCC Slate

Rockville voters today were
urged by former mayor of the
town to discount the glittering
generalities of the demogogues
on the Hovsepian slate and to
vote thoughtfully on Monday for
Rockville's future"
G. Lamar Kelly, Jr., who serv-
ed as mayor for three terms,
charged that vote for Hovse-
plan and members of his ticket
can only meana vote for two
years of high-priced, experiment
al government which the people
of this town can i'll afford during
this vital period of growth"
Kelly said the Hovsepian tick
ct "has purposely eVaded the
real and existing issues in this
campaign and has campaigned
on nothing but issues of its own
making.
THE people of Rockville never
rave been deceived or led by the
nose by GLIDE speeches and
grandiose schemes for creating
I feather bed estate where bills
are paid with buttons" Kelly
said.
1t is my earnest hope, he add
ed, that the voters on election
lay will show the speech makers
on the Hovsepian ticket that they
have been neither fooled noI
raioled by the creation of issues
which exist only in the minds OF
those who would turn our sounC
local government upside down
and re-mould it into Utopia for
pseudo planners and phoney
plotters."
Kelly said, "the Hovsepian tick

Rockville's five-year-old plan
for development of Recreational
areas in the town gained momen-
tum this week when a $1,000
windfall dropped into the laps of
town fathers and when City Man
ager John Mcdonald announced
that deeds to new areas are about
to be filed.
The "windfalr' came from
builder Don Gingery who handed
over $1,000 to the Mayor and
Council for capital improvements
at the TWinbrook Recreation area.
Presentation of the check was
made at the town office Monday
morning.
At the same time, the City
Manager said Michnick-DiMaio,
developers of Silver Rock and
Burgundy Hills have decided to
the town a 2.75 acre plot which
adioins the. present 3-acre recrea-
ton area in the vicinity of Mary
vale School.
Mcdonald said a four-acre plot
in old Rockcrest soon will be
decided to the town by Monroe
Warren, Rockcrest builder. A
construction shop now on the
property goes along with the gift.
In addition to the areas men
toned above, Mr.. Mcdonald said
the town owns a five-acre tract
adjacent to Twinbrook Forest
which was given to the commun-
ity by H. B. Deal, Broadwood
Manor builder, several years ago.
City officials appropriated $3.50
this month to clean up the pro
perty and currently are discuss
ing possible recreational facilities
for the property with area resi-
dents.

In discussing history of Home

said, from a small beginning in
1913, the National Home Demon

grown to the point where more
than three million women in the
United States, Alaska, Hawaii
and Puerto Rico now are partici-
pating.

didate for Mayor of Rockville, to-
day denied that his slate and the
organization backing them are
violating the law in their cam

Hovsepian's denial followed
charges hurled last Friday night
by ]. Warren Milor, one of
Hovsepian's opponents in the
race for the mayors office.
At that time, Milor said Hovse-
plan and his hackers were violat-
ing certain provisions of the
Corrupt Practices Act as those
provisions pertain to collection of
campaign funds from Federal
employees. Hovsepian and two
members of his slate are employ
