Montgomery $4,000
Yearly, Board Told

Alarmed at growing vandalism
in the public schools, the Mont
gomery County Board of Educa-
ton Tuesday voted to study pos
sible legislation which would
make parents responsible.
Originally proposed by William
F. Bulls, the move to express
concern with vandalism received
strong support from Stanley H..
Slime who warned fellow board
members-some of whom are
standing for re-election-that pub
lie resentment of vandalism had
reached point at which it would
be politically wise for the Board
to take the matter up.
Wylie w. Barrow, Board presi,
dent, objected to the original res
olution calling for County dele
gates to the General Assembly to
express the County's desire to
have the criminal code amended
to make parents responsible for
vandalism damage done by their
children in the schools. Barrow

Noting that SO per cent of the
$50 square miles Up County are
agricultural, Chairman Thomas
Kelley said that "the time to plan
is now"
Copies of the study are avail

the County building.
Dyke Cullum, publicity chair
man of the Landowners Associa-
ton said it plans to fight passage
of the ordinance with all we've
got"
Landowners have said the or
dinance is full of flaws and
that the dying County Council
should turn the problem oxer to
its successor Council.
The proposed ordinance would
freeze" development Up County
for two years in agricultural
areas but according to coming
planners, would permit expansion
of existing residential, commerce

After several months of inten.

Health department concluded:
This disease in all probability
is not new. It is likely that when

1T is probably only when the

such as student nurses, or be-
comes widespread among the gen

and research studies are initiated.

Last Summers polio-like cpl
demic at Chestnut Lodge in Rock
vile was not polio-but experts
remain mystified over what
caused it.
Closing months of investigation
this week, the Montgomery Coun-
ty Health department said these
conclusions had been reached:
l. The disease was NOT due to
a poliomyelitis virus.
2. 1t was not due to any of
the known Coxsackie v;ruses, and
3. No identifiable viral agent
could be isolated from any of the
specimens"
In July of 1858, the disease

graduate nurses and a staff men,

clinical pictude of polio, but sew

Regular Shopper
Bus Lines Sure
For ROckvillans

Regular shoppers bus service
for Rockville became a certainty
this week.
Officials of the Silver Spring
Transit Co., which has operated
two lines in Rockville since
September 2, said they would con.
tinue service - at 15-cents ride
49, even if the Board of Trade de-
cides the six-week tryout is un-
successful.
r. w. Baxter, executive direc-
tor of the Board of Trade said,
however, that the service, which
links all Rockville homes with the
city's shopping district, has been
gaining daily.
An average of $50 riders are
carried on the lines each day,
Baxter noted. Underwritten by
the Board, shoppers bus fares
are only 10-cents.
Thomas Parran, transit com
pany president, said he would
keep up the service but lengthen
the time of service, if the Trade
Board gives up.
Buses will pick up riders at any
intersection.

Keynoted by an attack on the
GOP-ruled Council as cant do"
group, Montgomery County Dem
ocrats last week opened their
campaign with a bang.
Blair Lee III, candidate for the
House of Delegates, led off the
blast at a Democratic rally in
Rockville.
Failing the Republican mem
bers of the County Council as ty-
rants whose yoke" has burdened
the County for EIGHT long
years." Lee said:
"It is the tyranny of an inept,
legalistic procrastinating local
government, paralyzed by its own
red tape, held at bay by its own
bureaucracy, smothered under
the avalanche of its own r ules
and regulations"
Councilmen-at-large candidates

JamiSon asSailed the Council for
"empire-building and jet-propelled
taxes"
Congressional candidate Ed
ward ]. Ryan noted that some
Democrats of Montgomery Coun-
ty can not be trusted" in the vot-
ing booths, because Democrats
hold a top-heavy registration
bulge, but apparently vote COP.
Edward Northrop, candidate
for State Senator, told Democrats
Sunday as they officially opened
their headquarters in Wheaton
that Republican Gov. McKeldin
paid off political obligation" in
Prince Georges County by order
ing the awarding of three Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary COM
mission sewer and water con-
tracts to help the Congressional
campaign of incumbent Rep.
Frank Small, Jr.
Referring to L. S. (Ted) Ray,
COP political leader who op-
posed awarding of the contracts,
Northrop added:
Even one of the Republican
bosses of Montgomery County
found it too much to stomach as
sessing Montgomery County tax
payers for political activities of
The Republicans"
Montgomery County pays about
go per cent of the operating costs
of the commission, Northrop said.

Ghost of General Jubal Early
Crossing the Potomac Again

commander who made repeated
forays across the Potomac tc
harrass Union forces in Rockville

riding again.
The reincarnation of the dash
ing general is new, all.steel
ferry boat plying the waters OF
the Potomac at Whites Ferry,
providing a renewal of the link
between Montgomery County and
the Lecsburg, Va. area.
Decision to name the new fer.
ny the Gen. Jubal Early stemmed
from a study Of the Civil War
history of Montgomery County,
according to r. Edwin Brown,
Rockville attorney, resident of
the Beallsville area, and an of.
ficcr OF the operating company.
II hope and believe our new
ferry will make the crossing
about 100 times day." Mr..
Brown said. That's little more
frequently than General Early
and his Confederates crossed the
Potomac, but there's no getting
around the fact that the General
was one Of the leading Maryland.
Virginia commuters of the last
century. That's why we thought
we'd name the new craft after
him"

Political
Republicans

Republicans of Montgomery
County kicked off their 1854 cam.
paign with a gigantic rally at
Southlawn Farm in Rockville
Saturday.
Rep. Dewitt Hyde told 1900
spectators the Republican party
will win in November on its rec.
ord of accomplishment.
Admitting taxes have been
boosted, he blamed a population
rise and the need for more
schools and teachers.
"The issue is whether the
people are going to tell the poll.
ticians they are to be reward 4
for their accomplishments or
whether the people feel that more
importance must be attached to
how cheaply the politicians can
operate the County" Hyde
doomed.
n Other speakers at the rally
probably the biggest of it's kind
ever held in the County-were
David Scull, candidate-at-large
for the Council, and State Sen,
Anders Lofstrand, seeking reelec'
ton.
A pageant, ABE to Ike" tell.
ing the story of the COP party's
100-year history, was narrated by
Hugh Hassell, also Council
candidate.
Scull said Democrats are fol.
lowing a me too line and max.
ing reckless promises"
Lofstrand attacked Edward ].
Ryan, Hyde's Democratic oppo.
nent, for a speech in which Ryan
was quoted as saying the Coun.
tvs Democrats couldn't be trust
ed in the voting booth.
Among prominent Republicans
at the rally were Mrs. Ivy Baker
Priest, Treasurer of the United
States; Sen. ]. Glenn Beall; Boil
Wan Ambassador Victor An
drade; Mrs. Hiram Houghton OF
the Foreign Operations admins
tration and Roberta o. Heute'

news of the week, ]. Douglas

tvs State delegation for the past
four years, was named to direct

election to the House of Dele
