NEW YORK, (GlobaD. - The
Southern Governors held meeting
in Richmond, Va, recently. They

Court decision outlawing segrega-

these men hold important positions

they realize the seriousness of their
meeting.
If several governors do not like
a law (Which most civilized people
would consider just and hold a
meeting to consider methods of
clrcumventing it, then field hands
have a right to hold meetings to
consider methods of circumventing
any law they feel is not to their
interest. If governors of states
have a right to scheme to violate
segregation laws, then other indi-
viduals have right to scheme to
violate laws on arson, larceny and
homicide. DiSrespect for court de-
cisionS by men in high places leads
to disrespect for court decisions.
by men in ordinary walks of life.
When the governor of a state ad-
vocates discrimination and segre-
cation on account of race, the man
on the street feels justified in be-
ing disrespectful and insulting any
time and anywhere he sees some
one not of his race.
Now, the officials of the Ameri-

they can when these incidents oc-

the other five are newcomers to

Issues under question in the
non-partisan campaign are extern
sion of the present boundaries of
the town; inclusion of the Pool
eSville area in the coming ordi-
nances now under debate for all
districts of Montgomery County;
the seeking of County or State
funds for recreational facilities in
the area; installation of municipal
water and sewerage systems and
the establishment of one or more
general council meetings in a fis.
cal year.
Old-timerS say that in its &c
years as the Westernmost incor-

County, Poolesville has not ex-
perienced such a spirited town
campaign.

Newspaper columnist Drew
Pearson also has entered the
fight to unseat Mrs, Edwards
and William Bulls, another
school board incumbent, the can
didate said.
Noting that publicity about the
school board battle has been
"one-sided" so far, Mrs. Edwards
went on:
Control of the school board
involving the dictation of educa-
tional policies in the County's 80
elementary n d secondary
schools, is obviously sought by or
CARNATIONS of the ultra-left wing
or liberal philosophy"
g. The well-financed cam
paign indicates a desire to domi-
nate Montgomery County's school
system by those opposed to the
conservative members of the
board"
Bulls represents the third
district and Mrs. Edwards the
fifth district.
Bulls is opposed by Lathrop E.
Smith, who was defeated in bid
for denomination to the County
Council.
Three candidates oppose Mrs.
Edwards They are Mrs. Rose
Kramer, Mrs. Jeanne D. Ander-
son and Stanley Levy.
Smith and Mrs. Kramer have

The Montgomery County Coun-

ing revisions into the proposed
temporary coming ordinance for
Upper Montgomery County.
Members hope to vote on it at
their last meeting before going
out of office November 2.
Major changes suggested at
Tuesdays special morning
session were:
Establish a land use map for
administering the ordinance.
Eliminate text definitions for
commercial and industrial zones
and show them on the map.
Tighten controls on expansion
of commercial and industrial
uses by requiring property
owners to apply for each tract
as they want it rezoned. Under
the original proposal an entire
tract would automatically fall
into the new coming category If
a parcel of it were rezoned.
The last revision was pushed
by Councilman Grover K.
Walker, who warned against the
danger of uncurbed expansion of
undesirable uses.
