Republicans Face
Bitter Bottle for
Party Leadership
By Charles [. Hoffmon

Political activity. highlighted
last week by a rash Of filings, will
reach q peak in the next few
days in Montgomery County
with the filing deadline only q
week off.
Democrats are making efforts
to gain party peace this week end
in hopes of coming up with a
slate Tuesday night that will
represent all factions and geog-
raphical areas.
Republicans, on the other
hand are preparing for what
promises to be a bitter battle for
party leadership that may
spread itself throughout the
ticket.
Meanwhile, Charter Commit
tees leaders are meeting quietly
trying to prepare states the or
ganization will support in both
the Democratic and Republican
primaries. They are having
trouble getting what they term
suitable candidates who believe
in charter" chiefly in the upper
County area.
Democratic precinct chairmen
met Friday night in Chevy
Chase to try to come to agree
ment on a slate.
Contests. however, developed
in the various areas over pro-
posed candidates for House OF
Delegates, County Council, regis
ter of wills, sheriff, Orphans
Court. State Central Committee
and delegates to the State con-
vention.
Harmony Committee.
In another move to avoid an
open fight, a committe of 10,
including Phillip Thorson of the
Bethesda area, E. Brooke Lee of
Silver Spring and Donald e.
Gingery, representing the upper
county. was named to try to iron
out differences.
The committee met for an
hour. then reported to party
officials they had not yet reached
accord. The Tuesday night
meeting was called to give the
committee three days of meet
ingS and talks with candidates.
Indications are that the group
will be able to resolve differences
and generally satisfy the two
major factions in the party.
Most observers feel that when
the precinct chairmen- Endorsed
slate is announced it will be
headed up by DR.. Harry C. Byrd
for Governor and Charles M. Ire
Ian for Congress.
Walkout Threatened.
But hanging over the Demo-
cratic harmony moves is the
threat of a walkout of some IL
chairmen of precincts, chiefly
from the Kensington- Wheaton
area.
The group dropped out of &C
tivities Of the Eastern suburban
party meetings a couple of weeks
ago on what they said was their
opposition to an Endorsed slate.
Since then a new Mid-County
Democratic Club. headed up
Nathaniel j. Ely. has been
formed and rumors have it that
a slate headed up by George P.
Mahoney for Governor will be
filed in the county.
Meanwhile, the Republicans
are having their own troubles
with the challenge by John R..
Reeves. Harold F. Hammond.
Harold Prangley and others Of
the present organization.
The trio are among those who
plan a meeting tonight in an
effort to expand their slate for
the State Central Committee.
And if they feel they have rea-
sonable support. the chance is
good they may support candi-
dates for other spots on the
primary ballot.

opinion" that such training has
been Of definite value both to

ration of the report and said
President Eisenhower will send
a recommendation to Congress.
Some Have Program Now.
The House committee declared
that its study points up the
need for improved training of
Federal personnel at all levels.
The committee noted that such
agencies as iva, the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. and the Post
Office and Defense Departments
do have some legislative author
ity to train employees.
But it declared other agencies
do not have such authority and
there is no general Government
wide training program author
lied by law.
College Training Urged.
Besides in-Government train
ing of employees, the committee
also said legislation is needed to
provide outside training in col
leges and industry. It stressed,
however, that outside training
should only be permissible when
adequate training within the
Government is available.
The committee said a Govern
ment wide training program
would lead to "D fair and
equitable treatment of employees
and enable them to advance in
their Government careers, CD
improved service to the public as
well as dollar savings, 90 build
ing and retention of permanent
cadre of skillful, efficient. and
up-to-date officials and en-
ployes. well abreast of changing
scientific, professional, technical,
and management developments
both in and out of Government,
(4) lower turnover of personnel,
50 reasonably uniform treat
ment of training, consistent with
the duties Of the various
agencies"
The committee, which would
handle such legislation in the
House, said the program should
provide for continuous review
and control by Congress. Also,
the Civil Service Commission
would be expected to set clear
cut and effective standards" and
arrange for periodic inspections
to see that the program is car
ried out according to the will of
Congress. A Presidential execut-
ing order setting up whatever
program is decreed by Congress
would also be needed, the COM
mittee said.
The committee said the legis-
lation should contain some over
all limitations and suggested
that an employees length of
training should not exceed one
year for every 10 years of serv-
ice or any proportion thereof.
For example, an employe with
five years of service could be
given six months of training.
The amount of training could
be more or less than that. de-
pending on the employees length
of service, the committee said.
Also it suggested a limitation on
the amount of money that an
agency could spend on such pro-
grams. such as not over per
cent of total budget.
Industrialists Questioned.
The committee said that as
part of its study it had sent
questionnaires to 100 leading in
dustrial firms throughout the
country regarding training pro-
grams. Seventy per cent Of the
firms have outside training pro-
grams. the survey showed.
