"They have spread the cross

Poor Spot on Ballot
Hurts Chances 10 Lift
Officials Pay Limits
By ChorIes L. Hoffman

Two proposed amendments to
the Montgomery County Charter
on the ballot November 2, are
likely to get lost in the shuttle
The two questions are num-
bers 10 and IL at the top of the
ballot and may get little consid-
Grafton by voters who must pull
levers, for "a State and county
candidates.
Both questions deal with sal
aries of county officials.
Lift Pay Limits.
Question No. 10 would increase
from $40 to $50 meeting the
compensation county councilmen
receive and remove the present
$1,000 a year ceiling.
Question No. II would remove
the present $4,000 limitation on
the county managers salary and
authorize the council to set the
pay rate.
Of the two questions. the one
involving the managers salary
Is most likely to be passed.
Both - in slightly different
form-failed two years ago.
The County League of Women
voters is supporting both
amendments. Other groups,
while taking a stand on the man
ayers salary. have avoided the
council question.
The Republican State Central
Committee has ignored both
questions. The Democratic
Committee, however, has come
out for the lifting of the man
ayers salary limitation but de-
clined to take a stand on the
council question. The County
Charter Committee has taken a
similar position.

The 26-year-old Brennan, who

Brennan has rather thin squad

strength in the line. He isn't a
