Farm on Seven Locks road.
The Rockville Board Of Trade
urged the council to request
Montgomery County to reserve

"recreational, educational and
health center" A plan pre-
scented by Ralph w. Baxter.
executive secretary of the Board
Of Trade. calls for a hospital, an
amphitheater. a swimming pool
and play areas.
The Board Of Trade proposal
would put the city in COMPETE
ton with three county agencies
which have shown an active in
terest in using the farm. 1t is
partly within the corporate
limits Of Rockville.
Montgomery County civil de-
tense director, retired Rear Ad-
miral Roy Hartwig. wants to use
it as an airstrip for the civil air
patrol. The Montgomery Coun-
ty Recreation Department wants
1t for q recreation area. The

ANNAPOLIS, April 6.-The
county Legislative program of the
all-Democratic Montgomery del
egation went through the Legis-
lature with little difficulty.
Its Statewide proposals, how
ever, did not fare so well.
The delegation, in corporation
with the Prince Georges delega-
ton, not only reorganized the
bi-county Planning and Sanitary
Commissions but also revamped
their operations.
The Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, under legislation passed
will be required to hold public
hearings in advance of budget
adoptions and rate increases.
In its Planning Commission
program. the Montgomery dele
cation gave the County Council
control over setting of the adj
ministrative tax rate for the
commission in the county.
Jurisdiction Extended
1t also put through a last
minute bill extending the COM
MISSIONS jurisdiction through
the county, excluding Rockville,
Gaithersburg and Washington
Grove.
The delegation provided that
areas annexed by the towns
will be excluded, but put in a
clause to insure that the extern
sion will not be killed if this
latter provision is in conflict
with the municipal home rule
bill enacted here Monday.

County Program Achieved
ByMontgomery Delegation

Under other bills enacted, the
planning commission also will be
permitted to buy freeway rights
of way and school sites out of
a revolving fund Of surplus
monies and to acquire parkland
outside the park district.
The sanitary district was ex-
banded in the county in the
Cabin John Valley area and
near Gaithersburg. Both ex-
pansions were much smaller
than originally proposed by the
commission.
Legislation to permit the
council to impose a tax on
cigarettes was enacted at a q
cent-a-pack rate. This is esti-
mated to raise upward Of
$500. 1000.
Recordation Fee Killed
Another measure providing for
a S. recordAtion fee on deeds,
trusts and other transfer papers
was killed by a split in the dele
cation. It would have raised
about 100000 a year.

public school buildings for po-
litical and religious meetings.
The county Board of Education
recently had ordered such use
to stop next year.
A bill to bar liquor distillers
from selling in the State If they
refuse to sell directly to county
dispensary systems was killed in
the Senate. The bill was aimed
at breaking a distillers' boycott
Of the county system.
The delegation also created q
full-time, three-judge Peoples
Court which preceding delega-
tons had failed to push through
the Assembly.
The county stands to pick up
some 100000 in State school

HOLLYWOOD, Fla, Nov. 20
I(R.-What this nation needs,
said Philip D. Reed. is so mil
lion capitalists to help finance
Americas tremendous growth in
the immediate future.
Mr.. Reed, chairman Of the
board Of General Electric, called
for a seven-fold increase in the
ranks Of capitalism today at the
44th annual convention of the
Investment Bankers Association
of America.
There now are only six or
seven million stockholders in this
country. Mr.. Reed said, and q
total of 40 to so million are
needed. This tremendous in
crease in stockholders appears
imperative If industry is to raise
the private funds necessary to
meet the staggering capital re-
Iquirements Of expansion in the
years ahead"
General Electric, he said, has
enormous confidence" in the
future. He cited four reasons
for that confidence In his pre-
pared speech:
l. THE large and assured pop
Eulation growth in the United
States"
2. The new position of econom-
lie, military and political strength
that the Western democracies
have achieved means more and
more "of our rapidly rising ma
Itional production can be devoted
to increasing our standard of
living rather than to defense"
3. An annual expenditure Of
81 billion for research provides
convincing assurance of a con-
tinued flow of new knowledge,
new ideas and new products that
win stimulate both investment
and demand in the years ahead.
and this means further growth"
4. THE emergence Of our own
particular brand of capitalism
Ia peoples capitalism. in which
the masses. not simply the priv
Iileged few, enjoy its fruits and
benefits"
