ClenIllOnt Pair
Active as All
Club Leaders
By Adele ChidakeI
Staff Reporter


Who says the world of the
suburbanite and the world of the
farmer don't mix?
Mr.. and Mrs. Llewellyn Biggs
of Glenmont and their two chill.
dren can tell you this just isn't so.
The Biggses - both of them
city folk born and bred - serve
as leaders for three All clubs be.
tween them. They direct the only
boys and girls All clubs in the
whole Wheaton-Glenmont area.
In addition to his work with the
Glen Allen boys All club, Mr..
Biggs serves as leader for a
countrywide group of All boys
who raise baby beef.
Last week, Mr.. and Mrs. Biggs
spent their time at the County
Fair grounds in Gaithersburg,
where Mr.. Biggs served as super.
intendent of the horticulture and
poultry division in the open class.
That is, he was in charge of
registering all entries in that
division, keeping records on
awards, and putting the right
ribbons on the right exhibits.
Every now and then, he took time
out to walk down to the baby
beef barns to see how his boys
were doing.
Mrs. Biggs had no official job
at the fair, but ran errandS for
me" her husband said.
The Biggs children 49, Robert,

Earlier this summer, Mr.. Biggs

Local Stores
Have Copies
For Signature
By Susie Kaplan
10. 4-7368

The Wheaton Chamber of Com.
merce is going all out for an In.
dependent Post Office for Our
Town"
Larger quarters are needed
desperately. There is no park
ing area and you practically take
your life in your hands trying to
cross Old Bladensburg Road.
There is no access to boxes af
ter 6 p. m. weekdays and II noon
Saturdays.
At its last meeting the Cham.
Der heard from Congressman
Hyde who backed the idea but
stated that petition signed by
the citizens of Wheaton would be
more effective than anything he
could do.
Phil Travis and Mr.. Feldman,
both lawyers, volunteered to
draw up petition so that it could
be distributed to the local mer-
chants where it will be easily
seen by many of our Wheaton
Glenmonites.
1t should be in the local stores
by the end of the week.
All citizens associations, Serv-
ice clubs, PTA's, Homemakers,
etc. are invited to ask their mem
bers to support their idea. 1t
shouldn't be too long before thou
sands of signatures will be turn
ed over to the Post Office De-
partment to let them know that
almost to a man everyone in
Wheaton would like to have a
new Post Office.
If you need any further infor-
nation, call Phil Austensen, Lo.

For several days l have been
checking with Mr.. Mason, prin-
cipal of Wheaton High and DR..
Norris, Superintendent of the
County Schools TO learn just
what will be the enrolment of
our large combination school for
this fall.
The schools capacity is 100
children and the expected enroll
ment is between 100000. There
are hundreds of houses being
completed near the school and
! once people start moving in there
are bound to be a few more eli
gihle to Wheaton High.
Naturally, where to house so
many children has become the
number one problem of not only
Wheaton, but everywhere.
There are several ideas that
have been proposed, but no de-
cision has been made to just what
will be done.
One of course, is for the 18th
and Sth graders to be placed on
double shifts. The other is to
explore all of the means avail
able to the area to see just where
other buildings could be used as
school rooms.
Another possibility is to use
the auditorium stage, double up
classes, so that any room that
could possibly hold 70 students
would have two groups being
taught at once. Cafeterias, lib
raries, even halls. if necessary,
would be used if it is decided to
avoid the double shift program.
If there are staggered shifts,
the students would get all of their
required subjects, but physical
education, music, home econo-

REPORT FROM WASHINGTON

BY REPRESENTATIVE c.

as the lady in red," boldly walk
ed into the House chamber, pro-
ceeded down the aisle to the
Speakers rostrum. and asked per-
mission to address the House.
This incident points up again
the need to take the Capitol Po-
lice Force out of politics and put
ii on a professional basis. Had
the woman in question been a re-
volutionary, or even just emo
tionally upset. she might easily
have taken the life of the Speak
er or run amuck on the floor of
the House.
1t may well be that this lat
est episode would have .oc-
CURED even if the House had
been protected by a trained
police force. We are naturally
trusting and easy going peo-
pie and are generally lax in
security measures. 1 would hate
to see the time come when visi-
tors to the House would have
to be searched or unduly re-
stricted in their opportunities
to see their Congress in action.
However. 1 think most people
will agree that when persons
can enter the gallery and shoot
up the House of Representa-
tiveS. and when an unauthOriz-
ed person can march through
= the House and right up to the
Speakers rOstrum, it is time
for some steps to be taken
to tighten up the security sys-
ten. The recent incident involv-
ing the lady in red" may,
therefore, turn out to be exact
ly what is needed to encourage
Congress to discard the spOils
system which is in effect on
Capitol Hill, and establish a
professional police force, based
on the merit system.
COMMITTEES REORGANIZED
Another result of change in
control and cause for delay is
getting under way. is that the
Committees of the House must
be reorganized. An assembly COM
posed Of 435 individuals could
not function effectively without
the committee system. All legis-
lation proposed in the House re-
ceiveS careful screening at the
hands of committee before
coming to the Floor for final
action. This means that the COM
position of each committee is
very important.
The party in power nationally
wishes to have firm control over
all committees, because the COM
mittees exercise close control over
legislation. and the Rules Com
mittee even determines what legis-
lation can come before the House
for consideration.
Normally it is not difficult for
the majority party to assign its
members to appropriate commit
tees. because the ratio is always
loaded in favor of the majority.
II is the minority that finds the
task of assigning members diff
cult. because it no. only has to
find appropriate places for new

WASHINGTON. d. c. - Con-
gresS is off again this year to
y hat seems to be a slow start
at least it must seem that way
to those back home who expect
explosive action almost daily.
However, the situation seems a
bout normal to Members of Con-
greSS.
We nave been here two weeks
now. but the House is not fully
organized and ready to function
yet. That is understandable to
those who realize that. when
there is a change OF control from
one party to another, not only is
there a change in the Speaker
ship, but changes follow all a
long the line.
RAYBURN HOUSE SPEAKER
The first order of business
in a new Congress is the Selec-
tion of a Speaker. As expected,
Mr. Rayburn was elected. He re-
ceived 226 votes to 1913 for Mr..
Joe Martin. The two candidates
politely refrained from voting.
There were eight members abb
sent and one vacancy, caused by
the death of a Congressman
from Florida following the cleo
ti0n. This accounts for the en-
tire membership of ASS.
Following the election of the
Speaker. each party announced
the selection of its Leader for the
term. 1t is interesting to note that
both parties turned to the Com
monwealth Of Massachusetts, for
their leaders. The Democrats Sc
lected John Mccormack of BoS-
ton, and the Republicans again
chose Joe Martin Of North Attle-
boro Thus Massachusetts has the
honor of furnishing the House
leadership on both sides of the
aisle in this 84th Congress.
CHANGES NOT UNEXPECTED
The next order of business was
the selection of Clerk of the
House, Sergeant at Arms, Door
keeper, Postmaster. and Chaplain.
With the exception of Chaplain,
these are all considered political
plumS and are under the control
Of the party that organizes the
House. The changes in these posi-
tons therefore were not uneXpect-
ed.
All Of you will recall the Incl
dent last year when several Puerto
Ricans gained access to the gal
lery and shot up the House,
Woundiug five members. Follow
ing this incident there were in
sistent demands for a reorganlza-
ton of the Capitol Police. A bill
passed the House to transform
this police force into a profess
sional body and remove it from
the field of patronage. Unfortun-
ately the bill did not clear the
Senate. and it died with the ad-
journment of the 63rd Congress.
