1. 1 propose to submit a for
mula whereby taxes collected by
the State and returned to the
counties and the City of Balti-
more shall be distributed on
bases that will provide the coun-
ties and the City of Baltimore
with incentives to attain or sur
pass minimum State standards.
This formula will apply to such
items as school construction,
school operating eXpen S,
ways, etc. Under this formula
teacher salaries, streets and high
the county most nearly meeting
minimum State STANDARDS would
get the maximum amount of
State collected tax funds.
2. We should develop and ac-
lively pursue an intelligent pro-
gram for the procurement of
light industry, research activi-
ties, and chronological activities
or businesses.
3. am firmly in favor of maxi
mum grants of "home rule"
authority for both counties and
municipalities. I am likewise in
favor of an intelligent, alert and
articulate electorate. 1 believe,
also, that the departments and
other offices of the Montgomery
County Government must be re-
sponsive to the Montgomery
County Council.
4. Under recent decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, segregation in schools on
the basis of race is unconStitu-
tional. Therefore, we must pro-
ceed by orderly and intelligent
methods to accomplish compli-
ance with those decisions within
a minimum of time consistent
with an appropriate utilization of
facilities and talent.
5. Being a farmer myself, l am
obviously committed to seeing
that the farmer, as one group of
citizens and business people
within Montgomery County, is
fairly and equitably treated in
appropriate relationship to all
other groups of citizens within
the county.
6. l sincerely believe that my
education and experience, my
business integrity, and my sim
cerity of purpose qualify me to
render intelligent and effective
service to my fellow citizens OF

/. (a) A larger share of State
tax from other than real estate
sources, such as income and sales
taxes, collected in Montgomery
County should be returned to the
county; (b) State aid for the con-
struction of schools should be
provided on the basis of new
pupils, and changes in the equali-
zation aid providing more incen-
tive funds for building should be
provided. Assessments through
out the State should be more
nearly uniform.
2. Light industry located in
planned locations where it will
not deteriorate residential proper
ty values, if it pays high wages
to labor already in the county
and does not import cheap
labor which might have to be
partly supported by existing tax
payers, should be welcomed.
No tax concessions should be
made, and industries with objec-
tionable waste products which
would pollute the air or our
streams with their wastes should
not be encouraged.
We should establish an econ
omic development commission to
guide the economic development
of the county and prevent unwise
precipitate action.
We should have a master land
plan and then reZone the county
to provide for light industry.
3. I am for home rule. The
County Council should continue
to have authority to make all

He has the same role in the
new televiSion series, with Gil
Stratto. jr.. as his son and Ro-
chelle Hudson as his wife. For
reinforcement there is a stock
comedy character, the, sharp
tongued servant. Her function
is to gloss over slow spots in
the action with such observa-
tions as: "On my salary, I don't
think. You can't have a pSy-
chiatrist and a cook at the same
time"
On their initial effort, these
people, with some help from Lyle
Talbot as Mayehoff's old ath-
letic buddy, managed to be gen.
orally amusing. They did not
depart completely from the
realm of reality and they did
not throw pies all over the place,
which is more than can be said
for some situation comedies on
television.
x X x X
AS a matter of fact, it might
be a good idea to drop that term,
because That's My Boy" is not
precisely situation comedy. It
is more character comedy than
anything else. Mr.. Mayehoff is
not a comedian, but sort of
thespic caricaturist. He is a
def1ater of the first order.
Here he is impersonating
successful businessman old
enough to have a son ready for
college, but still living in the
glory of the days when he was
an all-American. a nine-letter
man and the only permanent
winner of the Harvey P. Osgood
Memorial Trophy. 1t is quite
likely that you have known spe-
cimens of the type. Mr.. Maye-
hof pillories them all, comically
and without undue malice.

Liberdce Meets Durante;
Eddie Mdyehoff Returns
By Harry Macarthur

A couple of solo piano players
got together on the television
last night and the result was
quite a frolic. The two were
Liberace (Who brought his
candelabrum and his brother
George, and Jimmy Durante
(whose nose seemed undamaged
despite Fridays disaster reports)
Their collaboration was for the
purpose of a fictional account of
how Durante discovered Liberace,
set forth on THE Comedy
Hour" (WNBW-Sunday, 8pmD
Lively as this project seemed
through one set of eyes and ears,
it may have disappointed some
Liberace fans. especially those
whose sense of fun is less than
that of their idol.
The pianist's admirers got vir-
tually no Liberace as Liberace.
They got Liberace as a dancer
(no Cover Champion, but will
ing). They got him as an actor
(no Oscar threat yeti. And they
got him as a Durante-style piano
player obviously enjoying it to
the utmost.
There were, as was expected,
several highly comic musical bits
on the program. One of them
involved an amateur contest con-

determined his protege would
win. Win he did. after Durante
held the pointer on the applause
meter and brought in a brass
band for support while Liberace
rendered "Alexander's Ragtime
Band" in fine old ragtime style.
Another high spot was the
concluding duel between the two,
in which the SchnoZ countered
Brother George with a gorgeous
blond doll bearing a bass fiddle.
His Sister Georgianne, he said.
This produced more mayhem
than music, but most of it was
funny to viewer who is, well,
impartial on the subject of
Liberace.

turned out to have nothing to
do with the Durante-Liberace
bout. This show may go down
IN history as the one on which
the solution to the singing COM
mercial problem was discovered.
We don't have to have singing
commercials abolished. We Just
have to get them all sung by
Marilyn Maxwell.
All in all, it was a most en-
Joyable hour and any members
of the Liberace set who wish to
object are hereby forgiven in ad-
vance. After all. the only time
their boy got going in his own
pyrotechnical style, Durante
quickly cut him down.

with fine show of Scorn.

Soldier OF
Fortune Gets
2-Year Term
Whitley Dahl Is
Convicted In
$4,000 Theft

GENEVA, Switzerland R-Har-
old (Whitey) Dahl, 45-year-old
American flier and soldier of
fortune, was convicted today of
stealing $4,000 worth of gold in
order to finance gay time with
his mistress at Monte Carlo. He
was sentenced to two years in
prison.
Dahl was found guilty by a jury
of five men and one woman of
taking the gold from a Swissair
plane he was plotting from Paris
to Geneva in October, 1858.
The jury said Dahl carried the
gold from the plane and deposited
it in the apartment of his mis-
tress." The jury referred to Dahl's
Swiss girl friend, Miss Ella Ep-
penberger, a former Swissair host
ess. She was arrested with Dahl in
December 1858, but later was re-
leased.
He Lived High
The prosecution charged Dahl
used part of the gold to finance
four days of high living at Monte
Carlo with Miss Eppenberger.
Dahl claimed he won $4,000 from
the gaming tables at the famed
Riviera gambling resort and used
that to take up the tab for their
stay. Miss Eppehberger testified
also that Dahl won large sums
playing roulette.
Dahl has clung steadfastly to his
claim that he is innocent and that
the package he was seen carrying
from the plane contained only two
bottles of cognac. In a faltering
voice after hearing the verdict, he
said:
He's Amazed
81 am simply amazed at this
example of justice in Switzerland,
country that is supposed to be
famous for its Justice"
1t was a low ebb in the career
of Dahl, who sprang into inter-
national prominence during the
Spanish revolution which put Gen.
Francisco Franco into power.
Dahl flew for the Republican
forces but was shot down by
Frances men. He was sentenced
to death, then given a reprieve.
His beautiful blonde wife, through
appeals to Franco, finally won a
pardon for him. Dahl has since
been divorced and remarked. He
is said to have a wife and three
children living in Canada, He is a
native of Sidney, Ill.

Los ANGELES tR-For the
f6urth Successive day, southern
California was in the grip today
OF raffic-paralyzing, eye-smarting
smog and fog that the weather
man says will continue over the
weekend.
Indicative of the binding effect
of the fog, which rolled 10 miles
inland from the Pacific, was a
traffic report of 1,47O crashes since
the dense, ground-hugging mist
started last Wednesday. However,
only two deaths were attributed
directly to traffic.
Fog closed Los Angeles inter-
national and Long Beach Airports
again last night. Lockheed Airport
at inland Burbank, usually free of
fog, was closed for an hour. then
reopened.
Visibility in Los Angeles Harbor
was three quarters of a mile. The
fog slowed but did not stop the
movement of ships. Fog horns in
the harbor at Santa Monica had
walled steadily 4S hours.
Santa Grounded
Even Santa Claus was grounded
by fog in Santa Monica. Retail
merchants there had arranged for
him to arrive by helicopter. The
children were on hand, despite the
gloom and the mist, but old Santa
just couldn't fly through the fog.
The merchants changed signals
and Santa finally showed up late,
riding in slow-moying bus. The
kids weren't impressed.
Cities in the metropolitan Los
Angeles area were asked to refrain
from burning trash until the smog
and fog seige is ended.
DR.. Frederick d. Newbarr, Los
Angeles County's chief autopsy
surgeon, said microscopic studies
will be made of three infants who
died of respiratory ailments ad
added "but we have no test to
determine definitely that smog in
any way contributed to their
deaths" Autopsies indicated yes.
