Politicians Rumpus
Throughout State
AS Primary Nears

All Maryland was a political
rumpus room this week as candi-
dates swung away in traditional
throat-cutting primary fights.
On state and local level the
primary candidates carried on
vendettas with foes of the same
party as they hit the stretch
drive.
The hottest battle continued be-
tween DIR. H. C. Byrd and George
P. Mahoney for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
Numerous more Democratic
l,tbs endorsed the former Mary
land university presidents bid
for the nomination during the
week.
Meanwhile, Mahoney unleash
ed an attack on "bossism" in
Byrd's camp.
In his paper war on Byrd, the
Baltimore contractor released
the 50th in series of 100 state
ments he plans to issue before
the campaign is over.
BOSS Rule"
He warned that "if independ-
ent Democrats neglect to vote in
the June % primary, they will
surrender to the bosses re-
member, if you vote you're
the bass"
Mahoney said the demand has
exhausted his supply of 25,000
membership cards in his tom,
Dick and Harry Club" and that
he has optimistically ordered
100000 more.

Flood Proof
Span Planned
Over Seneca

Plans for "flood-proof" bridge
over Great Seneca Creek near
Jacksonville are on the State
Roads Commissions drawing
board.
Anthony F. DiDomenico, en-
gineer for the Commission, said
this week that the new span
should be built within a year.
In the past six years, 81 $780,
973 has been spent on repairing
Route % between Jamestown
and Route Is.
Jacksonville residents main
tanned the road work would not
be completed unless a bridge
could be built to stop the annual
floods.
The Great Seneca frequently
spills over its banks, swapping
Route % under as much as six
feet of water.
The proposed new bridge will
have elevated approaches and will
be wider, putting it above the
flood stage.
Roads Commission authorities
admitted, at the same time, that
they have no plans for curing
two other sore spots on Route
ga dangerous curve at the in
tersection with Route 419 at Dick
erSon, and a blind" intersection
with Route 100 in Beallsville.

Here Will Be
SLOW Process
Officials See No
Change in School
By Fall Semester

Indignation of white and Negro
school children in Montgomery
County will be SLOW process
despite the Supreme Courts nom
segregation edict.
School authorities plan to
stand pat" on their system this
Fall.
In an unanimous opinion, the
Supreme Court Monday over
turned the South's traditional
policy of separating whites and
Negroes in schools.
The Court ruled the equal but
separate" philosophy has no
place" in public education.
1t opened the door to integral
ton in the District of Columbia,
Virginia, Delaware, Kansas and
South Carolina and the opinion
left no doubt that it meant the
end of school segregation
throughout the nation.
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, superin-
tendent of schools for Montgom-
cry County, said only about six
per cent of the County's 1880
school children are Negroes.
1--WE will await orders and work
on the problem, meanwhile"
Norris said.
1t was indicated that the board
of education has no plans for
integrating white and Negro
school students by the Fall Sc
mester.
The Supreme Courts decision
will not be a cure-all for Mont
gomery County's overpopulated
school system.
Norris pointed out that the
County has classroom space for
a total of some $4,000 white and
Negro children, but the popula.
ton is growing rapidly.
In Rockville, Carver high school
is below capacity while Lincoln
junior high is overcrowded. Both
are Negro schools.
Another problem to be faced,
school authorities noted, will be
that of integrating the Negro
school teachers into classrooms.

Capital Projects
Total $S,359,995
In '54-'55 Outlay

An operating budget of ST.
100000 with a 10-cent hike in tax
rates was recommended Tuesday
to the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil.
n Acting County Manager Jeptha
Carroll urged the Council to boost
the current $1.87 assessed valua-
ton to $1.97.
Six cents of the dime increase
would go for built-in innovation,
a "pay-as-you-go" scheme for
school construction.
Montgomery County's total
1954-55 budget, with proposed
$8,359,995 for capital projects,
would add up to SOS, 348,438.
The operating budget proposed
by Carroll is $1,100,000 above last
years budget costs.
Highlight
Chief recommendation made
by Carroll:
1. Pay increases up to $500 for
teachers; 100 new classroom
teachers and II Special area
teachers. The board of education
had asked for 214 teachers.
2. General readjustment of the
salaries of County employees.
Carroll earmarked $4,000 for
the pay boosts.
3. Carroll Topped off requests
for numerous employees, axing Is
from the health department, nine
in inspections and licenses, 10 in
public, safety and four in the per-
sonnet office.
4. Policemen also will get pay
boosts equaling that for teachers
under CarrelIs recommended
budget, but he specified there
will be no Unconstitutional"

Capturing a strong, husky
goose is an accomplishment in
itself. The bird must be over
powered and held down by
kneeling upon him, so that his
wings and legs are stationary.
The beak must be kept closed
with one hand to prevent sharp
nips. The other hand is used to
open the mouth so that food can
be forced down the gullet.
When his gullet is empty, the
bird willingly co-operates by
